Abstract

Solar cell industry requires high technologies to stabilize apparatuses for the wafer manufacturing. Vibrations of squaring & grinding machines are one of the most critical factors for causing residual stresses of ingots, which are the main reasons of the breakage in the following processes such as wire sawing, cleaning, and modularity. In this study, the structure of a squaring & grinding machine has been analyzed through experiments and computer simulations to figure out the ways to suppress the vibrations effectively, and further to minimize the breakage of wafers. The result shows that simple design changes of applying a few ribs can improve the stability of the machine.
