Description

Method for removing front-side polycrystalline silicon by winding plating
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of solar cells, in particular to a method for removing front-side polycrystalline silicon by winding plating.
Background
In the crystalline silicon solar cell, the metal-semiconductor contact region has serious recombination, and becomes an important factor for restricting the efficiency development of the crystalline silicon solar cell. The tunneling oxide layer passivation metal contact structure is composed of an ultrathin tunneling oxide layer and a doped polycrystalline silicon layer, can remarkably reduce the composition of a metal contact area, has good contact performance, and can greatly improve the efficiency of a solar cell. In order to evaluate the efficiency potential of the current commercial high-efficiency cell, such as PERC, HIT, passivated contact cell, etc., german institute of known solar energy (ISFH) in 2019, Silicon PV reported that the theoretical efficiency limits of solar cells of different structures were carefully analyzed theoretically based on the concept of carrier selectivity, concluding that passivated contact cells (such as TOPCon cells) have a much higher efficiency limit (28.2% to 28.7%), a limit efficiency 27.5% higher than that of HIT cells, a limit efficiency 24.5% higher than that of PERC cells, and a theoretical limit efficiency 29.43% closest to that of crystalline Silicon solar cells.
At present, many manufacturers use LPCVD and PECVD equipment to prepare a tunneling oxide layer and a doped polysilicon layer in the production process of a battery, silane gas is introduced into the equipment, two silicon wafers are inserted into the same metal boat groove in a face-to-face manner, the silane gas is inevitably coated on the front side of the silicon wafers due to inconsistent adhesion tightness of the silicon wafers, and the coating area can bring the following influences on the performance of the battery:
1) the color difference exists between the winding plating area and the non-winding plating area, and the appearance of the battery is poor due to obvious color difference after film plating;
2) the polysilicon in the plating winding area has strong light absorption capacity, which is not beneficial to the absorption of the cell to light and causes the reduction of efficiency;
3) the polysilicon in the plating winding area influences the burning-through effect of the slurry, so that the filling factor of the battery is reduced, and the efficiency is reduced;
4) the passivation effect of the plating area is poor, and the plating area is blackened, so that the yield of the battery piece is influenced.
At present, four methods are mainly used for removing the polysilicon coil plating:
1. with HF and HNO3The mixed acid system is used for removing the polysilicon wound and plated on the front surface of the silicon chip, and the method needs pure HF and HNO3After 8 ten thousand of battery pieces are cleaned, the cleaning effect is poor, the product yield is greatly reduced, and if more battery pieces need to be cleaned, the solution needs to be replaced, so that the cost is high.
2. The inorganic alkali (potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide) is used for removing the polysilicon on the front surface of the silicon wafer in the winding plating process, the reaction rate of the solution is too high, the cleaning effect cannot be controlled, the requirement on the incoming material winding plating is high, a p + layer is easily damaged by chemicals, the process window is narrow, and the fluctuation of the yield and the efficiency during mass production is large.
3. By SiO2Or SiNXAs the mask is made, the method needs to add two process steps of mask plating and mask post-cleaning, needs to add machine equipment and improves the process cost.
4. The phosphorosilicate glass layer is used as a mask, high requirements are put forward for an etching process, the phosphorosilicate glass layer on the edge of the front side of the silicon wafer is difficult to completely reserve in the etching process, and if the phosphorosilicate glass layer on the edge of the silicon wafer is not reserved well, the phosphorosilicate glass layer cannot play a role of a barrier layer in the process of removing polycrystalline silicon by subsequent alkali solution in a winding and plating process, so that the problem of electric leakage of a battery piece cannot be controlled.
