Problems solved by technology

[0006] Briefly, the liquid source BBr 3 Boron diffusion doping can reduce the probability and degree of device contamination by metal impurities and improve device performance stability, but inhomogeneity becomes the main obstacle
The main reason is that the reactant boron oxide (B 2 o 3 ) becomes liquid at the diffusion temperature, and it is difficult to achieve uniform distribution in the diffusion tube

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for diffusion doping of boron (B). The method comprises the following steps of 1, carrying out corrosion washing of the surface of a substrate needing doping, and then drying the substrate, 2, heating a diffusion furnace and simultaneously, filling pure nitrogen into a diffusion quartz tube, putting the clean substrate treated by the step 1 into a diffusion quartz tube thermostatic zone when a temperature is in a range of 850 to 1050 DEG C, sealing a furnace mouth of the diffusion furnace, and filling oxygen, nitrogen carrying a B source and vaporous water into the diffusion quartz tube after a temperature of the diffusion furnace is stable, wherein a pure nitrogen flow is in a range of 12 to 20slm / min; an oxygen flow is in a range of 2000 to 5000sccm / min; a flow of the nitrogen carrying a B source is in a range of 800 to 3000sccm / min; and a vaporous water flow is in a range of 100 to 900sccm / min, and 3, taking out the treated substrate after diffusion is finished, and cooling.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a high-temperature liquid BBr in a crystalline silicon solar cell 3 Boron diffusion preparation method. Background technique [0002] Boron diffusion doping is the key to achieving high conversion efficiency in solar cells (Martin A. Green, Andrew W. Blkers, Jianhua Zhao, Adele M. Milne, Aihua Wang, Ximing Dai, "Characterization of 23-percent efficient silicon solar cells ".IEEE Transactions on Electron Devices.Vol.37,331-336; Jianhua Zhao, Aihua Wang, Martin A.Green, 24.5% efficiency PERT silicon solar cells on SHE MCZ substrates and cell performance on other SHE CZ and FZ substrates, Solar Energy Materials &Solar Cells,66(2001)27-36), its difficulty lies in boron oxide (B 2 o 3 ) has a boiling point of 1860°C (Yaw's thermophysical properties of chemicals and hydrolarbous), and is in a liquid state at a general diffusion temperature. During the diffusion process, the deposition on the surface of the silicon wafer is uneven,...
