Description

Pyramid rapid texturing liquid, texturing method thereof and silicon wafer product
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of solar cells, and particularly relates to a pyramid rapid texturing liquid, a texturing method thereof and a silicon wafer product.
Background
The texturing is taken as a key process in a crystalline silicon battery process, and plays an important role in the aspect of efficiency improvement. For monocrystalline silicon, a common texturing process is alkali texturing, and a pyramid structure is formed on the surface of a silicon wafer by alkali anisotropic etching. In the alkali texturing process, some additives, such as IPA and the like, are usually added to effectively regulate the reaction. However, with the development of the crystalline silicon battery technology, cost reduction and efficiency improvement become more and more the focus of attention. The traditional alkali wool making process needs high temperature (75-85 ℃), long time (20-30 min) and large weight-reducing rough polishing, even though alkali wool making is improved in recent years, the wool making temperature and the rough polishing process still need high temperature, and the reaction time is still maintained at about 10 min.
In addition, the pyramid structure obtained by the existing alkali texturing process has a relatively sharp tower top, is not beneficial to passivation of a subsequent battery process, especially has very strict requirements on passivation of high-efficiency battery technologies such as PERC, HIT, IBC and the like, and if the pyramid passivation process needs to be improved, an additional chemical treatment process of 'rounding' needs to be introduced, but the optical characteristics of the pyramid structure are simultaneously lost, and the reflectivity is increased. Moreover, the pyramid structure obtained by the existing alkali texturing process has a large size, generally 1-10 μm, and the size distribution is very uneven, so that the large-size structure and the size are different, which is very unfavorable for passivation, back polishing and electrode contact of the subsequent battery process, and seriously affects the improvement of the battery efficiency.
Therefore, based on the above points, a new process is needed to solve the problems of process cost and structural defects at the same time.

the steps (1) and (2) are not in sequence.
As an improvement of the present invention, the step (2) specifically includes the following steps:

(2.2) water washing: and (3) placing the pre-washed silicon wafer into an acid solution, soaking for a certain time to remove alkali liquor remaining on the surface of the silicon wafer, and then placing the silicon wafer into water to remove acid liquor carried on the surface.
Wherein the mass percentage concentration of the alkali liquor is 50 percent, and the mass percentage concentration of the hydrogen peroxide is 30 to 35 percent; the volume ratio of the alkali liquor to the hydrogen peroxide is as follows: 1-3: 2-10; the soaking temperature in the mixed solution is 45-60 ℃, and the soaking time is 60-180 s; the acid solution is a diluent of hydrofluoric acid or nitric acid, wherein the mass percent of the hydrofluoric acid is 41-49%, and the mass percent concentration of the nitric acid is 59-65%; the volume ratio of the acid in the diluent is 1 percent; the soaking time in the acid solution is 80-200 s, and the soaking temperature is room temperature.
As a modified scheme of the invention, the preset temperature in the step (3) is 20-40 ℃, and the etching time is 60-360 s.

The pyramid texturing method provided by the invention can quickly form a pyramid structure on the surface of the silicon wafer at room temperature without rough polishing; the whole reaction time is controlled within 5min, and the reaction temperature is controlled near 25 ℃, so that the time cost and the equipment cost can be greatly reduced; the size of the pyramid structure formed by texturing is smaller than that of the structure obtained by alkaline texturing, and the sizes of the independent pyramids are consistent, and the size range is 0.5-2 mu m; the small-size inverted pyramid structure is very beneficial to passivation and back polishing in a high-efficiency battery structure while the reflectivity is ensured, and meanwhile, electrode contact can be greatly improved due to the fact that the size of the small-size inverted pyramid structure is consistent, and the improvement of the battery efficiency is greatly facilitated. In addition, the shape and size of the pyramid can be regulated and controlled by adjusting parameters such as texturing proportion, texturing temperature and reaction time so as to better match with the subsequent battery process, and the pyramid has the advantages of high flexibility, wide application range and contribution to wide popularization and application.

Detailed Description
The following description of the embodiments of the present invention will be made with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following examples are only for illustrating the technical solutions of the present invention more clearly, and the protection scope of the present invention is not limited thereby.
In order to further reduce the process cost of the existing photovoltaic texturing technology and simplify the process steps, and simultaneously seek a structure to effectively match with an efficient battery technology and improve the battery efficiency, the invention provides a pyramid rapid texturing liquid. In one embodiment of the invention, the pyramid rapid texturing solution comprises silver ion sources, copper ion sources, fluoride ion sources, an oxidizing agent and deionized water; wherein the concentration of each component is as follows: 0.001 mmol/L-0.5 mmol/L silver ion source; 1 mmol/L-200 mmol/L of copper ion source; 0.5-10 mol/L of fluoride ion source; oxidant 0.1-8 mol/L; the oxidizing agent is capable of oxidizing silicon in the silicon wafer to silicon oxide and copper to copper ions.
By immersing the silicon wafer into the pyramid rapid texturing liquid, and controlling the concentration of each component in the texturing liquid, the pyramid rapid texturing can be completed in a short time at room temperature, and finally the obtained pyramid has uniform structure distribution and consistent size, and can be well matched with an efficient battery process. The main mechanism of the texturing process is as follows: the silver ion source is used as an induced texturing catalyst, and nanometer raising points are preferentially formed on the surface of the silicon wafer; the influence of the diamond wire cutting line marks on metal deposition can be effectively weakened by the increase of the nano raised points, and the uniformity of a final structure can be greatly guaranteed. The copper ion source then anisotropically deposits along the nano-fluff points as the nano-fluff points effectively lower the surface energy. The existence of silver ions destroys the local downward etching behavior of copper ions; meanwhile, due to the increase of the surface raising points, the continuous growth of the copper particles deposited on the surface is effectively limited; the oxidant existing in the solution can effectively ensure the balance between the deposition and the dissolution of copper; the HF acid in the solution ensures the rapid etching of the silicon oxide and forms fluosilicic acid dissolved in water, so that the whole reaction is promoted to go on; anisotropic deposition of copper results in anisotropic etching by HF acid; by combining the factors, the pyramid structure with uniform distribution and consistent size is ensured to be finally formed.
Preferably, the silver ion source is selected from one or more of silver nitrate, silver fluoride and silver sulfate; the copper ion source is preferably selected from one or more of copper nitrate, copper sulfate and copper chloride; the oxidizing agent is capable of oxidizing silicon in the silicon wafer to silicon oxide and copper to copper ions. The present invention is preferably applied to the above-described copper ion source, but is not limited thereto as long as freely moving copper ions can be ionized in the copper ion source.
In other embodiments, the silver ion source is preferably silver nitrate, the copper ion source is preferably copper nitrate, the fluoride ion source is preferably hydrofluoric acid, and the oxidant is preferably hydrogen peroxide. By adopting the texturing liquid with the components, a better pyramid textured structure can be obtained, the pyramid textured structure is uniform in size and distribution, the size range is 1-2 mu m, the back polishing process in a high-efficiency battery structure is facilitated, and the battery efficiency can be further improved.
The invention provides a pyramid texturing method, which comprises the following steps: (1) preparing the pyramid rapid texturing liquid; (2) preparing a silicon wafer; (3) and placing the silicon wafer in the pyramid rapid texturing liquid, etching for a certain time at a preset temperature, and texturing the silicon wafer to obtain the silicon wafer with the pyramid texturing surface.
The silicon wafer comprises monocrystalline silicon, polycrystalline silicon and ingot casting monocrystalline, and can be suitable for both N-type silicon wafers and P-type silicon wafers. The original silicon wafer without texturing is placed in the pyramid rapid texturing liquid, due to the existence of silver ions, surface texturing points are greatly increased, anisotropic deposition of copper can be effectively and uniformly spread on the surface of the silicon wafer, further growth and combination of the copper are prevented, meanwhile, the texturing of the silicon wafer can be completed in a very short time under the room temperature condition by virtue of the effective synergistic effect of HF acid and hydrogen peroxide, and finally, a pyramid structure which is uniformly distributed, uniform in size and closely arranged is formed.
The pyramid texturing method can realize the rapid texturing of the pyramid, wherein the preferred scheme is that the texturing reaction temperature is 20-40 ℃, the reaction temperature is basically in the room temperature range, the dependence on external heating or cooling is very small, the production cost is further reduced, and the process is simplified. The reaction time of the texturing is 60-600 s, and the longer time or the shorter time is not favorable for forming a better pyramid textured structure. Too short a time, insufficient structure formation; for too long, the pyramid structure that has been formed can be damaged by the second etching, causing the structure to collapse. More preferably, the reaction temperature for texturing is 25-35 ℃ and the reaction time is 180-480 s. Most preferably, the reaction temperature for texturing is 30 ℃ and the reaction time is 240 s.
As other pollution or impurity residues are inevitably introduced into the silicon wafer in the cutting, packaging and transporting processes, the silicon wafer is also required to be subjected to pre-cleaning and water washing before texturing. The method specifically comprises the following steps: firstly, soaking a silicon wafer in a mixed solution of alkali liquor and hydrogen peroxide for a certain time, and then washing with water to remove alkali liquor carried on the surface; then, placing the silicon wafer after washing in an acid solution, soaking for a certain time to remove alkali liquor remaining on the surface of the silicon wafer, and then placing in water to remove acid liquor carried on the surface; wherein the mass percentage concentration of the alkali liquor is 50 percent, and the mass percentage concentration of the hydrogen peroxide is 30 to 35 percent; the volume ratio of the alkali liquor to the hydrogen peroxide is as follows: 1-3: 2-10; the soaking temperature is 45-60 ℃; the soaking time was 120 s. The acid solution is a diluent of hydrofluoric acid or nitric acid, wherein the mass percent of the hydrofluoric acid is 41-49%, and the mass percent concentration of the nitric acid is 59-65%; the volume ratio of the acid in the diluent is 1 percent; the soaking time is 120 s; the soaking temperature is room temperature.
In addition, the textured silicon wafer is finally prepared to represent the performance of the solar cell and put into practical use, so the method of the invention also comprises the step of removing residual metal on the surface of the textured silicon wafer. The post-cleaning step comprises: placing the silicon wafer with the pyramid texture surface in pickling solution, soaking for 120-180 s, then washing with water, removing residual acid solution on the surface, and drying with nitrogen; the acid adopted in the pickling solution is concentrated nitric acid; the mass percentage concentration of the nitric acid is 59-65%.
The invention is further illustrated by the following more specific examples.
Example 1:
1) pre-cleaning of silicon wafer
Soaking the silicon wafer in a mixed solution of alkali liquor and hydrogen peroxide at the temperature of 45-60 ℃ for 120s, and then washing with water for 120 s; putting the silicon wafer after washing into a dilute acid solution, and soaking for 120s at normal temperature; then, the water washing is carried out for 180 s.
2) Texturing method
Putting the silicon wafer subjected to pre-cleaning and water washing in the step 1) into a pyramid rapid texturing solution, wherein the pyramid rapid texturing solution is composed of silver nitrate, copper nitrate, hydrofluoric acid, hydrogen peroxide and deionized water. Wherein the concentration of silver nitrate is 0.01mmol/L, the concentration of copper nitrate is 100mmol/L, and the concentration of hydrofluoric acid is 4.8 mol/L; the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is 3.6 mol/L; the reaction temperature was 30 ℃ and the reaction time was 240 s.
3) Post-cleaning
Taking out the silicon wafer subjected to texturing in the step 2), and placing the silicon wafer in nitric acid with the mass percentage concentration of 59-65% to remove metal particles covered on the surface, wherein the reaction time is 180 s; and then washing with water to remove residual acid liquor on the surface, and drying with nitrogen. Thus, the textured silicon wafer with the surface composed of the pyramid structure is obtained, and the topographic map of the pyramid structure after texturing is shown in fig. 1, fig. 2 and fig. 3. As can be seen from the figure, the pyramid structure obtained finally is uniform in distribution and consistent in size, and the size of the pyramid structure is about 1-2 μm.
Example 2:
1) pre-cleaning of silicon wafer
The silicon wafer precleaning step in this embodiment is substantially the same as the silicon wafer precleaning step in step 1) in embodiment 1, and is not described herein again.
2) Texturing method
Putting the silicon wafer subjected to pre-cleaning and water washing in the step 1) into a pyramid rapid texturing solution, wherein the pyramid rapid texturing solution is composed of silver nitrate, copper nitrate, hydrofluoric acid, hydrogen peroxide and deionized water. Wherein the concentration of silver nitrate is 0.001mmol/L, the concentration of copper nitrate is 100mmol/L, and the concentration of hydrofluoric acid is 7.0 mol/L; the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is 1.3 mol/L; the reaction temperature was 30 ℃ and the reaction time was 240 s.
3) Post-cleaning
The post-cleaning step of the silicon wafer in this embodiment is substantially the same as the post-cleaning step of step 3) in embodiment 1, and is not described herein again.
Compared with the embodiment 1, the concentration of silver nitrate is greatly changed, and under the condition that the concentration of copper nitrate is not changed, the silver induction effect is slightly poor due to the reduction of the concentration of silver nitrate, so that more hydrofluoric acid is needed to rapidly etch silicon dioxide generated in the catalysis process, the whole etching is accelerated, the pyramid structure can be formed in a short time, and the effective etching of the silicon wafer is completed. The final pyramid topography is shown in fig. 4 and 5, and the structure collapses to some extent due to the reduction of silver and the weakening of induction.
Example 3:
1) pre-cleaning of silicon wafer
The silicon wafer precleaning step in this embodiment is substantially the same as the silicon wafer precleaning step in step 1) in embodiment 1, and is not described herein again.
2) Texturing method
Putting the silicon wafer subjected to pre-cleaning and water washing in the step 1) into a pyramid rapid texturing solution, wherein the pyramid rapid texturing solution is composed of silver nitrate, copper nitrate, hydrofluoric acid, hydrogen peroxide and deionized water. Wherein the concentration of silver nitrate is 0.1mmol/L, the concentration of copper nitrate is 150mmol/L, and the concentration of hydrofluoric acid is 4.8 mol/L; the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is 5.0 mol/L; the reaction temperature was 30 ℃ and the reaction time was 240 s.
3) Post-cleaning
The post-cleaning step of the silicon wafer in this embodiment is substantially the same as the post-cleaning step of step 3) in embodiment 1, and is not described herein again.
The concentrations of silver nitrate and copper nitrate were greatly changed in comparison with example 1. Due to the increase of the concentration of silver nitrate, the capacity of inducing the generation of the fluffy points is obviously enhanced, and due to the strong catalytic etching capacity of silver, if the concentration of copper nitrate is not increased, the catalytic etching of silver is led to form a nano structure. At the same time, the increase in the concentration of copper nitrate in the solution greatly accelerates the copper deposition rate, thus requiring more binocular water to maintain the balance of copper deposition and dissolution. The final pyramid topography is shown in fig. 6 and 7, and the whole reaction rate is accelerated due to the synchronous increase of metal ions in the solution, so that the size of the final pyramid structure is larger.
Example 4:
1) pre-cleaning of silicon wafer
The silicon wafer precleaning step in this embodiment is substantially the same as the silicon wafer precleaning step in step 1) in embodiment 1, and is not described herein again.
2) Texturing method
Putting the silicon wafer subjected to pre-cleaning and water washing in the step 1) into a pyramid rapid texturing solution, wherein the pyramid rapid texturing solution is composed of silver nitrate, copper nitrate, hydrofluoric acid, hydrogen peroxide and deionized water. Wherein the concentration of silver nitrate is 0.01mmol/L, the concentration of copper nitrate is 10mmol/L, and the concentration of hydrofluoric acid is 5 mol/L; the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is 1.8 mol/L; the reaction temperature was 30 ℃ and the reaction time was 240 s.
3) Post-cleaning
The post-cleaning step of the silicon wafer in this embodiment is substantially the same as the post-cleaning step of step 3) in embodiment 1, and is not described herein again.
Compared with the embodiment 1, the concentration of copper nitrate is greatly changed, under the condition that silver nitrate is kept unchanged, the deposition of copper in the reaction process is slowed down due to the reduction of the concentration of copper nitrate, in order to maintain the deposition rate of copper to form a pyramid structure, more hydrofluoric acid is needed to rapidly etch silicon dioxide generated in the catalysis process, the whole etching process is accelerated, meanwhile, the dissolution rate of copper needs to be slowed down by reducing hydrogen peroxide in the solution, and the etching of the silicon wafer is finally completed by combining the above steps. The resulting pyramidal topography is shown in fig. 8 and 9.
Example 5:
1) pre-cleaning of silicon wafer
The silicon wafer precleaning step in this embodiment is substantially the same as the silicon wafer precleaning step in step 1) in embodiment 1, and is not described herein again.
2) Texturing method
Putting the silicon wafer subjected to pre-cleaning and water washing in the step 1) into a pyramid rapid texturing solution, wherein the pyramid rapid texturing solution is composed of silver nitrate, copper nitrate, hydrofluoric acid, hydrogen peroxide and deionized water. Wherein the concentration of silver nitrate is 0.005mmol/L, the concentration of copper nitrate is 80mmol/L, and the concentration of hydrofluoric acid is 3.6 mol/L; the concentration of hydrogen peroxide is 0.9 mol/L; the reaction temperature was 30 ℃ and the reaction time was 480 s.
3) Post-cleaning
The post-cleaning step of the silicon wafer in this embodiment is substantially the same as the post-cleaning step of step 3) in embodiment 1, and is not described herein again.
In comparison with example 1, the concentrations of silver nitrate and hydrofluoric acid were greatly changed, and the reaction time was increased to 489 s. In order to maintain the deposition rate of copper to form a pyramid structure, the dissolution rate of copper needs to be slowed down by reducing hydrogen peroxide in the solution, and the etching of the silicon wafer is finally completed by combining the above steps. The resulting pyramidal topography is shown in fig. 10 and 11.
The surface reflectivity of the sample was measured using a Varian Cary 5000 Total reflection integrating sphere, as shown in FIG. 12. The average reflectivity is between 9% and 16%.
The rapid texturing liquid and the texturing method for the pyramid, disclosed by the invention, have the advantages of simple process, low cost, convenience in operation and wide application conditions, and can be used for obtaining the positive pyramid structure on a silicon wafer in a very short time under the room temperature condition.
