Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor wafer that is etched with an acid for texture formation, and the semiconductor wafer.
- Semiconductor wafers for solar cells are shipped through a slicing process for cutting a semiconductor wafer from a polycrystalline silicon ingot, a peeling process for peeling the semiconductor wafer from the support plate, and a final cleaning process for removing dirt and dust from the semiconductor wafer. Etched by battery manufacturer.
- the free abrasive grain method is a method of cutting a semiconductor wafer by rubbing a slurry, which is a mixture of liquid and abrasive grains, onto a polycrystalline silicon ingot using a wire saw.
- the semiconductor wafer is cut out while the abrasive grains contained in the slurry break the polycrystalline silicon ingot.
- the fixed abrasive method is a method of cutting a semiconductor wafer by pressing a wire saw formed by dispersing and fixing abrasive grains on a core wire against a polycrystalline silicon ingot.
- the slicing process by the fixed abrasive method is to cut a semiconductor wafer while chopping a polycrystalline silicon ingot. Therefore, in the fixed abrasive method, there are few layers that become chips compared to the free abrasive method, and many semiconductor wafers can be cut out from one polycrystalline silicon ingot, and cracks and the like are generated. There is an advantage that the semiconductor wafer can be cut out thinly.
- Etching is a process of forming uneven texture on the surface of the semiconductor wafer. If the surface of the semiconductor wafer is flat, part of the incident light is reflected and cannot be converted into current. For this reason, solar cell manufacturers have provided irregularities called textures on the surface, giving them the opportunity to re-enter part of the reflected light on the semiconductor wafer multiple times, reducing the surface reflectance, and thus the performance of the solar cell. Has improved.
- etching treatment examples thereof include an alkali etching treatment and an acid etching treatment.
- alkali is to add isopropyl alcohol into an alkaline solution of KOH or NAOH and immerse one or both sides of a semiconductor wafer in the alkaline solution for several minutes.
- a typical example of the etching process using an acid is one in which one or both sides of a semiconductor wafer are immersed in an acid solution containing hydrofluoric acid or nitric acid as a main component for about 1 to 2 minutes.
- the fixed abrasive method is more advantageous than the free abrasive method in terms of production cost, and the practical use of the fixed abrasive method is expected.
- an acid etching process is performed, a uniform texture cannot be formed on a semiconductor wafer sliced by a fixed abrasive method.
- the present invention has been proposed in order to solve the above-described problems of the prior art, and while the semiconductor wafer is cut out by a fixed abrasive method, the entire surface of the semiconductor wafer is textured even in an etching process using an acid. It is an object of the present invention to provide a manufacturing method capable of forming a semiconductor wafer and a semiconductor wafer by the manufacturing method.
- the present inventors have thought that the texture formed by the etching treatment with acid is greatly influenced by the damaged layer existing on the semiconductor wafer before the etching treatment.
- Etching with acid is considered to be a method for removing only the damaged layer, and the shape of the damaged layer formed in as-slice (no processing after slicing) is similar to that of the texture. Because it is.
- the damaged layer is a concavo-convex layer formed on the surface of the semiconductor wafer and is generated in the slicing process.
- the entire surface of the semiconductor wafer is formed with unevenness in advance before the etching process.

- the semiconductor A wet blast type damage layer forming step for forming a damaged layer on the semiconductor wafer by spraying a slurry of liquid and abrasive grains onto at least one surface of the wafer.
- washing with water A drying step of drying the semiconductor wafer through cleaning.
- a finish cleaning process using a solvent for the semiconductor wafer may be omitted between the damaged layer forming process and the drying process. This is because the cleaning effect by the wet blasting process appears by combining the slicing process by the fixed abrasive method and the damaged layer forming process by the wet blasting process.
- the texture unevenness density and the damage layer depth can be controlled by the grain size of the abrasive grains used in the wet blasting process. It was. That is, in this damage layer forming step, the particle size of the abrasive grains contained in the slurry can be changed according to the target uneven density of the texture. In the damage layer forming step, the grain size of the abrasive grains contained in the slurry can be changed according to the depth of the damage layer to be formed.
- a second aspect according to the present invention is a semiconductor wafer before being etched with an acid to form irregularities on the surface, which is a fixed abrasive that cuts a crystalline ingot with a core wire having abrasive grains fixed on the surface. It is characterized in that a damage layer is formed on the surface by being cut out by a grain method, and after being cut out, a slurry of liquid and abrasive grains is sprayed on at least one surface by a wet blast method.
- a damaged layer can be formed on the entire surface even when a semiconductor wafer is cut out by a fixed abrasive method, and a texture can be formed even if an etching process with an acid is performed. Therefore, many semiconductor wafers can be cut out from one crystalline ingot as compared with the free abrasive grain method, and the manufacturing cost of the semiconductor wafer for solar cells can be reduced.

- Example 2 After a polycrystalline silicon wafer having a wafer thickness of 180 ⁇ m is cut out from the polycrystalline silicon ingot by a fixed abrasive method and subjected to a peeling process, the polycrystalline silicon wafer is wet-blasted only on one side under conditions 1 and 2 in FIG. Processing was carried out. Then, after washing with water and drying, the surface state of the polycrystalline silicon wafer was visually observed. That is, in order to confirm the cleaning effect by the wet blasting process, the finishing cleaning process was omitted.
- preliminary cleaning, rinsing, alkaline solution cleaning, and rinsing were performed in this order, followed by drying with warm air.
- preliminary cleaning and alkaline solution cleaning a polycrystalline silicon wafer was immersed in an alkaline solution and ultrasonic waves were emitted.
- the alkaline solution used is 0.5-5% by weight NaOH.
- the used ultrasonic waves are 10 to 100 kHz and 100 to 500 W.
- rinsing a polycrystalline silicon wafer was immersed in pure water purified using an RO membrane and irradiated with ultrasonic waves.
- the rinse time is 2-5 minutes.
- drying with warm air the polycrystalline silicon wafer was exposed to 100 ° hot air.
- the drying time with warm air is 2 to 5 minutes.
- Example 2 Comparative Example 2
- Comparative Example 3 Comparative Example 3
- FIG. 9 Even when Example 2 was compared with Comparative Example 2, no difference was found in the surface cleanability.
- a polycrystalline silicon wafer is cut out by the fixed abrasive method, dust adheres to the manufacturing method in which the finishing cleaning process is omitted only for the wet blasting process and the manufacturing method in which the finishing cleaning process is added after the wet blasting process. There was no difference in the degree.
- silicon cutting waste generated in the slicing process, organic coolant residue used in the slicing process, and residue of the stripping liquid used in the detaching process It dried and adhered to the surface of the polycrystalline silicon wafer. That is, the cleaning effect cannot be expected in the drive blast process compared to the wet blast process.
- the method for manufacturing a semiconductor wafer according to the present embodiment is a method for manufacturing a semiconductor wafer before etching with acid for texture formation, and includes the following steps.
- the unevenness density of the texture can be freely designed by changing the particle size of the abrasive grains contained in the slurry, It is possible to freely design the depth of the damaged layer by changing the grain size of the abrasive grains contained in the slurry.
