It is for. Regular irregularities are intentionally formed on the substrate surface, and it is more preferable that the distance between the projections be precisely controlled.
- the distance between the closest projections is preferably 0.5 mm or more and 2 mm or less. If it is less than 0.5 mm, the crystal grains of the plate-like silicon obtained become too small, and sufficient improvement of the characteristics of the solar cell can not be expected.
- the height difference of the unevenness is preferably 0.1 mm or more and 1 mm or less. If the height difference is less than 0.1 mm, although it depends on the distance between the convex portions, it is not preferable because crystal nuclei are also generated in the peripheral portion of the convex portions due to the large tip angle of the convex portions. .

- argon helium or the like
- argon is more preferable in terms of cost, and it is more cost-effective to build a circulating system.
- silicon oxide is formed and adheres to the surface of the substrate or to one wall of the chamber, so the oxygen component needs to be removed as much as possible.
- a substrate C having a temperature equal to or lower than the silicon melt temperature enters the silicon melt 94 in the crucible 93 from the left side in the figure and is immersed in the silicon melt 94. At this time, the silicon melt is held by the heater 95 above the melting point.
- the substrate is provided with a structure that allows easy control of temperature control.
- the material of the substrate is not particularly limited, but is preferably a material with good thermal conductivity or a material with excellent heat resistance, more preferably graphite subjected to high purity treatment and the like.
- high purity black bell, kerosene carbide, quartz, boron nitride, alumina, dinolecoium oxide, aluminum nitride, metal and the like can be used, but an optimum material may be selected according to the purpose.

- the material of the substrate can be appropriately selected in consideration of various properties such as industrial cost and the quality of the obtained plate-like silicon substrate.
- the fixed substrate refers to a portion connecting the shaft 9 and the substrate C, which is not shown here.
- the means for cooling the fixed substrate and the substrate C can be roughly classified into two types of direct cooling and indirect cooling. Direct cooling is a means of blowing gas directly to the substrate for cooling, and indirect cooling is a means of indirectly cooling the substrate with gas or liquid.

- nitrogen, argon, helium or the like which is an inert gas for the purpose of preventing the oxidation of plate-like silicon.
- helium or a mixed gas of helium and nitrogen is preferable in consideration of the cooling capacity, but nitrogen is preferable in consideration of cost.
- the temperature of the substrate is preferably adjusted by the heating mechanism together with the cooling mechanism.
- the substrate which has entered into the silicon melt plate-like silicon grows on the surface of the substrate.
- the substrate is immersed in the silicon melt to a predetermined depth, but preferably adjusted so that the entire substrate is not immersed in the silicon melt.
- the substrate escapes from the melt, but the substrate side receives heat from the silicon melt, and the temperature of the substrate tends to rise. And then the substrate is silicon melted at the same temperature.
- a cooling mechanism is required to lower the temperature of the substrate.
- the heating mechanism may be a high frequency induction heating method or a resistance heating method.
- the condition is that the heating heater for maintaining the silicon melt state is not affected.
- the important thing along with the temperature control of the substrate is the temperature control of the silicon melt. If the temperature of the melt is set near the melting point, the surface of the silicon melt may solidify when the substrate contacts the melt, so the temperature of the melt is preferably equal to or higher than the melting point. 'It is preferable to control closely by using multiple thermocouples or radiation thermometers.
- the control site has a structure in which the temperature is indirectly controlled by inserting a thermocouple into the crucible or the like, or the temperature of the silicon melt can be controlled by a radiation thermometer.

- a pedestal 96 is placed on the heat insulating material 97.
- An elevator shaft 98 is connected to the pedestal 96, and it is necessary that an elevator mechanism be provided. This is because, in order to grow the plate-like silicon on the substrate C, the substrate is always moved up and down so that it can be immersed in the melt 94 at the same depth.
- silicon As a method to keep the surface position constant, that is, as a method of replenishing the amount of silicon that has been taken out as silicon plate from the silicon melt and lost as steam, silicon It is possible to use a method of melting and charging the crystal (mass), sequentially charging the melt as it is, or sequentially charging the powder.
- the method for keeping the position constant is not particularly limited. It is preferable to avoid disturbing the surface of the melt as much as possible. If the surface of the melt is disturbed, the wave shape generated at that time is reflected on the melt surface side of the plate-like silicon obtained, which may impair the uniformity of the obtained sheet.
- a silicon block whose concentration of boron is adjusted so that the specific resistance of the obtained plate-like silicon has a desired concentration is filled up with a crucible 93 made of high purity graphite.
- the chamber 1 is evacuated and the chamber 1 is depressurized to a predetermined pressure. After that, introduce Ar gas into the chamber 1 and keep Ar gas flowing from the top of the chamber always at 10 L / min. The constant flow of gas in this way is to obtain a clean silicon surface.
- the temperature of the heater 95 for melting silicon is set to 150 ° C. to completely melt the silicon block in ⁇ ⁇ 93.
- silicon powder is newly charged so that the surface level of the silicon melt is approximately lcm lower than the top surface of the solder.
- the heat for silicon melting is not heated up to 150 ° C. at a time, but is heated to about 130 ° C. at a heating rate of 10 ° C. to 50 ° C. Zmin, and then Preferably, the temperature is raised to a predetermined temperature. This is because when the temperature is rapidly raised, thermal stress is concentrated on the corners of the crucible and the like, leading to breakage of the crucible.
- the silicon melt temperature at this time is preferably 140 ° C. or more and 150 ° C. or less. Since the melting point of silicon is near 140 ° C., if the temperature is set to 140 ° C. or less, the surface of the molten metal gradually hardens from the weir wall. However, since the silicon melt has heat convection, it is possible to set it to 140 ° C when not producing for a long time. In addition, if the temperature is set to 150 ° C. or higher, the growth rate of the obtained plate-like silicon will be slow, and the productivity will deteriorate, which is preferable. Yes.

- the trajectory for producing plate-like silicon on the substrate may be the trajectory shown in FIG. 9, or it may be a circular trajectory or an elliptical trajectory. In particular, a structure that can realize an arbitrary trajectory is preferable.
- the surface temperature of the substrate at the time of entering the silicon melt is preferably 200 ° C. or more and 110 ° C. or less. This is because stable control becomes difficult when the substrate temperature is 200 ° C. or less. That is, in the case of continuous production, the substrate waiting to be immersed in the chamber receives radiant heat from the silicon melt and it becomes difficult to always maintain the temperature below 2 Q 0 ° C., resulting in the quality of the plate-like silicon obtained. This is because it leads to the occurrence of variations. Further, if the temperature of the substrate is 110 ° C. or higher, not only the growth rate of the plate-like silicon will be slowed, but also the silicon may stick to the substrate or productivity may deteriorate. As described above, it is preferable to have both the cooling mechanism and the heating mechanism, because the obtained plate-like silicon is likely to have variations depending on the temperature of the substrate.
