Detailed Description
A silicon nitride film is deposited on the surface of a solar cell by a Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) technology, the working principle is that high-frequency current ionizes gas containing film constituent atoms to form plasma locally, and the plasma with strong chemical activity is easy to react to form a required film on a substrate. The reflection of sunlight on the surface of the silicon wafer can be well reduced, and the reflectivity is reduced. The graphite boat is saturated before the process, and the effect is to deposit a layer of silicon nitride film on the inner wall of the graphite boat, so that all the positions of the inner wall are in a silicon nitride state, the silicon nitride deposition rates at all the positions in the graphite boat tend to be consistent, and the flatness of the inner wall of the graphite boat is consistent. The saturation process is used for depositing a layer of silicon nitride film on the inner wall of the graphite boat, so that all parts of the inner wall are in a silicon nitride state, the silicon nitride deposition rates of all parts in the graphite boat tend to be consistent, the flatness of the inner wall of the graphite boat is consistent, the electric field distribution is uneven due to different flatness, the coating is theoretically uneven, the surface area of the inner wall is changed due to different flatness, the saturation degree is insufficient, and the color difference plate is generated.

Under the premise of ensuring that the conversion efficiency of the battery is not lower than that of the prior art, the process parameter is changed, so that the EL black spot of the first silicon slice after Maya maintenance reaches the level equal to that of a production line.
The first air passage and the second air passage in the alumina reaction chamber provide laughing gas, TMA and argon, wherein the laughing gas is nitrous oxide with the molecular formula of N2And 0, ionizing laughing gas under the action of radio frequency, and then cleaning the surface of the silicon wafer. TMA is trimethylaluminum with molecular formula of Al (CH)3)3After ionization, TMA and laughing gas are subjected to chemical reaction, and an aluminum oxide film is deposited on the surface of the silicon wafer, wherein the specific reaction is as follows:
2Al(CH3)3+3N20→Al2O3+3N2+2CH4+C+1/2H2

step 2, setting the process belt speed of an alumina reaction chamber to be 185cm/min, setting the temperature of the alumina reaction chamber to be 500 ℃, setting the pressure of the alumina reaction chamber to be 0.14mbar, setting the temperature of a silicon nitride reaction chamber to be 300 ℃, and setting the pressure of the silicon nitride reaction chamber to be 0.14 mbar;
step 3, setting flow parameters, wherein the alumina reaction chamber comprises a first gas path and a second gas path, setting the laughing gas flow of the first gas path as 850sccm, setting the TMA flow as 0mg/min, setting the argon flow as 0sccm, setting the laughing gas flow of the second gas path as 850sccm, setting the TMA flow as 0mg/min, and setting the argon flow as 0 sccm;

and 6, saturating the machine, and saturating the Maya PECVD machine for 1 hour under the parameter condition.
Effect of various parameters on machine saturation:
(1) reaction chamber temperature: because the adnexed alumina powder of alumina storehouse body can adsorb steam during maintenance, steam decomposes into H ion and hydroxyl in the operation technology, gets into the ALOx rete, and the hydroxyl is absorbed the back by ALOx, and the H ion of positive charge and the ALOx of negative charge form the inward electric field, influence ALOx's back passivation effect, it can cause EL black spot black to appear under the EL to appear blacking, is favorable to the steam evaporation when saturation technology operation with the temperature increase, like this can be along with the vacuum pump is discharged outside the storehouse body. Theoretically, the higher the temperature of the saturation process is, the more favorable the evaporation and the discharge of the water vapor are, and due to the problem of the hardware of the machine station, if the temperature is too high, the heating plate of the machine station is deformed, and the stability of the machine station is affected, so the temperature of the saturation process is not suitable to exceed 450 ℃.
(2) Reaction power: the improvement of the power is more beneficial to the ionization of laughing gas to generate plasma, but if the power is too high, the sealing ring of the quartz tube is easily damaged, and the maximum value 2800 is selected as an experimental example, no matter the power is not more than 2800W.
(3) Laughing gas flow rate: 1, carbon is generated by reaction of laughing gas and TMA in a normal process, EL black spots of the cell can be caused by the existence of the carbon, and the carbon is oxidized to generate carbon dioxide and is exhausted out of the chamber through a vacuum pump when a saturated process is operated. 2, laughing gas can produce plasma through the ionization, and plasma has the bombardment effect to adnexed impurity on the cavity, and impurity can drop gradually along with the bombardment of plasma, also can pass through the vacuum pump discharge chamber outside simultaneously.
(4) TMA and argon flow were zero: if the saturated process is introduced into TMA, the saturated process reacts with laughing gas to produce aluminum oxide, the cleaning effect of the laughing gas on the bin body is influenced, in addition, TMA exists in a liquid form under normal pressure, and the TMA is carried in through argon when entering the alumina bin, so if the TMA flow is set to be 0, the argon flow also needs to be set to be 0.
The experimental contents are as follows: 5000 pieces in the previous process are subjected to piece division treatment and are divided into five 1000 pieces again, a Maya machine station is maintained, the bin body of the Maya machine station is saturated for 1 hour by adopting the embodiment 1, the embodiment 2, the embodiment 3, the embodiment 4 and the embodiment 5, 1000 pieces are produced after the Maya machine station is saturated, the five 1000 pieces are downloaded to the same path after the production is finished, the proportion of the EL black spots and the black spots is counted after screen printing, and the proportion of the EL black spots and the black spots is reduced by about 50 percent compared with that of the original process through tracking for 8 times.
Experimental data table 1:
Figure GDA0002803287830000111
it is clear from comparison of examples 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5 that the ratio of the EL black spots can be greatly reduced by increasing the temperature, increasing the power, increasing the laughing gas flow rate, and adjusting the TMA and argon flow rates to zero, while the parameter of example 4 is set to the optimized parameter setting.
Finally, it should be noted that: although the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the foregoing embodiments, it will be apparent to those skilled in the art that modifications may be made to the embodiments or portions thereof without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
