Fig. 1 is a flowchart illustrating steps of a method for manufacturing a solar cell according to an embodiment of the present invention, where the method may include:
In the embodiment of the invention, the solar cell is a TOPCON cell, and generally the preparation route of the TOPCPN cell is to perform texturing treatment on a P-type region to form a boron emitter, perform aluminum oxide passivation, form a silicon nitride, silicon oxynitride or other heterogeneous film layers, and print a metal electrode to form a TOPCON front structure; and polishing or texturing the N-type region, doping poly (polycrystalline) silicon, passivating silicon nitride, and printing a metal electrode to form a TOPCON back structure. However, an additional preparation process is introduced for passivating the boron emitter by using aluminum oxide, and aluminum oxide is unstable and easily polluted by air, needs to be protected by preparing other optical films in a short time, and needs to effectively clean the surface of a silicon wafer, so that the problems of complex preparation process, high preparation difficulty and low efficiency are caused.
In the embodiment of the invention, in the preparation process of the TOPCON battery, boron diffusion treatment is firstly carried out on a silicon substrate to form an emitter and a borosilicate glass layer which are sequentially stacked, wherein the front surface of the silicon substrate is of a textured structure, and can be field surface texturing treatment or a silicon substrate with a textured structure prepared in advance, in addition, a liquid boron source or a solid boron source can be adopted for phosphorus diffusion treatment, boron atoms can be firstly deposited on the surface of the silicon substrate in the boron diffusion process, and then propulsion and oxidation are carried out, so that the emitter and the borosilicate glass layer are sequentially formed on the front surface of the silicon substrate from inside to outside. Alternatively, the boron diffusion treatment may be implemented by a furnace tube thermal diffusion process, or may be implemented by a spin coating process, which is not particularly limited in this embodiment of the present invention.
And 102, performing partial removal treatment on the borosilicate glass layer, and reserving the borosilicate glass layer with a preset thickness.
In the embodiment of the invention, partial removal treatment can be carried out on the outer borosilicate glass layer formed in boron diffusion, so that the borosilicate glass layer with the preset thickness is reserved for passivating the boron emitter, and optionally, the reserved thickness can be controlled to be the preset thickness by controlling the cleaning time when the borosilicate glass layer is removed, wherein the borosilicate glass layer has certain hydrophilicity, so that the existence of the borosilicate glass layer can be qualitatively judged by a hydrophilicity test.
In the embodiment of the invention, a relation model of the borosilicate glass layer degree and the minority carrier lifetime of the silicon substrate can be constructed in advance, so that the preset thickness of the borosilicate glass layer can be determined according to the model, for example, a high resistivity silicon wafer with the size of 158.75mm multiplied by 158.75mm and the resistivity of 5-30 omega cm can be selected, double-sided boron diffusion is carried out after texturing, partial borosilicate glass layer is removed by hydrofluoric acid, then residual acid is removed by water washing (the volume composition is 80-150L of hot water, 150L of normal temperature water, 230L of hydrofluoric acid, 1L-5L of hydrofluoric acid, wherein the temperature of the hot water can be 40-80 ℃, the temperature of the normal temperature water can be 20 ℃), the borosilicate glass layers with different preset thicknesses of M1, M2 and M3 are obtained by respectively adopting the cleaning time of the hydrofluoric acid of T1, T2 and T3, then silicon nitride or other symmetrical optical films are respectively manufactured on two sides, for example, a first silicon nitride layer is firstly prepared on two sides, the thickness of the silicon wafer is 10-30 nm, the refractive index of the silicon wafer is 2.1-2.3, a second silicon nitride layer is prepared on two sides, the thickness of the silicon nitride layer is 30-50 nm, the refractive index of the silicon wafer is 2.05-2.15, a silicon oxide layer is prepared on two sides, the thickness of the silicon oxide layer is 35-55nm, the silicon wafer is sintered after the sintering is completed, the minority carrier lifetime T of the silicon wafer with different preset thicknesses M1, M2 and M3 is tested, namely the time from generation to disappearance of minority carriers in the silicon wafer is tested, the cleaning time T1, T2 and T3 and the corresponding preset thicknesses M1, M2 and M3 are used as a reference, the cleaning time is gradually reduced in a gradient mode, and therefore a group with the highest minority carrier lifetime is determined and used as a borosilicate glass layer to determine the reserved preset thickness.
And 103, reacting the borosilicate glass layer with the preset thickness at a preset activation temperature for a preset activation time to form a first passivation layer.
In the embodiment of the invention, the borosilicate glass layer with the preset thickness can react for the preset activation time at the preset activation temperature, and the borosilicate glass layer with the preset thickness breaks unstable boron-hydrogen bonds in advance in a high-temperature environment when being sintered at the preset activation temperature, so that the hydrogen passivation capability is improved. In addition, the borosilicate glass layer is in a coexisting state of boron atoms and silicon oxide, is a doped dielectric layer, has conductive activity, and can improve the contact capacity of the silicon substrate and the metal electrode, so that a good passivation structure can be formed.
And 104, forming a passivation contact structure on the back surface of the silicon substrate.
In the embodiment of the invention, based on the characteristics of the TOPCON cell, a passivation contact structure may be formed on the back surface of the silicon substrate, or alternatively, a tunneling structure may be formed on the back surface of the silicon substrate, then poly silicon is deposited, and then phosphorus doping is performed on the poly silicon to form a phosphorus-doped dielectric layer, so as to form a passivation contact structure on the back surface of the silicon substrate.
And 105, respectively preparing a passivation structure and an electrode structure on the passivation contact structure and one side of the first passivation layer far away from the silicon substrate in sequence to form the solar cell.
