Description

Device for preparing passivation film layer of Topcon battery and process flow thereof
Device for preparing passivation film layer of Topcon battery and process flow thereof
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of solar cell coating, in particular to a device for preparing a passivation film layer of a Topcon cell and a process flow thereof.
Background
Passivation tunneling silicon dioxide (SiO) layer for preparing Topcon solar cell on current market2) And the doped polycrystalline silicon film layer is mainly prepared by LPCVD equipment, tubular PEALD equipment and tubular PECVD equipment are adopted, and linear transmission plate type PECVD equipment is adopted.
The preparation method by adopting LPCVD equipment comprises the following steps: placing a silicon wafer in a quartz boat, transferring the quartz boat into a high-temperature quartz tube, vacuumizing the quartz tube, introducing process gas into the quartz boat, oxidizing the surface of the silicon wafer with high temperature to form a silicon dioxide layer film, and decomposing SiH at high temperature4Gas in SiO2And depositing amorphous and polycrystalline silicon film layer on the surface. The temperature and energy consumption required by the preparation of the LPCVD equipment are high, the process temperature is higher than 600 ℃, the quality of the silicon wafer can be damaged by the long-time high temperature, and meanwhile, the winding plating phenomenon is very serious when the LPCVD equipment is used for coating, so that the difficulty of the subsequent etching process is increased, the production yield is reduced, and the production cost is increased. When LPCVD equipment is used for preparing doped amorphous silicon and doped polysilicon, the coating rate is very low, and the doping uniformity is poor, so an off-line doping mode is generally adopted, that is, after a silicon dioxide layer and undoped amorphous silicon and undoped polysilicon are prepared by LPCVD, a diffusion furnace or ion implantation equipment is additionally adopted to dope the amorphous silicon film layer and the microcrystalline silicon film layer, and then high-temperature annealing is carried out to activate doping elements and form a polysilicon film with high crystallization rate, so that the process steps are increased, and the equipment cost is also increased.
The method for preparing the SiO2 and the doped polysilicon film layer by adopting the tubular PEALD and tubular PECVD equipment comprises the following steps: placing a silicon wafer in a graphite boat, then sending the silicon wafer into a tubular cavity, vacuumizing the cavity and heating the graphite boat and the silicon wafer; the graphite boat is connected with a power supply, every two boat sheets form a positive electrode and a negative electrode, process gas is introduced, and the power supply is turned on, so that plasma can be formed between the graphite boat sheets; the process gas is dissociated to deposit the desired film on the surface of the silicon wafer. Because the positive and negative electrodes of the graphite boat sheet are isolated and insulated by the insulating ceramic ring, the silicon wafer is placed in the graphite boat, and the insulating ceramic ring between the positive and negative electrodes of the graphite boat sheet is easily plated with the doped polycrystalline silicon layer to form conduction, the tubular PECVD can not realize the preparation of the online doped polycrystalline silicon layer; and the tubular PECVD generally adopts a 40KHz power supply, which cannot be matched with a high-frequency (13.56MHz) power supply, and the low-frequency power supply increases ion damage to the surface of a sample, thereby influencing the conversion efficiency of the Topcon solar cell.
The existing design scheme for preparing the silicon dioxide layer and the doped polysilicon layer of the Topcon solar cell by using the plate-type PECVD adopts a linear transmission mode, the used coating cavity is of a single-layer structure, the productivity is low, the capacity can be improved only by increasing the size of the cavity, but after the cavity is enlarged, the deformation of a spray plate, a heating plate and the like in the cavity is serious under the influence of the coating process temperature (250-400 ℃), the uniformity of the coating layer is obviously reduced, and the capacity is difficult to improve. And the cavities are connected together in a linear arrangement, and the tray carries silicon wafers to be transported through each process cavity. When the doped polycrystalline silicon layer of the Topcon battery is prepared, the film layer is thick, and a plurality of cavities are needed to prepare the doped polycrystalline silicon layer, for example, when three cavities which are linearly connected are used for preparing doped amorphous and polycrystalline cavities, each cavity only finishes the thickness of one third of the film layer, so that the tray can be ensured to be sequentially transmitted backwards at a certain takt time, the mechanical actions of the tray outside the transmission process and the film coating process among the cavities can be increased, the takt time is seriously influenced, the production performance is reduced, and meanwhile, the quality of the film layer is also influenced by the fact that the same film is coated in different cavities.
