Description

Ink composition for solar cell and solar cell manufacturing method using same {INK COMPOSITION FOR USE IN MANUFACTURING OF SOLAR CELL AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SOLAR CELL USING THE SAME}

The present invention relates to a solar cell ink composition capable of forming a pattern on a silicon substrate having surface irregularities, an etching mask formed using the same, and a solar cell manufacturing method using the same.

Recently, as the prediction of depletion of existing energy sources such as oil and coal is increasing, interest in alternative energy to replace them is increasing. Among them, solar cells are particularly attracting attention because they are rich in energy resources and have no problems with environmental pollution.

Solar cells include solar cells that generate steam for rotating turbines using solar heat, and solar cells that convert photons into electrical energy using the properties of semiconductors. Refers to photovoltaic cells (hereinafter referred to as "solar cells").

Open voltage behavior, one of three factors that determine the conversion efficiency of solar cells, is closely related to the doping concentration of n-type impurities when the emitter layer is formed by diffusing n-type impurities on the surface of a p-type silicon semiconductor substrate.

In the past, the dopant was excessively doped in forming the emitter layer to increase the open voltage of the solar cell. In this case, the top layer of the emitter layer (hereinafter referred to as the 'dead layer') causes the concentration of the doped n-type impurity to increase beyond the solid solubility in the silicon semiconductor. The dead layer has a thickness of about 50 ~ 200nm. As a result, there is a problem that the mobility of the carrier is reduced near the emitter layer surface and the scattering effect with excessive impurities increases the recombination rate of the carrier and the lifetime of the carrier is also reduced.

In order to solve the above problems, the emitter layer is formed by a diffusion process of excessively doping impurities, and then a dead layer that adversely affects the performance of the solar cell by wet etching using a mixture of nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid or CF 4 plasma etching. An emitter etch-back process to remove has been proposed.

However, the mixture of nitric acid and hydrofluoric acid or CF 4 plasma has disadvantages in that the etching selectivity of the region doped with the n-type impurity is not excellent and the etching rate is high. Therefore, the conventional emitter etch-back process has a limitation of poor process reproducibility and stability in selectively removing only the surface of the emitter layer which is heavily doped with n-type impurities.

There is a selective emitter process as a prior art to overcome the disadvantages of such an emitter etch-back process. In the selective emitter process, after the emitter etch-back process, the front electrode is formed by forming a mask pattern exposing only the point where the front electrode is to be formed and further diffusing n-type impurities on the surface of the emitter layer exposed by the mask pattern. It is a process of forming an emitter layer doped with a high concentration of n-type impurities only at the point to be formed.

However, since the selective emitter process requires the addition of a pre-etching process and an additional impurity diffusion process for forming a mask pattern, the manufacturing process of the solar cell is complicated and the solar cell manufacturing cost increases.

Therefore, there is a need to form a non-contact inkjet printing method for forming an etch mask pattern for solar cell manufacturing in order to simplify the manufacturing process of the solar cell and reduce the manufacturing cost.

However, in the case of the inkjet method, the conventional ink composition has a problem in that fluidity is large and ink flows in a silicon substrate having surface irregularities such as a solar cell, thereby making it difficult to form a pattern. Therefore, there is an urgent need to develop an ink composition which can be patterned even on a silicon substrate having surface irregularities.

The present invention is to solve the above problems, to provide an ink composition capable of forming a pattern on a silicon substrate having surface irregularities.

In addition, by using the inkjet ink method in the selective emitter layer forming process, it is to increase the stability in the solar cell manufacturing method, to improve the productivity by simplifying the production process and cost reduction.

To this end, the present invention is a) 15 parts by weight to 35 parts by weight of alkali-soluble resin, b) 5 parts by weight to 30 parts by weight of the melamine compound, c) 0.01 parts by weight to 1.0 parts by weight of fluorine-based surfactant and d) 50 parts by weight of organic solvent It provides a solar cell ink composition comprising from about 70 parts by weight.

In another aspect, the present invention includes forming an etching mask pattern using the ink composition, selectively etching an emitter layer using the etching mask pattern as a mask, and removing the etching mask pattern. It provides a battery manufacturing method.

Since the ink composition of the present invention can be formed on the silicon substrate having the surface irregularities and can be used in the solar cell manufacturing process, the ink composition can simplify the solar cell manufacturing process and provide high economical efficiency.

In addition, the solar cell manufacturing method of the present invention, by manufacturing the solar cell using the inkjet ink method, to provide a process reproducibility and high stability in the process of forming the selective emitter layer, and to significantly improve the productivity by simplifying the manufacturing process There are advantages to it.

The ink composition for a solar cell capable of forming a pattern on a silicon substrate having surface irregularities of the present invention is characterized by including a) an alkali-soluble resin, b) a melamine compound, c) a fluorine-based surfactant, and d) an organic solvent.

The a) alkali-soluble resin may be a phenol resin, an acrylic resin, hydroxycitrene, polyvinylphenol, or polyimide resin as a matrix resin forming an etching mask pattern.

In particular, in the ink composition of the present invention, the alkali-soluble resin may be a phenol resin, preferably a novolak resin.

Here, the novolak resin is to increase the viscosity of the ink composition to reduce the spreading of the ink on the silicon substrate having surface irregularities, and serves to increase the durability of the pattern formed by combining with the melamine compound by heat, phenols and aldehydes It can synthesize | combine by 1 type or 2 or more types in a condensation reaction.

In addition, the phenols are phenol, 4-t-butylphenol, 4-t-octylphenol, 2-ethylphenol, 3-ethylphenol, 4-ethylphenol, o-cresol, m-cresol, p-cresol, 2, 5-Xylenol, 3,4-Xylenol, 3,5-Xylenol, 2,3,5-trimethylphenol, 3-methyl-6-t-butylphenol, 2-naphthol, 1,3-dihydroxy It may be selected from the group consisting of naphthalene, bisphenol-A, the aldehydes may be selected from the group consisting of formaldehyde, paraformaldehyde, acetoaldehyde, benzaldehyde, phenylaldehyde.

Further, the condensation reaction is an organic acid consisting of oxalic acid, p-toluenesulfonic acid, trichloroacetic acid; Inorganic acids consisting of sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid; At least one selected from metal salts consisting of zinc chloride, aluminum chloride, magnesium acetate, and zinc acetate can be used as a catalyst.

On the other hand, the weight average molecular weight of the novolak resin may be 500 to 7000, preferably 500 to 5000, more preferably 500 to 3000. When the weight average molecular weight satisfies the above numerical range, no deformation or dropping of the pattern occurs during the acid treatment, and the viscosity has a viscosity suitable for use as an ink jet ink composition.

In the ink composition according to the present invention, the a) alkali-soluble resin preferably has 15 to 35 parts by weight, preferably 20 to 30 parts by weight based on the total weight of the ink composition. When the content of the a) alkali-soluble resin satisfies the numerical range, it is easy to remove the pattern by the stripper, and the viscosity of the ink composition may be increased, thereby preventing the problem of difficulty of ejecting ink in an inkjet method. have.

Next, the b) melamine compound can be used without limitation to improve the durability of the film formed by crosslinking by reaction with an alkali-soluble resin and to lower the viscosity of the ink composition, but preferably It is represented by 1.

Figure pat00001

Wherein, R 1, R 2, R 3, R 4, R 5 and R 6 are each independently hydrogen, an alkyl group of C 1 -6, C 1 -6 alkoxy group, a carboxyl group, C 1 -6 of the ether group , is a C 1 -6 alcohol group, an amino group, a nitro group, a hydroxyl group, a phenyl group or an acryl group.

In this case, R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5, and R 6 of Formula 1 may have a substituent other than at least one hydrogen, preferably R 1 , R 2 , of Formula 1 R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 may have a substituent other than at least two or more hydrogen, more preferably R 1 , R 2 , R 3 , R 4 , R 5 and R 6 of Formula 1 May have a substituent other than at least three hydrogen.

In particular, in the ink composition according to the present invention, the b) melamine compound may be used without limitation as long as it is commonly used in the art as commercialized, for example, it may be hexamethoxymethylmelamine.

On the other hand, b) the melamine compound may include 5 parts by weight to 30 parts by weight, preferably 10 parts by weight to 20 parts by weight based on the total weight of the ink composition. When the content of the b) melamine compound satisfies the numerical range, the viscosity is not high, and thus, the ink is easily ejected by the inkjet method, the pattern is easily formed, and the etching mask is easily removed.

Furthermore, since the viscosity of the b) melamine compound is lower than that of the binder or a commonly used crosslinking agent, the viscosity of the melamine compound is relatively low when added to the ink. Therefore, when the melamine compound is added to the ink instead of the binder or the crosslinking agent, there is a margin in the viscosity, thereby increasing the solid content by about 1% to 5%.

In addition, if the solid content of the same content, it is possible to increase the content of the melamine compound to lower the head heating temperature when the ink is ejected to the inkjet equipment. As a result, the ink can be discharged at a low temperature, thereby solving the problem of no ejection of ink due to the nozzle drying caused by the high head heating temperature.

Next, the c) fluorine-based surfactant is to control the spreadability of the ink, it is preferable that the excellent defoaming characteristics because the poor discharge occurs when bubbles generated during the ink injection to the inkjet equipment is not easily removed.

In particular, in the ink composition of the present invention, the c) fluorine-based surfactant may include polyethylene glycol and perfluorocarbon. When using a surfactant containing polyethylene glycol and perfluorocarbon, the spreadability of the ink is easily controlled, and the ink does not flow easily, so that the pattern is easily formed on the silicon substrate having surface irregularities. There is this.

In addition, the c) fluorine-based surfactant may include 0.01 parts by weight to 1.00 parts by weight, preferably 0.01 parts by weight to 0.50 parts by weight, more preferably 0.03 parts by weight to 0.10 parts by weight based on the ink composition. When the content of the fluorine-based surfactant satisfies the numerical range, the pattern may be formed reproducibly, and the storage stability of the ink is excellent.

Next, the d) organic solvent may be a boiling point of 140 ℃ to 250 ℃. When the boiling point of the organic solvent satisfies the numerical range, the solvent may be easily dried after the pattern is formed and ink may be easily discharged by using an inkjet method by slowing down the drying speed of the nozzle surface.

Here, the d) organic solvent is diethylene glycol methyl butyl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether, diethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate, diethylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, diethylene glycol monoethyl Ether acetate, dipropylene glycol methyl ether acetate, methoxy ethanol, butoxy ethyl acetate, butoxy propanol, butyl lactate, ethoxy ethanol, ethoxy ethyl acetate, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether, ethylene glycol monobutyl ether acetate, ethyl Ethoxy propionate, propylene glycol methyl ether acetate, propylene glycol monoethyl ether and propylene glycol butyl ether may be one or two or more selected from the group consisting of, but is not limited thereto.

At this time, the d) the organic solvent may include 50 parts by weight to 70 parts by weight, 55 parts by weight to 65 parts by weight or 55 parts by weight to 60 parts by weight based on the total weight of the ink composition. When the content of the organic solvent satisfies the numerical range, the viscosity is not high and ink is easily ejected from the inkjet head.

Optionally, the ink composition according to the present invention may further include an adhesion promoter in order to improve the adhesion property with the silicon substrate. When the adhesive properties with the silicon substrate is insufficient as described above, there is a problem in that the dropout of the pattern is caused by the acid solution used for the selective etching of the emitter layer of the solar cell manufacturing method to be described later to prevent this.

Herein, the adhesion promoter may be used without limitation, those well known in the art, and those having a substituent that generates a silanol group by hydrolysis, or those having a methoxy silyl group or an ethoxy silyl group in the molecule may be used. . For example, vinyltrimethoxysilane, vinyltriethoxysilane, glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane, glycidoxypropyltriethoxysilane, methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane, methacryloxypropyltriethoxy It may be one or more selected from the group consisting of silanes, but is not limited thereto.

In the ink composition according to the present invention, the viscosity may be 10 cP to 100 cP or 30 cP to 80 cP. When the viscosity of the ink composition satisfies the above numerical range at room temperature, it is easy to discharge ink on the nozzle face of the head and stable ink discharge is possible. In addition, since it is easy to reach a suitable viscosity value by applying a temperature to the head there is an advantage that the line pattern formation is easy.

In the ink composition according to the present invention, the solids content of the ink composition may be 25% to 45%. When the solids content in the ink composition of the present invention satisfies the above numerical range, the thickness of the final mask is not thin after the pattern is dried, so that the surface irregularities of the silicon substrate may be completely covered, and ink ejection may be easily performed by an inkjet method. have. 3 is a photograph of a cross section measured by an electron scanning microscope after etching mask pattern formation. Referring to FIG. 3, when the solid content is used to form a pattern using the ink composition according to the present invention, which satisfies the numerical range, it can be seen that the pattern is completely covered by covering the unevenness of the surface of the silicon substrate.

When using the ink composition according to the present invention as described above, since the pattern can be formed on the silicon substrate for solar cells having surface irregularities when manufacturing the solar cell, it can be used as an etching mask for forming the selective emitter layer.

Etch mask for solar cells formed using the ink composition according to the present invention as described above, has excellent performance to withstand etching in the process for forming a selective emitter, easy to remove from alkaline solution reproducibility and stability when manufacturing solar cells There is an advantage that can provide.

In the solar cell manufacturing method according to the present invention, forming an etching mask pattern using the ink composition according to the present invention, selectively etching the emitter layer using the etching mask pattern as a mask and the etching mask pattern Characterized in that it comprises a step of removing.

Forming the etch mask pattern may be performed by applying the ink composition and a heat treatment step.

In this case, the applying of the ink composition may be performed by a method well known in the art, but is not limited thereto. For example, the ink composition may be performed by a gravure offset, inkjet or silk screen method.

In particular, in the solar cell manufacturing method according to the present invention, the coating of the ink composition for forming the etching mask pattern may be performed by an inkjet printing method. In the case of using the inkjet printing method as described above, since the mask pattern can be formed in a non-contact manner, the manufacturing process can be simplified and the stability can be improved.

In addition, the heat treatment step may be carried out at 150 ℃ to 200 ℃, 10 minutes to 30 minutes. When the heat treatment temperature and time satisfies the numerical range, acid resistance is improved, and there is an advantage in that the pattern is not dropped and separated by an acid solution which can be used in the selective etching step of the emitter layer, which will be described later. In addition, there is an advantage that it can be easily removed in the stripper even in the step of removing the etching mask pattern to be described later.

Next, the step of selectively etching the emitter layer may be performed by a wet or dry etching method, preferably by a wet etching method.

Here, the wet etching method may be performed with an acid solution selected from the group consisting of HF, HNO 3 , CH 3 COOH, and water, but is not limited thereto. At this time, the content of each component in the solution is HF: HNO 3 The ratio of water may be mixed in a volume ratio of 1: 10 to 100: 10 to 50.

Next, the step of removing the etching mask pattern may be performed by applying a stripper well known in the art, for example, monoethanolamine, methylethanolamine, aminoisopropanol, aminopropanol, aminoethoxyethanol, methyl Aminoethanol, aminopropanol, methylpyrrolidone, dimethylacetamide, diethylene glycol monoethyl ether, dimethylformamide and the like.

In this case, the stripper may be performed by immersing an etching mask pattern, and preferably, may be applied by spraying.

The solar cell manufacturing method of the present invention may further include a cleaning step after selectively etching the emitter layer and removing the etching mask pattern. For example, the washing may be performed by washing with ultrapure water.

In this manner, a selective emitter layer may be formed to improve the efficiency of the solar cell in the solar cell manufacturing process.

Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail with reference to preferred embodiments of the present invention.
