Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of silicon wafer carrying, in particular to a silicon wafer carrying flower basket. Background Art

[0002] Improving efficiency and reducing costs are long-standing themes in the photovoltaic manufacturing industry. The cost of incoming silicon wafers still accounts for a significant portion of current silicon-based solar cell manufacturing costs. Using thinner silicon wafers clearly reduces costs and improves competitiveness. However, thinner silicon wafers offer greater flexibility and bendability. When the thickness of monocrystalline silicon wafers decreases below 150μm, the traditional fixtures used in texturing machines are no longer sufficient to ensure sufficient spacing between the wafers to prevent sticking before entering the drying tank. When silicon wafers are lifted from the liquid, the adsorption force of water between adjacent wafers causes them to stick together. This adhesion not only results in residual chemical solution on the wafers but also leads to poor drying performance, leaving water marks on the surface, impacting process yield and hindering subsequent production steps. Furthermore, the diffusion of water vapor can contaminate equipment, impacting production yield. Therefore, with the trend toward further reductions in silicon wafer thickness, it is imperative to find a simple and effective method to improve wafer adhesion. Utility Model Content
