Fig. 1 is a schematic view of a top view of the tray 100, fig. 2 is a schematic view of a bottom view of the tray 100, and fig. 3 is a side view of the tray 100. Referring to fig. 1 to 3, a tray 100 according to a first aspect of the present invention is configured in a slide apparatus 200 (refer to fig. 5 for assistance) used in a tubular PECVD apparatus and holds a substrate 101, and includes: a first conductor 102 and a second conductor 103. An insulating medium 106 is provided between the first conductor 102 and the second conductor 103. One of the first conductor 102 and the second conductor 103 may be connected to a first electrode 104 disposed in the tubular PECVD apparatus. The other of the first conductor 102 and the second conductor 103 may be connected to a second electrode 105 of the tubular PECVD apparatus. The substrate 101 is held in one of the first conductor 102 and the second conductor 103.

In this embodiment, the tray 100 can be applied not only to the slide device 200 configured for use in a tubular PECVD apparatus, but also to applications such as symmetric electrodes or asymmetric electrodes, thereby expanding the use scenarios of the slide device.

Specifically, for example, in a conventional tubular PECVD apparatus, symmetrical electrodes are generally used in order to increase the throughput, and one substrate 101 is placed on each electrode. For this purpose, a tubular PECVD apparatus employs a medium frequency plasma source. However, the frequency of the medium frequency plasma source is low, and the bombardment of the plasma may cause damage to the substrate of the solar cell, which may affect the quality of the solar cell.

Accordingly, when the RF plasma source (for example, the first electrode 104 is used as an emitter (RF) of the RF power source, and the second electrode 105 is used as a ground of the RF power source) is applied to the PECVD apparatus, it is advantageous to improve the quality of the solar cell. This is because the rf plasma source has advantages of high frequency and small plasma bombardment, and the use of the rf plasma source can reduce the bombardment of the plasma on the base material (e.g., silicon wafer) of the solar cell, and thus can improve the quality of the solar cell.

However, since the rf electrode is an asymmetric electrode (there is a bias), when the rf plasma source is used, the speed of transfer of ions to the rf terminal is different from the speed of transfer of ions to the ground terminal, which may cause a difference between the long film speed of the substrate 101 held at the conductor connected to the emitter terminal and the long film speed of the substrate 101 held at the conductor connected to the ground terminal, and may cause a difference in the deposited film thickness of the substrate 101.

Therefore, in the present embodiment, when the RF plasma source is turned on (for example, the first electrode 104 is used as an emitter (RF) of the RF power source, and the second electrode 105 is used as a ground of the RF power source), the substrate 101 is held on one of the conductors of the tray 100 in order to suppress the problem of the film thickness variation between the substrates 101. Further, in the case where the base material 101 is held only on one of the two conductors (the first conductor 102 and the second conductor 103), in order to increase the chip-loading amount of the chip-loading device 200, an insulating medium 106 is provided between the first conductor 102 and the second conductor 103 to reduce the thickness of the tray 100 as much as possible as a whole, thereby achieving an increase in the number of trays 100 as a whole and thus an increase in the chip-loading amount of the chip-loading device 200.

Thus, when the tray 100 of the present embodiment is used in a tubular PECVD apparatus provided with symmetrical electrodes, it is possible to achieve a wafer loading amount substantially the same as that of a conventional graphite boat. When used in a tubular PECVD apparatus provided with, for example, an asymmetric electrode (e.g., a radio frequency power supply), the throughput of the tubular PECVD apparatus can be maintained while the coating quality of the substrate 101 is improved.

Specifically, the base material 101 (indicated by a chain line in the drawing) may be, for example, a silicon wafer in a sheet form, a glass sheet, or the like, which can be used as a substrate of an HJT solar cell. However, the substrate 101 is not limited thereto, and may be any member capable of depositing a coating film in a PECVD apparatus.

Specifically, the tubular PECVD apparatus may be, for example, a horizontal tubular PECVD apparatus.

The tray 100 will be described in detail below.

In some embodiments, the first conductor 102 and the second conductor 103 are each plate-shaped. Specifically, the material of the plate-like first conductor 102 and the second conductor 103 that can conduct electricity is not particularly limited as long as it can be applied to a PECVD apparatus, and, for example, a metal material such as stainless steel, a graphite material, a carbon fiber material, or the like can be selected.

In order to reduce the distance between the first conductor 102 and the second conductor 103 and to achieve effective insulation, an insulating medium 106 is provided between the first conductor 102 and the second conductor 103.

Specifically, for example, the insulating medium 106 includes a first insulating member 107 sandwiched between the first conductor 102 and the second conductor 103. Specifically, the first insulator 107 has a flat plate shape, for example, and the first conductor 102 and the second conductor 103 are respectively bonded to both surfaces of the first insulator 107. Thus, the thickness of the tray 100 can be reduced so that the first insulating material 107 is sandwiched between the first conductor 102 and the second conductor 103. The material of the first insulating member 107 is not particularly limited as long as it can be applied to a PECVD apparatus and can be processed into a plate shape, and for example, an insulating material such as glass, ceramic, alumina, or silicon carbide can be selected.

Further, the base material 101 is held on one of the first conductor 102 and the second conductor 103, that is, the tray 100 preferably holds the base material 101 on only one conductor as a whole. Therefore, in order to reduce the thickness of the tray 100, thereby increasing the number of the trays 100 as a whole, and further increasing the loading amount of the chip loading device 200, the thickness T1 of the first insulating member 107 is, for example, 5mm or less, and the thinner the thickness, the better, in the case where the insulation can be performed efficiently and the strength of the entire first insulating member 107 can be ensured. By reducing the thickness T1 of the first insulating member 107 as much as possible, it is possible to achieve a reduction in the thickness of the tray 100 as a whole, thereby achieving an increase in the number of trays 100 as a whole, and thus an increase in the loading amount of the slide device 200.

Further, in some embodiments, the first insulator 107 covers at least the side of the first conductor 102 and the second conductor 103 opposite to each other. Specifically, since the thickness of the first insulating member 107 is made as thin as possible in order to reduce the thickness of the tray 100 as much as possible, in this case, the distance between the first conductor 102 and the second conductor 103 is close. In the present embodiment, by providing the first insulating member 107 so as to cover at least the surfaces of the first conductor 102 and the second conductor 103 which face each other, conduction between the first conductor 102 and the second conductor 103 can be effectively prevented. Specifically, for example, the first insulating member 107 has a substantially rectangular plate shape. The first conductor 102 includes a first body portion 108 having a substantially rectangular shape. The second conductor 103 includes a second body portion 109 having a substantially rectangular shape. The first insulating member 107 is sandwiched between the first body portion 108 and the second body portion 109. Both sides of the first insulating member 107 in the width direction (left-right direction in the drawing) extend outward by, for example, 20mm with respect to both sides of the first main body portion 108 and the second main body portion 109 in the width direction (left-right direction in the drawing). Similarly, both sides of the first insulating member 107 in the longitudinal direction (front-rear direction in the drawing) extend outward by 20mm, for example, with respect to both sides of the first main body 108 and the second main body 109 in the longitudinal direction (front-rear direction in the drawing). Thereby, the first insulator 107 can effectively prevent conduction between the first conductor 102 and the second conductor 103.

Fig. 4 is a side view of the tray 100 a. Referring to fig. 4, in some embodiments, to further reduce the thickness of the tray 100, the insulating medium 106 may also include an insulating layer 110, the insulating layer 110 being formed on at least a surface of one of the first and second conductors 102, 103, and the insulating layer 110 being opposite the other of the first and second conductors 102, 103. For example, the insulating layer 110 may be formed on the upper surface of the first conductor 102, and the insulating layer 110 may be attached to the lower surface of the second conductor 103 in an opposed manner. Specifically, in the case where insulation can be effectively performed, a coating or plating layer such as a ceramic layer, an aluminum oxide layer, or the like may be formed on a surface (upper surface) of the first conductor 102 opposing the second conductor 103 and/or a surface (lower surface) of the second conductor 103 opposing the first conductor 102. This can further reduce the thickness of the tray 100.

In addition, although the above description has been made of the example in which the first insulating member 107 is provided as the insulating medium 106 between the first conductor 102 and the second conductor 103, or the insulating layer 110 is formed on the surface of the first conductor 102 and/or the second conductor 103, respectively, the present invention is not limited thereto. The insulating medium 106 may also include both the first insulating member 107 and the insulating layer 110.

With continued reference to fig. 3 and 4, in some embodiments, in the case of a tubular PECVD apparatus using an rf plasma source, in order to improve the coating efficiency of the substrate 101, the first conductor 102 is connected to a first electrode (i.e., the emitter of the rf power supply) 104, the second conductor 103 is connected to a second electrode (i.e., the emitter of the rf power supply) 105, and the substrate 101 is held on the second conductor 103. Specifically, taking one tray 100 as an example, the first conductor 102 is provided on one side (lower side in the drawing) in the thickness direction (up-down direction in the drawing) of the tray 100, and is connected to the first electrode 104 of the radio frequency power supply. The second conductor 103 is provided on the other side (upper side in the drawing) in the thickness direction of the tray 100, and is connected to the second electrode 105 of the radio frequency power supply. A first insulator 107 (where present) is sandwiched between the second conductor 103 and the first conductor 102. The substrate 101 is held on a second conductor 103 connected to a second electrode 105. Therefore, the film growing rate of the substrate 101 can be increased, and the film coating efficiency of the substrate 101 can be improved.

With continued reference to fig. 1, in some embodiments, in order to reliably hold the base material 101, the second conductor 103 is provided with a holding portion 111 for holding the base material 101. The holding portion 111 is not particularly limited as long as it can hold the base material 101. For example, the holding unit 111 may hold the substrate 101 horizontally (i.e., the substrate 101 is fed into a vacuum chamber of a PECVD apparatus such that a film deposition surface thereof is parallel to a horizontal direction). The holding unit 111 may hold the substrate 101 vertically (i.e., the substrate 101 is fed into the vacuum chamber of the PECVD apparatus with the film deposition surface thereof parallel to the vertical direction), or the holding unit 111 may hold the substrate 101 obliquely (i.e., the substrate 101 is fed into the vacuum chamber of the PECVD apparatus with the film deposition surface thereof inclined with respect to the parallel direction or the vertical direction). Further, the second conductor 103 may be provided with a plurality of holding portions 111, and the holding portions 111 may be provided in plurality in the longitudinal direction and/or the width direction of the second conductor 103.

In some embodiments, the holding portion 111 holds the base material 101 horizontally in order to suppress a problem of plating around the other surface of the base material 101. Specifically, for example, the holding portion 111 includes a groove 112 opened on the second conductor 103, and the base material 101 is held horizontally in the groove 112. Thus, the base material 101 can be reliably attached to the second conductor 103 due to its own weight in a state of being horizontally held in the groove 112. Thereby, the problem of the plating wrap that may exist on the other surface of the base material 101 can be suppressed.

In addition, in the case where the holding portion 111 holds the base material 101 vertically, the holding portion 111 may include a stuck point (not shown) attached to the second conductor 103, and the base material 101 is held vertically at the stuck point.

The overall structure of the slide device 200 is described in detail below.

Fig. 5 is a perspective view of the slide device 200 with the tray 100, fig. 6 is a side view of the slide device 200, fig. 7 is a partial enlarged view at a in fig. 6, and fig. 8 is a partial enlarged view at B in fig. 7. Referring to fig. 5-8, in some embodiments, to securely hold each tray 100, slide device 200 further includes a base 201, base 201 supporting a plurality of trays 100 spaced apart in a vertical direction (up-down direction in the drawings). Specifically, the base 201 includes, for example, two bases, which are respectively located on both sides in the width direction (left-right direction in the drawing) of the slide device 200. The base 201 extends in the longitudinal direction (front-rear direction in the drawing) of the tray 100. The two bases 201 are connected by a plurality of first connecting rods 202 arranged at intervals in the longitudinal direction of the bases 201, respectively. Further, support bases 203 are provided at both ends of each base 201 in the longitudinal direction, respectively, and the support bases 203 are used to support the entire slide glass apparatus 200 on an insulating rod (not shown) of the tubular PECVD apparatus.

Referring to fig. 7 with additional reference to fig. 6, in some embodiments, to securely hold each tray 100, a second insulating member 204 is disposed between each adjacent two trays 100, the second insulating member 204 separating the adjacent two trays 100. Specifically, the slide device 200 further includes a plurality of pillars 205, and a portion of the plurality of pillars 205 is mounted on the base 201 and extends in a direction perpendicular to the base 201 (up and down direction in the drawing). The first conductor 102, the second conductor 103, and the first insulator 107 of each tray 100 are provided with mounting holes 113 on both sides in the width direction, respectively, for allowing the posts 205 to pass through. Thus, the trays 100 are stacked at intervals in a direction perpendicular to the base 201 by the columns 205 and the second insulating member 204. The second insulating member 204 is in the shape of a sleeve and is fitted over the pillar 205. The second insulating members 204 and the trays 100 are arranged in a staggered manner, and both ends of the second insulating members 204 in the axial direction abut against the two adjacent trays 100, respectively. Thereby, the second insulating member 204 can separate the two trays 100. The material of the second insulating member 204 is not particularly limited as long as it can reliably support and space the tray 100, and for example, a ceramic material may be selected. The axial length of the second insulating member 204 is not particularly limited as long as it can insulate the two trays 100 from each other. For example, 10mm to 14mm may be selected from the viewpoint of increasing the number of trays 100 to increase the loading amount of the slide device 200 as a whole.

In addition, although the slide device 200 is illustrated as being spaced apart in the vertical direction (i.e., substantially vertically spaced apart in the operating state), the present invention is not limited thereto. The slide devices 200 may also be spaced horizontally (i.e., substantially horizontally spaced in the operational state) with reference to known graphite boat configurations.

Referring to fig. 8 with additional reference to fig. 5, in some embodiments, to simplify the access structure of the rf power source, the slide device 200 further comprises: a first conduction part 114 and a second conduction part 115. The first conduction portion 114 is connected to one of the first conductor 102 and the second conductor 103 of each tray 100. The second conduction parts 115 are connected to the other of the first conductor 102 and the second conductor 103 of the tray 100, respectively. The following description will be given taking an example in which the first conduction portion 114 is connected to the first conductor 102 of each tray 100, and the second conduction portion 115 is connected to the second conductor 103 of each tray 100. Note that, since the manner in which the first conductive portion 114 is connected to the first conductor 102 is substantially the same as the manner in which the second conductive portion 115 is connected to the second conductor 103, the description will be given mainly by taking the manner in which the first conductive portion 114 is connected to the first conductor 102 as an example.

Specifically, the first conduction part 114 includes a plurality of first conductive pieces 116 and a second conductive piece 117 for connection with the first electrode 104 of the radio frequency power supply. One first lug portion 118 is provided on each of both sides in the longitudinal direction of the first conductor 102, and the first lug portion 118 and the first body portion 108 are integrally formed. Between two adjacent trays 100, a first conductive block 116 is disposed, and the first conductive blocks 116 are respectively connected to the first conductors 102 of the two trays 100. The second conductive piece 117 is provided at, for example, an intermediate position in the vertical direction of the plurality of trays 100 distributed at intervals, and connects the first conductors 102 of the plurality of trays 100 at the intermediate position to each other. In addition, one end of the second conductive block 117 is further provided with a first connection hole 119, for example, to allow the first electrode 104 of the radio frequency power supply to be inserted. Thus, the first electrode 104 of the rf power source can be inserted into the first connection hole 119 in a state where the slide device 200 is fed into the tubular PECVD apparatus. Therefore, only one first connection hole 119 can be arranged on the slide device 200, namely, the first electrode 104 of the radio frequency power supply can be connected with the first conductor 102 of each tray 100, and the access structure of the radio frequency power supply is simplified.

Similarly, the second conduction part 115 also includes a plurality of third conductive pieces 120 and a fourth conductive piece 121 for connecting with the second electrode 105 of the rf power supply. One second lug part 122 is also provided on each of both sides in the longitudinal direction of the second conductor 103. Third conductive piece 120 and fourth conductive piece 121 connect second conductors 103 to each other at second lug portion 122 of second conductors 103, respectively. Likewise, one end of the fourth conductive block 121 is provided with a second connection hole 123 allowing the second electrode 105 of the radio frequency power supply to be inserted. Thus, the second electrode 105 of the radio frequency power source can be inserted into the second connection hole 123 in a state where the slide device 200 is fed into the tubular PECVD apparatus.

In some embodiments, in order to further simplify the access structure of the rf power source, the first conducting part 114 and the second conducting part 115 are respectively located on the same side in the length direction of the tray 100. Specifically, for example, the first conduction part 114 and the second conduction part 115 are respectively provided on one side (rear side in the drawing) of the slide glass apparatus 200 in the longitudinal direction at the furnace tail end of the PEVCD device. Therefore, the first electrode 104 and the second electrode 105 of the radio frequency power supply can be respectively accessed from the furnace tail end of the PEVCD equipment, and the access structure of the radio frequency power supply can be simplified.

Although the above description has been given by way of example in which the first conduction part 114 and the second conduction part 115 are provided on the same side in the longitudinal direction of the tray 100, the present invention is not limited thereto. For example, the first conduction part 114 and the second conduction part 115 may be provided on the same side in the width direction (left or right side in the drawing) of the tray 100.

Thus, in the slide loading device 200 of the present embodiment, since the plurality of trays 100 are provided at intervals, the loading amount of the slide loading device 200 can be increased compared to the known plate-type PECVD apparatus.

In the slide glass apparatus 200 according to the present embodiment, since the first conductor 102 and the second conductor 103, which can be connected to the first electrode 104 and the second electrode 105 of the rf power supply, are provided in each tray 100, the rf power supply can be connected to the tubular PECVD apparatus, and the quality of the coating film on the substrate 101 can be improved.

In the chip loading device 200 according to the present embodiment, the first conductor 102 and the second conductor 103 of each tray 100 are insulated from each other by the insulating medium 106 (e.g., the first insulating material 107, the insulating layer 110, etc.), so that the thickness of the tray 100 can be reduced, and the chip loading amount of the chip loading device 200 can be further increased.

In the chip loading device 200 of the present embodiment, the first conductor 102 and the second conductor 103 of each tray 100 are insulated from each other by the insulating medium 106 (e.g., the first insulating material 107, the insulating layer 110, etc.), so that the thickness of the tray 100 can be reduced, and even when the tray is connected to a symmetrical electrode, the loading amount can be substantially maintained as in the conventional graphite boat structure.

In the slide glass apparatus 200 according to the present embodiment, the substrates 101 can be held by the second conductors 103 connected to the second electrodes (ground terminals) 105 of the radio frequency power supply, respectively, so that the plating efficiency of the substrates 101 can be improved.

In the slide glass apparatus 200 according to the present embodiment, since each tray 100 can hold the base material 101 horizontally, the problem of the plating around which the other surface of the base material 101 may be formed can be suppressed, and the quality of the plating can be improved.

Further, in the chip loading device 200 of the present embodiment, since the first conduction part 114 and the second conduction part 115 can be disposed on the same side of the chip loading device 200, the access structure of the radio frequency power supply can also be simplified.
