Title:
METHOD FOR SURFACE-TREATING SEMICONDUCTOR SUBSTRATE, SEMICONDUCTOR SUBSTRATE, AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SOLAR BATTERY
Document Type and Number:
WIPO Patent Application WO/2012/002440
Kind Code:
A1
Abstract:
Provided is a method for surface-treating a semiconductor substrate to thereby reduce loss of minority carriers caused by surface recombination and improve the lifetime, said surface-treatment method comprising a hydrogen treatment step for hydrogen-terminating dangling bonds on the surface of the conductor substrate, and a hot water-treatment step for contacting the surface of said semiconductor substrate, the dangling bonds of which have been hydrogen-terminated as described above, with hot water containing an acid additive and an alkali additive and having a pH value equal to or lower than 7.
