The application relates to the technical field of solar cells, and particularly provides a method for removing
boron trioxide in a furnace tube, which aims to remove the accumulated
boron trioxide in the furnace tube at a low cost. The method comprises the following steps: placing a
silicon wafer in the furnace tube, introducing
oxygen into the furnace tube, and increasing the temperature to a preset temperature, so that the
boron trioxide and the
silicon wafer react, and after the gettering stopping condition is met, the furnace tube is cooled and the
silicon wafer is taken out. According to the application, the
boron trioxide in the furnace tube reacts with the silicon wafer at high temperature to obtain
silicon oxide and boron atoms. Since the
solid solubility of the boron atoms in the
silicon oxide is higher than that in the silicon, the boron atoms can be adsorbed by the
silicon oxide, so that the accumulated
boron trioxide in the furnace tube is removed. The method is simple and convenient, the
boron trioxide in the furnace tube can be adsorbed when the furnace tube is idle to avoid
impurity accumulation, and a large amount of cost is not needed, so that the accumulated boron trioxide in the furnace tube is removed in time at a low cost.
