Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention relates to a phosphorus diffusion method and a preparation method of a TOPCon battery and applications thereof. Background Art
[0002] Energy is the material basis for human survival and development. As a new type of energy, solar energy has the characteristics of being inexhaustible and inexhaustible. Therefore, it has always attracted widespread attention and photovoltaic technology has been continuously developing. As one of the current mainstream high-efficiency crystalline silicon solar cells, the main feature of the TOPCon cell is that an ultra-thin tunneling oxide layer and a doped polysilicon layer are prepared on the back of the cell, which together form a passivation contact structure. The tunneling oxide layer contacts the silicon substrate, neutralizes the dangling bonds on the silicon surface, and performs excellent chemical passivation; due to the difference in Fermi level between doped polysilicon and the silicon substrate, the band bending is caused on the surface of the silicon substrate, which can allow electrons to pass through and block holes, realizing the selective collection of carriers, thereby reducing the current loss caused by metal contact recombination and improving the battery conversion efficiency.
[0003] In the existing matching phosphorus diffusion process, the doping of phosphorus atoms directly affects the passivation effect: when the doping concentration is too high, more phosphorus atoms will enter the silicon substrate, the integrity of the tunneling oxide layer will be destroyed, and the selective collection of carriers cannot be achieved; when the doping concentration is too low, the concentration of phosphorus atoms reaching the tunneling oxide layer is insufficient, making it difficult to form the field passivation effect of the N / N+ structure, and at the same time affecting the contact with the metal electrode. Therefore, for the phosphorus diffusion process, finding the balance between the above two and improving the controllability of the process are the key to improving the conversion efficiency of TOPCon cells. Summary of the invention
[0004] In view of the shortcomings and deficiencies of the prior art, the present invention provides an improved phosphorus diffusion method for TOPCon cells. This method is used to dope the polysilicon in the TOPCon cell with phosphorus, which can not only ensure the integrity of the tunneling oxide layer and achieve chemical passivation of the silicon substrate surface, but also combine with the doped polysilicon to achieve selective collection of carriers and enhance the field passivation effect.
[0005] To achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is as follows:
[0006] A phosphorus diffusion method for a TOPCon battery comprises the following steps: heating a silicon wafer having a tunneling oxide layer and an amorphous silicon layer formed on the back side, performing a first through-source deposition, a second through-source deposition, an aerobic driving treatment, an anaerobic driving treatment, a third through-source deposition and cooling annealing; the temperatures of the first through-source deposition, the second through-source deposition and the third through-source deposition are increased in sequence; the temperature of the aerobic driving treatment is higher than the temperature of the second through-source deposition; and the temperature of the anaerobic driving treatment is higher than the temperature of the second through-source deposition.
[0007] In the prior art, it is difficult to control the balanced phosphorus doping concentration in the phosphorus diffusion process. When the doping concentration is too high, more phosphorus atoms will enter the silicon substrate, the integrity of the tunneling oxide layer will be destroyed, and the selective collection of carriers cannot be achieved; when the doping concentration is too low, the concentration of phosphorus atoms reaching the tunneling oxide layer is insufficient, and it is difficult to form the field passivation effect of the N / N+ structure, and the contact with the metal electrode is affected. It is always difficult to simultaneously ensure the integrity of the tunneling oxide layer, achieve chemical passivation on the surface of the silicon substrate, and combine with the doped polysilicon to achieve selective collection of carriers, and enhance the field passivation effect. The inventors of the present application have discovered through research that, in the phosphorus diffusion process, by adopting three source passes with successively increasing temperatures, and sequentially performing aerobic boost treatment and anaerobic boost treatment after the second source pass, and controlling the temperature during the boost treatment to be higher than the temperature of the second source pass, it is possible to achieve stable control of the phosphorus doping concentration, thereby ensuring the integrity of the tunneling oxide layer and achieving chemical passivation of the silicon substrate surface, while also combining with the doped polysilicon to achieve selective collection of carriers and enhance the field passivation effect.
[0008] The present invention controls the doping of phosphorus atoms in a silicon wafer by three-way source passing, which is mainly the first low-temperature source passing - the second temperature-raising source passing - aerobic propulsion - oxygen-free propulsion - the third high-temperature source passing, and is controlled in steps. During the temperature-raising and source passing process, amorphous silicon is doped with phosphorus atoms while crystallizing, so that the distribution of phosphorus atoms in polysilicon is more uniform. At the same time, low-temperature diffusion ensures that a small amount of phosphorus atoms enter the silicon substrate, and a field passivation layer caused by concentration difference is formed on the surface of the silicon wafer, which is conducive to the separation and collection of carriers, thereby increasing the open circuit voltage; aerobic propulsion allows the surface phosphorus atoms to fully react, and superimposed oxygen-free propulsion allows the tunneling oxide layer to have a high concentration of phosphorus doping away from the substrate, thereby enhancing the field passivation effect; the third high-temperature source passing can appropriately increase the polysilicon doping concentration, while reducing the contact resistance between the back gate line and the silicon wafer.

[0138] The TOPCon battery in each embodiment and comparative example was tested for minority carrier lifetime by quasi-steady-state photoconductivity method (test instrument Sinton WCT-120), with specific operation steps: (1) Turn on the computer and the temperature control switch of the test bench, and preheat for 30 minutes; (2) Open the test software, load the test recipe, set the sample type to n-type, and input parameters such as silicon wafer thickness and resistivity; (3) Zero the table; (4) Place the sample for testing. For accuracy, test 5 points (center and four corners) on each silicon wafer, and take the average value of the results. The results are shown in Table 1 below, where J0 / 2 refers to saturation current density, iVoc refers to implicit open circuit voltage, and iFF refers to implicit fill factor.

[0140] Minority carrier lifetime (μs) <![CDATA[J0 / 2(A / cm 2 )]]> iVoc(V) iFF(%) Embodiment 1 2529 5.9 0.728 85.801 Embodiment 2 2726 6.6 0.728 86.200 Embodiment 3 2337 7.2 0.725 85.956 Comparative Example 1 2024 8.8 0.722 85.935 Comparative Example 2 1523 9.8 0.717 85.302 Comparative Example 3 1700 10.8 0.718 85.759
[0141] It can be seen that the minority carrier lifetime of the TOPCon battery of the embodiment of the present invention is significantly longer than that of the comparative example, and iVoc and iFF are also improved to varying degrees, that is, the passivation effect is significantly improved. It can be seen that the specific phosphorus diffusion method of the present invention can not only ensure the integrity of the tunneling oxide layer and realize the chemical passivation of the silicon substrate surface, but also combine with the doped polysilicon to realize the selective collection of carriers and enhance the field passivation effect.
