ABSTRACT

z

The microstructure and minority carrier lifetime of silicon

were investigated in uniaxially compressed silicon samples. The

__- - objective of the investigation was to determine if it is feasibleto produce silicon solar cells from sheet formed by high tempera-ture rolling. The initial structure of the silicon samples rangedfrom single crystal to fine-grained polycrystals. The samples hadbeen deformed at strain rates of 0.1 to 8.5 sec -1 and temperaturesof 1270-1380°C with subsequent annealing at 1270-1380°C.

Recrystallization was incomplete even after long anneals. A10 hour anneal of fine-grained samples with as much as 51% strainonly caused 95% of the samples to recrystallize and even then therecrystallized grains contained twin boundaries and dislocations.The recrystallization in the large grained samples was also incom-plete and further, it has been shown that large grained materialcracks readily during significant deformation (up to 40%). Themajor mode of recrystallization appears to be migration of exist-

-° iiLg boundaries into the deformed regions. Minority carrier dif-fusion length was drastically reduced by deformation and recoveredonly slightly with annealing. These results suggest that hightemperature rolling of silicon to produce sheet for solar cells of

F=

high efficiency is not practical.

I. INTRODUCTION

Silicon is a material with potential for low cost photovoltaicenergy conversion. One possible method to form silicon sheet materialwhich can then be converted into solar cells is hot rolling. Inves-tigations have demonstrated that high temperature deformation is

possible( 1) . However, there remain questions as to whether the struc-ture of the recrystallized material will permit the fabrication of high

efficiency solar cells.

The most important figure of merit for silicon to be used in solarcells is the effective minority carrier diffusion length (Ld ) (2) which

depends on both grain size and intragrain diffusion length. Investiga-tors( 3-6) have demonstrated that effective diffusion lengths in therange of 30 pm minimum are necessary for high efficiency solar cells(>12%), while shorter effective diffusion lengths are indicative of

lower efficiencies. Several investigators have shown that effectivediffusion length is no larger than the grain size and may be substan-

tially less( 2 , 7 , 8 ). High efficiency cells, then, require grains largerthan 30 um. In addition, structure within the grains may limit theintragrain diffusion length and hence the effective diffusion length.Many large grain ribbon materials, which have intersecting twin planesand dislocations, also have short diffusion lengths( 3 -6 ) and lowefficiencies.

The purpose of this paper is to describe the structure of recrys-tallized silicon and its behavior with respect to deformation rates andannealing cycles. The paper further assesses the implications ofrecrystallized structure on high efficiency solar cells and cost.

II. SAMPLE PREPARATION

A variety of starting grain sizes and structures was investigated.

Large single crystals as well as 1 mm grain size polycrystals wereobtained from the Czochralski growth process. Fine-grained polycrystals

were obtained from the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process. Samples,for which minority diffusion lengths were to he measured, were lightlydoped with boron to about 7 ohm-cm resistivity. All samples were

deformed under compression at high temperatures (1270 0 to 1380°C) with

varying deformation rates under a separate study using Instron and MTS

machines (9-11) , During deformation, it was noted that the coarser

grained and single crystal material was more susceptible to crackingunder test conditions. Cracking occurred at approximately 25% strainfor the coarse grained material while cracking occurred at approximately

50% strain for the fine-grained material. A summary of the samplesinvestigated and the deformation conditions is given in Table I. Thistable provides details of the deformation and annealing conditions

Lescribed below.

The samples were prepared for metallography by slicing into 0.5 mm

sections, mounting, and polishing to 0.05 um alumina powder with an

automatic Syntron Polisher. The samples were then Sirtl ctched (12) for

5 to 10 seconds.

III. RESULTS

The results of st , adies of these deformed samples are subdividedaccording to the nature of the starting material.

A. SINGLE CRYSTAL SILICON

The starting material was Czochralski-grown (001) single crystaland was dislocation free. Figure 1(a) is a photomicrograph of a typicalarea of (001) single crystal after deformation. Dislocations with anaverage density of 10 5cm-2 were generated during the deformation process.Three separate x-ray techniques were utilized to evaluate the resultingstructure and results are summarized below:

(1) Streaking of the Laue spots was observed in back-reflectionx-ray Laue patterns.

(2) Only 15% of the sample was diffracted as a visible image inthe Berg-Barrett test where the sample was rocked 12.5°using a 0.25° divergent beam. The diffracted image isshown in Figure 1(b) and it is noticed that the dislocationdensity was too high to be resolved.

(3) Using a 3° divergent slit, a diffractomer scan gave twopeaks 0.11° apart indicating two crystals.

After annealing for 10 hours, the structure shown in Figure 1(a)changed to that shown in Figure 2(a). The dislocation density in thesephotomicrographs is reduced to 5 x 10 4 cn--2 . The Laue x-ray topographrevealed streaking of the spots; 40% of the Berg Barrett topograph gavea visible image with the dislocation density unresolvable [Figure 2(b)].

However, the diffraction scan on these samples only indicated one peak(one crystal).

The dislocation densities of both samples are approximately the

same but the lattice rotation appears to be smaller in the annealedsamples. The samples experienced some recovery during anneal, but thesmall amount was only evident when complementary results from the variousmethods were obtained.

B. POLYCRYSTALLINE SILICON (CZOCHRALSKI)

The structure of Czochralski grown polysilicon prior to deform,-

tion is shown in Figure 3. Minority carrier diffusion length wasmeasured by the surface photovoltage (SYV) method and found to be about90 tim. Figures 4(a) and 4(b) are micrographs shoving the silicon afterthe initial deformation and some dynamic recrystallization. 'These show

a grain size of about 0.2 mm with a moderately h{.gh, inhomogeneousdistribution of dislocations stretching across the grain boundaries.The grains were present before the deformation had occurred (seeFigure 3) and do not appear affected by the deformation. Diffusion

length was reduced to 1-2 um. Figures 5(a) and 5(b) are micrographs ofa similarly deformed specimen after a 20 minute anneal at a slightlylower temperature. The structure is very similar to that of Figures4(a) and 4(b) except that a more pronounced dislocation network appearsto be forming. Diffusion length recovered only slightly to 3-4 pm.Figures 6(a) and 6(b) are micrographs of a redeformed specimen, e.g.,a specimen initially deformed and annealed, then deformed again. The

dislocation networks appear to have polygonized into subgrain boundaries.There is still a high density of dislocations and the grains seem tohave more kinks and discontinuities. Diffusion length degraded to

0-1 um. The last sample of this sequence is a reannealed specimen

[Figures 7(a) and 7(b)]. These specimens show a more pronounced defor-mation structure, resulting in subgrain boundary creation and migrationaccompanied by high dislocation density. They do not seem to show

improvement in structure after annealing comparable to that evidencedby singly deformed and annealed specimens [see Figure 5(b)]. Althoughthe diffusion length did recover to about the same value, none of thesespecimens except the undeformed one would be expected to be structurallygood for solar cells because of the high dislocation densities. Thediffusion length measurements support this expectation. The structureappears to ha v e degraded as more processing was performed.

C. POLYCRYSTALLINE SILICON (CHEMICAL VAPOR DEPOSITED)

The structure of polycrystalline CVD silicon supplied by DowCorning is shown in Figure 8. Figures 9(a) and 9(b) are micrographs of

a random area of a specimen after the initial deformation at<0.1 sec -1 and some dynamic recrystallization. (See Table I for

details.) The micrographs show almost dislocation- ree recrystallized0.5 mm grains in 70% of the material. The dislocations in the remaining30% seem to have coalesced to form small grains of about 2.0 um.

Figure 10 is a micrograph of a specimen after a 10 minute anneal at thesame temperature. The structure is very similar to that of Figure 9(a),

except that 95% of the material has recrystallized. Figures 11(a) and11(b) are micrographs of the redeformed sample showing a I to 2 um grainsize with high dislocation densit y . Remains of the prior grain boun-daries can be seen in Figure il(a), whereas in Figure 11(b) the tworegions seem to be distinguished by the amount of deformation that has

occurred in each of the grains. Apparently, adjacent grains do notexperience equal deformation. Figures 12(a) and 12(b) show how the

silicon appears after a second deformation and a 10 minute anneal.About 901 of the silicon has recrystallized leaving the grains decoratedwith dislocations. Again, as more processing was performed, the struc-ture became more degraded.

peformation at rates of 5.0 to 8.5 sec -1 was also performed onCVi) silicon at 1380°C. Prior to deformation the CVD silicon was

annealed at 1380% for 24 hours with no apparent change in texture(i)Figures 13(a) and 13(b) show micrographs of two random areas of a

specimen after the initial deformation. The specimen is highly deformedwith very little recovery. After a 30 minute anneal, Figures 14(a) and14(b), 50% of the specimen has recrystallized. The recrystallizedregions have dislocations and twin boundaries, whereas the unrecrystal-lized regions seem to have formed 1 pm subgrains. After a 10 hour

anneal at 1300°C, 95% of the specimen has recrystallized, Figures 15(a)and 15(b). The central regions of some recrystallized grains aredecorated with dislocations and twin boundaries while a few grainsappear to have nucleated dislocation-free grains and grown. Completerecrystallization does, not appear to occur with reasonable (short)annealing time.

IV. DISCUSSION

The deformation of the single crystal silicon is more complexthan might be expected because of the specific compression directionchosen <001>. Single crystal silicon will normally deform by fill)<110> slip during uniaxial compression at high temperature (>1200°C)(13).When a sample is deformed parallel to <011>, the orientation is stablewith respect to the deformation axis while it is not when deformedparallel to the <001>. When the <001> direction is chosen for compres-sion, deformation is accompanied by both lattice rotation and dislocationformation. If the sample is not compressed exactly in the <001> direc-tion, only one slip system is active and the direction of compressionrotates toward the normal to the glide plane [1111 (Figure 16). Therotation overshoots the boundary between the <011> and <100> and asecond slip system becomes active. If the stress is continued, thecompression direction zig-zags across the boundary between the <001> and<011> until it stabilizes its compression axis on the <011> direction.This same type of lattice distortion occurs whether the ends of thespecimen are constrained or not. The change in the direction ofcompression described does not occur simultaneously or uniformly overthe entire crystal, so the sample displays non-uniform deformation andthere is a mismatch of the planes resulting in the creation ofdislocations.

A polycrystalline specimen has an additional constraint to satisfy;the matching of grain boundaries. Deformation of each grain in a poly-crystalline material is dependent on grain orientation with respect tothe compression axis, so the deformation process in polycrystallinesamples is even more non-uniform. Dislocations will form clusters,braids, rings, loops and tangles [Figure 4(a) and 4(b)].

As expected, the observed annealing phenomena varied depending onthe prior deformation and annealing temperatures. At the annealingtemperatures used here, the dislocations in silicon are mobile. Dislo-cations glide and climb in order to annihilate each other or form lowerenergy configurations. The recrystallization of deformed silicon occursby either nucleation and growth of new dislocation-free grains or by

_ strain-induced boundary migration, i.e., migration of existing grainboundaries or of subgrain boundaries which are formed by the coalescenceof dislocations. In the case of nucleation, the boundaries of the newgrains will grow into the deformed grains until they impinge on eachother. The resultant nucleated grains are generally free of strain anddislocations. The strain-induced boundary migration of existing grainor subgrain boundaries competes with nucleation and growth. Existinggrain boundaries are either high or low angle; the subgrain boundariesare always low angle. Migrating high angle boundaries consume more ofthe dislocations and twins than the low angle boundaries. The centralregion of an existing grain is decorated by dislocations and twins ifa grain boundary does not migrate through it [Figures 15(a) and 15(b)].

In the case of <000 single crystals, nucleation and growth does notoccur until the sample has been compressed at least 100%( 15 ) becausesubgrain boundary creation by polygonization and migration of grain

boundaries occurs prior to nucleation. Recovery, in the form of dis-location annihilation and other low energy configurations, does takeplace during the anneal. For fine grained material (M) , the stored

energy associated with grain boundaries can be utilized in conjunctionwith deformation energy to aid recrystallization upon annealing.

V. SUMMARY AND CONCLUSION

From the analysis of the microstructure of deformed and annealedsilicon, there is serious doubt that the structures of hot rolledsilicon are consistent with high efficiency solar cells. The kineticsof silicon recrystallization are low at temperatures near the meltingpoint (1380°C). The structure of the material appears to degrade asmore processing is performed, and long anneals (10 hours) do not com-pletely recrystallize the silicon. The resulting recrystallized ;rains

• are decorated with dislocations and twin boundaries. Recrystallizationat practical rates of samples deformed 50% is only possible if theinitial material has an abundance of stored internal energy, such aswith CVD silicon, which can be utilized during recrystallization. Ifthe material has a grain size of approximately 0.1 mm or greater, thestored internal energy in the material is too low for meaningfulrecrystallization. With such grain sizes, the amount of deformation(>>1000 necessary for practical annealing times has been shown tofracture the material during the deformation process( 10 ). Thus the hotrolling of silicon would require impractically large final reductionsin thickness to achieve 0.1 mm grains and low dislocation density afterfinal anneal. It must be noted that although only one sample of eachdeformation and anneal step was performed and the accuracy of any indi-vidual determination is low, the conclusions drawn from the sequence ofsteps are valid.

The investigation of the structure and diffusion length of uni-axial compressed silicon samples strongly suggests that fabrication ofhigh efficiency solar cells by high temperature rolling of silicon isunfeasible because of requirements for excessively large deformationsand long anneals to promote the otherwise sluggish recrystallization.
