A cross-sectional sound map of the provided rapid temperature annealing device (RTA) can be applied to selected regions of the semiconductor substrate 3 for heating. The temperature heating annealing device 4 includes at least a heating source 43 and a selection region plus 40, the selection heating plate 40 is disposed between the semiconductor substrate 3 and the heating source 4, and the selection heating plate 40 faces the heating source 40. The surface has a heat reflective film layer 401. The selection heating plate 40 is a transparent substrate. In the embodiment of the invention, the selection heating plate 40 uses a quartz substrate. The heat-reflecting film layer 4〇1 selects a heating pattern therein and is selected from a material having an Emissivity Coefficient of between 0.01 and 〇_〇75, which is mainly used to block the heat source. In the embodiment of the present invention, the material of the heat reflective film layer 401 is generally one of a group selected from the group consisting of gold, recording, silver, copper, and any combination thereof, or an alloy of these materials can be used. The preferred effect, especially after polishing, is more effective. When the semiconductor substrate 3 is subjected to rapid temperature rising annealing, only the bare semiconductor substrate 3 under the opening of the selection heating pattern is heated rapidly, so that the phosphorus atoms contained in the 201143120% oxide layer 31 are diffused inward into the surface of the semiconductor substrate. 3. A heavily doped region 32 is formed in a portion of the region as a location where an electrode is to be formed in a subsequent process. In a preferred embodiment, the selection heating plate 3 is spaced from the semiconductor substrate 3 by a distance of about 彳. Of course, the area that is diffused by local heating will expand as the distance increases. In other words, the size of the opening of the selection heating plate 30 does not need to be in a 1:1 relationship with the area to be heated and diffused. In the embodiment of the present invention, the selection heating plate 3 is spaced apart from the semiconductor substrate 3 by about 0.1 to 50 mm, and has a better local heating effect. In Fig. 3E, the dish oxide layer 31 remaining on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 3 is removed by etching to reduce the recombination effect of the electron-hole. Next, in order to increase the light use efficiency of the solar cell, an antireflection layer 33 is formed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 3 as shown in Fig. 3F. The material of the anti-reflection layer 33 may be selected from the group consisting of cerium oxide (Si〇2), titanium dioxide (Ti02) or tantalum nitride (S^N4), and may be sprayed, vapor-deposited or plasma-assisted chemical vapor phase. Preparation by deposition or the like. Next, referring to Fig. 3G, the metal paste 34 is aligned with the position of the heavily doped region 32 of the dish by the bar 36, and printed on the surface of the semiconductor substrate 3 by screen printing. Finally, a sintering treatment is applied to cause the metal paste 34 to penetrate the front anti-reflective layer 43 and penetrate into the surface layer of the semiconductor substrate 3 to closely bond with the heavily doped region 32 to form the electrode 34, as shown in Fig. 3H. Further, referring to Fig. 4a, a schematic cross-sectional view showing the detailed structure of the rapid temperature annealing heating device 4 used in the present method can be referred to. The rapid temperature annealing heating device 4 has a cavity 41 which, in addition to the foregoing components, further includes a temperature controller 42, a temperature sensor 44, a stage 45, and a cooling device m 10 201143120. The inner wall of the cavity 41 is plated with a heat reflective film layer so that the heat supplied from the heat source 43 can be concentrated to the semiconductor substrate 3 to be heated, so that it can be heated quickly. / ##工为32疋 is used to set the heating parameters and heating program, such as the power and current used by the heating source 43, the time required to heat the semiconductor substrate 3 to a certain temperature range, the temperature holding time and the temperature drop Required

The temperature of the semiconductor substrate 3 is monitored by a temperature sensor 44. The cooling device 46 is disposed inside the stage 45. When the heating source 43 ^ semiconductor substrate 3 is heated to perform the process of the heavily doped region 32, the cold name package 46 can control the temperature profile of the semiconductor substrate 3 (the (10) 扩散 impurity diffusion depth-depth) and diffusion electricity (res丨stance) to achieve optimization. After the temperature of the heating source 43, the temperature sensor 44 and the cooling material 3, the semiconductor 44 is made up! The temperature of the material 3. The stomach is brewed for $41 to precisely control the semiconductor! The stage 45 is used to carry the semiconductor substrate 4, that is, it is placed on the stage and heated by the rapid temperature annealing plus ^^^43. It is worth noting that the selection is heated. As long as the size of the stage 45 is changed, the 3 material 'and the heat reflective film layer _ define a plurality of repetitive m guides = material Γ aligned with different semiconductor substrates' can be _ u + ¥ body substrate 3 synchronous selection heating . FIG. 4B is a top plan view of the selection zone heating plate 4 2011 according to an embodiment of the present invention. The selection heating pattern of the heat reflective film layer 401 is designed according to the position of the busbar and the grid line of the solar cell, so in the embodiment of the invention, the lateral opening 4010 represents that it will be formed in the subsequent process. The position of the bus bar, the longitudinal opening 4012 represents the position at which the grid lines are to be formed. Of course, the position of the bus bar and the grid line are adjusted differently according to the aesthetic requirements. Therefore, the selection heating pattern can also be changed according to the position of the bus bar and the grid line, and is not limited to the pattern used in the embodiment. The rapid temperature annealing device of the present invention is used in the preparation of a selective emitter solar cell in this embodiment, but its application is not limited to this, and can be applied to other processes. For example, the rapid heating annealing apparatus of the present invention can be used to select heavily doped regions and lightly doped regions in the semiconductor surface region. The method is also to form a lightly doped layer and an impurity oxide layer on the surface of the semiconductor substrate, and then rapidly heat up the selected region of the semiconductor substrate to form a (four) into a heavily doped region. Finally, the insect-injection method removes the impurity oxide layer. In summary, the method for forming a solar cell selective emitter (Equivalent Emitter) structure and the rapid temperature annealing device provided by the present invention have the following advantages compared with the prior art: (1) The method is simple and the cost is low. . In the present invention, as long as the rapid heating = breaking the 牦: another 加热 zone heating plate, it is possible to heat only the preset. When applied to the formation of a solar cell selective emitter structure, the present invention is simpler and less costly than conventional techniques using ion cloth values. (2) The rapid temperature annealing device can synchronize multiple semiconductor substrates into the [S3 12 201143120 row selection force η thermal process, which is conducive to mass production. (3) Since the pattern of the heat reflective film layer corresponds to the position at which the semiconductor surface is to be formed. Therefore, when the electrodes on the surface of the semiconductor make a different pattern design for the aesthetic appearance of your building, the heat reflective film 屛 = pattern is changed in the preparation of fl# (4). However, the preparation of the selection and the heat-reflecting film layer of the present invention is very easy, and the above-mentioned requirements can be achieved without consuming too much when the distribution of the electrode surface of the conductor is changed. The present invention, while exemplifying VJL by a preferred embodiment, is not the spirit of the invention and the inventive entity is merely limited to the above embodiments. Anyone who knows how to use it can easily understand and use other components or methods to produce the same effect.
