New Description: [New Technology Field] This new type is related to a kind of solar cell component, which is particularly related to a solar cell component structure with a metal-induced low-temperature polycrystalline germanium film, which can effectively improve its photoelectricity. Conversion efficiency. [Prior Art] Since the extension of the 10th century to the 20th century, the shadow of the global energy crisis has not gone, and it is likely to break out in life at any time. After the Kyoto Protocol, the company is committed to the development and creation of alternative energy sources, among which solar energy is the most active area for the development and utilization of new energy. It is estimated that the energy of the surface of the raspberry, which is illuminated by the sun, is about one million times that of all the people on the earth. If you can make full use of one percent of solar energy, you can convert it with a conversion rate of 1%. For electricity, we can meet our needs. The development of solar cells (s-eells) was first traced invented by Bdl Laboratories in 1954. The motivation for #时 R&D is to provide energy for partial and regional power supply systems. At that time, the efficiency of solar cells was only (10). Then, starting from the launch of the first satellite in the Soviet Union in 1957, the United States astronauts landed on the moon. The solar cell's response is said to be fully utilized. The ultimate goal of human development of solar cells is to replace the current traditional energy sources. We all know that the energy of the sun is inexhaustible. The energy from the 'out of the world' is converted into electricity of about 3.8xl 〇 23kw; the total solar energy is converted on the earth from the sun - 500 million kilometers. The amount of solar energy received by the 6 M330563 is expressed in terms of electricity, which is about 2 times the claw bribe. This value is about 10,000 times larger than the average annual hybrid power needle. If I use the financial effect this month, it will not only solve the problem of consumable energy, but even the environmental problem can be solved. The development of solar cell technology toward high-efficiency and low-cost polysilicon film development is quite powerful in electronic components. Because the grain boundary will form a potential energy barrier, the carrier will be closed in the process of the transfer process, and the large-grained polycrystalline stone film has a larger carrier mobility than the small-sized crystal grain. ). Non- ► spar lithography film carrier mobility is much lower than! Coffee 2 / ^ below, and the mobility of the carrier of the polycrystalline stone film can be Wei (10) em2 / V · like, it can be seen that the multi-secret technology will be the focus of silk development ^-. In order to obtain a high carrier mobility, crystallization defects and reduction of grain boundary reduction are required, so that it is necessary to make the dicing growth more complete at the time of recrystallization to reduce crystal defects and obtain larger crystal grains. In the semiconductor manufacturing industry, polycrystalline germanium is usually produced by a low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD) treatment, which is then subjected to a enthalpy higher than _ ° C. This method is commonly known as solid phase. Solid Phase Crystallization (hereinafter referred to as SPC). However, this method requires an extreme annealing temperature to obtain the appropriate crystal grains. The conventional techniques for producing low temperature polycrystalline germanium films can be classified into the following three categories: - 1. Catalytic CVD (hereinafter referred to as Catalytic CVD).

Excimer Laser Annealing (hereinafter referred to as ELA) · Heating and melting amorphous rock with a quasi-knife laser, the amorphous chopped film containing low hydrogen content will recrystallize into polycrystalline seconds film. 7 M330563 3. Metal Induced Crystallization (hereinafter referred to as MIC) · Compared with the conventional SPC, this method can produce a polycrystalline film at a lower temperature (about 500~600 C). This is because the thin layer metal is first coated before the crystal is formed, and the thin layer metal functions to reduce the activity of crystallization. The MIC method is about 6 时 when the amorphous germanium film is brought into contact with certain metal films. After annealing at a lower temperature or lower temperature, eutectic or foreign matter is generated, and the crystal nucleus is used to induce recrystallization of the amorphous germanium to obtain polycrystalline spine. However, among the conventional techniques of the above-described low-temperature polycrystalline film, SPC has a simple process of blackness, but the disadvantage is that the annealing time is too long and the annealing temperature is too high. Excimer laser recrystallization can not be induced in a large area, the laser wavelength and film thickness absorption depth reaction is limited, and there are overlapping illumination issues, so that its uniformity is reduced, so there is no lining to large grains, and the cost and process temperature are also Higher. Because of the many crystallization techniques, metal-induced recrystallization film formation technology can complete the growth of large-area low-temperature (four) films at one time. As is known in the prior art, No. 1226660, the title of -_/ copper metal induced lateral growth polycrystalline film, which discloses the use of a nickel/copper alloy to induce a laterally grown polycrystalline (tetra) film, which can effectively reduce the process of polycrystalline tantalum film. temperature. In view of this, it is necessary to provide a low-cost secret film of the kind of money. #由_金伽's high surface area and its high catalytic force, combined with two-stage annealing method, can be used at lower county temperatures _ different thicknesses and large areas (four) fine, and achieve the photoelectric conversion of the solar cell rate. M330563 [New content] The aim is to provide a kind of solar film with low temperature and multi-secret film in the substrate material.妓 ^ 电 _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ a Benbe (1) type semiconductor layer for improving the absorption range of visible spectrum photons; a germanium type semiconductor layer for generating electrons; and a first electrode and a second electrode for removing Electrical energy: and - a second electrode, hunted by - the side of the solar cell S - to the p-type semiconductor layer, and formed above it, the side of which is taken from the (four) energy; its towel, the f (1) type semiconductor layer is Combined with metal aluminum and two-stage annealing. According to the present invention, the substrate is selected from the group consisting of a glass, a plastic substrate, a semiconductive substrate, an insulating substrate, a flexible substrate, or a stainless steel plate. According to the feature of the present invention, the P-type semiconductor layer is selected from the group consisting of one of the inducing day, the solid phase crystallization, or the excimer laser annealing process. According to the characteristics of the present invention, the doping method of the layer semiconductor is selected from the thermal diffusion method or the ion implantation method. According to one feature of the present invention, the first electrode and the second electrode are selected from one of a process such as an evaporation method, a plating method, and a printing method, and the material thereof is selected from the group consisting of nickel, gold, and silver. Battery Element Junction of Titanium, Fine, and Material Conductive Materials According to the present invention, a solar energy M330563 semiconductor layer 107' having a low temperature polycrystalline germanium film is formed over the essence (1) type semiconductor layer 106, and the 1 series is audible to generate electrons. The first electrode of the township has a 1_axis in the social yang can hide the component, and the P-shaped semiconductor after the repairing side is above, the function is to take out the electric energy, and the potency. The financial method is selected from the test method, electroplating method and printing. The method of Lai Lai is a kind of material selected from the group consisting of conductive materials such as recording, gold, silver, titanium, handle, and Ming. The type semiconductor layer 104 is formed on the substrate 101, and the p-type semiconductor means that impurities added in the = material shell can generate excess holes, and the semiconductors of the _: ' are identical to each other. For example, if an intrinsic semiconductor is doped with an impurity of 3 Å atoms, an extra hole is formed in the case of Shi Xi and the wrong semiconductor. The current is operated mainly by holes. The intrinsic (i) type semiconductor layer 106 is formed on the P type semiconductor layer 1〇4. The intrinsic (1) type semiconductor layer has the greatest influence on the electrical characteristics of the thin film type solar cell because when electrons and holes are conducted inside the material, If the distance is too long, the probability of coincidence is extremely high. In order to avoid this phenomenon, the i-layer semiconductor layer ι〇6 should not be too thick, but if it is too thin, it is easy to cause insufficient light absorption. The i-layer semiconductor layer 1〇6 is mainly made of amorphous germanium (a-Si:H), but the biggest deficiency of amorphous germanium is the sharp decline in performance in a short time after the use of light, which is called 5 ~ (Staebler-Wronski) effect, its amplitude is about 15~35%. The reason for this is because some of the unsaturated Dangling bonds in the material are due to light exposure, and the preparation structure changes. • The N-type semiconductor layer 107 is formed on the intrinsic (i) type semiconductor layer, and the N-type semiconductor is a semiconductor in which impurities added to the intrinsic material generate excess electrons and electrons constitute a majority carrier. For example, if an intrinsic semiconductor is doped with a impurity of a 5-valent atom, excess electrons are formed in the case of a germanium and a germanium semiconductor. The current is operated mainly by electrons. 11 M330563 The upper electrode 108 is formed on the semiconductor layer 1〇7, which is an Ohrms contact electrode. Its function is to take out the & The thief hopes that this part will not be rectified, and the current will be high. The general ohmic electrode formation methods include a steaming method, a plating method, and a printing method. In the manufacture of high-efficiency solar cells, the steam forging method: the materials are recorded, silver, titanium, platinum, handle, oxidation, and oxidation. According to the component structure of the present invention, it is formed by combining the metal shaft gambling annealing process step and can produce a large-area polycrystalline film. In the second diagram of Yan Zhao, the p-type semiconductor layer 104 and the intrinsic (i) type semiconductor layer and the 1〇6 system are respectively formed by steps 203 and 205 in Fig. 2 . The main step of using polyaluminum metal as the induced metal combined with two-stage heat annealing to achieve polycrystalline germanium is shown in Figure 3. *, 'Please refer to Figure 3a, which is step 2 of Figure 2, and the metal sputtering system is plated with an aluminum film of 5 〇 - 50 〇 nm on the substrate 1 〇 1 . Of course, before the spin coating, there is a need to clean the substrate. Since the surface of the substrate is likely to remain contaminated with metal impurities, fine particles, organic matter, metal residues, etc., the substrate must be cleaned to a clean surface. The substrate 101 is selected from one of a glass, a plastic substrate, a semiconductive substrate, an insulating substrate, a flexible substrate, or a stainless steel plate. The metal inscription 1〇2 is a metal that can produce low temperature eutectic with the coffin, such as gold or aluminum and its alloys. Because the eutectic temperature of Shi Xi and Ming is 577 ° C, and the eutectic temperature of Shi Xi and gold is 376 ° C. In the process of the money clock, the substrate 1〇1 is located on a machine platform, and the metal is used to accelerate the bombardment of the electrode material placed on the cathode plate by using a part of the ions generated in the plasma, and the metal is shot. The atom is deposited on the surface of the other electrode as a secondary electron, and the metal atom is automatically dispersed and arranged on the surface of the substrate to form a metal thin film. 12 M330563 Please refer to Figure 3b, which is step 201 of Figure 2, and its parameters are: power 100W, chamber pressure 10-3 torr (T〇rr), substrate temperature 300 °C, The gas flow rate is 600 sccm (SiH4), so its deposition rate is about 770 A per minute. Referring to FIG. 3c, which is step 202 of FIG. 2, the substrate 101 is heated at a first temperature such that the amorphous germanium film forms a polysilicon film 104 having a first thickness, wherein the first temperature system is between 450. -600 ° C. This step is the first stage annealing process, and the metal aluminum has an extremely high surface area and high catalytic ability to induce an amorphous germanium film at a lower temperature. Since the metal aluminum 1〇2 system and the stone material produce a low-temperature eutectic metal, during the entire heating process, the metal elements will gradually form an exchange reaction mechanism with the amorphous stone, that is, the non- The germanium begins to form a polycrystalline structure on the interface with the metallic aluminum, and the metal is gradually deposited upward to form a surface of the polycrystalline film. As the temperature of the heating (i.e., annealing) increases, the crystallization characteristics of the polycrystalline silicon film are also enhanced. It should be noted that the annealing in this step is not limited to annealing in a furnace tube or a rapid annealing furnace, and it may also be annealed using a pseudo-laser or continuous wave YAG laser. In step 203, the metal aluminum 102 is etched. For example, if metal aluminum is used as the induced metal, then the metal|Lv name can be carved out using Ming | The P-type semiconductor layer 104 having the first thickness serves as a seed layer for the subsequent catalytic amorphous germanium film.

This step is a second-stage annealing process. Since the polycrystalline tie film 104 having the first thickness is used as a seed layer of the amorphous second film 105 having a thickness, the second annealing is heated. The second temperature can be effectively reduced, and is generally preferably between 200 and 500 °C. The heating process can be carried out by introducing nitrogen (1-5 slm) into a high temperature and low pressure furnace tube or a rapid annealing furnace (RTA). As the temperature of the heating (also gp annealing) increases, the crystallization characteristics of the i-type polycrystalline silicon film 106 having the second thickness are also enhanced. With the increase in the second thickness of the i-type polycrystalline thin phosphine 106 having the second thickness, the second temperature of the second annealing heating must also be increased to achieve effective crystallization characteristics. It should be noted that the annealing in this step is not limited to annealing in a furnace tube or a rapid annealing furnace, and may be annealed using a pseudo-molecular laser or a continuous wave YAG laser.
