In (1) step of this method, the thickness of the formed silicon granulosa of may command is in 1-3mm left and right sides scope, so that the silicon ribbon that makes has suitable thickness.
For preventing that in the silicon ribbon preparation process silicon of fusion is bonded in (quartz plate or graphite cake) on the support plate under the high temperature, can and between as the quartz plate of supporting bracket or graphite cake (can spray onboard) one deck main component be set at silicon powder layer is Al 2O 3Or CrO 2Or the separator of BN.
In (3) step, the said line focus thermal treatment zone is adopted from both sides up and down silicon powder layer is carried out the molten heating in line focus district.In the scope of speed-controllable below 200mm/min that melt the focal zone, preferably be controlled at about 30mm/min.
Be used to realize the preparation method's of the granular silicon belt of the present invention technical scheme of device, it is characterized in that having a mechanical transmission mechanism and can drive and the level quartz or the graphite transmission board of transmission forward by this mechanism, on the transmission path of transmission board by front and back set gradually charging hopper in proper order, preheat the district, the line focus thermal treatment zone and natural cooling district; Said preheat the district by be arranged at respectively transmission board up and down two row's non-focusing halogen tungsten fluorescent tubes of both sides constitute; The said line focus thermal treatment zone by be arranged at respectively transmission board up and down two halogen tungsten fluorescent tube assemblies that have optical line focus reflection cover of both sides form.
The halogen tungsten fluorescent tube assembly that has optical line focus reflection cover of the said line focus thermal treatment zone, its optical line focus reflection cover adopts bielliptic(al) shape reflection lampshade, there are 4 halogen tungsten fluorescent tubes to be arranged at the focal position of bielliptic(al) shape reflection lampshade respectively, also have the 4 halogen tungsten fluorescent tubes of propping the assistant heating effect to be arranged at the interior non-focal position of bielliptic(al) shape reflection lampshade.
Process with this device preparation granular silicon belt is:
(1) reinforced and transmission: the silicon grain is tiled in as on quartz plate that supports or the graphite cake by charging hopper, transfers to by mechanical transmission mechanism and preheat the district;
(2) preheat the district under inert gas shielding, silicon powder layer is preheated degasification and evaporation low melting point impurity, transfer to the line focus thermal treatment zone then;
(3) in the line focus thermal treatment zone, under inert gas shielding, the tungsten halogen lamp of silicon powder layer by having the line focus reflector carries out the heating of wire district from both sides up and down, makes the silicon powder surface fusing, the speed of growth of the transmission speed control silicon ribbon crystal by the control connecting gear.
(4) the silicon ribbon crystal of Sheng Chenging continues to transfer to the cooling zone, forms granular silicon belt.
Whole process is carried out continuously.
The present invention proposes a kind of method for preparing so-called granular silicon belt, the silicon ribbon surfacing that this method is prepared, the silicon ribbon surface can reach the requirement as the substrate of solar cell polysilicon epitaxial film deposition after the process chemical treatment, be a kind of backing material of cheapness, can reduce the production cost of polycrystalline silicon thin film solar cell significantly.The method and apparatus of preparation granular silicon belt of the present invention adopts the optics heating.Be convenient to focus on, realize the heating of directed location, do not have radiation pollution, rate of heat addition height, technology is simple, and production cost is low.
