Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to a silicon wafer carrier device. Background Technology

[0002] Heterojunction solar cells require cleaning and texturing, chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD), and screen printing. PVD, in particular, deposits a transparent conductive film on the silicon wafer surface to create good ohmic contact, reduce carrier recombination efficiency, and passivate the surface. Magnetron sputtering is typically used for film deposition. Ions generated by an ion source are accelerated and focused in a high vacuum to form a high-speed ion beam that bombards the target surface. The ions exchange kinetic energy with the atoms on the solid surface, causing the atoms on the target to leave the target and deposit onto the silicon wafer to form a thin film. The silicon wafer is then placed into the vacuum chamber via a support device for film deposition.
