It discloses solar cells with respect to the silicon thin plate manufacturing apparatus using a silicon thin plate continuous casting process which can contribute to improve productivity and quality of manufacture, and a silicon thin sheet production method using the same.
Silicon thin plate manufacturing apparatus using a continuous casting process according to the invention is the crucible portion for providing a space where the silicon raw material is charged into the melt; Are each arranged in the crucible outer wall portion and the outer bottom surface, heating to melt the silicon portion of the silicon raw material charged in the crucible part forming the silicon melt; And receiving and storing a supply of molten silicon from the crucible section, storage section for discharging the molten silicon of the silicon melt to melt a certain thickness over the discharge port penetrating through the one side wall; And a silicon thin plate state demodulator for forming a silicon thin plate to cool and solidify the silicon melt to be discharged through said discharge port; includes, primary demodulator body having a casting space which is connected to the discharge port and horizontally within said silicon thin casting unit and, by heating the main body demodulator characterized in that it comprises a secondary heating means for controlling a temperature that solidifies the silicon substrate.
