The micron particles, especially the micron particles containing kinetic energy (the kinetic energy is energy generated by enabling the micron particles to move in the wool making agent through methods of stirring, ultrasound, bubbling and the like), can destroy and split hydrogen bubbles generated by the reaction of the monocrystalline silicon piece and alkali liquor in the wool making process, and enable the hydrogen bubbles to be desorbed from the surface of the monocrystalline silicon piece, so that the size and the density of the hydrogen bubbles and the adhesion time on the surface of the monocrystalline silicon piece are controlled, and finally the control on the texture surface of the monocrystalline silicon piece is realized.
Furthermore, the particle size range of the micron particles is 5-500 mu m.
Furthermore, the mass fraction range of the micron particles in the monocrystalline silicon piece texture surface making agent is 0.2-20%.
Further, the alkali liquor is sodium hydroxide solution or potassium hydroxide solution, and the concentration range of the alkali liquor is 0.05-1.0 mol/L.
The invention realizes the preparation and adjustment of the pyramid suede on the surface of the monocrystalline silicon piece by improving the existing alkaline texturing agent and adding the micron particles with kinetic energy into the alkaline liquor.
The action principle of the monocrystalline silicon piece texture surface making agent is as follows: the alkali liquor and the monocrystalline silicon piece are subjected to chemical reaction to generate hydrogen bubbles, the micron particles with kinetic energy collide with the hydrogen bubbles to destroy or split the hydrogen bubbles, and meanwhile, the micron particles desorb the hydrogen bubbles attached to the surface of the monocrystalline silicon piece, so that the texturing on the surface of the monocrystalline silicon piece is realized.
In the process of impacting the hydrogen bubbles by the micron particles, parameters such as the size and the density of the hydrogen bubbles, the time for adhering the hydrogen bubbles to the surface of the monocrystalline silicon piece and the like can be directly influenced, so that the appearance, the size and the uniformity of the prepared texture are directly influenced, and the anti-reflection effect of the surface of the monocrystalline silicon piece and the matching condition between the surface of the monocrystalline silicon piece and other film layers are further influenced.

And S5, taking out the monocrystalline silicon wafer 3 after texturing and cleaning.
In the step, t is 180-600 s, and the texture surface of the monocrystalline silicon wafer is controlled by strictly controlling the texture surface making time t.
Of course, the micro-particle component can be expanded from fluorine-containing polymer into organic polymer, inorganic nonmetal (such as quartz), metal (such as nickel and nickel-based alloy) and other materials with certain alkali corrosion resistance.
Preferably, the monocrystalline silicon piece is subjected to texturing by preparing a monocrystalline silicon piece texturing agent by using a fluorine-containing polymer as a material.

As shown in FIG. 2, the single crystal silicon wafer 3 was subjected to texturing cleaning in the texturing tank 1 by performing a comparative test on whether or not micron particles were added to the texturing agent. Wherein, the left side in fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of the effect of the existing texture surface-making agent on the surface of monocrystalline silicon, and only the alkaline solution 2 acts on the monocrystalline silicon piece 3; on the right side of fig. 2 is a schematic diagram of the action of the texturing agent of the present invention on the surface of single-crystal silicon, and the mixed solution includes microparticles 5 with kinetic energy.

The invention adopts micron particles 5 with excellent chemical stability, thermal stability and non-adhesiveness, such as fluorine-containing polymer (such as polytetrafluoroethylene) to assist in texturing, and utilizes the impact action of the fluorine-containing polymer with certain kinetic energy dispersed in alkali liquor on hydrogen bubbles 4 on the surface of a monocrystalline silicon piece 3 to destroy and split bubbles or desorb the hydrogen bubbles, thereby replacing the conventional texturing additive to realize the control of the texturing process. The advantages are that:
