태양광산업의 value chain중 up-stream쪽인 고순도 실리콘산업은 셀, 모듈, 시스템 쪽에 비하여 영업 이익률이나 부가가치 측면에서 매우 높은 성장성을 현재 보여주고 있으며 최근 원자력산업의 안전성 문제가 대두됨으로 인하여 태양광수요가 전 세계적으로 증대되는 경향을 나타내어 태양광용 실리콘의 수요가 확대됨과 아울러 spot시장에서의 가격 또한 상승하고 있다. 이런 관점에서 잉곳 및 웨이퍼 가공 중에 발생하는 고순도 실리콘 폐기물의 재활용 이 다시 주목받고 있다. 태양전지 웨이퍼(wafer)용 소재는 6N급 이상의 결정질 실리콘 잉곳(ingot)이 주를 이루며, 고효율의 셀을 제조하기 위해서 단결정 실리콘 잉곳이 많이 사용된다. 실리콘 단결정을 육성하는 방법에는 Floating zone 법, Czochralski 법, Bridgeman 법, CVD 등 매우 다양하다. 이 중 Czochralski 법은 전체 생산량의 대부분을 차지하고 있는 방법으로, 용융액에서 결정을 인상하여 ingot을 제작하는 방법이다. 그러나 대량의 전기에너지를 소비하여 제작되는 고순도의 실리콘 단결정 잉곳은 후 가공공정에서 그 절반 이상이 분말(powder) 및 슬러지(sludge)로 폐기되므로, 자원의 재활용 및 환경오염 측면에서 주요과제가 되고 있다. Czochralski 법으로 제작된 ingot의 경우 그 표면이 매끄럽지 못하여, 웨이퍼 단위의 가공 시 형태가 진원이 될 수 있도록 표면을 미리 연마(grinding)하는데, 이때에도 미세 분말이 다량 발생하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 고순도 단결정 실리콘 ingot의 연마 가공공정에서 발생한 미세 분말을 용해하여 보았다. 진공 챔버(chamber) 내부에 유도가열 코일과 냉도가니로 구성된 장비를 통해 전자기유도가열을 이용하여 실리콘 분말 폐기물을 용해하고, 그 시편을 ICP-MS 및 비저항 측정을 통해 분말 의 특성을 조사하여 재활용 가능성을 검토해 보았다.

The purpose of this work is to investigate a back surface field (BSF) on variety wafer resistivity for industrial crystalline silicon solar cells. As pointed out in this manuscript, doping a crucible grown Cz Si ingot with Ga offers a sure way of eliminating the light induced degradation (LID) because the LID defect is composed of B and O complex. However, the low segregation coefficient of Ga in Si causes a much wider resistivity variation along the Ga doped Cz Si ingot. Because of the resistivity variation the Cz Si wafer from different locations has different performance as know. In the light of B doped wafer, we made wider resistivity in Si ingot; we investigated the how resistivities work on the solar cells performance as a BSF quality.

Soft magnetic silicon steels containing up to 6.5wt% of silicon were prepared by powder metallurgical processing and their magnetic properties were evaluated. The magnetic properties of P/M silicon steels are similarly affected by the silicon addition as those of conventional ingot processed ones but are also significantly affected by density and interstitial impurities particularly oxygen content. Magnetic flux density, $B_{10}$ and coercivity, Hc, tends to decrease with silicon content whereas maximum permeability, ${\mu}m$, decreases first and then increases rapidly above 5 wt% silicon. Increasing density also increases magnetic flux density and maximum permeability but reduces coereivity. The latter two properties are, however, affected more strongly with oxygen content.

태양전지 제조공정 중 잉곳의 절삭공정 후 진행되는 태양광 실리콘 웨이퍼 세정에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 태양광 실리콘 웨이퍼는 잉곳의 생산방법에 따라 단결정과 다결정 웨이퍼로 분류되고, 절삭 방법에 따라서는 슬러리로 절삭한 웨이퍼와 다이아몬드 와이어로 절삭한 웨이퍼로 구분할 수 있으며, 이의 방법들에 따라 웨이퍼 표면과 오염원이 달라질 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 세정대상물에 따라 오염원과 웨이퍼 표면의 특성을 관찰하였고 적합한 세정제를 개발하여 물성 및 세정성을 평가하여 적용성을 확인하고자 하였다. 개발된 세정제로 세정한 웨이퍼는 XPS 분석결과 잔류 오염물질이 관찰되지 않았으며, 표면조직화 후 균일한 패턴을 형성함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, 개발된 세정제를 웨이퍼 생산현장에서 테스트를 진행하여 기존 세정제보다 우수한 세정결과를 확보하였다.

This study presents the results on the changes of crucible thermal conductivity and inflow of Ar, and constructed the mathematical model about heat transfer into furnace. As process variables, simulation model was designated thermal conductivity of crucible to $0.5W{\cdot}m^{-1}{\cdot}K^{-1}$, $1W{\cdot}m^{-1}{\cdot}K^{-1}$, $2W{\cdot}m^{-1}{\cdot}K^{-1}$, $4W{\cdot}m^{-1}{\cdot}K^{-1}$, and inflow rate of Ar to 15 L/min, 30 L/min, 60 L/min. Initial condition and boundary condition were set respectively in two terms of process. Each initial conditions were set up by the preceding simulation of heat and fluid flow. The primary goal is the application of unidirectional growth of Si ingot using the result. In the result of the change of heat conductivity of crucible, the higher thermal conductivity of crucible shows the shorter solidification time and the bigger temperature difference. And the flow patterns are changed with the inflow rate of Ar. Finally, we found that the lower crucible's thermal conductivity, the better crucible is at polycrystalline Si ingot growth. But in case of Ar inflow, it is hard to say about good condition. This data will be evaluated as useful reference used in allied study or process variable control of production facilities.

Reducing the wafer breakage rate and sawing thinner wafers will decrease the cost of solar cells. This study was carried out in order to identify ways to achieve this goal. In this study, the cutting force characteristics using an ingot tilting-type diamond multi wire-sawing machine were analyzed. The cutting force was analyzed while varying the tilting angles and wire speed. The obtained data were analyzed by classifying the tangential cutting force and the normal cutting force. In this cutting force experiment, the difference between the forces was confirmed; it was found that it rises with increasing the tilting angles and decreases when the wire speed elevates. The resulting value can be utilized as basic data for the determination of an ideal cutting recipe.

So for the quartz-glassy crucible wastes which was used for pulling up silicon-single-crystal ingot have simply reused for refractory raw-materials, or exhausted. This study is concerned on the advanced recycling-technology that is obtained by the proper micro-particle preparation process in order to fabricate fine amorphous silica filler for EMC (Epoxy Molding Compound). Therefore, this paper will deal with the physical, chemical and thermal pre-treatment process for efficient impurity removal and with the proper micro-particle process for producing the amorphous silicafiller. In view of the results, if the chemical, physical and thermal pre-treatment process for efficient elimination of impurity was passed, the purity of wasted fused glassy crucible is almost equal to the its of first anhydrous quartz glass. Thus, it was understood that this wasted fused glassy crucible was sufficient value of recycling, though it was damaged. When the ingot was fabricated, Phase transformation of crystallization by heat treatment (heat hysteresis phenomenon) was not changed. So, it was understood that as fused silica in the amorphous state, as It is, recycling possibility was very high

This paper aims to investigate the effect of B and Si upon the mechanical properties, microstructure and corrosion resistance of Co-Cr base alloy. Ten groups of alloy ingot ingot with various contents of B and Si were remelted by high frequency electrical induction furnace and cast into tensile specimen of ADA Specification No. 14 Tensile and hardness test were carried out by Amsler and Rockwell hardness tester(R-30N), respectively. The microstructures of specimen were observed by SEM. The results obtained are summarized as follows : 1. As B content is increased, tensile strength, yield strength and Rockwell hardness number(R-30N) are also increased significantly, while the elongation is decreased significantly. 2. As Si contect os increased, no significant chang in tensile strength is noticed, yield strength is slightly decreased, but Rockwell hardness number(R-30N) is moderately in creased, Elongation marks maxium value with 1% Si content while with more than 1% Si it is decreased. 3. As B content is increased corrosion resistance is decreased and is at best with 1.5% B content. Corrosion resistance is increased with the increase of Si content and the alloys with Si over 3.0% showed corrosion resistance. 4. As B content increased, precipitates are increased in number at grain boundaries. The grain size tends to become coarse with the increase of Si content. 5. Co rich-Cr alloy is present through matrix whereas at the grain boundaries Cr base precipitates are primarily formed.
