Abstract

The invention relates to a method for purifying polysilicon, and provides a solar-grade polysilicon purifying device and a solar-grade polysilicon purifying method. The purifying device is provided with a body insulating layer, an induction heating coil, a graphite heating sleeve, a graphite fixing disk, a lower insulating layer, a directional lifting device, a circulating water inlet / outlet, a graphite chassis, a crucible, an SiN coating and a thermocouple temperature measuring device. The purifying method comprises the following steps: placing the polysilicon and copper material into the crucible; melting the copper and the polysilicon to form a silicon-copper alloy fusant by switching on a power supply; measuring the temperatures at each point in the crucible along a vertical direction; adjusting an induction heating power controller so as to keep the alloy fusant in the crucible at a temperature gradient, namely the temperature is from high to low from the middle part to the bottom of the crucible; starting the directional lifting device so as to drive the crucible and the graphite chassis to be pulled down and generate directional solidification; cutting off the power supply after the alloy fusant is solidified; taking the silicon ingot of the alloy out after the solidified body is cooled and cutting the upper part of the silicon ingot; and obtaining the solar-grade polysilicon which is the rest part of the silicon ingot.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for purifying polysilicon, in particular to a device and a method for purifying solar grade polysilicon by using Si-Cu alloy through directional solidification. Background technique [0002] Polycrystalline silicon is the raw material for preparing monocrystalline silicon and solar cells, and is the cornerstone of the global electronics industry and photovoltaic industry. Solar cells prepared by using crystalline silicon have stable performance and long service life, and are the main materials for preparing solar cells. Application results show that solar cells with a photoelectric conversion efficiency of 15% can generate 100-200 kWh of electricity per square meter per year on average (Peter Woditscha, Wolfgang Kochb, Solar grade silicon feedstock supply for PV Industry. Solar Energy Materials & Solar Cells. 2002, 72: 11). Therefore, solar energy will become a sunrise industry to solve energy crisis and environmenta...
