技术领域technical field
本公开涉及用于在流化床中热分解含硅气体以产生硅包覆粒子的反应器。The present disclosure relates to a reactor for thermally decomposing a silicon-containing gas in a fluidized bed to produce silicon-coated particles.
背景技术Background technique
由于优异的质量和热传递、沉积表面增加和连续性生产,含硅气体在流化床中的热分解是制造用于光伏和半导体工业的多晶硅的有吸引力的工艺。与西门子(Siemens)型反应器相比,流化床反应器在一部分的能量消耗下提供明显更高的生产率。流化床反应器可以是连续的和高度自动化的,从而显著减少人工成本。Thermal decomposition of silicon-containing gases in fluidized beds is an attractive process for the manufacture of polysilicon for the photovoltaic and semiconductor industries due to excellent quality and heat transfer, increased deposition surface and continuous production. Compared to Siemens type reactors, fluidized bed reactors offer significantly higher productivity at a fraction of the energy consumption. Fluidized bed reactors can be continuous and highly automated, thereby significantly reducing labor costs.
一种这样的流化床反应器在WO2011063007A2中描述并在图1中显示。在该反应器中,内壳大致竖直延伸穿过反应器,并且大致是圆柱形的,有大致圆形的横截面。衬里,位于所述内壳的内向,大致竖直延伸穿过反应器,并且也大致是圆柱形的,有大致圆形的横截面。所述衬里限定了反应器室并保护内壳免于被硅包覆粒子磨损。所述衬里由选定的材料构造以避免所述硅粒子的污染。所述衬里因而保护流化床中的种晶粒子和产物粒子免于被所述内壳和/或容器壁材料污染。One such fluidized bed reactor is described in WO2011063007A2 and shown in FIG. 1 . In this reactor, the inner shell extends generally vertically through the reactor and is generally cylindrical with a generally circular cross-section. A liner, located inwardly of the inner shell, extends generally vertically through the reactor and is also generally cylindrical, having a generally circular cross-section. The liner defines the reactor chamber and protects the inner shell from abrasion by the silicon-coated particles. The liner is constructed of materials selected to avoid contamination by the silicon particles. The liner thus protects the seed particles and product particles in the fluidized bed from contamination by the inner shell and/or vessel wall material.
WO2011063007A2的内壳和衬里被间隙分开,致使在所述内壳和所述衬里之间提供了圆柱形形状的环形空间。在所述内壳的底部提供密封,以阻止气体和颗粒材料从反应室进入所述空间。The inner shell and liner of WO2011063007A2 are separated by a gap such that a cylindrically shaped annular space is provided between said inner shell and said liner. A seal is provided at the bottom of the inner shell to prevent gases and particulate material from entering the space from the reaction chamber.
因为所述内壳和所述衬里由热膨胀系数不同的材料制成,并且因为在所述反应器的操作期间,反应室中的气压与所述内壳和所述衬里之间的空间中的气压不同,可能发生问题。Because the inner shell and the liner are made of materials with different coefficients of thermal expansion, and because during operation of the reactor, the air pressure in the reaction chamber differs from the air pressure in the space between the inner shell and the liner different, problems may occur.
这样的系统中的特殊问题是所述内壳和所述衬里之间的密封失效。在这样的系统中,典型的密封布置是位于两个水平的金属平表面之间的平垫片。这种布置是有问题的,因为所述垫片仅仅通过平表面之间的摩擦力固定就位。流化床反应器在操作期间产生显著的振动。结果,所述平垫片随着振动从所述两个金属平表面之间缓慢滑出,并且压力冲击导致在反应器底部的构件在周围移动。A particular problem in such systems is failure of the seal between the inner shell and the liner. In such systems, a typical sealing arrangement is a flat gasket between two horizontal flat metal surfaces. This arrangement is problematic because the gaskets are held in place only by friction between the flat surfaces. Fluidized bed reactors generate significant vibrations during operation. As a result, the flat gasket slowly slides out between the two metal flat surfaces with vibrations, and pressure shocks cause components at the bottom of the reactor to move around.
当有工艺扰乱时,平垫片的面向内的边缘表面可以与所述反应器室内部的硅粒子发生直接接触也是个问题。所述垫片因与热的硅粒子直接接触而过热并且损坏。一旦平垫片的最内区域损坏和失去,则所述热的硅粒子作用于下一层并最终“烧”穿整个垫片,从而破坏所述密封的完整性。这也影响产物质量。小块的脱落的垫片材料进入所述反应器室并污染在其中包含的所述硅粒子。It is also a problem that the inwardly facing edge surface of the flat gasket can come into direct contact with the silicon particles inside the reactor chamber when there are process disturbances. The gasket overheats and is damaged by direct contact with the hot silicon particles. Once the innermost region of the flat gasket is damaged and lost, the hot silicon particles act on the next layer and eventually "burn" through the entire gasket, destroying the integrity of the seal. This also affects product quality. Small pieces of dislodged gasket material enter the reactor chamber and contaminate the silicon particles contained therein.
因此,需要一种密封布置,其在用于沉积硅的流化床反应器中存在的条件下能有效工作。Therefore, there is a need for a sealing arrangement that will function effectively under the conditions present in a fluidized bed reactor for depositing silicon.
发明内容Contents of the invention
公开了用于制造高纯度硅包覆粒子的流化床反应器系统。所述流化床反应器系统包括由在所述流化床中的粒子污染最小化的材料构造的衬里。在该反应器中,内壳大致竖直延伸穿过反应器,并且大致是圆柱形的,有大致圆形的横截面。衬里,位于所述内壳的内向,大致竖直延伸穿过反应器,并且也大致是圆柱形的,有大致圆形的横截面。所述衬里限定了反应器室并保护内壳以免由于与硅包覆粒子接触引起磨损。A fluidized bed reactor system for producing high purity silicon coated particles is disclosed. The fluidized bed reactor system includes a liner constructed of a material that minimizes particle contamination in the fluidized bed. In this reactor, the inner shell extends generally vertically through the reactor and is generally cylindrical with a generally circular cross-section. A liner, located inwardly of the inner shell, extends generally vertically through the reactor and is also generally cylindrical, having a generally circular cross-section. The liner defines the reactor chamber and protects the inner shell from abrasion due to contact with the silicon-coated particles.
一种系统包含容器,所述容器具有外壳、与所述外壳的内表面邻接的绝缘层、位于所述绝缘层内向并定位在多个加热器内向的大致圆柱形的内壳。有利地,所述内壳由高温合金制成。大致圆柱形的衬里位于所述内壳之内,并在所述内壳和所述衬里之间提供圆柱形形状的环形空间。所述衬里限定了反应室,所述反应室含有许多种晶粒子和/或硅包覆粒子。所述衬里可以由非污染性材料制成,所述材料包括但不限于石英、硅、低镍合金、高温合金、钴合金、氮化硅、石墨、碳化硅、钼、或钼合金。A system includes a vessel having an outer shell, an insulating layer adjacent an inner surface of the outer shell, a generally cylindrical inner shell inwardly of the insulating layer and positioned inwardly of a plurality of heaters. Advantageously, said inner shell is made of superalloy. A generally cylindrical liner is located within the inner shell and provides a cylindrically shaped annular space between the inner shell and the liner. The liner defines a reaction chamber containing a plurality of seed particles and/or silicon-coated particles. The liner may be made of non-polluting materials including, but not limited to, quartz, silicon, low nickel alloys, superalloys, cobalt alloys, silicon nitride, graphite, silicon carbide, molybdenum, or molybdenum alloys.
所述内壳和衬里的底端表面支撑在所述反应器底部附近。支撑组件包括被布置成密封所述内壳和衬里之间空间的底部以阻挡气体和颗粒材料进入所述空间的部件。所述组件有利地将包括在相邻的钢制反应器构件的面对表面之间的一个或多个O形环。每个O形环包含在钢制反应器部分的水平表面中限定的环形沟道或沟槽中。O形环位于限定所述反应器室的表面的径向向外的一定距离处,因此所述O形环不被位于所述室内部的热硅粒子触碰。结果,所述硅粒子没有由于与O形环接触引起的污染。因为所述热粒子不能触碰所述O形环并且因为所述钢制部分将吸收大部分的热并将其带走,从而维持了这种O形环的完整性。有利地,O形环提供在位于所述内壳和所述衬里之间的钢制密封环的上下两个表面处。所述钢制密封环有助于散热。因为每个O形环位于环形沟槽中,所以所述O形环无法从位置处滑出。Bottom end surfaces of the inner shell and liner are supported near the bottom of the reactor. The support assembly includes means arranged to seal the bottom of the space between the inner shell and the liner against the entry of gas and particulate material into the space. The assembly will advantageously comprise one or more O-rings between facing surfaces of adjacent steel reactor components. Each O-ring is contained in an annular channel or groove defined in the horizontal surface of the steel reactor section. The O-ring is located at a radially outward distance from the surface defining the reactor chamber so that it is not touched by hot silicon particles located inside the chamber. As a result, the silicon particles are free from contamination due to contact with the O-ring. The integrity of this O-ring is maintained because the hot particles cannot touch the O-ring and because the steel part will absorb most of the heat and carry it away. Advantageously, O-rings are provided at both upper and lower surfaces of the steel sealing ring located between said inner shell and said liner. The steel seal ring helps dissipate heat. Because each O-ring is seated in an annular groove, the O-ring cannot slip out of position.
所述系统还包括反应气体入口喷嘴、一个或多个流化气体入口例如多个流化喷嘴、和至少一个用于除去硅产物的出口。The system also includes a reactant gas inlet nozzle, one or more fluidization gas inlets, such as a plurality of fluidization nozzles, and at least one outlet for silicon product removal.

图1显示了制造包覆粒子的流化床反应器10的总体构造。图1的反应器,与WO2011063007A2的反应器相似,特别好地适合于通过热分解硅烷来产生硅。所述反应器10包括容器12,所述容器大致竖直地从基底170延伸到顶盖172、具有竖直的中心轴A1、并可以具有在不同的高度下不同的横截面尺寸。图1中显示的反应器具有横截面尺寸不同的五个区I-V。Figure 1 shows the general configuration of a fluidized bed reactor 10 for producing coated particles. The reactor of Figure 1, similar to that of WO2011063007A2, is particularly well suited for the production of silicon by thermal decomposition of silane. The reactor 10 includes a vessel 12 that extends generally vertically from a base 170 to a top 172, has a vertical central axis A1, and may have different cross-sectional dimensions at different heights. The reactor shown in Figure 1 has five zones I-V with different cross-sectional dimensions.

The illustrated inner shell is generally cylindrical with a generally circular cross-section. The inner shell may be constructed of any suitable material that can withstand the conditions within reactor 10 and is well suited to the high temperatures utilized to transfer heat into the fluidized bed. Because the pressure inside and outside the inner shell is similar, the inner shell can be thin. In some systems, the inner shell has a thickness of 5-10 mm, such as 6-8 mm.
衬里150,其可以是可拆卸的,定位在所述内壳140内距所述内壳140的内表面142的一小段距离处。图示的衬里150是大致圆柱形的,具有大致圆形的水平横截面,与内壳140同心,大致竖直延伸通过II-V区。衬里150具有内表面151,所述内表面至少部分限定反应器室15。A liner 150 , which may be removable, is positioned within the inner shell 140 at a small distance from the inner surface 142 of the inner shell 140 . The illustrated liner 150 is generally cylindrical, has a generally circular horizontal cross-section, is concentric with the inner shell 140, and extends generally vertically through regions II-V. The liner 150 has an inner surface 151 that at least partially defines the reactor chamber 15 .
衬里150提供所述流化床的密闭度并将它与所述反应器的其他部件隔离。特别是,衬里150保护内壳140免于被所述流化床中的硅包覆粒子和种晶粒子磨损并且保护所述粒子免于被所述内壳和/或容器壁材料污染。Liner 150 provides containment of the fluidized bed and isolates it from other components of the reactor. In particular, the liner 150 protects the inner shell 140 from abrasion by the silicon-coated particles and seed particles in the fluidized bed and protects the particles from contamination by the inner shell and/or vessel wall material.
衬里150由选定的不污染所述粒子的材料构造,并优选由能承受1600°F(870℃)的温度并维持稳定性的材料制成。衬里150的合适的材料包括但不限于非污染性材料,所述非污染性材料包括但不限于石英、硅、低镍合金、高温合金、钴合金、氮化硅、石墨、碳化硅、钼、或钼合金。在特定的系统中,所述衬里由碳化硅、钼或钼合金构造。碳化硅有利地具有2.2-2.4x 10-6/°F或3.9-4.0x 10-6/℃的低热膨胀系数。Liner 150 is constructed of a material selected to not contaminate the particles, and is preferably made of a material that can withstand temperatures of 1600°F (870°C) and maintain stability.

Insulation layer 130 is disposed adjacent housing 80 and is supported between lower seal support ring 220 and upper seal ring 230 . The inner shell 140 is positioned inwardly of the insulating layer 130 and supported by the lower sealing support ring 220 . The inner shell 140 has an outer surface 141 and an inner surface 142 . The illustrated surfaces 141 , 142 are concentric and, except for the divergence of the surfaces at the bottom portion of the inner shell 140 , are generally cylindrical. The liner 150 is positioned inwardly of the inner shell 140 . There is a narrow gap, for example 1.5mm measured laterally, between the inner shell 140 and the liner 150 to allow lateral thermal expansion. Due to said gap, there is an annular space 240 between the bottom seal and the top of the inner shell 140 . In the illustrated embodiment, the side boundaries of the annular space 240 are bounded by two vertically extending concentric surfaces 142, 152, which are cylinders. Together, the various components of the bottom seal assembly provide a seal extending from the inner shell 140 to the liner 150 to block gas from entering the space 240 between the inner shell 140 and the liner 150 through the bottom of the reactor chamber 15 .
外壳80、内壳140和下密封支撑环220各自由适合于耐受与加热流化床和冷却产物相关的温度梯度的材料构造。合适的材料包括不限于,奥氏体不锈钢(austeniticstainless steel)、高温金属合金例如合金、合金、和钴合金(例如,41)。Outer shell 80, inner shell 140, and lower seal support ring 220 are each constructed of materials suitable for withstanding temperature gradients associated with heating the fluidized bed and cooling the product.

The expandable support comprises members 241 , 242 firmly attached to the upper sealing ring 230 . The expansion joint system accommodates uneven expansion of the inner shell 140 and outer shell 80 of the reactor. The illustrated inner shell expansion device 160 is a generally cylindrical spring-type device with an inner diameter similar to that of the inner shell 140 . The inner shell expansion device 160 is configured to exert downward pressure on the inner shell 140 . In some systems, the inner shell expansion device 160 is a helical coil of flat wire or a wave spring, ie, a cylindrical stack of flat wire with waves in the wire.
随着反应器内温度升高,内壳140膨胀并且内壳膨胀装置160被推向上并压缩。在冷却时,内壳140收缩并且内壳膨胀装置160延长。内壳膨胀装置160也对内壳140施加压力。任选地,膨胀弹簧165可以提供在衬里150上方以容纳所述衬里的热膨胀。As the temperature within the reactor increases, the inner shell 140 expands and the inner shell expansion device 160 is pushed up and compressed. Upon cooling, the inner shell 140 contracts and the inner shell expansion device 160 lengthens. The inner shell expansion device 160 also applies pressure to the inner shell 140 . Optionally, an expansion spring 165 may be provided above the liner 150 to accommodate thermal expansion of the liner.
内壳140和衬里150的下端部分受支撑和密封,使得气体不从所述流化床流入所述内壳和所述衬里之间的环形空间240中。衬里150具有环形的底表面154,其被研磨得光滑而平坦以帮助形成良好的底部密封。在图示的系统中,衬里150的底表面154大致水平延伸。The lower end portions of the inner shell 140 and the liner 150 are supported and sealed such that gas does not flow from the fluidized bed into the annular space 240 between the inner shell and the liner. The liner 150 has an annular bottom surface 154 that is ground smooth and flat to help form a good bottom seal. In the illustrated system, the bottom surface 154 of the liner 150 extends generally horizontally.

Lower portion 272 includes a radially inwardly projecting flange 274 relative to upper portion 270 having a generally horizontal, upwardly facing flange surface 276 . The liner 150 is supported by the flange surface 276 . In the advantageous arrangement shown in FIG. 3 , the lower part 272 of the inner shell 140 is thicker than the upper part 270 measured horizontally. The greater thickness of lower portion 272 gives inner housing 140 a wider base to seat on seal support ring 220 . Advantageously, the lower portion 272 will be sufficiently thick that the base of the inner shell 140 can define holes to receive bolts or can support pegs to secure the inner shell to the container, for example to the seal support ring 220 . In the illustrated system, the outer surface 141 is flared toward the bottom of the inner shell 140 to provide additional thickness.
