This utility model relates to the field of
solar cell technology, specifically disclosing an
etching apparatus. The apparatus includes: an
etching unit comprising a substrate, wherein a liquid flow channel is provided on the substrate, the liquid flow channel having a supply port for providing
etching solution and a drain port for discharging etching solution; and a liquid flow generating device configured to generate a liquid flow of etching solution, the liquid flow direction being from at least one of the supply ports into the liquid flow channel and from at least one of the drain ports out of the liquid flow channel. Compared with the prior art, the contact interface between the etching solution and the
silicon wafer of this utility model is more uniform and stable, which can effectively improve etching uniformity, reduce over-
etching rate, improve etching effect, and thus improve the performance and quality of the processed
silicon wafer. At the same time, the overall structure of this utility model is simpler, the production precision requirements of the apparatus are lower, effectively reducing equipment costs and manufacturing difficulty, and facilitating industrial production.
