[0043] A SiC single crystal manufacturing apparatus according to one aspect of the present invention comprises: a chamber; a seed holder portion located inside the chamber; a raw material gas introduction portion formed facing the seed holder portion; and a heater formed on the side of the chamber.
[0044] To prevent chamber clogging, ensure the stability (uniformity) of SiC single crystal growth, and maintain a uniform (supply) gas ratio, it is necessary to control the flow of deposition gas within the chamber; as a means to achieve this, it is necessary to control the temperature of specific parts within the chamber. The SiC single crystal manufacturing apparatus of the present invention enables ideal gas flow control within the chamber by including a heater formed in a specific part of the chamber.
[0046] FIGS. 1a and 1b are cross-sectional views of a SiC single crystal manufacturing apparatus according to the prior art and the present invention. Referring to FIGS. 1a and 1b, the gas flow in the SiC single crystal manufacturing process is explained as follows: according to the prior art, the gas flow is not properly controlled, so efficient growth of the SiC single crystal relative to the introduced gas is not achieved. However, according to the SiC single crystal manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention, raw gas is introduced into the chamber through the nozzle (10) of the gas introduction section (20) formed at the bottom of the chamber, and as it rises to the reaction temperature through a heater located on the side of the chamber, it is decomposed and changed into a reaction gas used for the SiC single crystal growth reaction. The reaction gas reacts with the seed of the seed holder in the section where the seed holder (30) is placed to grow the SiC single crystal, and the remaining residual gas is discharged through the exhaust section (40). As described in detail below, this gas flow can be controlled by controlling the temperature of each section and the inner diameter of each section. When using a single precursor, the above raw gas is MTS (Methyltrichlorosilane), and when using a binary gas, a Si raw gas (Silane, SiCl4, etc.) and a C raw gas (Methane, Propane, etc.) may be mixed. The flow rate of the above raw gas may be 10 slm to 200 slm. Mounting of the above seed may be performed through a seed holder made of graphite material, having an attachment surface of the same size (4” to 6”, etc.) as the seed and a thickness of 10 mm or more.
[0048] The chamber includes a first region, a second region, and a third region, which are separated in order according to the direction of gas flow, and the temperature T1 of the first region, the temperature T2 of the second region, and the temperature T3 of the third region may be controlled differently.
[0049] From the bottom of the chamber where the raw gas is introduced, it can be divided into three regions according to temperature. Referring to FIG. 1b, the temperature of the next region (section) is maintained relatively higher than the temperature T1 of the region (section) where the raw gas is introduced. This is achieved by maintaining the temperature of the first region lower than the temperature of the second region through the insulating material present in the first and second regions, thereby preventing the formation of abnormally high temperatures in the first region. To this end, a heater is included on the side of the chamber corresponding to the second region. Although not limited thereto, to explain as an example with reference to FIG. 1b, the first region may be the part where the inner diameter widens from the gas introduction section at the bottom, the second region may be the part above that which becomes a narrow passage, and the third region may be the wide space above that where the seed holder is placed. That is, in FIG. 1b, as an example, a heater is formed in the second region (including a part of the upper part of the first region and a part of the lower part of the third region).
[0050] In FIG. 1b, the heater is formed by dividing it into upper and lower sections, but this is merely an example, and the number and arrangement of the formed heaters may be one or two or more depending on the size of the chamber.
[0051] FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a point where a heater is formed as an embodiment of the chamber of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 2, the heater (104) may be formed as a single ring shape on the outer side of the chamber (102) as shown in FIG. 2, or it may be formed as several (not shown) separate heaters.
[0053] The above T1 may be 1000 ℃ to 1600 ℃, the above T2 may be 1600 ℃ to 1800 ℃, and the above T3 may be 1800 ℃ to 2500 ℃.
[0054] The temperature T1 of the first region corresponding to the lower part of the chamber based on the gas flow may be 1000 ℃ to 1600 ℃, and if T1 is lower than 1000 ℃, the raw gas is not decomposed in the first region, and if T1 is higher than 1600 ℃, the raw gas is deposited in the first region, which may cause a depletion effect of the raw material.
[0055] The temperature T2 of the second region, which corresponds to the region before the actual SiC single crystal growth region, may be 1600°C to 1800°C, and if T2 is lower than 1600°C, the source gas reacts in the second region and a deposit is generated, which may cause a problem of clogging in the second region. The temperature T2 of the second region is intended to form a temperature gradient between the temperature T1 of the first region, which is a low-temperature region, and the temperature T3 of the third region, which is a high-temperature region for reaction, and if T2 is higher than 1800°C, there may be a problem of difficulty in controlling the temperature of the first region.
[0056] The seed holder is included, and the temperature T3 of the third region, which is the region where an actual SiC single crystal grows in the seed holder, may be 1800 ℃ to 2500 ℃. If T3 is lower than 1800 ℃, there may be a problem with polycrystalline growth, and if T3 is higher than 2500 ℃, there may be a problem with the grown SiC single crystal sublimating.
[0058] The above T2 may be 100% to 180% of the above T1, and the above T3 may be 100% to 160% of the above T2.
[0059] For ideal gas flow control, it is desirable to control the temperatures of regions within the chamber, and it may be necessary to control the relative values between the temperatures of each region (section).
[0060] That is, the temperature T2 of the second region, which corresponds to the region before the actual SiC single crystal growth region, may be 100% to 180% of the temperature T1 of the first region, which is the immediate region based on the gas flow. If T2 is lower than 100% of T1, the source gas may react in the second region and deposits may be generated, and there may be a problem of clogging in the second region. If T2 is higher than 180% of T1, there may be a problem of not forming a temperature gradient with the third region.
[0061] In addition, the temperature T3 of the third region, which includes a seed holder and is the region where an actual SiC single crystal grows in the seed holder, may be 100% to 160% of the previous region T2 based on the gas flow. If T3 is lower than 100% of T2, there may be a problem of quality degradation due to polycrystalline growth, and if T3 is higher than 160% of T2, there may be a problem of the reaction not occurring in the reaction section and escaping as exhaust.
[0063] The heater may be located on the side of the chamber. Since the heater is intended to control the temperature of a certain section (region) within the chamber to a set temperature (target temperature), it may be formed on the side of the chamber. However, it is not limited thereto, and may be formed on one or more parts selected from the group consisting of the side, bottom, and top of the chamber.
[0065] The heater may be formed at a position corresponding to the second region on the side of the chamber. As described above, since raw material gas is introduced into the lower part of the chamber to grow a SiC single crystal in the seed holder and the remaining gas is discharged through the upper discharge port, it is necessary to control the temperature immediately before the region where actual deposition occurs to be relatively high; therefore, the heater may be formed at a position corresponding to the second region, which is the region before the region where the actual SiC single crystal grows. As shown in FIG. 2, the heater may be formed as a single ring shape on the outer side of the chamber, or multiple separate heaters may be formed on the outer side of the chamber.
[0067] FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram showing the gas flow in a process for manufacturing a SiC single crystal using a SiC single crystal manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention.
[0068] Referring to FIG. 3, the gas flow is described exemplarily as follows: when gas flows from a first region to a second region of the chamber, the second region is maintained at a high temperature by a heater formed in the second region, and as a result, the raw gas is introduced into a third region without consuming the raw gas in the second region. This prevents polycrystalline growth occurring on the crystal growth surface, thereby improving the quality of the crystal.
[0070] In the chamber above, the inner diameter D1 of the first region, the inner diameter D2 of the second region, and the inner diameter D3 of the third region may be different from each other.
[0071] The present invention allows for the control of gas flow by forming different inner diameters from the lower part of the chamber where raw gas is introduced to the upper part of the chamber where residual gas is discharged, based on the gas flow, thereby enabling ideal deposition and SiC single crystal growth in a seed holder.
[0073] The above D1 may be 100 mm to 300 mm, the above D2 may be 80 mm to 200 mm, and the above D3 may be 250 mm to 800 mm.
[0074] The above D2 may be 50% or more and less than 100% of the above D1, and the above D3 may be 125% to 1000% of the above D2.
[0075] For ideal gas flow control, it is desirable to control the gas flow in regions within the chamber, and it may be necessary to control the relative values between the inner diameters of each region (section).
[0076] That is, the inner diameter D2 of the second region, which corresponds to the region before the actual SiC single crystal growth region, may be 50% or more and less than 100% of the inner diameter D1 of the first region, which is the section immediately preceding it based on the gas flow. However, if D2 is smaller than 50% of D1 or larger than 100% of D1, it may be difficult to control the flow rate of the second region, and consequently, there may be a problem in that it becomes difficult to control the temperature.
[0077] Additionally, the inner diameter D3 of the third region, which includes a seed holder and is the region where an actual SiC single crystal grows in the seed holder, may be 125% to 1000% of the immediate preceding region D2 based on the gas flow. If D3 is smaller than 125% of D2, a decrease in temperature due to an increase in the flow velocity around the seed may occur, which may lead to polycrystalline growth. If D3 is larger than 1000% of D2, the gas flow changes abruptly, preventing the gas from proceeding smoothly to the seed, which may result in a problem of reduced growth rate.
[0079] The first intermediate region where the first region and the second region are connected, and the second intermediate region where the second region and the third region are connected, may each be connected by a curved surface without a step.
[0080] The connection between the first region and the second region in the first intermediate region where the first region and the second region are connected, the connection between the second region and the third region in the second intermediate region where the second region and the third region are connected, and furthermore, the connection between the first region and the lower intermediate region where the gas introduction region corresponding to the region prior to the first region described below is connected to the first region in the lower intermediate region where the first region is connected, may each be connected by a curved surface without a step.
[0081] FIG. 4 is an open view of a SiC single crystal manufacturing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention in which each region is connected by a curved surface. Referring to FIG. 4, the connection between the first region and the second region in a first intermediate region where the first region and the second region are connected, the connection between the second region and the third region in a second intermediate region where the second region and the third region are connected, and furthermore, the connection between the first region and the lower intermediate region where the gas introduction region corresponding to the region prior to the first region, which will be described below, is connected by a smooth curved surface without a step, but the present invention is not limited thereto, and one or more of the connections between regions in the first intermediate region, the connections between regions in the second intermediate region, and the connections between regions in the lower intermediate region may be connected by a smooth curved surface, and if necessary, the remaining connections may include a step.
[0083] The inner diameter D1 of the first region, the inner diameter D2 of the second region, and the inner diameter D3 of the third region may each be determined by any one selected from the group consisting of felt, graphite muffle, and graphite inner muffle on the inner surface of the chamber.
[0084] By using the above material in each area, it is possible to control the required temperature range in each area, and the transfer of temperature from the high-temperature area to the low-temperature area can be minimized.
[0085] Based on the above gas flow direction, prior to the first region, a gas introduction region having a diameter of 60% to 90% of the inner diameter D1 of the first region may be further included.
[0086] The raw material gas may be directly introduced into the chamber by means of a nozzle without a gas introduction area, and may further include a gas introduction area having a diameter of 60% to 90% of the inner diameter D1 of the first area before the first area based on the direction of gas flow.
[0088] The above seed holder may be a seed holder formed in the upper region of the chamber.
[0090] It may further include an outlet formed on the outer part of the seed holder. The arrangement of such an outlet can facilitate gas flow, and as a result, may have the effect of suppressing abnormal growth.
[0091] The internal space of the chamber is preferably shaped so that gas flow can flow from the center to the periphery, but if the outlet is located on the side, it may not be desirable as it does not flow in the direction of the crystal growth region (seed). Therefore, the outlet may be located perpendicular to the back of the seed holder or on the outside of the seed holder.
[0093] The present invention will be explained in more detail below through examples.
[0094] However, the following examples are merely for illustrating the present invention, and the content of the present invention is not limited to the following examples.
