Abstract: Directional solidification is a main technology to remove metal impurities in silicon. These impurities can be enriched to the final solidification region by segregation effect. The effect of segregation depends on the driving force of impurities transport at the front of solid-liquid interface. However, during traditional directional solidification technology, the driving force provided by thermal gradient is limited, so that the deep removal of impurities can only be achieved by reducing the solidification rate or increasing the solidification times. In this study, the directional solidification of silicon is achieved by the induction of electron beam, the purification effect of Fe and its influence mechanism are investigated. The results show that Fe content is reduced to less than 0.2×10-6 by the induction of electron beam. The diffusion layer thickness of Fe is 4.13×10-4 m, which is one order of magnitude smaller than that during traditional directional solidification. The large temperature gradient formed by electron beam enhances the convection of melt, and the directional migration of electrons interacts with impurity elements, which increase the driving force of impurity transport at the front of solid-liquid interface.
