Embodiment 1

[0045] refer to figure 1and figure 2 , the doping method of the PN structure comprises the following steps:

[0046] Step S 1 , implanting dopant ions into the surface of a substrate 1 by means of ion implantation to obtain a PN structure. In this embodiment, boron ions are accelerated to 500 eV and implanted into the surface of the substrate 1 to form a P-type doped layer 2 . However, due to multiple uses, various components in the ion implanter for ion implantation are contaminated with various doping impurities, and these doping impurities are sputtered to the back of the substrate 1, and then figure 2 The dopant impurity accidentally sputtered onto the backside of the substrate 1 during the boron ion implantation process is denoted by reference numeral 3 . figure 2 It is just an example, and it does not mean that dopant impurities will be sputtered onto the substrate 1 every ion implantation, nor is the position where the dopant impurities will be sputtered limited....

Embodiment 2

[0050] The principle of embodiment 2 is the same as embodiment 1, and its main steps are also the same, the difference is:

[0051] In this embodiment, the volume ratio of the ammonium hydroxide solution, the hydrogen peroxide and deionized water in the first washing liquid is 1:2:10, and the concentration of the ammonium hydroxide solution is 32%, and the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide is also is 32%, and the resistivity of deionized water is 16MΩ, where the percentage symbol represents the mass percentage. The PN structure was placed in the first washing liquid and washed at a temperature of 80° C. for 1 minute to remove the dopant impurity 3 . After cleaning by the first cleaning solution, the 3nm thick silicon layer on the back side of the substrate (silicon wafer) is removed without affecting the semiconductor performance of the PN structure.

[0052] All the other unmentioned parts are the same as in Example 1.

Embodiment 3

[0054] The principle of embodiment 3 is the same as that of embodiment 1, and its main steps are also the same, the difference being:

[0055] In this embodiment, the volume ratio of the ammonium hydroxide solution, the hydrogen peroxide and deionized water in the first washing liquid is 1:1:3, and the concentration of the ammonium hydroxide solution is 30%, and the concentration of the hydrogen peroxide is 31%, and the resistivity of deionized water is 17MΩ, where the percent symbol represents the mass percent. The PN structure was placed in the first washing liquid and washed at a temperature of 60° C. for 8 minutes to remove the dopant impurity 3 . After cleaning by the first cleaning solution, the silicon layer with a thickness of 2.5 nm on the back side of the substrate (silicon wafer) is removed, but the performance of the PN structure semiconductor is not affected.

[0056] All the other unmentioned parts are the same as in Example 1.

Abstract

The invention discloses a doping method of a PN structure. The method comprises step S1: implanting dopant ions into the surface and / or the back of a substrate through an ion implantation method to obtain the PN structure; step S2: cleaning the PN structure by utilizing a first washing lotion which is for removing doped impurities formed due to the sputtering of the dopant ions on the surface, the back or the side of the substrate; step S3: carrying out an annealing treatment on the cleaned PN structure. A cleaning process, which is very simple and low in cost, is added after the ion implantation process and before the annealing activation process, so that doped impurities which are sputtered onto each surface of the substrate by accident are removed, performance of the PN structure is guaranteed and introduction of edge junction leakage is prevented.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a doping method of a PN structure, in particular to a doping method for removing doping impurities accidentally entering the base of the PN structure. Background technique [0002] The conversion efficiency requirement of photovoltaic solar power generation is an eternal topic in the industry. The doping method of ion implantation provides a better method for higher efficiency crystalline silicon solar cells. It is expected that in the next 3-5 years, ion implantation technology will replace the traditional diffusion process and become the preferred method for the preparation of crystalline silicon solar cells. standard workmanship. [0003] One of the advantages of ion implantation to prepare crystalline silicon is that there is no need for edge removal and dephosphorylation of silicon glass. Because of recycling, it is inevitable that there will be some dopant substances that are not implanted into the silicon wafer in the ...
