Description
技术领域 technical field
本发明涉及一种多晶硅,尤其是涉及一种采用冶金法的多晶硅的除硼提纯方法及装置。The invention relates to polysilicon, in particular to a method and device for boron removal and purification of polysilicon by metallurgy.
背景技术 Background technique
能源危机和传统能源对环境的污染已成为社会和国民经济发展的主要制约因素。为维持可持续发展,世界各国都在积极调整能源结构,大力发展可再生能源,多晶硅太阳能电池成为全球关注的热点。采用改良西门子法制备高纯多晶硅的工艺较为复杂,投资成本高,用其制备太阳电池将会大大增加电池价格。而冶金法提纯多晶硅工艺相对简单,成本低廉,且对环境的造成污染相对较小,已成为太阳能级多晶硅的主要发展方向。The energy crisis and the pollution of the environment by traditional energy have become the main restrictive factors for the development of society and national economy. In order to maintain sustainable development, countries all over the world are actively adjusting their energy structure and vigorously developing renewable energy. Polycrystalline silicon solar cells have become a hot spot of global concern. The process of preparing high-purity polysilicon by using the improved Siemens method is relatively complicated, and the investment cost is high. Using it to prepare solar cells will greatly increase the price of the cell. The process of purifying polysilicon by metallurgy is relatively simple, the cost is low, and the pollution to the environment is relatively small, which has become the main development direction of solar-grade polysilicon.
工业硅是生产太阳能级多晶硅的重要原料,但其纯度在2N左右,往往需要提纯处理以去除其中的杂质元素,如Al、Ca、Fe、C、P、B等,尤其是P、B等非金属杂质。多晶硅材料中最难以去除的是P和B,因为P、B在Si中的分凝系数分别为0.35、0.8,远高于金属元素(金属元素在硅中的分凝系数一般为:10-2~10-7数量级),所以,在常规的定向凝固提纯过程中,当硅从液体冷却凝固为固体时,停留在固相中的P和B仍然很多,提纯效果差。Industrial silicon is an important raw material for the production of solar-grade polysilicon, but its purity is around 2N, and it often needs to be purified to remove impurity elements, such as Al, Ca, Fe, C, P, B, etc., especially P, B, etc. Metal impurities. P and B are the most difficult to remove in polycrystalline silicon materials, because the segregation coefficients of P and B in Si are 0.35 and 0.8, respectively, which are much higher than metal elements (the segregation coefficient of metal elements in silicon is generally: 10 -2 ~10 -7 order of magnitude), so, in the conventional directional solidification purification process, when silicon is cooled and solidified from liquid, there are still a lot of P and B staying in the solid phase, and the purification effect is poor.
对于P杂质而言,最有效的除P方法是利用P在真空下的蒸气压随温度升高而很快增加的特点,采用真空除磷。例如美国专利US5254300公开了一种方法,将熔融硅在减压下精炼,使P进入气相,挥发除去。而对于B杂质,例如1823K时,硅的蒸汽压为0.40Pa,B的饱和蒸气压为6.78×10-7Pa,远远低于硅,因此,无法采用真空冶炼的方法去除B。For P impurities, the most effective way to remove P is to use vacuum to remove phosphorus by utilizing the characteristics that the vapor pressure of P under vacuum increases rapidly with the increase of temperature. For example, US Pat. No. 5,254,300 discloses a method in which molten silicon is refined under reduced pressure so that P enters the gas phase and is removed by volatilization. For B impurities, for example, at 1823K, the vapor pressure of silicon is 0.40 Pa, and the saturated vapor pressure of B is 6.78×10 -7 Pa, which is far lower than that of silicon. Therefore, B cannot be removed by vacuum smelting.
日本东京大学Kazuki Morita等人在论文“Refining of Si by the solidification of Si-Al meltwith electromagnetic force”(ISIJ International,Vol.45(2005),No.7,pp.967~971)中提出在电场作用下从Si-Al合金熔体中固化精炼硅的方法,并从理论计算和实验测量中得出B在Si-Al合金熔体中的分凝系数有较大幅度的降低。而在另一篇论文“Boron removal by titaniumaddition in solidification refining of silicon with Si-Al melt”(Takeshi Yoshikawa,Kentaro Arimura,Kazuki Morita,Metallurgical and Materials Transactions B,Volume 36,Number 6,837~842,2005)中提出,在Si-Al合金熔体中添加Ti元素,可形成TiB2沉淀析出。美国专利US4256717和US4312848也公开了采用类似分离结晶方法,添加合金元素,去除多晶硅中的B杂质。但以上方法在如何将Si和Al分离,实现工业化生产等方面仍有待研究。美国专利US20060123947采用电子束真空冶炼,将多晶硅中的B杂质从55ppmw降至25ppmw。美国专利US5182091和Tomonori Kumagai等的论文(Tomonori Kumagai et al.Removal of boron from metallurgical-grade silicon by applying the plasma treatment”ISIJ International,1992,32(5),630-634)均公开了一种向熔融硅表面施加等离子体的方法,具有很好的除B效果,但以上工艺耗电大、设备要求高、成本昂贵。In the paper "Refining of Si by the solidification of Si-Al melt with electromagnetic force" (ISIJ International, Vol.45(2005), No.7, pp.967~971), Kazuki Morita et al. of the University of Tokyo proposed that the electric field effect According to the method of solidifying and refining silicon from Si-Al alloy melt, and from theoretical calculation and experimental measurement, it is concluded that the segregation coefficient of B in Si-Al alloy melt has a relatively large decrease. And in another paper "Boron removal by titanium addition in solidification refining of silicon with Si-Al melt" (Takeshi Yoshikawa, Kentaro Arimura, Kazuki Morita, Metallurgical and Materials Transactions B, Volume 36, Number 6, 837~842, 2005) It is proposed that adding Ti element in Si-Al alloy melt can form TiB 2 precipitation. US Patents US4256717 and US4312848 also disclose the use of similar separation and crystallization methods to add alloy elements to remove B impurities in polysilicon. However, the above methods still need to be studied in terms of how to separate Si and Al and realize industrial production. US Patent US20060123947 uses electron beam vacuum smelting to reduce the B impurity in polysilicon from 55ppmw to 25ppmw. U.S. Patent No. 5,182,091 and papers such as Tomonori Kumagai (Tomonori Kumagai et al.Removal of boron from metallic-grade silicon by applying the plasma treatment "ISIJ International, 1992, 32 (5), 630-634) all disclose a method for melting The method of applying plasma on the silicon surface has a good effect of removing B, but the above process consumes a lot of power, requires high equipment, and is expensive.
目前,低成本冶金法除B主要利用反应气体和熔渣与硅液中的B发生氧化反应,反应产物将以含B的气体,比如HBO2形式从体系中排出,或生成硼氧化物,如BO1.5,进入熔渣体系中,通过渣金分离除去。At present, the low-cost metallurgical method for removing B mainly utilizes the reaction gas and slag to react with B in the silicon liquid, and the reaction product will be discharged from the system in the form of B-containing gas, such as HBO 2 , or form boron oxide, such as BO 1.5 enters the slag system and is removed through slag-gold separation.
美国专利US20070180949提到了一种从硅液底部吹入由Ar、H2、H2O和O2等组成的反应气体,氧化除硼的方法,B可以从25ppmw降至5ppmw。美国专利US60844372,则采用不同氧气比例的天然气焰,并通入少量Ar、H2和H2O的混合气体,将B从8.9ppmw降至3.6ppmw。美国专利US6368403指出除B的反应气体主要为Ar等惰性气体和O2等组成的混合气体。US Patent US20070180949 mentions a method of blowing a reaction gas composed of Ar, H 2 , H 2 O and O 2 from the bottom of the silicon liquid to oxidize and remove boron, B can be reduced from 25ppmw to 5ppmw. US Patent US60844372 uses natural gas flames with different oxygen ratios and feeds a small amount of Ar, H 2 and H 2 O mixed gas to reduce B from 8.9ppmw to 3.6ppmw. U.S. Patent No. 6,368,403 points out that the reaction gas for removing B is mainly a mixed gas composed of inert gases such as Ar and O 2 .
Tanahashi等(Tanahashi et al.Distribution behavior of boron between SiO2-saturated NaO0.5-CaO-SiO2 flux-molten silicon,Journal of the Mining and Materials,2002,118(7):497-505)提出以Na2O-CaO-SiO2为反应渣系,得出B的分散系数(B在渣系中的含量/B在硅液中的含量)最高可达到3.5,理论上,经造渣反应,硅中的B含量最多可降至0.4ppmw。Tanahashi et al. (Tanahashi et al. Distribution behavior of boron between SiO 2 -saturated NaO 0.5 -CaO-SiO 2 flux-molten silicon, Journal of the Mining and Materials, 2002, 118(7): 497-505) proposed to use Na 2 O-CaO- SiO2 is the reaction slag system, and the dispersion coefficient of B (the content of B in the slag system/the content of B in the silicon liquid) can reach up to 3.5. The B content can be reduced to 0.4ppmw at most.
日本专利JP2851257也公开了一种通过向熔融硅中连续添加造渣剂的方法,1500℃下,分两次添加SiO2与Na2CO3,B从12ppmw下降至0.29ppmw。Japanese patent JP2851257 also discloses a method of continuously adding slagging agent to molten silicon. At 1500°C, SiO 2 and Na 2 CO 3 are added twice, and B drops from 12ppmw to 0.29ppmw.
综上,目前主要的工艺方法都存在一定的不足。首先,B的去除效果很难达到太阳能级多晶硅的要求。其次,通入气体的方式存在一定局限性,通气部件容易腐蚀,或损坏。并且考虑到硅液的粘度,气体的扩散效果与反应程度并不理想。而且部分氧化性气体在高温下会与硅反应,造成不必要的硅损失。此外,对于普通的造渣反应,根据K.Suzuki和N.Sano的论文(Thermodynamics for removal of boron from metallurgical silicon by flux treatment,10thEuropean photovoltaic solar energy conference,273-275,1991),由于B的分散系数很小,若想取得很好的除B效果,必须加大造渣剂用量,并反复熔炼,这显然不符合低成本产业化生产的要求。如美国专利US5788945虽然采用了B分散系数最高可达2的CaO-SiO2渣系,渣金比仍需维持在1∶1,渣金比过高,在经济成本上是不合适的。To sum up, there are certain deficiencies in the main technological methods at present. First, the removal effect of B is difficult to meet the requirements of solar-grade polysilicon. Secondly, there are certain limitations in the way of introducing gas, and the ventilation parts are easily corroded or damaged. And considering the viscosity of the silicon liquid, the diffusion effect and reaction degree of the gas are not ideal. Moreover, part of the oxidizing gas will react with silicon at high temperature, resulting in unnecessary loss of silicon. In addition, for ordinary slagging reactions, according to K.Suzuki and N.Sano's paper (Thermodynamics for removal of boron from metallic silicon by flux treatment, 10 th European photovoltaic solar energy conference, 273-275, 1991), due to the The dispersion coefficient is very small. If you want to obtain a good B removal effect, you must increase the amount of slagging agent and repeat the smelting, which obviously does not meet the requirements of low-cost industrial production. For example, U.S. Patent No. 5,788,945 uses a CaO-SiO 2 slag system with a B dispersion coefficient of up to 2, and the slag-gold ratio still needs to be maintained at 1:1. If the slag-gold ratio is too high, it is not suitable in terms of economic cost.
除以上方法外,氯化法的工艺成熟,纯度高,如美国专利US4298423公开了一种通入HCl的方法,但存在较大的环境和安全问题。Except above method, the technology of chlorination method is mature, and purity is high, discloses a kind of method that feeds HCl as U.S. Patent US4298423, but there is bigger environmental and safety problem.
另外,属于低成本的冶炼方法还有熔盐电解法,以工业硅为原料,加入卤化物熔盐,加热电解,在阴极上形成高纯的硅沉积。但该工艺导电材料性能较差,沉积速率有限。In addition, a low-cost smelting method also includes molten salt electrolysis, which uses industrial silicon as a raw material, adds molten halide salts, heats and electrolyzes, and forms high-purity silicon deposits on the cathode. However, the conductive material performance of this process is poor, and the deposition rate is limited.

The combination of slagging can achieve the purpose of effectively removing B. The specific method of the invention is to melt the raw metal silicon by induction heating the graphite crucible, and to feed oxidizing gas and add slagging agent to remove B under the condition of low vacuum and high temperature. Among them, the slag is added to the silicon liquid in batches according to a certain time interval in the form of pre-melting, and the mixed gas of water vapor and argon is blown from the porous rotary nozzle at a certain ratio and flow rate, and the silicon liquid is stirred by the rotating parts to make the molten silicon melt.

根据K.Suzuki和N.Sano的论文“Thermodynamics of boron in a silicon melt”(Metallurgicaland Materials Transactions B,Volume 25B,1994),B与造渣剂,如SiO2可发生如下反应:According to K.Suzuki and N.Sano's paper "Thermodynamics of boron in a silicon melt" (Metallurgical and Materials Transactions B, Volume 25B, 1994), B and slagging agents, such as SiO 2, can react as follows:
B(l in Si)+3/4(SiO2)=(BO1.5)+3/4 Si(l)B(l in Si)+3/4(SiO 2 )=(BO 1.5 )+3/4 Si(l)
其中,BO1.5在碱性渣系中更趋于稳定。此外,根据论文“Estimation of water vapor solubilityin molten silicates by quadratic formalism based on the regular solution model”(Shiro Ban-Ya,Mitsutaka Hino,Tetsuya Nagasaka,ISIJ International,Vol 33,No 1,12~19,1993)中的计算,在高碱性渣中通入H2O,可有效增加熔体中的OH-离子与游离氧的浓度,为形成BOH挥发,和形成B2O3进入渣相提供了更为有利的条件。Among them, BO 1.5 tends to be more stable in the alkaline slag system. Furthermore, according to the paper "Estimation of water vapor solubility in molten silicates by quadratic formalism based on the regular solution model" (Shiro Ban-Ya, Mitsutaka Hino, Tetsuya Nagasaka, ISIJ International, Vol 33, No 1, 12-19, 1993) According to the calculation, the introduction of H 2 O into the highly alkaline slag can effectively increase the concentration of OH - ions and free oxygen in the melt, and provide more favorable conditions for the formation of BOH volatilization and the formation of B 2 O 3 into the slag phase. conditions of.
因此,本发明所选渣系主要由碱金属基氧化物、碱金属碳酸盐和SiO2等组成,通过控制碱金属氧化物与SiO2的比例以保证渣系呈碱性。同时,为调节体系的碱度、熔点、粘度和密度,可选择增加BaCO3、Ba(OH)2、CaF2等。Therefore, the slag system selected in the present invention is mainly composed of alkali metal-based oxides, alkali metal carbonates and SiO2 , etc., and the ratio of alkali metal oxides to SiO2 is controlled to ensure that the slag system is alkaline. At the same time, BaCO 3 , Ba(OH) 2 , CaF 2 etc. can be added to adjust the basicity, melting point, viscosity and density of the system.
本发明的反应气体的选择,由以上分析,本发明吹入的精炼反应所用气体含有少量H2O,并以与硅基本不发生反应的惰性气体如Ar作为载气。The selection of the reaction gas in the present invention, from the above analysis, the gas used for the refining reaction blown in the present invention contains a small amount of H 2 O, and an inert gas such as Ar which does not react substantially with silicon is used as the carrier gas.
采用本发明所述的除硼提纯方法,可使B的含量最高可降低至0.1ppmw,符合太阳能级多晶硅的纯度要求。By adopting the boron removal and purification method of the present invention, the B content can be reduced to 0.1 ppmw at most, which meets the purity requirement of solar-grade polysilicon.
与现有的太阳能级多晶硅的除B方法与装置相比,本发明吹气与造渣同时进行,并通过搅拌,加速反应,将液态硅中的B杂质氧化,生成的硼氧化物,一方面可进入熔渣体系中,达到热力学平衡后,经冷却,实现渣金分离;另一方面,亦可以含硼气体的形式从体系中排出,均可达到除B的效果。所采用的可升降多孔旋转喷嘴,将制铝工业中的旋转喷吹法应用到硅提纯工艺中,可大幅度提高气流量,而不产生硅液飞溅,同时,在旋转叶片的强烈搅拌作用下,可明显提高反应气体与造渣剂的分散程度,使与硅液充分接触,加大除B效果,这方面目前国内尚未见有相关报道。以上工艺操作简单,装置可由传统中频炉加以改造,成本低,对环境污染小,便于产业化推广,具有很可观的市场前景。Compared with the existing methods and devices for removing B from solar-grade polysilicon, the present invention carries out gas blowing and slagging at the same time, and through stirring, accelerates the reaction to oxidize the B impurities in liquid silicon, and the generated boron oxides, on the one hand It can enter into the slag system, and after reaching thermodynamic equilibrium, it can be cooled to realize the separation of slag and gold; on the other hand, it can also be discharged from the system in the form of boron-containing gas, and the effect of B removal can be achieved. The adopted movable multi-hole rotary nozzle applies the rotary blowing method in the aluminum industry to the silicon purification process, which can greatly increase the air flow without splashing the silicon liquid. At the same time, under the strong agitation of the rotating blades, , can significantly improve the dispersion degree of reaction gas and slagging agent, make full contact with silicon liquid, and increase the effect of B removal. There is no relevant report in this aspect in China. The above process is simple to operate, and the device can be modified from a traditional intermediate frequency furnace. The cost is low, the environmental pollution is small, and it is convenient for industrialization and promotion, and has a considerable market prospect.

The weight ratio of the slagging agent to the raw silicon is 3:10 (the slag-gold ratio is 0.3), that is, 3kg. After the silicon is completely melted, increase the power supply to 50kw to make the temperature of the silicon liquid reach 1800°C, lower the porous rotary nozzle above the surface of the silicon liquid to preheat for 5 minutes, and inject 99.5% Ar+0.5% H 2 O to blow the surface gas. Rotate the feeding bin, add the pre-melted slagging agent to the silicon liquid in batches, and the time interval between each addition is 20 minutes. Lower the porous rotary nozzle to about 20mm from the bottom of the graphite crucible, the ventilation rate is 20L/min, the ventilation time is 120min, and the rotation speed is 500rpm. Pour the silicon liquid into the graphite mold for casting, let it stand, take out the silicon ingot after cooling, remove 1/10 of the head and tail parts, and measure the B content in the polysilicon ingot by secondary ion mass spectrometer (SIMS) to be 0.22ppmw.
