Description

Crystal formation mode and device
Technical field
The relevant improvement that polysilicon crystal forming method and device are arranged of the present invention; Be intended to solve the moulding of existing known techniques institute and can't make just that the volume of nucleation maximizes or tool electricity passivity crystal boundary, cause chip electricity passivity and the lower problem of electricity conversion by the moulding of polysilicon crystal cut.
Background technology
Press, solar photocell belongs to semi-conductive a kind of, so be called solar chip again, silicon (silicon) is the raw material representative of at present general solar cell, and its electricity generating principle is for to convert solar energy to electric energy.The chip material of solar energy electric substrate (Solar PV Cell) has a variety of; Can be divided into silicon single crystal (Monocrystalline Silicon), polysilicon (Polycrystalline/Multicrystalline Silicon), non-crystalline silicon (Amorphous Silicon) haply; And other non-silicon materials, wherein common with silicon single crystal and two types of polysilicons; And the composed atom of silicon single crystal is all according to certain rule, and the product efficiency of conversion is higher; But relative manufacturing cost is also comparatively expensive, though the product in early stage market is main with silicon single crystal still, because the production cost of silicon single crystal is higher; Add that the technical progress of polysilicon is very fast in recent years; Make the efficiency of conversion of polysilicon significantly improve, under advantage cheaply, the existing trend that replaces single crystal silicon product of polysilicon.
And at present industry institute generally the polysilicon crystal manufacturing technology of employing is as shown in Figure 1; In crucible A, will grow brilliant liquid phase feed puts into; Under the effect of crucible A both sides well heater A1 and crucible A bottom heating panel A2; Make crucible A bottom form countless nucleation 1 just; And make this just nucleation 1 upwards grow up with unidirectional solidification and form a complete polysilicon crystal 10 as shown in Figure 2, these polysilicon crystal 10 last chip grounds that adopt across cutting, grinding, polishing and section to become set size are for being made into solar chip.
Moreover; The polysilicon crystalline each just distinguish separated by " crystal boundary " between the nucleation; Utilize the polysilicon crystal of above-mentioned existing technological institute moulding because just the volume of nucleation can't maximize, cooperate, the first nucleation 1 that has a greater number in polysilicon crystal 10 unit surfaces is arranged making to practise with reference to shown in Figure 3; The quantity of relative crystal boundary 11 is also more, causes utilizing the chip optoelectronic transformation efficiency of this polysilicon crystal 10 moulding of cutting into slices low.
In addition, practise its crystal boundary of polysilicon crystal that has manufacturing technology to produce and belong to active crystal boundary mostly, electronics electricity hole will be booked through the zone of active crystal boundary, can not generate electricity, and becomes invalid zone; If but process is electric passivity crystal boundary zone, electronics electricity hole is just unaffected, and usefulness is just the same as monocrystalline.Therefore how controlling electric passivity crystal boundary or reduce active crystal boundary is very important to polysilicon crystal manufacturing technology.
Summary of the invention
Main purpose of the present invention promptly can't make just in the moulding of the existing known techniques of solution institute, and the volume of nucleation maximizes; Cause chip electricity passivity and the lower problem of electricity conversion by the moulding of polysilicon crystal cut; That is can effectively reduce the resistance of chip; And can promote electric passivity, and then increase the photoelectric transformation efficiency of chip.
Take off purpose on reaching; The present invention mainly sees through the crucible bottom is imposed the local high type of cooling; Make the radially bearing of trend of liquid phase feed form plural temperature contrast district; To control each just formation position and direction of growth of nucleation, make each just nucleation upwards grow up and the complete polysilicon crystal that forms has higher electric passivity and the less characteristic of unit cross-sectional area number of grain boundaries: even, can further adopt along first nucleation growth direction vertically the mode of cutting reduce crystal boundary fully.
One of effect of the present invention is to promote electric passivity, the electronics electricity hole of polysilicon crystals can be affected, to increase the photoelectric transformation efficiency of chip.
Two of effect of the present invention is to reduce crystal boundary and promptly reduces chip internal impurity, therefore can increase the photoelectric transformation efficiency of chip equally.
