Product and the big step of pickling five, are described in detail below.
A charging
High-purity bulk crystals silicon material is fitted into crucible, the size of block material is not less than 2cm, the dress of single crystal silicon material
Entering amount must not exceed at the 3/4 of crucible volume, and after charging, the top cover of seal chamber is installed, so that crucible and its interior
Silicon material is in seal chamber, and checks that leakproofness is good, then opens the valve in vacuum lines, negative by being evacuated in system
Pressure, then the valve in seal chamber protective gas inlet line is opened, it is passed through protective gas to system, when the pressure in system rises
When to positive pressure, the valve in protective gas inlet line is closed, the valve in vacuum lines is closed after repeating vacuum pumping 3 times
Door is continued to be passed through protective gas into seal cavity with positive pressure environment in maintenance system by protective gas inlet line, be prevented
Air is scurried into seal pipe.
B material
The heating device on the outside of crucible is opened, the temperature of crucible is heated to 1400~1500 DEG C, so that in crucible
Crystal silicon material is molten into liquid.
C drawing silicon core
Liquid silicon material after fusing enters the gap between inner and outer pipes under the effect of the pressure of gravity and protective gas,
Hollow silicone tube is formed by nozzle ring downwards, the temperature of hollow silicone tube is controlled by the temperature-adjusting device on seal pipe top,
To ensure the viscosity of hollow silicone tube, the valve on inert gas import pipeline is opened, by air supply pipe to leading to inside hollow silicone tube
Enter inert gas, while different rulers are prepared according to the inert gas flow that the specification requirement of hollow silicone tube adjustment flows through air supply pipe
Very little and thickness hollow silicone tube.During drawing hollow silicone tube, protection gas is continually fed into seal chamber, it can be ensured that sealing
Chamber, seal pipe and silicon core cache indoor micro-positive pressure environment, prevent air anti-channeling.Certainly, brilliant by being added constantly into crucible
Body silicon material can continuous output hollow silicon core.
D output product
Enter in seal pipe by the hollow silicone tube that nozzle ring is formed, when the lower end of hollow silicone tube is filled by linear measure longimetry
After setting upper detection mouth, length-measuring appliance starts to measure hollow silicon length of tube, when the length of hollow silicone tube reaches pre-
If length value, that is, when meeting product requirement, hollow silicone tube lower part is fixed in the starting of aid device in seal pipe, cutter device with
Start, hollow silicone tube is cut into the finished product hollow silicon core of certain length, device is accommodated after cutting and drives finished product hollow
Silicon core comes downwards in silicon core caching room, and finished product hollow silicon core is put into silicon core caching room, and then, aid device goes upward to sealing
It is resetted in pipe, repeats silicone tube next time and fix.
After silicon core, which caches indoor finished product hollow silicon core, reaches certain amount, close between seal pipe and silicon core caching room
Disconnecting switch, open silicon core caching room outlet, finished product hollow silicon core is taken out, be then shut off silicon core caching room outlet, open
Silicon core caches the valve in room protective gas inlet line, carries out displacement 10min to caching room, turns off the room protection of silicon core caching
Then valve on gas feed pipeline opens the disconnecting switch between silicon core caching room and seal pipe.
E pickling
When the temperature for the finished product hollow silicon core taken out from silicon core caching room is too high, exposure is easy in air in silicon core table
Face forms oxidation film, influences the normal use of later period silicon core, it is therefore desirable to pickling is carried out to finished product hollow silicon core, to remove finished product
The oxidation film on hollow silicon core surface.Wherein, pickling solution can be 10-20% hydrofluoric acid solution or hydrochloric acid solution.
It is understood that the principle that embodiment of above is intended to be merely illustrative of the present and the exemplary implementation that uses
Mode, however the present invention is not limited thereto.For those skilled in the art, essence of the invention is not being departed from
In the case where mind and essence, various changes and modifications can be made therein, these variations and modifications are also considered as protection scope of the present invention.
