Problems solved by technology

[0006] At present, the commonly used texturing liquid in industrial production is composed of sodium hydroxide, sodium silicate, isopropanol, and deionized water. The effect of this texturing liquid is not ideal. During the production process of silicon wafer texturing, the solution will be invalid. As a result, the production process fluctuates, and the cause of failure lies in the continuous consumption of NaOH and NaOH during the reaction process. 2 SiO 3 The continuous production of the reactant -OH leads to a decrease in the concentration of the reactant -OH, and the surface of the silicon wafer cannot obtain a sufficient contact rate with it; and because the reaction is carried out at a high temperature of about 80 degrees, a violent reaction often occurs and a large number of bubbles are generated, and it is necessary to continuously replenish isopropanol. Reduce the raindrops on the surface of the silicon wafer, and the resulting suede is not ideal
The traditional process generally suppresses the reaction by adding sodium silicate and IPA (isopropanol) to control the reaction rate, so that the pyramid structure of the suede produced in this way is not uniform, the stability of the suede is not good, and finger prints or Vitiligo, etc., it is difficult to control the reaction speed

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to an additive for alkali texturing of monocrystalline silicon sheets and a method for using the same, belonging to the technical field of solar cell production. Background technique [0002] In the preparation process of monocrystalline silicon solar energy, alkaline solution is often used to etch each crystal plane at different rates, forming a "pyramid"-like suede on the surface of the silicon wafer. [0003] The principle of suede growth: at high temperature, silicon and alkali undergo the following chemical reaction: [0004] Si+2OH - +H 2 O = SiO 3 2-   +2H 2 [0005] For crystalline silicon, due to the different atomic density of each crystal plane, the speed of reaction with alkali is very different, which is what we usually call the corrosion of (110) plane (111) plane, thus forming a "pyramid" like velvet on the surface. noodle. An effective textured structure can effectively enhance the absorptio...
