As described in the background art, when a back contact solar cell including a polysilicon layer in which N-type polysilicon and P-type polysilicon are combined is manufactured, an insulating region needs to be formed between the N-type polysilicon and the P-type polysilicon, and patterning is required for both the insulating region and the undoped polysilicon after resistance increase, which is very complicated, and even requires a high temperature process, so that the complexity is further increased, and the production efficiency of the solar cell is low.
In view of the above, the present application provides a method for manufacturing a solar cell, please refer to fig. 1, where fig. 1 is a flowchart of a method for manufacturing a solar cell according to an embodiment of the present application, and the method includes:
step S101: a diffusion layer is formed on the front surface of the silicon substrate.
Referring to fig. 2, a diffusion layer 2 is formed on the front surface of a silicon substrate 1.
The front surface of the silicon substrate is a surface facing the sun, and the back surface is a surface facing away from the sun.
It should be noted that, in the present embodiment, a method for forming the diffusion layer is not particularly limited, and may be determined as appropriate. For example, a thermal diffusion method, or an ion implantation method, or a laser doping method, or the like can be used.
Specifically, when a thermal diffusion method is adopted, diffusion layers are formed on the front surface and the back surface of the silicon substrate, and then an etching process is carried out to etch away the diffusion layer on the back surface and phosphorosilicate glass or borosilicate glass on the front surface; when an ion implantation method or a laser doping method is adopted, a diffusion layer is formed only on the front surface of the silicon substrate, and then an etching process is carried out to etch away phosphorosilicate glass or borosilicate glass on the front surface.
Optionally, wet etching may be used for the etching process, and a mixed acid solution of nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid, or a potassium hydroxide solution, or a sodium hydroxide solution may be used.

It will be appreciated that the first predetermined region is a localized region of the first-type doped layer and is not the entire region of the first-type doped layer. Similarly, the polarity of the first doped polysilicon region is the same as the polarity of the first type doped layer. The first polycrystalline silicon layer is composed of a first doped polycrystalline silicon region and a polycrystalline silicon region.

For example, the first type of doped layer may be silicon dioxide doped with a dopant, or borosilicate glass, or phosphosilicate glass, or a liquid phase dopant source containing a dopant, wherein the dopant may be phosphorus or boron.
Step S108: and heating a second preset region of the second type doped layer by adopting a laser heating mode, so that a second doped polysilicon region is formed in a region corresponding to the first polysilicon layer and the second preset region, and a second polysilicon layer is obtained, wherein the second polysilicon layer is provided with a polysilicon spacer region positioned between the first doped polysilicon region and the second doped polysilicon region.

It can be understood that the second predetermined region is a local region of the second-type doped layer, and a gap is left between the second doped polysilicon region and the first doped polysilicon region, where the gap is a polysilicon spacer, and the polysilicon spacer is undoped polysilicon. The second polysilicon layer is composed of a first doped polysilicon region, a second doped polysilicon region and a polysilicon region.
It will also be appreciated that since the second type doped layer is of opposite polarity to the first type doped layer, the second doped polysilicon region is of opposite polarity to the first doped polysilicon region.
Step S109: and removing the second-type doped layer.

Referring to fig. 10, an antireflection layer 10 is formed on the upper surface of the diffusion layer 2.
Specifically, the anti-reflection layer can be deposited by plasma chemical vapor deposition, but other methods, such as organic chemical vapor deposition, can also be used, and the anti-reflection layer has the dual functions of anti-reflection and passivation.
Step S112: and forming a metal electrode on the lower surface of the first passivation layer.
Referring to fig. 11, a metal electrode 11 is formed on the lower surface of the first passivation layer 9.
Specifically, a metal electrode is prepared by a screen printing method and is sintered, so that the metal electrode is burnt through the first passivation layer to be in contact with the second polysilicon layer.

Referring to fig. 12, fig. 12 is a flowchart of another method for manufacturing a solar cell according to an embodiment of the present disclosure, the method including:

It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the polarities of the first doped polysilicon region and the second doped polysilicon region are not specifically limited, as long as the polarities of the first doped polysilicon region and the second doped polysilicon region are opposite to each other. For example, when the first doped polysilicon region is an N-type doped region, the second doped polysilicon region is a P-type doped region; when the first doped polysilicon region is a P-type doped region, the second doped polysilicon region is an N-type doped region.
In an embodiment of the present application, the first passivation layer 9 is a silicon nitride layer, but the present application is not limited thereto specifically, and in other embodiments of the present application, the first passivation layer 9 may also be a stack of a silicon dioxide layer and a silicon nitride layer.

Preferably, in an embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the dielectric layer 3 ranges from 1 nm to 4 nm, inclusive.

Preferably, in an embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the second polysilicon layer 8 ranges from 50 nm to 300 nm, inclusive, if the thickness of the second polysilicon layer 8 is too small, the passivation effect of the stack of the second polysilicon layer 8 and the dielectric layer 3 on the surface of the silicon substrate 1 is poor, and the metal electrode 11 slurry is easily burnt through the second polysilicon layer 8 to contact the silicon substrate 1; if the thickness of the second polysilicon layer 8 is too large, a large recombination loss occurs when carriers are transported in the second polysilicon layer 8, thereby causing a reduction in the performance of the solar cell.
