DEVICE FOR CONTINUOUS GROUPED GROWING OF ORIENTED LAYERS OF SILICON ON A CARBONIC FABRIC Russian patent published in 2005 - IPC

FIELD: devices for continuous grouped growing of the orientated layers of silicon on a carbonic fabric.

SUBSTANCE: the invention is pertaining to the field of growing of polycrystallic layers from a melt of silicon and may be used in production of solar cells (photo-converters) Substance of the invention: the device consist of a crucible for a melt mounted inside a heater, a substrates connected to gears of their relocation and a capillary feeding mechanism. The substrates are made out of a carbonic reticulated fabric, and the capillary feeding mechanism consists of two horizontal sections, located to the left and to the right of the crucible, each of which has a tail swathed by harnesses out of a carbonic thread. The crucible is made with the bottom hollow elongated spout supplied with an independent heater, under the crucible there is a tank for a drain of the crucible residue, the inner surface of which is coated by a layer of a hexagonal boron nitride, and above the crucible a vibrating feeder for feeding the ground silicon is mounted.

EFFECT: the invention ensures growing of polycrystallic layers from a melt of silicon.
