Abstract

The invention discloses a method and device for semi-molten ingot casting of polycrystalline silicon. Crushed aggregates of the polycrystalline silicon are evenly laid at the bottom of a quartz crucible and then sequentially vacuumized and heated, and a heated fragment layer is obtained; the temperature of an ingot furnace heater rises, the power ratio of a top heater and a side heater is adjusted to let the bottom have continuous refrigerating capacity, and it is guaranteed that seed crystal is not molten; after the temperature is reduced, the power ratio of the top heater and the side heater is adjusted, the temperature is kept unchanged to grow crystal; the temperature of the ingot furnace heater continues to be reduced, the power ratio coefficient of the top heater and the side heater is adjusted to control the crystal growth speed to grow crystal; after the crystal grows, annealing and cooling are performed sequentially, and the semi-molten ingot casting of polycrystalline silicon is obtained. According to the method and device for semi-molten ingot casting of the polycrystalline silicon, the heater structure does not need to be changed, the operation is simple, and the goal of effectively discharging impurities and improving product quality can be achieved through specific process parameters.

Description

【Technical field】 [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of polysilicon preparation, and in particular relates to a polysilicon semi-melted ingot casting method and device. 【Background technique】 [0002] At present, in the photovoltaic industry technology industry, the solar polycrystalline ingot semi-melting process has been unanimously promoted by the market due to its advantages such as good crystal flowers, and the improvement of polycrystalline silicon ingot casting technology is one of the main ways to reduce battery costs. Impurities and oxygen contained in cast polysilicon will form hard spots and other impurities that will affect the conversion efficiency of solar cells. In the semi-melting process, because the side part is not completely melted, the impurities and oxygen in the raw materials are not effectively removed, resulting in the formation of hard spots during the ingot casting process, which has a great impact on the quality of the product. T...
