The invention provides a method for treating a surface of silicon nitride by a hydrofluoric acid solution. In the method, the surface of the silicon nitride is treated by using the hydrofluoric acid solution with mass concentration of 0.5-3%, and the treatment is continued for 5-120 seconds so as to reduce a contact angle between a film and the solution so that the hydrophily of the surface of the film is improved.

Description

A kind of method for treating surface of silicon nitride by hydrofluoric acid solution
Technical field
The present invention relates to solar cell manufacture process, be specifically related to a kind of method adopting hydrofluoric acid solution to process silicon nitride surface.
Background technology
At present, silicon nitride is as excellent reduced passivation resisting film, become industrialization and produced a crystal-silicon solar cell requisite part, and be one of important procedure of the efficient selective emitter solar batteries such as such as laser doping now in silicon nitride surface by technology such as spin coating or spraying phosphoric acid.Spin coating technique is covered with in silicon nitride surface by rotation platform by solution; Spraying technology is that solution is smashed at nozzle place the drop that nebulizes, and is scattered in silicon nitride surface by the drop of low-pressure air current effect outgoing.In order to good coupling subsequent technique, the film thickness that these technology produce is nanometer scale, and need between drop to be interconnected to form continuously and uniform plastic film covering at silicon chip surface, this just proposes very high requirement to the hydrophily of film surface.One method carries out NH in position in silicon nitride preparation technology 3plasma surface treatment (application number 201010231360.4), makes film surface occur the nitrogen-containing functional group that polarity is stronger, such as-NH 2,-NH etc., but these functional groups are easily oxidized to ONH in atmosphere 2, ONH etc.Another method is the hydrophily adopting oxidizing solution to increase silicon nitride surface, and such as adopt the SC1 solution used in semiconductor cleaning, SC3 solution, salpeter solution etc., can improve the contact angle between silicon nitride surface and water.But these solution have stronger corrosivity, easily chemical corrosion is caused to the back metal electrode in solar cell device, and due to the special protection of strong oxidizing property action need of chemical solution.In sum, seek simple and fast, improve the hydrophilic method of silicon nitride surface most important to crystal silicon solar cell with selective emitter technology.
Patent of invention (application number 200910242237.X) adopts the hydrofluoric acid of dilution to clean silicon chip.This invention adopts the hydrofluoric acid of dilution to clean silicon chip in the final step chemical reagent cleaning of Wafer Cleaning flow process.In hydrofluoric acid clean liquid, the volume ratio of hydrofluoric acid and water is HF: H 2o=1: 300 ~ 1: 2000, the scavenging period of the hydrofluoric acid clean liquid of dilution is: 30 seconds ~ 1000 seconds.The step of this invention is: the hydrofluoric acid of APM → DHF → APM → dilution for many times.The process of hydrofluoric acid solution is carried out in this invention having hydrophilic silicon chip surface, keep the original hydrophily of silicon chip surface after process.
Summary of the invention
The technical problem to be solved in the present invention is: propose a kind of method obtaining high-hydrophilic silicon nitride surface, optimizes the preparation technology of crystal-silicon solar cell.
The technical solution adopted for the present invention to solve the technical problems is: the hydrofluoric acid solution adopting suitable concentration, guarantee, to silicon nitride, there is lower corrosion rate, to reduce the loss of silicon nitride thickness in processing procedure, and process rapidly the silicon nitride surface of silicon chip within a certain period of time, improve surface hydrophilicity.
Use the inventive method, after hydrofluoric acid effect silicon nitride surface, the non-polar group of silicon nitride surface can be etched away on the one hand, such as, the nitrogen-containing group deoxidation of oxidation be become polar group, expose more Si-N key, this Si-N key is the key that a kind of polarity is higher simultaneously.These nitrogenous group (-NH 2,-NH) and have the Si-N key of high polarity all to present hydrophily, reduce the contact angle of film and solution, add the hydrophily of silicon nitride surface.Adopt the inventive method can increase the hydrophily on surface simply, thus obtain even application or the spin-coated thin film of gross area at subsequent nitridation silicon face.
The inventive method specifically comprises the following steps:
(1) hydrofluoric acid that commercially available concentration is 40% is diluted with water, preparation quality concentration 0.5% ~ 3% hydrofluoric acid solution;
(2) hydrofluoric acid solution that step (1) is obtained being inserted conventional top is equipped with in the solution tank of roller bearing, makes described hydrofluoric acid solution not have roller bearing;
(3) be placed in by silicon substrate on described roller bearing, the silicon nitride of silicon substrate faces down and to contact with hydrofluoric acid solution;
(4) driving silicon chip to make it rotate along with roller bearing and advance, by regulating roller bearing speed, making the duration of hydrofluoric acid treatment silicon nitride surface be 5 ~ 120 seconds;
(5) at the silicon nitride surface spin coating processed through step (4) or the solution spraying phosphoric acid or boric acid, uniform surface film is formed.
The present invention carries out hydrofluoric acid solution process having hydrophobic silicon nitride surface, produces many polar groups, reduces the contact angle of film and solution, thus add the hydrophily of silicon nitride surface after process in silicon nitride surface.The present invention adopts hydrofluoric acid solution that the hydrophobic silicon nitride surface of script is treated to hydrophilic silicon nitride surface, and the improvement degree of effects on surface is larger.
The present invention can while not extending the process time substantially, and increase the hydrophily of silicon nitride surface easily, production cost is low, and production efficiency is high, workable.
