Purity of semiconductor grade silicon requiring ultra high purity reaches 11N. However, it is known that the silicon used as the raw material of the solar cell is similar in light conversion efficiency to that of 11N purity silicon even when the purity of 5N-7N is relatively low compared with the purity of semiconductor-grade silicon of 11N.

Semiconductor grade silicon is being manufactured through a chemical gasification process. However, it is known that such a silicon production process causes a large amount of pollutants, low production efficiency, and high production cost.

Brief Description of the Drawings The advantages and features of the present invention, and how to accomplish them, will become apparent with reference to the following detailed description, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings. However, it should be understood that the present invention is not limited to the embodiments described below, but may be embodied in various forms and should not be construed as limited to the embodiments set forth herein; rather, these embodiments are provided so that this disclosure will be thorough and complete and will fully convey the concept of the invention to those skilled in the art. To fully disclose the scope of the invention, and the invention is only defined by the scope of the claims. Like reference numerals refer to like elements throughout the specification.

Hereinafter, an apparatus and method for manufacturing high purity polysilicon using electron beam melting according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings.

Figure 1 schematically shows a high purity polysilicon manufacturing apparatus using electron beam melting according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 1, the illustrated polysilicon manufacturing apparatus includes a vacuum chamber 110, two electron-guns including a first electron gun 120a and a second electron gun 120b, and a silicon melter 130. ) And one-way coagulation unit 140.

The vacuum chamber 110 maintains the interior in a high vacuum atmosphere of 10 −4 torr or less during the production of polysilicon. When the pressure inside the vacuum chamber 110 exceeds 10 -4 torr, the effect of volatilization of impurities is insufficient, thereby reducing the silicon refining effect. In the embodiment of the present invention, the inside of the vacuum chamber was maintained at 10 −5 torr.

The first electron gun 120a and the second electron gun 120b are disposed at the top of the vacuum chamber 110 such that an electron beam is irradiated into the vacuum chamber 110. [

The silicon melting portion 130 is disposed in a region irradiated with the first electron beam by the first electron gun 120a. In the silicon melting portion 130, silicon raw material in particle form is charged from the raw material supply device 101, and the loaded silicon raw material is melted by the first electron beam accelerated and accumulated by the first electron gun 120a.

At this time, it is preferable that the first electron gun 120a accelerates and integrates the first electron beam so that the first electron beam has an output energy of 4000 kW / m 2 or less and about 2000-4000 kW / m 2 . If the output energy of the first electron beam exceeds 4000 kW / m 2 , the molten metal may be unstable due to the electron beam splashing to the outside of the crucible.

It is preferable that the silicon melting portion 130 is provided with a water-freezing crucible capable of blocking the inflow of impurities from the crucible that may occur during operation and easily controlling the cooling efficiency.

The one-way solidification unit 140 continuously casts molten silicon and at the same time induces segregation of metal impurities, thereby improving silicon refining and high-purity polysilicon production efficiency.

The unidirectional solidifying portion 140 is disposed in a region irradiated with the second electron beam by the second electron gun 120b and is connected to the silicon melting portion 130 through a trench 135. The amount of molten silicon formed in the silicon melting portion 130 increases as the silicon raw material is continuously charged into the silicon melting portion 130. The molten silicon overflowed in the silicon melt 130 is supplied to the unidirectional solidification part 140 through the molten metal 135. [

A cooling channel 142 is formed below the unidirectional solidification section 140 to supply cooling water or the like for cooling the molten silicon. In addition, a start block 145 driven in a downward direction is mounted inside the unidirectional solidification part 140.

The start block 145 is driven downward in the unidirectional solidification part 140 to physically transfer the molten silicon downward while growing a mold for silicon casting.

In the one-way solidification unit 140, the molten silicon supplied from the silicon melting unit 130 is maintained by the start block 145 in a state in which the molten silicon is maintained by the second electron beam accelerated and integrated by the second electron gun 120a. After being conveyed in the downward direction, it is solidified and cast upward through the cooling channel 142 to form polysilicon.

A second electron gun (120b) is a second electron beam to have an output energy of 1000 ~ 2000kW / m 2, it can be accelerated, and integrating the second electron beam. When the output energy of the second electron beam is less than 1000 kW / m 2 , it is difficult to maintain the molten state of silicon. When the output energy of the second electron beam exceeds 2000 kW / m 2 , There is a possibility that the behavior of the molten metal becomes unstable. This unstable melt behavior also affects the overflow process control from the melt.

The one-way solidification unit 140 may include a casting container made of copper having a cooling channel formed on a lower side, like the water cooling crucible.

2 schematically shows an example of a start block 145 applied to the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 2, the start block 145 may be formed by bonding a high-purity silicon button 147 on a dummy bar 146. FIG.

The silicon button 147 may have a thickness of about 8N to 10N and about 10 to 15 mm in purity, and the silicon chunk is melt-bonded to the dummy bar 146 by the second electron beam inside the one-way solidification unit 140. Can be formed.

The dummy bars 146 may be made of a graphite material.

The silicon button 147 serves to prevent contamination from graphite by preventing the dummy bar 146 from making direct contact with molten silicon or cast silicon.

In this case, the material of the dummy bar 146 used is most preferably low density graphite, and when using this, the silicon molten metal penetrates into the porous surface of the graphite to solidify, and then strongly bonds to the dummy bar. It serves to prevent the sudden temperature deviation between the initially formed molten metal.

In the polysilicon manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention, the electron beam pattern by the first electron gun (120a), the second electron gun (120b), the output energy of the first and second electron beams, the cooling water supplied to the one-way solidification unit 140 The amount, the amount of raw material supplied to the silicon melt part 130, the polysilicon growth rate in the one-way solidification part 140, and the like will vary depending on the arrangement and size of each element.

3 is a flow chart schematically showing a polysilicon manufacturing method according to an embodiment of the present invention.

Referring to FIG. 3, the method for manufacturing polysilicon according to the present invention includes a step of preparing a polysilicon manufacturing apparatus (S310), a step of mounting a dummy bar (S320), a step of manufacturing a start block by melting a silicon button (S330) And a melting step S340, a molten metal overflow step S350, a refining step S360 through silicon solidification, and an upper silicon cutting step S370.

In the polysilicon manufacturing apparatus preparing step (S310), a polysilicon manufacturing apparatus including a vacuum chamber, first and second electron guns, a silicon melting part, and a unidirectional solidification part is prepared as in the example shown in FIG. 1.

In the dummy bar attaching step (S320), the dummy bar is mounted inside the unidirectional solidifying portion. Then, in the start block manufacturing step (S330), a start block is formed by melting the silicon button.

Dummy bar mounting and manufacturing of the start block can be made in more detail as follows.

First, a dummy bar formed of graphite material or the like is mounted inside the one-way solidification part. The silicon chunks are then placed on the dummy bar. Next, the silicon chunks are fusion bonded to the dummy bars by the second electron beam in a vacuum atmosphere of about 10 -5 torr. Through this process, a start block is formed by bonding the upper silicon button and the lower dummy bar.

Next, in the low-purity silicon feeding and melting step (S340), the silicon raw material in the form of particles is fed to the silicon melting portion, and the first electron beam is irradiated using the first electron gun to melt the fed silicon raw material. The silicon raw material in the form of particles may be one having a purity of 2N and an average particle diameter of 1 to 2 mm.

As the silicon raw material is melted by the first electron beam, volatile impurities such as aluminum (Al), calcium (Ca), phosphorus (P), magnesium (Mg), manganese (Mn), and the like contained in the silicon raw material are volatilized under vacuum. Removed.

Volatile impurities having a higher boiling point and vapor pressure than silicon are volatilized by high vacuum and high heating temperature by the first electron beam. In this case, when the first electron beam output energy is increased and the first electron beam irradiation time is increased, refining efficiency may be improved.

In this step S340, the first electron beam may have an output energy of about 4000 kW / m < 2 > to accelerate and accumulate the first electron beam in the first electron gun so as to facilitate silicon melting and removal of volatile impurities.

In this case, the first electron gun is irradiated with the first electron beam in a comb-shaped pattern in which the head is in the furnace side as in the example shown in FIG. Design to control the flow of surface melt. In addition, as shown in FIGS. 5B and 5C, the flow path is irradiated with a first electron beam in a linear reciprocating pattern to maintain a uniform temperature of the silicon melt in the flow path while allowing the molten metal to move to the one-way solidification part. Serves to control. The energy density of the first electron beam to be irradiated can be adjusted to maintain the temperature of such molten metal in the process.

Next, in the molten metal overflow step (S350), the feeding of the silicon raw material to the silicon melting portion is continuously performed and the amount of the molten silicon formed in the silicon melting portion is increased, and the molten silicon is overflowed, And is supplied to the solidifying portion.

Next, in the refining step (S360) through silicon solidification, molten silicon is supplied from the one-way solidification unit, and is melted by driving the internal start block downward while maintaining a molten state by irradiating a second electron beam with a second electron gun. After transferring the silicon to the lower side, the lower part of the molten silicon is cooled so that the molten silicon is refined simultaneously with solidification from the lower side to the upper side.

In this step S360, the second electron beam can be accelerated and accumulated in the second electron gun so that the second electron beam has an output energy of 1000 to 2000 kW / m < 2 > have.

In this case, as shown in the example of FIG. 6, the second electron gun may irradiate the second electron beam in a circular or spiral complex pattern to the one-way solidification part.

The pattern of the second electron beam is an important process variable that influences the refining efficiency by determining not only the surface state of the silicon melt and the contact area of the inner wall of the water-freezing crucible, but also the temperature profile inside the melt. The circular or spiral composite pattern proposed in the present invention keeps the molten surface shape convex during the process and minimizes contact with the inner wall of the water-freezing crucible.

4 shows an example of the interface between the liquid phase 410 and the solid phase 420 formed by the second electron beam pattern. The circular or spiral composite pattern proposed in the present invention shows, among other things, a temperature profile inside the molten metal. As shown in the example, it is formed perpendicular to the growth direction to maximize the refining efficiency.

On the other hand, the start block in the step S360 may be driven to descend at a rate of 0.005 ~ 0.05 mm / s. When the start block is lowered at a speed less than 0.005 mm / s, the level of the silicon melt is continuously increased and the process control is impossible. When the start block is lowered beyond 0.05 mm / s, There is a problem that the molten metal leaks into the lower portion of the unidirectional solidification portion.

During this process, metal impurities such as iron (Fe), nickel (Ni), titanium (Ti), chromium (Cr), and copper (Cu) contained in the molten silicon are moved upward along the solid-liquid interface. The segregation effect of such impurities can be sufficiently exhibited when the temperature difference between the solid and liquid is high while the interface between the solid and liquid phases is perpendicular to the growth direction during the silicon solidification process.

In the present invention, while maintaining the molten state of the molten silicon by the second electron beam in the one-way solidification unit, while maintaining the solid-liquid interface perpendicular to the growth direction by the optimally designed electron beam pattern, the solid phase and the liquid phase through cooling from the bottom of the molten silicon The temperature difference can be maximized to improve the effect of impurity segregation.

Next, in the upper silicon cutting step (S370), the upper portion of the cast silicon is cut. As the metal impurity contained in the molten silicon moves upward along the solid-liquid interface, segregation of the metal impurity is concentrated at the top of the cast silicon (see FIG. 8). The polysilicon of can be manufactured.

In the embodiment of the present invention, the final polysilicon is approximately 100 mm in diameter, the height of the operation time, the growth rate can be 1 ~ 1000 mm by adjusting the growth rate. At this time, the process was controlled so that the height of the upper portion where the impurities were concentrated was less than 20% of the total specimen height.

Polysilicon produced through the above process may have a purity of 5N ~ 7N, it can be usefully used as a silicon for solar power generation.

Was applied to irradiate the first electron beam.

Then, the molten silicon is supplied to the one-way solidification unit along the flow path, and a second electron beam having an output energy of 1000 to 2000 kW / m 2 is irradiated using the second electron gun using the circular composite pattern shown in FIG. 6.
