HDT structure and components mechanism
Firstly, PECVD is used to deposit very thin intrinsic silicon passivation layer and P-type silicon doping layer on the back of N-type mono crystalline silicon wafer after texture formations on silicon surface.
Secondly, very thin intrinsic silicon passivation layer and N-type silicon doped layer are deposited on the front side of the silicon wafer. After the silicon film layer is deposited, transparent oxide conductive film (TCO) and metal lamination are deposited on both sides of the cell using PVD magnetron sputtering coating technology.
Finally, a double-sided metal electrode is prepared on a transparent conductive film by metal grating technology to form a final symmetrical multilayer laminated structure.

Functions of Metal Electrode in HDT Solar Cells
The HDT cell structure consists of four silicon films, in which P-type and N-type silicon doped layers are used as the emitter and back electrode fields construct the internal electric field of the cell, and the thickness is about 5nm. The main function of the intrinsic silicon layer on both sides of the mono crystalline silicon wafer is to passivate mono crystalline silicon surface , increase the life of the few particles, and reduce the recombination of the few particles at the interface.
