Embodiment
For above-mentioned purpose of the present invention, feature and advantage can be become apparent more, the embodiment of the invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.
The invention provides a kind of manufacture method of SE battery, as shown in Figure 1, comprise the steps:
S10 provides semiconductor substrate 100 (referring to Fig. 2).
The described semiconductor-based end 100, be generally monocrystalline silicon or polysilicon, also can be single-crystal silicon Germanium or polycrystalline silicon germanium etc.; The semiconductor-based end, can be the substrate of P type, also can be the substrate of N type.
S20, making herbs into wool (referring to Fig. 3) on the described semiconductor-based end 100.
Can be only in the positive making herbs into wool at the semiconductor-based end, also can be in the making herbs into wool simultaneously of the two sides at the semiconductor-based end.For monocrystalline silicon, adopt alkali lye making herbs into wool, for polysilicon, adopt acid solution making herbs into wool, herein can be referring to prior art.
S30, to carrying out diffusing, doping in the described semiconductor-based end 101, at the positive diffusion layer 110 that forms in the semiconductor-based ends 102, described diffusion layer 110 comprises the high-dopant concentration layer 111 on top layer and the low doping concentration layer 112 (referring to Fig. 4) of internal layer.
For example when the semiconductor-based end was P type silicon chip, diffusing, doping can place POCl with described silicon chip
3, O
2And N
2Mist in, under 800~900 ℃ temperature conditions the diffusion 1.5 hours.
Formed diffusion layer 110 impurity concentrations are the exponential function continuous distribution from the surface of diffusion layer 110 to inside, and the thickness of diffusion layer 110 is 0.3~0.5 μ m; Do not have obvious boundary between the low doping concentration layer 112 of high-dopant concentration layer 111 and internal layer, usually, high-dopant concentration layer 111 concentrates in the scope apart from diffusion layer 110 surperficial 0.05 μ m.
S40 carries out trimming to the semiconductor-based end 102 after the diffusion and handles (referring to Fig. 5).
The semiconductor-based end after the DIFFUSION TREATMENT, also can form the N district in lateral location, cause finished product SE battery just, back side short circuit, therefore need trimming.Trimming can adopt " waterborne floating " technology, and corrosive liquid can adopt HF, HNO
3And H
2SO
4Mixed solution; Modes such as all right using plasma etching of trimming, the present invention does not do qualification to this.
S50 forms the ag paste electrode 201 corresponding with grid line on diffusion layer 110 surfaces, and forms back electrode and back of the body electric field 301 (referring to Fig. 6) in bottom surface, the semiconductor-based ends 103.
Can starch and aluminium paste by the position silk-screen back of the body silver corresponding in bottom surface, the semiconductor-based ends 103 with back electrode and back of the body electric field, after the oven dry, the position silk-screen silver corresponding with grid line is starched on diffusion layer 110 surfaces again, then to sintering of the whole semiconductor-based end, make silver slurry and high-dopant concentration layer 111, the silver-colored slurry of the back of the body and aluminium paste and bottom surface, the semiconductor-based ends 103 form ohmic contact respectively, obtain the ag paste electrode 201 in front, the semiconductor-based ends 103 and the back electrode and the back of the body electric field 301 of bottom surface.The thickness of ag paste electrode 201 can be 10 μ m.
S60 is at ag paste electrode 201 electroplating surface conducting metals 400 (referring to Fig. 7).
Described conducting metal can be silver, gold or copper etc., and the thickness of conducting metal can be 5~6 μ m.When conducting metal is silver, electroplates the electrolyte that adopts and to be photoinduction alkalescence silver plating liquid.In the electroplating process, only can form conducting metal 400 on ag paste electrode 201 surfaces of conduction, and conducting metal can not converged in nonconducting diffusion layer 111 surfaces, thus, do not need equipment to carry out alignment function once more, realized the autoregistration of conducting metal and ag paste electrode 201, reduced requirement the equipment precision.
S70, as mask, etching is removed the high-dopant concentration layer (referring to Fig. 8) of face exposure of the semiconductor-based ends 103 with conducting metal 400.
The etching liquid that etching is removed the high-dopant concentration layer employing of face exposure of the semiconductor-based ends 103 can be a kind of or its combination among NaOH, the KOH, and concentration can be 1~10%.Described etching liquid can carry out selective etch to the high-dopant concentration layer, and does not react with conducting metal and back electrode, back of the body electric field.Because high-dopant concentration layer 111 concentrates in the scope apart from diffusion layer 110 surperficial 0.05 μ m; usually can be at the thickness of diffusion layer surface etch 0.1 μ m; guaranteeing to remove fully the high-dopant concentration layer that comes out, so the etch period that etching is removed the high-dopant concentration layer of face exposure of the semiconductor-based end can be 5~15 minutes.
S80 is at the positive deposition antireflective coating 500 (referring to Fig. 9) in the semiconductor-based ends 104.
Antireflective coating 500 can be SiNx, and thickness is about 80nm.The process of deposition antireflective coating 500 can repeat no more with reference to the technology of existing deposition antireflective coating herein.
S90, removal conducting metal 400 is treated the antireflective coating (referring to Figure 10) on the electrode welding portion end face.
Because antireflective coating is thinner, removes conducting metal 400 and treat that the antireflective coating of electrode welding portion end face can adopt the mode of mechanical grinding, for example grinder buffing.The operations such as electrode welding that the conducting metal that comes out is more convenient for follow-up.
So far, the SE battery completes.
The manufacture method of SE battery of the present invention, earlier at semiconductor substrate front surface silk-screen ag paste electrode, on ag paste electrode, electroplate conducting metal then, with the mask of conducting metal (being grid line) as removal high-dopant concentration layer, owing to only can form conducting metal on the ag paste electrode surface of conduction, therefore do not need equipment to carry out alignment function once more, realized the autoregistration of conducting metal and ag paste electrode, reduced requirement, improved the rate that manufactures a finished product of SE battery the equipment precision; In addition, adopt the mask of conducting metal, after etching is finished, need not remove, simplified technological process, but also improved the conductivity of SE battery positive electrode as etching high-dopant concentration layer.
