Problems solved by technology

However, silicon crystal is a material with high hardness and high brittleness. During the diamond wire cutting process, defects such as edge chipping, silicon falling and process loss are prone to occur, accounting for 3%-4% of the total loss of silicon wafers, seriously affecting silicon wafers. The yield rate and the production cost of the cell
The main reason for the above-mentioned defects in silicon wafers is that the surface of silicon rods is prone to micro cracks or stress concentration to cause silicon wafer gaps, which induce edge chipping, silicon falling and debris.

Embodiment 1

[0026] like figure 1 As shown, this embodiment provides a method for cutting a silicon rod. The silicon rod is sliced ​​after surface oxidation treatment. The surface of the silicon rod is oxidized before slicing, so that a dense oxide film is formed on the surface of the silicon rod. The oxide film can repair the defects on the surface of the silicon rod, and the hardness of the oxide film is low, which can protect and buffer the silicon rod. It plays the role of passivation, thereby reducing the generation and expansion of surface cracks, and improving the fracture resistance of silicon rods. During the slicing process, the force of diamond wire cutting is not enough to cause chipping and silicon drop And other defects, reduce process loss, reduce the proportion of silicon wafer chipping, and improve the yield of processed silicon wafers.

Embodiment 3

[0047] This embodiment provides a silicon rod cutting method, which is roughly the same as the silicon rod cutting method in Embodiment 1. The difference from Embodiment 1 and Embodiment 2 is that in this embodiment, the silicon rod is in air or oxygen. high temperature oxidation.

[0048] Silicon rod 5 can be placed in air or oxygen for high-temperature oxidation. The higher reaction temperature can compensate for the oxidation of air or oxygen. When silicon rod 5 is oxidized at high temperature in air or oxygen, the oxidation time of silicon rod 5 is 0.01min -60min, the oxidation temperature is 600°C-1400°C. Specifically, the oxidation time of silicon rod 5 can be 0.01min, 10min, 20min, 30min, 40min, 50min, 60min, and the oxidation time is preferably 30min; the oxidation temperature can be 600°C, 680°C, 760°C, 840°C, 920°C , 1000°C, 1080°C, 1160°C, 1240°C, 1320°C, 1400°C, the oxidation temperature is preferably 840°C.

Abstract

The invention discloses a silicon rod cutting method. A silicon rod is sliced after being subjected to surface oxidization treatment. In the silicon rod cutting method, the silicon rod is subjected tosurface oxidization treatment before being sliced, a layer of compact oxidation film is formed on the surface of the silicon rod, and the oxidation film can repair the defects on the surface of the silicon rod. The hardness of the oxidation film is low, the functions of protection and buffer can be achieved on the silicon rod, a passivation effect can be achieved, and therefore generation and expansion of surface cracks are reduced, and the breaking resisting strength of the silicon rod is improved. In the slicing process, the acting force of diamond wire cutting is not enough for generatingthe defects such as collapsing and silicon falling to the edges of silicon slices, the manufacturing loss is reduced, the proportion of silicon slice collapsing is reduced, and the yield of the processed silicon slices is improved.
