技术领域Technical field
本申请涉及太阳能电池技术领域,特别是涉及太阳能电池及制备方法、光伏组件。This application relates to the technical field of solar cells, in particular to solar cells and preparation methods, and photovoltaic modules.
背景技术Background technique
太阳能电池作为一种清洁能源,具有广阔的应用前景。如何尽可能的提升太阳能电池的光电转换效率是目前的研究重点。As a clean energy source, solar cells have broad application prospects. How to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of solar cells as much as possible is the current research focus.
然而,现有的太阳能电池制备方法制备得到的太阳能电池,钝化性能和减反效果不佳,导致太阳能电池的光电转换效率较低。高效率、低成本是太阳能电池研究最重要的两个方向。对于晶体硅太阳能电池来说,随着晶体硅制造技术的提升,基体硅片的体载流子寿命不断提高,已经不再是制约电池效率提升的关键因素。而电池表面的钝化对转换效率的影响越来越明显。表面复合是指在硅片表面发生的复合过程,硅片中的少数载流子寿命在很大程度上受到硅片表面状态的影响,因为硅片表面有以下3个特点:(1)从硅晶体内延伸到表面的晶格结构在表面中断,表面原子出现悬挂键,排列到边缘的硅原子的电子不能组成共价键,因此出现了成为表面态的表面能级,表面态中靠近禁带中心的能级是有效的表面复合中心;(2)硅片在切片过程中表面留下的切割损伤,造成很多缺陷和晶格畸变,增加了更多的复合中心;(3)硅片表面吸附的带正、负电荷的外来杂质,也会成为复合中心。因此,无论是提高太阳能电池的转换效率,还是降低太阳能电池的生产成本,对于晶体硅太阳能电池表面钝化技术的研究都必不可少。However, the solar cells prepared by the existing solar cell preparation methods have poor passivation performance and anti-reflection effect, resulting in low photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cells. High efficiency and low cost are the two most important directions for solar cell research. For crystalline silicon solar cells, with the improvement of crystalline silicon manufacturing technology, the body carrier lifetime of the base silicon wafer continues to improve, and it is no longer a key factor restricting the improvement of cell efficiency. The passivation of the battery surface has an increasingly obvious impact on the conversion efficiency. Surface recombination refers to the recombination process that occurs on the surface of the silicon wafer. The minority carrier lifetime in the silicon wafer is greatly affected by the surface state of the silicon wafer, because the surface of the silicon wafer has the following three characteristics: (1) From silicon The lattice structure extending to the surface in the crystal is interrupted on the surface, and dangling bonds appear on the surface atoms. The electrons of the silicon atoms arranged to the edge cannot form covalent bonds, so a surface energy level appears as a surface state. The surface state is close to the forbidden band. The energy level in the center is an effective surface recombination center; (2) The cutting damage left on the surface of the silicon wafer during the slicing process causes many defects and lattice distortion, adding more recombination centers; (3) Silicon wafer surface adsorption Foreign impurities with positive and negative charges will also become recombination centers. Therefore, whether it is to improve the conversion efficiency of solar cells or reduce the production cost of solar cells, research on surface passivation technology of crystalline silicon solar cells is essential.

发明人发现,现有的太阳能电池的制备方法,特别是包含异质结结构的太阳能电池的制备方法,钝化效果欠佳的主要原因在于:包含异质结结构的太阳能电池中钝化层的材料选自非晶硅,由于钝化层中的非晶硅不耐高温,与钝化层紧邻的减反层被迫需要采用低温工艺制备。有人提出采用PECVD的方式来沉积减反层,PECVD的工艺温度在200-300℃之间,基本匹配非晶硅钝化层的低温工艺。但是这种方式沉积的减反层,在异质结太阳能电池的制程过程中,抗腐蚀性能差,导致对非晶硅的损伤比较严重,影响了太阳能电池的转换效率的提升,同时此结构的太阳能电池制程复杂,提升了太阳能电池的制造成本。发明人还发现,现有的太阳能电池中,减反效果不佳的主要原因在于:由于钝化层中的非晶硅不耐高温,与钝化层紧邻的减反层需要采用低温工艺制备,低温工艺制备的减反层均匀性较差,且通常不够致密,导致减反效果欠佳。同时,发明人还发现,现有的钝化层的材料多选自非晶硅,非晶硅对光的寄生吸收比较强,大幅度限制了太阳能电池的短路电流。The inventor found that the main reason for the poor passivation effect of existing solar cell preparation methods, especially the preparation method of solar cells containing heterojunction structures, is: the passivation layer in solar cells containing heterojunction structures. The material is selected from amorphous silicon. Since the amorphous silicon in the passivation layer is not resistant to high temperatures, the anti-reflection layer immediately adjacent to the passivation layer is forced to be prepared using a low-temperature process. Some people have proposed using PECVD to deposit the anti-reflection layer. The process temperature of PECVD is between 200-300°C, which basically matches the low-temperature process of amorphous silicon passivation layer. However, the anti-reflection layer deposited in this way has poor corrosion resistance during the manufacturing process of heterojunction solar cells, causing serious damage to amorphous silicon and affecting the improvement of the conversion efficiency of solar cells. At the same time, the structure of this structure The manufacturing process of solar cells is complex, which increases the manufacturing cost of solar cells. The inventor also found that the main reason for the poor anti-reflection effect in existing solar cells is that since the amorphous silicon in the passivation layer is not resistant to high temperatures, the anti-reflection layer immediately adjacent to the passivation layer needs to be prepared using a low-temperature process. The anti-reflection layer prepared by low-temperature process has poor uniformity and is usually not dense enough, resulting in poor anti-reflection effect. At the same time, the inventor also found that the existing passivation layer materials are mostly selected from amorphous silicon. Amorphous silicon has relatively strong parasitic absorption of light, which greatly limits the short-circuit current of solar cells.

The first passivation layer 2 formed by ALD has good uniformity, and the process It has good stability, low process difficulty and is easy to mass produce. For example, plasma enhanced atomic layer deposition (PEALD) is used to form the first passivation layer 2 .
可选的,上述步骤102可以包括:在大于或等于300℃的温度下,在第 一钝化层2远离硅基底1的一侧沉积第一减反层3,例如,可以采用等离子增强化学气象沉积(Plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition,PECVD)。在大于或300℃的温度下,沉积第一减反层3,形成的第一减反层3的致密性和均匀性均良好,进一步提升减反效果。同时,形成的第一减反层3的致密性和均匀性均良好,使得第一减反层3具有优良的抗腐蚀能力,第一减反层3能够对第一钝化层2起到良好的保护作用,进一步增强第一钝化层2的钝化效果。在大于或300℃的温度下,沉积第一减反层3,该沉积过程能够提供一定的氢钝化效果,进一步增强第一钝化层2的钝化效果。Optionally, the above step 102 may include: at a temperature greater than or equal to 300°C, at the A first antireflection layer 3 is deposited on a side of the passivation layer 2 away from the silicon substrate 1. For example, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) can be used. When the first anti-reflection layer 3 is deposited at a temperature greater than or equal to 300° C., the first anti-reflection layer 3 formed has good density and uniformity, further improving the anti-reflection effect. At the same time, the formed first anti-reflection layer 3 has good compactness and uniformity, so that the first anti-reflection layer 3 has excellent corrosion resistance, and the first anti-reflection layer 3 can play a good role in the first passivation layer 2 The protective effect further enhances the passivation effect of the first passivation layer 2. Depositing the first antireflection layer 3 at a temperature greater than or equal to 300° C. can provide a certain hydrogen passivation effect and further enhance the passivation effect of the first passivation layer 2 .
可选的,上述步骤102之后,该方法还可以包括:对形成有第一钝化层2、第一减反层3的硅基底1,进行退火,退火温度大于或等于300℃。退火能进一步提升第一减反层3的致密性和均匀性,进一步提升减反效果。同时,形成的第一减反层3的致密性和均匀性均良好,使得第一减反层3具有优良的抗腐蚀能力,第一减反层3能够对第一钝化层2起到良好的保护作用,进一步增强第一钝化层2的钝化效果。退火过程能够提供一定的氢钝化效果,进一步增强第一钝化层2的钝化效果。Optionally, after the above step 102, the method may also include: annealing the silicon substrate 1 on which the first passivation layer 2 and the first antireflection layer 3 are formed, and the annealing temperature is greater than or equal to 300°C. Annealing can further improve the density and uniformity of the first anti-reflection layer 3 and further improve the anti-reflection effect. At the same time, the formed first anti-reflection layer 3 has good compactness and uniformity, so that the first anti-reflection layer 3 has excellent corrosion resistance, and the first anti-reflection layer 3 can play a good role in the first passivation layer 2 The protective effect further enhances the passivation effect of the first passivation layer 2. The annealing process can provide a certain hydrogen passivation effect and further enhance the passivation effect of the first passivation layer 2 .
可选的,退火包括:氢气氛围退火(Forming Gas Anneal,FGA),和/或,快速热处理退火(Rapid temperature process,RTP),上述两种退火工艺成熟,易于实现,而且退火效果良好。经过上述方式的退火后,能进一步提升第一减反层3的致密性和均匀性,进一步提升减反效果,进一步提升抗腐蚀能力,第一减反层3能够对第一钝化层2起到良好的保护作用,进一步增强第一钝化层2的钝化效果。退火过程能够提供一定的氢钝化效果,进一步增强第一钝化层2的钝化效果。FGA的退火温度进一步优选,例如,FGA的最高温度可以300至600℃,退火时间可以为5至60min,退火可以在真空条件下进行。RTP的具体退火参数进一步优选,例如,RTP的最高温度可以500至1000℃,退火时间可以为10至150s。Optionally, annealing includes: hydrogen atmosphere annealing (Forming Gas Anneal, FGA), and/or rapid thermal treatment annealing (Rapid temperature process, RTP).

After annealing in the above manner, the density and uniformity of the first anti-reflection layer 3 can be further improved, the anti-reflection effect can be further improved, and the corrosion resistance can be further improved. The first anti-reflection layer 3 can act on the first passivation layer 2 It achieves a good protective effect and further enhances the passivation effect of the first passivation layer 2 . The annealing process can provide a certain hydrogen passivation effect and further enhance the passivation effect of the first passivation layer 2 . The annealing temperature of FGA is further preferred. For example, the maximum temperature of FGA can be 300 to 600°C, the annealing time can be 5 to 60 minutes, and the annealing can be performed under vacuum conditions. The specific annealing parameters of RTP are further preferred. For example, the maximum temperature of RTP can be 500 to 1000°C, and the annealing time can be 10 to 150s.
例如,若第一钝化层2的材料包括氧化铝(Al2O3),鉴于其良好的化学钝化效果和场钝化效果,本身具有良好的钝化性能,再通过在氧化铝薄膜上面覆盖氮化硅等第一减反层3后,可以保护氧化铝钝化膜的同时,提供相当的氢原子数量,进一步提高硅基底1表面的钝化效果。再经过诸如 FGA或者RTP的退火过程之后,第一减反层3中的氮化硅中的氢可以进一步向硅基底1表面,甚至是硅基底1体内移动,进而硅基底1表面的钝化效果得到改善的同时,硅基底1内的缺陷也能够得到很好的钝化。这个从有效少子寿命的数据上也可以看出来。在经过氧化铝材料的第一钝化层3的钝化后,有效少子寿命范围在300至600us左右,再经过氮化硅膜覆盖之后,少子寿命可以达到1ms以上,最后经过退火处理之后,硅基底1的有效少子寿命可以达到2ms以上。For example, if the material of the first passivation layer 2 includes aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ), in view of its good chemical passivation effect and field passivation effect, it itself has good passivation performance, and then it is passed on the aluminum oxide film. After covering the first anti-reflection layer 3 such as silicon nitride, the aluminum oxide passivation film can be protected while providing a considerable number of hydrogen atoms, further improving the passivation effect on the surface of the silicon substrate 1 . Then go through such as After the annealing process of FGA or RTP, the hydrogen in the silicon nitride in the first anti-reflection layer 3 can further move to the surface of the silicon substrate 1 or even into the body of the silicon substrate 1 , thereby improving the passivation effect on the surface of the silicon substrate 1 At the same time, defects in the silicon substrate 1 can also be well passivated. This can also be seen from the data on the effective minority carrier lifetime. After passivation by the first passivation layer 3 of aluminum oxide material, the effective minority carrier lifetime ranges from about 300 to 600us. After being covered with a silicon nitride film, the minority carrier lifetime can reach more than 1ms. Finally, after annealing, the silicon The effective minority carrier lifetime of substrate 1 can reach more than 2ms.
更为具体的,若第一钝化层2的材料包括氧化铝(Al2O3),采用ALD如PEALD形成第一钝化层,采用直接等离子体放电模式,即硅基底直接作为电极参与放电,而在放电过程中,由于电子速度远高于离子速度,便在电极附近形成等离子体鞘层,增大了该区域的电场,而且频率较低时,离子在电场方向变化前已经到达电极,对硅基底表面轰击,同时,通过退火处理,使AlOx沉积过程中形成的不稳定的Si-O键被破坏,进而,Si-AlOx界面处的四面体结构中的Al配位表现为净负电荷,针对P型硅基底,净负电荷使Si-AlOx界面能带弯曲,而且还阻止了少数载流子向背表面漂移,从而场钝化效果优异。More specifically, if the material of the first passivation layer 2 includes aluminum oxide (Al 2 O 3 ), ALD such as PEALD is used to form the first passivation layer, and a direct plasma discharge mode is used, that is, the silicon substrate directly serves as an electrode to participate in the discharge. , and during the discharge process, since the electron speed is much higher than the ion speed, a plasma sheath is formed near the electrode, which increases the electric field in this area. Moreover, when the frequency is low, the ions have reached the electrode before the direction of the electric field changes. Bombardment of the silicon substrate surface, and at the same time, through annealing treatment, the unstable Si-O bonds formed during the AlOx deposition process are destroyed. In turn, the Al coordination in the tetrahedral structure at the Si-AlOx interface appears as a net negative charge. , for the P-type silicon substrate, the net negative charge bends the Si-AlOx interface energy band, and also prevents minority carriers from drifting to the back surface, resulting in excellent field passivation effect.
可选的,上述步骤102之后,该方法还可以包括:在第一减反层3远离第一钝化层2的一侧形成保护该第一减反层的掩膜层。该掩膜层的厚度不作具体限定,例如,掩膜层的厚度可以为5至50nm,掩膜层的厚度在该范围内,掩膜效果和成本达到较优的平衡。然后在硅基底1的另一侧形成本征非晶硅钝化层4。其中,硅基底1的另一侧和前述的硅基底1的一侧相对分布。在本征非晶硅钝化层4上形成叉指分布的P型非晶硅层6、N型非晶硅层5。在P型非晶硅层6上形成透明导电层7和第一电极8,并在N型非晶硅层5上形成透明导电层7和第二电极9。掩膜层、本征非晶硅钝化层4、P型非晶硅层6等均可以通过沉积方式制备,例如,均可以通过PECVD方式制备得到。对于其他层或电极的制备方式,不作具体限定。Optionally, after the above step 102, the method may further include: forming a mask layer to protect the first anti-reflection layer 3 on a side of the first anti-reflection layer 3 away from the first passivation layer 2. The thickness of the mask layer is not specifically limited. For example, the thickness of the mask layer can be 5 to 50 nm. If the thickness of the mask layer is within this range, a better balance between masking effect and cost can be achieved. An intrinsic amorphous silicon passivation layer 4 is then formed on the other side of the silicon substrate 1 . Wherein, the other side of the silicon substrate 1 is distributed opposite to the aforementioned one side of the silicon substrate 1 . Interdigitally distributed P-type amorphous silicon layer 6 and N-type amorphous silicon layer 5 are formed on the intrinsic amorphous silicon passivation layer 4 . A transparent conductive layer 7 and a first electrode 8 are formed on the P-type amorphous silicon layer 6 , and a transparent conductive layer 7 and a second electrode 9 are formed on the N-type amorphous silicon layer 5 . The mask layer, intrinsic amorphous silicon passivation layer 4, P-type amorphous silicon layer 6, etc. can all be prepared by deposition, for example, they can all be prepared by PECVD. There are no specific limitations on the preparation methods of other layers or electrodes.
具体的,在形成保护该第一减反层的掩膜层之后,可以对硅基底1进行单面酸洗,清洗掉硅基底1另一侧可能自然形成的氧化硅。例如,可以采用HF进行酸洗,酸洗完毕后还可以对硅基底1另一侧进行清洗,确保硅基 底1另一侧的清洁度。在沉积完本征非晶硅钝化层4之后,可以在本征非晶硅钝化层4上先沉积整层的P型非晶硅层,然后在整层的P型非晶硅层上沉积氧化硅保护层,采用激光方式对氧化硅保护层进行图形化,或者,采用湿法化学的方式,对氧化硅保护层中图形化的区域进行腐蚀,实现对整层的P型非晶硅层的图形化。P型非晶硅层可以掺杂硼的非晶硅。该方法得到的太阳能电池的结构可以如图1所示,该太阳能电池包括硅基底1,依次层叠在硅基底1向光面的第一钝化层2、第一减反层3。层叠在硅基底1的背光侧的本征非晶硅钝化层4。本征非晶硅钝化层4上叉指状分布有P型非晶硅层6、N型非晶硅层5。相邻的P型非晶硅层6、N型非晶硅层5之间绝缘。例如,P型非晶硅层6、N型非晶硅层5之间可以通过激光开槽,使得两者之间绝缘。P型非晶硅层6和N型非晶硅层5上具有透明导电层7。位于透明导电层7上与P型非晶硅层6位置对应的第一电极8,以及与N型非晶硅层5位置对应的第二电极9。图1所示的太阳能电池,一方面,向光面的第一钝化层2和第一减反层3采用大于或等于300℃的工艺制备,进而在向光面形成了高质量的第一钝化层、优异的第一减反层,以及二者工艺和结构上的耦合,提升了抗腐蚀性和第一钝化层2的稳定性,为含有异质结结构的太阳能电池提供了效率贡献。另一方面,含有异质结结构背面设置,向光面的第一钝化层2和第一减反层3高温制备和背面异质结低温制备,从工艺上有效分开,保证了两段工艺各自的技术效果,从而实现太阳能电池向光面零栅线遮挡和优异的钝化效果,进而没有来自栅线遮挡导致的电流损失,具备高短路电流。同时,第一电极8和第二电极9均位于太阳能电池背光面,第一电极和第二电极的优化可以不受光学遮挡的限制,极大的减少第一电极和第二电极金属化带来的串联电阻增加。Specifically, after forming the mask layer to protect the first anti-reflection layer, the silicon substrate 1 can be pickled on one side to clean away the silicon oxide that may naturally form on the other side of the silicon substrate 1 . For example, HF can be used for pickling, and after the pickling is completed, the other side of the silicon substrate 1 can be cleaned to ensure that the silicon substrate Cleanliness on the other side of bottom 1. After depositing the intrinsic amorphous silicon passivation layer 4, a whole layer of P-type amorphous silicon layer can be deposited on the intrinsic amorphous silicon passivation layer 4, and then on the whole layer of P-type amorphous silicon layer Deposit a silicon oxide protective layer, use laser to pattern the silicon oxide protective layer, or use wet chemistry to etch the patterned areas of the silicon oxide protective layer to achieve the entire layer of P-type amorphous silicon. Layer graphics. The P-type amorphous silicon layer can be amorphous silicon doped with boron. The structure of the solar cell obtained by this method can be shown in Figure 1. The solar cell includes a silicon substrate 1, a first passivation layer 2 and a first anti-reflection layer 3 sequentially stacked on the light-facing side of the silicon substrate 1. An intrinsic amorphous silicon passivation layer 4 is stacked on the backlight side of the silicon substrate 1 . A P-type amorphous silicon layer 6 and an N-type amorphous silicon layer 5 are distributed interdigitally on the intrinsic amorphous silicon passivation layer 4 . The adjacent P-type amorphous silicon layer 6 and N-type amorphous silicon layer 5 are insulated from each other. For example, the P-type amorphous silicon layer 6 and the N-type amorphous silicon layer 5 can be grooved by laser to insulate them. There is a transparent conductive layer 7 on the P-type amorphous silicon layer 6 and the N-type amorphous silicon layer 5 . The first electrode 8 is located on the transparent conductive layer 7 corresponding to the position of the P-type amorphous silicon layer 6 , and the second electrode 9 is located corresponding to the position of the N-type amorphous silicon layer 5 . In the solar cell shown in Figure 1, on the one hand, the first passivation layer 2 and the first anti-reflection layer 3 on the light-facing side are prepared using a process of greater than or equal to 300°C, thereby forming a high-quality first passivation layer on the light-facing side. The passivation layer, the excellent first anti-reflection layer, and the process and structural coupling of the two improve the corrosion resistance and stability of the first passivation layer 2, providing efficiency for solar cells containing heterojunction structures. contribute. On the other hand, with a heterojunction structure on the back, the first passivation layer 2 and the first anti-reflection layer 3 on the light side are prepared at high temperature and the heterojunction on the back is prepared at low temperature, which is effectively separated from the process, ensuring a two-stage process. Their respective technical effects achieve zero grid line occlusion on the light surface of the solar cell and excellent passivation effect, thereby eliminating current loss caused by grid line occlusion and having high short-circuit current. At the same time, the first electrode 8 and the second electrode 9 are both located on the backlight surface of the solar cell. The optimization of the first electrode and the second electrode can not be restricted by optical occlusion, which greatly reduces the effects of metallization of the first electrode and the second electrode. The series resistance increases.

对比例1Comparative example 1
在硅基底1制绒后,在硅基底1的正面沉积一层氧化铝薄膜进行钝化,然后采用现有技术中在200℃下沉积氮化硅减反膜层。由于低温氮化硅膜层需要用板式PECVD设备进行沉积,设备成本高,同时,低温沉积的氮化硅膜层,与氧化铝薄膜叠加后的钝化效果会差于对应的高温氮化硅减反膜层,从而影响太阳能电池的效率。主要原因在于:低温氮化硅膜层的致密性和均匀性较差,导致低温氮化硅膜层的耐腐蚀性能差,会导致低温氮化硅膜层易被腐蚀,进而损伤钝化层。After the silicon substrate 1 is textured, an aluminum oxide film is deposited on the front side of the silicon substrate 1 for passivation, and then a silicon nitride antireflection film layer is deposited at 200° C. using the existing technology. Since the low-temperature silicon nitride film layer needs to be deposited with plate-type PECVD equipment, the equipment cost is high. At the same time, the passivation effect of the low-temperature deposited silicon nitride film layer and the aluminum oxide film will be worse than that of the corresponding high-temperature silicon nitride film layer. Reflective film layer, thus affecting the efficiency of solar cells. The main reason is that the low-temperature silicon nitride film layer has poor density and uniformity, resulting in poor corrosion resistance of the low-temperature silicon nitride film layer, which will cause the low-temperature silicon nitride film layer to be easily corroded, thereby damaging the passivation layer.
对比例2Comparative example 2
在硅基底1制绒后,正面钝化层采用非晶硅膜层进行钝化,非晶硅薄膜因为其较高的光学寄生吸收,会较大幅度影响电池的短路电流。同时由于非晶硅薄膜不耐高温的特性,导致正面的减反膜层(氮化硅)无法采用耐腐蚀性能强的高温工艺来完成,缩窄了太阳能电池的制备流程的工艺窗口,且低温的正面的减反膜层的致密性和均匀性较差,导致低温正面的减反膜层的耐腐蚀性能差,会导致低温正面的减反膜层易被腐蚀,进而损伤钝化层。After the silicon substrate 1 is textured, the front passivation layer is passivated with an amorphous silicon film layer. The amorphous silicon film will greatly affect the short-circuit current of the battery due to its high optical parasitic absorption. At the same time, because the amorphous silicon film is not resistant to high temperatures, the anti-reflective film layer (silicon nitride) on the front cannot be completed using a high-temperature process with strong corrosion resistance, which narrows the process window of the solar cell preparation process, and low-temperature The anti-reflection coating on the front side has poor density and uniformity, which results in poor corrosion resistance of the anti-reflection coating on the low-temperature front side. The anti-reflection coating on the low-temperature front side is easily corroded, thereby damaging the passivation layer.

Compared with the multi-layer silicon nitride film mentioned in the embodiment, and For the first anti-reflection layer 3 implemented by a stacked structure of multi-layer silicon nitride oxide film layers, the reflectivity will be significantly higher, resulting in less optical absorption and ultimately lower short-circuit current of the battery, affecting the conversion efficiency of the battery. The main reason is that in the front anti-reflection film layer of Comparative Example 3, the refractive index of each layer does not decrease in the direction away from the silicon substrate, resulting in poor matching between the layers.

通过上述对比可以看出,相对于对比例1至对比例3而言,实施例1至实施例3中的少子寿命明显较长,腐蚀速率明显较低,且减反效果较优,具体理由在于:实施例1至实施例3中在第一钝化层2的氧化铝薄膜上面覆盖氮化硅等第一减反层3后,可以保护氧化铝钝化膜的同时,提供相当的氢原子数量,进一步提高硅基底1表面的钝化效果。再经过FGA退火过程之后,第一减反层3中的氮化硅中的氢可以进一步向硅基底1表面,甚至是硅基底1体内移动,进而硅基底1表面的钝化效果得到改善的同时,硅基底1内的缺陷也能够得到很好的钝化。而且,上述材料的第一钝化层2对光的寄生性吸收较弱,且能够达到良好的化学钝化和场钝化效果。上述材料的第一减反层3具有良好的减反效果。而且,该第一钝化层2的材料能够承受高温,第一减反层3的制备工艺不用限定为经过了高温工艺,进而可以提升第一减反层3的致密性和均匀性,第一减反层3具有优良的抗腐蚀能力,进一步提升减反效果。It can be seen from the above comparison that compared with Comparative Examples 1 to 3, the minority carrier lifetime in Examples 1 to 3 is significantly longer, the corrosion rate is significantly lower, and the anti-reflection effect is better. The specific reasons are: : In Examples 1 to 3, after the aluminum oxide film of the first passivation layer 2 is covered with the first antireflection layer 3 such as silicon nitride, the aluminum oxide passivation film can be protected while providing a considerable number of hydrogen atoms. , further improving the passivation effect on the surface of the silicon substrate 1 .

Moreover, the first passivation layer 2 of the above material has weak parasitic absorption of light, and can achieve good chemical passivation and field passivation effects.
