Description

Method for texturing on surface of single crystal silicon by using tetramethylguanidine organic alkali
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of photovoltaics, and particularly relates to a method for texture surface making of a monocrystalline silicon wafer by using tetramethylguanidine organic alkali.
Background
The texture characteristic of the monocrystalline silicon solar cell is one of important factors influencing the conversion efficiency of the monocrystalline silicon solar cell. The existing texturing methods include: chemical etching, reactive ion etching, photolithography, mechanical grooving, and the like. Among the above methods, mechanical grooving is to simultaneously form V-grooves on the surface of polysilicon by using a plurality of blades to reduce optical reflection. Although the method has the advantages of simple process and high grooving speed, the mechanical grooving is deep, requires a thicker silicon wafer and is not suitable for manufacturing a thin-substrate solar cell. Meanwhile, in the etching process, the surface of the silicon wafer can be damaged, and impurities can be introduced. The reactive ion etching method is also called plasma etching, and is a dry etching process which adopts low-pressure gas to generate plasma and utilizes a physical mechanism to assist chemical etching or generates reactive ions to participate in chemical etching. The reflectivity of the formed texture is particularly low, the reflectivity in the spectral range of 450 to 1000nm can be less than 2%, but the silicon surface is seriously damaged, the open-circuit voltage and the filling factor of the battery can be reduced, and in addition, the defects of low yield and high manufacturing cost are realized. The chemical etching method generally uses a mixed solution of alkali (NaOH or KOH) alcohol (isopropanol or ethanol) as an etching system. Wherein, the alkali is a corrosive agent used for corroding the silicon chip, and the alcohol is a defoaming agent used for removing hydrogen bubbles generated by the reaction.
The formation of "pyramids" is due to the anisotropic reaction of the base with silicon. In a certain concentration of alkali solution, OH-The reaction speed of the ions and the (100) surface of the silicon is several times or even dozens of times faster than that of the (111) surface, the corrosion reaction starts from the (100) surface, and finally, staggered (111) crystal surfaces are exposed, so that a plurality of tetrahedral pyramids, commonly called pyramid structures, are formed on the surface of the silicon wafer.
At present, the most persuasive model for texturing monocrystalline silicon is an electrochemical model. The main principle of the model is that the anisotropic etching of silicon by alkali is mainly caused by the difference of dangling bond density and back bond structure and energy level of the silicon surface. During the whole etching process, the first 4 OH groups-Ions react with silicon on one surface while OH-The ions combine with unpaired electrons on the surface of the silicon wafer to form Si-O bonds. Since the energy level of electrons on the dangling bond is relatively high, the reaction proceeds further as the reaction proceeds by thermally exciting the electrons into the conduction band. And the electrons entering the conduction band neutralize H in solution2O reacts to form new OH-And H2. The entire reaction can be simply written as:
Si+2OH-+2H2O→SiO2(OH)2 2-+2H2
the pyramid structure is mainly increased by two refractions of light rays in the pyramid structureThe times of light absorption are increased, so that the light absorption rate of the silicon chip is increased, and the reflectivity of the surface of the silicon chip is reduced. Has extremely wide application in the field of solar cells. Most of the existing texturing methods use inorganic alkali to provide OH-Ionic. The commonly used inorganic alkali mainly comprises KOH, NaOH and the like, so that a large amount of metal ions exist in the texturing solution, the existence of the metal ions has certain influence on the minority carrier lifetime of the silicon wafer, and the influence of the metal ions is particularly important in the manufacturing process of a high-efficiency solar cell. Therefore, in recent years, organic alkali texturing solutions have come into widespread use. Another major reason organic bases begin to dominate the market for texturing solutions is the treatment of waste streams. Along with the increasing importance of our country on environmental protection in recent years, the treatment of waste liquid in the process of making herbs into wool also becomes another important principle for people to select the making herbs into wool.
