Description

Technical Field

[0002] As a new type of passivation technology, TOPCon has become a research hotspot. This technology generates an ultra-thin tunneling oxide layer and a highly doped polysilicon layer on the surface of the battery. The passivation effect of the oxide layer and the field passivation effect of the highly doped polysilicon layer can greatly reduce the minority carrier recombination rate. At the same time, the highly doped polysilicon layer has good conductivity for majority carriers. Therefore, TOPCon batteries have high open circuit voltage and fill factor. When coating TOPCon cells, the silicon wafers to be coated are mounted on a graphite boat, and then the graphite boat is pushed into a vacuum reactor. The boat feet of the graphite boat are energized through the boat support block to form an electric field. At the same time, silane and ammonia are introduced into the vacuum reactor. Under the action of the electric field, the interaction of silane and ammonia generates silicon nitride and adheres to the silicon wafer, thus completing the coating.

[0003] In the process of realizing the utility model, the inventors found that there are at least the following problems in the technology: the existing boat block is made of stainless steel, and the fragmented molten silicon will adhere to the boat block during the coating process, resulting in poor contact between the boat block and the graphite boat. The boat block needs to be replaced frequently to ensure the yield rate of the battery cells. Since the boat block is heavy, it is time-consuming and laborious to replace it, which greatly increases the coating cost. Utility Model Content
