DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

[0045] In order to make the above objects, features, and advantages of the present invention clearer and more intelligible, the specific examples of the present invention will be detailed below in combination with drawings. It should be noted that the examples below are used only to illustrate the implementation method and typical parameters of the present invention rather than to limit the parameter range of the present invention. Any reasonable change derived therefrom will still fall within the scope of protection of the claims of the present invention.

[0046] It should be noted that the endpoints and any values of the ranges disclosed herein are not limited to such accurate ranges or values. These ranges or values should be understood as including values close to these ranges or values. For the numerical ranges, mutual combination can be performed between the endpoint values of each range, between an endpoint value of each range and an individual point value, and between individual point values to form one or more new numerical ranges. These numerical ranges shall be considered as specifically disclosed herein.

[0047] A specific example of the present invention provides a transparent laminated passivation film structure, with its typical structure as shown in FIG. 1, which includes a first passivation layer 2, a second passivation layer 3, and a third passivation layer 4 sequentially laminated on a surface of a silicon substrate 1.

[0048] The material of the first passivation layer 2 is a hydrogenated silicon oxide film, and its main components are silicon, oxygen, and hydrogen. The hydrogen concentration in the first passivation layer 2 is greater than 110.sup.19 cm.sup.3, and the typical hydrogen concentration ranges from 110.sup.19 cm.sup.3 to 110.sup.22 cm.sup.3. The thickness of the first passivation layer 2 is above 1 nm, with a typical thickness range of 1-20 nm and a preferred thickness range of 1-2 nm. The transmittance of the first passivation layer 2 at wavelengths above 400 nm is more than 97%, and the absorption coefficient k value decreases to near zero at wavelengths above 500 nm, which has extremely low optical absorption characteristics.

[0049] The material of the second passivation layer 3 is one selected from a hydrogenated silicon carbon nitride film, a hydrogenated silicon carbide film, a hydrogenated silicon nitride film, a hydrogenated silicon carbon nitride oxide film, a hydrogenated silicon carbide oxide film, and a hydrogenated silicon nitride oxide film, and its main components are silicon, hydrogen, nitrogen, and/or carbon, and it may also contain oxygen. The thickness of the second passivation layer 3 is above 3 nm, with a typical thickness range of 3-50 nm and a preferred thickness range of 5-20 nm. The proportion of carbon, nitrogen, and other elements in the second passivation layer 3 can be adjusted, and its refractive index ranges from 1.0 to 5.0, which can be adjusted according to the composition. The hydrogen concentration in the second passivation layer 3 is greater than 110.sup.19 cm.sup.3, and the typical concentration ranges from 110.sup.19 cm.sup.3 to 110.sup.22 cm.sup.3. The transmittance of the second passivation layer 3 at wavelengths above 400 nm is more than 97%, and the absorption coefficient k value decreases to near zero at wavelengths above 500 nm, which has extremely low optical absorption characteristics.

[0050] The third passivation layer 4 is a hydrogen-rich dielectric layer or a combination thereof, including but not limited to hydrogenated aluminum oxide, hydrogenated silicon nitride, hydrogenated silicon oxide, or a composite laminated film thereof. The hydrogen concentration of the third passivation layer 4 ranges from 110.sup.19 cm.sup.3 to 110.sup.22 cm.sup.3.

[0051] The near surface and bulk region of the silicon substrate 1 contain a hydrogen element and at least one of a nitrogen element and a carbon element, and the concentration of the corresponding elements gradually decreases from the surface to the body. In the surface area below the first passivation layer 2, the nitrogen concentration is generally higher than 110.sup.19 cm.sup.3, and the typical concentration ranges from 110.sup.19 cm.sup.3 to 110.sup.22 cm.sup.3, usually exceeding 110.sup.21 cm.sup.3. The carbon concentration is generally higher than 110.sup.19 cm.sup.3, and the typical concentration ranges from 110.sup.19 cm.sup.3 to 110.sup.22 cm.sup.3, usually exceeding 110.sup.21 cm.sup.3. The hydrogen concentration is generally higher than 110.sup.19 cm.sup.3, and the typical concentration ranges from 110.sup.19 cm.sup.3 to 110.sup.21 cm.sup.3, usually exceeding 110.sup.20 cm.sup.3. The introduction of carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, and other elements into the near surface of a silicon wafer can improve the mechanical properties of the silicon wafer. Carbon and nitrogen atoms can effectively capture hydrogen atoms and inject them into the substrate and interface to passivate more defect states.

[0052] Referring to FIG. 2, a typical preparation method of the transparent laminated passivation film structure includes the following steps: [0053] S1, performing standard RCA cleaning, developed by the Radio Corporation of America, on a silicon substrate. [0054] S2, preparing a silicon oxide film on a surface of the silicon substrate, where the preparation method includes a wet chemical method, a plasma-assisted oxidation method, a thermal oxidation method, an ozone gas oxidation method, and the like. [0055] S3, depositing an amorphous silicon film containing carbon and/or nitrogen elements on the silicon oxide film, where the typical preparation method is an in-situ PECVD method, and the deposition temperature range is 100 C.-600 C. [0056] S4, carrying out high-temperature annealing treatment, where the typical temperature range is 600 C.-1200 C., and the protective atmosphere is nitrogen, so as to crystallize amorphous silicon and push carbon atoms and/or nitrogen atoms into the silicon substrate. [0057] S5, depositing one or a laminated film of more selected from aluminum oxide, silicon nitride, and silicon oxide on the polycrystalline silicon film. [0058] S6, carrying out hydrogen injection treatment. Preferably, annealing treatment is adopted for hydrogenation; the treatment temperature is 300 C.-1000 C., and the protective atmosphere contains inert gas such as nitrogen, preferably a mixed gas of nitrogen and hydrogen.

[0059] According to the preparation method, carbon and nitrogen atoms can be introduced into the silicon wafer bulk, and more hydrogen atoms can be captured at the interface. The transparent laminated passivation film structure achieves excellent surface passivation effect and bulk passivation effect; the saturation current density can be reduced to 0.2 fA/cm.sup.2 on the surface of the silicon wafer, and the minority carrier life of the n-type silicon wafer bulk can be prolonged to more than 15 ms.

[0060] The transparent laminated passivation film structure is suitable for silicon-based semiconductor devices, and the preparation method is completely compatible with the prior battery production line technology. Other transparent dielectric films can be superimposed on the passivation film structure to form a more complex layer structure to improve the performance of the device.

[0061] The technical schemes and technical effects of the present invention will be further described by specific examples.
