Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention relates to the field of chemical technology, specifically to a monitoring system for the growth of trichlorosilane hydrogen-reduced polycrystalline silicon that integrates multi-source data. Background Technology

[0002] In the production process of polycrystalline silicon using the trichlorosilane (TCS) hydrogen reduction method, the precision of process control directly affects product quality and production efficiency. Traditional technologies mainly rely on operator experience and single-point sensor monitoring, which makes it difficult to capture the complex dynamic changes within the reaction system in real time. Issues such as uneven temperature gradient distribution, pressure fluctuations, or raw material imbalances can easily lead to unstable polycrystalline silicon deposition rates, reaction system instability, and low raw material utilization. For example, relying solely on intermittent manual sampling and analysis of exhaust gas composition cannot promptly reflect deviations in key parameters during the reaction process; data from a single temperature or pressure sensor is also insufficient to comprehensively characterize the overall state of the reaction system. These technical bottlenecks not only restrict the precise control of the production rhythm but can also cause polycrystalline silicon grain defects and decreased uniformity due to drastic reaction fluctuations, severely impacting the yield of electronic or photovoltaic products. Furthermore, insufficient raw material conversion efficiency can lead to unreacted TCS escaping with the exhaust gas, increasing material losses and environmental treatment costs. To address the aforementioned issues, there is an urgent need for a monitoring system that can integrate data from multiple sensor sources, analyze the dynamic characteristics of the reaction system in real time, and possess intelligent decision-making capabilities, in order to achieve precise control over the polycrystalline silicon growth process.

[0072] The growth process data analysis module receives the preprocessed data and performs polysilicon deposition rate analysis. The calculation formula is as follows:

[0073]

[0074] In the formula, This indicates the polycrystalline silicon deposition rate, expressed in micrometers per minute. This indicates the thickness of polysilicon deposited per unit time. The rate constant represents the reaction rate and is related to reaction conditions and catalysts, etc. It is usually obtained through experimental fitting. The molar flow rate of trichlorosilane (TCS) is expressed in moles per minute (mol / min), representing the number of moles of TCS entering the reaction zone per unit time.

This indicates the reaction pressure setpoint (unit: MPa, process reference parameter). , These represent the weights of temperature fluctuations and pressure fluctuations, respectively. + =1, based on process experience, pressure fluctuations have a greater impact on reaction stability than temperature fluctuations, therefore, a higher weight is assigned to the reaction system stability index. The value range is [0,1], and the stability index of the reaction system is... The closer the value is to 1, the more stable the reaction system is.

[0079] The advantage is that, based on the stability index of the above reaction system...

A stability index within the range of 0.85-0.95 (electronic grade) or 0.80-0.90 (photovoltaic grade) indicates a stable reaction state; when the stability index of the reaction system is within the range of 0.85-0.95 (electronic grade), it indicates a stable reaction state. When the value is below 0.8 (photovoltaic grade) or 0.85 (electronic grade), the process parameter control mechanism is automatically triggered. By fine-tuning the heating power and the opening of the exhaust valve, fluctuations are suppressed, thereby reducing polycrystalline silicon defects (such as impurity doping and loose structure) caused by reaction instability.

[0080] The growth process data analysis module is responsible for calculating the trichlorosilane conversion rate from the preprocessed data. The calculation formula is as follows:

(derived from conversion) This indicates the concentration of unreacted trichlorosilane in the exhaust gas after pretreatment (unit: mol / L, from the exhaust gas component acquisition unit).

[0083] The advantage is that, through the above-mentioned trichlorosilane conversion rate... The calculations are used to evaluate the raw material utilization rate and reaction efficiency, when the trichlorosilane conversion rate... Maintain the current hydrogen-to-raw material ratio within the range of 85%–92% (electronic grade) or 80%–88% (photovoltaic grade); when the trichlorosilane conversion rate... When the content is below 80% (photovoltaic grade) or 85% (electronic grade), the conversion of raw materials can be promoted by increasing the hydrogen flow rate (increasing the driving force of the reduction reaction) or optimizing the temperature distribution, thereby achieving the beneficial effects of reducing raw material consumption and reducing tail gas treatment costs.

[0093] (2) Serious deviation: When a single indicator exceeds the preset range by 5% to 10% (e.g., electronic conversion rate of 80% to 83%) and lasts for 5 to 15 minutes, or when two indicators exceed the preset range, it is judged as a serious deviation, indicating that the reaction system has significant fluctuations (e.g., unstable hydrogen flow rate, abnormal local temperature).

[0094] S1.5 Determining Abnormal Status: When any indicator exceeds the preset range by more than 10% (e.g., electronic conversion rate < 80%) and the duration is ≥ 15 minutes, or when all three indicators exceed the preset range simultaneously, it is determined to be an abnormal status, indicating that there may be serious problems such as sensor failure, raw material purity not meeting standards, or reactor seal failure.

[0095] The above calculation formula can be used to locate potential problems (such as "high temperature leading to decreased uniformity" or "low raw material conversion rate").

When the flow rate is more than 5% below the preset lower limit, increase the flow ratio of hydrogen to trichlorosilane (from 3:1 to 4:1) to enhance the driving force of the reduction reaction.

[0099] (2) Adjustment of reaction temperature: based on the polysilicon deposition rate and the stability index of the reaction system When the trichlorosilane conversion rate When the value remains consistently below the median of the optimal interval, Gradually increase the temperature of the dominant reaction zone within a 5℃ range, until the stability index of the reaction system is...

When the pressure drops due to pressure fluctuations, the pressure fluctuations can be controlled by fine-tuning the opening of the exhaust valve. Within 0.01MPa;
