Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The utility model discloses a solar cell production field. BACKGROUND

[0002] In the manufacture of crystalline silicon solar cells, the plating process of the front and back surfaces uses plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) technology. In PECVD technology, the graphite boat of the silicon wafer carrying device needs to be powered, and the deposition of the medium film on the surface of the silicon wafer is realized by loading voltage on adjacent boat pieces. In the design of the lower graphite boat piece, the boat piece is a graphite piece with a hollow center and a uniform thickness at the edge, and the cell piece will inevitably be scratched by the graphite boat frame when the cell piece is inserted into the graphite boat piece, forming a boat frame EL defect. UTILITY MODEL CONTENTS

[0003] The utility model discloses a solar cell production field.

[0004] The utility model employs the technical scheme that a novel graphite boat frame, including sequentially connected graphite boat frame smooth structure section 41, graphite boat frame gradient structure section 42, graphite boat rectangular structure section 43, graphite boat frame smooth structure section 41 is a half circle board, graphite boat frame gradient structure section 42 is a trapezoidal board, graphite boat rectangular structure section 43 is a rectangular board, graphite boat rectangular structure section 43 has graphite boat clamping point 3 on it.

[0005] The length of the graphite boat rectangular structure section 43 is 1.5-3cm, and when the silicon wafer is loaded on the graphite boat, the length of the contact part between the silicon wafer and the graphite boat rectangular structure section 43 is 1-2.5cm.

[0006] The waist length of the graphite boat frame gradient structure section 42 is 3-5cm, and when the silicon wafer is loaded on the graphite boat, the included angle e between the silicon wafer and the graphite boat frame gradient structure section 42 is 1-20 °.

[0007] The radius of the graphite boat frame smooth structure section 41 is 0.2-0.5cm.

[0008] The utility model has the advantages that the graphite boat frame is designed as a smooth gradient structure, which effectively reduces the contact area between the cell piece and the graphite boat frame under the condition that the electric field intensity between the graphite boat frames remains unchanged.

[0009] Compared to traditional graphite boat designs, this design does not affect the uniformity of the electric field distribution between the two graphite boats. Instead, the rounded edges at the intersection of the gradient and horizontal structures of the graphite boats, combined with the smoothed structure of the graphite boats, improve the uniformity of charge distribution across the boats. The smoothed structure eliminates areas of high curvature, improving the uniformity of charge distribution across the boat surface. The gradient structure reduces friction between the graphite boat and the silicon wafer, minimizing EL defects such as scratches and frame marks. BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS
