Description

A kind of quartz crucible for polysilicon solar battery casting ingot and spraying method thereof
Technical field
The present invention relates to method for manufacturing solar battery, especially a kind of quartz crucible for polysilicon solar battery casting ingot
Spraying method.
Background technology
Crystal-silicon solar cell has high-level efficiency and high stability, is a kind of device of solar generating had superiority most, and wherein polycrystal silicon cell, with higher cost performance, becomes on Vehicles Collected from Market the share occupied more than 80%.But solar battery technology is also immature, photoelectric transformation efficiency is lower, the more high defect of cost of electricity-generating has restricted the solar cell large-scale promotion application.Therefore, improving the cell photoelectric efficiency of conversion and reduce the battery manufacture cost is current photovoltaic industry problem demanding prompt solution.
Polycrystalline silicon solar cell is to make in the polysilicon chip substrate, and lattice defect can the serious efficiency of conversion that reduces solar cell.For the silicon ingot that cuts polysilicon chip, mainly adopt the method for directional freeze to make, the method crystal growing process is controlled coarse, and the silicon ingot volume is large, causes the silicon ingot built-in thermal stress larger.When thermal stresses is greater than the shearing resistance of crystal, stress just discharges in the mode that forms lattice defect.Casting refinement silicon ingot crystal grain, increase crystal boundary density, and the thermal stresses of silicon ingot is discharged by crystal boundary, can reduce the generation of lattice defect, thereby improve battery conversion efficiency.
For the problems referred to above, the technician has carried out some fundamental researchs.For example, Chinese patent CN 102826737 A provide the quartz crucible of a kind of bottom roughened, utilize coarse crucible bottom surface to promote crystal forming core, crystal grain thinning.But, after the crucible spraying silicon nitride coating of roughened, what directly contact with silicon liquid is silicon nitride coating, because silicon nitride coating and silicon liquid do not have wetting property, can not play the effect of nucleating center, thereby it is undesirable that the method is improved effect to grain morphology.The broken silicon material of a kind of use that patent CN 102776557 A propose is layered on crucible bottom and promotes forming core as seed crystal, and the silicon material melts the later stage, and adjusting process keeps broken silicon material partial melting, and crystal be take and do not melted the silicon material as upwards growth of seed crystal, obtains high-quality silicon ingot.But the method is because the silicon material do not melted is arranged at bottom, the silicon ingot percentage of admixture is higher, the yield rate of ingot casting is low, the method needs accurately to control the seed crystal residual content in addition, also can't realize automatic control at present, can only lean on manually and survey with quartz pushrod, the seed crystal residual content is controlled unstable, is difficult to realize popularizing in an all-round way.In addition, prior art also has direct coating silica flour and silicon sol mixture, but silica flour can not be dissolved in silicon sol, and mixture directly is melted, and can't form uniform nucleating center.
Summary of the invention
Goal of the invention: the present invention will provide the spraying method of a kind of quartz crucible for polysilicon solar battery casting ingot and this quartz crucible, so that the crucible obtained can be optimized crystalline-granular texture when manufacturing polysilicon, reduce the defect concentrations in crystals in polysilicon, thereby improve the efficiency of conversion of solar cell.
Technical scheme: a kind of spraying method of quartz crucible for polysilicon solar battery casting ingot comprises the steps:
A, prepare mixture, the mixture of silica flour and silicon nitride powder is dissolved in solvent, stir;
B, by the spraying of described mixture, brush or infiltrate at least part of zone of quartz crucible, form the mixture coating;
C, dry under 20 ~ 100 ℃, until described mixture coating drying.
The purity of described silica flour and silicon nitride powder is equal > 99.9%, particle diameter is 1~200um.In described mixture, the weight ratio of silica flour and silicon nitride powder is 1:10~5:1.After described mixture coating drying, thickness is 1~1000um.
A kind of quartz crucible for polysilicon solar battery casting ingot, the spraying of at least part of zone, brushing or infiltration in described quartz crucible have mixture, the mixture that described mixture is silica flour and silicon nitride.The purity of described silica flour and silicon nitride powder is equal > 99.9%, particle diameter is 1~200um.In described mixture, the weight ratio of silica flour and silicon nitride powder is 1:10~5:1.The coat-thickness that described mixture forms is 1~1000um.
Use above-mentioned crucible ingot casting, the silicon powder particle that silicon liquid be take in above-mentioned mixed deposit layer is nucleating center, at the long brilliant initial stage, forms great number of grains.Crystal grain is when upwards growing, and transverse growth is restricted, and finally obtains crystal particle volume less, and size is even, the silicon ingot that border is mellow and full.Because the crystal boundary distribution is also closeer more even, the thermal stresses of silicon ingot inside is discharged by crystal boundary, thereby has reduced the generation of the lattice defects such as dislocation.Owing to having there is more uniform type epipole, so crystal grain is more even.Silicon nitride one in mixture is make that coating is combined with crucible bottom tightr, the 2nd, and its fusing point is higher, and the silica flour in can supercoat is not melted, thereby as nucleating center.
Beneficial effect: the crucible ingot casting that uses the inventive method to make, still less, minority carrier life time is higher for the silicon chip lattice defect, and the polysilicon chip battery efficiency has improved 0.3~0.5% than conventional batteries; The ingot casting cost is suitable with conventional ingot casting simultaneously; Simple to operate, product performance are stable, do not need to increase extras, are easy to a large amount of Rapid Popularizations.
