Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of photovoltaic manufacturing technology, specifically to a single-crystal visible doping device. Background Technology
[0002] Currently, N-type silicon rods and wafers used in photovoltaic cells are mainly phosphorus-doped monocrystalline silicon. Phosphorus has a segregation coefficient of 0.35, resulting in a significant difference in resistivity between the beginning and end of the N-type monocrystalline silicon rod. Due to the segregation limitation of the dopant phosphorus, a narrower resistivity range is generally achieved by shortening the rod length, which increases the actual crystal pulling cost.
[0003] By controlling the concentration of antimony (segregation coefficient 0.023) in single-crystal silicon rods, it is possible to obtain single-crystal silicon rods with excellent resistivity range and resistivity concentration, maintaining resistivity uniformity even at longer rod lengths. The specific principle is that during the doping process, due to the difference in evaporation rates, both antimony and phosphorus dopants simultaneously influence the resistivity of the silicon ingot in the early stages of crystal pulling. As time progresses, the contribution of antimony decreases, and when antimony has completely evaporated (i.e., in the later stages of crystal pulling), only phosphorus dopant plays a role, making the resistivity at the head and tail of the ingot more similar, thus improving the uniformity of axial resistivity. Consequently, the resistivity uniformity in the silicon wafer is also improved. However, antimony evaporates rapidly in silicon solution, requiring multiple replenishment during the single-crystal silicon rod pulling process. Using existing replenishment equipment can lead to difficulties in timely monitoring of the alloy within the device. Existing equipment suffers from limitations due to the physical properties of antimony (rapid volatilization) and blind spots in equipment observation (inability to track the addition process and residues in real time), resulting in delayed doping, uncontrolled concentration, and excessive resistance, which are industry pain points for large-size antimony-doped single crystals.
[0004] Therefore, it is necessary to invent a single-crystal visible doping device to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content
[0005] To address the shortcomings of existing technologies, the purpose of this invention is to provide a single-crystal visual doping device, which solves the problems of blind spots in existing equipment during actual use, leading to delayed doping, uncontrolled concentration, and excessive resistance.

[0022] The present invention will be further described below with reference to the accompanying drawings. The following embodiments are only used to more clearly illustrate the technical solution of the present invention, and should not be used to limit the scope of protection of the present invention.
[0023] This utility model provides, for example Figure 1-5 The single-crystal visual doping device shown includes a loading cavity 2 for receiving a scoop 1. An observation window 3 for observing the scoop 1 is installed at the top of the loading cavity 2. The observation window 3 is located at the top of the scoop 1 receiving cavity. A mounting component 4 is also provided at the top of the loading cavity 2 to facilitate the installation and removal of the observation window 3. The observation window 3 is made of gold-plated glass to be designed for and adapted to high-temperature, high-radiation environments; the gold film can isolate and reflect most of the heat radiation.
[0024] The observation window 3 has slots 301 on both sides. The mounting component 4 includes a guide block 401, with one end of the guide block 401 facing the observation window 3 extending into the slot 301. The guide block 401 is inserted into both sides of the slot 301. During the installation of the observation window 3, the locking block 402 can guide the guide block 401 with the observation window 3, making it easier to install in the designated position and reducing the difficulty of positioning.
[0025] The mounting component 4 also includes a locking block 402 fixedly mounted on the top of the loading cavity 2. One end of the locking block 402 is abutted against the end face of the guide block 401. The guide block 401 has an extension plate 409 at the top of the locking block 402. The top of the extension plate 409 has multiple locking bolts 407 that are threadedly connected to the bottom guide block 401. When the extension plate 409 is abutted against the top of the locking block 402, the position of the slot 301 is abutted against the top plane of the loading cavity 2, improving the sealing of the observation window 3.
[0026] The locking block 402 has a groove 408 at the location of the second locking bolt 407. Multiple ejector springs 406 are provided inside the groove 408, and these ejector springs 406 are sleeved on the outside of the second locking bolt 407. The ejector springs 406 are designed to simultaneously push out the observation window 3 during disassembly, reducing the difficulty of disassembly.
[0027] A sealing frame 404 is fitted around the outer side of the observation window 3, and the inner end face of the sealing frame 404 fits against the outer end face of the observation window 3. The sealing frame 404 is provided to protect multiple end faces of the observation window 3 and prevent the corners of the observation window 3 from being damaged by impact.
[0028] The guide block 401 has threaded holes at both ends, and the outer side of the sealing frame 404 is provided with multiple locking bolts 405 that are threadedly connected to the threaded holes. The sealing frame 404 is installed with the guide block 401 by locking bolts 407. When the inner side of the observation window 3 is contaminated by dust particles, the observation window 3 can be directly disassembled by removing the locking bolts 405, making it easy to wipe the inner side of the observation window 3.
[0029] A limiting frame 403 is fixedly installed at the top of the loading cavity 2. The inner end face of the limiting frame 403 is in contact with the end faces of the sealing frame 404 and the locking block 402. The limiting frame 403 is provided to seal the two end faces of the sealing frame 404. A sealing ring is provided on the side of the limiting frame 403 facing the sealing frame 404 to improve the sealing effect of the device.
[0030] This invention features an observation window 3 at one end of the loading chamber 2. This window allows for monitoring during the loading stage to ensure the alloy is accurately placed into the scoop and that no spillage occurs. During the purification process, it directly monitors the dynamic changes of the antimony master alloy powder during vacuuming / gas filling, preventing dust, volatilization, and agglomeration, thus avoiding accidental losses due to airflow disturbances. The window position allows for direct viewing of the scoop opening, eliminating the need for a push-out device to check for residual alloy inside the scoop 1. An installation component 4 is located on the outside of the observation window 3. This component allows for easy removal and replacement of the observation window 3 by disassembling the guide block 401 and simultaneously using multiple push-out springs 406 if the observation window 3 is damaged.
[0031] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present utility model. It should be noted that for those skilled in the art, several improvements and modifications can be made without departing from the technical principles of the present utility model, and these improvements and modifications should also be considered within the protection scope of the present utility model.
