Silicon wafer diamond wire cutting needs to balance cutting efficiency,silicon wafer quality,and environmental requirements.The following is a complete solution for core chemicals:
Diamond wire cutting fluid for photovoltaic silicon wafers is mainly used in the cutting process of photovoltaic silicon wafers.The following is its specific introduction:
Cutting effect
①Suspension and dispersion of silicon carbide particles:It can effectively suspend silicon carbide particles,making them more evenly distributed in the cutting fluid,improving cutting efficiency,and reducing cutting consumption.
②Lubrication of silicon wafer surface:A protective film is formed on the surface of the silicon wafer to reduce cutting resistance,ensure smooth surface of the cut product,and reduce scratches and damage.
③Cooling cutting process:effectively dissipate heat,reduce cutting stress,avoid problems such as silicon wafer deformation and brittleness caused by high temperature,and improve the quality and yield of silicon wafers.
Industry advantages
①Improving cutting quality:It can reduce the roughness of the processed surface,improve surface smoothness,make the silicon wafer surface smoother,reduce processing errors,improve processing accuracy and repeatability,and help meet the high requirements of the photovoltaic industry for silicon wafer quality.
②Reducing processing costs:It can reduce the wear and damage of diamond wire,extend its service life,and thus reduce the frequency and cost of diamond wire replacement.In addition,the cutting fluid itself has the characteristics of high concentration ratio and low addition amount,resulting in lower usage costs.
③Good environmental performance:It is usually a water-based cutting fluid that does not contain halogens,organic silicon defoamers,or other harmful substances.It is harmless to human health and the environment,and can be cleaned with water without using organic solvents.It has good environmental protection and recyclability.
Scope of application
④Suitable for diamond wire cutting processing of various hard and brittle materials such as monocrystalline silicon,polycrystalline silicon,semiconductors,wafers,chips,sapphires,ceramics,etc.,meeting the cutting needs of different materials and processes.With the continuous development of the photovoltaic industry,the demand for silicon wafers continues to increase,and the application of diamond wire cutting fluid for photovoltaic silicon wafers is becoming increasingly widespread in the industry.
