Definitions
- the invention relates to a method according to the preamble of claim 1 for the local high doping and contacting of a semiconductor structure which is a solar cell or a precursor of a solar cell and comprises a semiconductor substrate of a basic doping type.
- solar cell structures are known in which the back side of the semiconductor substrate is covered substantially over the whole area with a silicon nitride or silicon dioxide layer, so that low surface recombination rates are achieved. Only at point contacts the passivating layer is opened in a punctiform manner and there is an electrically conductive connection to a metallic contacting layer. An increase in efficiency will
- CONFIRMATION COPY achieved by a local high doping in the area of the point contacts, since a reduction of the back recombination and additionally a reduction of the contact resistance between the metallic contacting layer and the semiconductor substrate is achieved by the local high doping.
- a solar cell structure is, for example, the PERL structure (passivated emitter, rear locally defused), as described in J. Benick, B. Hoex, G. 1973mans, A. Richter, M. Hermle, and SW Glunz "High-efficiency n "Silicon Solar Cells with Front Side Boron Emitter,” described in Proceedings of the 24th European Solar Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference (Hamburg, Germany), 2009.
- This structure which allows back contacting to achieve high efficiencies, is required in manufacturing in addition to the additional diffusion to achieve the high doping regions some additional Fotolith growing suitse so that an industrial implementation of this solar cell structure is not practical or at least very expensive.
- a solar cell structure with low recombination rates at the back could be realized by the HIT structure, which allows a simpler industrial implementation compared to the PERL structure.
- the HIT structure is described in EP 1 187 223 A2 and M. Taguchi, Y. Tsunomura, H. Inoue, S. Taiira, T. Nakashima, T. Baba, H. Sakata, and E. Maruyama. HIT solar cell on thin ( ⁇ 100 ⁇ ) silicon wafer, "in Proceedings of the 24th European Photovoltaic Solar Energy Conference (Hamburg, Germany), 2009.
- a heterojunction is formed on the back side of a HIT solar cell by forming a layered structure with a HIT solar cell
- the layer of intrinsic amorphous silicon ensures highly efficient passivation of the backside and thus low recombination rates for the minority charge carriers
- the layer has to be thin enough to transport charge carriers via tunneling processes to the overlying dopier te layer of a-morphem silicon to allow. It follows that the requirements on the layer thicknesses and the quality of the amorphous silicon layers are very high, in particular in the accuracy in the application of the layers in terms of the layer thickness and also the material quality. Only if these high requirements guaranteed, high efficiencies can be achieved with this solar cell concept.
- the invention is therefore based on the object to provide a method for local high doping and contacting a semiconductor structure, which is a solar cell or a precursor of a solar cell and comprises a silicon semiconductor substrate of a Basisdot michstyps.
- the method is intended to provide a local high doping and contacting of the semiconductor structure, which enables the production of a solar cell with high efficiencies and, moreover, be technically inexpensive compared to previously known methods and thus industrially and inexpensively implementable.
- the inventive method is used for local high doping and contacting a semiconductor structure, which is a solar cell or a precursor of a solar cell.
- the semiconductor structure comprises a silicon semiconductor substrate of a base doping type. Doping types here are the n-doping type or the p-type doping opposite thereto.
- the inventive method is applicable to solar cells with both n-, and with p-doped base.
- the high doping and contacting takes place by generating a plurality of local high doping regions of the basic doping type in the semiconductor substrate on a contacting side of the semiconductor substrate and applying a metallic contacting layer on the contacting or possibly one or more the contacting fully or partially covering intermediate layers, so that electrically conductive connections between the metallic contacting layer and the semiconductor substrate are formed at the high doping regions.
- a layer structure covering the contacting side of the semiconductor substrate is produced.
- the layer structure comprises a Doping layer containing a dopant of the basic doping type.
- the doping layer is formed as a layer of amorphous silicon or as
- An essential component of the amorphous doping layer is thus silicon as well as the dopant of the basic doping type and optionally
- atomic percentages here and below always refer to a reference atomic density (100at%) of crystalline silicon, as is common in the art, since the exact atomic density of the deposited layers is not known.
- the layer structure further comprises a reflection layer.
- the reflection layer is designed such that, at least in the wavelength range between 800 nm and 1200 nm, it has a refractive index n R which is smaller than the refractive index n HS of the semiconductor substrate.
- the doping layer follows in the layer sequence before the reflection layer.
- a method step B the layer structure and the underlying surface of the semiconductor substrate are locally heated at a plurality of zones to form local high-doping regions.
- the local heating takes place in such a way that locally a melt mixture of at least one of the local doping layer of the layer structure and a partial region of the semiconductor substrate is formed on the contacting side at the zones of local heating.
- a high doping region which is more heavily doped by at least the dopant of the doping layer than the base doping of the semiconductor substrate, forms in the semiconductor substrate on the contacting side.
- a metallic contacting layer is applied to form an electrically conductive connection between the semiconductor substrate and the contacting layer at the high-doping regions.
- the local high doping and contacting produced by the method according to the invention thus has the advantages that, by applying the layer structure on the contacting side, electrical passivation of the contacting side of the semiconductor substrate takes place and thus already a reduction in the surface recombination velocity at the contacting side is achieved.
- the local melting of the doping layer results in a local high doping of the semiconductor substrate at a plurality of regions, wherein the electrical contacting takes place by electrically conductive connections between the metallic contacting layer and the semiconductor substrate at the high contacting regions, so that, as described above, a further reduction of the Total recombination occurs at the contacting side and the total contact resistance at the contacting side.
- the reflection layer and the metallic contacting layer an increased reflection at the contacting side is achieved, at least in the wavelength range between 800 nm and 1200 nm, so that in this wavelength range in particular electromagnetic radiation is reflected back into the semiconductor substrate and thereby additionally the light output the solar cell and thus the efficiency is further increased.
- the inventive method further has the advantages that no Fotolith treating administrate are necessary and can be used to carry out the method according to the invention already known, industrially implementable method:
- the application of the layers mentioned can take place over the entire surface, so that, in particular, no expensive masking steps are necessary.
- CVD Chemical Vapor Deposition
- PECVD Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition
- PVD Physical Vapor Deposition
- the local heating of the layer structure represents a cost-effective and easily industrially implementable method step for generating local high doping.
- the method described here can be used to generate the local high-doping regions in method step B of the method according to the invention, so that established methods which can already be used industrially can also be used here.
- the process according to the invention does not involve contacting by local heating.
- method step B only the local high doping is generated by locally producing a melt mixture from the layers of the layer structure and a subregion of the semiconductor substrate.
- the contacting takes place in method step C by the metal contacting layer being preferably applied over the whole area to the layer structure, whereby the electrically conductive connection between the semiconductor substrate and the contacting layer is formed at the high doping regions.
- the layer structure additionally comprises an amorphous passivation layer with a silicon content of at least 90 at%.
- the passivation layer has no dopant of the basic doping type or only a negligible concentration of less than 1 ⁇ 10 19 cm -3 of such a dopant Doping layer formed.
- the passivation layer is preferably applied directly and / or over the whole area to the contacting side of the semiconductor substrate.
- the insulator layer essentially ensures the low surface recombination velocity at the contacting side of the semiconductor substrate, allows the doping layer to generate the local high-doping regions in method step B and, through the reflective layer, the optical quality of the contacting side, in particular in the wavelength range between 800 nm and 1200 nm elevated.
- a further advantage of the method according to the invention is that all layers applied in method step A can remain on the solar cell and thus need not be removed again in technically complicated and possibly impurities or impurities in the semiconductor substrate causing further process steps. This further reduces the cost of the manufacturing process and at the same time avoid sources of error that can affect the efficiency of the solar cell.
- the passivation layer preferably has a thickness between 5 nm and 100 nm, preferably between 30 nm and 50 nm. This achieves an optimization between the total process time required for applying the layer structure on the one hand and the passivation effect on the other hand.
- the passivation layer is preferably formed as a silicon carbide layer (SiC x ), preferably with a carbon content of less than 10 at%. This achieves a very good passivation effect.
- the doping layer preferably has a thickness between 10 nm and 100 nm, preferably between 30 nm and 50 nm. This also results in an optimization between see the doping effect when generating the local high doping regions and a short process time when generating the layer structure.
- the doping layer preferably contains dopant in a concentration greater than 1 ⁇ 10 20 cm -3 .
- the main function of the doping layer is to provide the dopant for doping the high doping regions.
- a liquid-liquid diffusion to take place between the fused partial regions of the doping layer and the semiconductor substrate during melting, since this results in a particularly fast and efficient doping of the fused partial region of the semiconductor substrate.
- the doping layer has approximately the melting point of the semiconductor substrate.
- a doping layer without carbon has the disadvantage of being unstable to heating of, for example, about 400 ° C.
- process steps with such temperatures are often used after application of the contacting layer to improve the contact properties (so-called "annealing steps").
- the doping layer therefore preferably has a low carbon content. so that, on the one hand, the melting point of the doping layer is only slightly increased, thus ensuring a liquid-liquid diffusion as described above, and at the same time the doping layer is resistant to heating to 400 ° C., in particular in tempering steps.
- the doping layer is therefore preferably formed as a silicon carbide layer, which has carbon, wherein preferably the carbon content is between 0 at% and 10 at%, in particular preferably in the range between 2 at% and 10 at%.
- the reflective layer is preferably formed as an amorphous, silicon-containing layer, such as silicon oxide or silicon nitride. This has the advantage that such a layer is technically easy to produce. Likewise, the formation of the reflection layer as an aluminum oxide layer or titanium dioxide layer or magnesium fluoride layer is within the scope of the invention.
- the reflection layer preferably has a thickness between 50 nm and 300 nm, preferably between 100 nm and 300 nm. This results in an optimization of increasing the optical quality on the one hand and a reduction in the total process time when generating the layer system on the other hand.
- the reflection layer is preferably formed as a silicon carbide layer.
- the reflection layer preferably has a carbon content of greater than 40 at%, in particular greater than 50 at%.
- the carbon content of the reflection layer is an essential parameter with regard to the resulting refractive index of the reflection layer.
- a refractive index of less than 2.5 is achieved in the wavelength range between 800 nm and 1200 nm, so that a lower refractive index relative to the refractive index of (carbon-free) silicon in this wavelength range is achieved and the increase in the optical quality at the contacting side of the semiconductor substrate is guaranteed.
- the reflection layer at least in the wavelength range between 800 nm and 1200 nm, a refractive index n R less than 2.5 and greater than 1 to achieve the aforementioned optical quality.
- cleaning of at least the contacting side of the semiconductor substrate is preferably carried out before method step A, so that any impurities or minor crystal defects are eliminated.
- wet-chemical cleaning is suitable for this purpose.
- all layers are preferably produced by means of low-temperature processes at temperatures of less than 300 ° C.
- the inventive method is also applicable to solar cell structures, the heterostructures, for example, on the the contacting side opposite side of the semiconductor substrate. Process steps above the stated limit temperature could damage heterostructures.
- the application of the aforementioned layers for producing the layer system in method step A- is possible with previously known methods, in particular by means of PECVD, at temperatures smaller than the aforementioned limit temperature.
- the method according to the invention is thus particularly suitable for the formation of highly efficient silicon solar cells which have a so-called hetero-emitter, ie an emitter formed by depositing a doped layer which has a doping type opposite to the basic doping type.
- the method according to the invention is also applicable to solar cell structures which have one or more emitters produced by diffusion in the semiconductor substrate.
- the layer structure in method step A is preferably produced by PECVD, because here it is possible to make use of existing installations for industrial use and existing process parameters for producing these layers.
- the generation of the doping layer or other dopant-containing layers by adding a doping gas during the deposition process, in particular preferably by the addition of phosphine gas.
- the local heating in process step B is preferably carried out by a laser and is particularly preferably according to DE 100 46 170 A1 and E.
- the heating is carried out by a pulsed laser, as a result, sufficient heating to achieve the melt mixture can be achieved.
- the wavelength of the laser is preferably less than 1200 nm, since at larger wavelengths, the absorption in silicon decreases sharply and no melting, but at best an ablation of the layers would take place.
- the application of a laser, which is deflected by a mirror system successively to different points of the contacting side for generating the high-doping regions is advantageous.
- recourse can be had to already existing devices with piezo-deflecting mirrors, so that a large number of high-doping regions can be generated at the contacting side in a short process time.
- the inventive method is basically applicable to the front and / or on the back of a solar cell or a precursor of a solar cell. If the method is applied to the front side of a solar cell, the metal layer is applied so that it covers the front only partially at least in the high doping regions, so that at the not covered by the metal layer regions, an entry of electromagnetic radiation into the semiconductor substrate is possible. Particularly advantageous is the application to the inventive method on the back of a solar cell or a precursor of a solar cell.
- the contacting side is therefore preferably the rear side facing away from the irradiation of electromagnetic radiation during operation of the solar cell.
- the inventive method is basically applicable both to solar cells with n-base dopants, as well as to solar cells with p-base doping.
- n-base doped silicon solar cells in particular, have great potential in industrial production.
- the n-doped silicon has advantages over the p-doped silicon inherent advantages in terms of material properties: There is no with the formation of dopant oxygen Complex associated degradation effect. The lifetime of the minority charge carriers is thus higher in both floating-zone silicon and in Czrochalsky silicon than p-doped silicon.
- the tolerance in n-doped silicon to impurities such as iron in terms of lifetime is higher compared with p-doped silicon.
- n-doped silicon is characterized by an increased conductivity at the same dopant concentration, which in particular increases the effectiveness of high-doping regions in the case of n-doping in comparison to high-doping regions in the case of p-doping. Accordingly, the highest efficiencies in solar cell production are currently achieved on the basis of solar cells with n-base doping.
- the method according to the invention is therefore preferably used with an n-base doping.
- the reflection layer primarily fulfills the function of effecting a reflection in the interaction with the metallization layer, at least in the infrared range (between 800 nm and 1200 nm).
- the reflection layer likewise preferably has a dopant in a concentration of more than 10 20 cm -3 . This has the advantage that no or only to a lesser extent a segregation of dopant into the reflection layer during the melting during the diffusion of dopant from the doping layer takes place and thus the dopant of the doping layer diffused substantially in the high doping region.
- the doping layer and, if appropriate, the passivation layer are formed as amorphous, silicon-containing layers.
- amorphous layers have good electrical passivation properties with respect to the surface recombination of the adjacent contacting side of the semiconductor substrate.
- the passivation effect improves with increasing layer thickness.
- layers of amorphous silicon compared to crystalline silicon have significantly lower electrical conductivities, so that the electrical continuity resistance increases with current flow perpendicular to the contact surface with increasing layer thickness.
- this is not disadvantageous in the method according to the invention, since the removal of charge carriers essentially takes place via the high-doping regions and the thereto closing point contacts made with the contacting layer.
- the doping and / or the passivation layer therefore preferably has a thickness of at least 30 nm, in particular of at least 50 nm. Because layers of amorphous silicon with such minimum thicknesses have a very good electrical passivation properties.
- FIG. 1 shows method steps 0 and A of an exemplary embodiment of the method according to the invention for local high doping and contacting of the back side of a silicon wafer
- FIG. 1 process steps B and C of the embodiment.
- FIGS. 1 and 2 show an exemplary embodiment of the method according to the invention for local high-doping and contacting of a semiconductor structure, which is a precursor of a silicon solar cell.
- like reference numerals designate like elements.
- the semiconductor substrate 1 formed as a silicon wafer has a homogeneous n-doping with a dopant concentration of 5 ⁇ 10 15 cm -3 .
- the solar cell to be produced is thus an n-type silicon solar cell.
- the semiconductor substrate 1 has a contacting side 1 a, which is the back side of the semiconductor substrate. At the finished solar cell takes place In operation, an exposure of the semiconductor substrate 1 with electromagnetic radiation on the contacting side 1 a opposite front side 1 b.
- a cleaning of the contacting side 1 a takes place first. This is done as per se known RCA cleaning, as in W. Kern, D. Puotinen: Cleaning Solutions Based on Hydrogen Peroxide for Use in Silicon Semiconductor Technology. In: RCA Review 1 87 (June 1970) and preferably comprises the following steps:
- a method step A the deposition of a layer structure takes place.
- the layer structure comprises a passivation layer 2, a doping layer 3 and a reflection layer 4.
- All three layers are deposited by means of PECVD and formed as amorphous silicon carbide layers.
- the layers differ in particular with regard to the content of carbon and dopant:
- the passivation layer 2 is deposited as an amorphous silicon carbide layer by means of PECVD.
- the layer thickness is preferably between 5 nm and 50 nm, in the exemplary embodiment illustrated here the layer thickness is 20 nm.
- the passivation layer 2 is an intrinsic layer, ie it has no dopant of the basic doping type (in this case no n-dopant).
- the passivation layer is formed as a silicon-rich layer and has a silicon content of over 90 at%. It is within the scope of the invention that the passivation layer has no carbon in the embodiment shown here, the doping layer is formed with a silicon content of 95 at%.
- the passivation layer 2 causes a saturation of the surface defects of the contacting side 1 a of the semiconductor substrate 1, so that an efficient reduction of the surface recombination speed is achieved at the contacting side and thus a high electrical quality with respect to the Rekombinationseigenschaften on the contacting side 1 a of the semiconductor substrate 1 is present.
- the doping layer 3 is deposited.
- the doping layer 3 is also formed as a silicon-rich amorphous silicon carbide layer and has a silicon content greater than 90 at%. Again, it is within the scope of the invention that the doping layer 3 has no carbon. In the present embodiment, the silicon content of the doping layer is 95 at%.
- the doping layer 3 has a high doping of a dopant of the basic doping type, preferably a dopant concentration greater than 10 20 cm -3 .
- the doping layer 3 is enriched with phosphorus in a concentration of 8 ⁇ 10 20 cm -3 .
- the doping is achieved by adding a doping gas, in the present exemplary embodiment phosphine, to the precursor gases during the deposition process during the deposition by means of PECVD.
- the doping layer 3 serves as a dopant source for forming the local high-doping regions in subsequent process steps.
- the doping layer 3 in combination with the passivation layer 2 increases the electrical quality of the contacting side 1 a of the semiconductor substrate 1 by reducing the recombination speed at the contacting side.
- the doping layer 3 is formed as a silicon-rich layer with a silicon content greater than 90 at%, because a silicon-rich layer has a lower melting temperature compared to a layer with a higher carbon content and thus a lower silicon content.
- a silicon-rich layer has a lower melting temperature compared to a layer with a higher carbon content and thus a lower silicon content.
- the doping layer and / or the passivation layer are formed with a carbon content of less than 10 at%, in particular preferably both layers have a carbon content of less than 10 at%.
- the doping layer 3 preferably has a layer thickness between 10 nm and 100 nm. In the present embodiment, the thickness of the doping layer is 50 nm.
- the reflection layer 4 is deposited.
- the reflection layer 4 is also formed as an amorphous silicon carbide layer and preferably has a layer thickness between 50 nm and 300 nm. In the present exemplary embodiment, the layer thickness of the reflection layer is 100 nm.
- the carbon content is selected to be higher in the case of the reflection layer 4. Accordingly, the reflection layer 4 preferably has a silicon content of less than 40 at%, in particular preferably less than 50 at%. In the present embodiment, the silicon content of the reflective layer is about 40 at% and the carbon content of the reflective layer is about 60 at%.
- the optical refractive index of the reflection layer is essentially determined by the carbon content and that for the reflection layer 4 a refractive index n R smaller than the refractive index of the semiconductor substrate 1, in particular smaller than 2.5 is advantageous in order to achieve a high optical quality of the back , in particular in the wavelength range between 800 nm and 1200 nm.
- n R in the range of 1, 8 to 2.3 is achieved.
- the primary function of the reflection layer 4, in conjunction with a subsequent contacting layer, is to improve the reflection properties in the infrared range, in particular in the wavelength range between 800 nm and 1200 nm, so that electromagnetic radiation is reflected in this wavelength range and thereby the optical luminous efficacy in the semiconductor substrate 1 and thus the efficiency of the solar cell is increased.
- the reflection layer 4 additionally comprises dopant of the base doping type, so that it serves as an additional dopant source for forming the high doping region and / or counteracts segregation of dopant from the doping layer into the reflection layer.
- a phosphorus concentration of about 5 ⁇ 10 20 cm -3 in the reflection layer 4 is achieved by adding phosphine gas as described above during the deposition of the reflection layer 4.
- the semiconductor substrate 1 with the layer structure produced in method step A is shown in FIG. 1A.
- a local heating of the layer structure and the underlying surface of the semiconductor substrate takes place at a plurality of zones to form local high-doping regions.
- a high doping region 6 is shown in the subfigures B and C respectively.
- the formation of the high-doping region is effected by local heating by means of a laser, wherein the laser is preferably a pulsed laser.
- FIG. 2B schematically shows a laser pulse 5.
- the local heating by means of the laser leads to a local melting of the of the passivation layer 2, the doping layer 3 and a portion of the semiconductor substrate 1 at the contacting side 1 a.
- the carbon-rich reflection layer compared to the other layers is ablated due to the higher melting point due to the local heating.
- the dopant dissolves from the doping layer 3 and in the present embodiment also from the reflection layer 4 in the melt mixture, so that after solidification of the melt mixture a high doping region 6 is present, as shown in Figures 2B and 2C.
- the brief local heating also results in a slight material removal, so that approximately the solidified melt mixture has a deeper surface compared with the reflection layer 4 surrounding the solidified melt mixture, as shown in FIG. 2B.
- a local high doping 6 is thus produced at the contacting side 1 a of the semiconductor substrate 1, so that a contacting of the semiconductor substrate is possible in which a low contact resistance is ensured on the one hand due to the high doping and on the other hand the recombination properties, in particular on the Contacting area, ie improved in particular in the high doping range, compared with a contact without Hochdot ists Symposium. As a result, there is thus a further increase in the overall efficiency of the solar cell.
- a metallic contacting layer 7 is subsequently applied. This is preferably carried out by application of a metal layer over the entire surface to the lowermost layer of the layer structure, in the present exemplary embodiment the reflection layer 4. This produces an electrically conductive contact between the contacting layer 7 and the high doping region 6.
- the application of the contacting layer 7 can be effected in a manner known per se, for example by vapor deposition of the contacting layer. Likewise, it is within the scope of the invention to use the already known types of metallization for rear side contacts in silicon solar cells, in particular to form the contact layer of aluminum. Likewise, the formation of the contacting layer 7 as a layer system consisting of several layers of different materials is within the scope of the invention.
- the contacting layer 7 is formed as an aluminum layer and applied by vapor deposition.
- a temperature step at a temperature between 300 ° C and 450 ° C the formation of the electrical contact between the contacting layer 7 and the semiconductor substrate 1 at the high doping region 6 is improved.
- passivation layer 2 takes place as previously stated by means of PECVD and in a manner known per se in a low-pressure environment.
- the application of layers by means of PECVD is known to the person skilled in the art and described, for example, in “Principles of plasma discharges and materials processing", MA Lieberman, AJ Lichtenberg, John Wiley & Sons, inc.
- the local heating in method step B by means of the laser is preferably carried out as described above in the previously known methods for the formation of point contacts by means of local heating by a laser.
- light pulses of a laser with a pulse duration of between 1 ns and 5 s are suitable for the method according to the invention in order to minimize the thermal load on the adjacent material layers, but at the same time maintain the thermal action for a long time in order to melt the layer system and of the silicon to a depth of about 100 nm to ensure a few pm, preferably depths between 0, 1 ⁇ to 10 ⁇ .
- Wavelengths in a range from 200 to 1200 nm are suitable as process wavelengths.
