Problems solved by technology

[0011] As can be seen from the above steps, in the traditional cleaning process, step 1 utilizes HNO 3 +HF etches the back of the silicon wafer to achieve the back etching effect. Step 5 uses HF to react with PSG (phosphoric acid glass) on the silicon wafer to achieve the purpose of removing PSG (phosphoric acid glass), but this...

Embodiment Construction

[0034] The invention will be described in detail below in conjunction with the accompanying drawings and embodiments.

[0035] Such as figure 2 Shown, the cleaning process method of the crystalline silicon wafer that the present invention proposes comprises the following steps:

[0036] Step 1. First place the silicon wafer in HF with a temperature controlled at 8-16°C and a volume concentration of 5-7.5%.

[0037] 35-45% HNO 3 Soak in the mixed solution for 0.8-1.5 minutes, and carry out acid etching treatment, so as to achieve the purpose of etching the back and surrounding of the silicon wafer. In this process, according to the consumption of the reaction between the solution and the silicon wafer, a certain amount of HF and HNO is timely added 3 , to ensure the proper ratio of the solution.

[0038] image 3 is a schematic diagram of step 1. In step 1, wafer 1 is placed on HNO 3 On the driving roller shaft 3 provided in the HF mixed solution 2, the liquid level 4 o...

Abstract

The invention discloses a cleaning process method of crystal silicon slice. The cleaning process method of the crystal silicon slice includes the following steps: 1, conducting acid corrosion processing on silicon slice; 2, cleaning the silicon slice which is conducted acid corrosion through pure water; 3, placing the silicon slice in tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) solution with the temperature of 60-80 DEG C and volume concentration of 10 to 20 percent to conduct caustic corrosion processing for 1.5 to 3 minutes; 4, cleaning the silicon slice which is conducted caustic corrosion process by pure water; 5, then flowing and soaking the silicon slice in hydrogen fluoride (HF) mixed solution with volume concentration of 5 to 15 percent and conducting effective removal on oxide on the surface of the silicon slice; 6, cleaning the silicon slice which is cleaned by acid by pure water; and 7, conducting drying processing on the processed silicon slice. The cleaning process method of the crystal silicon slice not only can retain the original functions of back corrosion and PSG removal, but also adds a back polishing function, greatly improves light conversion efficiency of the silicon slice, and meanwhile reduces production cost.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of processing solar crystalline silicon wafers, in particular to a cleaning process applied to crystalline silicon wafers in the photovoltaic industry.
