Abstract
Description
A surface composite film structure with longitudinal transmission cutoff and transverse transmission conduction, as well as its preparation method and application Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of surface composite film structures of silicon-based semiconductor devices, and in particular to a surface composite film structure with longitudinal transmission cutoff and transverse transmission conduction, as well as a preparation method and application thereof. Background Art
[0002] Excellent and controllable surface passivation and surface carrier transport are key factors in improving the performance of silicon semiconductor physical devices. For silicon semiconductor devices, the requirements for their surfaces are diverse, and different silicon semiconductor physical devices have different requirements for surface composite film structures. Taking solar cells as an example, some cell structures, such as full back-contact solar cells, only need to achieve excellent front surface passivation and optical transmittance characteristics at the same time; some cell structures, such as front and back contact solar cells, need to achieve excellent front surface passivation, longitudinal and lateral carrier transport, and optical transmittance characteristics at the same time.
[0003] To date, the most commonly used surface composite film structures include two categories: one is the surface passivation structure, and the other is the surface passivation contact structure. The surface passivation structure uses a passivation film to achieve good passivation of the silicon surface, reducing recombination, which is manifested as a lower horizontal saturation current density (J0). The saturation current density is a physical quantity used to describe the magnitude of the surface recombination effect. The smaller the value, the smaller the surface recombination effect. However, the main problem of this structure is that the surface of the device can no longer realize the longitudinal or lateral transmission of carriers, which is manifested as an almost infinite contact resistivity (ρ c ) and sheet resistance (R sq ), contact resistivity is a measure of the ability of carriers to transport in the longitudinal direction, and sheet resistance is a measure of the ability of carriers to transport in the lateral direction. Surface passivation contact structures achieve good passivation and carrier transport on the silicon surface through passivation contact technology, which can reduce recombination, resulting in a lower level of J0. This structure can also typically achieve both longitudinal and lateral carrier transport on the surface, demonstrating device-grade ρ c (0.0001~0.1Ω.cm 2 ) and R sq (10~1000Ω / sq).
[0004] However, to date, there is no structure that can achieve excellent passivation, longitudinal non-conduction, and good lateral transmission on the surface, which limits the development of some new silicon-based semiconductor devices with special applications, such as silicon-based optoelectronic devices with new photoelectric coupling characteristics. Summary of the Invention
[0005] The purpose of the present invention is to develop a surface composite film structure that can achieve excellent passivation, longitudinal non-conduction, and good lateral transmission on the surface of a silicon wafer to meet the needs of new silicon-based semiconductor physical devices.
[0006] To achieve the above objectives, the first aspect of the present invention provides a surface composite film structure that cuts off vertical transmission and conducts lateral transmission, comprising a nano-dielectric layer disposed on the surface of a silicon substrate, a silicide layer disposed on the nano-dielectric layer, and a polysilicon layer disposed on the silicide layer, wherein the material of the nano-dielectric layer is a hydrogenated silicon oxide film, the material of the silicide layer is a hydrogenated carbon nitride silicon film containing phosphorus or boron, and the material of the polysilicon layer is a phosphorus-doped or boron-doped polysilicon film.
[0007] The surface composite film structure of the present invention can achieve an excellent passivation effect, and has the characteristics of longitudinal non-conduction and lateral conduction, and the lateral square resistance is flexibly adjustable, meeting the performance requirements of new silicon-based semiconductor physical devices.
[0008] Furthermore, the refractive index of the silicide layer is 1.5 to 3.0, and the transmittance of the silicide layer above 400 nm is greater than 97%. The refractive index of the silicide layer can be controlled by adjusting the composition, and it has extremely low optical absorption characteristics.
[0009] Furthermore, the carbon concentration of the silicide layer is 1×10 21 cm -3 ~2×10 22 cm -3 , nitrogen concentration is 5×10 21 cm -3 ~4×10 22 cm -3 .
[0010] Furthermore, the phosphorus / boron concentration of the silicide layer is 1×10 19 cm -3 ~1×10 21 cm -3 The phosphorus / boron concentration of the silicide layer can be adjusted, thereby achieving control over the transport properties of the surface composite film structure.
[0011] Furthermore, the thickness of the nano-medium layer is 1 to 20 nm, and the thickness of the silicide layer is greater than 10 nm. The surface composite film structure can achieve controllable adjustment of optical absorption and transmission properties by adjusting parameters such as the refractive index and film thickness of the silicide layer and the polysilicon layer.
[0012] Furthermore, the hydrogen concentration of the nano-medium layer is 1×10 19 cm -3 ~1×10 22 cm -3, the hydrogen concentration of the silicide layer is 1×10 19 cm -3 ~1×10 22 cm -3 Each layer of the surface composite film structure has a high hydrogen concentration and good chemical stability, which can achieve excellent surface protection for silicon wafers.
[0013] Furthermore, the material of the polysilicon layer is a phosphorus-doped polysilicon film with an activation concentration range of 1×10 19 cm -3 ~1×10 21 cm -3 , or the material of the polysilicon layer is a boron-doped polysilicon film with an activation concentration range of 5×10 18 cm -3 ~5×10 20 cm -3 The sheet resistance of the composite film can be adjusted by adjusting the doping concentration of the polysilicon layer.
[0014] Furthermore, the silicon substrate contains hydrogen, carbon and nitrogen, and the concentration of each element gradually decreases from the surface to the body. The hydrogen concentration on the surface of the silicon substrate is 1×10 19 cm -3 ~1×10 21 cm -3 , the nitrogen concentration is 1×10 19 cm -3 ~1×10 22 cm -3 , the carbon concentration is 1×10 19 cm -3 ~1×10 22 cm -3 Carbon and nitrogen atoms can effectively capture hydrogen atoms and inject them into the substrate and interface to passivate more defect states; the introduction of elements such as carbon and nitrogen near the surface of the silicon wafer can improve the mechanical properties of the silicon wafer.
[0015] Furthermore, a hydrogen-rich dielectric layer is provided between the silicide layer and the polysilicon layer. The material of the hydrogen-rich dielectric layer is selected from one or more stacked films selected from hydrogenated aluminum oxide film, hydrogenated silicon nitride film, hydrogenated silicon oxynitride film, and hydrogenated silicon oxide film. Adding the hydrogen-rich dielectric layer can improve the passivation performance of the surface composite film structure.

[0021] S5, performing a high-temperature annealing process to diffuse carbon and nitrogen elements into the silicon substrate and transform the phosphorus- or boron-doped amorphous silicon film into a polycrystalline silicon film;
[0022] S6. Perform hydrogenation treatment.
[0023] The preparation method of the surface composite membrane structure of the present invention is fully compatible with existing battery production line technology and has good mass production application prospects. The surface composite membrane structure has good thermal stability, and its passivation quality is not affected by temperature within a temperature range not exceeding 500°C.
[0024] Furthermore, between steps S2 and S3, there is a step of depositing one or more stacked films of aluminum oxide, silicon nitride, silicon oxide, and silicon oxynitride.
[0025] A third aspect of the present invention provides a silicon-based semiconductor device comprising the aforementioned surface composite film structure that blocks vertical transmission and conducts lateral transmission. This surface composite film structure exhibits excellent surface passivation and possesses the characteristics of being non-conductive in the vertical direction and conductive in the lateral direction, thereby improving the performance of silicon-based semiconductor devices.
