    摘要: A vapor phase growth system is capable of adequately ensuring space for moving a substrate transfer member when loading/unloading a substrate to and from a susceptor even if a configuration is employed in which the space between the bottom surface of the ceiling plate of a reaction vessel and a set of the susceptor and a preheating ring is narrowed. A process chamber includes a susceptor lifting mechanism that raises and lowers the susceptor between a first position and a second position. With the susceptor in the first position, the top surface of the susceptor is above the bottom surface of the preheating ring, and a source gas distribution space with a predetermined height dimension is secured between the top surface of the susceptor and the bottom surface of the ceiling plate of the reaction vessel body. With the susceptor in the second position, the top surface of the susceptor is located below the bottom surface of the preheating ring, and a substrate loading/unloading space, which has a greater height dimension than that of the source gas distribution space, is secured between the top surface of the susceptor and the bottom surface of the preheating ring.

    摘要: Provided are a heterojunction solar cell coating apparatus, method and system, a solar cell, a module, and a power generation system. The heterojunction solar cell coating apparatus is configured for amorphous silicon-based film deposition, and comprises a loading cavity (1), a preheating cavity (2), intrinsic process cavities (3), doping process cavities (4) and an unloading cavity (5) that are linearly arranged in sequence, the cavities being isolated from each other by means of an isolating valve (9). At least two intrinsic process cavities (3) are provided and are configured for deposition by means of an intrinsic layer silicon film process; and at least one doping process cavity (4) is provided and is configured for deposition by means of an N-type silicon film or P-type silicon film process. The preheating cavity (2) comprises a heating preheating chamber and a preheating buffer chamber that is configured for adjusting the gas and pressure atmosphere. The apparatus combines control over the gas proportion and the pressure, can process a plurality of solar cells at the same time, and improves the overall processing efficiency.

    摘要: The present invention is a method for manufacturing an epitaxial wafer by forming a single crystal silicon layer on a wafer containing a group IV element including silicon, the method including the steps of: removing a natural oxide film on a surface of the wafer containing the group IV element including silicon in an atmosphere containing hydrogen; forming an oxygen atomic layer by oxidizing the wafer after removing the natural oxide film; and forming a single crystal silicon by epitaxial growth on the surface of the wafer after forming the oxygen atomic layer, where a planar density of oxygen in the oxygen atomic layer is set to 4×10 14 atoms/cm 2 or less. This provides a method for manufacturing an epitaxial wafer having an epitaxial layer of good-quality single crystal silicon while also allowing the introduction of an oxygen atomic layer in an epitaxial layer stably and simply.
