Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the field of texturing of single crystal silicon wafers, and in particular relates to a single-side texturing method of a single crystal silicon wafer. Background Art
[0002] Traditional heterojunction cells (HJT) use double-sided texturing with symmetrical front and back structures. The double-sided rate of HJT can reach more than 90% (up to 98%), but the symmetrical texture structure will lead to higher interface recombination, which has an adverse effect on the passivation of the silicon substrate. HJT with single-sided texturing (front texturing, back polishing) solves this problem better. The back polishing significantly improves the passivation effect of the silicon substrate compared to the back texturing. The front surface is a pyramid-shaped texture surface to reduce the reflection of the incident light. The back polishing has a high reflectivity. The long-wave light source passing through the monocrystalline silicon wafer can be reflected on the back of the monocrystalline silicon wafer and then absorbed by the silicon substrate again, which can significantly increase the short-circuit current of the battery and increase the open-circuit voltage of the battery.
[0003] The existing single-sided texturing process of monocrystalline silicon wafers is to first use metal ion catalysis to wet-texture the monocrystalline silicon wafers on both sides, then use a diffusion furnace to oxidize both sides, then use a chain device to remove the film on the back side of the single-sided film, and finally polish the back side of the monocrystalline silicon wafer with the back film removed, so as to obtain a single-sided texturing monocrystalline silicon wafer with the front side texturized and the back side polished. On the one hand, this process route requires the addition of high-temperature diffusion equipment and chain cleaning equipment to the existing heterojunction battery production line. The process route is long and the process flow is complicated. It has certain requirements for floor space, electricity, exhaust, and sewage discharge, and requires high cost investment. On the other hand, when using wet double-sided texturing, both sides of the monocrystalline silicon wafer are corroded, resulting in an increase in the amount of corrosion of the monocrystalline silicon wafer, a decrease in the thickness of the monocrystalline silicon wafer, and a decrease in the mechanical properties of the monocrystalline silicon wafer. In addition, high-temperature equipment also increases the probability of fragmentation, resulting in an increase in the fragmentation rate. Summary of the invention
[0004] The present invention aims to solve at least one of the technical problems existing in the prior art. To this end, the present invention proposes a method for single-sided texturing of a monocrystalline silicon wafer. The single-sided texturing method of a monocrystalline silicon wafer provided by the present invention has a simple process, does not require high-temperature equipment, can significantly reduce the fragmentation rate and improve the single-sided texturing yield.
[0005] The invention provides a method for texturing a single surface of a monocrystalline silicon wafer.
[0006] Specifically, a method for texturing a single side of a monocrystalline silicon wafer comprises the following steps: The single crystal silicon wafer is sequentially subjected to cleaning pretreatment and alkali polishing to obtain a double-sided polished single crystal silicon wafer; Putting a plurality of the double-sided polished single crystal silicon wafers into the hollow grooves of the carrier plate; The carrier plate on which the double-sided polished single-crystalline silicon wafer is placed is sent into the first spray chamber of an automatic spray device and is moved and transported at a first speed, and the front side of the double-sided polished single-crystalline silicon wafer is corroded by spraying a texturing liquid to obtain a single-sided texturing single-crystalline silicon wafer with a pyramid texturing surface formed on the front side; wherein the texturing liquid comprises a second alkali liquid, a texturing additive and deionized water, the volume proportions of the second alkali liquid and the texturing additive in the texturing liquid are 1-3% and 2-4% respectively, the temperature of the texturing liquid is 75-85°C, the spraying time is 4-8min, and the bottom width of the pyramid texturing surface is 2-3 microns; The single-sided textured single crystal silicon wafer is sent into the second spray chamber of the automatic spray device through a carrier plate for spray cleaning, and the carrier plate is moved and transported at a second speed in the second spray chamber; The cleaned single-sided textured single crystal silicon wafer is sent into the drying chamber of the automatic spraying device for drying through a carrier plate, and the carrier plate is moved and transported at a third speed in the drying chamber; Take out the dried single-sided textured single crystal silicon wafer.

[0009] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the drying gas in the drying chamber uses industrial grade nitrogen GN2, the drying temperature is 75-85° C., and the drying time is 8-16 min.
[0010] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the specific steps of sequentially performing cleaning pretreatment and alkali polishing on the single crystal silicon wafer to obtain a double-sided polished single crystal silicon wafer include: The monocrystalline silicon wafer is immersed in a room temperature acidic cleaning solution in a cleaning tank for cleaning pretreatment, and the cleaning pretreatment time is 5-10 minutes. The acidic cleaning solution includes a mixed solution of hydrofluoric acid and hydrochloric acid; the mixed solution of hydrofluoric acid and hydrochloric acid is conducive to removing impurities such as heavy metals on the surface of the silicon wafer, and preventing impurities from adhering to the surface of the silicon wafer, which makes it difficult to perform operations such as polishing and texturing on the silicon wafer; preferably, after the monocrystalline silicon wafer is cleaned pretreatment, it can also be placed in deionized water for bubbling cleaning, and the cleaning time is 1-5 minutes. After cleaning, replace with new deionized water, and clean 1-3 times, which is conducive to removing unreacted hydrofluoric acid and hydrochloric acid on the surface of the monocrystalline silicon wafer, as well as other impurities, to avoid affecting subsequent processes; Immersing the cleaned and pre-treated single crystal silicon wafer in a first alkali solution in an alkali polishing tank for alkali polishing, wherein the first alkali solution is an aqueous solution of potassium hydroxide or sodium hydroxide, and the reaction temperature of the alkali polishing is 70-80° C. and the time is 1-3 minutes; the corrosion effect of the first alkali solution can remove the damaged surface of the single crystal silicon wafer, thereby improving the flatness of the surface of the single crystal silicon wafer; A double-sided polished single-crystal silicon wafer is obtained, with the front and back sides etched to a thickness of 2-2.5 microns.
[0011] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the double-sided polished single-crystal silicon wafer loses 0.2-0.3g in weight; on the one hand, the etching thickness required for polishing the silicon wafer is small, which reduces the loss of silicon material and thus reduces the cost; on the other hand, the finished silicon wafer is thinned, and the thin silicon wafer has good flexibility, providing the possibility for flexible batteries and components.

[0014] According to some embodiments of the present invention, the carrier includes a plurality of loading units, each of which is provided with a hollow groove, and the inner side of the hollow groove is provided with a hook suitable for carrying the single crystal silicon wafer; through the solution of carrying the single crystal silicon wafer by the carrier provided with the hollow groove, on the one hand, the single crystal silicon wafer is not easy to slide, thus avoiding the spraying and stamping to move the silicon wafer, without the risk of wafer falling, and reducing the fragmentation rate; at the same time, compared with the conventional direct placement on the roller for transmission, the carrier carrying and transmission avoids the generation of roller marks, thereby improving the yield of the single crystal silicon wafer; on the other hand, through the design of the hollow groove, the texturing liquid sprayed onto the front of the single crystal silicon wafer by the automatic spraying device can flow back from the edge of the single crystal silicon wafer through the hollow groove to the groove below the first spray chamber, and return to the automatic spraying device through the circulation recovery device for reuse; the recovery and reuse of the texturing liquid reduces the consumption of the texturing liquid, which is conducive to cost reduction.
[0015] According to some embodiments of the present invention, a first manipulator is provided at the entrance of the first spray chamber of the automatic spray device, and a second manipulator is provided at the exit of the drying chamber of the automatic spray device. The double-sided polished single-crystalline silicon wafer is placed on the carrier by the first manipulator, and the dried single-sided textured single-crystalline silicon wafer is taken out by the second manipulator.
[0016] Compared with the prior art, the present invention has the following beneficial effects: (1) The process is simple and does not require high-temperature equipment, thus avoiding the risk of single-crystal silicon wafers being broken due to high temperature. This can significantly reduce the fragmentation rate and improve the yield of single-crystal silicon wafers. In addition, texturing, cleaning, and drying are all automatically completed in the texturing device, which can save equipment floor space, electricity, exhaust, sewage, manpower, and other costs. (2) After double-sided polishing, single-sided texturing is performed. Only one side of the monocrystalline silicon wafer participates in the texturing reaction. The etching thickness required for polishing the monocrystalline silicon wafer is small, which reduces the loss of silicon material and thus reduces the cost. At the same time, the finished monocrystalline silicon wafer is thinned, and the thin monocrystalline silicon wafer has good flexibility, which provides the possibility for flexible batteries and components. Moreover, there is no texturing reaction on the back side, and no pyramid-shaped texturing is formed. Compared with the conventional texturing monocrystalline silicon wafer (double-sided texturing first, then back polishing), the back surface of the monocrystalline silicon wafer is smoother. The flatness of the back surface of the monocrystalline silicon wafer is significantly improved, which is beneficial to improve the final efficiency of the battery cell. (3) Using a hollow carrier plate to carry single-crystal silicon wafers can not only reduce the fragmentation rate and improve the silicon wafer yield, but also prevent the single-crystal silicon wafers from sliding, thus avoiding the movement of the silicon wafers by spraying and punching. Compared with conventional roller transmission, the carrier plate can avoid the generation of roller marks, further improving the single-crystal silicon wafer yield. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
