Problems solved by technology

However, the smaller the air pressure value, the more stringent the requirements for the vacuum pump, which will reduce the service life of the vacuum pump

If only the temperature compensation method is used to solve the problem of the uniformity of the diffusion square resistance between the entire tube slices, due to the low concentration of phosphorus source, the temperature of the tube mouth is usually higher than that of the tube tail by more than 20°C, and the temperature from the furnace tail to the furnace mouth presents a gradient distribution. The heat disturbance in the furnace tube makes it difficult to improve the uniformity of the longitudinal concentration distribution of diffusion doping between the wafers, which seriously restricts the doping uniformity in the silicon wafer, which is not conducive to the improvement of the subsequent process of the battery
