Abstract

This paper discusses crucial aspects related to crucibles and coatings in the scope of silicon crystallization and melting. The paper thoroughly examines different types of crucibles, highlighting both their principal challenges and advantages. Additionally, it investigates coatings in-depth, examining their roles, stability, and wetting behaviour. Crucible selection criteria, including thermal properties, melt contamination, cost, reusability, and design considerations, are also addressed. Furthermore, the paper discusses the thermodynamics of the Si-C-N-O system in the context of silicon operations at high temperatures. This review provides valuable insights for researchers and specialists in the field of silicon production and crystallization, aiding in the selection and utilization of crucibles and coatings for improved process performance.

期刊介绍： Progress in Materials Science is a journal that publishes authoritative and critical reviews of recent advances in the science of materials. The focus of the journal is on the fundamental aspects of materials science, particularly those concerning microstructure and nanostructure and their relationship to properties. Emphasis is also placed on the thermodynamics, kinetics, mechanisms, and modeling of processes within materials, as well as the understanding of material properties in engineering and other applications. The journal welcomes reviews from authors who are active leaders in the field of materials science and have a strong scientific track record. Materials of interest include metallic, ceramic, polymeric, biological, medical, and composite materials in all forms. Manuscripts submitted to Progress in Materials Science are generally longer than those found in other research journals. While the focus is on invited reviews, interested authors may submit a proposal for consideration. Non-invited manuscripts are required to be preceded by the submission of a proposal. Authors publishing in Progress in Materials Science have the option to publish their research via subscription or open access. Open access publication requires the author or research funder to meet a publication fee (APC). Abstracting and indexing services for Progress in Materials Science include Current Contents, Science Citation Index Expanded, Materials Science Citation Index, Chemical Abstracts, Engineering Index, INSPEC, and Scopus.
