Problems solved by technology

From the melting of polysilicon to shouldering, growth, finishing, cooling and other processes, a certain amount of argon gas is introduced into the furnace. This process has the disadvantages of high production cost, low mechanical strength of silicon single crystal and non-adjustable.
Silicon single crystals can also be grown under high-purity nitrogen, but the insulation and anti-ionization properties of nitrogen are worse than that of argon. Therefore, high-purity nitrogen is not the first choice as a protective gas.

Abstract

The invention provides a drawing method of float-zone silicon single crystals. The method comprises the following steps: charging; smelting materials; introducing crystals; growing thin neck; shouldering; constant-diameter growing; ending; cooling; dismounting the furnace; and the like. The method specifically comprises the following steps: before heating polycrystalline silicon, filling a mixed gas of argon and nitrogen in a float-zone furnace, wherein the volume ratio of nitrogen and argon is 0.05%-20%; and after ending, stopping filling argon and nitrogen. According to the drawing method provided by the invention, the production cost of silicon single crystals is lowered while spark breakdown of a coil caused by gas ionization at a high temperature is effectively prevented. Nitrogen atoms can reduce the defect density of the float-zone silicon single crystals, and dislocation movement in pinning crystals can enhance the mechanical strength of the float-zone silicon single crystals, so that the performance of subsequent apparatuses is improved. Silicon single crystals with different mechanical performances can be obtained by adjusting the proportion of argon, so that expansion of application range and field of the silicon single crystals is facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of silicon single crystal production, and in particular relates to a pulling method of zone melting silicon single crystal. Background technique [0002] During the growth of silicon single crystals, high-purity argon is generally used as a protective gas to prevent the ignition and breakdown of the coil caused by gas ionization at high temperatures. From the melting of polysilicon to shouldering, growth, finishing, cooling and other processes, a certain amount of argon gas is introduced into the furnace. This process has the disadvantages of high production cost, low and non-adjustable mechanical strength of silicon single crystal. Silicon single crystals can also be grown under high-purity nitrogen, but the insulating properties of nitrogen, that is, the anti-ionization property, is worse than that of argon. Therefore, high-purity nitrogen is not the first choice as a protective gas. Contents of the inve...
