Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of solar cells, and specifically, relates to a method for preparing a selective emitter of an N-type crystalline silicon solar cell, and more specifically, to a method for preparing a selective emitter (SE). Background Art
[0002] The characteristic of selectively doped solar cells is that a selectively doped structure is prepared on a silicon wafer, so that the metal electrode contact area of the solar cell is heavily doped with impurities to reduce the contact resistance and metal recombination of the cell; at the same time, light doping is performed in the non-metallic electrode area to reduce surface Auger recombination, increase the carrier collection rate, improve the short-wave response, improve the passivation effect, increase the opening voltage, and thus improve the electrical performance of the solar cell.
[0003] N-type high-efficiency battery technology is the next generation product after PERC batteries. The battery production capacity layout in 2022 has exceeded 60GW, and the market prospects are broad. The implementation of selective emitter technology on N-type batteries can bring significant efficiency improvements, which is of great significance.
[0004] Compared with the phosphorus-doped SE structure on P-type silicon wafers, it is very difficult to realize the boron-doped SE structure on N-type silicon wafers. (1) The atomic radius of boron is 0.082nm, the atomic radius of silicon is 0.118nm, and the mismatch ratio is 0.75. The lattice tension generated during the diffusion process leads to dislocation formation, which reduces the diffusion rate. (2) The maximum solid solubility of boron in silicon is about 5E+20cm-3. The solid solubility of boron is lower, the doping difficulty is higher, and higher energy is required. Therefore, it is difficult to use a laser doping method similar to phosphorus SE (first diffuse phosphorus, use the surface phosphorus silicon glass layer as the doping source, and then perform laser doping) to prepare a boron SE structure (first diffuse boron, use the surface borosilicate glass layer as the doping source, and then perform laser doping). Once the laser energy is too high, it will cause large laser damage in the local area, increasing the recombination of the area. If the laser energy is too low, it is difficult for the laser to dope the boron in the borosilicate glass layer into the P+ layer, and the heavily doped area cannot form an effective selective emitter structure, resulting in difficulty in reducing the contact resistance.
[0005] In order to solve the difficulty of realizing the boron SE structure on N-type cells, various patents have mentioned a variety of methods: (1) first diffuse to form a borosilicate glass layer, then locally dope it with a laser, and then perform a high-temperature oxidation annealing step after cleaning; (2) first diffuse to form a borosilicate glass layer, then locally groove it with a laser, and then perform a second high-temperature diffusion after cleaning. Both methods require two high-temperature equipment steps, which increases the number of steps.
[0006] There is also a type of boron source printing method, which has a complicated process and uneven doping under high-temperature advancement conditions. At the same time, the printing of the boron source is prone to pollution, and it is not an acceptable solution at present.
[0007] Patent No. CN113314627A proposes a new method for realizing the phosphorus SE structure of PERC cells, but this method still has some obvious defects. Summary of the invention
[0008] In view of the defects of the above-mentioned method, the present invention application proposes a method for preparing a selective emitter of an N-type crystalline silicon solar cell, which can be applicable to all N-type high-efficiency battery technologies, simplifies the preparation method of the boron SE structure, and can effectively meet the different concentration requirements of the lightly doped area and the heavily doped area, thereby significantly improving the conversion efficiency of the N-type battery.
[0009] The present invention is achieved by the following steps:
[0010] S1, texturing the surface of the N-type silicon wafer;
[0011] S2, bombarding the proposed heavily doped area on the surface of the N-type silicon wafer to obtain the bombarded proposed heavily doped area;
[0012] S3, pickling to remove possible dirt on the surface of the N-type silicon wafer after bombardment treatment;
[0013] S4, and then put the N-type silicon wafer cleaned in S3 into a diffusion furnace, and perform a through-source junction process on the crystalline silicon in the diffusion furnace, and finally form a heavily doped junction in the intended heavily doped area on the surface of the crystalline silicon, and form a lightly doped junction in other junction areas on the surface of the crystalline silicon.
[0014] The principle of the present invention is that the diffusion of boron atoms is almost entirely carried out through a self-interstitial mechanism. Self-interstitial diffusion comes from the collision of silicon self-interstitial atoms with displaced boron atoms, causing them to move to an interstitial position. Then the interstitial boron atom will collide with another silicon atom at the silicon lattice, causing it to move to a self-interstitial position, and the interstitial boron atom occupies this lattice position. Self-interstitial atomic diffusion requires the existence of vacancies or gaps, and the diffusion rate depends on the concentration of silicon self-interstitial atoms. Therefore, only by breaking enough silicon lattice bonds and forming enough vacancies and gaps can the diffusion rate of boron atoms be accelerated.
[0015] The breaking of crystal bonds is a high-energy driven process. The present invention bombards the quasi-heavy doping area on the N-type silicon wafer with a high-energy laser, causing a large number of silicon crystal bonds to break there, increasing the concentration of vacancies and self-interstitial atoms in the silicon wafer, and further helping to accelerate the diffusion of boron atoms. By utilizing this difference in diffusion rate, a high-concentration heavy doping can be formed in the laser-processed area on the surface of the silicon wafer through only one diffusion, and a low-concentration shallow doping can be formed in the non-laser-processed area. The crystal bond breakage caused by laser bombardment can also be annealed and repaired in the subsequent high-temperature diffusion process.
[0016] Furthermore, the bombardment treatment method is: forming damage on the surface of the N-type silicon wafer by laser beam marking.
[0017] Furthermore, the laser used for the bombardment treatment is a sub-nanosecond, picosecond or femtosecond laser, with a pulse width of 100fs-1ns and an instantaneous peak power of 50KW-500MW.
[0018] The special laser process used in this application bombards N-type silicon wafers, and the effect to be achieved is to only break the silicon crystal bonds without producing other adverse effects. The nanosecond laser pulse time is too long, and the thermal effect phenomenon is obvious, which will form thermal melt damage on the surface of the silicon wafer. The thermal melt damage must be removed by alkali washing. The thermal melt damage will seriously increase the surface recombination and affect the light trapping effect and the absorption of light. On the other hand, the instantaneous peak power of the nanosecond laser cannot be too low, otherwise it is difficult to break enough silicon crystal bonds, and it will not have a significant effect on increasing the diffusion rate of boron atoms.
[0019] Furthermore, the laser wavelength of the bombardment treatment is 355nm-532nm. The shorter the laser wavelength, the higher the energy of a single photon, and the more conducive it is to breaking the silicon crystal bond. The laser wavelength mentioned in the patent number CN113314627A is 1064nm, which is infrared light. The infrared thermal effect is obvious, which will cause thermal ablation on the surface of the silicon wafer and cause a high recombination rate on the surface of the silicon wafer.
[0020] Furthermore, the N-type silicon wafer is cleaned in a low-concentration alkaline solution for 5-15 seconds after being treated with laser bombardment, thereby reducing the consumption of chemicals.
[0021] Furthermore, after the S1 texturing step, the surface of the crystalline silicon wafer is subjected to oxidation treatment, and after the oxidation treatment, the area to be heavily doped on the surface of the crystalline silicon is subjected to laser bombardment treatment.
[0022] Furthermore, the N-type silicon wafer after laser bombardment must be pickled before entering the diffusion tube to remove possible dirt on the surface. The diffusion tube is a high-temperature device and it is necessary to ensure that no impurities are introduced. If the cleanliness can be controlled, this cleaning step can be omitted.
[0023] Furthermore, the surface texturing treatment in step S1 is not only texturing, but also acid polishing or alkaline polishing required by other battery technologies.
[0024] Furthermore, the selective emitter formation method proposed in the present application can be used in any N-type battery structure to form a boron-doped selective emitter structure.
[0025] After adopting the above technical solution, the beneficial effects of the present invention are:
[0026] Compared with the existing selective emitter preparation technology, the present invention provides a method for preparing a boron-doped selective emitter for an N-type battery, which can simplify the process flow and can be used for subsequent processes after washing in a low-concentration alkaline solution for 5-15 seconds. Only one laser process is required and only one high-temperature diffusion is required to achieve a boron-doped selective emitter. It can effectively improve electrical performance and has the significant effects of high mass production feasibility and low unit watt cost. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS

Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0069] Example 4
[0070] Compared with Example 1, in this embodiment, the cleaning solution after laser bombardment treatment can use an alkaline solution instead of a 5% HF solution, and the alkaline solution includes an aqueous solution of NaOH or KOH or TMAH with a concentration range of 10-50wt%, and the alkaline solution is corroded for 100-600s at 25-70°C; further, a mixed solution including polydimethylsiloxane and trimethylammonium bromide is added to the alkaline corrosion solution, which can shorten the alkaline corrosion time to 10-500s at a temperature range of 25-70°C, and can improve the cleaning ability of the silicon surface layer after laser bombardment, effectively clean the dirt on the surface of the crystalline silicon, and obtain a cleaner surface.
[0071] For example, if the etching solution is 40wt% KOH, the etching temperature is 70℃, and the etching time is 7min, the objects to be cleaned in the bombardment area can be cleaned. If the etching solution is 30wt% KOH, and the additive PDMS+trimethylammonium bromide mixed solution is added at about 5‰, the etching temperature is 50℃, and the etching time is reduced to 4min, the objects to be cleaned in the bombardment area can be cleaned.
[0072] In contrast, the etching solution is 20wt% KOH, and the additive PDMS+trimethylammonium bromide mixed solution is added at about 5‰, the etching temperature is 70℃, and the etching time is reduced to 6min, and the objects to be cleaned in the bombardment treatment area can be cleaned. It can be seen that after adding the additive, the corrosion rate increases and the corrosion time becomes shorter. Adding the additive can enhance the corrosion ability and surface cleaning ability of the alkali solution after bombarding the silicon substrate surface.
