[Prior Art] In the solar cell structure, the illuminating surface generally has a concave-convex structure, thereby reducing the reflectance of the surface of the solar cell to light and increasing the incident ratio of sunlight. The surface uneven structure described above can be formed by etching the surface of the substrate by reactive ion etching (RIE). Referring to FIG. 1, although the RIE process can etch the substrate u to meet the unevenness of the surface of the substrate u, the process is The charged particles (plasma) in the substrate also react with the material of the substrate 11 to form a plasma destruction layer 12 on the surface of the substrate U. The presence of the plasma destruction layer 12 will increase the recombination rate of the carrier, thus The photoelectric conversion efficiency of the solar cell is lowered. Therefore, after the RIE process, the electro-inflammation destruction layer i2' must be removed by wet etching because the material is time (3) and (iv) oxide (si(:^ is mainly, Therefore, the etching solution usually uses a solution of potassium pentoxide (K〇H), hydrofluoric acid or the like. After the plasma destruction layer 12 is removed, a thermal diffusion process is subsequently performed to form a pn junction on the surface of the substrate u. However, the equipment used for the seat type engraving is not necessary, and another wet etching is necessary after the thermal diffusion process, that is, the surface of the substrate 11 is removed due to the high temperature. Raw Si〇2, so as the above-mentioned solar energy 201240127 causes equipment and battery manufacturing equipment, it is necessary to have two sets of wet etching equipment, which is expensive to manufacture, which is not conducive to industrial mass production. [Invention] Therefore, the object of the present invention The method for manufacturing a solar cell according to the present invention includes: (4) etching a first conductive type substrate by dry etching to make the surface high or low. An undulating shape, and a surface of the first conductive type substrate further forms a plasma destruction layer; (B) thermally diffusing the first conductive type substrate to form the first conductive type substrate in the plasma destruction layer a second conductive type emitter layer underneath, and oxidizing the plasma destruction layer to form an oxide layer, the thermal diffusion process including a deposition stage and a drive-in stage, the drive-in stage is in-drive The temperature continues to drive time, the driving temperature is 800 C~950C, and the driving time is 20 minutes to 5 minutes; (C) Forming the oxide layer to complete the fabrication of the semi-finished product of the solar cell; and (D) forming an electrode on the semi-finished product of the solar cell. When the driving temperature is too low and less than 80 (rc, the reaction gas cannot be obtained due to insufficient temperature The molecule generates sufficient moving kinetic energy, so the diffusion effect is not good for the formation of the second conductive type emitter layer, and the plasma destruction layer cannot be oxidized. 'When the driving temperature is too high and is greater than 95 〇 ° C, the first is exceeded. The temperature resistance range of the conductive substrate may cause warpage. When the driving time is too short, the reaction gas molecules are not sufficiently diffused, which is not conducive to the formation of the second conductivity type 4 201240127 emitter layer 'the electric (four) bad layer It can't be fully oxidized; it can be achieved by driving in for up to 50 minutes, and increasing the time is just a waste of energy. The effect of the invention is that the plasma destruction layer is oxidized by improving the driving-in stage of the thermal diffusion treatment and the oxide layer is removed by wet etching after the thermal diffusion treatment, so that the invention can omit the heat diffusion treatment before the fourth :, this can reduce equipment costs, facilitate mass production, and the solar cells produced still maintain a certain conversion efficiency. [Embodiment] The above-mentioned and other technical contents of the present invention will be clearly described in the following detailed description of the preferred embodiments and the several experimental examples. Referring to FIG. 2, a preferred embodiment of the manufacturing method of the present invention is for manufacturing a solar cell, and the solar cell comprises a first conductive type substrate 2 and a second conductive type emitter stacked one above another. The layer 4, an anti-reflection layer 5, and two electrodes 6 respectively located on the lower surface of the first-conductivity-type substrate 2 and the surface of the anti-reflection layer 5. Referring to FIGS. 3 and 4, the method for manufacturing a solar cell of the present invention comprises: (1) performing step 71: preparing the first conductive type substrate 2, and the present embodiment is a P-type semiconductor stone (Si) substrate, which is not limited thereto, and is also not limited thereto. An n-type substrate can be used. (7) Step 72: Residually engraving the surface of the first conductive substrate 2 by dry stenciling, in this embodiment, the limb-type ion (4) method "-Etching, referred to as Rm", and %, a* 〇 2 Mixing as a reaction gas makes the surface of the first electric substrate 2 high and low undulating, that is, 201240127 is a rough texture forming a concave shape and because the surface of the first conductive type substrate 2 reacts with the plasma. Therefore, a plasma destruction layer 3 is formed on the surface of the embossed thick chain microstructure, and the material of the plasma destruction layer 3 is mainly an oxide of lanthanum and cerium (Si〇j. (3) Step 73: The first conductive type substrate 2 is subjected to a thermal diffusion process including a deposition stage and a drive_in stage. First, in the deposition stage, the first conductive type substrate 2 is placed in a high temperature furnace tube, the furnace The temperature in the tube is about 750 〇c~8 〇 (rc, and a reaction gas is introduced into the furnace tube. The present embodiment is a mixed gas of N^POCl3 (phosphorus oxychloride), 〇2 and N2, but is not limited thereto. And further depositing phosphorus on the surface of the first conductive type substrate 2 P). The drive-in phase is followed by a drive-in time at a drive-in temperature of 8 〇 (rc~95 (rc, preferably 81 〇 it ~ 950 C) More preferably, it is 850 ° C to 90 CTC; the driving time is 2 minutes to 50 minutes, preferably 25 minutes to 37. 5 minutes, so that phosphorus (p) on the surface of the first conductive substrate 2 enters. The surface layer of the first conductive type substrate 2 further forms an n-type second conductive type emitter layer 4 under the plasma destruction layer 3, and the material thereof is mainly phosphorus glass (PSG). Gas molecules will also diffuse into the plasma destruction layer 3, and will be converted into an oxide layer 3 due to the higher temperature and time setting, 'the oxide layer 3, the material is mainly cerium oxide, phosphorus and In the first conductive type substrate 2, when the n-type semiconductor is used, the second conductive type emitter layer 4 formed by thermal diffusion treatment is a germanium type semiconductor. 6 201240127 : (4) Step 74: The oxide layer 3 is removed by wet etching, and the first conductive type emitter layer 4 is exposed. For example, a solution such as hydrofluoric acid (HF) is used as the etching liquid. (5) Step 75 is performed. · An anti-reflection layer 5 of tantalum nitride is formed on the surface of the second conductive type emitter layer 4, and the anti-reflection layer 5 can be used. Reducing the reflection of sunlight and increasing the incident ratio of light. In practice, it can be carried out by techniques such as sputtering or plasma-assisted chemical vapor deposition (PECVD). At this point, the semi-finished product of the solar cell has been completed, but it must be noted. It is not necessary to form the anti-reflection layer 5, so the anti-reflection layer 5 may not be included in the semi-finished product of the solar cell. (6) Step 76: forming an electrode 6 on the semi-finished product of the solar cell. The electrode 6 is formed on the upper surface of the anti-reflection layer 5 and the lower surface of the first conductive type substrate 2 mainly by screen printing. The shape of the electrode 6 in FIG. 3 is merely illustrative and not limiting, and may be in other designs. (7) Performing step 77: placing the sample subjected to step 76 in a high temperature sintering furnace, wherein the sintering furnace has a plurality of high temperature regions having different temperatures, and the rollers in the furnace drive the sample to advance and are sintered at different high temperatures, the electrodes 6 Therefore, it can be firmly attached, thus completing the fabrication of the solar cell. Compared with the prior art process, the present invention mainly eliminates the fishing type before the thermal diffusion treatment and improves the driving stage of the thermal diffusion treatment, and can form the second by the combination of the driving temperature and the driving time. In the case of the conductive emitter layer 4, the plasma destruction layer 3 is also oxidized, which has the advantage that in the existing solar cell process, wet-touching is necessary after the thermal diffusion treatment, and the hydrofluoric acid solution is oxidized. The material has a good etching effect, 7 201240127. Therefore, the present invention directly removes the oxide layer 3 by using the fishing button engraving step, and the oxide layer 3' is obtained by oxidizing the plasma destruction layer 3, so the oxide layer 3' The thickness is in principle thicker relative to the plasma destruction layer 3, it is easier to control to completely etch it, and to avoid damage to the second conductivity type emitter layer 4. Referring to Table 1 below, it is exemplified by experiments that the solar cell manufactured by the present invention still has good performance. Table V. . Represents the open circuit voltage, Js £ represents the short circuit current 'F.F value represents mi factor, and Eff. is conversion efficiency. In the range of driving temperature and driving time defined in Experimental Examples 1 to 8, the short-circuit current, FF value and conversion efficiency of each sample can reach a certain standard. In Comparative Example 1, the driving temperature is 780 C. Below 800 ° C, the moving kinetic energy of the anti-anaesthetic gas molecules is insufficient, and the diffusion effect is not good, which is disadvantageous for the formation of the second conductive type emitter layer 4, and the plasma destruction layer 3 cannot be sufficiently oxidized and completely removed, resulting in The short-circuit current and conversion efficiency of Comparative Example 1 were inferior.
