Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method useful for transforming a reduced grain size silicon layer into a coarse grain crystallized silicon layer via a liquid phase silicon grain maturation process.
- Crystallized silicon in the form of grains larger than 20 ⁇ is indeed particularly interesting for its semiconducting properties in the context of the development of photovoltaic cells.
- photovoltaic cells are mainly made from monocrystalline silicon or polycrystalline.
- the most common crystalline silicon production line involves the solidification of ingots from a liquid silicon bath. These ingots are then cut into platelets that can be transformed into photovoltaic cells.
- the sawing of ingots leads to a loss of silicon material of the order of 50%. For obvious reasons, this loss of sawing material is detrimental to production yields.
- LPE Liquid Phase Epitaxy [1-2]
- CVD Chemical Vapor Deposition [3]
- the principle of the LPE is to bring to a high temperature, but lower than the melting temperature of silicon, a liquid bath comprising silicon and a solvent. Once the substrate to be coated introduced in contact with the bath, the growth is done by gradually lowering the bath temperature (0.1 ° C / min at 1 ° C / min).
- the advantages of technical are a moderate cost, a high solidification rate (typically 0.15 - 1.5 ⁇ / min) and the possibility of obtaining good quality crystalline layers.
- CVD technology is based on the decomposition of a gaseous precursor, silane or a chlorosilane, in the vicinity of the substrate to be coated.
- This technique proposes to produce a silicon wafer in two stages. The first consists of a hot pressing of a bed of powders in a mold, and the second, of a thermal sintering.
- the size of the starting crystallites must be submicron.
- the maturation during the process does not make it possible to obtain grains larger than 2 ⁇ , even after several hours at 1350 ° C. [5]. Such small sizes are unacceptable for photovoltaic substrate applications.
- S Reber et al [3] proposes a method requiring the surface of a sintered wafer by infrared or laser lamps to be heated to melt silicon on the surface to a thickness of the order of 10-20 ⁇ .
- the liquid silicon then recrystallizes in the form of grains of millimeter size on cooling.
- silicon is a high melting temperature material (1410 ° C) and very reactive. This reactivity can pose a number of problems, especially if the support to the silicon layer is not high purity. But in the fundamental objective of lowering the costs of photovoltaic energy, it is important to limit the constraints of purity on the materials used for this step of recrystallization.
- the present invention aims at providing a method useful for accessing a crystallized silicon layer having an average grain size greater than or equal to 20 ⁇ , from a silicon layer whose average grain size may be less than at 2 ⁇ .
- the present invention relates, according to a first of its aspects, to a method useful for forming a crystallized silicon layer formed of grains having an average size greater than or equal to 20 ⁇ , comprising at least the steps of:
- said heat treatment comprises heating the assembly formed by the silicon layer in contact with said liquid composition at a temperature below 1410 ° C and at least equal to the eutectic temperature in the solvent-silicon phase diagram .
- the temperature considered for the heat treatment is conducive to the evaporation of said liquid metal solvent and thus to obtaining a silicon supersaturation of said liquid composition.
- solvent is used in the present text to denote either a single metallic solvent or a mixture of metal solvents.
- utectic temperature means the lowest melting point in the solvent-silicon phase diagram.
- the "eutectic temperature" is the lowest melting point in the phase diagram of said solvent mixture with silicon.
- the fact that the composition is liquid implies that the melting point of the solvent is below 1410 ° C and / or that the solvent forms a eutectic with the silicon at a temperature below 1410 ° C.
- said heat treatment is carried out until total evaporation of said metal solvent.
- the silicon layer to (re) crystallize is not monocrystalline, which is advantageous in terms of cost.
- the layer of silicon to (re) crystallize is polycrystalline formed grains having an average size preferably less than or equal to 5 or 2 ⁇ .
- this silicon layer may be represented by a layer of sintered silicon, supported or not.
- the inventors have indeed found that it is possible to access from such a silicon layer to coarse-grained crystallized silicon via a maturation process carried out at a temperature significantly lower than that of the fusion of silicon.
- the inventors have found that contacting a specific liquid metal solvent and in melt with the silicon layer to (re) crystallize effectively controls the process of maturation of the grains forming this layer.
- the inventors have observed a silicon transport in the low melting point metal solvent. The evaporation of this metallic solvent makes it possible to control the supersaturation in silicon of the liquid phase and therefore the corresponding (re) crystallization phenomenon.
- the native oxide layer on the surface of the grains is stable at least up to temperatures of the order of 1000 ° C. to 1050 ° C. [5].
- the inventors have unexpectedly found that the ripening of grains is possible at such temperatures.
- the process of the invention is therefore particularly advantageous.
- the method of the invention implements, as starting silicon substrate, non-monocrystalline silicon layers and therefore inexpensive silicon, for example of the sintered silicon wafer type.

- the heat treatment is carried out at a temperature on the one hand below the melting temperature of the silicon, that is to say at 1410 ° C. and on the other hand adjusted to reach a compromise between the transport speed of the silicon in the liquid phase, generally favored by the high temperatures, and the limitation of the pollution induced by the material supporting the silicon layer to (re) crystallize, generally favored by the low temperatures.
