Preservation of Seed Crystals in Feedstock Melting for Cast Quasi-Single Crystalline Silicon Ingots
The preservation of seed crystals is important for the casting of quasi-single crystalline (QSC) silicon ingots.We carried out transient global simulations of the feedstock melting process in an industrial-sized directional solidification (DS) furnace to investigate key factors influencing seed preservation.The power distribution between the top an
