Description

Method for reducing EL black spot defect
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of photovoltaic cell assemblies, in particular to a method for reducing EL black spot defects.
Background
With the rapid development of the high-efficiency crystalline silicon solar cell technology, customers have higher and higher requirements on the EL quality of the crystalline silicon solar single-crystal cell. In addition, new and efficient batteries are associated with higher technical costs, and therefore, reducing the EL defect rate is also one of the effective ways to reduce the cost of electricity consumption.
Besides the defects of the battery piece (internal factors), various defects are easily introduced in the manufacturing process of the battery piece to cause poor EL test of the battery (external factors), so that the yield is reduced. Among them, the EL dot defect (black dot) is one of the most important EL defects of the cell, and the main cause of the generation thereof is external environmental pollution. Researches find that the tolerance to the cleanliness of the back surface of the silicon wafer is extremely low before the ALD of back passivation is completed, and for the silicon wafer after wet etching, the poorer the cleanliness of the external environment and the more serious the influence of the longer the exposure time of the silicon wafer on the EL point defects are.
Therefore, we need to improve the battery production process to hopefully solve the problem of frequent occurrence of EL spot defects.

FIG. 1 is a process flow diagram of the method for reducing EL black spot defects according to the present invention.
Detailed Description
In order to make the objects, technical solutions and advantages of the present invention more apparent, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.
As shown in FIG. 1, the present invention is a method for reducing EL black spot defect, and the flow chart can include the steps S01-S10:
and step S01, the main purpose of texturing is to remove oil stains and metal impurities on the surface of the P-type substrate, remove the mechanical damage layer, form a pyramid textured surface, trap light and reduce surface reflection.
And step S02, preparing a uniform doping layer on the surface of the P-type silicon substrate in a P diffusion mode to form a PN junction of the crystalline silicon solar cell.
And step S03, corroding the lower surface and the edge of the diffused silicon wafer by using mixed liquid of HNO3 and HF, and removing N-type silicon on the edge, so that the upper surface and the lower surface of the silicon wafer are mutually insulated.
And step S04, polishing the back of the silicon wafer by using KOH and polishing additives, so that surface recombination can be reduced, light reflection inside the cell can be increased, short-circuit current and open-circuit voltage can be improved, and the smooth back is favorable for ALD coating.
And step S05, forming a layer of Al2O3 film on the back surface, passivating the back surface, effectively reducing the recombination of the back surface and improving the open-circuit voltage.
Step S06, a layer of SiO2 is formed on the silicon surface by utilizing high temperature, which plays the role of PID resistance and has the function of repairing crystal lattice, and the heat damage caused by high temperature diffusion (850 ℃) can be reduced.
Step 07, a layer of SiNx is plated on the front surface of the silicon wafer by adopting a PECVD process, so that light reflection can be reduced, light absorption of the cell can be increased, and the surface of the cell can be passivated. In addition, a large amount of H is present in the SiNx film, and activation during sintering passivates dangling bonds inside the crystal.
Step S08, a silicon nitride film is deposited on the back of the silicon wafer, which can enhance the hydrogen passivation effect, protect the passivation film from being eroded by Al slurry in the silk screen sintering process, increase the internal reflection of the long wave band on the back surface of the cell, and improve the short circuit current and the photoelectric conversion efficiency.
And step S09, preparing a back electrode and an aluminum back field on the back of the battery in a screen printing mode, and preparing a positive electrode and a front fine grid line on the front of the battery, wherein the functions of collecting current and outputting current are mainly achieved.
In step S10, the battery is classified according to its electrical properties, appearance, EL, poor resistance (uneven current affecting the components), etc., and the previous stage process conditions can be reflected and adjusted accordingly.
In the conventional battery production process, step S06 is performed first, and then step S05 is performed. Namely, after the back polishing process, annealing treatment is carried out on the silicon wafer, and then the back passivation ALD process is carried out. After the silicon wafer back polishing is finished, step S05 is performed first, and then step S06 is performed. Firstly, performing a back passivation ALD process, plating an Al2O3 film on the back surface of a silicon wafer to protect the back surface, and then performing an annealing process, wherein the rest process flows are unchanged.
The method for reducing the EL black point defect has no change in difficulty on the basis of the existing process, but can effectively reduce the time of exposing the silicon wafer in the air and effectively reduce the influence caused by the EL point defect. The method of the present application has not been implemented in the prior art, mainly considering that performing the back passivation ALD process followed by the annealing process may affect the growth of the SiO2 layer on the back surface, thereby affecting the passivation and anti-PID effects of SiO 2. However, a lot of experiments in a laboratory show that the back passivation ALD process is carried out first and then the annealing process is carried out, and the growth of the SiO2 layer on the back surface is not obviously influenced, so that the method is effective.
As can be seen from the steps of the process of the present invention and the prior art, the process only sequentially adjusts the two processes of oxidation annealing and ALD, and therefore, the influence on the production cost, the process, the productivity, etc. of the product is small on the whole.
The above description is only exemplary of the present application and should not be taken as limiting the present application, as any modification, equivalent replacement, or improvement made within the spirit and principle of the present application should be included in the protection scope of the present application.
