Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of solar cells, in particular to a TOPCON battery texturing stability monitoring method.
Background
TOPCon battery, tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact battery, is a novel passivation contact technology, can effectively reduce surface recombination and metal contact recombination, and is a development trend of high-efficiency battery at present. The conventional TOPCO battery process flow mainly comprises the following steps: alkali texturing, boron diffusion, back winding diffusion borosilicate glass removal and cleaning, alkali polishing, ultra-thin oxide layer deposition, polysilicon, phosphorus doping, front surface dephosphorization silica glass, front surface winding plating, aluminum oxide passivation, silicon nitride antireflection, screen printing, sintering and testing, wherein the process time is about 9.5 hours.
In the TOPCON battery production process, firstly, the surface of a silicon wafer needs to be textured, and the texturing effect directly influences the absorption of sunlight by the battery and the passivation effect of a coating film in the subsequent process, so that the battery efficiency is influenced. The current method for judging whether the texturing process is stable in the TOPCO battery production process is to judge according to the battery efficiency of the final battery, so that the time is long, the cost is high, the specific process with abnormality cannot be focused, and a large amount of complicated investigation work is needed in the later period. Although weight reduction and reflectivity are also studied as indexes for evaluating the quality of the texturing process, monitoring of the reflectivity and the weight reduction cannot guarantee stability of the efficiency of the final battery, and the accuracy of the method is required to be further verified.
Disclosure of Invention
In view of the above, the invention provides a method for monitoring the stability of TOPCO battery texturing, which discovers key parameters affecting the quality of the texturing process through a large number of experiments, and monitors the key parameters rapidly, thus having high accuracy, simple operation and low cost, and not affecting the normal production of TOPCO battery.
In order to achieve the aim of the invention, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
a TOPCON battery texturing stability monitoring method comprises the following steps:
texturing the surface of the silicon wafer to obtain a textured surface with pyramid morphology;
measuring a value of the bottom side length a of the pyramid morphology and a value of the ratio R of the raised surface area;
judging the stability of the texturing process according to the value a and the value R, and when a is more than or equal to 4.0 mu m and less than or equal to 7.0 mu m,
Figure BDA0004083488980000021
The texturing process is stable; otherwise, adjusting the texturing liquid medicine or/and the technological conditions;
wherein, the calculation formula of the R value is the texturing surface area of the silicon wafer/the silicon wafer area.
Through a great deal of researches, the inventor finds that in the TOPCON battery production process, the surface texture of the silicon wafer is complicated in reaction process due to the use of various chemical liquid medicines and additives, the production process is easy to be abnormal, and the abnormality is mainly caused by the micro-sized texture on the surface of the silicon wafer, and is not visible to naked eyes under normal conditions, so that problems cannot be found in time, waste of production resources is caused, and the battery yield is low. Through a great deal of creative research, the inventor finds that after the surface texturing treatment of the silicon wafer, when the ratio of the texturing surface area of the silicon wafer to the silicon wafer area and the bottom edge length of the pyramid meet a specific relation, the qualified rate of the surface texturing of the silicon wafer is greatly improved, and the rapid and accurate monitoring of the texturing stability is realized. Compared with the prior art that the quality of a final battery is adopted to judge whether the surface texturing of the silicon wafer is stable, the monitoring method provided by the invention has the advantages of short time, simple and convenient operation and low cost, and does not influence the normal production of TOPCON batteries; compared with the method for judging whether the texturing process is stable or not through detecting the weight loss and the reflectivity, the monitoring method provided by the invention is better in accuracy.
Optionally, after the surface of the silicon wafer of the preset batch is textured, selecting a preset number of silicon wafers, and measuring an a value and an R value of the silicon wafers to judge the stability of the textured surface on line within a preset time interval. The monitoring efficiency can be improved by detecting the silicon wafers subjected to the texturing of the preset batch; and the accuracy of monitoring is improved by selecting the preset number of silicon wafers for testing.
Optionally, the a value and the R value are measured by using a three-dimensional interference microscope, specifically: more than 3 points are selected on the wool making surface, and the points are respectively tested and averaged.

By limiting the resistivity of the silicon wafer, the difference of photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery caused by the difference of the silicon wafer is reduced, and the monitoring accuracy is improved.
