Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of solar photovoltaic technology, and in particular to a phosphorus-antimony co-doped single crystal silicon rod, a preparation method and an application thereof. Background Art

[0002] The resistivity of single crystal silicon rods has a critical influence on the resistivity of silicon wafers. However, in the process of preparing single crystal silicon rods by the direct pulling method, the resistivity of different single crystal silicon rods and even different positions of the same single crystal silicon rod will be different. The single crystal silicon rod has a large resistance variance, which leads to large differences in the resistivity of silicon wafers prepared from single crystal silicon rods. This will directly affect the performance of semiconductor devices and photovoltaic modules, and may lead to a decline in the yield and quality of silicon wafers prepared therefrom and downstream products.

[0003] Patent CN202010723937.7 discloses a method for controlling the resistivity of an n-type single crystal. It uses the difference in the segregation coefficient of phosphorus gallium to increase the resistivity of the tail of the n-type single crystal, narrowing and compressing the resistivity range to the required state. At the same time, the method adds dopants such as gallium and phosphorus silicon alloy at one time, without causing crystal growth disturbances or destroying crystal growth. However, the overall resistivity of the single crystal silicon rod prepared by it is distributed between 1 and 2Ω·cm, and the resistivity deviation between the head and the tail is still large. The yield of the silicon wafer prepared by it is still low when used in battery preparation.

When the single crystal silicon rod is doped with only antimony, since antimony is extremely volatile, on the one hand, the controllability of antimony doping in the preparation process is relatively low, and on the other hand, the resistivity of the prepared single crystal silicon rod is prone to be lower at the head and higher at the tail. Therefore, in the implementation manner of the present application, co-doping with phosphorus and antimony is beneficial to reducing the difference in resistivity of the single crystal silicon rod.

[0028] In order to make the purpose, technical scheme and advantages of the embodiments of the present invention clearer, the technical scheme in the embodiments of the present invention will be described clearly and completely below. If the specific conditions are not specified in the embodiments, they are carried out according to conventional conditions or conditions recommended by the manufacturer. If the manufacturer of the reagents or instruments used is not specified, they are all conventional products that can be purchased commercially.

[0029] The embodiment of the present invention provides a phosphorus-antimony co-doped single crystal silicon rod, wherein the antimony element concentration in the single crystal silicon rod is 2.3×10 16 atoms / cm 3 ~1.17×10 14 atoms / cm 3 , the phosphorus concentration is 7.66×10 15 atoms / cm 3 ~3.9×10 13 atoms / cm 3 The resistivity difference between the head and tail of the single crystal silicon rod is less than 0.08Ω.cm.

[0030] The single crystal silicon rod in the embodiment of the present application is doped with both phosphorus and antimony. When only phosphorus is doped in the single crystal silicon rod, the resistivity of the obtained single crystal silicon rod is usually higher at the head and lower at the tail, which leads to a large difference in resistivity between the head and the tail of the same single crystal silicon rod. When only antimony is doped in the single crystal silicon rod, antimony is very volatile, which leads to relatively low controllability of antimony doping during the preparation process, and on the other hand, the resistivity of the prepared single crystal silicon rod is prone to be lower at the head and higher at the tail. Therefore, in the embodiment of the present application, phosphorus and antimony are co-doped, which is conducive to reducing the difference in resistivity between the head and the tail of the single crystal silicon rod. When the antimony concentration in the single crystal silicon rod is 2.3×10 16 atoms / cm 3 ~1.17×10 14 atoms / cm 3 , the phosphorus concentration is 7.66×10 15 atoms / cm 3 ~3.9×10 13 atoms / cm 3 When the resistivity of the single crystal silicon rod is 0.2Ω.cm~28Ω.cm, the resistivity difference between the head and tail of the single crystal silicon rod co-doped with phosphorus and antimony can be controlled within 0.08Ω.cm. Compared with gallium and phosphorus co-doping, the resistivity distribution of the single crystal silicon rod is narrower, which is more conducive to improving the yield of the battery prepared therefrom.

[0031] In some embodiments, the antimony concentration in the single crystal silicon rod is 2.3×10 16 atoms / cm 3 ~1.17×10 14 atoms / cm 3 , specifically 2.3×10 16 atoms / cm 3 , 2.0×10 16 atoms / cm 3 , 1.5×10 16 atoms / cm 3 , 1.3×10 16 atoms / cm 3 , 1.0×10 16 atoms / cm 3 ,7×10 15 atoms / cm 3 , 3×10 15 atoms / cm 3 , 1×10 15 atoms / cm 3 ,7×10 14 atoms / cm3 , 3×10 14 atoms / cm 3 , 1.17×10 14 atoms / cm 3 .

[0032] In some embodiments, the phosphorus concentration in the single crystal silicon rod is 7.66×10 15 atoms / cm 3 ~3.9×10 13 atoms / cm 3 , specifically 7.66×10 15 atoms / cm 3 5.0×10 15 atoms / cm 3 , 1.0×10 15 atoms / cm 3 , 0.7×10 15 atoms / cm 3 , 0.3×10 15 atoms / cm 3 , 0.1×10 15 atoms / cm 3 , 8×10 13 atoms / cm 3 , 5×10 13 atoms / cm 3 , 3.9×10 13 atoms / cm 3 .

[0033] In an optional embodiment, the antimony concentration in the single crystal silicon rod is 2.3×10 16 atoms / cm 3 ~2.07×10 14 atoms / cm 3 , the phosphorus concentration is 2.6×10 15 atoms / cm 3 ~6.92×10 13 atoms / cm 3 ; At this time, the resistivity of the single crystal silicon rod is 0.5Ω.cm~1.7Ω.cm.

[0034] Preferably, the antimony concentration in the single crystal silicon rod is 5.37×10 15 atoms / cm 3 ~2.55×10 15 atoms / cm 3 , the phosphorus concentration is 1.79×10 15atoms / cm 3 ~8.5×10 14 atoms / cm 3 At this time, the resistivity of the single crystal silicon rod is 0.7Ω.cm~1.4Ω.cm.

[0035] The present invention also provides a method for preparing the phosphorus-antimony co-doped single crystal silicon rod according to any one of the above embodiments by a Czochralski method, comprising:

[0036] Silicon, phosphorus and antimony are added to the furnace after the previous single crystal silicon rod is processed.

[0037] Phosphorus addition mass M 1P =M 2p -M 3P , where M 2p M is the mass of phosphorus element required to prepare the single crystal silicon rod, in g; 3P is the mass of the remaining phosphorus in the furnace, in g;

[0038] The added mass of antimony element is M 1Sb =M 2Sb +(t2+3)×b Sb -M 3Sb , where M 2Sb M is the mass of antimony element required to prepare the single crystal silicon rod, in g; 3Sb is the mass of the remaining antimony element in the furnace, in g; b Sb is the volatility coefficient of antimony element, b Sb It is 0.1h / g~15h / g; t2 is the interval time between T3 and T4, in h; T3 is the time when the previous single crystal silicon rod is removed after the wire is broken, and T4 is the time when the barrel is removed after the last barrel of silicon material is added.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present invention, the amount of phosphorus added is obtained by subtracting the mass of phosphorus remaining in the furnace from the mass of phosphorus required for preparing the single crystal silicon rod. However, for the antimony element, since antimony is volatile, antimony will volatilize between the time when the last single crystal silicon rod is broken and the time when the last bucket of silicon material is added, resulting in a low content of antimony in the furnace. Therefore, in this application, when determining the mass of antimony added, the antimony addition volatility coefficient is introduced. The addition volatility coefficient is an empirical coefficient. In some embodiments, the addition volatility coefficient of antimony element b SbIt can be 0.1h / g to 15h / g, specifically 0.1h / g, 0.3h / g, 0.5h / g, 1h / g, 3h / g, 5h / g, 7h / g, 9h / g, 11h / g, 13h / g, 15h / g. Generally, the volatilization coefficient of the feed is closely related to the temperature in the furnace between T3 and T4. The higher the temperature in the furnace during this period, the higher the volatilization coefficient of the feed. Sb The value of will be larger.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, the M 2p and M 2Sb It is calculated based on the resistivity of the single crystal silicon rod to be prepared, 3P and M 3Sb It is calculated based on the doping concentration at the tail of the previous single crystal silicon rod.

[0041] Specifically, M 2p and M 3P The calculation of can refer to GB / T 13389-92; because phosphorus and antimony belong to the same family, the outermost structure of atoms in the same family is the same, and a free electron is formed during the doping process, and the electrical properties are the same. Therefore, the resistivity calculation can be calculated according to the phosphorus alloy concentration, but the atomic mass is different, resulting in different doping concentrations. Specifically, M 2Sb and M 3Sb The calculation of can refer to the resistivity of phosphorus alloys, just replace the atomic mass of phosphorus with the atomic mass of antimony.

[0042] In an optional embodiment, the antimony element is added into the furnace before the seed crystal is fused and after the silicon and phosphorus are added.

[0043] The preparation of single crystal silicon rods by the Czochralski method generally includes temperature-controlled melting, seeding, shouldering and equal diameter steps. Usually, doping elements and silicon elements are added to the furnace before temperature-controlled melting. In the present application, antimony element is easily volatile. Therefore, antimony is not added together with phosphorus and silicon, but is added to the furnace before seed crystal melting to ensure that the added material can be melted while reducing volatilization.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, when the crystal pulling wire breaks, the furnace is temperature-adjusted and released 1 to 3 times to compensate for the doped antimony element. The mass of the compensatory doped antimony element each time is M0 = (t1+3)×a, wherein a is the temperature adjustment volatility coefficient of the antimony element, and a is 0.1h / g to 15h / g; t1 is the interval time between T1 and T2, in units of h; wherein T1 is the start time of welding, and T2 is the time when the crystal pulling wire breaks.

[0045] Due to the influence of inaccurate furnace power, crucible position, pulling speed or impurity factors, crystal pulling wire breakage is inevitable. When the crystal pulling wire breakage occurs, it will affect the preparation process of the single crystal silicon rod, and the volatilization of the antimony element will increase, which may cause the doping concentration of antimony in different furnaces or different single crystal silicon rods in the same furnace to deviate, so it is necessary to compensate for the doped antimony element. In this application, when compensating for the doped antimony element, the temperature adjustment volatility coefficient of the antimony element is introduced. The temperature adjustment volatility coefficient is an empirical coefficient. In some embodiments, the temperature adjustment volatility coefficient a of the antimony element can be 0.1h / g~15h / g, specifically 0.1h / g, 0.3h / g, 0.5h / g, 1h / g, 3h / g, 5h / g, 7h / g, 9h / g, 11h / g, 13h / g, 15h / g. Generally, the temperature adjustment volatility coefficient is closely related to the furnace temperature between T1 and T2. The higher the furnace temperature during this time period, the greater the value of a.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, the compensatory doping of antimony element is performed by using a supplementary doping device, the structure of which is as follows: Figure 1 and Figure 2 As shown, it includes a sleeve 100 and a push rod 200 that can move along the inner cavity of the sleeve 100, and one end of the push rod 200 passes through the sleeve 100 and is provided with a hopper 300;

[0047] The sleeve 100 is provided with a guide groove, which includes a push-pull groove 410 arranged along the axial direction of the push rod 200 and a steering groove 420 arranged along the circumference of the push rod 200. A slider 700 that can slide along the guide groove is fixed to one side of the push rod 200 located in the sleeve 100.

[0048] When the supplementary doping device in the present application is used for supplementary doping, the material to be supplemented is added into the hopper 300, and the slider 700 is pushed to move along the push-pull groove 410 to withdraw the push rod 200 from the sleeve 100, and the hopper 300 then reaches the position above the single crystal furnace; then the slider 700 is pushed to rotate along the turning groove 420, and the push rod 200 rotates along the axis of the push rod 200 driven by the push block, thereby driving the hopper 300 to flip, and the material in the hopper 300 is poured into the single crystal furnace, and then the slider 700 moves along the turning groove 420 and the push-pull groove 410 in turn, returns to the initial position, and completes the compensatory doping of antimony elements.

[0049] The embodiment of the present invention further provides a silicon wafer prepared from the phosphorus-antimony co-doped single crystal silicon rod described in the above embodiment, with a resistivity of 0.2Ω.cm to 28Ω.cm and an antimony element concentration of 2.3×10 16 atoms / cm 3 ~1.17×10 14 atoms / cm 3 , the phosphorus concentration is 7.66×1015 atoms / cm 3 ~3.9×10 13 atoms / cm 3 .
