Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of quartz crucible preparation, in particular to a method for preparing a quartz crucible. Background Art

[0002] As is known to all, quartz crucible is one of the essential equipment for pulling large diameter single crystal silicon. Currently, quartz crucibles are used below 1450 degrees and are roughly divided into transparent and opaque types. The semi-transparent quartz crucible made by arc method is an essential basic material for pulling large diameter single crystal silicon and developing large-scale integrated circuits. Today, the world's semiconductor industry developed countries have replaced small transparent quartz crucibles with this crucible. It has the advantages of high purity, strong temperature resistance, large size and high precision, good heat preservation, energy saving, and stable quality.

[0003] Domestically, quartz crucibles of 18 inches and 20 inches are commonly used for pulling single crystal silicon. Some manufacturers also use crucibles of 22 inches and above. At present, the 18-inch and 20-inch crucibles produced by domestic crucible manufacturers have relatively mature technology. The raw material quartz sand used in its production is mainly imported from the United States. The purity of domestically produced quartz sand does not meet its requirements. Impurities in its raw materials produce black spots and bubbles during the high-temperature melting process during production, which have a certain impact on its stability when pulling single crystal silicon.

[0004] At present, crucible production coating technology has been used by most manufacturers. It is to coat a layer of high-purity quartz sand on the surface of the crucible made of ordinary quartz sand to form a dense layer. The dense layer can prevent the reaction between silicon and quartz crucible during the high-temperature pulling process of single crystal silicon and increase the crystallization rate.

[0005] In the prior art, a patent document with publication number CN102432189B discloses a spraying device for a quartz crucible barium coating. The invention ensures that the barium coating on the inner surface of the quartz crucible is uniform in thickness and firmly adheres to the coating. The improvement of the quartz crucible by the present invention effectively prolongs the service life of the quartz crucible. After testing, the extended time reaches more than ten hours, which not only improves the yield of crystal pulling, but also enhances the strength of the quartz crucible, thereby overcoming the quality reduction of single crystal silicon caused by hot melting of the quartz crucible.

[0006] In the preparation of existing quartz crucibles, on the one hand, it is not convenient to realize automatic spraying of the coating after the preparation of the quartz crucible, and on the other hand, the solidity of the quartz crucible is low and the burr rate is high during the preparation. Based on this, the present invention provides a method for preparing a quartz crucible to solve the problems raised in the above background technology. Summary of the invention

[0058] The vibration guide module includes a vibration frame 28 fixedly connected to the outer cylinder 6, the inner wall of the vibration frame 28 is rotatably connected to a lower sleeve 29 driven by a guide shaft 3, the lower sleeve 29 is transmission-connected to the outer mold 7 by a chain, an upper sleeve 30 and a side shaft 31 are rotatably connected to the lifting platform 5, a return spring 32 is sleeved on the guide shaft 3 and corresponds to the position between the lower sleeve 29 and the upper sleeve 30, and the upper sleeve 30 is driven by the guide shaft 3;

The cross-sections of the shaft grooves and the guide shaft 3 are both regular polygons. The bottom surface of the outer mold 7 is fixedly mounted with a driven shaft 36 connected to the chain drive.

[0060] The shaft groove and the regular polygonal cross section of the guide shaft rod 3 are arranged so that the outer mold 7 can be continuously driven by the guide shaft rod 3 during the lifting process;

After the vibration frame 28 reciprocates up and down within the set stroke, the outer cylinder 6 and the inner cylinder 15 are driven to reciprocate and vibrate within the set stroke.

[0063] After the outer cylinder 6 and the inner cylinder 15 are reciprocated and excited within the set stroke, the quartz sand raw material in the molding cavity is vibrated and compacted. Through the compaction, the density of the quartz sand material during melting and the bubble rate of the quartz sand material during melting are effectively reduced.
