[0028]In order to control the preparation cost of black silicon and improve the conversion efficiency of black silicon cells, an embodiment of the present invention provides a low-cost silver-copper bimetallic MACE method for preparing a polycrystalline black silicon structure, including:

[0029] Clean the surface of the silicon wafer;

[0030] Using Cu(NO 3 ) 2 and AgNO 3 The MACE etching solution of bimetallic atoms catalyzes the corrosion of silicon wafers to prepare nanoporous structures;

[0031] The prepared black silicon is cleaned with a nano-reconstruction solution to form an inverted pyramid anti-reflection structure on the surface of the silicon wafer.

[0032] The principle of the present invention: because the electronegativity of silicon is 1.90, when metal elements such as Ag (1.93), Cu (1.91) etc. with higher electronegativity than silicon are in contact with silicon and are in HF and H 2 o 2 When in the mixed solution of silicon, a galvanic cell will be ...

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for preparing a black silicon structure with low cost, and belongs to the technical field of photoelectricity. The method comprises the following steps of (1) precleaning a solution; (2) putting the cleaned silicon chip into a mixing solution of H2O2 (hydrogen peroxide), HF (hydrogen fluoride), AgNO3 (silver nitrate), Cu(NO3)2 (copper dinitrate) and ultrapure water, and etching, so as to prepare a black silicon nanometer antireflection structure; (3) optimizing the black silicon structure by a nanometer reconstruction solution, so as to form a uniform inverted pyramid-shaped structure. The method has the advantages that the polycrystalline silicon is performed with chemical etching by an Ag-Cu bimetallic assisting type; compared with the existing Ag-assisted chemical etching type, the consumption amount of AgNO3 is decreased by more than several dozens of times; the technology is simple, the preparation cost of black silicon is reduced, and the batch preparation of large-area black silicon is reduced; the black silicon structure is optimized by the nanometer reconstruction solution, and the huge application potential is realized in the preparation of black silicon solar batteries with high conversion efficiency.
