Problems solved by technology

Due to the limitation of objective factors such as thermal field and thermal conductivity of germanium single crystal rod, too fast pulling speed will lead to defects such as dislocations and bubbles, and even cause crystal pulling to be out of control or the crystal rod to be pulled out of the liquid surface

Abstract

The invention discloses a device and a method for preparing single crystal germanium by a Czochralski method. The device comprises a germanium single crystal growth furnace, wherein a crucible is arranged in a cavity of the furnace; a heating device is arranged around crucible, wherein the cross section of the heating device in the single crystal pulling direction is of a symmetrical structure like a pair of round brackets, so that the crucible is enclosed by the heating device; the heating device is divided into an upper heater and a lower heater, wherein the included angle between the upperheater and the lower heater is 110-160 degrees, and a plurality of high-frequency eddy current induction coils which are uniformly distributed from top to bottom are arranged in the upper heater andthe lower heater so as to control the axial and radial gradients of a temperature field around a single crystal. The device disclosed by the invention can be used for regulating and controlling the preparation process of single crystal germanium according to production requirements, and has extremely high operation flexibility and automation potential. The prepared crystal is good in crystallization property, free of defects such as cracking, dislocation, bubbles, inclusions and scattering and high in single crystal repetition rate, and a good crystal growth effect is achieved.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a germanium purification technology, in particular to a device and method for preparing high-purity single-crystal germanium by a pulling method. Background technique [0002] Germanium is an important semiconductor material. Germanium and its compounds are widely used in the fields of electronics, infrared optics, optical fiber communication, and chemical catalysts. They are one of the most important metals in the modern information industry. [0003] At present, the growth methods of germanium single crystal mainly include single crystal pulling method, horizontal Bridgman method and VGF method. The horizontal Bridgman method has the advantages of fast crystal growth and low cost, but because the crystal is D-type, the utilization rate is low, and it is difficult to grow a large-sized germanium single crystal. The crystal diameter of the VGF method is the same as that of the crucible, and theoretically larger single crystals...
