Embodiment
Below in conjunction with accompanying drawing detailed the present invention is described, comprise the present invention based on know-why, and typical embodiment.
The application's proposed invention can comprise following aspect:
1. image obtains
According to the present invention, can obtain electroluminescence (EL) or photoluminescence (PL) image of polycrystalline battery, the two image is similar.Fig. 1 (a) example has provided the electroluminescence image.The position of image is dark to can be 16 or higher.
2. image is handled
Handling according to image of the present invention mainly is the information extraction of permanent defects in the EL/PL image.PL or EL image all are the results of radiation recombination, thus its pixel brightness should be proportional to excess carriers Δ n and background doping level (p
0Or n
0).Under the certain situation of implantation concentration, Δ n is relevant with the minority carrier life time of pixel position.Some crystal structure defects yardstick in the polycrystalline is little, compound ability is strong, thereby can bring the sudden change of Δ n on space scale, thereby corresponding sudden change takes place in pixel brightness meeting.And background doping level is caused by the fractional condensation of casting ingot process and the diffusion of battery process, and the characteristics of these two kinds of technologies all determine it can not cause EL(PL) sudden change of brightness, and only can bring brightness disproportionation in large scale.Embodiments of the invention example ground adopts 50 * 50 maximal value filtering, and after subtracting each other with original image, (this step is optional through linear conversion again, linear change is intended to transfer luminance difference to minority carrier life time based on the calibration value of hypothesis) and remove the grid line part with mask, obtain minority carrier life time image (seeing Fig. 1 b), and calculate its average minority carrier lifetime, obtain minority carrier life time parameter L T.The form of maximal value filtering is as follows:
β
I, j=M
I, j-max (R
I, j) (formula 1)
In the above-mentioned formula 1, M
I, jRepresent pixel current to be investigated (i, brightness j), max (R
I, j) the current maximal value of waiting to investigate in the neighborhood of pixels of expression, Β
I, jThe difference of representing the two.
By above-mentioned processing, go out to extract minority carrier life time parameter L T from the EL/PL image, it can be used as the quantization parameter of silicon chip quality.
Supplementary notes: the brightness value on the minority carrier life time image is proportional to minority carrier life time in principle.This method is investigated the relative value that brightness departs from, and therefore needn't demarcate the specifically concrete ratio of the two, directly characterizes minority carrier life time with brightness value and gets final product.
3. standard cell built-in testing and typical curve obtain
According to the present invention, can choose a group system and select polysilicon chip, 50-100 sheet for example, these standard films have different quality grades.Choosing method can be uniformly-spaced to choose after a plurality of silicon rod sections, and is representative to guarantee the silicon chip quality.Silicon chip is once dropped into a certain stabilization process make the battery sheet.Test the V of each sheet battery
OcWith the EL image, and calculate its minority carrier life time parameter L T with the method for step 2.V with correspondence
OcPlot scatter diagram with LT, can get once relation as shown in Figure 2, simulate its analytic expression by once concerning

According to the present invention, the battery of desirable unknown technology and film source is a collection of, measures the V of battery
Oc1, and according to EL(PL) image calculation minority carrier life time parameter L T1.Calculate the mean value of LT1, this mean value substitution formula 2 is calculated V
Oc0, make α=V
Oc0-V
Oc1, then α is caused V by surveying between battery sheet and the standard cell sheet because of technology
OcDifference.Monitor the size of α, can estimate the stability of technology.For example, when the size of α surpasses a threshold value, can think that then unknown technology to be evaluated compared than large deviation with standard technology.
As mentioned above, minority carrier life time parameter L T itself can represent the silicon chip quality, therefore, can judge the quality of silicon chip quality by monitoring parameter LT.Also the LT difference △ LT substitution formula 2 of (between silicon slice under test and benchmark silicon chip) between two kinds of film sources can be obtained and amounted to out pressure difference △ V between film source
