正如背景技术中提到的,全背接触电池最大的特点是发射极和金属接触都处于电池的背面,但也正是因为其PN结和电极均在背部,将会导致电池内部,尤其是在正面产生的光生载流子需要传输一整个硅片的厚度才能被分离收集起来,然而,目前全背接触太阳能电池中的背面钝化层易导致转换效率降低。
本公开的申请人为了解决上述技术问题,提出一种太阳能结构,如图1所示,该结构包括半导体衬底1、第一重掺杂区5、第二重掺杂区7、第一钝化层9、第二钝化层10,其中,半导体衬底1的背面形成有第一掺杂区4和第二掺杂区6;第一重掺杂区5形成于半导体衬底1中,且第一重掺杂区5接触设置于第一掺杂区4远离背面的一侧,第一重掺杂区5与第一掺杂区4均为P型掺杂,且第一重掺杂区5的掺杂浓度大于第一掺杂区4的掺杂浓度;第二重掺杂区7形成于半导体衬底1中,且第二重掺杂区7接触设置于第二掺杂区6远离背面的一侧,第二重掺杂区7与第二掺杂区6均为N型掺杂,且第二重掺杂区7的掺杂浓度大于第二掺杂区6的掺杂浓度;第一钝化层9形成于第一掺杂区4远离第一重掺杂区5的一侧,第一钝化层9具有固定负电荷;第二钝化层10至少形成于第二掺杂区6远离第二重掺杂区7的一侧,第二钝化层10具有固定正电荷。
上述结构中,由于对应第一掺杂区4和第二掺杂区6分别接触设置了第一重掺杂区5和第二重掺杂区7,其第一重掺杂区5的掺杂浓度大于第一掺杂区4的掺杂浓度,第二重掺杂区7的掺杂浓度大于第二掺杂区6的掺杂浓度,这种设置增强了器件的欧姆接触,降低了器件中船串联电阻的阻值,进而减少了载流子的复合速率,能够提高短路电流,从而有利于提升太阳能电池的转换功率。
上述结构中,还由于设置了第一钝化层9和第二钝化层10,分别对第一掺杂区4和第二掺杂区6实现了分区钝化,其中,第一钝化层9中带有大量的负电荷,第二钝化层10中带有大量的正电荷,能够避免目前常规钝化方式中,带负电荷的氧化铝钝化层在N区形成一个反 型层,不利于电子收集的现象,从而提高了光生载流子的收集速率,起到优异的场钝化效果,进而提高了太阳能电池结构的转换效率。
在一些可实施的方式中,上述半导体衬底1的背面具有凹槽,第一掺杂区4形成于背面中与凹槽对应的区域,第二掺杂区6形成于背面中位于凹槽两侧的区域,第一钝化层9形成于凹槽中,优选凹槽深度为10μm~100μm。由于全背接触太阳能电池中的P区和N区呈叉指状间隔排列在电池内部,容易发生电池漏电的现象,本实施例中通过开设凹槽,将P区与N区利用高度差的形成物理隔离,从而避免漏电的产生。
在一些可选的实施方式中,上述半导体衬底1为硅衬底,由于全背接触太阳能电池的PN结的位置处于电池背面,而光生载流子主要是在电池的前表面产生,其需要穿过具有一定厚度的半导体衬底1到达背面发射极。为了减少期间光生载流子的复合,就需要衬底具有较长的少子扩散长度,因此制备高效全背接触太阳能电池采用高质量的单晶硅片。
其中,该半导体衬底1的衬底硅片既可以是P型硅片,也可以是N型硅片。选用不同类型的衬底硅片后,其在电池的掺杂上会有所不同。如果选用N型硅片,则在电池背面一定区域硼掺杂形成P +区,作为发射极。如果选用P型硅片,则电池背面一定区域进行磷掺杂形成N +区,作为发射极,与硅片基底形成PN结。相对P型硅片,N型硅片具有少子寿命高、无光衰、弱光性能好等优点,但P型硅片在成本端具备优势。
在一些可选的实施方式中,上述第二钝化层10中的一部分形成于第二掺杂区6远离第二重掺杂区7的一侧,第二钝化层10中的另一部分形成于第一钝化层9远离第一掺杂区4的一侧。其中,第二掺杂区6为N型掺杂,形成于第二掺杂区6远离第二重掺杂区7一侧的一部分第二钝化层10由于第二钝化层10具有较高固定正电荷密度,能够通过屏蔽N型掺杂区表面的少子电子而表现出显著的场效应钝化特性,形成于第一钝化层9远离第一掺杂区4的一侧的另一部分第二钝化层10,也由于在第一掺杂区4和第二钝化层10之间具有第一钝化层9,避免了带正电荷的第二钝化层10在P区形成一个反型层,不利于电子收集的现象,从而提高了光生载流子的收集速率,起到优异的场钝化效果,进而提高了太阳能电池结构的转换效率。
在一些可选的实施方式中,上述太阳能电池结构中第一掺杂区4和第二掺杂区6的掺杂浓度独自地选自10 18cm -3~10 20cm -3,第一重掺杂区5和第二重掺杂区7的掺杂浓度独立地选自10 20cm -3~10 22cm -3。通过设置第一重掺杂区5的浓度高于第一掺杂区4,第二重掺杂区7的掺杂浓度高于第二掺杂区6的浓度,增强了器件的欧姆接触,降低了器件中串联电阻的阻值,进而减少了载流子的复合速率,能够提高短路电流,从而有利于提升太阳能电池的转换功率。
在一些可选的实施方式中,如图2所示,第一掺杂区4和第二掺杂区6为多晶硅掺杂结构,该太阳能电池结构还包括隧穿氧化层13,该隧穿氧化层13覆盖于多晶硅掺杂结构的远离第一钝化层9和第二钝化层10的一侧表面,优选隧穿氧化层13的厚度为1nm~2nm。上述多晶硅掺杂结构和隧穿氧化层13共同构成太阳能电池的背面钝化接触结构,这种结构使得太阳能电池具有更低的载流子复合率,更好的接触,从而获得更高的转化效率。
示例性的,上述第一掺杂区4为硼掺杂多晶硅41,上述第二掺杂区6为磷掺杂多晶硅61,如图2所示。
其中,隧穿氧化层13可以为氧化硅层,其可以使多数载流子隧穿进入多晶硅掺杂结构同时阻挡少数载流子复合,超薄氧化硅和重掺杂区良好的钝化效果使得硅片表面能带产生弯曲,从而形成场钝化效果,电子隧穿的几率大幅增加,接触电阻下降,提升了电池的开路电压和短路电流,从而提升电池转化效率。

在另一些可实施的方式中,上述太阳能电池结构还包括正面浮动结(图中未示出),该正面浮动结形成于半导体衬底1的正面,该半导体衬底1为掺杂衬底,正面浮动结与掺杂衬底的掺杂类型相反。
其中,上述正面浮动结的掺杂浓度大于半导体衬底1的掺杂浓度,利用正面浮动结与半导体衬底1的高低浓度差,起到辅助分离载流子的功能,从而增强载流子收集效率。

在一些可实施的方式中,上述半导体衬底为硅衬底,对上述硅衬底的硅片表面进行制绒处理,以去除硅片表面的损伤层,减少硅片表面复合中心,同时在硅片表面形成绒面,该绒面可以增加太阳光的吸收减少反射,从而提高短路电流,有利于提升太阳能电池的转换效率。
其中,上述半导体硅衬底可以为N型硅衬底,也可以为P型硅衬底。
在一些可选的实施方式中,上述半导体衬底的电阻率为0.3Ω·cm~3Ω·cm。
在一些可选的实施方式中,上述半导体衬底的厚度为150μm~180μm。
在一些可选的实施方式中,对上述硅衬底进行背抛光工艺,硅片背抛光后,利用镜面反射原理,光的背面反射率增加,透射损失减小,从而增加了输出电流。同时由于抛光后背面的比表面积较少,使得背表面复合速率减小,硅片少子寿命显著提升。
在一些可选的实施方式中,在上述半导体衬底的背面沉积本征多晶硅材料,并分别对多晶硅材料进行N型离子扩散和P型离子扩散,以形成第一掺杂区和第二掺杂区;或分别采用N型离子和P型离子对半导体衬底的背面进行原位掺杂,以形成第一掺杂区和第二掺杂区,其中,半导体衬底为多晶硅衬底。
在一些可选的实施方式中,分别形成掺硼的第一掺杂区和掺磷的第二掺杂区,且上述第一掺杂区和第二掺杂区为交叉排列在半导体衬底背面区域,进一步可选的,上述第一掺杂区和第二掺杂区的有效掺杂浓度为10 18cm -3~10 20cm -3,相应第一掺杂区和第二掺杂区的宽度为400μm~2000μm,在该实施例中,能有效降低载流子扩散过程中的复合损失,从而提高太阳能电池的转换效率。
其中,上述第一掺杂区和第二掺杂区的掺杂厚度均为60nm~200nm,且第一掺杂区和第二掺杂区均可通过低压化学气相沉积(LPCVD)、等离子体增强化学气相沉积法(PECVD)、物理气相沉积(PVD)、常压化学气相沉积(APCVD)等方式形成。
在一些可选的实施方式中,上述第一掺杂区和第二掺杂区采用丝网印刷+热推进的方式形成。即用丝网印刷的方式在第一掺杂区印刷含硼浆料,在第二掺杂区印刷含磷浆料,随后在高温条件下,里面的硼原子和磷原子推进至半导体硅衬底中形成第一掺杂区和第二掺杂区。
在一些可选的实施方式中,上述第一掺杂区和第二掺杂区采用掩膜板+两次离子注入的方式形成。即用掩膜板遮住不需要的区域,用离子腔将相应的硼原子和磷原子注入半导体硅衬底中,随后进行高温推进过程形成相应的第一掺杂和第二掺杂区。
在一些可选的实施方式中,上述第一掺杂区和第二掺杂区采用热扩散的方式形成。其中,形成第一掺杂区用到的气体为三溴化硼或者三氯化硼,形成第二掺杂区用到的气体为三氯氧磷。进一步可选地,在进行热扩散的过程中,采用两次掩膜+清洗的过程。即形成第一掺杂区时,用掩膜遮住第二掺杂区区域,随后通入三溴化硼或三氯化硼进行热扩散,扩散温度为900℃~1100℃,最后进行掩膜的清洗。形成第二掺杂区时,用掩膜遮住第一掺杂区区域,随后通入三氯氧磷进行热扩散,扩散温度为700℃~900℃,最后进行掩膜的清洗。
在一些可选的实施方式中,形成第一掺杂区和第二掺杂区的步骤之前,该太阳能电池结构的制作方法还包括在半导体衬底的背面形成隧穿氧化层,在形成第一钝化层和第二钝化层的步骤之后,隧穿氧化层中的一部分与第一钝化层位于第一掺杂区的两侧,隧穿氧化层中的另一部分与第二钝化层位于第二掺杂区的两侧。
其中,该隧穿氧化层可以与上述多晶硅衬底共同构成太阳能电池的背面钝化接触结构,形成背面全区域钝化,进一步提升了太阳能电池的转换效率。
在一些可选的实施方式中,该隧穿氧化层为二氧化硅结构,其厚度为1cm~2cm。
其中,可以采用热氧化、臭氧氧化、湿法氧化、低压化学气相沉积(LPCVD)、等离子体增强化学气相沉积法(PECVD)、物理气相沉积(PVD)、常压化学气相沉积(APCVD)等方式形成上述隧穿氧化层。
在一些可选的实施方式中,在形成第一掺杂区和第二掺杂区的步骤之前,上述太阳能电池结构的制作方法还包括对半导体衬底的背面进行刻蚀,以形成凹槽,在形成第一掺杂区和第二掺杂区的步骤中,在背面中与凹槽对应的区域形成第一掺杂区,在背面中位于凹槽两侧的区域形成第二掺杂区。
其中,由于第一掺杂区和第二掺杂区呈交叉排列,为了避免电池漏电,可以采用激光开槽形成凹槽,进而在凹槽中形成第一掺杂区,以使第一掺杂区和第二掺杂区之间具有一定的高度差,从而进行有效的物理隔离,且采用凹槽隔离的第一掺杂区和第二掺杂区之间的空隙区域较小,能够使得表面具有良好的钝化效果,从而避免少数载流子的复合,太宽可能会导致背接触电池的有效面积被浪费,有效载流子也难以被收集,从而降低电池性能。
在一些可选的实施方式中,上述凹槽的开槽深度为10μm~100μm。
在一些可选的实施方式中,形成第一钝化层和第二钝化层的步骤包括:在半导体衬底的背面覆盖二氧化硅层,以使二氧化硅层中的一部分覆盖凹槽的底面和内壁并与第一掺杂区接触,二氧化硅层中的另一部分与第二掺杂区接触;在凹槽中形成第一钝化层;在第一钝化层和二氧化硅层表面覆盖第二钝化层。
其中,上述二氧化硅层可以采用热氧化、低压化学气相沉积(LPCVD)、等离子体增强化学气相沉积法(PECVD)的方式形成,可选地,该二氧化硅层的厚度为2nm~10nm。
上述二氧化硅层中的硅氧四面体结构和半导体硅衬底中的硅的匹配性较好,能提供优异的钝化和保护作用,且该氧化层厚度较薄,可阻止后续沉积过程中过多的氢离子渗透到半导体硅衬底中从而引发较为严重的光热致衰减LeTID效应。
在一些可选的实施方式中,形成第一钝化层时,利用掩膜板遮挡第二掺杂区,使掩膜板的镂空区域与第一掺杂区重合,随后在镂空区域沉积与第一掺杂区对应的钝化膜,以形成第一钝化层。
其中,上述第一钝化层为带负电的钝化层,该第一钝化层可以包括氧化铝、氧化镓、氧化铝+氮化硅、氧化镓+氮化硅等单层或多层堆叠结构。
在一些可是实施的方式中,形成第二钝化层时,利用掩模板遮挡第一掺杂区,使其镂空区域与第二掺杂区重合,随后在镂空区域沉积于第二掺杂区对应的钝化膜,以形成第二钝化层。
其中,上述第二钝化层为带正电的钝化层,该第二钝化层可以包括氧化硅、氮化硅、氢化非晶硅等单层或多层堆叠结构。
在一些可选的实施方式中,上述第一钝化层和第二钝化层的厚度均为60nm~200nm。
在一些可选的实施方式中,形成第一重掺杂区和第一重掺杂区的步骤包括:采用P型离子对半导体衬底的背面进行选择性发射极激光掺杂,以形成第一重掺杂区,优选采用355nm的皮秒级激光,脉冲宽度为10~20ps,工作频率为10~80MHz;采用N型离子对半导体衬底的背面进行选择性发射极激光掺杂,以形成第二重掺杂区,优选采用532nm的纳秒级激光,脉冲宽度为6~20ns,频率50~200KHz。
在一些可选的实施方式中,利用SE激光进行第一掺杂区和第二掺杂区的重掺,掺杂浓度为10 20-10 22cm -3,该步骤将PERC中较为成熟的SE技术引入到背接触电池中,形成重掺区域,增强欧姆接触,降低串联电阻,减少载流子复合几率。
在一些可选的实施方式中,由于第一掺杂区中的硼发射极和第二掺杂区中的磷发射极有着不同的特性,因此采用不同的激光进行掺杂形成第一重掺杂区和第二重掺杂区。其中,磷发射极一般采用纳秒级别的532绿光,硼发射极表面浓度低,结比较深,且硼在硼硅玻璃中的溶解度大于硅,所以需要更大的激光能量才能使硼向硅片进行扩散,但纳秒级激光能量过大时会造成硅片损伤,因此需要选用皮秒级激光进行硼掺杂。
在一些可选的实施方式中,形成第一重掺杂区和第二重掺杂区的步骤之后,上述制作方法还包括:在半导体衬底的正面形成正表面场或正面浮动结。
在一些可选的实施方式中,当半导体衬底为P型掺杂时,正表面场即为硼掺杂形成的P +型区域,当半导体衬底为N型掺杂时,正表面场即为磷掺杂的N +型区域。

另外,还可以采用丝网印刷+热推进、离子注入以及扩散等方式形成上述正表面场或正面浮动结。
在一些可选的实施方式中,形成上述正表面场或正面浮动结之后,在正表面场或正面浮动结远离半导体衬底的一侧形成减反膜,该减反膜设置在半导体衬底的正面,可以有效降低电池片的反射率,使更多的光被半导体硅衬底所吸收,减少能量的浪费,从而提升太阳能电池的转换效率。
其中,上述减反膜可以包括氟化镁,氮化硅,氧化硅等具有减反功能的材料。
在一些可选的实施方式中,上述减反膜的厚度为60~150nm。
在一些可选的实施方式中,上述减反膜的折射率为1.8~2.5。

其中,可以采用激光转印、丝网印刷、电镀等方式形成金属电极,且上述浆料可以包括银浆、穿透型铝浆或银铝浆。
