Problems solved by technology

[0004] To reduce the surface doping concentration, the most commonly used method is to reduce the flux of the phosphorus source, but this method will make the phosphorus source not fully mixed in the diffusion gas, which will cause uneven internal resistance of the silicon wafer after diffusion; at the same time, due to the phosphorus The source content is small, so to a large extent, the concentration of the phosphorus source at the inlet and outlet of the diffusion furnace has a large difference in phosphorus source concentration. This concentration difference will cause a large difference in the square resistance between the diffusion silicon wafers, that is The uniformity of square resistance becomes worse
In addition, due to the low concentration of phosphorus source, it is necessary to increase the diffusion process time or increase the diffusion temperature under the premise of ensuring sufficient doping amount; and in the case of low phosphorus source, high temperature diffusion will further affect the square resistance. Uniformity
[0005] However, the uniformity of the silicon wafer PN junction produced by the existing technology is poor, resulting in poor performance stability of the product

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solar cell preparation, in particular to a method for diffusing a solar cell silicon wafer. Background technique [0002] The production process of solar cells is relatively complicated. Simply put, the current production process of solar cells mainly includes: texturing, diffusion, etching, coating, printing and sintering. The PN junction is equivalent to the heart of a solar cell, and it is also one of the keys to the quality of the battery. Therefore, diffusion is an important part of making a solar cell. [0003] Diffusion to make a PN junction is a key step in the production of solar cells, and the quality of the PN junction directly determines the conversion efficiency of the solar cell. In the existing diffusion method, after feeding nitrogen and oxygen containing phosphorus oxychloride into the diffusion furnace for deposition, the temperature in the diffusion furnace is raised to a certain tempe...
