Background technology
Solar energy power generating refers to the generation technology utilizing photovoltaic effect to be electric energy by light energy conversion, and the energy of sunlight is inexhaustible, nexhaustible, is the most important energy realizing Sustainable development.Particularly the thin-film solar cells of the s-generation relies on a series of advantage such as less energy consumption, environmental protection to become research and development focus in recent years especially.
The structure of thin-film solar cells has generally comprised substrate, transparency electrode, p-type doped silicon film, i layer (silicon film of undoped or intrinsic), N-shaped doped silicon film, back electrode and protecting sheet.Wherein p-type doped silicon film, i layer (silicon film of undoped or intrinsic) and N-shaped doped silicon film form a photovoltaic element.Sunlight is through transparency electrode, and incident light electric unit, makes light energy conversion be electric energy according to photovoltaic effect.In prior art, thin-film solar cells can also comprise the photovoltaic element of two or more superposition usually.And the deposition quality of p-type doped silicon film, i layer (silicon film of undoped or intrinsic), N-shaped doped silicon film directly has influence on the photoelectric transformation efficiency of thin-film solar cell panel.
Wherein, plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PlasmaEnhancedChemicalVaporDeposition, PECVD) method is one of method of each layer silicon film in the most frequently used deposition photovoltaic element.Compared to the high temperature process conditions being greater than 900 DEG C in conventional chemical vapor deposition (ChemicalVaporDeposition, CVD) method, PECVD method makes the ionization of gas containing film composed atom by the means such as microwave or radio frequency, forms plasma body.Plasma chemistry activity is very strong, is easy to chemical reaction occurs, thus can going out desired film lower than during 350 DEG C of temperature at substrate deposition.
Usually, the transmission cavity that the vacuum flush system making thin-film solar cells comprises PECVD treating chamber and is connected with PECVD treating chamber, described transmission cavity is used for being imported into by substrate or spreading out of PECVD treating chamber.In film deposition process, there is strict demand for pressure in PECVD treating chamber, as too small pressure directly can reduce the specific refractory power of the sedimentation rate of film and the film of preparation, thus affect the quality of film.Thus need to arrange seal valve between PECVD treating chamber and transmission cavity, guarantee that thin film deposition processes is carried out under being in the condition of sealing.
And in order to improve PECVD thin film deposition efficiency further, as the notification number Chinese patent that is CN201704403U and the patent No., for the PECVD treating chamber 1 in the PECVD system disclosed in the United States Patent (USP) of US5515986 includes, multiple reaction sub-chamber 2(combines with reference to as Fig. 1 and Fig. 2), thus PECVD thin film deposition processes is carried out to polylith substrate simultaneously.In view of in thin-film solar cell panel preparation technology, solar cell plate bulk is comparatively large, and the surface-area of some substrate reaches 1m
2above, length and width are all at more than 1m, and each reaction sub-chamber 2 opening is longer; And have between each reaction sub-chamber 2 and described PECVD treating chamber 1 in film deposition process larger pressure difference, each react pressure in sub-chamber 2 also different and described PECVD treating chamber 1 limit by inner volume, be thus difficult to adopt in single seal valve guarantee thin film deposition processes that each reacts the stopping property of sub-chamber 2.
Thus, in prior art, general employing installs independently seal valve at described multiple reaction sub-chamber 2 opening part, thus in film deposition process, realizes vacuum condition relatively independent in each reaction sub-chamber 2.And for the ease of the open and close of each reaction sub-chamber 2, in technical scheme disclosed in the United States Patent (USP) of patent No. US5515986, seal valve assembly include polylith and each react sealing plate that sub-chamber 2 structure matches and control sealing plate transmission rig, the sealing plate of each reaction sub-chamber 2 opening is fixedly connected with along the orientation of reaction sub-chamber 2, and realizes the vertical and parallel direction of each sealing plate relative response sub-chamber 2 opening by a transmission rig and move.In use procedure, after regulating each sealing plate and reaction sub-chamber opening to same level position, regulate the spacing of each sealing plate and reaction sub-chamber opening, described in involution, react sub-chamber's opening.This sealing plate linkage structure effectively can improve that each reaction sub-chamber 2 opens, leakage efficiency.
But in moving process, each piece of sealing plate displacement restricts mutually, each sealing plate vertical identical with parallel direction displacement, and must respectively react sub-chamber's stopping property to each sealing plate relative to the reaction sub-chamber enough large power guarantee of opening applying; And there is larger pressure difference in view of seal valve 3 both sides in PECVD film deposition process (transmission cavity and respectively react between sub-chamber 2), the substrate film quality obtained to pecvd process detrimentally affect can not be produced in order to ensure pressure release between transmission cavity, after thin film deposition processes terminates, strictly must control pressure in each reaction sub-chamber and discharge gently.Thus transmission mechanism for sealing plate mobile control loaded down with trivial details, difficulty is high, and has strict demand for the position of each sealing plate and reaction sub-chamber opening, structure.Even if the not so position deviation of plate sealing together, all can cause remaining reaction sub-chamber 2 opening sealing effectiveness flaw, and the defects such as each reaction sub-chamber 2 pressure release cannot be controlled very well, and affecting thin film deposition effect, these all increase each sealing plate of PECVD system and reaction sub-chamber 2 manufactures and maintenance difficulties.Especially in thin-film solar cell panel preparation technology, how opening for each reaction sub-chamber head makes substrate in film deposition process, ensure the stopping property of each reaction sub-chamber, and after thin film deposition processes terminates, ensure that in each reaction sub-chamber, pressure discharges gently, and the smooth degree that raising substrate transmits between PECVD transmission cavity and each reaction sub-chamber, be a puzzlement those skilled in the art's difficult problem always.
