Problems solved by technology

[0011] In short, the impact of splashing is the loss of a large amount of silicon material on the one hand, and the ablation of the vacuum chamber shell and even the components inside the vacuum chamber on the other hand.
At the same time, the generated spatter will bring inconvenience to the regular cavity cleaning work

Abstract

The invention belongs to the field of electron beam smelting, and in particular relates to a method for reducing the splashing of silicon liquid in a polycrystalline silicon electron beam smelting process. The method comprises the steps of material preparation, vacuumizing, pretreatment and smelting, wherein after the pretreatment step, the following steps are performed: (1) adjusting electron beam current, and heating and melting a silicon material; (2) adjusting electron beam spots to spirally move towards the circle center of a crucible along the upper edge of the inner wall of the crucible, causing the electron beam spots to reversely spirally move after the electron beam spots move to the circle center of the crucible, and repeating the spiral movement; (3) after the movement of the electron beam spots is completed, performing electron beam smelting. The method has the remarkable effects that silicon material loss caused by the splashing of the silicon liquid can be reduced, ablation in a vacuum cavity can be reduced, the hidden danger of stopping of an electron gun in case of sudden changes in pressure in the vacuum cavity caused by the splashing of the silicon liquid can be avoided, and a process is simple and easy to operate.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of electron beam smelting, and in particular relates to a method for reducing silicon liquid splashing during polysilicon electron beam smelting. Background technique [0002] In a society where energy is scarce and low-carbon environmental protection is advocated, solar energy, as an environmentally friendly new energy, has great application value. Solar cells can convert solar energy into electrical energy. Solar-grade polycrystalline silicon materials are the most important basic raw materials for manufacturing solar cells, but their high manufacturing costs and complicated manufacturing processes are the bottlenecks that restrict the development of the photovoltaic industry, which seriously hinders the development of solar cells in my country. promotion and use. [0003] At present, the main technical routes for preparing solar-grade polysilicon materials worldwide include: improved Siemens method, silane method, ...
