Problems solved by technology

However, silicon wafers are used as the base material to make solar cells. There are micro-defects and metal impurities in monocrystalline silicon. These impurities and defects introduce multiple deep energy levels in the silicon forbidden band and become the recombination center of minority carriers, which seriously affects the photoelectricity of solar cells. conversion efficiency

Abstract

The invention relates to a phosphorus gettering process of silicon chips in the manufacture of solar cells, which comprises the following steps: putting sueded silicon chips into a diffusion furnace for pre-deposition, removing a phosphorosilicate glass layer after diffusion, soaking the silicon chips through distributed processing in a hydrofluoric acid solution, and removing oxide layers from the surfaces of the silicon chips; then putting the silicon chips after washing into the diffusion furnace for secondary diffusion processing, taking the silicon chips out from the diffusion furnace after the processing of the secondary diffusion working procedure, cooling the silicon chips to room temperature, and measuring the square resistance of the silicon chips. The invention can effectively decrease heavily doped 'dead layers' and greatly prolong the average minority carrier lifetime of the silicon chips; after the processes including etching, PECVD, silk screen sintering and the like arefinished according to the normal process of a cell chip, the average transformation efficiency of the made cell chip is further improved, and the cell chip has better electrical performance parameters.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of photovoltaics, in particular to a phosphorus gettering process of a silicon chip in the manufacture of solar cells. Background technique [0002] With the development of industrialization, non-renewable energy sources such as electricity, coal, and oil are frequently running out. Energy issues have increasingly become a bottleneck restricting the development of the international society and economy. More and more countries have begun to implement the "Sunshine Plan" to develop solar energy resources and seek economic development. new impetus. Driven by the huge potential of the international photovoltaic market, the solar cell manufacturing industries of various countries are not only scrambling to invest huge sums of money to expand production, but also to establish their own research and development institutions to research and develop new battery projects to improve product quality and conversion effic...
