Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of silicon wafer cleaning, and particularly relates to a method for cleaning the surface of a silicon wafer by using micro-nano bubble water. BACKGROUND
[0002] The cleaning method for the surface of a silicon wafer mainly includes alkali etching cleaning and RCA cleaning. The conventional alkali etching cleaning process generally includes the following steps: pre-cleaning, water washing, alkali etching, water washing, post-cleaning, water washing, acid washing, water washing, slow lifting and dehydration, drying, etc. The existing cleaning mainly removes the residual acid and particles on the surface of a silicon wafer by water washing after acid washing, and performs drying treatment by tank drying. The conventional RCA cleaning process generally includes the following steps: alkali etching, water washing, post-cleaning, water washing, acid washing, water washing, acid washing, water washing, slow lifting, drying, etc. At present, the residual acid and particles on the surface of a silicon wafer are mainly removed by water washing after acid washing, and drying treatment is performed by tank drying.
[0003] However, both alkali etching cleaning and RCA cleaning need to remove the residual acid after acid washing and the final residual particles by water washing. Since the surface tension of water is large, the bottom of the pyramid on the surface of a silicon wafer cannot be cleaned deeply, and secondary pollution occurs in the subsequent drying process, which finally leads to more than 500 residual particles on the surface of a silicon wafer.
[0004] Therefore, how to overcome the defect that the bottom of the pyramid cannot be cleaned completely in the existing silicon wafer cleaning process is a technical problem that needs to be solved in the field.
[0005] It should be noted that the above information disclosed in the background section is only used to understand the background of the present application, and therefore, the above description is not considered as information of the prior art. SUMMARY

[0017] The method for cleaning the surface of the silicon wafer by using the micro-nano bubble water has the advantages that: the high permeability and low surface tension of the functional water, and the micro-nano bubbles with a diameter of microns are used to thoroughly clean the deep-layer grains at the bottom of the silicon wafer pyramid and the bottom of the alkaline cleaning tower; the effective adsorption of the micro-nano bubbles and the surface grains of the silicon wafer is achieved by using opposite positive and negative electrodes; the effective cleaning of the residual micron-level grains is achieved in the pre-adsorption and post-adsorption detachment and the post-blast detachment; and the grains on the surface of the silicon wafer are reduced by more than 97% compared with the conventional process, while the drying treatment is performed in cooperation with the tunnel drying.

[0027] Some embodiments of the present application will be described in detail with reference to the drawings in conjunction with the following embodiments. The embodiments described below and the features in the embodiments can be combined with each other as long as there is no conflict.
[0028] The embodiment of the present disclosure provides a method for cleaning the surface of a silicon wafer by using micro-nano bubble water, comprising the following steps: S1, adding a silicon wafer into functional water, wherein the functional water comprises micro-nano bubbles and carries opposite charges to the particles; S2, after the micro-nano bubbles adsorb the particles on the surface of the silicon wafer, the micro-nano bubbles are separated from the surface of the silicon wafer; S3, the micro-nano bubbles remaining on the surface of the silicon wafer are burst, and the residual particles are separated from the surface of the silicon wafer under the influence of the shock wave generated by the burst of the micro-nano bubbles.
[0029] In some embodiments, specifically, the functional water is micro-nano bubble water, the diameter of the micro-nano bubble ranges from 10 nm to 100 μm, and the concentration is 10 6 ~10 9 μg / ml.
[0030] Specifically, there are charges on the surface of the functional water. During the rising of the bubbles in the liquid, the bubbles shrink and become smaller, and the charge density increases. When the functional water disappears, a large amount of energy is released, and the particles are stripped from the surface of the object under the action of the force through the different charges carried by the surface of the functional water and the surface of the particles.
[0031] Specifically, in the functional water, the energy released when the bubbles with surface charges disappear makes the functional water generate a large number of hydroxyl radicals, which have strong oxidizing properties and can remove the organic matter on the surface of the object to be cleaned.
[0032] In some embodiments, specifically, the step S1 further includes a pretreatment before the silicon wafer is put into the functional water.
[0033] In some embodiments, specifically, the pretreatment includes soaking the silicon wafer in a metal ion solution to load charges on the surface particles of the silicon wafer.
[0034] In some embodiments, specifically, the way of placing the silicon wafer in the step S1 includes at least one of horizontal placement and vertical placement.
[0035] Specifically, the micro-nano bubbles in the functional water will rise, and the horizontal placement of the silicon wafer before the vertical placement can more effectively improve the cleaning efficiency.
[0036] In some embodiments, specifically, in the step S1, the surface particles of the silicon wafer are in sufficient contact with the micro-nano bubbles by being sprayed with the functional water or soaked in the functional water.
[0037] Specifically, by pre-soaking the functional water, the micro-nano bubbles are more easily adsorbed on the edges, peaks and other uneven places when slowly lifting, thereby improving the cleaning efficiency.
[0038] In some embodiments, specifically, in the step S2, the micro-nano bubbles adsorbed with the particles are detached from the surface of the silicon wafer by bubbling or brushing.
[0039] In some embodiments, specifically, the step S2 further includes turning on an electric field to adsorb the micro-nano bubbles in the functional water to the surface of the particles and / or horizontally repelling or moving up and down the micro-nano bubbles adsorbed with the particles by the electric field.
[0040] The embodiments of the present disclosure also provide an alkaline cleaning process, which includes, in sequence, pre-cleaning, water washing, alkaline cleaning, water washing, post-cleaning, water washing, acid cleaning, water washing, functional water cleaning, slow lifting, and drying; wherein the functional water cleaning uses the method described above to clean the surface of the silicon wafer with micro-nano bubble water; and the drying includes tunnel drying.
[0041] The embodiments of the present disclosure also provide an RCA cleaning process, which includes, in sequence, alkaline etching, water washing, post-cleaning, water washing, acid cleaning, water washing, acid cleaning, functional water cleaning, slow lifting, and drying; wherein the functional water cleaning uses the method described above to clean the surface of the silicon wafer with micro-nano bubble water; and the drying includes tunnel drying.
[0042] Specifically, the tunnel drying adopts a ring closed loop drying, avoids the particulate matter in the external space from entering the drying cavity to cause secondary pollution on the surface of the silicon wafer after cleaning, thereby improving the cleanliness of the silicon wafer after drying.
[0043] Specifically, the present application deals with the cleaning of silicon wafers in the production process of photovoltaic cells. After single-side BSG removal, the silicon wafers need to be treated by alkali etching. After alkali etching, a passivation film layer needs to be made on the polished surface. In order to ensure the quality of the film layer, the surface of the silicon wafer after alkali etching needs to maintain high cleanliness. The final cleaning of the traditional alkali etching process is pure water cleaning, and there are still many micron-sized particles remaining on the polished surface of the silicon wafer after cleaning. Since the thickness of the tunnel oxide layer and the polysilicon layer in the subsequent process is nanometer level, the micron-sized particle pollution has a great impact on the quality of the film layer. Therefore, a new functional water cleaning method for silicon wafers is invented to realize the above micron-sized particle cleaning function.
[0044] Example 1
[0045] The cleaning method is alkali etching cleaning, which comprises the following steps:
[0046] S11, the silicon wafer is placed in a carrier and put into a pre-cleaning tank, and the surface of the silicon wafer is cleaned by an alkaline hydrogen peroxide solution, the reaction temperature is 60-80℃, and the reaction time is 90-180 seconds;
[0047] S12, the carrier is transferred to a water washing tank, and the residual chemical liquid on the surface of the silicon wafer is removed by overflow rinsing with pure water, the rinsing temperature is normal temperature, and the rinsing time is 120-180 seconds;
[0048] S13, the carrier is transferred to an alkali etching tank, and the back surface of the silicon wafer is etched by alkali and additives, the reaction temperature is 50-80℃, and the reaction time is 180-300 seconds;
[0049] S14, the carrier is transferred to a water washing tank, and the residual chemical liquid on the surface of the silicon wafer is removed by overflow rinsing with pure water, the rinsing temperature is normal temperature, and the rinsing time is 120-180 seconds;
[0050] S15, the carrier is transferred to a post-cleaning tank, and the residual additives and alkaline chemical liquid on the surface of the silicon wafer are removed by an alkaline hydrogen peroxide solution;
[0051] S16, the carrier is transferred to a pure water rinsing tank, and the residual chemical liquid is removed by overflow rinsing with pure water, the rinsing temperature is normal temperature, and the rinsing time is 120-180 seconds;
[0052] S17, the carrier is transferred to an acid washing tank, and the residual alkali and metal ions on the surface of the silicon wafer are removed by an acidic chemical liquid;
[0053] S18, transfer the vehicle to the pure water rinsing tank and rinse it with pure water overflow to remove residual medicine. The rinsing temperature is room temperature and the rinsing time is 120-180 seconds.
[0054] S19, the carrier is transferred to a functional water rinsing tank to remove micron-sized particles from the silicon wafer surface. The functional water in the rinsing tank is micro / nano bubble water with a diameter ranging from 10 nm to 100 μm and a concentration of 10%. 6 ~10 9 granules / ml;
[0055] S110, the carrier is transferred to the hot water slow-lift tank for pre-dehydration before drying;
[0056] S111: Transfer the carrier to the drying tank and dry the silicon wafers using a tunnel drying method. The drying temperature is 65-85℃ and the drying time is less than 10 minutes.
[0057] Specifically, step S19 uses the cleaning method described above to clean the surface of the silicon wafer with functional water.
[0058] Specifically, in step S19, the silicon wafers are placed vertically into a basket, and the robotic arm picks up the basket containing the silicon wafers and places it in a cleaning tank for soaking and cleaning.
[0059] Specifically, in step S19, the micro-nano bubbles detach because the surface charge of the micro-nano bubbles is the same as that of the silicon wafer. Under the action of repulsion, the micro-nano bubbles and the silicon wafer will not adhere to each other, and thus detach.
[0060] Please see Figure 1 and Figure 2 ,like Figure 1 and Figure 2 The figures shown are the particle size distribution charts for the control group (pure water + trough drying) and the experimental group (functional water + tunnel drying), respectively. Specific data are shown in Table 1 and below. Figure 3 As shown, the increase in particle size on the surface of silicon wafers properly treated with tunnel drying (right) is significantly lower than that with trough drying (left), and this applies to silicon wafers of different sizes.

The electrical performance verification data are as follows:

[0067] Specifically, in the table, Eta refers to conversion efficiency, Uoc refers to open circuit voltage (v), Isc refers to short circuit current (A), FF refers to fill factor, Rs refers to contact resistance (ohm), Rsh refers to parallel resistance (ohm), and Irev refers to leakage current (A). The same meaning as herein is used again below.
[0068] Specifically, the present application deals with the RCA cleaning of a silicon wafer in the production process of a photovoltaic cell. After single-sided PSG removal, the silicon wafer needs to be subjected to front-side polysilicon plating etching and cleaning treatment. After RCA, an aluminum oxide passivation film layer needs to be made on the front side. In order to ensure the quality of the film layer, the surface of the silicon wafer after RCA needs to maintain high cleanliness. The final cleaning of the traditional RCA process is pure water cleaning, and after cleaning, there are still many micron-sized particles on the surface of the silicon wafer, which greatly affects the quality of the subsequent aluminum oxide passivation film layer. Therefore, a brand new functional water silicon wafer cleaning method is invented to achieve the above micron-sized particle cleaning function and improve the passivation effect of the subsequent film layer.
[0069] Example 2
