  • Patent number: 10518237
    Abstract: The present invention relates to a gas distribution unit for a fluidized bed reactor system, a fluidized bed reactor system having the gas distribution unit, and a method for preparing granular polysilicon using the fluidized bed reactor system. The gas distribution unit for a fluidized bed reactor system according to the present invention enables gas flow rate control and gas composition control for each zone within the plenum chamber. In addition, a fluidized bed reactor system having the gas distribution unit enables shape control of a fluidized bed (in particular, transition between a bubbling fluidized bed and a spout fluidized bed). The method for preparing granular polysilicon using the fluidized bed reactor system not only simultaneously improves process stability and productivity, but also enables more flexible handling in the event of an abnormal situation.

  • Patent number: 9093580
    Abstract: Provided is a method of manufacturing a solar cell, wherein a solar cell is manufactured by combining a damage removal etching process, a texturing process and an edge isolation process. The method is advantageous in that RIE and DRE are conducted, and then DRE/PSG and/or an edge isolation removal process are simultaneously conducted, so that the movement of a substrate (that is, a wafer) is minimized, thereby reducing the damage rate of the substrate.
