Definitions
- the present invention relates to the preambles of the independent claims.
- the present invention is concerned with the manufacture of photovoltaic solar cells.
- a number of different techniques are known in the prior art by means of which the hydrogen passivation is to be achieved. It has been proposed to implant high-energy hydrogen ions in the surface area of a silicon wafer and then to drive them thermally into the interior of the volume. It has also been proposed to expose the silicon wafers to a hydrogen atmosphere at temperatures which are e.g. 700 ° C is chosen so high that the molecular hydrogen dissociates and can then diffuse into the wafer. It has also been proposed to expose the samples to a hydrogen plasma, which is generated capacitively or mechanically directly and directly on the silicon wafers. It has also been proposed to carry out the passivation in conjunction with an anti-reflective coating on the solar cell.
- a hydrogen-containing silicon nitride layer can be deposited by PE-CVD; The hydrogen atoms contained in the superficial, hydrogen-containing silicon nitride layer then enter the solar cell volume in a subsequent processing step.
- the object of the present invention is to provide something new for commercial use, and in particular, but not exclusively, to improve the possibilities of inexpensive production of solar cells with high efficiency and to extend the methods obtained there to other areas of semiconductor production.
- the invention thus proposes a method for the treatment of semiconductors, in which material is deposited on a semiconductor and passivation is carried out with hydrogen plasma, the material being deposited by means of low-pressure CVD and the hydrogen passivation being carried out by supplying a hydrogen plasma induced remotely from the partially processed semiconductor.
- Preferred semiconductors are silicon semiconductors or substantial portions of semiconductors containing silicon.
- the method according to the invention is particularly preferred in the production of solar cells from inexpensive silicate substrates.
- good improvements of the resulting solar cells are achieved, but also e.g. in the case of poorer qualltat and thus higher defect numbers as well as in thin-film solar cells, significant improvements are possible with emcrystalline silicon substrates.
- the partially processed solar cells are at least temporarily irritated during the hydrogen passivation; this can be done by heat radiation from an IR light source and / or resistance heating.
- Such active heating during the hydrogen passivation instead of a temperature which has remained unchanged since a previous step is preferred in order to enable the setting of the optimal process parameters.
- the actual hydrogen passivation according to the invention can be shortened by means of remotely induced hydrogen plasma, which occurs at typically 30 mm at 350 ° C., by passivating both during the deposition and during the heating and / or cooling phase.
- the response time for the passive tion step can be shortened if, after the LP-CVD (low-pressure CVD), a screen printing through-firing process and / or another contact-firing process takes place, since here too the hydrogen can diffuse deeper into the cell. Passivation is thus at least partially carried out during the temperature change required to carry out another or several other process steps, and moreover at least part of the hydrogen passivation is carried out simultaneously during at least one other treatment step.
- the hydrogen plasma is preferably generated by means of microwave radiation, because this enables particularly good control and / or regulation of the radiation intensity.
- the plasma can be generated in a manner known per se in the presence of a non-reactive, in particular noble gas, in particular helium. This in particular reduces self-reactions in the plasma from the location of the plasma induction to the location of the partially processed solar cells, so that the efficiency of the plasma treatment increases.
- the hydrogen plasma comes into contact with the partially processed solar cells at least during part of the passivation phase in the presence of other gases brought.
- the plasma chemically activates the gases used for the deposition, such as NH3, S1H4, SiH2Cl2, which increases the proportion of atomic hydrogen at the sample location and at the same time accelerates the deposition process for SiN, for example.
- the solar cells can be continuous in small units, e.g. horizontally lying or vertically arranged in a hoarding order and processed in the process, but it is preferred if a batch-like process is carried out on a large number of simultaneously processed wafers, since the process conditions are particularly easy to control.
- the invention further relates to a device for producing solar cells from a multicrystalline silicon substrate with a reaction space for processing the solar cells, a source for passivating hydrogen, in which the source for passivating hydrogen comprises a microwave generator for the microwave induction of plasma, which removes is arranged from the reaction space, and the reaction space is designed for the execution of a low-pressure CVD.
- the system for the simultaneous treatment of a large number of wafers is elongated and the hydrogen injection takes place transversely to the longitudinal axis, a plurality of hydrogen plasma injection openings being provided transversely to the longitudinal axis, to which a plurality of hydrogen plasma-reducing microwave arrangements are preferably provided assigned.
- the implementation of the method according to the invention can be at least substantially automated in such a system by means of a suitable process control. The invention is described below only by way of example with reference to the drawing. In this shows:
- FIG. 1 shows a first exemplary embodiment of a solar cell production system according to the invention in

- Page section; 3a shows a third exemplary embodiment of a solar cell production plant according to the invention in
- FIG. 3b shows the third exemplary embodiment in cross section
- 4a shows a fourth exemplary embodiment of a solar cell manufacturing plant according to the invention in FIG
- a system 1, generally designated 1, for the batchwise production of solar cells comprises an elongated process tube 2 made of quartz glass. At one end of the elongated process tube 2 there is a closable opening 3 which is large enough to insert a silicon wafer carrier 4a with a plurality of standing wafers 4b made of multicrystalline silicon. At the opposite end of the process tube 2, a suction opening 5 is provided, which leads to a vacuum pump (not shown).
- a resistance heater 6 is arranged along the circumference of the process tube 2, consisting of a heating wire winding ⁇ a and an insulation 6b against the outside. The resistance heater 6 is designed so that a temperature inside the process tube temperature of at least 770 ° C can be achieved under all process conditions. With thermocouples 7, the temperature inside the process tube 2 can be checked.
- a gas inlet 8 is provided for process gases which are intended to effect low-pressure material deposition (LP-CVD) on the wafers made of multicrystalline silicon.
- the gas inlet 8 is connected to suitable sources for process gases such as S1CI2H2 and NH3.
- a further inlet opening 9 is provided, which leads to a microwave cavity 10 and through which a hydrogen / helium mixture n is fed to the process tube 2 from a suitable source. Microwave energy of a frequency and intensity which is sufficient to ignite a plasma is fed into the microwave cavity 10.
- the first identical hydrogen plasma unit is provided near the suction opening 5. This injection unit also injects the hydrogen plasma generally perpendicular to the longitudinal axis of the process tube 2.
- a controller (not shown) is provided in order to run a predetermined temperature characteristic with the resistance heater, to control the suction and the process gas supply in accordance with a predetermined, desired process course and to influence the passivation gas supply and excitation.
- Plant 1 of the present invention can be used to manufacture solar cells, for example, as follows: The system is first ventilated and loaded with wafers made of multicrystalline silicon prepared in a conventional manner. It is then pumped off for 10 mm to a pressure below 30 mTorr at 500 ° C. in order to remove pest gases. Subsequently, a gas mixture of 90% He and 10% H2 is introduced from the loading side through the microwave resonator 10 until a pressure of 500 mTorr is reached. Then 200 W of microwave energy at 2.4 GHz m are fed into the cavity. The passivation takes place for 40 mm at 500 ° C; then the resistance heater 6 heats up to 750 ° C. at 10 ° C./min while plasma continues to be generated.
- the temperature is increased at a reduced rate of rise from 2 ° C / mm to 770 ° C.
- the plasma is switched off and the tube is briefly evacuated.
- 1 mm NH3 ⁇ gas up to a pressure of 230 mTorr is introduced from the loading side.
- a mixture of 37.5 sccm dichlorosilane and 150 Sccm NH3 is fed in on the loading side for 22 to 26 mm and a pressure of 250 mTorr is fed in.
- NH3 ⁇ gas is spooled on the loading side for 1 mm and a pressure of
- the hydrogen passivation is continued during a cooling phase at 7 ° C / mm from 770 ° C to 500 ° C.
- the plasma is switched off and, after a brief evacuation, the tube is "vented to discharge".
- Fig. 1 essentially identical, but undercut m in the number of hydrogen injection units and their arrival Order.
- 2 shows an arrangement in which the hydrogen plasma is first conducted in a pipe 9b inside the process pipe, which increases the uniformity of the plasma deposition. Due to the multiple microwave cavities 10a, 10b, 10c and the respective feed lines 9a, 9b, 9c, particularly high plasma performances can be achieved. The throughput can also be increased in the arrangement of FIG. 3 with a number of microwave cavities 10. It is clear that the entire system can also be constructed in a modular manner in order to enable a correspondingly high throughput in production lines for very high numbers of pieces.
- the F g. 4 show an exemplary embodiment of a system with which a quasi-continuous process of batchwise treatment of wafers of the present invention can be carried out.
- the actual reaction space which in turn can be heated via a heater 6, is tubular and is connected to a suitable vacuum source.
- the semiconductor wafers to be processed are fed in via a vacuum lock 3a, so that when a boat is fed with a number of wafers to be processed, there is no impairment of the pressure conditions and the gases present in the reaction space.
- a vacuum removal lock 3b is also provided on the opposite exit side, which is sufficient to hold e boat together with the wafers contained therein. With a suitable design of the vacuum lock and the pump to be connected to it, a quasi-continuous supply of boats can take place, for example, every minute.
- the boats loaded with wafers to be processed are activated by a so-called "Walkmg beam” through the reaction required by space.
- a so-called "Walkmg beam” through the reaction required by space.
- the solar cells obtained in this way are compared with solar cells obtained in the same system without hydrogen passivation.
- only a rinse with N2 was carried out in the comparison process during the temperature change phases.
- the deposition phases in particular are chosen to be as long as those in the case of hydrogen passivation and the temperatures used were identical.
- Photocurrent disconnection curves were determined on the inventive and comparative samples. It was found that the process according to the invention, which combines a low-pressure deposition process (LP-CVD) with passivation by hydrogen plasma generated at a distance from the location of the solar cell processing, leads to substantial increases in the lifetime of the charge carrier.
- the average lifespan of the method according to the invention could be increased from 1.74 ⁇ s to 6.94 ⁇ s. At the same time, the efficiency was increased by an average of 4% (relative).
- the system structure and the wafer holder are simple and that the passivation before and after the cell metallization is possible, which enables particularly high flexibility.
- the process parameters can easily be adapted for efficient bulk passivation, in order to adapt, for example, to foil silicon, crystalline thin layers and / or ingot-molded silicon. It is particularly advantageous that foil silicon can be used regardless of any ripple that may be present, e.g. problems with the PE-CVD process due to the flat support on an electrode.
- a surface passivating layer can be applied on both sides with the LP-CVD process.
- the maintenance intervals in the LP-CVD process are long and, due to the overall process, the requirements for the vacuum system are relatively low, since the lowest required pressures around 250 mTorr.
- the overall process is also not very sensitive to temperature homogeneity and gas distribution.
- thermocouples in the interior of the process tube 2 offers advantages, in particular with regard to the response times, but it may also be possible to arrange them outside the process tube 2, for example on its outer wall.
