  • Patent number: 10253430
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preparing polycrystalline silicon ingot. The preparation method comprises: randomly laying seed crystals with unlimited crystal orientation at the bottom of crucible to form a layer of seed crystals and obtaining disordered crystalline orientations; providing molten silicon above the layer of seed crystals, controlling the temperature at the bottom of the crucible, making the layer of seed crystals not completely melted; controlling the temperature inside the crucible, making the molten silicon growing above the seed crystals, the molten silicon inheriting the structure of the seed crystals, then obtaining polycrystalline silicon ingot. By adopting the preparation method, a desirable initial nucleus can be obtained for a polycrystalline silicon ingot, so as to reduce dislocation multiplication during the growth of the polycrystalline silicon ingot.

  • Patent number: 10227711
    Abstract: Disclosed is a method for preparing polycrystalline silicon ingot. The preparation method comprises: coating inner wall of the crucible with a layer of silicon nitride, followed by laying a layer of crushed silicon and feeding silicon in the crucible; the crushed silicon is laid in random order, and the layer of crushed silicon forms a supporting structure having numerous holes; melting the silicon to form molten silicon by heating, when solid-liquid interface reach the surface of the layer of crushed silicon or when the layer of crushed silicon melt partially, regulating thermal field to achieve supercooled state to grow crystals; after the crystallization of molten silicon is completely finished, performing annealing and cooling to obtain polycrystalline silicon ingot. By adopting the preparation method, a desirable initial nucleus can be obtained for a polycrystalline silicon ingot, so as to reduce dislocation multiplication during the growth of the polycrystalline silicon ingot.
