Description

技术领域
本发明的实施例涉及可再生能源领域,具体而言,涉及制造太阳能电池的发射极区域的方法。
背景技术
光伏电池(常被称为太阳能电池)是熟知的用于直接转化太阳辐射为电能的器件。一般来讲,使用半导体加工技术在衬底的表面附近形成p-n结而将太阳能电池制造在半导体晶片或衬底上。入射到衬底表面上的太阳辐射在衬底的体块中产生电子空穴对,这些电子空穴对迁移到衬底中的p-掺杂和n-掺杂区域,从而在所述掺杂区域之间产生电压差。所述掺杂区域与太阳能电池上的金属触点相连以将电流从电池导向与其连接的外部电路。
效率是太阳能电池的重要特性,因为其直接关系到太阳能电池的发电能力。因此,提高太阳能电池效率的技术通常是可取的。通过提供用于制造太阳能电池结构的新方法,本发明的实施例可供提高太阳能电池效率之用。

具体实施方式
本文描述了制造太阳能电池的发射极区域的方法。在下面的描述中,给出了许多具体细节,例如具体的工艺流程操作,以形成对本发明的实施例的透彻理解。对本领域的技术人员将显而易见的是在没有这些具体细节的情况下可实施本发明的实施例。在其他情况下,没有详细描述熟知的制造技术,例如光刻和蚀刻技术,以避免不必要地使本发明的实施例变得模糊。此外,应当理解在图中示出的多种实施例是示例性的实例并且未必按比例绘制。
本文公开了制造太阳能电池的发射极区域的方法。在一个实施例中,制造太阳能电池的发射极区域的方法包括在炉内于衬底表面上形成隧道氧化层。在不从炉中取出衬底的情况下在隧道氧化层上形成非晶态层。对非晶态层掺杂以形成具有N-型掺杂剂的第一区域和具有P-型掺杂剂的第二区域。随后,加热非晶态层以形成具有N-型掺杂区域和P-型掺杂区域的多晶层。在一个实施例中,在太阳能电池的衬底上形成多个层的方法包括将带有多个晶片的晶片载体装入炉内,所述晶片载体具有一个或多个装载两个背对背设置的晶片的晶片接纳槽。在炉中,在所述多个晶片中的每一个的所有表面上形成隧道氧化层。在不从炉中取出衬底的情况下在隧道氧化层上形成非晶态层,所述非晶态层形成在隧道氧化层的除背对背设置的晶片间接触部分之外的所有部分上。
本文还公开了太阳能电池。在此类实施例中,太阳能电池包含衬底或晶片。在一个实施例中,在硅晶片的所有表面上设置包含二氧化硅的隧道氧化层。在隧道氧化层上设置多晶层,所述多晶层设置在隧道氧化层的除硅晶片的背侧之外的所有部分上,所述背侧具有多晶层的环形图案。在一个实施例中,在硅晶片的所有表面上设置包含二氧化硅的隧道氧化层。在隧道氧化层上设置非晶态层,所述非晶态层设置在隧道氧化层的除硅晶片的背侧之外的所有部分上,所述背侧具有非晶态层的环形图案。
根据本发明的一个实施例,为制造太阳能电池的钝化发射极,使用薄隧道氧化物以及重掺杂的n-型和p-型多晶硅。虽然这样的膜可按传统方式单独地在炉中形成,但尚未组合起来制造太阳能电池,且这样做的制造成本对于太阳能电池市场可能太过高昂。反倒在一个实施例中,将氧化和后续的硅沉积组合在单个工艺操作中。在一个实施例中,通过在炉舟中每个槽装两个晶片,此方法也可用来使生产量加倍。在一个实施例中,先将硅沉积为未掺杂的非晶态层。在此实施例中,在后来的加工操作中掺杂并晶化硅以形成多晶硅层。在一个可供选择的实施例中,在单个工艺操作中将硅层形成为多晶硅层。
本发明的实施例可解决传统的制造问题,例如(但不限于):(1)氧化物厚度的控制和氧化物质量,(2)氧化和多晶硅沉积之间的污染,(3)过度的预防性维护需要,(4)生产量,或(5)n-多晶硅和p-多晶硅薄层电阻的控制。根据本发明的一个实施例,组合太阳能电池制造方法的若干特征,也就是将氧化和多晶硅(先作为非晶硅)沉积组合到单个工序中。在一个实施例中,在炉中使用碳化硅(SiC)部件以延长维修间隔期。在一个实施例中,每个槽装两个晶片以增加生产量。上面的实施例都可对制造太阳能电池的可行性有贡献。
在一个实施例中,沉积的硅为非晶态层并在后来的操作中掺杂和晶化该层,这使得过程更可控并改善钝化。在一个实施例中,通过在炉传送舟中每个槽装两个晶片来改善生产量。在一个实施例中,使用SiC舟以获得尺寸稳定性。在一个实施例中,薄层电阻的控制通过沉积未掺杂的非晶态硅而不是原位掺杂的多晶硅来实现。然后在后来的更高温度的操作中选择性地形成n区和p区并加以晶化。在一个实施例中,通过遵循本文所述的一种或多种方法,晶粒尺寸可最大化,薄层电阻可最小化,且补偿掺杂可避免。
应当理解,用于膜制造的炉不限于常规炉。在一个实施例中,所述炉为用于晶片加工的炉膛,例如(但不限于)立式炉膛、卧式炉膛或等离子体炉膛。还应当理解,本文提及的非晶态膜或层不限于非晶态硅膜或层。在一个实施例中,非晶态膜或层为例如(但不限于)非晶态硅-锗膜或层或者非晶态碳掺杂硅膜或层之类的膜或层。
太阳能电池可被制造成包括发射极区域。例如,图1根据本发明的一个实施例示出了流程图100,该流程图表示在制造太阳能电池的发射极区域的方法中的操作。图2A-2E根据本发明的一个实施例示出了剖视图,这些剖视图表示对应于流程图100的操作的太阳能电池(包括发射极区域)各个制造阶段。
参见图2A,该图示出了用于太阳能电池制造的衬底202。根据本发明的一个实施例,衬底202由体硅衬底构成。在一个实施例中,所述体硅衬底掺杂有N-型掺杂剂。在一个实施例中,衬底202具有纹理化表面,但未在图2A中示出。
参见流程图100的操作102和对应的图2B,制造太阳能电池的发射极区域的方法包括在炉内在衬底202表面上形成隧道氧化层204。根据本发明的一个实施例,形成隧道氧化层204包括在炉中于大约900摄氏度的温度下加热衬底202。在一个特定实施例中,在炉中于大约900摄氏度的温度下加热衬底202还包括在大约500毫托的压力下在氧气氛中加热大约3分钟以形成厚度为大约1.5纳米的隧道氧化层204。根据本发明的另一个实施例,形成隧道氧化层204包括在炉中在低于600摄氏度的温度下加热衬底202。在一个特定实施例中,在炉中在低于600摄氏度的温度下加热衬底202还包括在大约565摄氏度的温度、大约300托的压力下在氧气氛中加热大约60分钟以形成厚度约1.5纳米的隧道氧化层204。在一个可供选择的实施例中,所述气氛包括N2O。
参见流程图100的操作104和对应的图2C,制造太阳能电池的发射极区域的方法还包括在不从炉中取出衬底202的情况下在隧道氧化层204上形成非晶态层206。根据本发明的一个实施例,形成非晶态层206包括在炉中在低于575摄氏度的温度下沉积非晶态层206。在一个特定实施例中,在炉中在低于575摄氏度的温度下沉积非晶态层206还包括在大约565摄氏度的温度、大约350毫托的压力下在硅烷(SiH4)气氛中加热以形成厚度大约在200-300纳米范围内的非晶态层206。
参见流程图100的操作106和对应的图2D,制造太阳能电池的发射极区域的方法还包括用掺杂剂208掺杂非晶态层206以形成掺杂的非晶态层210,掺杂的非晶态层210具有包含N-型掺杂剂的第一区域(p-n结212的左侧)和包含P-型掺杂剂的第二区域(p-n结212的右侧)。在一个实施例中,掺杂剂自固态源引入。在另一个实施例中,掺杂剂作为注入的原子或离子引入。
参见流程图100的操作108和对应的图2E,制造太阳能电池的发射极区域的方法还包括随后加热掺杂的非晶态层210以形成具有N-型掺杂区域218和P-型掺杂区域216的多晶层214。根据本发明的一个实施例,衬底202由硅构成,隧道氧化层204由二氧化硅构成,非晶态层206由硅构成,N-型掺杂剂为磷掺杂剂,P-型掺杂剂为硼掺杂剂。在一个实施例中,隧道氧化层204和非晶态层206二者均在大约565摄氏度的温度下形成,且加热掺杂的非晶态层210以形成多晶层214包括在大约980摄氏度的温度下加热。
