SiBrickScan (SBS) Silicon Ingot Analyzer

SiBrickScan (SBS) is a dedicated at-line system for the FT-IR quantification of interstitial Oxygen in complete Silicon ingots, resulting in a concentration profile along the longitudinal axis. Accessing this information without sawing wafers or test samples is a major and cost saving advantage.

Get Valuable Information to Check and Optimize Product Quality

知道Si ungots的氧梯度可以得出重要的结论,例如控制和优化硅结晶过程或确定批次不良原材料。因此,SBS将通过优化产品质量并减少有缺陷的晶片量来帮助节省成本。单个橡皮饼的随机抽样确实会大大减少样本准备工作,并更早地提供相关信息。

Highest Sensitivity by State-of-the-Art FTIR Spectroscopy

Interstitial Oxygen quantification by FT-IR spectroscopy (ASTM/SEMI 1188) is a well-known and important analysis method, but limited to thin Si samples in the low mm range. SiBrickScan (SBS) overcomes this limitation and is the first commercially available completely dedicated system to determine the Oxygen gradient in complete ingots along their major axis without the need of time-consuming and destructive thin sample preparation. SBS makes smart use of a related infrared overtone absorption band combined with reliable and state-of-the-art Bruker FT-IR technology.

アプリケーション

Applications

Quantification of Interstitial Oxygen without preparation of thin samples

SiBrickScan allows for the analysis of interstitial Oxygen in Silicon ingots up to 500 mm length. This valuable information enables the optimization of the crystallization process as well as the qualification of individual ingots before sawing.

High Quality Calibration Directly Linked to ASTM/SEMI 1188

SBS Oxygen evaluation uses a calibration which is directly linked to/derived from ASTM/SEMI 1188. Since the correlation of both methods is almost perfect, the interstitial Oxygen concentration is evaluated with highest accuracy.

Highest Detection Sensitivity with SBS

Depending on sample shape and properties (e.g. resistance) SBS can achieve interstitial Oxygen detection limits < 2 ppma (< 1017/cm3). If you are interested in feasibility test measurements, please contact your local Bruker representative.

仕様

Specifications

针对不同铸锭类型的专用SBS版本

SBS is available for poly or mono crystalline standard square PV ingots (cross section ~156 x 156 mm2)以及为圆柱状的硅锭e。g. with ~150 mm (6") or ~200 mm (8") diameter. Systems for other diameters & shapes might be available on request.

Industry Compatible and Robust Design

A robust and precise linear drive automatically controls the ingot measurement position: depending on configuration and ingot type a spatial Oxygen resolution of ~12 mm can be achieved along the ingot axis. Reliable and safe interlock mechanisms exclude the risk that the operator comes into contact with moving parts.

Intuitive and Easy to Use Software Interface

SiBrickScan (SBS) includes a dedicated and intuitive graphical user interface optimized for the industrial environment. Also by normal production workers the standard operation procedure can be learned within minutes: simply load the ingot, choose the desired analysis recipe and start the measurement. The measurement itself will then be conducted automatically, including data evaluation.

Innovative high sensitivity beam path with included reference sample

A unique and innovative infrared beam path ensures highest measurement sensitivity. A high quality reference sample is already included in the instrument and the reference measurement is done automatically.

Detector options according to customer requirements

SBS is either available with a Stirling cooled detector, operating independently from liquid Nitrogen. Optionally SiBrickScan can also be ordered with liquid Nitrogen cooled detector, including an automatic refill device.
