Pond, for example, being the solar cell for using the boron doped areas of Cz to be prepared for 156mm × 156mm p-type silicon chip, i.e. p-type semiconductor
Layer 122 is used as silicon substrate.But can also be other kinds of solar cell, such as n-type back of the body passivation cell.
Front passivation layer 110 can be SiN prepared by PECVDxStack membrane, backside passivation layer 130 can be SiO2/SiNx
Stack membrane.The main function of passivation layer 110,130 is to reduce the recombination rate of photo-generated carrier, to improve photoelectric transformation efficiency.It is blunt
Change and be respectively equipped with front electrode 111 and backplate 131 on layer 110 and 130.Usually, using silk-screen printing respectively in battery
Front and back type metal slurry, in high-temperature sintering process, slurry chemically reacts with passivation layer, Etch Passivation
And good Ohmic contact is formed with silicon, form front electrode and backplate.
As shown in figure 1, in boron doped region 122, displacement boron atom 140 and the formation of interstitial impurity 150 complex centre, this
The capture cross-section and density in a little complex centres determine recombination current density and remaining load in the body of crystal silicon solar energy battery 100
The useful life of son is flowed, the conversion efficiency of crystal silicon solar energy battery 100 is constrained.Further, since the processing technology of passivation layer,
Hydrogen can be contained in passivation layer 110,130, as shown in Figure 1.
Fig. 2 is to show the method 200 that body is passivated crystal silicon solar energy battery that is used for according to an aspect of the present invention
Flow chart.As shown in Fig. 2 method 200 may include:
Step 202:Hydrogen is provided for boron doped region.

Ground, the main material of hydrogeneous passivation layer is in hydrogeneous silicon nitride, aluminum oxide, non-crystalline silicon, silica, carborundum, titanium oxide
It is one or more.Correspondingly, the source of hydrogen can be the hydrogen in passivation layer 110,130 in the step.As shown in figure 1, in passivation
The intersection of layer 110,130 and semiconductor structure 120 contains the hydrogen ion 160a of many positively chargeds.
More preferably, in order to there is more fully hydrogen, solar cell 100 can also be placed in hydrogeneous atmosphere.This is hydrogeneous
Atmosphere can be pure hydrogen, or air.In another example, the hydrogeneous atmosphere can be the mixing of hydrogen and nitrogen
The flow-rate ratio of gas, such as hydrogen and nitrogen is 1:4 atmosphere.
Step 204:Light injection is carried out to crystal silicon solar energy battery at the first temperature up to the first scheduled time slot.
In this step, temperature field is applied to solar cell 100, so that the temperature of solar cell 100 reaches first
Temperature, such as higher than 230 DEG C, more preferably, higher than 270 DEG C.At the same time, solar cell 100 is made to expose under light illumination to it
Light injection is carried out, for example, can make implantation concentration more than 2 × 1015cm-3, more preferably more than 3 × 1015cm-3, implantation concentration here
Refer to due to the concentration for the photo-generated carrier that light injects and produces.
Fig. 3 is the schematic diagram for showing the crystal silicon solar energy battery generation photo-generated carrier under illumination condition.It is exposed to
Under illumination condition, light injection process causes the generation of photo-generated carrier, including hole 171 and electronics 172.Under electric field action,
The direction of backplate 131 from hole 171 to p-type semiconductor side move, front electrode from electronics 172 to n-type semiconductor side
Move in 111 directions.

Hydrogen atom 160b or negatively charged hydrogen ion 160c, as shown in Figure 4.As it was previously stated, hydrogen ion 160a source can be
From passivation layer 111,130, such as the hydrogen of the positively charged at the interface of passivation layer 111,130 and semiconductor structure 120 from
With electronics 172 electron exchange can occur for sub- 160a., can also be by solar energy in order to ensure there is enough hydrogen in preferred embodiment
Battery 100 is placed in hydrogeneous atmosphere, therefore, the hydrogen at semiconductor structure 120 with extraneous interface also by with electronics
172 charge-exchange turns into electroneutral hydrogen atom 160b or electronegative hydrogen ion 160c.
Neutral hydrogen atom 160b and negatively charged hydrogen ion 160c can obtain enough energy in temperature field, be formed
Free hydrogen atom 160b and free ion 160c.Hydrogen atom 160b and hydride ion 160c have one in motion process
Determine probability and electronics or charge-exchange occur again for hole, change band point property, and with displacement boron 140 and interstitial impurity
It is compound to colliding that atom 150 is formed.By collision, hydrogen ion 160c will replace interstitial impurity atom 150, with displacement boron
140 form new covalent bond 180a, or form new covalent bond 180b with interstitial impurity atom 150.
The process can last about 5s~60s time, to cause free hydrogen atom 160b and free ion 160c
Fully more covalent bond 180a and 180b can be formed with displacement boron 140 and interstitial impurity atom 150.
Step 206:Light is carried out to crystal silicon solar energy battery at the second temperature to inject up to the second scheduled time slot, wherein the
Two temperature are less than the first temperature.
After high-temperature field is applied, low temperature field is applied to solar cell 100, that is, applies second temperature, such as less than 200
DEG C, more preferably less than 180 DEG C.In the process, keep carrying out solar cell 100 light injection, such as light implantation concentration is 1
×1015cm-3.At the lower temperature, the covalent bond 180 newly formed is cured in cell body area, reaches the effect of body passivation,
As shown in Figure 4.This chilling process can last about 1s~30s time.
In one example, above-mentioned steps 204,206 are repeated.The temperature field and lasting light injection repeated make more next
More hydrogen moves to boron doped region 122 from front passivation layer 110 and backside passivation layer 130, carries out body passivation, temperature field
Changed with time as shown in Figure 5 with implantation concentration.Hydrogen in atmosphere is from semiconductor structure 120 with entering at extraneous interface
Row supplement, it is ensured that have enough hydrogen in body passivation.The rate temperature change switched between high temperature and low temperature can higher than 20 DEG C/
s。
After the body passivation technology of such as 30 minutes is carried out, solar batteries increase to 662mV from 660mV, electricity
Pond efficiency increases to 20.2% from 20%, and battery efficiency, which reaches, to be obviously improved.
