Technical field
The utility model relates to the preparation field of silicon film material, and a kind of specifically medium frequency magnetron sputtering legal system is equipped with the sputter equipment of Nano thin film.
Background technology
To reducing silicon materials consumption, reducing the problem of solar cell cost, be that the thin-film solar cells of critical material demonstrates its unique charm with the silicon film today that solar battery technology is fast-developing.Silicon film solar batteries only has several microns usually with sensitive materials (silicon film) thickness, can save the HIGH-PURITY SILICON material in a large number.In addition; Its ME is simple, but big area continuous production less consumes energy; And can adopt lower cost materials such as glass or stainless steel as substrate, and also have the low light level simultaneously to respond characteristics preferably, be particularly suitable for being applied to desert photovoltaic plant and BIPV.At present, the silicon thin-film battery of industrialization mainly contains non-crystalline silicon and amorphous/microcrystalline silicon film battery.Non-crystalline silicon is a kind of good solar cell material, but because its optical band gap is 1.7eV, makes material itself insensitive to solar radiation spectrographic Long wavelength region, has limited the efficiency of conversion of non-crystal silicon solar cell.In addition, its defect state density is high, and photoelectric transformation efficiency can decay along with the continuity of light application time, and promptly so-called photic decline S-W effect makes battery performance unstable.Although the laboratory the highest transformation efficiency of amorphous silicon membrane battery has reached 13%, the stable conversion efficient of commercially available amorphous silicon film photovoltaic assembly is on the low side, is merely about 6-8%.Introduce microcrystal silicon layer in the amorphous silicon membrane battery structure, form amorphous/crystalline/micro-crystalline silicon laminated hull cell, improved the transformation efficiency and the stability of amorphous silicon membrane battery to a certain extent.The 1cm that in October, 2010, company of Kyocera announced 2Amorphous/crystalline/micro-crystalline silicon laminated hull cell transformation efficiency up to 13.8%.But the microcrystal silicon crystallization rate that common above-mentioned laminated cell adopted is low, and large-area uniformity is difficult to guarantee, make its industrialization product transformation efficiency be difficult to break through 10%, and its good article rate also only has about 60%.
Existing silicon thin-film battery at the experimental stage is mainly polysilicon and Nano thin film battery.But polycrystalline silicon film material has the big area of current carrier high mobility and the amorphous silicon material of single crystal silicon material, the advantage of low-cost preparation concurrently.The top efficiency that present laboratory is obtained reaches 18%; The efficiency of conversion of Japan Zhong Yuan (Kaneka) company pilot product is 12%; Also have bigger room for promotion, but (>600 ℃) completion under higher temperature usually of prior art for preparing polysilicon membrane is difficult to carry out scale of mass production.Nano thin film is because of receiving much concern in promising application aspect the photoelectric device (such as thin film solar cell).Compare with amorphous silicon membrane, Nano thin film shows strong carrier mobility, and being directed to photo attenuation has high stability, and is beneficial to the absorption of the interior light of region of ultra-red of solar spectrum.In January, 2011, American National renewable energy resources laboratory announced that three joint laminate film cell conversion efficiency of the introducing nanometer silicon layer of United Solar company are 12%, and the introducing of nanometer silicon layer makes the efficient of original battery improve nearly 50%.Obviously, the development thin-film solar cell of nano silicon is significant for the transformation efficiency that improves silicon-based film solar cells.Yet because nano-silicon belongs to indirect optics gap semiconductor, the Nano thin film solar cell needs the thick intrinsic layer of 2-3 μ m to absorb the sunshine of q.s.Therefore, to prepare the Nano thin film of high quality, fabricating low-defect-density be one of key that promotes Nano thin film battery commercialization process to two-forty.
The preparation method of Nano thin film mainly contains chemical Vapor deposition process (CVD) and magnetron sputtering method (PVD).Compare with the CVD method, magnetron sputtering method has the incorporation that can only adopt Ar work, H and is easy to regulate, does not exist environmental pollution and safety-problems and characteristics such as low for equipment requirements.Sputtering sedimentation prepares Nano thin film, and most research concentrates on adopts pulse direct current or radio-frequency magnetron sputter method.Yet the problems such as uniformity of film of low sedimentation rate, nonideal technology stability and difference all are present in the middle of above-mentioned two kinds of methods.In addition, cost an arm and a leg and the also application of limitation of radio frequency sputtering technology in commercialization Nano thin film preparation of resistance matching problem.The medium frequency magnetron sputtering that starts from eighties of last century late nineteen nineties is thought that extensively a kind of big area very cost-effectively prepares the means of semiconductor film fast.Usually the medium frequency magnetron sputtering system comprises the target that a pair of suspension is installed at least, and two target sizes are all identical with profile.On the one hand, in the semiconductor film deposition process, two targets are alternately as sputter cathode and anode; When added voltage was in negative half period on the target, target surface was by the positive ion bombardment sputter, and when positive half cycle; Electronics in the plasma body is accelerated to target surface; The positive charge that has neutralized and accumulated on the target surface remains the fresh of two target surfaces, thereby has suppressed sparking.When such two targets discharged, the stability on time and the space was guaranteed, thereby RF sputtering possesses excellent process repeatability and film equality in making.On the other hand, when two targets sputter anode and cathode each other replaces, between two targets in the glow plasma charged particle vibrate back and forth, strengthen the collision of itself and gaseous state neutral particle, thereby improve the plasma density of whole electrical discharge zone.The increase of plasma density makes the ion bombardment intensity enhancing that acts on target surface and substrate surface in the unit time, and the target surface sputter rate improves, be beneficial to the substrate upper film fast, fine and close, growth in high quality.In the intermediate frequency sputtering system, two magnetic controlling target layouts that are used for sputter have twin target and to two kinds of forms of target.Usually the twin target layout is two targets parallel side by side (TwinMag I) or angled each other (TwinMag II) relatively.People such as U.Heister research shows that TwinMag II layout has high sedimentation rate and target utilization and long target life.Therefore, the twin target layout that the form of employing TwinMag II is arranged more can satisfy in the industrial production, the requirement of the efficient film of preparation fast.
In addition, in the magnetic control sputtering system, the design meeting in magnetic controlling target magnetic field greatly influences sputter ability and the interior plasma density of the preceding discharge space of target and the distribution of target self.Usually the magnetic controlling target Magnetic Field Design is divided into equilibrium state and two kinds of nonequilibrium state, in the equilibrium state magnetic controlling target outer magnet magneticflow about equally, magneticline of force is in magnetic control target surface closure; Can be effectively plasma body (mainly being electronics) be constrained near the target surface, increases probability of collision, improve ionization efficient; Thereby just can build-up of luminance under lower operating air pressure and voltage and keep photoglow; Reduced the escape of target surface high energy secondary electron simultaneously, the ion current density that arrives substrate is little, usually about 10 -1MA/cm 2Magnitude, the suffered ion bombardment of substrate is little, helps realizing low temperature depositing; By comparison; The magneticline of force on nonequilibrium state magnetic controlling target surface is not closed; Magneticline of force can be along the border extended of target to substrate region, thereby portions of electronics and ion can expand to substrate along magneticline of force, have strengthened the specific ionization and the plasma density of substrate region; Substrate place saturation ion current density is big, can reach 1-10mA/cm usually 2Magnitude.Like this, change the non-equilibrium degree of magnetic control twin target, just can strengthen or weaken the plasma density and the ion bombardment intensity at substrate place.The target Magnetic Field Design of optimizing in addition also can improve target utilization, improves plasma body uneven distribution spatially, the thickness and the homogeneity of control large-area film deposition.In sum, the intermediate frequency twin target magnetic control sputtering system of employing target magnetic field optimization design is expected to realize the fast deposition of Nano thin film.
About adopting medium frequency magnetron sputtering to prepare silicon film; Rarely has report both at home and abroad; China Science in 2010 has reported that people such as Yu Wei adopt the intermediate frequency facing-target magnetron sputtering system to prepare the amorphous hydrogenated silicon film; Horse triumph in the same year waits the people to adopt the preparation amorphous silicon membrane to target medium frequency magnetron sputtering elder generation, utilizes the vacuum annealing processing under 550-950 ℃ of condition, to prepare crystallization rate then and is up to 45% Nano thin film.Although they adopt medium frequency magnetron sputtering to prepare the depositing silicon film, its deposited structure is amorphous, directly in substrate, does not prepare Nano thin film, even can obtain nano-silicon after the sample thermal treatment, but its crystallization rate is also very low; In addition, two target co-sputterings are very little to the high rate deposition contribution of film when adopting facing-target magnetron sputtering system, do not give full play of the fast characteristics of medium frequency magnetron sputtering deposition techniques speed.Magnetron sputtering deposition is mainly atomic deposition; The particle energy that deposits to substrate is all less, and during medium frequency magnetron sputtering depositing silicon film, because sedimentation rate is very fast; The mobility of substrate surface absorption Siliciumatom can further receive the restriction of the substrate silicon particle that arrives soon after; The relaxation that is unfavorable for unordered silicon network, therefore the forming core of silicon crystal grain and difficult growth are difficult to obtain the ideal Nano thin film.Obviously, it is significant to develop a kind of method of utilizing intermediate frequency twin target non-balance magnetically controlled sputter directly on substrate, to prepare Nano thin film fast based on above-mentioned background.
