Definitions
- the present invention relates to a novel process for the preparation of printable, high viscosity oxide media and their use in solar cell manufacture, as well as the improved lifetime products produced using these novel media.
- a silicon wafer (monocrystalline, multicrystalline or quasi-monocrystalline, p- or n-type base doping) is freed of adherent saw damage by means of an etching process and "simultaneously", usually in the same etching bath, texturized in this case, the creation of a preferred Surface (texture) as a result of the etching step or simply to understand the targeted, but not particularly oriented roughening of the wafer surface
- the aforementioned etching solutions for treating the silicon wafers typically consist of dilute potassium hydroxide solution to which isopropyl alcohol has been added as solvent. Instead, other alcohols having a higher vapor pressure or higher boiling point than isopropyl alcohol may be added, provided that the desired etching result can be achieved thereby.
- the desired etch result is a morphology that is randomly-etched, or rather etched out of the original surface.
- Pyramids is characterized by square base.
- density the density
- the height and thus base area of the pyramids can be influenced by a suitable choice of the above-mentioned constituents of the etching solution, the etching temperature and the residence time of the wafers in the etching basin.
- Temperature range of 70 - ⁇ 90 ° C performed, with ⁇ tzabträge of up to 10 pm per wafer side can be achieved.
- the etching solution may consist of potassium hydroxide solution with an average concentration (10-15%).
- this etching technique is hardly used in industrial practice. More often becomes one
- Etching solution consisting of nitric acid, hydrofluoric acid and water used.
- This etching solution can be modified by various additives such as sulfuric acid, phosphoric acid, acetic acid, N-methylpyrrolidone and also surfactants, which u. a.
- Wetting properties of the etching solution and their etch rate can be specifically influenced.
- These acid etch mixtures produce a morphology of interstitially arranged etch pits on the surface.
- the etching is typically carried out at temperatures in the range between 4 ° C to ⁇ 10 ° C and the ⁇ tzabtrag here is usually 4 pm to 6 pm.
- the wafers are placed in a tube furnace in a controlled atmosphere quartz glass tube consisting of dried nitrogen, dried oxygen and phosphoryl chloride, exposed.
- the wafers are introduced at temperatures between 600 and 700 ° C in the quartz glass tube.
- the gas mixture is transported through the quartz glass tube.
- the phosphoryl chloride decomposes into a vapor consisting of phosphorus oxide (eg P2O5) and chlorine gas.
- the vapor of phosphorus oxide is deposited among other things on the wafer surfaces (occupancy).
- the silicon surface is oxidized at these temperatures to form a thin oxide layer. In this layer, the deposited phosphorus oxide is embedded, whereby a mixed oxide of silicon dioxide and phosphorus oxide formed on the wafer surface.
- This mixed oxide is called phosphosilicate glass (PSG).
- PSG phosphosilicate glass
- the mixed oxide serves the silicon wafer as a diffusion source, wherein in the course of the diffusion, the phosphorus oxide diffuses in the direction of the interface between PSG glass and silicon wafer and is reduced there by reaction with the silicon on the wafer surface (silicothermally) to phosphorus.
- the resulting phosphor has a solubility which is orders of magnitude greater in silicon than in the glass matrix from which it is formed, and thus dissolves preferentially in silicon due to the very high segregation coefficient.
- the phosphorus in silicon diffuses along the concentration gradient into the volume of silicon. In this diffusion process, concentration gradients of the order of 105 between typical
- a PSG layer is formed, which typically has a layer thickness of 40 to 60 nm. in the
- the drive-in phase follows. This can be decoupled from the assignment phase, but is conveniently conveniently in time directly to the Occupancy coupled and therefore usually takes place at the same temperature.
- the composition of the gas mixture is adjusted so that the further supply of phosphoryl chloride is suppressed.
- the surface of the silicon is further oxidized by the oxygen contained in the gas mixture, whereby a phosphorus depleted silicon dioxide layer is also generated between the actual doping source, the phosphorus oxide highly enriched PSG glass and the silicon wafer
- the tube furnace is automatically cooled and the wafers can be removed from the process tube at temperatures between 600 ° C to 700 ° C.
- Composition of the gas atmosphere used for doping the formation of a so-called boron skin can be detected on the wafers.
- This boron skin is dependent on various influencing factors: decisive for the doping atmosphere, the temperature, the doping time, the
- Pretreatment were subjected (for example, their structuring with diffusion-inhibiting and / or -unterbindenden layers and
- Doping sources for example, dilute solutions of phosphoric or boric acid, as well as sol-gel-based systems or solutions of polymeric Borazilitatien can be used.
- Solvents from the aforementioned doping media is usually followed by a treatment at high temperature, while those unwanted and interfering, but the formulation-related, additives are either "burned" and / or pyrolyzed.The removal of solvents and the burn-out may, but need not, occur simultaneously.
