  • Patent number: 7663383
    Abstract: A method for detection and analysis of impurity content of refined metallurgical silicon includes: (1) select the measuring points on the crystal rods or crystal ingots along the crystallization direction, measuring the resistivity at each measuring point and acquire the measured value of resistivity according to the distribution of crystallized fraction; (2) get the estimated value of the content of boron and phosphorus at each measuring point and calculate the estimated net redundant carrier concentration and the measured value of resistivity; (3) compare the estimated value of net redundant carrier concentration with that of the measured value, and adjust the estimated value of impurity content in the silicon material to get the new estimated net redundant carrier concentration, and use regression analysis to determine the impurity content distribution of boron and phosphorus; (4) get the average impurity content of boron and phosphorus in the silicon material according to the distribution status of impuri

  • Publication number: 20090098715
    Abstract: A process for manufacturing silicon wafers for solar cell is disclosed wherein one first breaks the refined metallurgical silicon, then remove visible impurities, then performs chemical cleaning and then places the silicon into a crystal growing furnace. Gallium or gallium phosphide is added to the silicon, where the concentration of gallium atoms should be in the range from 5 ppma to 14 ppma. Crystal growth is initiated, followed by subdivision and inspection after the crystal rods or crystal bars have grown, yielding the desired silicon wafers. With this solution, the refined metallurgical silicon can be used for manufacturing of solar cells, so as to reduce the cost of materials, and it is conducive to the universal application of silicon solar cells.
