Embodiment 2

[0036] Same as embodiment 1, its difference is that phosphorus gettering heat treatment temperature and time are different, and step (2) is:

[0037] (2) Pass the silicon wafer obtained in step (1) into POCl at a temperature of 1200°C in a four-tube microcomputer diffusion furnace 3 For 2h phosphorus gettering treatment, the gas used is the flow rate: large N 2 1.5L / min; Small N 2 0.05L / min;O 2 0.3L / min, the silicon wafer is naturally cooled in the air.

[0038] The resistivity of the silicon wafer obtained in step (3) is tested; PECVD double-sided deposition of silicon nitride 80nm measures the minority carrier lifetime of the silicon wafer. The test method is the same as in Example 1, and the results show that the average minority carrier lifetime is increased from 1.2 μs to 12.0 μs, and the minority carrier lifetime distribution diagram is as follows figure 2 As shown, the resistivity increased from 0.2Ω·cm to 1.0Ω·cm.

Abstract

The invention provides a method for gettering phosphorus in an N-type polysilicon slice by a metallurgical method, and relates to polysilicon. The method is good in gettering effect, low in cost and simple in operation, and is suitable for industrial production. The method for gettering phosphorus in the N-type polysilicon slice by the metallurgical method comprises the following steps of: washing and drying the N-type polysilicon slice; feeding a gas into the obtained polysilicon slice at the temperature of 700 to 1,200 DEG C, performing phosphorous diffusion gettering thermal treatment, and cooling the polysilicon slice; immersing the obtained polysilicon slice into hydrogen fluoride (HF) solution; and corroding a gettering layer on the polysilicon slice by using acid corrosive liquid, washing and drying, and baking so as to obtain the phosphorous-gettered polysilicon slice.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a polysilicon, in particular to a method for absorbing phosphorous on an N-type polysilicon sheet by a metallurgical method. Background technique [0002] High efficiency and low cost are the main trends in the development of solar cells. Polycrystalline silicon solar cells are low in price and high in conversion efficiency, and have become a research hotspot in the international photovoltaic field. At present, the modified Siemens method is generally used in the production of solar-grade polysilicon, but the cost is high, and the technology is monopolized by foreign countries, resulting in a shortage of this material and high prices. At present, more and more researchers and manufacturers are focusing on polysilicon purified by metallurgical methods. Metallurgical silicon purification technology (Wu Hongjun, Chen Xiuhua, Ma Wenhui, etc. Research status of polysilicon for solar cells and its gettering [J]. Materials Herald, 2...
