[0023] The embodiments of the present application aim to provide a method for removing BSG and / or PSG from the surface of a silicon wafer, a crystalline silicon solar cell, and a photovoltaic system. The silicon wafer from which BSG and / or PSG need to be removed is subjected to ozone oxidation treatment. An ozone oxidation layer is formed on the surface of the silicon wafer, and then a layer of water film is covered on the ozone oxidation layer. The water film has a better coverage effect and can form a better water film protection effect, thereby effectively alleviating the situation in which BSG and / or PSG on the edge or side of the silicon wafer is not cleaned up due to the poor water film protection effect, thereby effectively reducing the proportion of leakage at the edge and side of the crystalline silicon solar cell.
[0024] The present application provides a method for removing BSG and / or PSG from a silicon wafer surface, comprising: Performing ozone oxidation treatment on the surface of the silicon wafer to form an ozone oxidation layer to obtain a target silicon wafer; Covering one surface of the target silicon wafer with a layer of water film to form a water film layer; and then performing a BSG cleaning process or a PSG cleaning process on the surface of the target silicon wafer not covered with the water film layer; Wherein, the water film layer covers the ozone oxidation layer.
[0025] In the embodiment of the present application, the process route for removing only BSG on the surface of the silicon wafer is: ozone oxidation treatment → covering with water film → BSG cleaning process; the process route for removing only PSG on the surface of the silicon wafer is: ozone oxidation treatment → covering with water film → PSG cleaning process; process route one for removing both BSG and PSG on the surface of the silicon wafer is: ozone oxidation treatment → covering with water film → BSG cleaning process + ozone oxidation treatment → covering with water film → PSG cleaning process (that is, process route one is: first remove BSG, then remove PSG); process route two for removing both BSG and PSG on the surface of the silicon wafer is: ozone oxidation treatment → covering with water film → PSG cleaning process + ozone oxidation treatment → covering with water film → BSG cleaning process (that is, process route two is: first remove PSG, then remove BSG).
[0026] In the embodiment of the present application, the surface of the silicon wafer is subjected to ozone oxidation treatment, the purpose of which is to form an ozone oxidation layer, improve the water film coverage effect, and form a better water film protection effect; if the silicon wafer is placed in an ozone tank for oxidation, an ozone oxidation layer will be formed on the surface of the silicon wafer, and only the surface that needs to be protected needs to be covered with a water film. If another ozone oxidation treatment method is selected, ozone oxidation treatment can also be performed only on the surface that needs to be protected, so as to form an ozone oxidation layer on a specific surface.
[0027] In the embodiment of the present application, the silicon wafer can be in the shape of a cuboid, and the surface of the silicon wafer can be recorded as the front side (top side), back side (bottom side), front side, back side, left side, and right side; if the back side of the silicon wafer needs to be protected, it is necessary to perform ozone oxidation treatment on the surface of the silicon wafer (only the back side is also acceptable) to form an ozone oxidation layer, and then cover the back side of the silicon wafer with a layer of water film to form a water film layer, and then perform a BSG cleaning process on the front side, front side, back side, left side, and right side of the silicon wafer. If the front side of the silicon wafer needs to be protected, it is necessary to perform ozone oxidation treatment on the surface of the silicon wafer (only the front side is also acceptable) to form an ozone oxidation layer, and then cover the front side of the silicon wafer with a layer of water film to form a water film layer, and then perform a BSG cleaning process on the back side, front side, back side, left side, and right side of the silicon wafer. The PSG cleaning process is similar to the BSG cleaning process and will not be repeated here.
[0028] In the embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the ozone oxidation layer is: 1~5mm (for example, 1mm, 2mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm).
[0029] In an embodiment of the present application, the silicon wafer from which BSG and / or PSG need to be removed is subjected to ozone oxidation treatment, and an ozone oxidation layer is formed on the surface of the silicon wafer. Thereafter, a layer of water film is covered on the ozone oxidation layer. The water film has a better coverage effect and can form a better water film protection effect, thereby effectively alleviating the situation in which BSG and / or PSG are not cleaned cleanly on the edge or side of the silicon wafer due to poor water film protection effect, thereby effectively reducing the proportion of leakage at the edge and side of the crystalline silicon solar cell.
[0030] In an optional embodiment, the thickness of the ozone oxidation layer is 1.8-3.2 mm (for example, 1.8 mm, 2.0 mm, 2.2 mm, 2.4 mm, 2.6 mm, 2.8 mm, 3.0 mm, 3.2 mm). The thickness of the ozone oxidation layer is optimized, and the coverage effect of the water film on the ozone oxidation layer can be further improved to form a better water film protection effect, thereby further alleviating the situation that the BSG and / or PSG on the edge or side of the silicon wafer is not cleaned up due to the poor water film protection effect, and further reducing the proportion of leakage at the edge and side of the crystalline silicon solar cell.
[0031] In an optional embodiment, the method of performing ozone oxidation treatment on the surface of the silicon wafer includes: placing the silicon wafer in an ozone tank with an ozone concentration of 50 to 100 ppm (for example, 50 ppm, 60 ppm, 70 ppm, 80 ppm, 90 ppm, 100 ppm) for ozone oxidation treatment. Optimizing the process parameters of the ozone oxidation treatment can improve the morphology of the ozone oxidation layer, further enhance the coverage of the water film on the ozone oxidation layer, and form a better water film protection effect, thereby further alleviating the situation that the BSG and / or PSG on the edge or side of the silicon wafer is not cleaned up due to the poor water film protection effect, and further reducing the proportion of leakage at the edge and side of the crystalline silicon solar cell.
[0032] In an optional embodiment, the ozone oxidation treatment time is 20 to 30 seconds (for example, 20 seconds, 21 seconds, 22 seconds, 23 seconds, 24 seconds, 25 seconds, 26 seconds, 27 seconds, 28 seconds, 29 seconds, 30 seconds). Optimizing the process parameters of the ozone oxidation treatment can improve the morphology of the ozone oxidation layer, further enhance the coverage of the water film on the ozone oxidation layer, and form a better water film protection effect, thereby further alleviating the situation that the BSG and / or PSG on the edge or side of the silicon wafer is not cleaned up due to the poor water film protection effect, and further reducing the proportion of leakage at the edge and side of the crystalline silicon solar cell.
[0033] The present application also provides a method for removing BSG and PSG from the surface of a silicon wafer, comprising: Performing a first ozone oxidation treatment on the surface of the silicon wafer to form a first ozone oxidation layer, thereby obtaining a first target silicon wafer; Covering one surface of the first target silicon wafer with a layer of water film to form a first water film layer; then performing a BSG cleaning process on the surface of the first target silicon wafer not covered with the first water film to obtain a second target silicon wafer; performing a second ozone oxidation treatment on the surface of the second target silicon wafer to form a second ozone oxidation layer, thereby obtaining a third target silicon wafer; Covering one surface of the third target silicon wafer with a layer of water film to form a second water film layer; and then performing a PSG cleaning process on the surface of the third target silicon wafer not covered with the second water film; Wherein, the first water film layer covers the first ozone oxidation layer; and the second water film layer covers the second ozone oxidation layer.
[0034] When removing BSG and PSG from the silicon wafer surface at the same time, BSG can be removed first and then PSG; or PSG can be removed first and then BSG. In the embodiment of the present application, BSG is removed first and then PSG. This process route has a better effect of removing BSG and PSG, and can effectively reduce the proportion of leakage at the edges and sides of crystalline silicon solar cells.
[0035] In some embodiments, before the second ozone oxidation treatment is performed on the surface of the second target silicon wafer, the method further includes: annealing the second target silicon wafer. The annealing time can be 2-20 minutes. Annealing can effectively improve the crystal defects on the surface of the silicon wafer caused by the BSG cleaning process, and then the second ozone oxidation treatment is performed. The morphology of the second ozone oxidation layer formed is better, which plays a role in improving the morphology of the second ozone oxidation layer, and can further enhance the coverage effect of the water film on the second ozone oxidation layer, forming a better water film protection effect, thereby further alleviating the situation that the BSG and / or PSG on the edge or side of the silicon wafer are not cleaned up due to the poor water film protection effect, thereby further reducing the proportion of leakage at the edge and side of the crystalline silicon solar cell.
[0036] In some embodiments, the temperature of the annealing treatment is 900-950°C (for example, 900°C, 910°C, 920°C, 930°C, 940°C, 950°C). By optimizing the temperature of the annealing treatment, the improvement effect of the crystal defects on the surface of the silicon wafer is better, and then the second ozone oxidation treatment is performed, the morphology of the second ozone oxidation layer is better, which plays a role in improving the morphology of the second ozone oxidation layer, and can further enhance the coverage effect of the water film on the second ozone oxidation layer, forming a better water film protection effect, thereby further alleviating the situation that the BSG and / or PSG on the edge or side of the silicon wafer is not cleaned up due to the poor water film protection effect, and further reducing the proportion of leakage at the edge and side of the crystalline silicon solar cell.
[0037] In some embodiments, the method satisfies at least one of the following characteristics: (1) The thickness of the first ozone oxidation layer is 1.8-2.2 mm; (2) The thickness of the second ozone oxidation layer is 2.8-3.2 mm; (3) The method of performing a first ozone oxidation treatment on the surface of the silicon wafer comprises: placing the silicon wafer in an ozone tank with an ozone concentration of 50 to 70 ppm for ozone oxidation treatment, and the ozone oxidation treatment time is 20 to 25 seconds; (4) The method of performing a second ozone oxidation treatment on the surface of the second target silicon wafer comprises: placing the second target silicon wafer in an ozone tank with an ozone concentration of 80 to 100 ppm for ozone oxidation treatment, and the ozone oxidation treatment time is 25 to 30 seconds; (5) The conductivity of the first hydrofluoric acid etching solution used in the BSG cleaning process is 350-450 S / m, and the cleaning time is 27-33 s; the temperature T1 of the first hydrofluoric acid etching solution satisfies: 20°C ≤ T1 ≤ 40°C; (6) The conductivity of the second hydrofluoric acid etching solution used in the PSG cleaning process is 160-190 S / m, and the cleaning time is 27-33 s; the temperature T2 of the second hydrofluoric acid etching solution satisfies: 20°C ≤ T2 ≤ 40°C.
[0038] In the embodiment of the present application, the thickness of the first ozone oxidation layer and the second ozone oxidation layer are further optimized, which not only ensures the coverage effect of the water film, but also is beneficial to the removal effect of BSG and PSG, thereby further reducing the proportion of leakage at the edges and sides of the crystalline silicon solar cell.
[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, further optimizing the process parameters of the first ozone oxidation treatment and the second ozone oxidation treatment can improve the coverage effect of the water film and form a better water film protection effect, thereby effectively alleviating the situation where the BSG and / or PSG on the edge or side of the silicon wafer are not cleaned cleanly due to the poor water film protection effect, thereby further reducing the proportion of leakage at the edge and side of the crystalline silicon solar cell.
[0040] In the embodiment of the present application, the specific reaction equation of the BSG cleaning process is: SiO2+4HF→SiF4+2H2O, B2O3+6HF→2BF3+3H2O; controlling the conductivity and temperature and other parameters of the hydrofluoric acid etching solution used in the BSG cleaning process and the PSG cleaning process can increase the reaction rate of hydrofluoric acid with the BSG layer and the PSG layer, shorten the reaction time, which is beneficial to the removal effect of BSG and PSG, and at the same time slow down the rate at which hydrofluoric acid erodes the water film protection surface, thereby improving the water film protection effect, and further reducing the proportion of leakage at the edges and sides of the crystalline silicon solar cell.

After that, the second ozone oxidation treatment is performed to form a second ozone oxidation layer with better morphology, which plays a role in improving the morphology of the second ozone oxidation layer, and can further enhance the coverage effect of the water film on the second ozone oxidation layer, thereby forming a better water film protection effect, thereby effectively alleviating the situation where the BSG and / or PSG on the edge or side of the silicon wafer are not cleaned up due to the poor water film protection effect, thereby effectively reducing the proportion of leakage at the edge and side of the crystalline silicon solar cell.
[0084] With reference to the detection data of the above-mentioned Example 1, Example 12, and Example 13, it can be known that controlling the parameters such as the conductivity and temperature of the hydrofluoric acid etching solution used in the BSG cleaning process and the PSG cleaning process can increase the reaction rate of hydrofluoric acid with the BSG layer and the PSG layer, shorten the reaction time, and be beneficial to the removal effect of BSG and PSG. At the same time, it slows down the rate at which hydrofluoric acid erodes the water film protection surface, improves the water film protection effect, and further reduces the proportion of leakage at the edges and sides of the crystalline silicon solar cell.
[0085] In summary, the present application performs ozone oxidation treatment on silicon wafers that need to remove BSG and / or PSG. An ozone oxidation layer will be formed on the surface of the silicon wafer, and then a layer of water film will be covered on the ozone oxidation layer. The water film has a better coverage effect and can form a better water film protection effect, thereby effectively alleviating the situation where BSG and / or PSG are not cleaned cleanly on the edge or side of the silicon wafer due to poor water film protection, thereby effectively reducing the proportion of leakage at the edge and side of the crystalline silicon solar cell.
[0086] The present application may provide a crystalline silicon solar cell (not shown), comprising a silicon wafer, from which (surface) BSG and / or PSG are removed by the above-described method.
[0087] The embodiment of the present application can provide a photovoltaic system, including the crystalline silicon solar cell in any of the above embodiments. The advantages of the above-mentioned crystalline silicon solar cell are also possessed by the photovoltaic system, which will not be repeated here. The above-mentioned photovoltaic system has a wide range of applications, not only limited to photovoltaic power stations, such as ground power stations, rooftop power stations and water power stations, but also includes various equipment and devices that use solar energy to generate electricity, such as user solar power supplies, solar street lights, solar cars and solar buildings. Of course, it can be understood that the application scenarios of the photovoltaic system are not limited to this, that is to say, the photovoltaic system can be used in all fields where solar energy is required for power generation. Taking the photovoltaic power generation system network as an example, the photovoltaic system may include a photovoltaic array, a junction box and an inverter. The photovoltaic array may be an array combination of multiple photovoltaic components. For example, multiple photovoltaic components may form multiple photovoltaic arrays. The photovoltaic array is connected to the junction box. The junction box can converge the current generated by the photovoltaic array. The converged current flows through the inverter and is converted into the alternating current required by the mains power grid and then connected to the mains network to realize solar power supply.
[0088] It should be noted that the terms "center", "longitudinal", "lateral", "length", "width", "thickness", "up", "down", "front", "back", "left", "right", "vertical", "horizontal", "top", "bottom", "inside", "outside", "clockwise", "counterclockwise", "axial", "radial", "circumferential", etc. are only for the convenience of describing the present application and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the device or element referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operated in a specific orientation, and therefore cannot be understood as a limitation on the present application. The orientation words "inside" and "outside" refer to the inside and outside relative to the outline of each component itself. For example, if the device in the accompanying drawings is inverted, the device described as "above other devices or structures" or "above other devices or structures" will be positioned as "below other devices or structures" or "below other devices or structures". Therefore, the exemplary term "above..." can include both "above..." and "below..." orientations. The device can also be positioned in other different ways (rotated 90 degrees or in other orientations), and the spatial relative descriptions used here are interpreted accordingly.
[0089] It should also be noted that "one embodiment", "another embodiment", "embodiment", etc. mentioned in this application refer to the specific features, structures or characteristics described in conjunction with the embodiment included in at least one embodiment generally described in this application. The same expression appearing in multiple places in the specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment.
