Description

Poly-Si plating removal method and application in TopCon battery preparation
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of solar cells, and particularly relates to a poly-Si plating removal method and application thereof in TopCon cell preparation.
Background
The technology of a Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact (TopCon) battery is based on an N-type silicon substrate, the front surface adopts a laminated film passivation process, and the back surface adopts a Tunnel Oxide Passivated Contact structure based on ultrathin silicon Oxide and doped polysilicon (poly-Si), so that the selective passing performance of current carriers is effectively realized, the recombination rate of minority current carriers can be greatly reduced, and the high recombination problem caused by the Contact position of an electrode is avoided. TopCon cells thus have high open circuit voltages and fill factors.
However, a major problem encountered in the industrial production process of the high-efficiency cell with such a structure is that during the process of depositing polysilicon by using LPCVD or PECVD, the wrap-around plating cannot be avoided, and the removal of the poly-Si wrap-around plating on the front surface (emitter) caused during the growth of the poly-Si layer on the back surface needs to completely remove the polysilicon wrap-around plating layer on the textured side and isolate the edges to avoid edge leakage in the solar cell, because the wrap-around plated poly-Si layer is not uniform on the whole front surface, i.e., thin in the middle and thick at the edges. Incomplete cleaning of the polysilicon overplate results in cell electrical performance and yield problems such as poor appearance, poor passivation, parasitic absorption, reduced current density, high resistance causing FF reduction, increased dark current density of the cell resulting in leakage, and therefore complete removal of the polysilicon overplate is necessary.
In the industry, most enterprises remove the plating by a wet process, and the alkaline solution and the alkaline mixed solution of the additive and the acidic mixed solution of hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid are mixed; after the acid corrosive liquid is removed from the winding coating, the square resistance of the emitter on the front side of the battery is increased greatly, the PN junction depth and the boron-doped surface concentration are both obviously reduced, the control requirement on the preparation process of the battery metalized electrode is higher, and otherwise, the problem of poor electrode burning-through is easily caused; due to the instability of the acidic corrosive liquid, most enterprises select alkali corrosion to remove the plating, the improvement range of the sheet resistance of the resistor after the alkali corrosion is relatively small, the depth of a PN junction is reduced, the surface concentration change of a boron doped layer is relatively unobvious, the adjustment window of the preparation process of the battery metallized electrode is wide, and the production stability is easy to control; however, in the alkaline etching, a silicon wafer is soaked in an etching solution, and meanwhile, a polysilicon passivation layer is also corroded, over-polishing is easily caused, a phosphorus diffusion doping process is required to match, the process complexity is increased, the service life of the solution is short, the etching solution needs to be frequently replaced, the problem of low repeatability among batches is caused, and the equipment utilization rate is reduced, so that poly-Si at the center of the front surface is easy to remove in the cleaning (removing) process by using the mixed solution, and a poly-Si layer grown at the edge position is thick and is not easy to remove, so that poly-Si removal is an important reason for limiting industrial development. Meanwhile, the wet cleaning mode has the defects of higher facility overall COO, higher requirement on workshop cleanliness, increased sewage treatment cost, higher equipment failure rate and the like, and a new cleaning mode is urgently needed to be developed in large-scale battery manufacturing.

In a further embodiment, the predetermined temperature is in a range of 250-650 ℃.
In a further embodiment, the tubing pressure of the ventilation tubing is controlled at 1600-.
In a further embodiment, if the ventilation pipeline is divided into two paths, the two paths are respectively arranged in the furnace mouth and the furnace; if the ventilation pipeline is three paths, the ventilation pipeline is respectively arranged at a furnace mouth, a furnace and a furnace tail, and the control flow of each path is independently adjusted through an MFC.
By adopting the technical scheme, the characteristic of the difference of the reaction rates of fluorine atoms and silicon dioxide is utilized, the extremely high reaction selectivity difference of fluorine ions and polysilicon and a PSG layer (the layer is formed in phosphorus diffusion) is utilized, and the reaction rate of the fluorine ions and the polysilicon is 10-1000 times that of silicon oxide; the BSG layer (which is formed in the boron diffusion step) can be used as a perfectly stable etch stop for fluorine ion etching, using an etching gas of CF 4 、SF 6 、NF 3 And CHF 3 Or etching gas mixed with auxiliary gas O 3 、O 2 、N 2 And removing the silicon wafer with poly-si by using the combination of O and the like as dry etching gas.
The process only depends on the activation energy of fluorine ions directly on the surface of the silicon wafer, and the activation energy of the fluorine ions can be improved by increasing the reaction temperature, increasing the flow of fluoride and increasing the radio frequency power, which is beneficial to the reaction of the fluorine ions and the polycrystalline silicon deposited on the silicon substrate around a coating layer.
The polycrystalline silicon surrounding coating comprises small single crystal grains separated by thin grain boundaries consisting of extremely thin amorphous layers, and fluorine ions formed after plasma excitation preferentially etch places with unstable chemical properties such as surface defects, grain boundaries and the like.

According to the matching of different processes, the etching rate of the polycrystalline silicon around the coating can reach 1-3um/min, and the reaction rate is further increased under higher fluoride flow and concentration; in contrast, the etching rate of the alkaline etching solution is in the range of 0.2-0.3um/min and the etching rate of the acidic etching solution is in the range of 0.1-0.2um/min, so that the dry etching and plating method can be seen to greatly shorten the process time and save the production cost, the BSG layer provides a wide process window for fluorine ion etching of the polysilicon and ensures that the polysilicon is thoroughly cleaned of the plating layer, and the corrosion condition of the BSG layer is not observed even if the fluorine ion concentration is increased.

Preferably, hydrofluoric acid in hydrofluoric acid solution: the volume ratio of water is controlled to be 1:3-1:10, and the contact time is adjusted according to the length of the tank body on site and the requirement on the rotating speed of the roller. The preservation of the BSG layer provides a wide process window for the subsequent dry stripping plating process because the BSG layer acts as an excellent barrier against fluorine ions during the fluorine ion stripping plating process and is an etch stop layer.
In a further embodiment, the thickness of the tunneling oxide layer is 1-2 nm, and the thickness of the polysilicon cladding layer is 90-130 nm;

The conventional wet process immersion type removal of the winding plating layer can also corrode the polysilicon passivation layer while removing the winding plating layer by the corrosive solution due to the instability of the corrosive solution, so that the sheet resistance is improved, the doping surface concentration is reduced, and the over-polishing is easy to generate.
According to the invention, the BSG layer is used as a mask layer, so that the poly-si winding coating is on the BSG layer, and the poly-si on the winding coating and the isolation edge is removed by utilizing the characteristic of reaction rate difference of fluorine atoms and silicon dioxide in a dry method mode of PECVD (plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition), so that the problem of removing the poly-si winding coating is effectively solved, and the doped polycrystalline silicon passivation layer is hardly influenced.
