Crystal pulling cost of LONGi is significantly reduced by new processes such as large charge, high pulling speed and multi-time crystal pulling, supporting equipment improvement technology, as well as the introduction of some new materials and automatic control systems.
Low-degradation Monocrystal
Through the improvement of the quality of monocrystalline silicon wafers and the optimization of the cell-side process, monocrystalline has basically solved the initial attenuation problem and disclosed this technology to the entire industry.
New Materials
The costs of non-silicon raw and auxiliary materials used in crystal pulling account for about 25% of the total cost. Prolonging the service life of non-silicon raw and auxiliary materials is an important way to reduce the crystal pulling cost. For example, the use of carbon-carbon composite materials and the application of crucible coating technology.
Automation and Intelligence
Intelligent manufacturing is becoming the future technology development trend, which can improve the effective production capacity, greatly reduce the number of workers and improve the consistency of the crystal growth process. Automatic and intelligent means are used to control the single crystal furnace thereby reducing human intervention in the crystal growth process.
Slicing
Slicing can greatly improve the yield per kilogram of mono-crystal and the slicing capacity, contributing greatly to the value, and provide strong support for the reversal of the cost of monocrystalline and polycrystalline silicon wafers in the near future. The slicing advantages of mono-crystal have been gradually transformed into industrial demand.
