Description
The present invention relates to preamble according to claim 1 by the method for the back face metalization of semiconductor element and the machine table performing this method, this semiconductor element is photovoltaic solar cells or the precursor in photovoltaic solar cell manufacture process.
In photovoltaic solar cell, charge carrier is generally seen off through metal structure.Such metal structure is aware of, the side of its conducting semiconductor element by entire surface at this.
In most simple form, semiconductor element is made up of the semiconductor layer with p doped region and n doped region.This semiconductor element can also comprise insulating barrier or other layer, especially semiconductor layer.
In addition, except characteristic electron is as except the composite attribute on surface and semiconductor layer material product amount, the in addition optical efficiency important to solar battery efficiency.Optical efficiency represents all electronics electron hole centering and the ratio of electromagnetic radiation arriving at front that produce because light is incident to solar cell.In order to improve optical efficiency, the light path extended in solar cell is especially also important: because absorbent properties are low, a part for longwave optical penetrates solar cell and arrives at rear surface of solar cell.Therefore being aware of to improve optical efficiency, being formed this back side with specular manner, thus the light arriving at the back side is reflected to front again.
To this it is known that utilize the back face metalization structure of whole to come the coating semiconductor element back side as back reflector.In addition be also aware of and occur parasitic absorption in structurized or coarse metal level.Therefore cause, the metal level of smooth (such as evaporation) have than the higher reflection (such as by silk screen printing manufacture) of more coarse layer.
Another possibility obtaining the inside light path prolongation in solar cell has description in DE 10 2,009 042 018 A1.At this, realize diffractive surface structure at rear surface of solar cell.This causes photon reflected overleaf to be reflected with discrete angle of diffraction.In this way, also can strengthen long-wave radiation by inner light path prolongation to absorb.
Task of the present invention is to provide a kind of by the method for the back face metalization of semiconductor element, and its application improves the internal reflection performance of rear surface of solar cell and allows to obtain as far as possible flat back face metalization structure to reduce parasitic absorption as far as possible simultaneously.Task of the present invention is also to provide a kind of solar cell, and wherein, back face metalization structure improves in reflecting properties and flatness.In addition, the present invention should provide a kind of and perform the machine table of this method for the manufacture of this solar cell.
This task has been come by method according to claim 1, photovoltaic solar cell according to claim 12 and the machine table for performing this method according to claim 13.The Advantageous embodiments of the method is found in claim 2-11.The Advantageous embodiments of the machine table for performing the method is found in claim 14 and 15.Hereby include the statement of claim in specification by clearly quoting.
Method of the present invention is used for semiconductor element back face metalization.This semiconductor element is the precursor of photovoltaic solar cell in photovoltaic solar cell or manufacturing process and comprises at least one semiconductor layer.Now it is within the scope of the invention that, semiconductor layer with Semiconductor substrate and especially Silicon Wafer form is formed.
The method comprises following methods step:
In method step A, the metal foil film of at least one at least individual layer is applied to the back side of semiconductor element.
In method step B, the metal foil film applied in method step A is locally heated.Thus one, in regional area, realize the fusing of at least metal foil film momently.
Importantly, between metal foil film and the semiconductor element back side, be at least partially formed space, this fill gaps has filler, and this filler has the light refractive index n being less than 1.4.Here and hereafter, parameter n describes the real part of refractive index.
The present invention is based on the following understanding of applicant, between metal foil film and the back side of semiconductor element, form the reflection enhancement that space result in the long wave electromagnetic radiation in the wave-length coverage being greater than 1000nm.By the reflection of repeatedly additional light, the light path in semiconductor element increases, and then absorbing probability and solar battery efficiency also improve.
Physically, this is based on the higher refractive index contrast between semiconductor and metal level.This result according to fresnel formula the reduction of critical angle that internal reflection strengthens and occur inner total reflection.The latter is especially important in conjunction with the front of texture structure, because light is with the incident rear surface of solar cell in angle of inclination in the case.If incident angle is overleaf greater than total reflection angle, then almost reflects whole radiation between the transition part between semiconductor and dielectric material or semiconductor and the thinner filler of outward appearance, even must first lossy fashion do not reflected by metal mirror.
In the semiconductor back surface of coarse or texture structure, directly apply metal level by common method (as silk screen printing, sputtering or evaporation) and result in the metal back side be also structured.This is not generally significantly changed by the applying with the dielectric passivation layer being less than 100nm common thickness.As mentioned above, occurred in this application scenario, being regarded as parasitic absorption, this is because it is the absorption that cannot be used to solar cell in nanostructured metal.Describe a kind of method in the present invention, it reduces the loss in the back side of texture structure as far as possible, because this internal reflection is reinforced because there being space on the one hand, on the other hand, there is the planar metal face of the appropriate regulation of this paper tinsel film, thus parasitic metal absorbs and can be weakened as far as possible.
Another application of the invention field combines with the use of the diffraction structure on rear surface of solar cell.In order to form such diffraction structure, such as, on the semiconductor back surface of passivation, realize photo structure.Form diffraction structure itself at rear surface of solar cell to be known and such as in DE 10 2,009 042 018 A1, to have description.Be similar to above-mentioned situation, internal reflection is strengthened in the space here also by realizing being filled with such as air in this structure and metal foil film.Further, the metal foil film being arranged on dorsal part plays optical reflector effect and advantageously can strengthen internal reflection further.
And when metal level or dielectric layer by direct evaporation to structure on rear surface of solar cell time, this metal level is matched with this structure.May occur that very disadvantageous, consistent with this photo structure metal surface is modulated thus.Now, except described parasitic absorption, also occur that beam incident is to metal because of grid effect, this enhance described detrimental effect.This problem is avoided substantially by adopting metal foil film and forming the space rear surface of solar cell that metallizes.
Further positive effect is, when adopting described method, realized such as by the cell structure that amorphous silicon is formed realizing grid refractive index contrast (dielectric buffer layer be made up of oxide such as between photo structure and metal mirror) higher compared with known method.First this cause higher diffraction efficiency, strengthens interior light path thus and extend.And fleeting ripple that occur when adopting photo structure, that can not propagate in dielectric buffer layer by optimized attenuation, can weaken again parasitic absorption in a metal thus in space as far as possible.
Utilize method of the present invention, can so be metallized by rear surface of solar cell, namely between passivation layer and metal foil film, leave enough large space, the reflection enhancement to Incident beams is caused in this space.Passivation layer thickness can be realized thus significantly reduce.Because attempting thick forming passivation layer to realize the backside reflection strengthened by corresponding so far.But thicker passivation layer result in higher processing cost and longer process time.Another advantage of thinner passivation layer is, it is presented as the fainter obstruction to the conducting course of processing: must penetrate this passivation layer conducting to form conducting structure, contacts with the direct of semi-conducting material to set up.This is simpler in passivation layer thickness reduction situation.
Therefore, method of the present invention first time provide low cost, in the thin passivation layer situation of employing by the feasible program of semiconductor element back face metalization, not there is obvious loss in efficiency thus.Compared to known back face metalization method, the solar cell that its passivation layer thickness can be reduced to about 5nm can be produced.
In the scope of this specification, the space occurred at the semiconductor element back side is filled filler.
In a preferred embodiment, as filler, gas is adopted to be preferably air and/or inert gas, especially preferably rare gas.Obtain following advantage thus, the Packed space of this filling is with simple and the mode of low cost has the refractive index n being less than 1.4.
In another preferred embodiment, glue is used as filler.Obtain following advantage thus, space obtains stable and metal foil film is added fixing.Refractive index n now can be adopted to be less than the commercial usual glue of 1.4, such as, from the glue of the MY series of supplier Polytec PT Co., Ltd (Waldbronn), such as MY-132 or MY-133.
Within the scope of the invention, before method step A and/or B, apply other intermediate layer.
In an additional method step A-1 preferably before method step A, at least one intermediate layer is applied on the side of semiconductor element.This intermediate layer preferably dielectric layer.Obtain following advantage thus, intermediate layer can be configured to improve solar battery efficiency, particularly by formed with passivation layer form this intermediate layer using reduce Carrier recombination in semiconductor layer surface and/or by formed as optical layers this intermediate layer with the reflecting properties improving solar cell with so that light absorption.Therefore especially preferred, it is favourable for being formed intermediate layer with dielectric layer, the especially best form with silicon dioxide layer, silicon nitride layer or alumina layer.
Preferably in method step B by laser, especially preferably carry out this metal level of localized heating by pulse laser.The laser of preferred employing wavelength between 190nm to 11 μm in scope, especially preferably adopts wavelength to be the laser of 1064nm.Preferred employing pulse length between psec (ps) to 20 microseconds (μ s) in scope, the laser of especially preferably 10 to 300 nanoseconds (ns).The research of inventor shows, above-mentioned parameter allows the smooth and easy and flow process of not easily makeing mistakes.Adopt laser come localized heating and and then deposite metal paper tinsel film time advantageously, local melting can occur with high accuracy at any each position.
In a preferred embodiment, so carry out the metal foil film fusing in method step B, that is, this space is by the region deviding of metal foil film, the semiconductor element back side and fusing.Thus one, this space is sealed relative to environment.The region of this fusing is formed around this space at least partly.The region of this fusing advantageously extends along the outward flange of semiconductor element at least partly continuously.The connection appeared at because melting this metal foil film between metal foil film and semiconductor element meets the object relative to environmental sealing space between metal foil film and semiconductor element for this reason on the one hand.On the other hand, metal foil film is fixed on semiconductor element being scattered in the multiple regional areas on this semiconductor element back side.
Preferably carry out the electrical conductive communication of semiconductor layer at the position that metal foil film is locally melted, way is that metal foil film is connected with semiconductor layer conduction.This can realize in fusion process according to known mode itself, and especially in fusion process, the one or more intermediate layers between metal foil film and semiconductor layer can be penetrated by metal foil film in a simple manner decoupled.
