Description
本発明のシリコン基板は、基板表面にテクスチャおよび微小の四角状の凹凸が波紋形状に形成されていることを特徴とする。テクスチャが形成された基板表面を、テクスチャ形成面、微小の四角状の凹凸が波紋形状に形成された面を微小凹凸面という。
本発明のシリコン基板の製造方法は、ノンプラズマでシリコン基板を処理する点が特徴である。そのうえで、テクスチャを有する基板面方位(100)のシリコン基板を用意するステップと、シリコン基板にエッチングガスを吹き付けるステップとを含む。好ましくは、シリコン基板に冷却ガスを吹き付けるステップを更に含み;エッチングガスを吹き付けるステップと冷却ガスを吹き付けるステップとを交互に繰り返してもよい。
このように、本発明のシリコン基板は、太陽電池用のシリコン基板として用いられることが好ましい。太陽電池用のシリコン基板とするには、シリコン基板のテクスチャ形成面にエミッタ層を形成してpn接合を形成することが好ましい。
図3に示される微小凹凸面形成装置10のステージ50に、テクスチャが形成された基板面方位(100)のシリコン基板100を載置した。
