  • Publication number: 20240055539
    Abstract: The present application relates to a passivating contact structure and a preparation method thereof, and a solar cell and a preparation method thereof. In the method for preparing the passivating contact structure, a tunnel layer is formed on a side of a substrate; an initial stack structure is formed on a side of the tunnel layer away from the substrate. The initial stack structure includes polysilicon layers and a doped layer alternately stacked. In the initial stack structure, an innermost layer is most adjacent to the tunnel layer, an outermost layer is most away from the tunnel layer, the innermost layer and the outermost layer are both polysilicon layers. The doped layer is a polysilicon material layer doped with a dopant. The dopant is activated, such that the dopant diffuses into the polysilicon layers, thereby transforming the initial stack structure into a doped stack structure with uniform distribution of dopant.

  • Patent number: 9965846
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for detecting crystal orientation of a silicon wafer is proposed. The detection method uses a camera shooting device to irradiate the silicon wafer in a rotation manner in different angular directions and obtains the corresponding reflection intensities, based on which a reflection curve is drawn for a grain of interest in a polar coordinate system; normal directions of three or more faces of a regular octahedron of a grain <111> are determined by identifying a pixel brightness extreme value in the reflection curve, and then all normal vectors of the regular octahedron are calculated, so that a crystal orientation of the grain of interest may be calculated. The camera shooting device has a light source and one or more camera shooting probes.
