Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of solar cells, in particular to a crystalline silicon solar cell diffusion layer, a preparation method thereof, a cell and a component.
Background
The process for manufacturing the crystalline silicon solar cell in a large-scale mode comprises diffusion, and a PN junction obtained after a diffusion layer is formed by diffusion is the heart of the crystalline silicon solar cell and directly influences the electrical property of the crystalline silicon solar cell.
Currently, the crystalline silicon solar cell generally adopts (100) p-type silicon as a base material, and is vertically inserted into a quartz boat back to use liquid phosphorus oxychloride (POCl)3) As a diffusion source, a phosphorus source is carried into a reaction system by protective gas, and then a diffusion layer is formed in the silicon wafer through thermal diffusion treatment. Wherein, the thermal diffusion treatment is to decompose the phosphorus source at about 1000 ℃ and deposit the phosphorus source on the surface of the silicon wafer, and then carry out knot pushing for a period of time at 800-900 ℃ to form a diffusion layer.
However, with the decreasing thickness of silicon wafers, the ultra-thin silicon wafers cannot be inserted into the quartz boat back-to-back vertically, which causes a great compatibility problem in the above process. In addition, in the thermal diffusion treatment, diffusion layers are formed on both sides and edges of the silicon wafer, and the diffusion layers at the edges can conduct the upper and lower surfaces, so that the battery cannot work normally. In order to ensure the performance of the solar cell, the silicon wafer is generally floated on an acid solution in industrial production to remove the diffusion layer on the back surface and the edge. However, the existing post-cleaning equipment mainly adopts a roller assembly line to remove the diffusion layer on the back and the edge, and the minimum thickness of the silicon wafer is generally required to be 140-160 μm. If the process is adopted to directly etch the ultrathin silicon wafer, the corrosive solution at the bottom of the silicon wafer bypasses the edge of the silicon wafer and reaches the front side of the silicon wafer, so that the diffusion layer on the front side is damaged. Meanwhile, the ultrathin silicon wafer has certain flexibility, so that the ultrathin silicon wafer can be bent to a certain degree between the rollers, and the stability of the etching process is greatly reduced. Therefore, in the prior art, a method for directly growing a diffusion layer exists, but the method has higher equipment cost; the preparation of the diffusion layer can be realized by a method of spin coating the diffusion source or a method of diffusion after coating the diffusion source in a photoetching technology area, but the controllability of the diffusion layer is not high, the diffusion can only be realized in the whole area, and the photoetching technology cost of the diffusion layer is higher and the production efficiency is lower.
