現今業界上的太陽能板以正金字塔為主,鮮少有倒金字塔的太陽能板,而
倒金字塔結構相對於正金字塔有著較低的反射率,所以本實驗利用 P 型單晶矽
片以金屬輔助化學蝕刻方法在表面製絨出倒金字塔的結構並確保其穩定性,即
同一杯蝕刻液能蝕刻出相似形貌的最大樣本數。整個製程中會進行二步蝕刻,
首先固定金屬離子濃度、HF 濃度,改變 H2O2濃度的酸蝕刻液進行蝕刻,藉由
H2O2在溶液中所扮演的氧化還原角色以尋找最多的有效蝕刻次數,接者再用 40
wt%的 KOH 進行表面形貌的修飾。
最後的數據分析會利用熱場發射掃描式電子顯微鏡(TESEM)分析材料表面
的形貌與結構;利用紫外可見光譜儀(UV-VIS)進行表面反射率的量測。從 SEM
圖可得到當金屬離子濃度固定為 60 mM,HF 濃度固定為 3.5 M,蝕刻溫度
45°C,蝕刻時間為 5 分鐘,當 H2O2濃度從 1.5 M 逐漸提升至 2 M,確實可增加
蝕刻次數至三次。而當 H2O2濃度為 2.25 M 時,反而會在結構表面形成許多細
小孔洞,不利於後續製程,因此最佳的 H2O2濃度定為 2 M。接著將金屬離子濃
度增加至 120 mM,並降低蝕刻時間至 2 分鐘,其餘參數固定,重複上述實驗,
最後成功製絨出六片具有相似形貌的蝕刻片,平均反射率維持在 6-8%,皆低於
PN 片的 9.5%,且經過 KOH 修飾後的蝕刻片也擁有跟 PN 片相似的平均反射
率。
Nowadays, the textured surfaces of the solar cells in the industry
are mainly pyramids, and there are few solar cells with inverted pyramids.
Compared with the pyramid structure, the inverted pyramid structure has
a lower reflectivity. Therefore in this experiment we use P-type single
crystalline silicon substrates with metal-assisted chemical etching to form
inverted pyramids. We texture the inverted pyramid structure on the
surface and ensure its stability, that is, maintaining the maximum number
of samples with similar shapes in the same cup of etching solution. In the
whole process, a two-step etching will be carried out. Firstly, the
concentration of metal ions and HF will be fixed, the concentration of
H2O2 will be changed for the acid etching. The redox role played by H2O2
in the solution is used to the maximum number of effective etching times.
Then 40 wt% KOH was used to modify the surface morphology.
The final data analysis will use thermal field emission scanning
electron microscopy (TESEM) to analyze the morphology and structure
of the material surface, and use ultraviolet-visible spectrometer (UV-VIS)
to measure the surface reflectance. From the SEM image, it can be
observed that when the concentration of metal ions is 60 mM, the
concentration of HF is 3.5 M, etching temperature at 45°C, and etching
time at 5 minutes, gradually increasing the concentration of H2O2 from
1.5 M to 2 M can indeed increase the etching cycles to three times.
However, when the concentration of H2O2 reaches 2.25 M, it instead leads
to the formation of numerous small holes on the surface of the structures,
which is detrimental to the subsequent processing. Therefore, the optimal
the concentration of H2O2 is determined to be 2 M. Subsequently,
increasing the concentration of metal ions to 120 mM and reducing the
etching time to 2 minutes, while keeping the other parameters constant,
3
repeating the aforementioned experiment, ultimately resulted in the
successful fabrication of six etched pieces with similar morphology. The
average reflectance remains at 6-8%, all lower than the 9.5% of the PN
substrates. Furthermore, the etched pieces, after KOH modification, also
exhibit a similar average reflectance to the PN substrates.
