Description

Selective emitter solar cell electrode and solar cell comprising same
Technical Field
The invention relates to a selective emitter solar cell electrode and a selective emitter solar cell comprising the same. More particularly, the present invention relates to a selective emitter solar cell electrode having excellent conversion efficiency by minimizing damage due to p-n junction, and a selective emitter solar cell including the same.
Background
The silicon solar cell is composed of a substrate including a p-type silicon semiconductor and an emitter layer including an n-type silicon semiconductor, and a p-n junction is formed between the p-type substrate and the n-type emitter layer. If sunlight is incident on the solar cell having the above structure, electrons are generated as a plurality of carriers on the emitter layer including the n-type silicon semiconductor and holes are generated as a plurality of carriers on the substrate including the p-type silicon semiconductor by means of the photovoltaic effect. Electrons and holes generated by the photovoltaic effect move to the front and rear electrodes joined to the upper portion of the emitter layer and the lower portion of the substrate, respectively, and if these electrodes are connected with a wire, a current flows.
For solar cells of this structure, the efficiency of the solar cell is influenced by the concentration of the dopant (dopant) doped to the emitter. For example, when the concentration of the dopant doped in the emitter is low, that is, when the emitter is formed of a low-concentration doped portion, the effect of increasing the short-circuit current density and the open-circuit voltage by reducing recombination of electrons and holes is obtained, but there is a disadvantage that the contact resistance is increased and the Fill Factor (FF) is reduced. On the contrary, when the concentration of the doped dopant is high, that is, when the emitter is formed of the high concentration doped portion, the effect of increasing the fill factor by reducing the contact resistance can be obtained, but there is a disadvantage of reducing the short-circuit current density and the open-circuit voltage.
Therefore, conventionally, when an emitter layer of a solar cell is formed, only a portion where an electrode is formed is selectively doped with a high concentration on an emitter doped with a low concentration, and thus a solar cell having a structure in which both advantages of a low-concentration doped portion and a high-concentration doped portion can be obtained, for example, a solar cell having a selective emitter structure (hereinafter, a selective emitter solar cell) has been developed.
