以上の手順によるシリコン材料の洗浄方法が記載されている。純水中の浸し時間は10~30分間であり、圧縮空気で泡立てるように純水を攪拌している。また、その導電率の測定には携帯用導電率計が用いられ、導電率が1.3μS/cmより小さい場合に、シリコン材料をすくい上げて乾燥する(5頁4~9行)。
また、特許文献3記載の技術では携帯用導電率計によって純水の導電率を測定しているが、携帯用導電率計の取り扱いが面倒であるとともに、測定にばらつきが生じ易く、洗浄終了のタイミングを正確に判断するのは困難である。
この場合、水洗槽中の純水の電気伝導度は、純水を入れ替えた直後は低く、洗浄時間の経過にしたがって上昇するので、入れ替えてから少なくとも2時間経過した後の電気伝導度を測定する。純水を入れ替えて多結晶シリコンを純水中に浸漬状態に静置してから2時間経過後の電気伝導度が洗浄十分な値(2μS/cm)以下となっていたら水洗工程を終了する。
純水を入れ替えた後は、多結晶シリコンを収容しているバスケットなどの削れ破片等が浮遊する場合があるので、所定時間純水をオーバーフローさせてゴミを排出することにより、純水が清浄になり洗浄効率が高められる。
水洗槽に多結晶シリコンを浸漬した後、純水をオーバーフローさせながら洗浄することが可能になる。
排水口から離れた給水口付近に測定センサを設けたことにより、多結晶シリコンから純水中に洗い出された酸の付着を防止し、電気伝導度を正確に測定することができる。
析出した多結晶シリコンの表面から汚染物質を除去するとともに、その除去のために使用した酸の残留の少ない高品質の多結晶シリコンを得ることができる。
本実施形態である多結晶シリコンの製造方法は、いわゆるシーメンス法によって多結晶シリコンを析出させ、インゴット状にし、そのインゴットを切断・破砕加工して得られた塊状の多結晶シリコンの表面を洗浄する。図1に、本実施形態である多結晶シリコンの洗浄方法を有する多結晶シリコンの製造方法のフロー図を示す。
多結晶シリコンのインゴットはいわゆるシーメンス法によって製造される。詳述すると、図6に示すように反応炉20内にシリコンの芯棒21を複数本立てておき、この反応炉20内に原料ガス供給管22からトリクロロシランガスと水素ガスとを含む原料ガスを供給する。そして、シリコンの芯棒21に通電することにより、芯棒21は過熱され、高温状態となり、原料ガスのトリクロロシランと水素とは芯棒21の表面で反応し、高純度のシリコンを芯棒21の表面に析出させるとともに塩酸ガス等を生成する。この反応を進行させることで直径140mm程度の概略円柱状をなす多結晶シリコンのインゴットRが得られる。反応炉20内のガスはガス排出管23から外部に排出される。
こうして得られた概略円柱状のインゴットRは、単結晶シリコン製造用坩堝に装入可能な大きさにするため、切断・破砕加工が施される。本実施形態では、インゴットRを加熱後に急冷して亀裂を生じさせ、その後ハンマー等によって破砕することで図7に示すようなチャンクと呼ばれる塊状の多結晶シリコンSを得る。
切断・破砕工程によって様々な大きさの塊状の多結晶シリコンが形成される。これらの塊状の多結晶シリコンをその大きさ別に分級する。
まず、酸液が貯留された酸洗槽中にバスケットBに収容された多結晶シリコンSを浸漬して多結晶シリコンSの表面を溶解洗浄する酸洗工程を行う。
酸液は、主成分を硝酸とし、これに少量のフッ化水素酸を加えた混合酸液を使用する。
ここで、多結晶シリコンSを収容するバスケットBは、前記酸液に対して耐食性を有するポリエチレン、ポリプロピレン、ポリテトラフルオロエチレン等の合成樹脂製であり、その底板及び側壁には水切りのための多数の貫通孔(図示略)が形成されている。
酸洗槽から引き上げた後に、多結晶シリコンSは、純水を満たした槽に浸漬されて酸液を洗い流される。その後、槽から引き上げられて純水のシャワーによって洗浄される。
前述の酸洗工程の後、多結晶シリコンの表面に残った酸液を除去するために、さらに純水Wによる水洗を行う。
水洗工程では、純水Wを貯留した水洗槽11に、バスケットBに収容された多結晶シリコンSが浸漬される。
最初に、この多結晶シリコンSを浸漬した状態で水洗槽11内の純水Wを所定時間(5分間)オーバーフローさせる。これにより、主に多結晶シリコンSにより削られたバスケットBの破片等が水面に浮遊して純水Wとともにオーバーフローしていく。所定時間として例えば5分間純水Wをオーバーフローさせた後、純水Wの供給を停止し、その後、バスケットBに収容された多結晶シリコンSを浸漬状態に静置する。
そして、最初の所定時間(5分間)は純水Wを供給しながら水洗槽11からオーバーフローさせることにより、浮遊するバスケットBの破片等を除去して純水Wを清浄にする。このとき、純水W中に溶出した酸の一部も排出されると想定される。そして、純水Wの供給を停止して2時間静置した後の電気伝導度Cを測定する。この一連の操作を電気伝導度Cが2μS/cm以下となるまで繰り返す。
なお、電気伝導度Cは、最初の5分間のオーバーフローと、その後の2時間の浸漬静置とのサイクルを繰り返す毎に測定してもよいし、そのサイクルを1回又は複数回繰り返しても電気伝導度Cが2μS/cm以下にならないことが予め想定できる場合は、それらのサイクルにおいては測定せずに、所定回数繰り返した後に測定してもよい。
水洗工程を経た多結晶シリコンSの表面には水分が付着しているので、その水分を除去すべく乾燥を行う。乾燥方法としては、約70℃以上に加熱された清浄な空気からなる温風を用いて乾燥する、もしくは多結晶シリコンSをバスケットBに収容された状態で真空容器に投入し、その内部を1.0Pa以下まで真空引きすることで、水分を除去してもよい。
〔梱包・出荷工程S7〕
このように乾燥工程によって水分が除去された多結晶シリコンSは、梱包されて出荷される。
そして、単結晶シリコンの原料として単結晶シリコン製造用坩堝に充填されて溶解される。
また、水洗槽11の内底部には、バスケットBを支持する複数の受け台16が並べられている。これら受け台16は、水洗槽11の幅方向に複数(図3の例では3個)のバスケットBを並べて載置できる大きさに形成され、水洗槽11の長手方向に複数の受け台16が並べられて固定されている。この場合、図3に示すように、バスケットBを載置する受け台16の載置面16aも水洗槽11の幅方向に沿って傾斜しており、バスケットBは、水洗槽11の底面の傾斜により水洗槽11の長手方向に沿って傾斜するとともに受け台16によっても水洗槽11の幅方向に傾斜して支持される。各受け台16には、水洗槽11の長手方向の純水Wの流通を阻害しないように、水洗槽11の長手方向に沿う貫通孔16bが設けられている。
1回の入れ替え作業では、所定時間の純水のオーバーフローと、多結晶シリコンの浸漬状態での2時間の静置と、純水の排水および給水とを行う。純水のオーバーフローを実施してから多結晶シリコンSを純水W中に2時間浸漬した後、排水手段12によって水洗槽11内の純水Wを排出して水洗槽11内を空にし、再び純水供給手段13によって水洗槽11の容積分の量の純水Wを新たに供給する。
なお、純水Wの入れ替えに際しては、水洗槽11内底部に酸(液)が付着している可能性もあるので、初回もしくは2回目の純水排出後、水洗槽11の内底部を洗い流したうえで、水洗槽11内に純水を満たしてもよい。つまり、排水手段12を通じて水洗槽11から純水を排出するとともに純水供給手段13を通じて水洗槽11に純水を供給する。これにより、水洗槽11内の水位を受け台16の下部が浸漬する程度に保ちながら、水洗槽11の内底部を純水で洗い流す。その後、一旦水洗槽11を空にしてから、再び水洗槽11内に純水を満たす。
なお、電気伝導度Cの測定は、純水Wの入れ替え作業の度に行い、純水W中に多結晶シリコンSを静置してから2時間経過後の電気伝導度Cが2μS/cm以下となるまで、純水Wの入れ替え作業を繰り返してもよい。多結晶シリコンS表面の汚染度が高い場合等には、純水Wの入れ替え作業のみを例えば2時間毎に複数回(例えば5回)繰り返した後に電気伝導度Cを測定してもよい。
いずれの洗浄においても、一つの水洗槽に一種類の多結晶シリコンを多数浸漬した。表1において「チャンク(大)」は多結晶シリコンの塊が大きいもの、具体的には差し渡しが50mm~100mm程度のものを指し、「チャンク(小)」は多結晶シリコンの塊が小さいもの、具体的には差し渡しが5mm~50mm程度のものを指す。また、5kg分の多結晶シリコンの塊を収容したバスケットを複数用意し、それらをそれぞれの条件に合わせて一つの水洗槽に必要な重量だけ浸漬した。不純物の分析には、ICP-MS(誘導結合プラズマ質量分析装置)を使用した。ただし、実際に測定された不純物は極めて微量であったため、表1では定量下限を示した。
例えば、電気伝導度Cが2μS/cm以下となった後に水洗工程を終了するものとして説明したが、これに限定されることはなく、多結晶シリコンに要求される清浄度に応じて適宜設定することが好ましい。ただし、電気伝導度Cを2μS/cm以下とすることで、硝酸濃度は0.1mg/L未満となり、より高い清浄度まで、酸液を除去することが可能となる。
さらに、塊状の多結晶シリコンを洗浄するものとして説明したが、多結晶シリコンの形状に限定はなく、例えば円柱状の多結晶シリコンインゴットを洗浄するものであってもよい。この場合、多結晶シリコンは、単結晶シリコン用原料以外に、太陽電池用原料としても用いられる。
