Abstract

The invention belongs to the technical field of solar cells, and relates to a low-temperature semiconductor direct bonding method based on surface modification and activation. The method comprises the following steps: S1, carrying out global planarization polishing treatment on the surfaces of III-V group epitaxial layers grown on different substrates by adopting a chemical mechanical polishing process; S2, carrying out chemical cleaning on the surface of the epitaxial layers by adopting an acidic or alkaline solution with the concentration of 1%-5% under a megasonic condition; S3, enabling the epitaxial wafer to enter a bonding machine after being cleaned and spin-dried; carrying out chemical property activation treatment on the surface of the bonding layer by adopting formic acid / nitrogen mixed gas under vacuum and heating conditions; and S4, finally performing semiconductor direct bonding and annealing reinforcement. According to the method, bonding interface impurities and oxides are effectively removed, the interface crystallization quality is good, and the interface resistivity is remarkably reduced. Compared with a plasma activation technology, on the basis of obtaining a similar bonding effect, the equipment structure and the technological process are simple, the cost is remarkably reduced, and the method is suitable for industrial production.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of solar cells, and relates to a low-temperature semiconductor direct bonding method based on surface modification and activation. Background technique [0002] In the past 10 years, due to the technical bottleneck of lattice-mismatched epitaxial growth of 4-junction III-V solar cells, the increase in cell efficiency and yield has been lower than expected, and the manufacturing cost is high. At the same time, my country's aerospace technology has continuously made breakthroughs, and major aerospace projects such as space station construction, deep space exploration, and moon bases have put forward a clear demand for higher-efficiency multi-junction solar cells. The Spectrum Laboratory of the United States reported that a 5-junction III-V solar cell was developed using semiconductor direct bonding technology, and its photoelectric conversion efficiency reached 36% (AM0), which is the current world record for ...
