Description

Preparation method of ultrathin oxygen-containing nitrogen-silicon film and application of ultrathin oxygen-containing nitrogen-silicon film in passivation contact battery
Technical Field
The invention relates to a solar cell manufacturing technology, in particular to a preparation method of a passivation contact structure.
Background
In 2013, german institute of ferhough proposed a crystalline silicon solar cell, whose n-type cell is typically structured as shown in fig. 1, and the cell is called a polysilicon passivation contact technology (poly-Si passivation contact technology). The core of the structure is to passivate the surface of the silicon wafer by adopting an ultrathin silicon oxide layer and doped polysilicon laminated structure.
The passivation mechanism of the tunneling silicon oxide passivation contact structure mainly derives from two aspects: the chemical passivation of the interface silicon oxide layer and the field passivation of the doping atoms. Improving the integrity of the interface silicon oxide is beneficial to improving the chemical passivation effect of the surface.
For the tunneling silicon oxide passivation contact technology, n-type phosphorus doped polysilicon films are adopted for electron collection, and p-type boron doped polysilicon films are adopted for hole collection. The n-type passivation contact technology has good effect and is widely accepted as a next-generation industrial high-efficiency crystalline silicon battery technology.
Currently, the bottleneck of Poly-Si passivation contact technology is mainly in the p-type. The p-type passivation contact technology has poor technical indexes and is characterized by poor passivation quality. Generally, J 0s >20fA/cm 2 ,iV oc <680mV (n-type silicon wafer substrate). It is generally believed that the main reasons for the poor p-type passivation contact technology are two: firstly, the boron concentration in the polysilicon is low, and secondly, the interface silicon oxide is easily damaged by the diffusion of boron.
In contrast, the n-type Poly-Si passivation contact technology has much more reliable quality, high technical index and good passivation quality, and can easily realize single-sided saturated dark current J on different devices 0s <8fA/cm 2 Corresponding hidden open circuit voltage iV oc >Excellent index of 730mV (n-type silicon wafer substrate); low p at the same time contact resistivity c <10mΩcm 2 . The mass production verification phase has now begun.
Thus, improving the passivation quality of p-type Poly-Si passivation contact technology is an important issue that currently needs to be overcome. The passivation quality of the p-type Poly-Si passivation contact technology is improved, and the further development of the technology is promoted. Wherein, the improvement of the integrality of the interface silicon oxide is very favorable for improving the passivation effect of the interface.

Detailed Description
The specific operation and principles of the present invention will be further described with reference to the following detailed description.
The invention provides a method for preparing an ultrathin oxygen-containing nitrogen-silicon film in situ, taking a nitrogen-oxygen-nitrogen-containing film as an example, adopting a nitrogen-oxygen-nitrogen-silicon interface material is beneficial to improving the passivation quality of p-type Poly-Si passivation contact, and the basic principle is as follows: 1) Compared with silicon oxide, the boron in the nitrogen-oxygen-nitrogen-silicon layer has low diffusion rate and low solid solubility, so that the damage of the boron to the interface nitrogen-oxygen-nitrogen-silicon layer is effectively reduced, the integrity of the nitrogen-oxygen-nitrogen-silicon layer is improved, and the chemical passivation effect is maintained; 2) The energy band structure of the nitrogen-oxygen-nitrogen-silicon layer is close to that of silicon nitride, the valence band step is smaller, the hole transmission is facilitated, the hole transmission efficiency and the hole selectivity are improved, and therefore passivation quality is improved; while also facilitating a reduction in contact resistivity. Therefore, the invention adopts the oxynitride to replace silicon oxide, inhibits the damage of boron to the interface tunneling layer, improves the integrity of the interface tunneling layer, and improves passivation quality compared with the conventional silicon oxide interface layer by adopting the p-type Poly-Si passivation contact technology of the oxynitride interface layer; secondly, nitrogen oxygen nitrogen silicon is used as an interface layer, so that the contact resistivity of the p-type Poly-Si passivation contact structure can be reduced; the nitrogen oxide nitrogen silicon is denser than silicon oxide, has higher thickness and can bear higher annealing treatment; and finally, the nitrogen-oxygen-nitrogen-silicon material has reliable performance, simple preparation method, is suitable for in-situ preparation of PECVD equipment, has good industrialized application prospect, and is not only suitable for p-type Poly-Si passivation contact technology, but also can be used for n-type Poly-Si passivation contact technology.
In the preparation process, the key is to form the nitrogen-oxygen-nitrogen-silicon film material with gradient distribution of components. The distribution of the components of the oxynitride silicon material is as follows: the nitrogen is mainly concentrated at the near-surface layer and the near-silicon interface, and the concentration distribution of main elements of the film material from the surface to the silicon substrate shows the rule of nitrogen-oxygen-nitrogen. Therefore, the invention firstly uses PECVD to carry out nitriding treatment on the surface of the silicon wafer; surface oxidation treatment is required after surface nitridation to form silicon oxynitride; and finally, repeatedly carrying out surface nitridation treatment to form the nitrogen-oxygen-nitrogen-silicon layer. This treatment has the advantage of enriching nitrogen as much as possible in the surface sites and near-silicon interface sites. The components of the nitrogen-oxygen-nitrogen-silicon film are characterized in that the nitrogen is enriched in the two positions as far as possible: the nitrogen concentration is in high-low-high distribution from the nitrogen-oxygen-nitrogen silicon to the silicon direction, namely the nitrogen impurity concentration at the near-silicon surface layer and the film surface is high, the middle is lower, the nitrogen content of the high concentration area is not lower than 30at%, and the nitrogen content of the low concentration area is not lower than 8at%; in addition, the nitrogen is permeated into one side of the nitrogen-oxygen-nitrogen film/silicon interface, the depth is usually not more than 5nm, the concentration gradually decreases from the interface to the inside of the silicon wafer, and the near-surface concentration is not less than 1at%, thereby being beneficial to improving the blocking effect of the material on boron element.
