Abstract

The invention provides a method for laser purification of a polycrystalline silicon wafer, and relates to polycrystalline silicon wafers. And the method for laser purification of the polycrystalline silicon wafer provided by the invention has higher efficiency, simple process and less pollution. The method comprises the steps of cleaning a polycrystalline silicon wafer, drying, and placing on a heating platform for preheating; carrying out laser irradiation on the preheated polycrystalline silicon wafer; carrying out irradiation scanning treatment on the treated polycrystalline silicon wafer;annealing the polycrystalline silicon wafer; and etching the surface part of the polycrystalline silicon wafer to obtain a target product. Mass spectrometric analysis shows that the iron content in partial region of the polycrystalline silicon wafer can be reduced by 2-3 orders of magnitude at one time; and the purified polycrystalline silicon wafer can be directly applied to solar cells and the like. The method can be used for directly processing low-purity polycrystalline silicon wafers, can reduce the recycling process of the low-purity silicon in the silicon industry, can realize mass continuous production, and can reduce the phosphorus content in the polycrystalline silicon wafer by laser-melting the silicon wafer and solidifying.
