Alternatively, described silicon chip can be the one in n type single crystal silicon, p type single crystal silicon, N-type polysilicon, P type polysilicon.
The production equipment of described silicon based hetero-junction solar cell comprises into sheet chamber and deposit cavity, described deposit cavity is vacuum environment, its number is at least one, in described deposit cavity, be provided with the heater that silicon chip is heat-treated, the mode of heating of described heater can be resistance heating, infrared heating, induction heating etc.
Preferably, adopt resistance heating mode to heat.
For step S2, described wet-chemical cleaning mode comprises that employing acid solution or aqueous slkali clean described silicon chip, described acid solution can be a kind of or its combination in HNO3, HF, HCL, described aqueous slkali can be a kind of or its combination in NaOH, KOH, the compressed air that described drying means can adopt heating or not heat, nitrogen, one or several gases in argon gas are dried.
For step S3, after entering in sheet chamber described in described silicon chip is transferred to, to described enter sheet chamber vacuumize, air pressure is at least down to below 1mbar.
For step S4, described silica-base film can be the films such as amorphous silicon membrane, microcrystalline silicon film, Nano thin film, silicon oxide film, silicon oxynitride film, carborundum films, silicon nitride film.
Preferably, described for amorphous silicon membrane can be the one in intrinsic amorphous silicon film, P type amorphous silicon membrane or N-type amorphous silicon membrane.
Described deposit cavity is vacuum environment, and the temperature of described heater is set in advance as to the technological temperature higher than described silica-base film, and particularly, the technological temperature of described silica-base film is 150-320 DEG C.Particularly, the temperature of described heater is set in advance as 180 DEG C-350 DEG C.
Preferably, the technological temperature of described silica-base film is 150 DEG C, and described heter temperature is set in advance as 200 DEG C.
Alternatively, the thickness range of described silica-base film is 2-20nm.
Alternatively, if heter temperature is set in advance as and equals described silica-base film technological temperature, silicon chip surface temperature is heated to the time of this technological temperature and with the scope of utilizing chemical gaseous phase depositing process to prepare the ratio of the time of this film is: 4/1-12/1.
For step S5, in the time that the described silicon chip surface temperature of heating reaches the technological temperature of described silica-base film, in described deposit cavity, utilize chemical gaseous phase depositing process to prepare described silica-base film.
Alternatively, in the time period after described silicon chip is transferred in described deposit cavity and before carrying out chemical vapour deposition (CVD), to a kind of gas or several gas that pass in described deposit cavity in the hydrogen, nitrogen, argon gas of good heat conductivity
Particularly, in the present embodiment, the initial temperature of described silicon chip in deposit cavity is 25 DEG C of room temperatures, and the technological temperature of described silica-base film is 150 DEG C, described silica-base film is intrinsic amorphous silicon film, the new technology respectively the present invention being disclosed and the production capacity of traditional handicraft is compared to explanation below.
Figure 4 shows that the temperature variation curve of silicon chip surface in the interior new old technology of deposit cavity, what solid line represented is novel process of the present invention, the temperature of its heater is set in advance as 200 DEG C, higher than the technological temperature for the treatment of 150 DEG C of deposit films, dotted line represents traditional handicraft, and its heter temperature is set in advance as 150 DEG C of technological temperatures that equal to treat deposit film.Can find out, in traditional handicraft, because the temperature that presets of heater is technological temperature, and prior figures 2 shows that silicon chip surface temperature rising rule is: more approach heater design temperature and heat up slower, so silicon chip surface can only be longer time t3(approximately 500 seconds) reach technological temperature, and after PECVD overlay film process in, because the thickness for the treatment of depositing silicon base film only has nanometer scale, so the heavy film time t4-t3 of this PECVD is approximately 60 seconds, described like this silicon chip has to consume the 560-600 time of second in deposit cavity, the overlong time that described silicon chip surface temperature is heated to technological temperature becomes limiting device and has the bottleneck of higher production capacity.
In the disclosed novel process of the present invention, the temperature of heater is set in advance as to 200 DEG C, exceed 50 DEG C than its 150 DEG C pending technological temperature, due to the temperature difference existing between this heater and silicon chip, make silicon chip surface reach technological temperature in shorter time t1 (approximately 60 seconds), then in PECVD overlay film process, because the needed time t2-t1 of silica-base film of depositing nano magnitude is also about 60 seconds, the time span that both consume is substantially suitable, therefore the time that silicon chip is heated to technological temperature no longer becomes the bottleneck of limiting device production capacity, the total processing time of described silicon chip in deposit cavity can foreshorten to 120-150 second, thereby in the present invention, the processing time length of silicon chip in deposit cavity can be only traditional handicraft time 1/4-1/5 used, correspondingly, the production capacity of equipment has just improved 4-5 doubly.
It is pointed out that, owing to existing uniform temperature poor between described heater and described silicon chip, so silicon chip surface carries out in the process of overlay film, described silicon chip surface temperature not keeps constant, and can continue to increase.But on the other hand, owing to treating that very thin thickness, the overlay film time of deposit film are very short, so within the approximately 60 second time of PECVD overlay film, described silicon chip surface temperature rising difference is less than 10 DEG C, the amplitude of this increase can not affect film-forming process and the quality of forming film of PECVD substantially, therefore novel process provided by the present invention can ensure under the prerequisite of compound film quality and coating technique, make silicon chip reach technological temperature within the shorter time, thereby save the processing time of silicon chip in deposit cavity, improved the production capacity of equipment.In addition, in the present embodiment, because heating process is carried out in deposit cavity, just without additional configuration heating in vacuum chamber again, thereby also can save equipment cost.

Preferably, the technological temperature of intrinsic amorphous silicon film is 140 DEG C, and the technological temperature of P type amorphous silicon membrane is 180 DEG C, and the temperature of heater is set in advance as 220 DEG C.Figure 6 shows that the time variation diagram of the interior deposition intrinsic amorphous silicon membrane of same deposit cavity and doped amorphous silicon film, find out accordingly, be transferred to while starting to heat from 25 DEG C of room temperatures in described deposit cavity at silicon chip, the temperature of described silicon chip can first elapsed time t1(approximately 60 seconds) rise to 140 DEG C of the technological temperatures of intrinsic amorphous silicon film, and start the depositing operation of intrinsic amorphous silicon film, through t2-t1(approximately 60 seconds) time complete the preparation of described intrinsic amorphous silicon layer film.Complete after the preparation of described intrinsic amorphous silicon film, stop this PECVD process, wait for that described silicon temperature continues to raise until reach 180 DEG C of the technological temperatures of described P type amorphous silicon membrane, the time span of described wait is t5-t2 (approximately 200 seconds), and then start at described intrinsic amorphous silicon surface preparation P type amorphous silicon membrane, this preparation time is t6-t5(approximately 200 seconds).Finally, the total processing time of described silicon chip in deposit cavity is altogether 520 seconds.And in traditional handicraft, need deposition intrinsic amorphous silicon membrane and P type amorphous silicon membrane in two deposit cavities respectively, now the total processing time of described silicon chip in deposit cavity approximately needs 1000 seconds.New old technology is compared and can be found out, all there is temperature difference by utilizing between heater and various different process temperature in new technology provided by the invention, no matter make silicon chip be heated to which kind of technological temperature, all can reach with speed faster, play the object of saving the silicon chip processing time in deposit cavity, improving equipment capacity, on the other hand, because the method does not need silicon chip frequent transmission between different deposit cavities, therefore also can reduce the cross pollution between cracked risk and vacuum environment and the atmosphere of transmitting procedure silicon chip.
In addition, with reason same in embodiment, owing to existing uniform temperature poor between described heater and described silicon chip, so silicon chip surface carries out in the process of overlay film, described silicon chip surface temperature can continue to increase.Again owing to treating that very thin thickness, the overlay film time of deposit film are very short, so in the PECVD of intrinsic amorphous silicon and doped amorphous silicon film method preparation process, described silicon chip surface temperature rising difference is all less than 10 DEG C, the amplitude of this increase can not affect film-forming process and the quality of forming film of PECVD substantially, and therefore novel process provided by the present invention can also ensure compound film quality and coating technique in improving equipment capacity.
