For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in the present invention can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0018] like Figure 1 As shown, a method for solving the water mark on the appearance of topcon batteries includes the following steps: S1: Put the silicon wafer into the furnace tube, heat it to 420℃, and close the tube for leak detection; S2: After the temperature stabilizes to 420°C, 10000 sccm of nitrogen is introduced to purge the furnace tube; S3: After the temperature reaches 420 degrees, continue to heat up to 450 degrees for a second heating; S4: After the nitrogen purge is completed, use 13000W RF power to perform tunneling preparation and maintain the temperature at 450 degrees; S5: After the first tunneling layer is deposited, use 8000w RF power to prepare the poly layer and maintain 450 degrees; S6: In the first to fifth steps, a temperature monitoring and control system is set to monitor and control the temperature in real time; S7: After the film layer is deposited, 40,000 sccm of nitrogen is passed for back pressure and purge.

[0019] In the poly process, the temperature was raised from 420 degrees to 450 degrees, and the furnace tube temperature control system extreme difference control and high temperature time control were used to successfully improve the appearance water mark problem, improve the product's appearance quality and yield rate, and provide strong support for the efficient production of photovoltaic cells.
[0020] Furthermore, in steps S1-S7, the watermark problem is solved by increasing the temperature of the poly process from 420 degrees to 450 degrees.
[0021] Furthermore, in steps S1-S7, the heating system of the production equipment is first accurately calibrated to ensure that the temperature can be stably maintained at 450 degrees.
[0022] Furthermore, in steps S1-S7, the reaction environment in the poly process is strictly monitored, including gas flow and pressure parameters.
[0023] Furthermore, the process parameters are adjusted in steps S1-S7 to ensure the growth quality of the poly layer under the new temperature conditions.
[0024] Furthermore, in the process parameters, the ratio of gas flow is adjusted to adapt to the change in reaction speed after the temperature rises, so as to prevent the problems of aggravated side reactions and uneven growth of the poly layer caused by the temperature rise.
[0025] Furthermore, the temperature monitoring and control system includes a temperature sensor, a gas flow sensor, a pressure sensor, a data transmitter, a central processing unit, a display and a controller.

At the same time, the reaction environment in the poly process is strictly monitored, including parameters such as gas flow and pressure. Because the temperature increase may affect the reaction kinetics, the process parameters need to be adjusted accordingly to ensure the growth quality of the poly layer under the new temperature conditions. For example, the ratio of gas flow is adjusted to adapt to the change in reaction speed after the temperature rises, to prevent problems such as aggravated side reactions or uneven growth of the poly layer caused by the temperature increase.
