The material of the encapsulant 14 is, for example, a light transmissive ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA), or other related materials usable for the solar cell module package, and is not limited to the examples of the embodiment. Further, the plurality of solar cells 13 are electrically connected to each other through a plurality of ribbon wires 15. Since the structures of the plurality of solar cells 13 are the same, only one of them will be described below as an example. Of course, the structure of the plurality of solar cells 13 in a module is not absolutely necessary.
參閱圖3、4、5,本實施例的太陽能電池13包 含一基板2、一抗反射層31、一鈍化層32,以及一電極單元4。Referring to Figures 3, 4, 5, the solar cell 13 package of the present embodiment A substrate 2, an anti-reflection layer 31, a passivation layer 32, and an electrode unit 4 are included.
本實施例的基板2為n型的單晶矽基板或多晶矽基板,並包括彼此相反的一受光面21與一背面22、一連接於該受光面21與該背面22之間且呈四面圍繞的側面23、一配置於該受光面21側的前表面電場區24,以及配置於該背面22側的一射極區25、一背表面電場區26與一間隔區27。The substrate 2 of the present embodiment is an n-type single crystal germanium substrate or a polycrystalline germanium substrate, and includes a light receiving surface 21 and a back surface 22 opposite to each other, and a connecting surface between the light receiving surface 21 and the back surface 22 and surrounded by four sides. The side surface 23, a front surface electric field region 24 disposed on the light receiving surface 21 side, and an emitter region 25 disposed on the back surface 22 side, a back surface electric field region 26 and a spacer region 27.
該受光面21具有粗糙化結構,藉此提高入光量;而該背面22具有一環繞且連接該側面23的周圍側邊221。The light-receiving surface 21 has a roughened structure, thereby increasing the amount of light incident; and the back surface 22 has a peripheral side 221 that surrounds and connects the side surface 23.
該前表面電場區24位於該受光面21處之內,並且沿著該受光面21之凹凸起伏而延伸配置。該前表面電場區24為n+ 型半導體,且其摻雜濃度大於該基板2之摻雜濃度,藉此形成前表面電場(Front-Side Field,簡稱FSF)以提升載子收集效率及光電轉換效率。在實施上,可利用擴散製程(例如磷擴散)或其他的摻雜方式,使該受光面21處的摻雜濃度高於該基板2內部,進而形成n+ 型半導體。The front surface electric field region 24 is located inside the light receiving surface 21, and is disposed to extend along the unevenness of the light receiving surface 21. The front surface electric field region 24 is an n + -type semiconductor, and its doping concentration is greater than the doping concentration of the substrate 2, thereby forming a front-surface electric field (Front-Side Field, FSF for short) to improve carrier collection efficiency and photoelectric conversion. effectiveness. In practice, a diffusion process (eg, phosphorus diffusion) or other doping method may be utilized to make the doping concentration at the light receiving surface 21 higher than the inside of the substrate 2, thereby forming an n + -type semiconductor.
該射極區25位於該背面22處之內,並且為p+ 型半導體,其摻雜電性與該基板2不同,藉以形成p-n接面,為光電效應的來源。該射極區25具有一環繞成四方環形且與該周圍側邊221間隔配置的環形摻雜部251,以及數個連接該環形摻雜部251且受該環形摻雜部251圈圍的 第一延伸部255。在圖5中,為了便於理解而在該射極區25上標示假想線,藉以區分該環形摻雜部251與該數個第一延伸部255。The emitter region 25 is located within the back surface 22 and is a p + -type semiconductor having a different doping property than the substrate 2, thereby forming a pn junction, which is a source of photoelectric effect. The emitter region 25 has an annular doping portion 251 surrounded by a square ring and spaced apart from the surrounding side edge 221, and a plurality of first ring-shaped doping portions 251 connected by the annular doping portion 251 Extension 255. In FIG. 5, an imaginary line is marked on the emitter region 25 for ease of understanding, thereby distinguishing the annular doping portion 251 from the plurality of first extending portions 255.
該環形摻雜部251具有一沿一第一方向81延伸的基段252、一沿一第二方向82與該基段252間隔且沿該第一方向81延伸的第一周段253,以及兩個沿該第二方向82延伸而彼此間隔地連接於該基段252與該第一周段253之間的第二周段254。該數個第一延伸部255分別由該基段252沿該第一方向81朝該第一周段253延伸。在實施上,該射極區25是藉由擴散製程(例如硼擴散)或其他的摻雜方式使該基板2的內部局部形成重摻雜的p+ 型半導體。此外,在本實施例中,該第一方向81垂直該第二方向82,但實施上,不需特別限制兩者之間的夾角關係。The annular doping portion 251 has a base portion 252 extending along a first direction 81, a first circumferential portion 253 spaced apart from the base portion 252 in a second direction 82 and extending along the first direction 81, and two A second circumferential section 254 extending between the base section 252 and the first circumferential section 253 is spaced apart from each other along the second direction 82. The plurality of first extensions 255 extend from the base section 252 along the first direction 81 toward the first circumferential section 253, respectively. In practice, the emitter region 25 partially forms a heavily doped p + -type semiconductor inside the substrate 2 by a diffusion process (eg, boron diffusion) or other doping. Further, in the present embodiment, the first direction 81 is perpendicular to the second direction 82, but in practice, the angle relationship between the two is not particularly limited.
該背表面電場區26位於該背面22處之內,並且為n++ 型半導體。該背表面電場區26間隔地受該環形摻雜部251所圈圍,並具有一鄰近該第一周段253且沿該第一方向81延伸的收集部261,以及數個由該收集部261沿該第二方向82朝該基段252延伸的第二延伸部262。該數個第一延伸部255與該數個第二延伸部262分別沿該第一方向81交錯排列,該數個第一延伸部255的寬度t1大於該數個第二延伸部262的寬度t2。在實施上,該背表面電場區26是藉由擴散製程(例如磷擴散)或其他的摻雜方式使該基板2的內部局部形成重摻雜的n++ 型半導體,且其摻雜濃度大於該基板2的摻雜濃度,藉此形成背表面電場 (Back-Side Field,簡稱BSF)以提升載子收集效率及光電轉換效率。The back surface electric field region 26 is located within the back surface 22 and is an n ++ type semiconductor. The back surface electric field region 26 is circumferentially surrounded by the annular doping portion 251 and has a collecting portion 261 adjacent to the first circumferential portion 253 and extending along the first direction 81, and a plurality of collecting portions 261 A second extension 262 extends along the second direction 82 toward the base segment 252. The plurality of first extending portions 255 and the plurality of second extending portions 262 are staggered in the first direction 81, and the width t1 of the plurality of first extending portions 255 is greater than the width t2 of the plurality of second extending portions 262. . In practice, the back surface electric field region 26 is partially formed into a heavily doped n ++ type semiconductor by a diffusion process (eg, phosphorus diffusion) or other doping manner, and the doping concentration thereof is greater than The doping concentration of the substrate 2, thereby forming a Back-Side Field (BSF) to improve carrier collection efficiency and photoelectric conversion efficiency.
需要注意的是,若該基板2為一p型半導體基板,該前表面電場區24就會製作成摻雜濃度大於該p型基板2的p+ 型半導體,而該背表面電場區26會製作成摻雜濃度大於前述前表面電場區24之p++ 型半導體,且該射極區25則製作成n型半導體。It should be noted that if the substrate 2 is a p-type semiconductor substrate, the front surface electric field region 24 is formed as a p + -type semiconductor having a doping concentration greater than that of the p-type substrate 2, and the back surface electric field region 26 is fabricated. The p ++ type semiconductor having a doping concentration greater than that of the front surface electric field region 24 is formed, and the emitter region 25 is formed as an n-type semiconductor.
該間隔區27位於該背面22處之內,並具有一位於該射極區25與該背表面電場區26之間的內間隔部271,以及一鄰接該周圍側邊221且環繞配置成四方環形而包圍該射極區25與該背表面電場區26的外圍繞部272。該外圍繞部272將該射極區25的環形摻雜部251與該周圍側邊221間隔開而使兩者互不相連。該內間隔部271將該射極區25與該背表面電場區26間隔開而使兩者互不相連。The spacer 27 is located within the back surface 22 and has an inner spacer 271 between the emitter region 25 and the back surface electric field region 26, and a peripheral ring 221 adjacent to the surrounding side 221 and surrounded by a square ring And an outer surrounding portion 272 surrounding the emitter region 25 and the back surface electric field region 26. The outer surrounding portion 272 spaces the annular doping portion 251 of the emitter region 25 from the peripheral side edge 221 so that the two are not connected to each other. The inner spacer 271 spaces the emitter region 25 from the back surface electric field region 26 so that the two are not connected to each other.
實際上,利用擴散製程製作該射極區25與該背表面電場區26時,可透過適當的製程控制,使該射極區25與該背表面電場區26間隔,則該射極區25與該背表面電場區26之間未額外進行擴散製程的區域就成為該內間隔部271。該間隔區27的表面可如圖4所示地與該射極區25及該背表面電場區26的表面不等高,但依製程需求之不同,該間隔區27的表面亦可與該射極區25及該背表面電場區26的表面等高。In fact, when the emitter region 25 and the back surface electric field region 26 are formed by a diffusion process, the emitter region 25 can be separated from the back surface electric field region 26 by appropriate process control, and the emitter region 25 is The region between the back surface electric field regions 26 where no diffusion process is additionally performed becomes the inner spacer portion 271. The surface of the spacer 27 may be unequal to the surface of the emitter region 25 and the back surface electric field region 26 as shown in FIG. 4, but the surface of the spacer region 27 may also be different from the surface. The surface of the polar region 25 and the back surface electric field region 26 are equal in height.

It is used to increase the amount of light incident and reduce the surface recombination Velocity (SRV).
本實施例的鈍化層32配置於該背面22上,並覆蓋於該射極區25、該背表面電場區26與該間隔區27上。該鈍化層32的材料可為氧化物、氮化物或上述材料的組合,並用於鈍化、修補該基板2的表面以減少表面之懸鍵(Dangling Bond)與缺陷,從而可減少載子陷阱(Trap)及降低載子的表面複合速率,以提升該太陽能電池13的光電轉換效率。The passivation layer 32 of the present embodiment is disposed on the back surface 22 and covers the emitter region 25, the back surface electric field region 26 and the spacer region 27. The material of the passivation layer 32 may be an oxide, a nitride or a combination of the above materials, and used to passivate and repair the surface of the substrate 2 to reduce the surface dangling bond and defects, thereby reducing carrier traps (Trap) And reducing the surface recombination rate of the carrier to improve the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell 13.
