Abstract: This invention discloses a process of phosphorus diffusion for manufacturing solar cell, comprising annealing a mono-crystalline silicon wafer in a nitrogen atmosphere at 900-950° C. for twenty to thirty minutes, carrying oxidation treatment in a hydrogen chloride atmosphere at 850-1050° C. to form a 10 to 30 nm thick oxide layer on the surface of said silicon wafer, diffusing from a phosphorus source at 850-900° C., until a block resistance of a material surface is controlled at 40 to 50 ohms, and the junction depth is at 0.2 to 1.0 microns, and annealing in a nitrogen atmosphere at 700-750° C. for thirty to sixty minutes to complete the phosphorus diffusion of said mono-crystalline silicon wafer. This invention allows the use of 4 N˜5 N mono-crystalline silicon as the material for manufacturing solar cells, so, the low purity material such as metallurgical silicon can be used, which greatly reduces the cost of materials.
