Problems solved by technology

However, if the proportion of the source-carrying gas is too small, the mixing of the diffusion atmosphere will be insufficient and uneven, resulting in poor uniformity of sheet resistance and poor process controllability
[0004] In addition, for the tubular diffusion furnaces currently widely used in production, the main factors affecting the inhomogeneity between the plates are: unbalanced temperature distribution in the axial direction, mismatching of gas in and out, and serious heat dissipation at the furnace mouth; affecting the inhom

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of solar cell diffusion and junction fabrication technology, in particular to a phosphorous diffusion method for solar cell crystalline silicon wafers. Background technique [0002] A solar cell is a device that directly converts light energy into electrical energy. Because it is clean, non-polluting, inexhaustible and inexhaustible, it has gradually become an important power generation method. The principle is to use the photovoltaic effect of the PN junction to convert light energy into electrical energy. At present, silicon solar cells are widely used, and its manufacturing process has also been standardized. The main steps are: chemical cleaning and surface structuring (texturing)—diffusion junction—etching cleaning—deposition of anti-reflection film—printing electrodes—sintering. Among them, the step of diffusion junction (usually phosphorus diffusion junction) is a key step, and the junction process has a cruci...
