A kind of laying method of seed crystal and ingot single crystal growth method
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of laying method and ingot single crystal growth method of seed crystal, belong to solar cell production technical field.
Background technology
Current solar cell is raw materials used based on crystalline silicon, and wherein, the silicon single crystal prepared by vertical pulling method has the high advantage of cell conversion rate, but its complicated process of preparation, high expensive.Polycrystalline silicon ingot casting has easy and simple to handle, lower-cost advantage, but its battery conversion efficiency is low.Quasi-monocrystalline silicon between silicon single crystal and polysilicon is emerging silicon materials, and it has the advantage of silicon single crystal and polysilicon concurrently, but, easily produce defect in its production process, limit its application industrially and popularization.
Ingot single crystal technology is the technology utilizing seed crystal to induce in ingot casting process, produces the method for accurate monocrystalline.In the preparation process of ingot single crystal, seed crystal mainly adopts <100> crystal orientation, to obtain crystal growth rate be conducive to obtaining the fabulous matte of sunken luminous energy power faster, if the planar process of silicon chip is to being <100> crystal orientation, then can rely on preferentially etching principle during alkali making herbs into wool, obtain pyramid matte.
In existing class monocrystalline ingot casting technology, see reference document NathanStoddardetalCastingSingleCrystalSilicon:NovelDefec tProfilesfromBPSolar'sMono2TMWafers, SolidStatePhenomena, Vols.131-133 (2008) pp1-8 is all obtain ingot single crystal with the square seed crystal induction that crystal orientation, front <100>, crystal orientation, side are also <100>.The drawback of this kind of method existence is, seed crystal splicing drift angle goes out easily produce defect and breed comparatively fast, considerably reduces wafer bulk minority carrier life time.
Existing about in the patent of invention of ingot single crystal, as application number be " 201410192435.0 ", name is called the Chinese invention patent application file of " the adhesion joining method of a kind monocrystalline silicon cast ingot seed crystal and crucible for casting ingots "; With application number be " 201210337523.6 ", name is called the Chinese invention patent application file of " making method of class monocrystalline ingot casting seed body and the making method of class monocrystalline ingot casting "; And application number be " 201210234392 ", name is called the Chinese invention patent document of " a kind of large size class single crystal seed and production technique thereof "; The patent No. is " 201210571603.8 ", name is called in the Chinese invention patent document of " a kind monocrystalline silicon cast ingot seed crystal joining method ", and what all adopt is square seed crystal or rectangle seed crystal, thus all there is above-mentioned technical problem.
Summary of the invention
The present invention is directed to the problems referred to above of the prior art, a kind of growth method of ingot single crystal be provided,
For this reason, the present invention is by the following technical solutions:
A laying method for seed crystal, for the casting of accurate monocrystalline, is characterized in that, comprises following steps:
A: making cross section is orthohexagonal silicon single crystal column seed crystal, and the cross section normal direction of silicon single crystal column seed crystal is <100> crystal orientation, crystal orientation, side facet normal direction does not fix requirement;
B: seed crystal side is snugly paved with crucible bottom surface, reaches with seed crystal side and closely cooperates as standard.
A kind of ingot single crystal growth method, is characterized in that, comprise the steps:
S1: making cross section is orthohexagonal silicon single crystal column seed crystal, and the cross section normal direction of silicon single crystal column seed crystal is <100> crystal orientation, crystal orientation, side facet normal direction does not fix requirement;
S2: seed crystal side is snugly paved with crucible bottom surface, reaches with seed crystal side and closely cooperates as standard;
S3 drops into silicon material to the crucible being paved with seed crystal, according to the technique oriented growth of fusing, long crystalline substance, annealing, cooling, in melting process, must ensure that seed crystal has at least more than 0.1mm thickness not to be melted;
S4: after crystal ingot evolution, by silicon rod routinely dimensional requirement be sliced into the class monocrystalline silicon piece that crystal orientation is <100> crystal orientation.
The present invention is orthohexagonal silicon single crystal column seed crystal by cross section, relative to traditional tetragon seed crystal, has drift angle linear slit and is reduced to three by four, reduce 25%, thus greatly reduces the sunken probability of the scarce generation in drift angle place.Regular hexagon seed crystal splices what is in addition all positive trident crystal boundaries (angle is 120o), larger thermal stresses can be born, thus can thermal stresses causes in Developing restraint process defect be formed and propagation, strengthen the body minority carrier life time of silicon chip, promote the efficiency of conversion that silicon chip is prepared into cell piece.
