Description

Annealing method for improving white point of crystalline silicon double-sided battery
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of crystalline silicon solar cells, and particularly relates to an annealing method for improving white spots of a crystalline silicon double-sided cell.
Background
In recent years, with the development of the crystalline silicon cell technology, the double-sided cell can generate electricity on the back surface to greatly reduce the cost, and the single-sided solar cell is replaced by the double-sided cell to become a mainstream product in the market. The double-sided battery and the single-sided battery are subjected to thermal oxidation treatment in the preparation process, and the difference is as follows: the back surface of the single-sided battery is covered by the aluminum back field, and even if small white spots exist on the back surface, the back surface is completely covered by the aluminum back field, so that the appearance of the single-sided battery is not poor; when the double-sided battery is produced, the back surface of the battery is adjusted to be printed with aluminum grid lines, if small white spots exist on the back surface, the appearance of the battery appears to be a poor sheet, and the double-sided battery passes through SiO 2 After the thermal oxidation passivation method is adopted, the proportion of white spots on the back of the battery is extremely high, the proportion is 20-30%, the product quality is seriously influenced, and therefore the yield of the double-sided battery is greatly reduced, and therefore, the method for effectively reducing the white spots on the back of the battery is very important.
CN109742185A discloses a temperature and pressure varying thermal oxidation process for improving small white points of a crystalline silicon double-sided battery, which comprises the following steps: (1) feeding; (2) entering a boat; (3) heating; (4) purging; (5) vacuumizing; (6) oxidizing; (7) back pressure cooling; (8) taking out of the boat; (9) and (6) blanking. The method adopts a variable temperature and pressure mode to reduce the white point of PE, but has the following problems: 1) in the method, in the step (3), the temperature in the furnace tube is increased to 850-980 ℃, so that most impurities enter the silicon wafer due to overhigh temperature, the impurities cannot be effectively removed, and the reject ratio of EL is increased; the high-temperature state greatly changes the distribution of phosphorus sources, and the electrical property of the silicon chip is seriously influenced; 2) in the method, the nitrogen flow is set to be 5-10 SLM in the purging step, the pressure in the furnace tube is controlled to be 100-300 mbar, the pressure is too low, the gas flow is too low, the purging effect is limited, and the reduced white point proportion is limited; 3) the method has too long process in the processes of temperature rise and temperature drop, and the productivity is seriously influenced.
CN107256907A discloses an annealing process for improving the small white point of the appearance of a PERC high-efficiency battery plate, comprising the following steps: the temperature of the furnace tube is reduced to 550 ℃, then the silicon wafer is placed in the furnace tube, and oxygen of 5000 +/-1000 sccm is introduced to perform oxidation reaction with impurities on the surface of the silicon wafer; introducing nitrogen of 5000 +/-1000 sccm into the furnace tube for purging, and removing impurities on the surface of the silicon wafer; the temperature in the furnace tube is raised to 700 +/-20 ℃, and then 1000sccm nitrogen is introduced to protect the surface of the silicon wafer so as to avoid secondary pollution; and cooling the silicon wafer to 550 ℃ after the silicon wafer is taken out of the furnace tube. According to the method, the temperature is raised and the oxidation is carried out, and then the operations of purging and vacuumizing are carried out, so that more impurities are generated, and the electrical property of the battery piece is seriously influenced.
In summary, under the condition of controlling the cost, it is a problem to be solved at present to provide a method for effectively reducing the white point of the battery to improve the quality rate of the battery.
