Problems solved by technology

For polysilicon, reducing the concentration of more phosphorus in the second step will directly affect the uniformity of the diffusion sheet resistance
Because there are more grain boundaries on the surface of polysilicon, the difference in the absorption of phosphorus sources inside the crystal lattice and at the grain boundaries leads to a greater reduction in the concentration of phosphorus carried. Compared with single crystal silicon, it will affect the uniformity of sheet resistance more seriously.

Abstract

The invention discloses a diffusion process for making solar cells, comprising the following steps: controlling the temperature inside a furnace at 840 DEG C; feeding oxygen at 200-500ml / min and small nitrogen at 700-1000ml / min under the temperature, and feeding big nitrogen at 10000-15000mL / min, wherein the duration is 8-12min; continuing feeding oxygen at 200-500ml / min and small nitrogen at 700-900ml / min, and feeding big nitrogen at 10000-15000mL / min, wherein processing lasts 11-16min; stopping feeding phosphorus source, reducing the temperature to 700-780 DEG C in 25-40min, continuously feeding oxygen at 2000-2500ml / min and feeding big nitrogen at 10000-15000ml / min in the whole cooling process, and then taking a silicon wafer out. The problem that ohmic contact difference is caused by too much reduction of the phosphorus concentration in the diffusion process and the problem that the uniformity is poor due to the difference between crystal boundary and crystal lattice positions on polycrystalline silicon in phosphorus source absorption in the prior art are solved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of manufacturing crystalline silicon solar cells, in particular to a diffusion process for solar cells. Background technique [0002] At present, the main manufacturing process of monocrystalline and polycrystalline silicon solar cells has been standardized. The main production steps are: cleaning and preparing the suede on the surface of silicon wafers, diffusion to form PN junctions, dry and wet etching to remove peripheral and back junctions, and PECVD to form anti-reflection nitriding Silicon film, screen printing to form electrodes, and sintering to form ohmic contact resistance. [0003] The PN junction formed by diffusion in the core process of solar cells has always been the heart of solar cells. There are also many researches on the process realization technology of this process. The basic diffusion steps used in production mainly include POCl 3 Phosphorus diffusion step and propulsion step. [0004] POCl ...
