Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of back contact batteries, and in particular relates to a graphite boat saturation method and application suitable for a PECVD tunneling polycrystalline layer deposition process. Background Art
[0002] Tubular PECVD is widely used in solar cells. The saturation effect of the graphite boat affects the coating effect of tubular PECVD to a considerable extent. If the saturation process of the graphite boat cannot be controlled well, the cell efficiency will be greatly affected.
[0003] At present, tubular PECVD is mainly used to deposit silicon nitride in the industry, so the traditional graphite boat saturation process mainly uses silicon nitride saturation. With the continuous improvement of PECVD technology, the industry currently uses more tubular PECVD to deposit tunneling polysilicon processes. Since the tunneling polycrystalline process requires the deposition of a high-quality tunneling oxide layer to ensure excellent interface passivation, when using the traditional graphite boat silicon nitride saturation method, when the tunneling oxide layer is grown by nitrous oxide plasma bombardment, the nitrous oxide will corrode the graphite boat and dope the nitrogen element in the silicon nitride into the oxide layer, resulting in a serious decrease in the passivation level, affecting the battery efficiency. With the increase in the number of coating times, this effect can be gradually reduced, and the pickling time is long.
[0004] It should be noted that this part of the present invention only provides background technology related to the present invention and does not necessarily constitute prior art or known technology. Summary of the invention

[0023] Beneficial effects:
[0024] The present invention adopts the above technical scheme to first deposit a silicon nitride film of suitable thickness on the surface of the graphite boat, and then perform a suitable high-power hydrogen treatment after the deposition is completed to form a clean layer on the surface of the silicon nitride film to prevent nitrogen element overflow, and finally deposit a second film layer of silicon oxide film of suitable thickness to obtain a saturated graphite boat; when used in the PECVD deposition tunneling polycrystalline layer process, a high-quality tunneling oxide layer can be deposited to ensure excellent interface passivation.
[0025] The saturated graphite boat of the present invention can deposit a high-quality tunneling polycrystalline layer, improve the passivation level, improve the conversion efficiency of the battery, solve the influence of graphite boat saturation on the previous rounds of coating, and improve the production yield. At the same time, the graphite boat saturation method used in the present invention can greatly shorten the pickling time of the graphite boat. Conventional graphite boat saturation processes basically consider the cleaning of the graphite boat and the uniformity of coating. Because the PE-POLY process (i.e., the tunneling polycrystalline process) is a new process in recent years, there is no graphite boat saturation method specifically suitable for the tunneling polycrystalline process. The graphite boat saturation method of the present invention can completely isolate the influence of impurities on the tunneling polycrystalline layer and ensure the passivation level.
[0026] Further research has found that the thickness of the silicon oxide film is related to the deposition temperature used in the PE-POLY process (PECVD deposition tunneling polycrystalline layer process). Since the deposition temperature range of the PE-POLY process is relatively large, it can be deposited at 300-600°C. Different deposition temperatures directly affect the overflow of nitrogen. In this regard, in the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the thickness d of the silicon oxide film is controlled according to the deposition temperature T of the tunneling polycrystalline layer, and satisfies: d=(T / 2)×α, α is 1.3-3.5, d is in nm, and T is in °C. It can match the deposition temperature T with the appropriate thickness d, which is more conducive to effectively preventing the overflow of nitrogen in the silicon nitride film and increasing the service life of the graphite boat.
