Welcome to Jinko Solar's Cell Manufacturing Facility
hello everyone i'm dr cho from the technical department of jingko sangra now we are in front of the cell 1 workshop this workshop has 13 production lines and with annual capacity of 5.8 gigawatts it produces 182 millimeter per cell right now and have room for the untyped cell upgradation
let's follow me and go inside to see some cold processes
the first thing we need to do before entering the workshop is to putting on the cleaning's clothes and the shoes also face mask then we will go through the air washing room clean air will blow away the dust and particle from outside environment in order to maintain the cleaning slab of their workshop
first study sold out wafers will be shipped to this room where they will be loaded to the agv through moving belts then the agv will automatically take the wafers to the first process later you will see that for most every step agv are used making this workshop one of the most advanced fully automatic high efficient one in the pv industry
Initial Cell Processing Steps
here let me show you the first step of cell processing the texturing process
Texturing Process
the main purpose of tertiary is to form a pyramid service on mono wafer to reduce the light reflection and in the same time to remove the salt damage layer from wafer slicing
now you can see the process of phosphorus diffusion during this process we form an n-type emitter by doping phosphorus into the wafer using high temperature furnace and parkour as precursor you could imagine the wafer is positive part and the emitter is the negative part then we have an internal electrical field to separate the electrons and the holes
Laser Selective Emitter
next i will introduce the laser selective emitter we use laser as an energy source and the psg layer as phosphorus source to form locally heavy doped area to ensure good contact with metallization
Surface Treatment and Preservation
this process is called chain oxidation
Chain Oxidation
a dense acai layer is formed on the surface after ac process by chain oxidation which can protect the heavy doped area and prevent the corrosion during alkali polishing
afterwards this process is called alkali polish
Alkali Polish
first we use hf chemical to remove psg layer on the real side then we use koh chemical to polish the real size service of silicon wafer prepared for preservation layer deposition
afterwards this process is called thermal oxidation
Thermal Oxidation
we use high temperature furnace with oxygen atmosphere to form thin outside on the wafer which improve the preservation quality and reduce the surface concentration of phosphorus at the same time
Advanced Preservation and Metallization Preparation
now we are at side preservation process
Rear Side Preservation
we use plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition method with silent ammonia tma as precursors to depth the aluminum oxide silicon nitride stack thin films on the real side which result in an excellent service preservation quality this process step is the key for perk sale and currently this structure is commonly been used in the industry
next process is called pcbd
Front Side PCVD
this process is similar to railside preservation process step it also uses plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition method and only dab the nitrite thin film on the front side to reduce the light reflection and improve the preservation quality at the same time
now we are at laser opening
Laser Opening
we use laser as energy source to open the rear side preservation layer for metallization content
Final Cell Assembly and Quality Control
afterwards you can see screen printing process here
Screen Printing
the both side metallization is complete by the screen printing technology with silver aluminum pads to form front side and rear side pattern the pads lay down and the pattern design are crucial for the performance and quality control also cost balance we have our know-how inside
this process is called fast firing
Fast Firing
the contact between the metallization path and silicon wafer is formed during this process with peak temperature above 700 degrees c
follow me to see the process of electrical generation
Electrical Generation
with the electrical current injection the hydrogen atom tends to passivate the defect on the interface and the second bug
finally every cell will go through the appearance inspection and the el iv testing then sorted into different categories for further module assembly
the sale quality controlled strictly through these inspections and the testing tools automatically
Manufacturing Excellence and Automation
above you have been shown briefly the whole process of cell manufacturing the whole workshop is a large clean room the highest kalining level area reaches 1k which is tier 1 in the industry
this workshop is currently the most advanced fully automatic fully process monitored and intelligent workshop in the industry the direct labor is reduced by 36 percent as compared to peers and the labor efficiency reaches 7.1 megawatt per person per year which is again the highest in the industry at the same time we are the first company to introduce an automatic material handling system and automatically timing dispatch system
