[0002] With the development of the world's photovoltaic industry, the quality requirements for silicon single crystals are getting higher and higher, and the diameter is getting larger and larger. Silicon single crystals have become the material basis for general high-quality photovoltaic cells and play an irreplaceable role. As far as silicon crystal growth and preparation are concerned, there are natural silicon crystals and artificial silicon crystals. The number of natural silicon crystals is very small, and generally silicon single crystals are artificially made. In order to prepare silicon single crystals with good performance, in production practice, through continuous research, practice and exploration, the silicon single crystal growth technology has been continuously improved. The methods used to grow single crystals from the melt include zone melting method, pedestal method, sheet single crystal growth method, webbed single crystal growth method, etc.
