Detailed Description
The paste composition for solar cells of the present application will be described in detail below. In the present specification, unless otherwise specified, the range indicated by "to" means "above and below".
The paste composition for solar cells of the present application can be used for forming an electrode of a crystalline solar cell, for example. The crystalline solar cell is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include PERC (Passivated emitter and rear cell) type high conversion efficiency cells (hereinafter referred to as "PERC type solar cell"). The paste composition for solar cells of the present application can be used, for example, to form a back electrode of a PERC solar cell. Hereinafter, the paste composition of the present application is also abbreviated as "paste composition".
First, an example of the structure of a PERC type solar cell will be described.
PERC type solar cell unit
Fig. 1 (a) and (b) are schematic diagrams showing a general cross-sectional structure of a PERC type solar cell. The PERC type solar cell can include a silicon semiconductor substrate 1, an n-type impurity layer 2, an antireflection film 3, a gate electrode 4, an electrode layer (back electrode layer) 5, an alloy layer 6, and a p + Layer 7 serves as a constituent element.
The silicon semiconductor substrate 1 is not particularly limited, and for example, a p-type silicon substrate having a thickness of 180 to 250 μm can be used.
The n-type impurity layer 2 is provided on the light-receiving surface side of the silicon semiconductor substrate 1. The thickness of the n-type impurity layer 2 is, for example, 0.3 to 0.6 μm.
The antireflection film 3 and the gate electrode 4 are provided on the surface of the n-type impurity layer 2. The antireflection film 3 is formed of, for example, a silicon nitride film, and is also called a passivation film. The antireflection film 3 functions as a so-called passivation film, and thus can suppress recombination of electrons on the surface of the silicon semiconductor substrate 1, and as a result, the recombination rate of generated carriers can be reduced. This can improve the conversion efficiency of the PERC solar cell.
The antireflection film (passivation film) 3 may be provided on the back surface side of the silicon semiconductor substrate 1, that is, on the surface opposite to the light receiving surface. Further, a contact hole (opening) formed so as to penetrate the anti-reflective coating (passivation film) 3 on the back surface side and cut a part of the back surface of the silicon semiconductor substrate 1 is formed on the back surface side of the silicon semiconductor substrate 1. The method of forming the contact hole is not limited, and a method using so-called LCO (laser contact opening ) having an opening portion by laser irradiation or the like is generally used.
The electrode layer 5 is formed so as to be in contact with the silicon semiconductor substrate 1 through the contact hole. The electrode layer 5 is a member formed of the paste composition of the present application, and is formed in a predetermined pattern shape. The electrode layer 5 may be formed so as to cover the entire rear surface of the PERC solar cell as shown in the embodiment of fig. 1 (a), or may be formed so as to cover the contact hole and the vicinity thereof as shown in the embodiment of fig. 1 (b). Since the main component of the electrode layer 5 is aluminum, the electrode layer 5 is an aluminum electrode layer.
The electrode layer 5 can be formed, for example, by applying a paste composition in a predetermined pattern shape and firing the paste composition. The coating method is not particularly limited, and examples thereof include known methods such as screen printing. After the paste composition is applied and dried as needed, the electrode layer 5 can be formed by, for example, firing at a temperature exceeding the melting point of aluminum (about 660 ℃) for a short period of time.
In the present application, the firing temperature is not particularly limited as long as it exceeds the melting point of aluminum (about 660 ℃), but is preferably about 750 to 950 ℃, and more preferably about 780 to 900 ℃. The firing time can be appropriately set in accordance with the firing temperature within a range where the desired electrode layer 5 can be formed.
When firing is performed in this manner, aluminum contained in the paste composition diffuses into the silicon semiconductor substrate 1. Thereby, an aluminum-silicon (al—si) alloy layer (alloy layer 6) is formed between the electrode layer 5 and the silicon semiconductor substrate 1, and at the same time, p as an impurity layer is formed by diffusion of aluminum atoms + Layer 7.
P + The layer 7 can bring about an effect of preventing recombination of electrons and improving collection efficiency of generated carriers, that is, a so-called BSF (back surface field ) effect.
The electrode formed by the electrode layer 5 and the alloy layer 6 is a back electrode 8 shown in fig. 1. Therefore, the back electrode 8 is formed using a paste composition, and for example, the back electrode 8 can be formed by applying the paste composition so as to cover the contact hole 9 (opening) of the antireflection film (passivation film) 3 provided on the back surface side, drying the paste composition as necessary, and then firing the paste composition. Here, by forming the back electrode 8 using the paste composition of the present application, high conversion efficiency can be obtained in the solar cell unit. Further, since the paste composition of the present application can suppress the viscosity change (thickening) with time, it has good coatability (printability) even when a certain time has elapsed from the start of preparation.
2. Paste composition
The paste composition of the application is a paste composition for solar cells containing aluminum powder, an organic carrier and a glass fritThe glass frit comprises 50 to 90 mol% of Sb 2 O 3
As described above, by using the paste composition, the back electrode of a solar cell such as a PERC solar cell can be formed. That is, the paste composition of the present application can be used for forming a back electrode for a solar cell, which is electrically contacted with a silicon substrate through an opening (contact hole) provided in a passivation film formed on the silicon substrate. Further, according to the paste composition of the present application, in a crystalline solar cell (particularly, a PERC solar cell), high conversion efficiency can be obtained, and at the same time, the structure of the frit is stable, and the viscosity change (thickening) with time can be suppressed.
The paste composition contains aluminum powder, an organic vehicle and a glass frit as constituent components. Further, by including aluminum powder (conductive material) in the paste composition, the sintered body formed by firing the coating film of the paste composition can exhibit conductivity for electrical connection with the silicon substrate.
(aluminum powder)
The aluminum powder contained in the paste composition exhibits conductivity in the aluminum electrode layer formed by firing the paste composition. Further, the aluminum powder is formed by forming the aluminum-silicon alloy layer 6 and p between the aluminum-silicon alloy layer and the silicon semiconductor substrate 1 at the time of firing the paste composition + Layer 7 achieves the BSF effect.
The shape of the aluminum powder is not particularly limited, and may be any of spherical, elliptical, amorphous, scaly, fibrous, and the like. If the aluminum powder is spherical in shape, the electrode layer 5 formed of the paste composition has an increased filling property of the aluminum powder, and the electric resistance can be effectively reduced.
Further, when the shape of the aluminum powder is spherical, in the electrode layer 5 formed of the paste composition, the contact point of the silicon semiconductor substrate 1 and the aluminum powder increases, and thus a good BSF layer is easily formed. When the aluminum powder is spherical in shape, the average particle diameter measured by a laser diffraction method is preferably in the range of 1 to 10 μm.
The aluminum powder may be composed of only high-purity aluminum or may contain an aluminum alloy. For example, aluminum alloys include aluminum-silicon alloys, aluminum-boron alloys, and the like.
In the present application, the aluminum powder contains an aluminum-silicon alloy, and the silicon content in the aluminum powder is preferably 10 to 25 at%. The silicon content is more preferably 15 to 22 atomic%. By using such aluminum powder, adhesion to the silicon semiconductor substrate 1 is further improved.
In addition, when the aluminum powder is composed of only high-purity aluminum and is an aluminum alloy, the presence of unavoidable impurities and trace amounts of additive elements derived from the raw materials is not excluded.
(organic Carrier)
As the organic vehicle, a material in which various additives and resins are dissolved in a solvent as needed can be used. Alternatively, the resin may be used as the organic vehicle without containing a solvent.
The solvent may be any known solvent, and specific examples thereof include diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate, dipropylene glycol monomethyl ether, and the like.
As the various additives, for example, antioxidants, anticorrosive agents, antifoaming agents, thickening agents, adhesion promoters (tackifiers), coupling agents, static electricity imparting agents, polymerization inhibitors, thixotropic agents, anti-settling agents, and the like can be used. Specifically, for example, polyethylene glycol ester compounds, polyethylene glycol ether compounds, polyoxyethylene sorbitan ester compounds, sorbitan alkyl ester compounds, aliphatic polycarboxylic acid compounds, phosphoric acid ester compounds, amide amine (amid) salts of polyester acids, oxidized polyethylene compounds, fatty acid amide waxes, and the like can be used.
As the resin, a known resin may be used, and two or more of ethylcellulose, nitrocellulose, polyvinyl butyral, a phenol resin, a melamine resin, a urea resin, a xylene resin, an alkyd resin, an unsaturated polyester resin, an acrylic resin, a polyimide resin, a furan resin, a polyurethane resin, a thermosetting resin such as an isocyanate compound and a cyanate ester compound, polyethylene, polypropylene, polystyrene, an ABS resin, polymethyl methacrylate, polyvinyl chloride, polyvinylidene chloride, polyvinyl acetate, polyvinyl alcohol, polyacetal, polycarbonate, polyethylene terephthalate, polybutylene terephthalate, polyphenylene oxide, polysulfone, polyimide, polyether sulfone, polyarylate, polyether ether ketone, polytetrafluoroethylene, a silicone resin, and the like may be used in combination.
The proportions of the resin, the solvent, and the various additives contained in the organic vehicle can be arbitrarily adjusted, and for example, the proportions of the components can be the same as those of the known organic vehicle.
The content of the organic carrier is not particularly limited, and is preferably 20 to 45 parts by mass, particularly preferably 30 to 35 parts by mass, relative to 100 parts by mass of the aluminum powder, for example, from the viewpoint of having good printability.
(glass frit)
The glass frit is considered to have an effect of contributing to the reaction of aluminum powder with silicon and the sintering of aluminum powder itself.
In the paste composition of the present application, the glass frit (100 mol%) contains 50 to 90 mol% of Sb 2 O 3 . By using this frit, the viscosity change (thickening) of the paste composition with time can be suppressed, and thus the paste composition has good coatability (printability) even when a certain period of time has elapsed from the start of production. Sb in glass frit 2 O 3 The content is preferably 50 to 90 mol%, and, among them, 52 to 70mol%, the structure of the frit is particularly stable, and the viscosity change (thickening) with time can be suppressed. In addition, when Sb 2 O 3 When the content is less than 50 mol%, the conversion efficiency (Eff) of the solar cell unit may be lowered, and the paste composition may be thickened to 5pa·s or more with time. In addition, when Sb 2 O 3 If the content is more than 90 mol%, vitrification is difficult, and the electrode material may not be used. In addition, when Sb 2 O 3 When the content is more than 70mol% and not more than 90 mol%, the composition of the frit may be lowered within a permissible range of practical use due to a difference in temperature or pressure or manufacturing conditions of the frit, although the composition can be used as an electrode material.
The glass frit preferably further contains SiO 2 And/or B 2 O 3 As a means for removing Sb 2 O 3 The remainder of the process. As the glass frit, it is expected to be made of Sb 2 O 3 -B 2 O 3 2 components of (2), or Sb 2 O 3 -B 2 O 3 -SiO 2 Any one of the 3 components of (a) is constituted, but other components may be further contained within a range not affecting the effect of the present application. Removing Sb 2 O 3 The content of the components other than B is not limited 2 O 3 The content of (2) is preferably 30 to 40 mol%, more preferably 30 to 36 mol%. SiO (SiO) 2 The content of (2) is preferably 0 to 14 mol%, more preferably 0 to 5 mol%. As additive of SiO 2 The lower limit of the content is preferably 1 mol%.
The content of the glass frit is not particularly limited, and is preferably 0.5 to 5.0 parts by mass per 100 parts by mass of the aluminum powder, for example. At this time, the adhesion to the silicon semiconductor substrate 1 and the antireflection film 3 (passivation film) is good, and the electric resistance is not easily increased.
As described above, the paste composition of the present application is particularly preferably composed of: the glass frit comprises 30 to 35 parts by mass of an organic vehicle and 0.5 to 5.0 parts by mass of glass frit per 100 parts by mass of aluminum powder. By setting the range to this, high conversion efficiency can be obtained, and the structure of the frit is stable, and the viscosity change (thickening) with time can be suppressed.
The paste composition of the present application is suitable for forming an electrode layer of a solar cell (particularly, a rear electrode 8 of a PERC solar cell as shown in fig. 1), for example. Thus, the paste composition of the present application can also be used as a solar cell back electrode forming agent.
