As they are green and environmentally friendly products that do not cause environmental pollution and utilize renewable resources, solar cells have broad development prospects in today's energy shortage situation.

[0003] Back passivation is to sequentially generate aluminum oxide and silicon nitride films on the back of the silicon wafer to prepare a passivation layer to form a back passivated battery, which can reduce the recombination of carriers on the back of the battery, increase the carrier life, and thus improve the conversion efficiency of the battery. However, when performing back passivation, TMA and ozone are directly introduced into the reaction box, but this method will make the reaction incomplete and the passivation effect poor.

[0004] Therefore, it is an urgent problem for those skilled in the art to develop a solar panel passivation control process and equipment that can fully react and have good passivation effect. Summary of the invention

[0005] In view of this, the present invention provides a solar panel passivation control process and equipment that can fully react and have good passivation effect.

[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the present invention adopts the following technical solution:
