Abstract

The invention relates to a method for smelting and purifying backing material of a monocrystalline pot by electron beams. The method comprises the following steps of respectively charging the backing material of the monocrystalline pot into a material bin, a smelting crucible, a material delivery cart and five condensing crucibles; after material charging is completed, sucking vacuum out of an electron beam furnace, and preheating three electron guns when the vacuum degree is smaller than 0.5Pa; enabling the power of each of the three electron guns to continue to maintain for 250kW, and smelting silicon material; closing two electron guns which radiate to the smelting crucibles, pouring out the silicon liquid, and maintaining the power of the electronic gun radiating the condensing crucible to 250kW after the pouring is finished; finally, enabling the electron guns to maintain for 10min at the power of 250kW, 2min at the power of 200kW, 3min at the power of 150kW, 5min at the power of 120kW, 7min at the power of 100kW, 10min at the power of 80kW, 15min at the power of 50kW, 20min at the power of 30kW, and 25min at the power of 20kW, and condensing the electron beams at the power of 0kW. The method has the advantages that the metal impurities can be effectively removed, the removal rate reaches 98% or above, and the minority carrier lifetime in the produced polycrystalline cast ingot can be effectively prolonged; the condition is mild, and the operation is easy.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of electron beam smelting, in particular to a method for purifying single crystal pot bottom material by electron beam smelting. Background technique [0002] The monocrystalline pot bottom material produced by Czochralski monocrystalline silicon rods in the industry contains a relatively high concentration of metal impurities. At present, due to the continuous increase in the investment of solar cells, the demand for silicon materials is increasing, and the reuse of single crystal pot bottom materials is also continuing. However, due to the presence of high-concentration metal impurities in the single crystal pot bottom material, the polycrystalline silicon ingot produced by using it has a low minority carrier life. Therefore, there is a need for a method that can effectively remove metal impurities in the single crystal pot bottom material. Contents of the invention [0003] The purpose of the present ...
