Diffusion method for polycrystalline silicon solar photovoltaic cell silicon chip

Abstract

The invention relates to a diffusion method for a polycrystalline silicon solar photovoltaic cell silicon chip. The method comprises the following steps of: 1, putting the silicon chip into a furnace; 2, oxidizing; 3, diffusing a phosphorus source for the first time; 4, performing impurity distribution for the first time; 5, diffusing the phosphorus source for the second time; 6, performing impurity distribution for the second time; 7, gettering; and 8, taking the chip out of the furnace. The diffusion method for the polycrystalline silicon solar photovoltaic cell silicon chip has the advantages that: the phosphorus impurity doping concentration distribution is good, the diffusion rate has high controllability, the first pass yield of diffusion of the silicon chip is improved, the minority carrier lifetime of a polycrystalline silicon chip is prolonged, and the utilization rate of the phosphorus source in the diffusion process is high.

Problems solved by technology

This process method has a narrow adjustment window, and it is difficult to obtain an excellent phosphorus impurity doping concentration distribution. The obtained silicon wafer usually has a higher surface doping concentration, which also brings a higher loading The rate of carrier recombination reduces the photoelectric conversion efficiency of photovoltaic cells;

[0006]2. The controllability of the diffusion rate of phosphorus atoms in the silicon wafer by the traditional diffusion method is poor;

[0007]3. In the traditional diffusion method, when the furnace is out of the furnace, there is often a small amount of residual phosphorus pentoxide and other substances in the furnace tube of the tubular diffusion furnace. When the furnace door is opened, the pentoxide Phosphorus encounters cold water vapor to form metaphosphoric acid, which will drip and contaminate silicon wafers, reducing the first-time yield of silicon wafer diffusion
