The single crystal is treated by alkali under normal conditions, and a pyramid texture surface can be obtained; the porous random suede can be obtained by treating the polycrystal with acid.
Specifically, after texturing, the upper and lower end faces of the Si substrate 1 are respectively in a rough texture structure. The specific rough texture may be a wave-like pattern, pyramid or inverted pyramid pattern to increase surface area while reducing reflection of incident light.

Of course, the Si substrate 1 may also be boron-doped to build a P-type silicon substrate.
S102, phosphorus diffusion is carried out on the reverse side of the Si substrate 1, and a phosphorus diffusion layer 2 is formed.
The phosphorus diffusion process is carried out at the temperature of 850-900 ℃, so that the lower part of the Si substrate 1 forms a phosphorus diffusion layer 2 due to diffusion, and the P-type silicon-based Si substrate 1 and the phosphorus diffusion layer 2 above the first doped silicon layer 4 construct a PN junction. Particularly, the phosphorus diffusion layer 2 is designed in the cell structure, which is beneficial to improving the collection of electrons, reducing the recombination of electrons and multiple electrons (holes) at an interface and improving the conversion efficiency.
POCl is used for phosphorus diffusion 3 ,POCl 3 The liquid phosphorus source is adopted, and the liquid phosphorus source diffusion has the advantages of higher production efficiency, good stability, uniform and flat prepared PN junction, good surface of the phosphorus diffusion layer 2 and the like.
And S103, removing the PSG formed by phosphorus diffusion.
After the phosphorus diffusion layer 2 is formed, a first passivation layer 3 and a first doped silicon layer 4 are sequentially generated, the first doped silicon layer 4 is removed at intervals in a targeted manner to form a plurality of blank areas 6, the first passivation layer 3 and the phosphorus diffusion layer 2 corresponding to the blank areas 6 are further sequentially removed, and a second passivation layer 7 and a second doped silicon layer 8 are sequentially generated in the blank areas 6.
The PSG formation process is specifically as follows: in the presence of POCl 3 Then, POCl 3 Decomposing at more than 600 deg.C to obtain phosphorus pentachloride (PCl) 5 ) And phosphorus pentoxide (P) 2 O 5 ),PCl 5 Has corrosion effect on the surface of the silicon wafer when oxygen O is available 2 When present, PCl 5 Will decompose into P 2 O 5 And chlorine is released, so that nitrogen is diffused and oxygen with a certain flow is introduced at the same time. P is 2 O 5 Reacting with silicon at diffusion temperature to form silicon dioxide and phosphorus atoms, P 2 O 5 Deposited on the surface of a silicon wafer and continuously reacts with silicon to generate SiO 2 And phosphorus atoms, and forming phosphorus-silicon glass (PSG) on the surface of the silicon wafer.
S2, first passivation layers 3 are formed on both front and back surfaces of the Si substrate 1.

Figure BDA0003662256920000081
It should be noted that the first passivation layer 3 can be formed in various ways, such as by PECVD or LPCVD deposition; PECVD oxidation methods may also be employed. Thermal oxidation is generally used, and oxygen diffuses into the substrate to form silicon oxide, so that the passivation effect is good.
For example, the first passivation layer 3 may be formed of silicon nitride, silicon oxide, silicon oxynitride, or a composite of two or more of the above materials.
S3, a first doped silicon layer 4 is grown on the opposite first passivation layer 3, the first doped silicon layer 4 being in particular a poly-si (n) layer.
It will be appreciated that the construction of a poly-Si (n) layer with a void 6 is an important step in the manufacture of a bifacial cell, and then the design is such that the void 6 creates a poly-Si (p) layer, and the Si substrate 1 in combination with the poly-Si (n) layer and the poly-Si (p) layer allows for the generation of photogenerated carrier output.

It will be appreciated that the thickness of the poly-Si (n) layer in the design is
Figure BDA0003662256920000082
The poly-Si (n) layer can be formed in two ways:
by adopting a method of LPCVD or PECVD in-situ doped silicon deposition, silane and a doping source (phosphorus) are put in, the concentration of phosphine in reaction gas is about 1 to 2 percent, amorphous silicon layers can be formed on the front surface and the back surface by utilizing LPCVD, and then the amorphous silicon is annealed to form polycrystalline silicon; obtaining single-sided silicon deposition by using PECVD;
method for depositing intrinsic silicon by LPCVD or PECVD, followed by a phosphorus diffusion process (POCl) 3 ) Or ion implantation (but the equipment is expensive, the processing is time-consuming, and the mass production is not suitable); and annealing at high temperature to obtain polycrystalline silicon.
In addition, the LPCVD method is used for manufacturing intrinsic polycrystalline silicon or amorphous silicon, the polycrystalline silicon is manufactured at high temperature, the deposition speed is high, and then phosphorus diffusion is performed; the amorphous silicon is prepared at low temperature, the deposition speed is slow, and then phosphorus diffusion is performed.
Illustratively, the annealing may be performed at a high temperature by PECVD. There are also reactive sputtering (PVD), electron beam evaporation and thermal decomposition of silane.
The glow discharge method (PECVD) is a method in which a reaction chamber is evacuated, hydrogen or silane diluted with argon is charged, and a radio frequency power supply is applied to two parallel plate electrodes 11 to ionize the silane and form plasma. An amorphous silicon film is deposited on the heated substrate. If the silane is admixed with a suitable amount of phosphane (pH) 3 ) Or diborane (B) 2 H 6 ) Thus obtaining the N-type or P-type amorphous silicon film.
If double sided silicon deposition is used, the silicon on the front side is removed in a subsequent silicon etch step, and if single sided silicon deposition is used, only a single sided etch of silicon is required.
S302, generating a first mask layer 5 outside the poly-Si (n) layer on the reverse side.
It is to be understood that the first mask layer 5 may be SiN x The function of the layer, the first mask layer 5, is to protect the poly-si (n) layer from corrosion.
S303, locally etching/corroding the first mask layer 5 to enable the part of the poly-Si (n) layer on the reverse side to be in an exposed state.
It will be appreciated that the etching/etching is effected with the first mask layer 5 located at a specific position opposite. The etching can be laser etching; the etching can be chemical etching, and the chemical etching agent is SiN capable of etching x And (3) a layer. The etching/etching method is matched with the first mask layer 5 to be in an exposed state in a local part of the poly-Si (n) layer, and the first doping layer can be etched due to the lack of the protection of the first mask layer 5 in the local area in the exposed state, so as to create conditions for constructing a blank area 6 in the middle of the reverse poly-Si (n) layer.
Regarding the choice of etching/etching area, the etching/etching area is used to create a blank area 6, the width of the blank area 6 is slightly larger than the width of the corresponding poly-Si (p) layer, so that the SiN on the opposite side is etched/etched at intervals x The area of the layer needs to be smaller than the SiN on the opposite side which is not etched/etched x A region of a layer.
S304, etching the exposed parts of the poly-Si (n) layers on the front and back sides, and generating a blank area 6 in the middle of the poly-Si (n) layer on the back side.
It will be appreciated that the chemical etchant used to etch silicon is selected to further etch the exposed portion of the poly-si (N) layer such that a void 6 is present between the opposing poly-si (N) layer, the width of the void 6 determining the width ratio between the P and N regions, as desired.
S305, removing the first passivation layer 3 with the front and back surfaces in an exposed state, and etching the phosphorus diffusion layer 2 corresponding to the blank area 6 to form a semi-finished product; the product state after the completion of the step refers to the attached figure 1 of the specification.
When the phosphorus diffusion layer 2 corresponding to the blank area 6 is removed, etching is carried out until the Si substrate 1 corresponding to the phosphorus diffusion layer 2 is exposed; by thoroughly removing the phosphorus diffusion layer 2 in the region of the second doped silicon layer 8 to be generated, the phosphorus diffusion layer 2 is prevented from being positioned between the Si substrate 1 and the poly-Si (P) layer, and the collection of holes in the P-type second doped silicon layer 8 is enhanced.
And S306, generating second passivation layers 7 on the front surface and the back surface of the semi-finished product.
When the first passivation layer 3 corresponding to the blank area 6 is removed, the first passivation layer 3 on the front surface is removed at the same time; on the other hand, and while the second passivation layer 7 is grown in the blank region 6, the second passivation layer 7 is simultaneously grown on the front surface, the first doped silicon layer 4.
The defect state of the surface of the Si substrate 1 is passivated by generating the second passivation layer 7 to repair the partial exposure of the obverse and reverse sides of the Si substrate 1 due to the thorough etching of the phosphorus diffusion layer 2. The generation manner of the second passivation layer 7 can be referred to the generation manner of the first passivation layer 3.
It should be particularly noted that the second passivation layer 7 on the opposite side may also serve as a separation layer, the outer side surface of the second passivation layer 7 is attached to and contacted with the Si substrate 1 and the first doped silicon layer 4, and the second doped silicon layer 8 is separated from the Si substrate 1 and the first doped silicon layer 4 by the second passivation layer 7, so as to separate the subsequently generated second doped silicon layer 8 in all directions, thereby avoiding the problem of electric leakage. Furthermore, two ends of the first passivation layer 3 are respectively contacted with the second passivation layer 7 outside the two adjacent sections of the second doped silicon layers 8 to coat the first doped silicon layer 4, so that electric leakage at the first doped silicon layer 4 is also avoided.
S4, a second doped silicon layer 8 is grown on the opposite second passivation layer 7, the second doped silicon layer 8 being in particular a poly-si (p) layer.
It should be noted that the steps S4 and S3 can be performed by transposition, i.e., a poly-Si (p) layer is formed, a blank region 6 of the poly-Si (p) layer is formed, and then a poly-Si (n) layer is formed on the blank region 6 of the poly-Si (p) layer.
S401, generating a poly-Si (p) layer on the outer surface of the front and back surfaces, and filling the poly-Si (p) layer in the blank area 6 of the poly-Si (n) layer.
Generating a second doped silicon layer 8 on the second passivation layer 7 on the front and back surfaces of the semi-finished cell, and filling the second doped silicon layer 8 in the blank area 6 between the first doped silicon layers 4; exemplary methods of forming poly-si (p) layers are referenced to methods of manufacturing poly-si (n) layers. In addition, the designed thickness of the poly-Si (p) layer is within

Preferably to the thickness of the poly-Si (n) layer, so that the first doping isThe doped silicon layers formed by the interleaving of the doped silicon layers 4 and the second doped silicon layers 8 have the same thickness.
S402, generating a second mask layer 9 outside the poly-Si (p) layer on the reverse side.

Figure BDA0003662256920000112
In between.
S403, etching/corroding the second mask layer 9 locally to enable the part of the poly-Si (p) layer corresponding to the poly-Si (n) layer to be in an exposed state.
It is understood that the etching/etching is performed on the second mask layer 9 at a specific location opposite to the specific location where the poly-si (n) layer corresponds to a portion of the second mask layer 9 facing outward, such as a region of the second mask layer 9 corresponding to the poly-si (n) layer facing vertically downward. The etching can be laser etching; the etching can be chemical etching, and the chemical etching agent is SiN capable of etching x A layer. The etching/etching method is matched with the second mask layer 9 to expose a part of the poly-Si (p) layer, and the exposed part of the poly-Si (p) layer can be etched due to the lack of the protection of the second mask layer 9, so that a condition is created for exposing the poly-Si (p) layer.
Regarding the selection of the etching/etching region, the SiN layer on the reverse side is etched/etched based on the space of poly-Si (p) layer required for constructing PN junction x The zone size of the layer is adjusted.
S404, etching the exposed parts of the poly-Si (p) layer on the front surface and the back surface, and enabling the first mask layer 5 corresponding to the poly-Si (n) layer on the back surface to be in an exposed state.
If single-sided silicon deposition is used, only one side of the silicon needs to be etched.
It will be appreciated that the chemical etchant which etches silicon is selected to further etch the exposed portion of the poly-si (P) layer to remove the excess P-doped silicon layer so that the first mask layer 5 opposite the poly-si (n) layer is exposed in preparation for forming the electrode 11 for the poly-si (n) layer. The etched area size is only required to satisfy the requirement that the poly-Si (n) layer can be sintered into the electrode 11.
It should be noted that, in addition to the construction of the doped silicon layer by using the masking and etching methods in S3 and S4, if the requirement of mass production is not considered, ion implantation is performed by using an ion implanter, and after the intrinsic silicon is deposited, ion implantation in a specific region is achieved; specifically, phosphorus implantation is carried out at the position where a poly-Si (n) layer needs to be formed on the reverse side, boron implantation is carried out at the position where a poly-Si (p) layer needs to be formed, and mask patterns of the phosphorus implantation and the boron implantation are arranged alternately. It should be noted that the ion implanter is expensive and the ion implantation causes lattice damage and requires an annealing process.
Due to the design of the mask-etching scheme, the reverse poly-Si (p) layer is deposited along the poly-Si (n) layer and the blank area 6, so that the poly-Si (p) layer has an excessive section growing along the end faces of the first doped silicon layer 4 and the first mask layer 5; the elimination of the redundant segment can be achieved by further enlarging the area for etching/corroding the second mask layer 9 after the second mask layer 9 is generated, specifically, etching/corroding the area of the second mask layer 9 corresponding to the redundant segment on the second doped silicon layer 8, so as to ensure that when the second doped silicon layer 8 is corroded, the redundant segment of the second doped silicon layer 8 is corroded by increasing the corrosion time, thereby achieving the purpose that the first doped silicon layer 4 and the second doped silicon layer 8 are flush, reducing the total thickness of the finished battery, and reducing the total thickness of the finished battery

Similarly, if the excess portion of the second doped silicon layer 8 is preserved, advantages include: firstly, the production time is shortened, and the consumption of corrosive agents is saved; the bearing capacity of the battery with increased thickness is increased; and thirdly, when the redundant section of the second doped silicon layer 8 is prevented from being corroded, the corrosive agent corrodes the area of the second doped silicon layer 8, which needs to be contacted with the first doped silicon layer 4, so that the stable butt joint of the first doped silicon layer 4 and the second doped silicon layer 8 is ensured, the overall conversion efficiency of the battery is ensured, and further, the preparation method is more suitable for large-scale mass production products, and the product quality is ensured.
S5, an anti-reflection layer 10 is generated outside the second passivation layer 7 of the front side.
