Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the technical field of nano - scale silica sol synthesis. Specifically, it relates to a production process and device for preparing high - purity silica sol from the by - product of polysilicon crushing powder. Background Art

[0002] Silica sol is a colloidal solution formed by the uniform dispersion of amorphous silica in water. Because of its characteristics such as controllable particle size, moderate hardness, low viscosity, low adhesiveness, and easy cleaning after polishing, it is widely used in CMP polishing. As the main component of CMP polishing liquid, its purity determines the quality of CMP polishing liquid. And the polishing of semiconductor silicon wafers, fine polishing of silicon carbide substrates, and conductive layers in semiconductor processes have higher requirements for purity. Metal ions such as Na, Fe, Al, Ca, Mg, Cu, Pb, etc. will cause defects on the surface of the wafer, thus affecting the performance of semiconductors.

[0003] Currently, the processes for preparing silica sol mainly include silane hydrolysis method, elemental silicon hydrolysis method, and ion exchange method. Using organosilane as the silicon source and water and alcohol as solvents, high - purity silica sol with extremely low metal impurity content can be obtained. However, this method has high raw material prices, high safety risks in industrial production, and great industrialization difficulties. Therefore, industrial production is still basically monopolized by Japanese Fuso. The ion exchange method using water glass as the raw material is not suitable for preparing high - purity silica sol because the content of iron, aluminum, etc. in the raw material itself is relatively high and it is difficult to remove in subsequent processing.

[0004] The silicon powder hydrolysis process uses elemental silicon as the raw material and mainly uses strong alkalis such as NaOH and KOH as catalysts to obtain silica sol. The purity of the raw material silicon powder determines the purity of the silica sol. Currently, the content of metal impurities such as Fe, Al, Ca, Mg, etc. in ordinary industrial silicon powder is relatively high, and directly using high - purity polysilicon has an extremely high price. Therefore, developing a high - purity silicon powder raw material with low cost for preparing high - purity silica sol meets the market demand and has important market value.

[0005] Polysilicon is an important electronic material, widely used in the semiconductor industry and the photovoltaic industry. It can be divided into electronic - grade polysilicon and solar - grade polysilicon according to purity. Currently, the silicon materials produced by polysilicon production enterprises are all rod - shaped polysilicon with a diameter of 300 - 500 mm. In the subsequent application process of polysilicon, whether it is polycrystalline ingot casting or single - crystal pulling, polysilicon needs to be broken into blocks or smaller particles. In the process of polysilicon crushing, a fine powder by - product with a particle size below 3 mm will be generated. This part of the powder has a relatively fine particle size, different morphologies, and uneven particle size, but it has high purity. It has a huge price advantage compared with the genuine polysilicon. How to make good use of this powder to prepare silica sol with high purity and uniform particle size is of extremely important significance. Summary of the Invention

[0052] The basic principle of this embodiment: Smelt the by-products of polysilicon crushed powder through the intermediate frequency furnace 100 to obtain high-purity silicon blocks, crush the high-purity silicon blocks into high-purity silicon powder with the particle size required for preparing silica sol of different particle sizes, and use it to prepare high-purity silica sol, which reduces the production cost and can be produced in large quantities.

[0053] Among them, in the step S1, Si in the by-products of polysilicon crushed powder is ≥99%.

[0054] Among them, in the smelting of the by-products of polysilicon crushed powder, the set temperature is 1650 - 1750 °C, the weight ratio of the flux to the by-products of polysilicon crushed powder is 1:80 - 100, and the set smelting time of the by-products of polysilicon crushed powder is 1 - 2 h.

[0055] Among them, in the step S2, the material of the crushing equipment 300 is tungsten carbide, and the set particle size of the silicon powder crushing is 30 - 325 mesh.

[0056] Among them, the set particle size of the silicon powder crushing is two particle size types of 30 - 100 mesh and 200 - 325 mesh.

[0057] Among them, the resistivity of the high-purity water used in the step S3 is 18.2 MΩ.cm, the catalyst used is of superior grade purity, the types of catalysts are potassium hydroxide or ammonia water, the temperature A is 40 - 95 °C, the temperature B is 85 - 100 °C, the weight ratio of silicon powder to high-purity water is 1:1.5 - 2.5, and the equipment for solid-liquid separation is a plate-and-frame filter press 500 and a tubular centrifuge 600.

[0058] More specifically, the following are two specific implementation manners: Example

[0059] Add the by-product of polysilicon crushed powder into the medium-frequency furnace 100, add a certain amount of flux, start the medium-frequency furnace 100, heat it to 1700 °C by induction heating technology to melt the silicon powder. At high temperature, the silicon powder is separated from the impurities inside. Pour the separated silicon into the mold 200 to cool and break it into pieces. Crush the silicon blocks obtained from smelting into 200 - 325 mesh. Add high-purity water to prepare a slurry for standby, and the ratio of the silicon powder to the high-purity water used is 1:2.

[0060] Add 5000 parts of high-purity water to the reaction kettle 400, heat it to 50 - 60 °C, start the stirring of the reaction kettle 400, add 60 parts of superior-grade pure potassium hydroxide to the reaction kettle 400, stir for 10 - 20 min, add the prepared silicon powder slurry into the reaction kettle 400 at a frequency of 30 HZ, and the silicon powder added to the reaction kettle 400 is calculated as 450 parts in terms of dry silicon powder. Turn on the cooling water and spray device, control the reaction temperature between 90 - 95 °C, react for 5 h, discharge the material for plate-and-frame filtration and centrifuge centrifugation, and concentrate to a content of 20%. The silica sol prepared by this reaction is a potassium-type silica sol with a small particle size, the product particle size is 6 nm, and other heavy metals are < 100 ppb. The products of this process can be used for medium polishing of silicon wafers and chips. The products are as Figure 2 shown. Example

[0061] Add the by-product powder crushed from polysilicon into the medium-frequency furnace 100, add a certain amount of flux, start the medium-frequency furnace 100, heat it to 1700 °C by induction heating technology to melt the silicon powder. At high temperature, the silicon powder is separated from the impurities inside. Pour the separated silicon into the mold 200 to cool and break it into pieces. Crush the silicon blocks obtained from smelting into 30 - 100 mesh, add 20 parts of superior-grade pure ammonia water to 180 parts of high-purity water, and prepare a dilute solution A of ammonia water.

[0062] Add 3000 parts of high-purity water and 20 parts of super-grade pure ammonia water into the reactor 400, heat to 90 - 92 °C, start the stirring of the reactor 400, add 280 parts of silicon powder, react at a constant temperature of 95 ± 2 °C for 2 h, uniformly dropwise add A, and the dropping time is 30 h. After dropping the ammonia water, continue to react for 10 h, discharge the material, carry out plate-and-frame pressure filtration, centrifugation, and concentrate to form 40% high-purity ammonia-type silica sol. The silica sol prepared by this reaction is high-purity ammonia-type silica sol, the product particle size is about 50 nm, the particle size distribution is uniform, the alkali metal in the silica sol obtained by this reaction is < 300 ppb, the heavy metal is < 100 ppb, and the purity can reach the same level as that of Japanese Fuso, and it can be used for the fine polishing of semiconductors. Products such as Figure 3 and Figure 4 shown.

[0063] The particle sizes of the by-products of polysilicon crushed powder are uneven and the shapes are non-uniform, such as Figure 5 . Directly using the by-products of polysilicon crushed powder to produce silica sol, the particle sizes of the obtained silica sol are uneven, and the stability between batches is poor, which cannot meet the normal market demand, and the conversion rate of the product is low. After the reaction, there will be a large amount of unreacted flaky powder, such as Figure 6 , which is speculated to be related to the crystal structure. The present invention can effectively control the particle size of the required high-purity silicon powder, and the purity of the silicon powder can be further improved through smelting technology. After smelting, the conversion rate of the product of the silicon powder is significantly improved, and after smelting and crushing, the particle size of the silicon powder is controllable, such as Figure 7 , with high purity. Different particle size silica sol products can be prepared through different processes, which greatly meets the requirements of different polishing liquids for the particle size of silica sol, and the process is controllable, the product has good stability, and the conversion rate is high.
