Abstract
Disclosed is a preparation method of a polycrystalline silicon ingot. The preparation method comprises: providing a silicon nucleation layer at the bottom of a crucible, and filling a silicon material above the silicon nucleation layer; heating the silicon material to melt same, adjusting the thermal field inside the crucible to make the melted silicon material to start crystallization on the basis of the silicon nucleation layer; and when the crystallization is finished, performing annealing and cooling to obtain a polycrystalline silicon ingot. By adopting the preparation method, a desirable initial nucleus can be obtained for a polycrystalline silicon ingot, so as to reduce dislocation multiplication during the growth of the polycrystalline silicon ingot. Further disclosed are a polycrystalline silicon ingot obtained through the preparation method and a polycrystalline silicon wafer made using the polycrystalline silicon ingot as a raw material.
