AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

During the crystal pulling process, the crucible sides are damaged due to the chemical reaction between carbon and silicon dioxide, resulting in a shortened lifespan and rendering it unusable.

Method used

In an oxygen-free environment, the carbon source on the outer wall of the crucible body undergoes a chemical reaction with silicon dioxide to generate a silicon nitride or silicon carbide isolation layer, which physically isolates the crucible sides from the crucible body and extends the life of the crucible sides.

Benefits of technology

It effectively avoids crucible edge wear, extends crucible edge life, improves the chemical stability and physical strength of the crucible body, and enhances the quality of single crystal silicon rods.

Abstract

The application provides a preparation method of a crucible, the crucible and a single crystal furnace, and relates to the technical field of single crystal silicon preparation. The preparation method of the crucible comprises the following steps: arranging a carbon source on the outer wall of a crucible body; in an oxygen-free environment, the crucible body with the carbon source arranged on the outer wall is heated to a first preset temperature, so that the carbon source on the outer wall of the crucible body reacts with silicon dioxide in the crucible body to generate an isolation layer on the outer wall of the crucible body; the composition of the isolation layer comprises silicon nitride and / or silicon carbide. In the crystal pulling process, the isolation layer can physically isolate the silicon dioxide in the crucible body and the carbon in the crucible help, so that the loss of the crucible help can be avoided, the isolation layer is located on the outer wall of the crucible body, and the good physical isolation effect is continuously maintained. The isolation layer is not easy to fall off, the structure of the isolation layer is more compact and uniform, and the physical isolation effect is better. The isolation layer basically does not react with the crucible help, and the service life of the crucible help is longer.
