Problems solved by technology

[0006] The purpose of the present invention is to solve the problem that the structure size and arrangement of the suede surface obtained by the alkaline texturizing process in the prior art are random, and the secondary reflection cannot be well formed in an all-round way, and the diffusion cannot be uniformly diffused, and it is difficult to form a good contact with the conductive paste. In order to solve the problem of contact, a simple process step is provided, which is suitable for industrial production and has low cost. The basic texturing process of monocrystalline silicon wafers is provided. The textured structure obtained by the present invention is an inverted pyramid structure with regular size and arrangement, which can be easily Good overall formation of secondary reflection, while ensuring uniform diffusion, is conducive to the coating of conductive paste, making the thickness of conductive paste easier to control, good contact with conductive paste, conducive to sintering of metals, and reducing contact resistance

Abstract

The invention discloses an alkaline type texturing process of monocrystalline silicon wafer, which is used for solving the problems that secondary reflection cannot be completely formed very well and good contact with conductive slurry is difficult to form due to uneven diffusion as size and arrangement of a textured surface obtained by the alkaline type texturing process in the prior art are random. The alkaline type texturing process mainly comprises the following steps: (a) removing an affected layer; (b) preparing a mask; (c) windowing the mask; (d) texturing on a surface; and (e) removing the mask. The alkaline type texturing process disclosed by the invention is simple in step, suitable for industrial production and low in cost; the obtained monocrystalline silicon wafer textured structure is an inverted pyramid structure with regular size and arrangement, so that secondary reflection can be completely formed very well; and meanwhile, diffusion is guaranteed to be uniform and coating of conductive slurry is facilitated, so that thickness of the conductive slurry is controlled easier, contact with the conductive slurry is good, metal sintering is facilitated, and contact resistance is reduced.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of solar cells, in particular to an alkaline texturing process for single crystal silicon wafers. [0002] Background technique [0003] In the production of conventional solar monocrystalline silicon cells, the traditional alkaline texturing process is generally adopted, that is, through the reaction of the silicon wafer and the alkaline texturizing solution to form "pyramid"-shaped undulations on the surface of the silicon wafer, through the texture of these pyramid structures Surface to form secondary reflection, improve light absorption, reduce the reflectivity of the silicon wafer surface, thereby improving the conversion efficiency of the cell. [0004] For example, the Chinese patent with application publication number CN102703903A and application publication date of 2012.10.03 discloses an alkali texturing process, the main steps of which are as follows: first, silicon wafers are etched in an alkal...
