Description
本发明涉及TOPCon电池的制备方法。The present invention relates to a preparation method of a TOPCon battery.
TOPCon(Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact)技术是在电池背面制备一层超薄的隧穿氧化层和一层高掺杂的非晶硅薄层,可以实现载流子的选择性通过,阻挡少子空穴复合。同时氧化层的化学钝化和高掺杂多晶硅的场致钝化效果可进一步提高电池开路电压和短路电流,电池转换效率有较大的提升空间。TOPCon (Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact) technology is to prepare an ultra-thin tunnel oxide layer and a highly doped amorphous silicon thin layer on the back of the battery, which can realize the selective passage of carriers and block the recombination of minority carriers and holes. . At the same time, the chemical passivation of the oxide layer and the field-induced passivation effect of the highly doped polysilicon can further improve the open-circuit voltage and short-circuit current of the battery, and the conversion efficiency of the battery has a large room for improvement.
现有TOPCon结构电池的背面隧穿层及非晶硅主要通过化学气相沉积法制备,制作过程中会产生严重绕镀。现有技术主要是通过清洗或采用特殊材料(如SiC、SiNx等)做掩膜层来解决绕镀问题,但由于绕镀的poly-Si层分布不均匀,中间薄两边厚,清洗过程中易出现边缘清洗不干净或中间p+损伤的问题,导致电池效率、良率偏低,而采用的特殊材料掩膜层,多在管式炉中采用化学气相沉积CVD法制备或原子层沉积ALD方法制备。如目前使用较多的CVD制备的SiNx膜层作为掩膜,原料采用特种气体SiH
4,在管式炉中反应时间长,制备的SiNx膜层在HF槽中需10min以上的反应时间才能去除。若采用CVD法制备SiOx掩膜,需要10min以上的高温时间的才能达到阻挡poly-Si的作用。而采用ALD法制备掩膜层,设备投入较大,且ALD法制备的膜层在HF槽中需20min以上的反应时间才能完全去除。
The backside tunneling layer and amorphous silicon of the existing TOPCon structure cells are mainly prepared by chemical vapor deposition method, and serious wrapping occurs during the production process. The existing technology mainly solves the problem of wrapping plating by cleaning or using special materials (such as SiC, SiNx, etc.) as a mask layer. There are problems of unclean edge cleaning or intermediate p+ damage, resulting in low cell efficiency and yield, and the special material mask layer used is mostly prepared by chemical vapor deposition CVD method or atomic layer deposition ALD method in a tube furnace. . For example, many SiNx films prepared by CVD are currently used as masks, and the raw material is special gas SiH 4 . The reaction time in the tube furnace is long, and the prepared SiNx film needs more than 10min in the HF tank. The reaction time can be removed. If the CVD method is used to prepare the SiOx mask, a high temperature time of more than 10 minutes is required to achieve the effect of blocking poly-Si. However, using the ALD method to prepare the mask layer requires a large investment in equipment, and the film layer prepared by the ALD method needs more than 20 minutes of reaction time in the HF tank to be completely removed.
