Based on reciprocating electroplated diamond wire saw (REDWS) slicing experiments, a study on REDWS machining brittle-ductile transition of single crystal silicon was introduced. The machined surfaces and chips were observed by using Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM), and some experimental evidences of the change of material removal mode had been obtained. The experimental results indicate there is a close relationship between material removal mode and the ratio r value of ingot feed speed and wire speed, through controlling and adjusting the r value, the material removal mode can be complete brittle, partial ductile and near-ductile removal.

The slicing technology of hard-brittle materials by endless diamond wire saw has the advantages of higher moving speed of wire saw, better slicing quality, and thin kerf. According to the strength of wire saw, the cutting force and the random vibration of wire saw, the slicing parameters are optimized. As single crystal silicon is sliced, the constant feed force is less than 10N, the maximum pretension is 30N, and the highest moving speed of wire saw is 24m/s. But because the restrict of machine precision, the highest slicing speed is 16m/s.

A mathematical model to calculate the grit average cut depth in wire sawing single crystal silicon was founded. So the grit average cut depths were calculated theoretically by choosing different process parameters, and influences of process parameters on grit cut depths of slicing silicon crystal were analyzed. Analysis results indicate that the grit average cut depth relates to the silicon mechanical properties, grit shape and size, wire speed and ingot feed speed, etc. And there is a monotone increasing non-linear correlation between grit average cut depth and the ratio i value of ingot feed speed and wire speed, when the i value is lower, the average grit cut depth is lower.

Abstract In this paper, the acceleration of nickel (Ni) in the direct nitridation process of the diamond-wire saw powder (DWSP) was investigated. The DWSP doped with Ni additives were nitrided at different temperatures. To study the mechanism of accelerated nitridation, the thermodynamics of Si-O-N-Ni was analyzed by FactSage 7.2 and single-crystal silicon blocks were also nitrided instead of the DWSP. The results revealed that Ni decreased the nitridation temperature at which the DWSP began to gain significant weight and exhibited an excellent accelerating effect on the nitridation of the DWSP. At 1300℃, the DWSP containing 2.0 wt.% Ni additives had been completely nitrided within 2 h, whereas the DWSP without Ni additives had not been nitrided yet. Based on the equivalent substitution experiment, it could be conducted that the presence of Ni additives accelerated the nitridation and promoted the formation of the α-Si3N4 nanorods through facilitating the generation of the SiO(g) and destructing the silica film on the surface of silicon at lower temperature. Meanwhile, Ni additives also played an important part in the growth of α-Si3N4 nanorods by forming liquid Ni-Si alloy in the product.

Based on reciprocating electroplated diamond wire saw slicing single crystal silicon experiments, a bonded interface sectioning technique was used to measure the silicon subsurface damage (SSD) depth, and the influences of wire saw speed and feed speed on silicon SSD were studied. Moreover, based on the indentation fracture mechanics (IFM) theory, a theoretical model of relationship between SSD and surface roughness (SR) was established for predicting the SSD depth by measuring the SR. The results indicate that SSD depth decreases with the wire saw speed increase and feed speed decrease, within the range of experimental technical parameters. There exists monotone increasing non-linear correlation between SSD depth and SR (Rz) in wire saw slicing single crystal silicon, that is, SSD-SR+χSR3/4. And the experimental measure values coincide with the theoretical prediction values comparatively, therefore, the theoretical model can be used for predicting SSD depth rapidly, expediently and accurately.
