Problems solved by technology

[0005]The use of phosphorus oxychloride (POCl3) liquid source for diffusion junction has the following disadvantages: (1) the formation of phosphosilicate glass ( PSG), it is necessary to increase the follow-up cleaning process to remove it; (2) It is easy to cause a large amount of metaphosphoric acid, which not only blocks the pipeline, but also corrodes the quartz parts of the diffusion furnace, so regular cleaning and maintenance are required; (3) Routine diffusion, cleaning, reducing The reflective film deposition process requires multiple loading and unloading of wafers, and the silicon wafer fragmentation rate is high
Therefore, in conventional production, both diffusion junction and PECVD silicon nitride anti-reflection coating are indispensable, and the production process of both requires special equipment, and it is troublesome to load and unload the film, which is easy to cause debris

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for continuously preparing a crystalline silicon solar cell PN (Positive-Negative) junction and antireflection film. The method comprises the following steps of depositing a phosphor-doped (or boron-doped) silicon nitride antireflection film on a P-type (or N-type) silicon wafer which is cleaned and etched by using a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition technology, carrying out conventional annealing treatment at high temperature so that part phosphor (or boron) in the silicon nitride layer is diffused to the P-type (or N-type) silicon wafer, and forming a PN junction on the surface of the silicon wafer. The method is compatible with the industrialized crystalline silicon solar cell production process, does not need complex POC13 or BBr3 diffusion andthe subsequent step of removing phosphorus silicon or boron silicon glass, has simpler production process and is suitable for low-cost batch production.
