Embodiment
It should be noted that in the case where not conflicting, the feature in embodiment and embodiment in the application can phase Mutually combination.Describe the present invention in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings and in conjunction with the embodiments.
In order to solve the silicon chip side existed during using the Boron diffusion method for using high temperature deposition High temperature diffusion in the prior art The problem of hindering lack of homogeneity, excessive boron source consumption and low battery conversion efficiency, the invention provides a kind of expansion of the boron of N-type silicon chip Method is dissipated, is comprised the following steps:Depositional phase, the silicon chip after wet etching is put into diffusion furnace and heated up, and is passed through nitrogen, oxygen Gas and boron source carry out surface deposition to silicon chip;Diffusion phase is promoted, the post-depositional silicon chip in surface is warming up to predetermined temperature, is promoted Diffusion, and it is passed through oxygen and nitrogen during heating up and promoting diffusion;And the rear oxidation stage, the silicon chip after diffusion is dropped Temperature, and it is passed through during cooling oxygen and nitrogen.
In the boron diffusion process of N-type silicon chip, the technique promoted using low temperature depositing high temperature, and to depositing and spreading temperature Degree, boron source flow etc. are regulated and controled, and reduce the boron atom concentration of silicon chip surface, reduce the surface recombination speed of solar cell The lattice damage of rate and silicon chip surface so that the average poor (STDEV) of sheet resistance is controlled 2.0 or so, improves boron expansion The problem of dissipating sheet resistance lack of homogeneity, so that the p-n junction being evenly distributed.Silicon chip is caused using method provided by the present invention Qualification rate rise to 98% from current 80%, improve the conversion efficiency of battery, at the same it also avoid generate Pyrex (BGS) boron source consumption, is reduced, cost has been saved.
Silicon chip is the carrier of solar battery sheet, is needed before the boron diffusing procedure of solar cell is made to N-type silicon chip Si wafer quality is detected, afterwards etched away the damage pollution layer of silicon chip surface, using the anisotropic etch of silicon, in silicon chip Surface forms up-and-down matte.Due to incident light on surface by multiple reflections and refraction, matte can increase the suction of light Receive, improve the short circuit current flow and conversion efficiency of battery.Silicon chip is washed and pickling after making herbs into wool, to remove silicon chip surface Metal impurities, it is preferred to use do not influence silicon chip boron diffusion effect and can be the chemical combination for being dissolved in water by silicon chip surface converting metal impurities The reagent of thing is cleaned to silicon chip, preferably to remove the metal impurities of silicon chip surface residual.Because silicon chip surface The presence of metal impurities can influence boron at high temperature to the diffusion inside silicon chip, be formed in Carrier recombination center, reduction silicon chip The life-span of the few son in portion, and then reduce the photoelectric transformation efficiency of N-type solar cell.Silicon chip after making herbs into wool is cleaned is put into diffusion furnace Quartz boat in, there is in one quartz boat cutting, silicon chip is put into the cutting of quartz boat and make it that silicon chip is placed vertically, with guarantor Demonstrate,prove the uniformity and yield rate of boron diffusion.
Silicon chip is warming up to depositing temperature, after after equitemperature stable a few minutes, starts to be passed through nitrogen, oxygen and boron source to silicon Piece surface is deposited.Boron tribromide mainly has cost relatively as boron source in view of Boron tribromide employed in it The of a relatively high advantage of low, purity.Boron tribromide is liquid under normal temperature and pressure, and one carries Boron tribromide using nitrogen and entered In diffusion furnace, wherein boron source flow is the nitrogen flow for referring to carry Boron tribromide.
In order that obtaining in boiler tube, two-part mixed gas is evenly distributed unanimously up and down, largely improves away from boron source The temperature control of deposition phase deposits is 890 DEG C~940 DEG C by the sheet resistance uniformity of silicon chip at the fire door region in area, the present invention, The time control of deposition is 15~40 minutes, and the control of the flow of nitrogen is 22~24slm, the flow control of oxygen for 30sccm~ 320sccm, the flow control of boron source is 120sccm~1000sccm.Wherein depositing temperature can influence silicon chip surface post-depositional The thickness of boron atom concentration and b-rich layer, if depositing temperature is higher than 940 DEG C, can cause on the silicon chip surface in boron source region The boron atom concentration of deposition is higher, and the concentration of boron atom is relatively low on the silicon chip surface away from boron source region, causes identical boiler tube Sheet resistance difference is larger after the silicon chip diffusion of interior different warm areas;If depositing temperature is less than 890 DEG C, the anti-of boron source and oxygen can be caused Answer speed slower, cause the process time to extend so that the boron atom concentration reduction of silicon chip surface deposition, made within the defined time Into the waste of part boron source.
If sedimentation time is more than 40 minutes in above-mentioned deposition temperature range, boron atom diffusion inside silicon chip can be caused dense Degree is larger, and the P-N junction of formation is deeper, and the destruction to silicon chip internal crystal framework is aggravated;If sedimentation time is less than 10 minutes, can Cause the sheet resistance uniformity on surface after silicon chip diffusion poor, and diffusion depth is shallower, the boron atom diffusion concentration on surface is larger.Cause This, the present invention considers, and it is 15 that depositing temperature, which is controlled simultaneously to control sedimentation time in the range of 890 DEG C~940 DEG C, ~40 minutes, surface boron atomic concentration was relatively low after being spread, the preferable boron diffusion silicon chip of inner homogeneous.
The present invention is by nitrogen flow control in 22~24slm, and oxygen flux control is in 30sccm~320sccm, boron source stream Amount control is in 120sccm~1000sccm.Wherein the size of nitrogen flow mainly influences the silicon chip sheet resistance away from boron source region, such as Fruit nitrogen flow is more than 24slm, then the boron source of source region can be caused to be advanced near fire door, cause the silicon in quartz boat The boron source deposited on piece is relatively low, and only silicon chip edge position has a small amount of boron source, and intervening deposition amount is lower, diffused sheet resistance it is uniform Property is poor;If nitrogen flow is less than 22slm, the boron atom concentration in fire door area can be caused relatively low, cause the uniform of diffused sheet resistance Property is poor.If the flow of oxygen is more than 320sccm, the Pyrex of generation can be caused blocked up, and cause to expand inside silicon chip Dissipate the boron atom concentration entered smaller;If the flow of oxygen be less than 30sccm, can cause generation boron oxide level it is relatively low and Boron source can not react completely, but be discharged in the form of tail gas, cause the waste of boron source.If boron source flow is more than 1000sccm, then can lead to not reaction completely because boron source flow is excessive so that excessive boron source easily with quartz boat or boiler tube Inwall reacts, the material such as generation boron oxide, causes the waste of boron source, and etch quartz boat and boiler tube;If boron source flow is less than 120sccm, then can cause silicon chip spread after sheet resistance uniformity it is very poor, the boron atom concentration of silicon chip surface is less.
Through considering, the present invention by the flow restriction of nitrogen, oxygen and boron source within the above range, largely Reduce silicon chip surface boron atom concentration, diffusion after silicon chip recombination-rate surface and the lattice damage of silicon chip surface, compared with The poor defect of boron diffused sheet resistance uniformity is improved well, so as to obtain the more uniform p-n junction of distribution, adds silicon chip Minority carrier lifetime, significantly improve the conversion efficiency of battery.Using the low temperature depositing with condition in above range And high-temperature diffusion process, significantly improve the conversion efficiency of battery.
Preferably, in the depositional phase, the temperature of deposition is 900 DEG C~930 DEG C, and the time of deposition is 20~30 minutes, nitrogen The flow of gas is 22~23slm, and the flow of oxygen is 30sccm~100sccm, and the flow of boron source is 120sccm~450sccm. Most preferably, in the depositional phase, the temperature of deposition is 925 DEG C, and the time of deposition is 25 minutes, and the flow of nitrogen is 22.5slm, The flow of oxygen is 65ccm, and the flow of boron source is 200sccm.
Because solid solubility of the boron atom in crystalline silicon is far below the solid solubility of phosphorus atoms, it can pass through in low temperature depositing Temperature is controlled to control the deposited concentration of silicon chip surface.The Boron tribromide being passed through generates boron oxide and bromine gas with oxygen reaction, and Boron oxide and silicon atom reaction generation boron atom and silica, the boron-rich area of silicon chip surface one floor of formation of low temperature depositing, surface is in It is light brown, and thickness is in tens nanometer ranges.In the depositional phase, there is also a small amount of boron source showing to silicon chip diffusion inside As, but be due to that temperature is relatively low, diffusion rate is slower, and one is ignored.
In order that must be enriched in b-rich layer thicker on silicon chip surface continues uniform to form sheet resistance to silicon chip diffusion inside P-n junction, complete surface deposition after, the post-depositional silicon chip in surface is warming up to 950 DEG C~1000 DEG C with 5~15 DEG C/min, Constant temperature spreads 20~30 minutes.Stop being passed through boron source in heating and constant temperature diffusion process, and keep same with the depositional phase Nitrogen flow, continue to be passed through the oxygen that flow is 30~1000sccm, the purpose for continuing to be passed through oxygen is easy to control silicon chip table The degree of oxidation in face, be conducive to increase silicon chip surface Pyrex uniformity, by the flow of oxygen from the depositional phase when 30 ~320sccm increases are 30~1000sccm, and remaining boron source is further reacted after the oxygen and deposition of big flow, are conducive to pair Make up after deposition on silicon chip surface the problem of Pyrex uneven distribution.
It is higher than 15 DEG C/min if up speed, then Quartz stove tube can be caused because the coefficient of expansion is different and crackle occur; If heating rate is less than 5 DEG C/min, the process time can be extended.If diffusion temperature is higher than 1000 DEG C, it can cause big Measure boron atom to enter inside silicon chip, increase the concentration of boron atom at its internal lattice defect, increase complex centre;If diffusion Temperature is less than 950 DEG C, then the concentration of boron atom inside silicon chip can be caused too low, be unfavorable for setting up stronger built in field so that The migration velocity of carrier is restricted, so as to add the recombination probability of carrier.Therefore, through considering, the present invention is with 5 The post-depositional silicon chip in surface is warming up to 950 DEG C~1000 DEG C by~15 DEG C/min.It is further preferred that in a nitrogen atmosphere, with The post-depositional silicon chip in surface is warming up to 980 DEG C, constant temperature diffusion into the surface 25 minutes by 10 DEG C/min.
Boron diffusion method after being improved using the present invention, and by oxygen and Boron tribromide flow, nitrogen flow and sink Product and the time control of diffusion can be obtained by the silicon chip with uniform sheet resistance within the above range, while reducing silicon chip surface B-rich layer, reduce the recombination rate of silicon chip surface carrier, improve the conversion efficiency of battery.
After diffusion is finished, silicon chip is cooled to 750 DEG C~850 DEG C, preferably 800 DEG C, and to stove during cooling Nitrogen is passed through in pipe and oxygen is aoxidized to silicon chip.Wherein rate of temperature fall is 4~5.2 DEG C/min, nitrogen in temperature-fall period Flow is 5~10slm, and the flow of oxygen is 10~20slm.In the rear oxidation stage, the effect of nitrogen is to promote and transport other Gas, the effect of oxygen is the b-rich layer reaction generation Pyrex with silicon chip surface, to reduce the dense of silicon chip surface boron atom Degree.If stopping being passed through oxygen in follow-up temperature-fall period, the concentration of silicon chip surface boron atom can not be reduced, and then can not reduce The thickness of the b-rich layer of silicon chip surface, so that thicker b-rich layer is not thorough in wet chemical technology removal, and then reduces Solar cell opens piezoelectricity pressure, short circuit current flow and fill factor, curve factor.The present invention in the rear oxidation stage by reducing the boron of silicon chip surface Atomic concentration, is conducive to matching subsequent wet chemical technique.
The boiler tube of diffusion furnace of the present invention is divided into five warm areas, i.e. the first humidity province to the from boiler tube door area to boiler tube source region Five humidity provinces, the different rate of temperature fall in cooling according to humidity province are also different.Preferably, the rate of temperature fall of the first humidity province is 4.7~5.2 DEG C/min, the rate of temperature fall in second temperature area is 4.5~4.7 DEG C/min, and the rate of temperature fall of the 3rd humidity province is 4.3~4.5 DEG C/min, the rate of temperature fall of the 4th humidity province is 4.15~4.3 DEG C/min, and the rate of temperature fall of the 5th humidity province is 4 DEG C/min.Using contributing to control the uniformity of silicon chip in each warm area in oxidizing process by the way of subregion cools.
