Embodiment 1

[0172] Figure 1~3 It is a figure explaining Example 1 of this invention. In this Example 1, the molten silicon is adjusted to a connected body suitable for molding, and a non-contact rotating roller is used, which shows a two-stage conveyor type device. Below the crucible furnace, in the molding area 22, the rotating drum 3, the molding head, and the adjusting head (annealing head) are arranged as a connecting body. The forming head and the adjusting head (annealing head) of the first embodiment are specifically the forming conveyor belt 5 and the adjusting conveyor belt 7 composed of the endless base material 11 .

[0173] Molten silicon 2 melted in a crucible, forming area under an argon atmosphere such as figure 1 As shown, from the supply port 21 of the molten silicon supply part 1 of the crucible, at a temperature of about 1440° C., the substrate 11 constituting the conveyor belt 5 functioning as a molding head is cast, and the argon gas that coats the surface of the s...

Embodiment 2

[0192] Figure 4 It is a figure explaining Example 2 of this invention. In Example 2, a spin coater-type apparatus including a contact rotary guide is used as a connected body for adjusting molten silicon to a state suitable for molding. In the crucible 41 , molten molten silicon 42 flows down from the supply port 43 in a non-contact state along the guide rail 44 between the stopper and non-contact guide rail 44 and the non-contact temperature adjustment sleeve 53 . In this guide rail 44, the upper stopper portion is made of silica, and the lower guide rail portion is made of cordierite that ejects and discharges an inert gas.

[0193] In this Example 2, the main part of the silicon substrate molding area 58 is composed of the non-contact spin coater substrate 47 set on the support plate 50 of the spin coater which is rotated by the rotation shaft 51 of the spin coater. . Inside the rotating shaft 51 of the spin coater, a non-contact rail rotating shaft 52 is arranged coaxi...

Embodiment 3

[0203] Figure 5 It is a figure explaining Example 3 of this invention. In this embodiment, as a connection body for adjusting molten silicon to a state suitable for molding, a one-stage head-type device including a constant-pressure molten silicon storage tank is used. The device includes a melting zone 71 , a supply zone 72 and a forming zone 73 .

[0204] The melting zone 71 basically includes a silicon melting furnace 74 and a silicon melting crucible 75, and the melted silicon 76 in the crucible is stored at a certain temperature above the melting point.

[0205] The supply area 72 basically includes a molten silicon supply nozzle 77 and a valve 78 for adjusting the amount of molten silicon to be supplied. Ball valves, cone valves, butterfly valves, etc. can be appropriately selected for valves, and the material used must be selected to have a small reaction with high-temperature silicon. In addition, although not shown in the figure, the valve has a member that is con...

Abstract

In a fabrication zone where a silicon ribbon 12 is manufactured from molten silicon under an inactive gaseous atmosphere, a fabrication belt conveyer (fabrication bed) 5 composed of a feeding substrate 11 is arranged. The substrate is supplied with molten silicon 2 from a crucible furnace through a rotating roller 3 which adjusts the molten silicon into a state suitable for fabrication. The substrate 11 is provided with a plurality of gas ejecting pores and gas evacuating pores for ejecting and evacuating a gas with respect to a silicon ribbon 4 being fabricated from the molten silicon 2 from below the silicon ribbon. While stably maintaining the fabricated silicon ribbon 4 on the gas by the dynamic pressure balanced state of the gas being ejected and the gas being evacuated, and while forming a coating on a silicon surface by a reactive material and the like contained in the gas, tensile stress is applied in direction parallel to the surface of the fabricated silicon ribbon 4 and a silicon ribbon 12 is fabricated.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a manufacturing apparatus, a manufacturing method, and a silicon substrate used for a silicon substrate or the like used in a solar cell or the like. Background technique [0002] Silicon substrates for solar cells (hereinafter referred to as "Si substrates") are broadly classified into monocrystalline silicon and polycrystalline silicon. [0003] The single crystal Si substrate can be manufactured by either the Czochraski method or the belt fusion method, but the former is the mainstream. The obtained Si single crystal ingot was sliced ​​to form Si substrates. Single crystal Si substrates have high photoelectric conversion efficiency, but the manufacturing cost of single crystals is high, and about 50% of silicon is lost by slicing the ingot, so the supply of Si substrates is insufficient for the rapidly increasing demand for solar cells . [0004] As a more effective method for manufacturing single-crystal Si subst...
