A method of inhibit crystal silicon solar batteries laser to cut the reduction of half behind efficiency
Technical field
The invention belongs to technical field of solar batteries, it is related to a kind of inhibition crystal silicon solar batteries laser and cuts half behind efficiency
Reduced method.
Background technique
Solar energy generation technology is the key areas of green energy resource development.The output power of solar components is improved in addition to mentioning
The photoelectric conversion efficiency of high solar battery, while also to reduce the loss in encapsulation process to the greatest extent.Solar cell module
Encapsulation can choose full wafer cell package and half cell package.Half battery component is advantageous in that compared to full wafer battery pack
Part, internal short circuit current halve, therefore the inside of half component is consumed and effectively dropped in same internal resistance
It is low.To increase the external output power of solar cell module.But in industrialized production, half battery is directly produced
Dramatically increasing in cost can be brought, the general mode for producing half battery is first to produce full wafer battery, uses and swashs after the completion of battery
Full wafer battery is uniformly cut into two panels along line of symmetry by light, then is packaged to be made into half battery and is cut half component.
During full wafer battery is cut into half using laser, laser locally melts cell piece along symmetry axis
Change, to achieve the purpose that for cell piece to be split into two halves.Therefore, laser very serious is caused in the section part of two panels battery
Damage, the damage from laser of section part become the complex centre of photo-generated carrier, therefore relative to before not being sliced, half battery
Photoelectric conversion efficiency reduces.
High energy laser can melt silicon wafer during laser cutting, and the silicon of thawing splashes out to be detached by pumping dirt device,
Form pit in situ, then with mechanical force along cut direction by cell piece dimidiation.Therefore the edge of half battery has two
The different damage of kind.Type of impairment I: the silicon that damage from laser area melts is recrystallized as solid.During this silicon atom without
The original perfect ordered arrangement state of method reduction, forms mechanical damage.Type of impairment II: breaking portion caused by mechanical force breaks
Face is concordant, forms dangling bonds on surface, becomes the compound center of electron-hole.
In the prior art in order to avoid laser cutting there are the problem of can directly produce half battery, but entire factory
Automation needs to be transformed again, and production capacity reduces half.The cutting-in of laser can also be reduced, that is, reduces the silicon wafer of laser fusing
Ratio, loss in efficiency slightly reduce, but effect is unobvious, in addition, cutting-in reduce after cell piece be difficult to break it is disconnected, it is easy to form edge
The fracture of other crystal orientation, and asymmetric dimidiation.
Summary of the invention
It is cut partly to solve solar battery laser in the prior art, the present invention provides a kind of suppressions
Cell piece is put by the method that combinations silicon solar cell laser cuts the reduction of half behind efficiency after solar battery laser cuts half
High temperature, which leads in oxygen atmosphere, to be handled, and the dislocation density on I surface of type of impairment, lattice defect can be due to again passing by high temperature mistake
Journey has significant alleviation;The dangling bonds on II surface of type of impairment first generate fine and close oxide layer, passivation in high-temperature oxygen condition
The defect center of interface.The defect entire lowering of section part after being handled with the method, band after effectively inhibiting cell piece to cut
The loss in efficiency come.Specific step is as follows:
(1), furnace temp under inert gas protection, is risen to 150-500 DEG C, maintains furnace temperature to stablize and is used as standby temperature
Degree.
When temperature is lower than 150 DEG C, section is difficult to form thermal oxide layer is passivated type of impairment I again, in addition swashs in lattice
The defects of atom caused by light misplaces also rearranges without enough heat powers, can not effectively be passivated type of impairment II.But it is warm
Degree can not be excessively high, higher than 500 DEG C after will cause battery surface passivation layer passivation effect be deteriorated, electrode also easily aoxidizes, right
In HIT battery, treatment temperature is even not above 250 degree.Therefore, the method for the present invention is heat-treated using 150-500 DEG C.
Wherein, the inert gas is nitrogen, argon gas.
(2), the half cell piece after cutting is gathered and is placed on bracket, is sent into heating furnace, guarantee that cutting section can
With with atmosphere in furnace, shut fire door.
The half cell piece are as follows: N-PERT half cell piece, N-TOPCon half cell piece or HIT half cell piece;
The bracket is quartz holder, SiC bracket or stainless steel stent.
(3), it is passed through oxygen to be handled, oxygen flow ratio 5%-30%;Handle time 10min-2h.
Oxygen flow is lower than 5%, and the time can not form fine and close and sufficiently thick thermal oxide layer lower than 10min, can not also make
Annealed zone lattice defect effectively restores.But flow be higher than 30% after, oxygen be it is excessive, will cause gas waste increase
Economic cost.As long as lattice defect is effectively restored, oxide layer is fine and close enough, for more time to process results just without apparent
It influences, by experiment we have found that 2h is the upper limit for handling the time.
(4), quartz holder is taken out together with cell piece after the completion of handling, is cooled to room temperature.
The type of cooling is that natural cooling or process control are cooling.
The utility model has the advantages that
The method of the present invention simple process, effect are obvious;Requirement to equipment is low, and common annealing furnace, band oven, batch-type furnace are all
It can complete heat treatment of the invention.
After solar battery laser is cut half by the method for the present invention, cell piece is put into high temperature and is led in oxygen atmosphere
Reason, the dislocation density on I surface of type of impairment, lattice defect can have significant alleviation due to again passing by pyroprocess;Type of impairment
The dangling bonds on II surface first generate fine and close oxide layer in high-temperature oxygen condition, have been passivated the defect center of interface.Use this
The defect entire lowering of section part, bring loss in efficiency after effectively inhibiting cell piece to cut after method processing.
