Problems solved by technology

[0005] However, this method has the following disadvantages: 1, the efficiency of thermal cracking is low, part of trichlorosilane is converted into silicon tetrachloride in the cracking process, and the ratio of trichlorosilane into polysilicon is less than 50%. Chlorosilane can only get polysilicon below 100g
After the separation of silicon tetrachloride, trichlorosilane is re-synthesized as a raw material. This cycle consumes energy and electricity and is inefficient.
2. The tail gas produced by the cracking process has complex components and high separation costs

Abstract

The invention discloses a method for making polysilicon by using hydrogen plasmas, wherein the method includes that one or more of dichlorosilane, silicochloroform and silicon tetrachloride is (are) used as the raw gas; hydrogen is used as the reducing gas; or one or more of helium, neon, argon and krypton is (are) used as the assistant gas; the assistant gas and the raw gas are mixed and then transformed into plasmas in a plasma generator; the plasmas are conveyed into a reducing furnace and deposited to make polysilicon ingots on a silicon core in the reducing furnace. In addition, the invention also discloses the polysilicon reducing furnace applying the method. Compared with the prior art, the invention obviously reduces the reaction temperature, improves the once through yield of the polysilicon and the deposition rate of silicon rods, and greatly reduces the energy consumption; a high-voltage device for high voltage start is saved due to adoption of the plasmas, and the system is started easily at low voltage; and the constant voltage operation in the reducing furnace can be realized. Integrating the system and the method, the invention reduces the production cost and the probability of potential safety hazard remarkably.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a polysilicon manufacturing method and system, more specifically to a polysilicon production system and manufacturing method utilizing hydrogen plasma assistance combined with a Siemens method. Background technique [0002] As we all know, the rapid development of information and control technology in the world today relies on various device chips made of silicon wafers, and the original material of silicon wafers is polysilicon. [0003] At present, the production method of polysilicon generally adopts the Siemens improved process, smelting and purifying quartz sand in an electric arc furnace to 98% to produce industrial silicon, and then crushing the industrial silicon and mixing it with anhydrous HCl at a temperature of about 300°C. The reaction in the fluidized bed reactor generates easily soluble SiHCl3, and at the same time forms a gaseous mixture (H2, HCl, SiHCl3, SiCl4, Si). The above-mentioned gaseous mixture ...
