Background technology
Because Siemens process polycrystalline silicon purification techniques production cost height, and the purity of the silicon of Siemens Method production reaches 11N, and solar energy level silicon only is 6~7N to the requirement of purity, therefore, Siemens Method is applied to the silicon solar cell field of making and will cause unnecessary resource and cost waste.In recent years, adopt the technology of metallurgy method purification preparation solar-grade polysilicon to obtain to pay attention to widely.
The metallurgy method purification techniques need be through the refining and the ingot casting of silicon materials, and the charge cask of employing is generally quartz crucible.Because the fusing point of silicon is higher, refining and ingot casting are consuming time longer, and at high temperature Long contact time unavoidably chemical reaction will take place between silicon liquid and the crucible.On the one hand, reaction can cause oxygen element and other impurity element to dissolve in the silicon liquid, and silicon liquid is polluted, and influences the electric property of silicon crystal.On the other hand, reaction can cause silicon ingot and crucible to stick together, and causes difficulty to the demoulding.And because silicon crystal is different with the thermal expansivity of crucible material, produce stress between the silicon ingot of adhesion and the crucible, cause the generation of lattice defect, even silicon ingot and crucible are cracked.Therefore,, be convenient to the demoulding, and obtain pure, ideal silicon crystal, need at inner wall of quartz crucible spraying one deck supercoat for preventing reaction and the adhesion between ingot casting and the crucible.Have good tack between these protective layer need and the crucible, and high temperature resistant, silicon melt is not polluted.
Usually the main component of the coated material that adopts is a silicon nitride.Crucible is coated with after the last layer silicon nitride coating, can stop the chemical reaction between silicon liquid and the crucible, helps the demoulding, makes the repeated use of quartz crucible become possibility, thereby reduces production costs.Yet the intensity of common silicon nitride coating is not high.Though silicon nitride coating through oversintering, in use easily peels off, silicon nitride particle enters in the silicon melt, be present in the silicon crystal at last, thus defectives such as impurity in the increase silicon crystal and dislocation.
Water glass is often used as the tackiness agent of coating powder, can effective fixed coating powder, prevent coating shedding.But at high temperature, the main component sodium in the water glass can produce crucible material and corrode.
