Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of single crystal production and relates to a method for moving a crucible in the early stage with equal diameter. Background Art

[0002] Since the temperature-stabilizing crucible position is lower than the equal-diameter crucible position, it is beneficial to the temperature stabilization, crystal induction and shoulder release processes of the single crystal. Therefore, the temperature-stabilizing crucible position needs to be lower than the equal-diameter crucible position. However, in order to ensure that the single crystal has sufficient temperature gradient, the crucible position needs to be quickly raised to a suitable position after the single crystal enters the equal-diameter state. The current conventional process is to use the crucible level ratio and liquid level detection and liquid level compensation to push the crucible. However, this method can only adjust the speed of pushing the crucible by the distance between the guide tube mouth and the liquid surface. The adjustment speed is slow, resulting in the single crystal being unable to reach the maximum pulling speed for a long time, and easily causing excessive cooling for growth control to cause breakage, affecting production. Therefore, a method of moving the crucible in the early stage of equal diameter is needed to solve the above technical problems. Summary of the invention

[0003] In order to solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the present invention provides a method for moving the crucible in advance with equal diameter, which can quickly confirm the actual moving speed of the top crucible or the lowering crucible, so that the crucible can be quickly put in place to meet the temperature gradient required for crystal growth, so that the single crystal growth curve can be more matched, and then the single crystal interface depth can be improved, ultimately achieving the purpose of increasing production.

[0004] The technical solution adopted by the present invention is: a method for moving a crucible in the early stage with equal diameter, characterized in that it comprises the following steps:

[0005] Identify the actual pulling speed V of the single crystal 1 ;

[0006] Compare the actual casting speed V 1 and set the pulling speed V 2 , and calculate the difference between the two;

[0007] Calculate the corresponding crucible position compensation coefficient α according to the difference;

[0008] According to the crucible position compensation coefficient α, crucible to heel ratio τ and liquid level compensation speed V 3 The actually required moving speed V is calculated so that the crucible axis can move up or down the crucible according to the moving speed V.

[0009] Furthermore, the moving speed V, V = V 1 ·τ+V 3 +(V 2 -V 1 )·α.

[0010] Further, the difference is -50 to 50 mm / h.

[0011] Furthermore, the crucible position compensation coefficient α is -10 to 10.

[0012] Furthermore, when the actual pulling speed V 1 Higher than the set pulling speed V 2 When the crucible position compensation coefficient α is a negative number, the crucible axis moves down at the moving speed V.

[0013] Furthermore, when the actual pulling speed V 1 Lower than the set pulling speed V 2 When the crucible position compensation coefficient 2 is a positive number, the crucible axis moves up the crucible at the moving speed V.

[0014] Furthermore, when the actual pulling speed V 1 Equal to the set pulling speed V 2 , the crucible position compensation coefficient 2 is zero.

[0015] Furthermore, the crucible to heel ratio τ is obtained by the descending speed of the liquid surface.

[0016] Furthermore, the liquid level compensation speed V is obtained according to the change in the distance between the lower edge of the guide tube and the liquid surface. 3 .

[0017] Furthermore, the actual pulling speed V of the single crystal is identified by the pulling head. 1 .

[0018] The present invention relates to a method for moving a crucible in the early stage of equal diameter. In the method, a corresponding crucible position compensation coefficient is calculated according to the difference between an actual pulling speed and a set pulling speed, and it is determined whether the crucible is raised or lowered. Then, the actual required crucible moving speed is obtained by combining the crucible-to-heel ratio and the liquid level compensation speed. Based on this, the crucible axis is adjusted to enable the crucible to be quickly in place, meet the temperature gradient required for crystal growth, make the single crystal growth curve more matched, and further improve the single crystal interface depth, thereby ultimately achieving the purpose of increasing production.
