Description
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of battery manufacturing, and particularly relates to a sizing agent for screen printing electrochemical etching, and a preparation method and application thereof.
Background
The solar cell is a clean and environment-friendly energy technology, and the crystalline silicon solar cell technology has been rapidly developed for decades. Passivation emission junction and back battery (PERC) technology is a novel battery technology with low cost and high efficiency, and the excellent back surface passivation effect of the novel battery technology can greatly reduce the back surface recombination of the battery, so that the photoelectric conversion efficiency of the battery is improved, and the current p-type PERC technology has been industrialized.
The electrochemical screen printing technology is one development direction of screen printing in the industries of microelectronics, photovoltaics and the like, and effectively combines the electrochemistry of the screen printing machine, and selectively carries out electrochemical reaction on a device substrate. As an application direction of the technology, the screen printing electrochemical etching technology can effectively realize patterned selective etching on the surface of a conductor/semiconductor, and has higher research and application values. In the photovoltaic cell aspect, a silicon substrate is often required to be selectively etched to meet the preparation requirement of the cell, for example, the silicon substrate with a p-n junction silicon wafer after diffusion is etched to remove partial areas, so as to realize selective doping and the like. The existing etching method generally adopts a solution method to etch the silicon wafer, and the solution method is only used for etching the whole surface of the silicon wafer, so that the selectivity is difficult to realize.
CN106328765a discloses a process and method for preparing a high-efficiency PERC crystalline silicon solar cell. Sequentially comprises the steps of texturing, diffusion and etching, and is plated with Al 2 O 3 Back side SiN plating x Plating of front SiN x And (3) screen printing and sintering to obtain the PERC crystalline silicon solar cell.
CN107123702a discloses a method for preparing a back-side polished PERC battery, comprising the following steps: (1) depositing a single-sided protection film on the back surface of a silicon wafer; (2) Texturing the silicon wafer plated with the single-sided protection film, and removing the single-sided protection film on the silicon wafer in the pickling process after texturing; (3) diffusing the silicon wafer with the single-sided texturing; (4) performing conventional secondary cleaning; (5) And depositing an alumina/silicon nitride laminated passivation film on the back surface, then grooving by laser, and performing screen printing and sintering to obtain the back surface polished PERC battery.
However, although the screen printing technique is used in the above-described scheme, selective etching cannot be achieved.
Therefore, development of a paste for screen printing electrochemical etching which can perform selective etching in one step and is suitable for screen printing is an important point of current research in the art.
Disclosure of Invention
Aiming at the defects of the prior art, the invention aims to provide a sizing agent for screen printing electrochemical etching, a preparation method and application thereof, wherein the sizing agent can be used for screen printing electrochemical etching technology, so that selective etching is completed in one step.
To achieve the purpose, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
in a first aspect, the present invention provides a paste for screen printing electrochemical etching, which comprises, in mass percent: 0.35-15% of ammonium fluoride, 0.05-5% of hydrogen fluoride, 0.1-10% of thickener and the balance of solvent.
In the invention, ammonium fluoride, hydrogen fluoride, a thickening agent and a solvent in the slurry are matched with each other, so that the slurry can be used for a screen printing electrochemical etching technology, and selective etching is completed in one step; wherein, the ammonium fluoride and the hydrogen fluoride provide necessary electrochemical oxidation-reduction reaction ions, and the electrode is used as a cathode to perform reduction reaction during etching so as to reduce the hydrogen ions into hydrogen; the silicon substrate is used as an anode, oxidation reaction is carried out, silicon is oxidized into silicon ions, the silicon ions are combined with the fluorine ions to generate fluorosilicate, and the fluorosilicate is dissolved in the slurry, so that the silicon substrate is partially etched, and the thickener can well adjust the state of the slurry, so that the silicon substrate is more suitable for screen printing electrochemical etching.
The ammonium fluoride content is 0.35 to 15%, for example, 0.35%, 0.5%, 0.8%, 1%, 1.2%, 1.5%, 1.8%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 5%, 6%, 7%, 8%, 9%, 10%, 11%, 12%, 13%, 14%, 15%, etc., based on 100% of the slurry content.
The hydrogen fluoride content is 0.05 to 5%, for example, 0.05%, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 1%, 1.5%, 2%, 2.5%, 3%, 3.5%, 4%, 4.5%, 5%, etc., based on 100% of the slurry content.
The thickener content is 0.1 to 10%, for example, 0.1%, 0.2%, 0.4%, 0.6%, 0.8%, 1%, 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, 10%, etc., based on 100% of the slurry content.
Preferably, the paste for screen printing electrochemical etching comprises the following components in percentage by mass: 2-4% of ammonium fluoride, 1-2% of hydrogen fluoride, 2-4% of thickener and the balance of solvent.
