[0002] The manufacturing process of silicon wafers used in solar panels is divided into several steps: crystal pulling, truncation, squaring, grinding, and slicing. Crystal pulling is to generate cylindrical single-crystal silicon rods in a crystal pulling furnace by chemical deposition, with a maximum length of 6 meters; truncation refers to cutting the single-crystal silicon rods pulled out of the crystal into small sections of varying lengths (100-700mm); squaring refers to cutting the truncated single-crystal silicon rods of different lengths into rectangular shapes, producing four irregularly shaped (arc-shaped cross-sections ⌒) residual materials (called edge skins in the industry); grinding refers to the process of grinding and polishing the four surfaces of the rectangular single-crystal silicon rods after squaring with a grinding tool, and rounding the four edges. Slicing refers to cutting the ground rectangular single-crystal silicon rods into silicon wafers about 0.15mm thick for the final production of solar panels.
