A Study on Characterization and Prevention of Shadows in Cast Mono-Crystalline Silicon Ingots

Naigen Zhou et al.

Summary: This study analyzes the formation of dark shadow areas in infrared images of CMC-Si ingots and proposes optimizing the growth process to avoid such shadows. It is found that the shadows in CMC-Si are caused by dispersed SiC particles, which induce dislocations, subgrain boundaries, and strip-shaped grains, leading to decreased quality and minority carrier lifetime. An optimized process successfully produces silicon ingots without any shadows, and it is discovered that preventing shadow formation involves maintaining a smooth liquid phase temperature gradient, limiting the maximum crystal growth rate below 1.1 cm/h, and reducing the value of G(L)/V below 0.235.

Numerical and experimental investigation of octagonal thermal field for improving multi-crystalline silicon ingot quality

Liang He et al.

Summary: This paper focused on studying the effects of an improved octagonal thermal field on the quality of multi-crystalline silicon ingot. Numerical results showed that the modified furnace achieved a more uniform temperature distribution and lower temperature gradients. Experimental tests indicated that the modified octagonal silicon ingot had lower defect density and improved conversion efficiency compared to the conventional ingot.
