Abstract:Metallurgical-grade silicon is purified by using electron beam melting (EBM) technology in this paper. The distribution of impurity aluminum in silicon is uneven in ingot preparation, which shows the enrichment trend that from the bottom to the top and from the edge to the centre of the ingot. The content of aluminum is low in marginally place of ingot, and is lower than the detection limit of ICP-AES (1×10-5%). The theoretical analysis on aluminum evaporation is conducted. The relation between volatilization … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
