Annex 2 to Contract CV

1.	GENERAL DESCRIPTION

The SCU 400 is a new stand-alone furnace for melting and crystallising of solar grade silicon into an ingot for photo voltaic use. We offer the SCU 400 as a square furnace concept. The size of the furnace allows to use different sizes of hot zones to vary the crucible sizes, if required.

The SCU 400 allows to melt and crystallise one (1) ingot per cycle.

The offered hot zone of the furnace is designed to use the new crucible generation with average dimensions of approx. 840 x 840 mm and 420 mm height. With this hot zone it is possible to melt and crystallize a Si ingot with a weight of approx.: 400 kg per cycle resulting in an expected capacity of approx. 6 MWp/y.

The principle layout of one single Silicon Melting, Crystallization and Annealing Unit is given in the attached drawing no.0.520-064317.

Remark:

The data mentioned in the Technical Specification hereafter are made for one (1) SCU 400 furnace, if not otherwise stated.

1.1	Features of the SCU 400 furnace design

No movement of the mould during processing.

ALD Vacuum Technologies GmbH

Annex 2 to Contract CV

Bottom and top heater design with cooling trap in the bottom section, which allows a controlled crystallization with high efficiency. No side heaters are required.

The process steps "Start-Up Cycle", "Melt-Down", "Crystallizing", "Annealing" and "Cool-Down" of photo voltaic silicon will be performed automatically PLC-controlled under vacuum and/or controlled atmosphere.

PLC-controlled system is proven for industrial scale networking of all extended SCU furnaces. Software is capable to apply data for a central process control.

Vacuum pumping system with dry fore pump to reduce service and maintenance work.

Safety features such as chamber pressure relief, over-temperature protection, water detection and chamber bottom shielding tiles protect the furnace operations personnel in case of a crucible run out.

The hot zone is designed as a complete module which can be removed in one unit and transported in a separate workshop area for service and maintenance purposes. This allows the hot zone to realize a short down time at the furnace site.

1.2	Principle Furnace Concept

The SCU 400 furnace concept is a proven design in the application of melting and crystallizing of silicon for solar application. The furnace is equipped with a water cooled furnace housing. A lid on top of the furnace can be moved for loading and unloading of the mould. The mould will be placed on a support and is not moved during processing. The melting and crystallizing is realized by using a top and a bottom heater.

The heaters and the mould are surrounded by a specially treated graphite insulation material. During the melting process the bottom is insulated with a movable heat gate, which will be moved aside before starting with the crystallization of the liquid material. A cooling trap for crystallization is located under the heat gate. The crystallization speed of the liquid Si inside the mould is controlled via the power control of the top and bottom heater.

To exchange the atmosphere and to control the pressure inside the furnace a vacuum pumping system is used.

The operator control is equipped with all the function and process visualization to operate the furnace and to document the process data in an automatic mode. The supplied furnace SCU 400 will be equipped with proven components of high quality.
