Definitions

  • the invention relates to a solar cell with an emitter layer which is applied to a base material and has a surface texture which is characterized by intersecting ribs which taper to the top, and to a method for producing such a rib .
  • Solar cells are components that convert sunlight or other light into electrical energy.
  • a solar cell consists of a semiconductor material that has a pn junction. Incident light creates positive and negative charge carriers in the semiconductor, which are separated by the pn junction. The electrical power generated in this way is removed via metallic contacts on the n and p sides.
  • the subject matter of this invention is limited to solar cells with a high efficiency of> 20%.
  • These electrical components also referred to as “high-efficiency” solar cells, are preferably made of silicon.
  • “High-efficiency” solar cells are characterized in particular by the fact that minimal losses occur in the conversion of light into electricity. This is made possible by applying various measures, which are described in detail by MA Green, "High-efficiency Silicon solar cells", TransTech Publications, Aedermannsdorf, Switzerland (1987), for example.
  • the structure of the "high-performance solar cell” known per se can be seen in FIG.
  • the PERL cell has a textured surface S which is coated with a silicon oxide layer Si0 2 for reasons of electrical passivation and the anti-reflective effect.
  • the emitter layer E Under the silicon oxide layer is the emitter layer E, which has areas of high n + + doping and normally doped n + doping areas.
  • the emitter layer is three-dimensionally formed by selective etching processes in such a way that its surface contour corresponds to the impression of many four-sided pyramids arranged next to one another. Only at points where the emitter layer comes into contact with a metal contact strip M is the emitter layer deeper and also provided with higher doping.
  • the typical shape of the characteristic surface texture of the emitter layer means that the light that has penetrated into the solar cell through the emitter layer penetrates into the cell with lower losses and, on the other hand, cannot so easily exit from the inside of the solar cell again. In addition to the anti-reflective effect of the top silicon oxide layer, this also contributes to the electrical passivation of the surface.
  • textured surface of the PERL cell is the two-stage n-doping of the emitter, which is highly doped under the contacts of the metal bridge and thus has low resistance and is also deeper than in the areas under the "inverted pyramids" on which the Emitter layer less doped and flatter.
  • base contact electrodes BE are provided on the back of the solar cell opposite the emitter layer.
  • Two photomask steps are necessary for the production of the PERL solar cell: an etching step, for producing the rib-like surface texture, and a local diffusion step, for introducing the depths n + + diffusion areas at locations over which the metal contact bridges are attached.
  • a third process step the surface contour of the solar cell is then covered with an all-over n + diffusion layer.
  • the invention is based on the object, starting from the known structure of a so-called PERL solar cell, to improve its properties so that, on the one hand, its production is simplified and, on the other hand, its efficiency is further improved.
  • the proportion of the area of the solar cell that is covered by contact elements and therefore cannot contribute to the light conversion should be significantly minimized.
  • the method according to the invention for producing a solar cell with an n-doped emitter layer, which has a lattice-like surface texture and is formed on a base material is to be carried out in such a way that, in a first method step, a highly doped n + + doping layer over the entire surface of a base material to be processed will be produced.
  • This n + + doping layer is preferably introduced into the upper region of the base material by diffusion of dopants.
  • a subsequent, selective etching process textures the n + + doping layer using an etching mask on its surface in such a way that a multiplicity of mutually intersecting, tapering ribs are formed, the upper sections of which the n + + -doped doping layer and the lower part of which consists of the base material (see FIG. 2).
  • the upper edges of the ribs are made of highly doped material, so that when viewed together, all crossing rib edges form a low-resistance grid on the top of the emitter layer, which covers the entire cell surface.
  • a particular advantage of this lattice-emitter structure according to the invention is that by placing a fine contact wire grid on the GE structure, for example, electrical contacting with the emitter of the solar cell is possible, the shading effects caused by the filigree design of the contact grid are reduced to a minimum.
  • the method according to the invention avoids the second, costly photomask step required in the conventional method, as a result of which the production costs can be considerably reduced.
  • the entire surface texture of the solar cell according to the invention can be doped with n + dopants.
  • a two-stage doped emitter is obtained which has areas of highest doping only below the edges of the ribs, while the depths of the ribs extend into the Doping decreases. This type of two-stage doping has a favorable influence on recombination in the emitter.
  • the geometrical design of the ribs can be influenced by the choice of the different geometries of the masks to be used during the etching process. Further details can be found in the following description of the figures.
  • the surface of a base material is doped with p + dopants. This is preferably done as part of diffusion doping.
  • the surface predoped in this way is then subsequently doped with n + + dopants.
  • the doping profile is to be selected such that the n-dopants penetrate less deeply into the base material than the p-dopants.
  • an etching mask is used to produce a desired surface texture in order to obtain a multiplicity of mutually crossing ribs that taper to the top.
  • the etching mask geometry is to be selected such that rib trains form higher in the outer surface area than inner rib trains surrounded by the outer ones, so that the upper sections of the higher rib trains are made of the n + -doped doping layer and the upper sections of the inner ribs consist of the p + -doped doping layer.
  • FIG. 1 shows a schematic, perspective illustration of a PERL solar cell
  • FIG. 2 shows schematic diagrams for comparing the production of the emitter of a PERL solar cell and a grid-emitter solar cell according to the invention
  • FIG. 2 shows a comparison of the emitter production using the PERL process known per se (left illustration) and according to the method according to the invention (right illustration).
  • the first step (uppermost Illustration on the left) first textured the surface of the base material using a suitable mask. Subsequently, likewise using a corresponding second mask, local diffusion is used to produce a highly doped n + + doping region En + + which extends deep into the base material and which later serves as a contact region to an external electrode contact. Finally, in a subsequent process step, the textured surface is n + -doped (En + ).
  • the base material is n ++ doped over the entire surface in a first step to produce the GE structure.
  • This is followed by an etching step using a suitable mask, in which the structuring shown in the middle illustration on the right side of FIG. 2 is generated. It is essential here that the etching depth between the individual ribs extends into the base material, so that highly doped n + + doping regions remain in each case under the pointed edges of each individual ribs. Whilst avoiding a second mask step according to the invention, doping over the entire surface can additionally be carried out, this time with n + dopants. In this way, a new type of emitter structure is obtained, in which the emitter area lies under the edges of the respective ribs.
  • the special feature of the GE structure is that the texturing is not only for the optical adaptation of the cell, but also for the structuring of the emitter and the Contacts can be used. This saves a time-consuming and costly photomask step compared to conventional structuring.
  • the GE structures according to the invention can be seen in a perspective representation without (see FIG. 3 a) and with (see FIG. 3 b) additional homogeneous n + doping.
  • an electrical contact G is applied to the top of the edges, so that an electrical contact that is as low as possible can be produced in this way.
  • the electrode G is preferably part of an electrode grid, as can be described in FIGS. 7 and 8, which only slightly shades the effective solar cell surface.
  • FIG. 4 shows doping profile options, the common feature of which is the production of a high dopant concentration in the region of the edges of the respective ribs, while the doping decreases in the depth of the edges.
  • This doping profile has a favorable influence on the recombination possibilities within the emitter.
  • the conductivity in the edge can be further improved by a double diffusion profile according to Figure 4 b.
  • the size and shape of the crossing ribs can be determined by the choice of suitable etching masks.
  • the mutual spacing of the individual inverse pyramids is determined by the width of the intermediate webs of the lattice-like mask, which is the same in every direction in the present case.
  • the mask example according to FIG. 5b likewise has square mesh fields, but the intermediate webs, which each intersect perpendicularly, are of different strengths. Because of the narrow design of the intermediate webs, which run horizontally, the shielding effects during the etching process are less, so that more material can be removed in the direction of the narrowly designed intermediate webs than in the orthogonal direction along the wider intermediate webs.
  • cross-sectional profiles are shown on the side of the mask grid, which represent the etching profile in the corresponding direction of the solar cell to be processed.
  • the mesh fields of the etching masks can also have a rectangular outline according to sub-figure 5c, if the emitter area and the emitter resistance should be larger in one direction than in the other. This creates larger trenches between individual ribs, which can be seen from the horizontal profile profile in sub-figure 5c. In this way, different conductivities can be formed in the vertical and horizontal direction within the emitter structure, which are determined by the ratio of the side lengths.
  • the GE diffusion profile In addition to influencing the width of the intermediate web of an etching mask on the height of the ribs that form, the GE diffusion profile must also be influenced. For example, using the mask according to FIG. 5b, a profile with a higher doping is created in the horizontal row than in the vertical row. The reason for this is the greater etching removal in the vertical row.
  • etching grating variants which are not intended to represent a conclusive list of possible mask geometries
  • a particular advantage of the GE structure according to the invention is the high doping at the upper regions of the ribbed lines which are formed, as a result of which an increased transverse conductivity is created, which not least leads to a reduction in the electrode contact surfaces which come into contact with the lattice structure leads.
  • grid fingers which represent individual electrical contact surfaces, can be used for contacting, as a result of which the shading losses are reduced and the technology can be considerably simplified.
  • the GE structure according to the invention is also suitable for the use of so-called screen-printed contact points.
  • the doping profiles in the ribs that form can be set in a targeted manner by deeper etching.
  • a highly doped “superlattice”, as has been described for production using FIG. 5d, can be produced in a lightly doped GE structure.
  • the base material is doped by double emitter diffusion, so that two doping profiles result, a highly doped region HD and a low-doped region LD.
  • the emitter structure according to FIG. 6b results after the etching process. It is important to note here that the upper part of the high ribs has areas of high doping, whereas the lower ribs have only areas of low doping at the upper edges.
  • an oxide layer 0 is preferably applied over the entire surface of the surface texture obtained (according to FIG. 6c) and is only removed locally at locations of the higher ribs until the edge area of the highly doped areas is exposed (see FIG. 6b).
  • galvanic contact elements are now applied at these points according to FIG. 6e, whereby a GE solar cell structure is created which can be optimized by very fine contacts for maximum efficiency.
  • An alternative embodiment of applying electrical contact points to the surface of the GE structure is, as already mentioned, the use of the finest wire grids according to FIG. 7.
  • the wire grid is preferably pressed onto the edges by pressing the wire under the influence of heat, ultrasound or a flux the ribs applied.
  • the advantage here is that the wire mesh, the dimensions of which are of the order of 20 ⁇ m wire diameter and 2000 ⁇ m mesh size, does not have to be adjusted to the GE structure, but, according to FIG. 8, can assume an arbitrary position relative to the rib pull orientation. This type of electrical contacting is therefore particularly suitable for automated production.
  • GE structures can also be applied analogously to the basic contact.
  • the base side of the solar cell opposite the emitter side is to be processed in the same way, only with a correspondingly reversed dopant concentration. ions.
  • the n-dopants have to be replaced by p-dopants.
  • GBSF back surface field grating
  • the entire rear side can then either be vapor-coated with aluminum over an oxide or have only a few electrical contact points such as the emitter side. In the latter case, a so-called bifacial solar cell is obtained, ie a solar cell that can be illuminated from both sides.

  • FIG. 9 shows a further novel variant of a surface-textured solar cell which has both the emitter and the base contacts on a single surface.
