Problems solved by technology

However, the traditional ALD equipment itself has the disadvantages of slow growth rate, low material utilization rate and expensive equipment, which is not compatible with the large-scale production of solar cell industry. Only with the improvement of technology and the reduction of equipment cost, continuous deposition ALD equipment and Al 2 o 3 Thin film passivation process can enter solar cell production
The α-Si:H film prepared by PECVD also has the problem of low chemical material utilization and the H loss passivation performance of the α-Si:H film after sintering.

Abstract

The invention provides a passivation method for an N-type crystalline silicon cell boron emitter. The passivation steps are listed as follows: a phosphor doped N+ layer and a boron emitter P+ layer are respectively formed on the two surfaces of an N-type silicon substrate; then oxidation and passivation processing is performed on the N-type silicon substrate, and a silicon oxide film is respectively generated on the phosphor doped N+ layer and the boron emitter P+ layer; and finally a SiNx film is deposited on the silicon oxide film of the two surfaces of the N-type silicon substrate. A silicon dioxide and silicon nitride laminated film acts as the passivation film of the boron emitter, wherein silicon dioxide is prepared and generated through low-temperature dry oxidation, thickness is 2-10nm, and silicon nitride is prepared by a PECVD method. The passivation film system preparation technology is relatively simple, preparation process controllability is high, equipment cost is low and consumable cost is low so as to be compatible with current crystalline silicon cell manufacturing production line equipment and suitable for large-scale industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the technical field of solar cell production, in particular to a passivation method for a boron emitter of an N-type crystalline silicon cell. Background technique [0002] At present, crystalline silicon cells are the mainstream products in the solar cell market, and crystalline silicon solar cells can be divided into P-type crystalline silicon cells and N-type crystalline silicon cells in terms of material and substrate types. Compared with P-type monocrystalline silicon cells, N-type monocrystalline silicon cells have the characteristics of small light-induced attenuation, good resistance to metal impurity pollution, and long diffusion length of minority carriers, and have great potential in improving efficiency. [0003] For N-type crystalline silicon cells with a simple structure, the preparation process is usually texture->boron diffusion->phosphorus diffusion / implantation->passivation->anti-reflection film de...
