[0042] In order to make the purpose, technical solution and advantages of the embodiments of the present application clearer, the technical solution in the embodiments of the present application will be clearly and completely described below in conjunction with the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present application, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of this application.

[0044] It should be noted that in the embodiments of the present application, words such as "exemplary" or "for example" are used to indicate examples, illustrations or descriptions. Any embodiment or design described as "exemplary" or "for example" in the present application should not be interpreted as being more preferred or more advantageous than other embodiments or designs.

[0045] In addition, the terms "including" and "having" and any variations thereof are intended to cover but not exclude inclusion, for example, a product or device comprising a list of components is not necessarily limited to those components explicitly listed, but may include other components not explicitly listed or inherent to such products or devices.
[0046] In the description of this application, it should be noted that, unless otherwise clearly specified and limited, the terms "installed", "connected", and "connected" should be understood in a broad sense, for example, it can be a fixed connection, a detachable connection, or an integral connection; it can be a mechanical connection or an electrical connection; it can be a direct connection, or it can be indirectly connected through an intermediate medium, or it can be the internal communication of two components. For ordinary technicians in this field, the specific meanings of the above terms in this application can be understood according to specific circumstances.
[0047] First, the technical terms involved in the embodiments of the present application are briefly introduced:
[0048] 1. The CZ method is a common technology for preparing single crystal silicon. The basic steps include placing the raw polycrystalline silicon block into a quartz crucible, heating and melting it in a single crystal furnace, and then immersing a rod-shaped seed crystal (seed crystal) with a diameter of only 10 mm into the melt. By controlling the thermal field, the seed crystal is rotated and slowly pulled upward, and the silicon atoms in the melt will follow the silicon atom arrangement structure of the seed crystal to form regular crystals at the solid-liquid interface, thereby obtaining a single crystal. The CZ method for manufacturing single crystals can be divided into the steps of loading, heating the melt, temperature adjustment, seeding, shoulder release, shoulder rotation, equal diameter, and finishing.
[0049] 2. Dislocation, also known as differential arrangement, refers to an internal microscopic defect of a crystal material in materials science, that is, a local irregular arrangement of atoms (crystallographic defect). From a geometric point of view, dislocation is a line defect and can be regarded as the boundary between the slipped part and the non-slipped part of the crystal. Its existence has a great influence on the physical properties of the material, especially the mechanical properties.
[0050] In the related technology, in the process of manufacturing single crystals, after the heating of the melt (fusion) is completed, the temperature adjustment stage is entered. In the temperature adjustment stage, the fusion power of the single crystal furnace is reduced to lower the liquid temperature of the melted crystal. After a period of time, the power of the single crystal furnace will be increased to slow down the rate of decrease in liquid temperature. When the liquid temperature drops to the seeding temperature, the power of the single crystal furnace is adjusted to the preset seeding power, and then the seeding is started.
[0051] The seeding speed is a key factor in determining the success of single crystal silicon manufacturing. If the seeding speed is set unreasonably, the yield rate (also known as the survival rate) of the manufactured single crystal silicon will be low. At present, the seeding speed mainly depends on the temperature adjustment and seeding power setting in the adjustment stage. There is no point that can be adjusted in the seeding stage, which makes the error tolerance of the seeding speed low. At the same time, the temperature adjustment stage mainly relies on the experience of personnel for adjustment, which further reduces the error tolerance of the seeding speed, thereby affecting the yield rate of single crystal silicon.
[0052] In view of this, the embodiments of the present application provide a seeding control method, a single crystal furnace, a storage medium and a program product, which increase the fault tolerance of the temperature adjustment stage by adding control logic that affects the seeding pulling speed in the seeding stage, reduce dependence on personnel skills, and improve the yield rate of single crystal silicon.
[0053] The following specific embodiments are used to describe in detail the technical solution of the present application and how the technical solution of the present application solves the above technical problems. The following specific embodiments can be implemented independently or in combination with each other, and the same or similar concepts or processes may not be described in detail in some embodiments.
[0054] Figure 1 Schematic diagram of application scenarios of the embodiments of the present application, such as Figure 1As shown, it includes: single crystal production equipment 1 and control system 2.
[0055] The single crystal production equipment 1 may include a single crystal furnace and a crucible disposed in the single crystal furnace, and the single crystal furnace is used to heat the crucible.
[0056] The control system 2 is used to control the single crystal furnace to heat the crucible. In some embodiments, the control system 2 can also obtain the temperature in the crucible to adjust the power of the single crystal furnace to meet the temperature requirements of different stages of single crystal production.
[0057] In some embodiments, the single crystal production equipment 1 and the control system 2 may be integrated or separately arranged, and this application does not limit this.
[0058] Below Figure 1 The control system in is the execution body, and the seeding control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is explained.
[0059] Figure 2 Schematic diagram of the process of the seeding control method provided in the embodiment of the present application Figure 1 ,like Figure 2 As shown, including:
[0060] S201, obtaining temperature adjustment parameters in the temperature adjustment stage and a seeding speed when the length of the fine grain is a preset length; the temperature adjustment parameters include temperature adjustment power and temperature adjustment duration.
[0061] In some embodiments, as described above, the temperature adjustment stage includes lowering the liquid temperature with a lower power and slowing down the rate of liquid temperature drop with a higher power until the liquid temperature drops to the seeding temperature. Correspondingly, the temperature adjustment parameters may include the power and duration corresponding to each stage.
[0062] Fine crystals can refer to the process of leading out a section of crystals with smaller particle size after the seed crystal and the melt are fused during the crystal leading stage.
[0063] The control system can monitor and record the data of each stage in real time during the single crystal manufacturing process. After entering the seeding stage, when the fine crystal length is the preset length, the current seeding pulling speed is read, and the temperature adjustment parameters of the temperature adjustment stage are obtained from the recorded data. Among them, the preset length can be set based on actual needs, for example, 70 mm, 80 mm, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0064] S202: Based on the seeding pulling speed and the target seeding pulling speed, obtaining compensation heat in the seeding stage.
[0065] In some embodiments, during the crystal growth process, the dislocations of the seed crystal exist at a certain angle to the crystal growth direction. As the fine crystal grows, the dislocations are gradually removed from the fine crystal. To ensure the dislocation removal effect, the crystal growth rate V (SL) should usually be greater than the dislocation generation rate V (Disacution), which is reflected in the production process as the average seeding pulling speed is within an appropriate range.
[0066] In some embodiments, the target seeding pull speed can be determined based on the lower limit of the seeding pull speed and the upper limit of the seeding pull speed. For example, since V(SL) needs to be greater than V(Disacution), based on prior knowledge and the growth rate of dislocations, it can be determined that the lower limit of the seeding pull speed needs to be greater than or equal to 260 mm / hour, and based on the crystal growth formula, it can be known that the upper limit of the seeding pull speed is less than or equal to 340 mm / hour.
[0067] When the lower limit value of the seeding pull speed and the upper limit value of the seeding pull speed are determined, the target seeding pull speed can be determined between the upper limit value and the lower limit value. For example, the middle value of the upper limit value and the lower limit value, 300 mm / hour, is taken as the target seeding pull speed. It should be understood that the target seeding pull speed can also be determined between the upper limit value and the lower limit value based on actual needs, for example, 310 mm / hour, etc., which is not limited in the embodiments of the present application.
[0068] In some embodiments, when the target seeding pull speed and the seeding pull speed when the fine crystal length is a preset length are determined, the temperature compensation value of the melt in the single crystal furnace can be obtained according to the difference between the seeding pull speed and the target seeding pull speed; and the compensation heat can be obtained according to the temperature compensation value, the melt mass and the specific heat capacity.
[0069] Exemplarily, the temperature compensation value of the melt in the single crystal furnace may satisfy the following formula:
[0070] Tm=(V1-V) / 100
[0071] Wherein, Tm is the temperature compensation value, V1 is the seeding pulling speed when the fine grain length is the preset length, and V is the target seeding pulling speed.
[0072] The compensation heat can satisfy the following formula:
[0073] Q 补 =|Tm|*c*m
[0074] Where c is the specific heat and m is the mass of the melt.
[0075] S203: Obtain a power adjustment parameter according to the temperature adjustment parameter and the compensation heat, where the power adjustment parameter includes a power adjustment value and an adjustment duration.
[0076] In some embodiments, when the control system obtains the temperature adjustment parameter and the compensation heat, the power adjustment parameter may be determined based on a preset mapping relationship between the power adjustment parameter and the temperature adjustment parameter and the compensation heat.
[0077] Alternatively, the control system may input the temperature adjustment parameter and the compensation heat based on a pre-trained power prediction model to obtain the power adjustment parameter output by the power prediction model. Wherein, the power prediction model is obtained by training based on the temperature adjustment parameters and historical compensation heat of the historical temperature adjustment stage. Wherein, the historical compensation heat may refer to the compensation heat determined based on the historical seeding speed and the target seeding speed. The training method of the model may refer to the model training method in the prior art, which will not be repeated here.
[0078] S204, adjusting the seeding power based on the power adjustment parameter.
[0079] In some embodiments, when the control system obtains the power adjustment parameter, it can adjust the seeding power of the single crystal furnace from a preset power to a target power, where the target power is the sum of the preset seeding power and the power adjustment value, and control the single crystal furnace to continue heating at the target power for a time corresponding to the adjustment duration.
[0080] In some embodiments, after the adjustment time period ends, the control system can adjust the seeding power of the single crystal furnace back to the preset power.
[0081] The seeding control method provided in the embodiment of the present application is by obtaining the temperature adjustment parameters in the temperature adjustment stage and the seeding pulling speed when the fine crystal length is a preset length; the temperature adjustment parameters include the temperature adjustment power and the temperature adjustment duration; based on the seeding pulling speed and the target seeding pulling speed, the compensation heat in the seeding stage is obtained; according to the compensation heat and the temperature adjustment parameters, the power adjustment parameters are obtained, and the power adjustment parameters include the power adjustment value and the adjustment duration; the seeding power is adjusted based on the power adjustment parameters. By adding a power adjustment node in the seeding stage, thereby adjusting the seeding pulling speed, the abnormal seeding pulling speed caused by the control deviation in the temperature adjustment stage can be reduced, thereby improving the fault tolerance of single crystal manufacturing, reducing the dependence on personnel experience, and improving the yield rate of single crystals.
[0082] Based on the above embodiments, the seeding control method provided in the embodiments of the present application is further described below in combination with 3.
[0083] Figure 3 Schematic diagram of the process of the seeding control method provided in the embodiment of the present application Figure 2 ,like Figure 3 As shown, including:
[0084] S301, obtaining temperature adjustment parameters in the temperature adjustment stage and a seeding speed when the length of the fine grain is a preset length; the temperature adjustment parameters include temperature adjustment power and temperature adjustment duration.
[0085] The specific implementation method of S301 in the embodiment of the present application is Figure 2 The specific implementation method of S201 in the illustrated embodiment is similar and will not be repeated here.
[0086] S302: Based on the seeding pulling speed and the target seeding pulling speed, obtain compensation heat in the seeding stage.
[0087] In some embodiments, since part of the heat will be lost during the heat transfer process, the lost heat can be added when obtaining the compensating heat of the seeding stage, thereby improving the accuracy of the seeding stage control.
[0088] Exemplarily, the control system can obtain the temperature compensation value of the melt in the single crystal furnace according to the difference between the seeding pulling speed and the target seeding pulling speed; obtain the initial compensation heat according to the temperature compensation value, the melt mass and the specific heat capacity; obtain the compensation heat according to the initial compensation heat and heat loss; the heat loss is the heat lost in the process of transferring the initial compensation heat to the melt.
[0089] Wherein, the control system obtains the initial compensation heat in a manner similar to Figure 2 The method of obtaining the compensation heat in the illustrated embodiment is similar and will not be described in detail here.
[0090] The heat loss can be determined based on the following:
[0091] Exemplarily, a heat loss coefficient is obtained; the heat loss coefficient is related to the temperature of the melt, the heating temperature of the single crystal furnace, and the contact area between the single crystal furnace and the melt; the heat loss is determined based on the initial compensation heat and the heat loss coefficient.
[0092] Wherein, the heat loss coefficient may be determined based on historical single crystal production data.
[0093] Exemplarily, based on the historical seeding stage as an example, the control system can obtain the heating temperature of the single crystal furnace, the temperature of the melt, and the contact area between the single crystal furnace and the melt in the seeding stage, and determine the heat loss in the heat transfer process based on the following formula:
[0094] Q1=σ*ε*A*(Ts 4 -Tc 4 )
[0095] Wherein, σ is the Stephen constant, A is the contact area between the single crystal furnace and the melt, Ts is the heating temperature of the single crystal furnace, Tc is the temperature of the melt, and ε is the thermal emissivity.
[0096] After determining the heat loss, the heat loss coefficient can be obtained based on the ratio of the heat loss to the heat output of the single crystal furnace and recorded. Optionally, since the thermal field of the single crystal furnace is usually relatively fixed, the same heat loss coefficient can be used when producing single crystals in different batches.
[0097] When the control system obtains the heat loss coefficient, it can obtain the heat loss according to the product of the initial compensation heat and the heat loss coefficient, and use the sum of the heat loss and the initial compensation heat as the compensation heat.
[0098] In some embodiments, in order to further improve the accuracy of heat compensation, the control system may also obtain the seeding pulling speed in the following manner.
[0099] Exemplarily, taking the preset length as a reference, a length range is determined using preset range parameters; initial seeding pulling speeds corresponding to each fine crystal length within the length range are obtained; and an average of the initial seeding pulling speeds is used as the seeding pulling speed.
[0100] For example, if the preset length is 70 mm, 1 / 2 can be used as a range parameter to obtain a length range of 35 mm to 70 mm. The control system can obtain the initial seeding pull speed corresponding to each millimeter in the range of 35 mm to 70 mm, and use the average of all initial seeding pull speeds as the seeding pull speed. It should be understood that the range parameter can be set based on actual experience, for example, 1 / 3, etc., and the embodiment of the present application is not limited to this.
[0101] S303: Input the compensation heat and the temperature adjustment parameter into a power prediction model to obtain a power adjustment parameter output by the power prediction model.
[0102] In some embodiments, the power prediction model may be constructed and trained based on a neural network model.
[0103] The power prediction model is based on the input temperature control parameters and compensation heat, and outputs the power adjustment value and adjustment time.
[0104] In some embodiments, the relationship between power and temperature may satisfy the following formula:
[0105] Q=ΔP*Δt*k=|(T2-T1)|*c*m
[0106] Among them, Tm=T2-T1, ΔP is the power change, Δt is the duration, and k is the thermal conversion coefficient.
[0107] The control system can use the above-mentioned changing relationship between power and temperature as the basic mapping logic of the model, and use historical single crystal production data to produce sample data and label data to train the model.
[0108] S304. Based on the preset time node and the power adjustment parameter, determine a target time node for adjusting the seeding power from a plurality of time nodes supporting parameter adjustment in the seeding stage, as well as a target power and duration at the target time node.
[0109] In some embodiments, for the seeding stage, not every time point is suitable for power adjustment, for example, the seeding start stage and the seeding end stage. To ensure the accuracy of power adjustment, multiple time nodes that can be adjusted are pre-set in the embodiment of the present application. When the control system obtains the power adjustment parameter, it can use a preset allocation algorithm to determine the target time node for adjusting the seeding power from multiple time nodes that support parameter adjustment in the seeding stage, as well as the target power and duration at the target time node.
[0110] For example, the power adjustment parameters include a power adjustment amount p and a duration t. The power adjustment amount p and the duration t can be allocated to a first target time node and a second target time node. The power adjustment amount corresponding to the first target time node is p1, and the duration is t1. The power adjustment amount corresponding to the second target time node is p2, and the duration is t2.
[0111] The power adjustment amounts p, p1, p2 and durations t, t1, t2 may satisfy the following formula:
[0112] p1*t1+p2*t2=p*t
[0113] S305. At the target time node, adjust the seeding power to the target power and maintain the adjustment time.
[0114] S306: After the adjustment time, adjust the target power to the seeding power.
[0115] In some embodiments, when the control system determines a time node where power adjustment is required and an adjustment parameter at the time node, power adjustment can be performed based on the corresponding adjustment parameter when the time node arrives.
[0116] For example, when the first target time node arrives, the preset seeding power P is adjusted to P+p1, and the power is maintained for t1 time. After t1 time is over, the seeding power is adjusted back to P. When the second target time node arrives, the preset seeding power P is adjusted to P+p2, and the power is maintained for t2 time. After t2 time is over, the seeding power is adjusted back to P, which can speed up the pulling speed response.
[0117] To summarize, the crystal seeding method control method provided in the embodiment of the present application, by adding control nodes in the crystal seeding stage and adjusting the crystal seeding pulling speed by adjusting the power, can avoid the crystal seeding pulling speed depending only on the temperature adjustment stage and the crystal seeding power, thereby increasing the fault tolerance of the crystal seeding pulling speed control, reducing the dependence on personnel experience, and improving the yield rate of single crystals.
