Abstract
Description
TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present application belongs to the technical field of chlorosilane purification, and particularly relates to an adsorbent for chlorosilane purification, and a method and system for chlorosilane purification using the adsorbent. BACKGROUND
[0002] Chlorosilane is a main raw material in the production process of polysilicon, and contains many types and amounts of impurities. Non-metallic impurities mainly include boron, phosphorus and carbon, and metallic impurities mainly include iron, chromium, nickel, copper, zinc and sodium.
[0003] Boron and phosphorus impurities are two types of impurities that are difficult to remove in the production process of polysilicon. The two types of impurities remaining in polysilicon can reduce the minority carrier lifetime as a recombination center, and affect the conversion efficiency of solar cells. Similarly, the presence of metallic impurities can seriously affect the quality of polysilicon products. Metallic impurities generally exist in the form of interstitial state, substitution state, complex or precipitation, often introduce additional electrons or holes, change the carrier concentration of the silicon wafer, and can also become a recombination center to greatly reduce the minority carrier lifetime. In addition, due to the presence of a large number of defects such as dislocations in polysilicon, metallic impurities are prone to form metallic precipitates at these defects, causing serious damage to the performance of the silicon wafer.
[0004] At present, the technology for purifying chlorosilane in the industry is mostly multi-stage rectification technology. However, this technology has the problems of high energy consumption and high investment, which can cause a certain degree of pressure on the operation and production of enterprises. In order to solve this problem, a few enterprises have tried to purify chlorosilane by combining rectification technology with adsorption technology. The key of this technology is the selection of adsorbent. These enterprises have tried to use resin as an adsorbent to adsorb impurities in chlorosilane. However, due to the inability to effectively control the cleanliness of the resin itself, the resin can contaminate the chlorosilane material, thereby affecting the purity of the purified chlorosilane. In addition, the resin not only has high procurement cost, but also has the risk of thermal decomposition at high temperature during operation as an adsorbent, which can cause certain safety hazards to the safe and stable operation of the technology. SUMMARY
[0005] The technical problem to be solved by the present application is to provide an adsorbent for chlorosilane purification, and a method and system for chlorosilane purification using the adsorbent, which can effectively remove phosphorus impurities, boron impurities and metallic impurities in chlorosilane, improve the purity of chlorosilane, and avoid the problems of ineffective control of the cleanliness of resin adsorbent, high cost and risk of thermal decomposition compared with traditional technologies.

Since a large number of surface silicon hydroxyl groups exist on the pore walls of the mesoporous molecular sieves, chlorophenyl groups, geminal amino oxime groups, pyrrozine groups and the like can be introduced into the pore walls (surfaces and interiors) of the mesoporous molecular sieves, the selectivity and adsorbability of the adsorbent for boron impurities are increased, and the boron impurities in chlorosilane can be effectively removed. In addition, the number of organic functional groups introduced into the adsorbent can be controlled by adjusting the number of silicon hydroxyl groups, so as to increase the saturated adsorption capacity of the adsorbent.
