Problems solved by technology

[0009] In the melting stage, the "heater with thinned bottom" can reduce the risk of cracking the bottom of the quartz crucible and speed up the melting speed of the silicon material; but after the melting of the silicon material is completed, the "heater with a thinned bottom" in the subsequent crystal pulling process The "bottom thinning heater" cannot be turned off, which will virtually increase the heat supply at the bottom of the crucible. After the bottom of the crucible receives more heat, it will promote the flow of silicon melt, and it is difficult to obtain silicon single crystal with low oxygen content.

Abstract

The invention discloses a resistance heater for a single crystal furnace and a method of using the same to perform crystal pulling. The resistance heater comprises a cylindrical graphite heater, which is provided with interactive and evenly arranged grooves in the axial direction. Along the circumferential direction of the graphite heater, a 360-degree circular gap structure is arranged. The exterior of the graphite heater is provided with an enhanced heat-generating body. The enhanced heat-generating body is arranged on a position, wherein the distance between the upper end face of the graphite heater to the position accounts for 1 / 4-1 / 5 of the total height of the graphite heater. The method of using the resistance heater to pull crystals comprises the following steps: applying the resistance heater to a monocrystal furnace, making the cylindrical graphite heater surround a crucible, holding the enhanced heat-generating body above the silicon melt surface, and subjecting a polycrystalline silicon raw material to steps of melting, melt stabilizing, seeding, diameter enlarging, rotation increasing, isodiametric growth, ending, and cooling in the quartz crucible to obtain a monocrystal silicon rod with a low oxygen content. The provided heater and method can obtain a monocrystal silicon rod with a low oxygen content.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a resistance heater for a single crystal furnace and a method for preparing a single crystal by using the resistance heater, belonging to the technical field of silicon single crystal preparation. Background technique [0002] The development of semiconductor materials promotes the increase in the diameter of silicon single crystals, and silicon single crystals with a diameter of 200 mm and silicon single crystals with a diameter of 300 mm have become mainstream. As the diameter of silicon single crystal increases, a larger thermal system is required to keep the ratio of crystal diameter to crucible diameter at approximately 1 / 3, and to achieve high-efficiency production of silicon crystals while taking into account the balance of silicon crystal quality parameters. [0003] The heater made of high-purity graphite material or carbon / carbon composite material is the core component of the internal heating system of the single cry...
