Abstract

A baking oven is described, for photovoltaic devices starting from semiconductor material characterized in that the entrainment of the semiconductor material inside the oven is effected by means of a series of rolls made of a ceramic material, which rotate on their own axis.

Description

The baking oven that is used for electrooptical device
The present invention relates to a kind of baking oven that is used for the electrooptical device made by semi-conducting material, it is characterized in that: the conveying of the semi-conducting material in the baking oven is by being made by ceramic material, realizing around a series of rollers of himself axis rotation.
The known wafer from semiconducting material of different-thickness that can adopt is made electrooptical device (usually said solar cell).
Among multi-form processing, the manufacturing of these electrooptical devices comprises the various baking process of material, and their effect is that doped chemical or metallic contact are affixed on the semiconductor, and doped chemical is dispersed in solution or the silk screen slurry.
In order to realize these bake process, use continuous baking oven, promptly in this baking oven, fill material and process and be not subjected to any interference.
Semi-conducting material is introduced these baking ovens normally by using a chain to finish, and this chain is held and the process baking oven by two outside rollers of cover.
But above-mentioned device has many-sided shortcoming, wherein the most important thing is:
(1) chain is made by metal material usually, the pollution of metal impurities part in this semi-conducting material that can cause handling;
(2) temperature curve that bears of semi-conducting material depends on carrier chain.Carrier chain has a thermal inertia greater than the thermal inertia of semi-conducting material to be baked usually, therefore when moving, brings semi-conducting material sizable heat.(for example 10-20 ℃/S) normally essential for optimization process but is very difficult but will obtain this curve to the curve of strong variations.
Patent application EP 1010960 relates to a kind of baking oven that is used for electrooptical device, and it is based on the non-interaction of baking oven heating system and conveying system.Especially, the roller of being made by quartz is by the friction campaign of a chain or belt, rather than independently moving.
Implement this patent, obtain the baking curve by the lamp heating, this can cause stability problem and consequent homogeneity question; And when roller motion is not when carrying out separately, conveying is heterogeneous.In addition, it is very expensive selecting to be used for the quartzy roller semiconductor heating, that can see through radiation.
Nowadays we find, are possible by using a kind of baking oven to overcome above-mentioned shortcoming, wherein, by the conveying of ceramic roller, carry semi-conducting material through described baking oven, and described ceramic roller is by one and belt drive unit and around self axis rotation.
Use highly purified ceramic material to produce roller and significantly reduced metallic pollution.In addition, be fixed on the appropriate location in the baking oven and when motion is carried in self axis rotation, do not have temperature transmission influence when the roller of carrying semi-conducting material by these rollers.In this way, even can obtain very steep temperature profile.
Given this, one object of the present invention relates to a kind of baking oven that is used to prepare the electrooptical device of being made by semi-conducting material, comprising:
(a) shell that limits by bending or flat sidewall, a top, a bottom and the wing passage that allows roller to insert;
(b) motor, described motor makes the roller motion same period by one with belt transmission;
(c) device that is used to keep the temperature constant in the shell (a);
(d) insulation system of shell (a);
(e) gas extraction system of the gas that forms in the bake process.
Shell preferably make by ceramic material and shell in roller spacing each other be such, that is, make in the process of roller rotation that semi-conducting material is stayed in these rollers three at least.
Being used for making the ceramic material of baking oven selects from the material that minimum chemical action takes place for the silicon dioxide of sintering, quartz and other and silicon.
The semi-conducting material that can be used for preparing electrooptical device is that the silicon chip of 100-500 micron is selected from thickness, perhaps thickness be from several microns to 100 microns thin layers of semiconductor material (film) selection.
The heating of baking oven can realize according to known method, for example by using the heating of resistance or infrared lamp.
The temperature of oven interior is usually in 100 ℃ to 1200 ℃ scope.
With reference to Fig. 1, provide the explanation of an exemplary embodiments of the present invention.This embodiment is a limiting the scope of the invention for exemplary never should being considered as.
Fig. 1 illustrates a kind of baking oven, and this baking oven is made up of the roller of arranging in order (1) of some, and roller (1) is made by the silicon dioxide of sintering, and all rollers are because motor (16) is done the motion same period by one (13) and belt drive unit (11).Cover (6) and top (5) thereof is also made by the silicon dioxide of sintering, and it is by a series of resistance (3) heating.Thereby keep steady state value by electronic installation control temperature.Baking oven is equipped with a framework (9), and framework surrounds the insulation system (2) of cover, and has the removal device (18) of a processing smog.

One embodiment is provided below, the function of apparatus of the present invention is described better.
Embodiment 1
Make a kind of baking oven to be used to spreading inferior phosphorus type impurity, this baking oven has a conveying system, and roller that conveying system is arranged in order by 300, that made by the silicon dioxide of sintering is formed.All rollers since motor (16) do by one and belt drive unit (13,11) to move the same period.The cover of being made by the silicon dioxide of sintering (6) heats by a series of resistance (3).
Thereby keep steady state value by electronic installation control temperature.When selected one 900 ℃ set point, the variations in temperature of observation is less than 0.5 ℃.
Silicon chip is put into above-mentioned baking oven, and wherein a kind of inferior phosphorus dopant deposits on this silicon chip.This process continues about 20 minutes.
Resulting like this silicon chip has been realized the good diffusion of inferior phosphorus impurities, thereby can be used to produce high-quality photocell.
