Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the field of machinery, and in particular to a cadmium zinc telluride crystal single crystal growth device. Background Art

[0002] Cadmium zinc telluride is a semiconductor material composed of three elements: tellurium, zinc and cadmium. This compound has excellent radiation detection performance at room temperature, especially for the detection of X-rays and gamma rays. It can directly convert incident high-energy photons into charge signals, so it is widely used in medical imaging, security inspection, astronomy, nuclear medicine and other fields. Single crystal cadmium zinc telluride refers to a single crystal structure of cadmium zinc telluride material produced by a specific crystal growth technology. Compared with polycrystalline or amorphous materials, single crystal cadmium zinc telluride has better physical properties, such as higher resolution and lower noise level, because there are no grain boundaries inside the single crystal, which reduces the number of defects and scattering centers. These characteristics make single crystal cadmium zinc telluride an ideal choice for high-performance radiation detectors, especially in applications requiring high precision and high sensitivity. Due to its complex preparation process and high cost, the production and technology of single crystal cadmium zinc telluride has always been a research hotspot and continues to promote the development of related fields.

[0003] The growth process of CdZnTe crystals usually relies on the temperature gradient method, which promotes the formation of crystals by establishing a temperature gradient from liquid to solid in the growth zone. However, in the growth process of single crystal CdZnTe, latent heat is released when the liquid raw material is converted into solid crystals, which puts higher requirements on the temperature control of the already very sensitive solid-liquid interface. If these exothermic effects cannot be effectively managed, local overheating may occur, resulting in an unstable crystal growth environment, which in turn affects the quality and purity of the crystal. In addition, the uniformity of the heater material will also introduce additional complexity, because even at the same vertical height, there may be slight differences in the temperature of the surrounding circle, which will cause inconsistent growth rates of the crystal along the vertical direction. In summary, these factors work together to make the growth process of single crystal CdZnTe complex and the success rate low, requiring fine process control and optimization to improve the single crystal rate.

Obviously, the described embodiments are part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0031] The heating assembly includes a movable platform 6 arranged on the inner side of the upper shell 3, a heat insulating layer is arranged in the movable platform 6, a plurality of vertical frames 7 are fixedly connected to the top of the movable platform 6, the plurality of vertical frames 7 are arranged in a circular pattern, a plurality of heating tubes 8 are fixedly connected to the inner side walls of the plurality of vertical frames 7, the plurality of heating tubes 8 are equidistantly arranged in the length direction of the vertical frames 7, two independent heating wires are arranged in the heating tube 8, a stabilizing plate 9 is arranged on the inner side of the plurality of heating tubes 8, a card table 10 is rotatably connected to the top of the stabilizing plate 9, a plurality of supporting bars 11 are fixedly connected to the top of the plurality of supporting bars 11, a fixing ring 14 is fixedly connected to the top of the plurality of supporting bars 11, a plurality of temperature sensors 13 are embedded on the inner side walls of the plurality of supporting bars 11, and a plurality of The temperature sensors 13 are distributed horizontally and vertically, the top of the fixing ring 14 is fixedly connected to the stabilizing frame 12, the top of the stabilizing frame 12 is fixedly connected to the top plate 4, a crucible 15 is arranged on the inner side of the plurality of support bars 11, the bottom of the crucible 15 is clamped with the clamping table 10, a sealing cover 16 is fixedly installed on the top of the crucible 15, a clamping groove 17 is arranged on the top of the sealing cover 16, the support bars 11 are made of glass fiber, the support bars 11 are arranged in a circle, the temperature sensors 13 are equidistantly distributed in the length direction of the support bars 11, a plurality of light-emitting diodes 60 are arranged on the control panel 2, the light-emitting diodes 60 are electrically connected to the heating tube 8, and the number of the heating tube 8 and the light-emitting diodes 60 are arranged in the same number.

[0032] It should be noted that the temperature sensor 13 is a platinum resistance sensor. The platinum resistance sensor shows significant advantages in monitoring the crystal growth process. First of all, it is reflected in its high precision and stability. It can provide extremely accurate and consistent temperature readings, which is very important for controlling the key temperature parameters in the crystal growth process. These sensors can operate over a wide temperature range and maintain reliable performance from low temperature to high temperature, ensuring that they are suitable for the crystal growth conditions of various materials. In addition, it has excellent corrosion resistance and chemical stability, and can maintain its physical and chemical properties unchanged for a long time even in an environment with high temperature or corrosive substances. Platinum resistance sensors also exhibit an almost linear resistance-temperature relationship, which makes temperature calculation simple and accurate, reducing the complexity of signal processing. Finally, their low self-heating effect means that the current passing through the sensor is small and will not have a significant impact on the measurement results, thereby ensuring the accuracy of temperature measurement. In summary, platinum resistance sensors have become an ideal choice for temperature monitoring in the crystal growth process due to these characteristics.

[0033] Reference Figure 5-Figure 7 The displacement control assembly includes a first motor 18 fixedly connected to the top of the top plate 4, and a telescopic rod 19 is fixedly connected to the output end of the first motor 18. The top of the telescopic rod 19 is rotatably connected to the bottom of the top plate 4, and the bottom of the telescopic rod 19 is engaged with the slot 17 at the top of the sealing cover 16.

[0034] The displacement control assembly also includes a bottom plate 20 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the lower housing 1, a second motor 21 is fixedly connected to the top of the bottom plate 20, a worm 22 is fixedly connected to the output shaft of the second motor 21, a rotating sleeve 23 is rotatably connected to the top of the bottom plate 20, a turbine 24 is fixedly provided on the outer wall of the rotating sleeve 23, the worm 22 is meshed with the turbine 24, a threaded rod 25 is provided on the inner side of the rotating sleeve 23, the top of the threaded rod 25 is fixedly connected to the moving platform 6, the rotating sleeve 23 is meshed with the threaded rod 25 through an internal thread, and the top of the bottom plate 20 is fixedly connected to the moving platform 6.

[0035] It should be noted that when the output end of the second motor 21 rotates, it drives the turbine 24 to rotate, drives the threaded rod 25 to move axially, and then drives the movable platform 6 to move. When the movable platform 6 moves along the axial direction of the threaded rod 25, by setting a plurality of stabilizing rods 31 and a plurality of transmission rods 32, since the stabilizing rods 31 are meshed with the transmission rods 32, it is ensured that the displacement of the plurality of stabilizing rods 31 is the same during axial movement, thereby ensuring that the movable platform 6 is always in a horizontal position, and maintaining the stability of the components above the movable platform 6.

[0036] Reference Figure 8 The trigger assembly includes a trigger housing 42 fixedly connected to the inner wall of the control box 40, the inner wall of the trigger housing 42 is fixedly connected to an iron core 50, a coil 51 is wound around the iron core 50, a swing shaft 52 is rotatably connected to the side wall of the trigger housing 42, a trigger plate 53 is fixedly connected to the swing shaft 52, the trigger plate 53 is arranged in a "Z" shape, an iron plate 54 and a tension spring 58 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the trigger plate 53, the iron plate 54 and the tension spring 58 are located on both sides of the trigger plate 53, and the tension spring 58 is connected to the trigger housing 42 The inner wall of the trigger shell 42 is fixedly connected, a moving piece 56 and a contact piece 57 are fixedly connected to the side wall of the trigger shell 42, a connecting piece 55 is fixedly connected to the contact piece 57, contacts 59 are arranged at the ends of the moving piece 56 and the contact piece 57, the moving piece 56 and the contact piece 57 both penetrate the trigger plate 53, the moving piece 56 and the trigger plate 53 are slidably arranged, the two heating wires in the heating tube 8 are electrically connected to the contact piece 57 and the connecting piece 55 respectively, and the coil 51 is arranged in the circuit of the heating wire connected to the connecting piece 55.

[0037] In this embodiment, the cadmium zinc telluride crystal raw material powder that has been proportioned and evenly mixed is first placed in the crucible 15 and sealed, and then the crucible 15 is clamped with the clamping table 10, and the telescopic rod 19 is extended, and the bottom of the telescopic rod 19 is embedded in the inside of the clamping groove 17, and the closed door 5 is closed to complete the placement of the crucible 15, and the cadmium zinc telluride raw material in the crucible 15 is melted by slowly heating a plurality of heating tubes 8. After all the raw materials are melted, the bottom heating tube 8 is first adjusted to cool down, so that the cadmium zinc telluride raw material in the crucible 15 starts to solidify from the bottom to form a solid-liquid interface;

[0038] Continue to adjust the temperature of the multiple heating tubes 8 so that the temperature of the multiple heating tubes 8 is set in a step-like manner from bottom to top, because the growth direction of the CdZnTe crystal will grow along the direction where heat is most easily dissipated, so the position of the solid-liquid interface will move upward with the growth of the CdZnTe crystal. Since the liquid solidifies, heat will be released, which will cause the temperature at the solid-liquid interface to be too high and unable to reach a constant state, thereby affecting the growth rate of the crystal. By setting the temperature sensors 13 distributed horizontally and vertically, the multiple temperature sensors 13 arranged vertically judge the position of the solid-liquid interface through the temperature increase when the liquid solidifies, and transmit the temperature increase signal to the controller 41. The controller 41 controls the output end of the second motor 21 to rotate, thereby driving the turbine 24 to rotate, and driving the threaded rod 25 to rotate. The plurality of heating tubes 8 with stepped temperature settings are driven downward by the moving platform 6, so that the solid-liquid interface is located at a relatively low temperature position, thereby maintaining a relatively constant temperature state at the solid-liquid interface; due to the problem of uniformity of the heating tube 8 during production, the temperature of the heating tube 8 in the horizontal direction is different. Controlling this difference is particularly important in the crystal growth process that requires precise temperature control. The temperature of the crucible 15 in the horizontal direction is detected by the transversely arranged temperature sensor 13. If the temperature difference exceeds the set value, the controller 41 controls the first motor 18 to rotate, drives the telescopic rod 19 to rotate, and drives the crucible 15 to rotate, so that the temperature of the crucible 15 in the horizontal direction is always kept within the minimum error value, ensuring that the crystal grows at the same rate, thereby making the crystal growth process more stable;

[0039] Since the heating wire in the heating tube 8 undergoes repeated heating and cooling cycles during operation, this will cause continuous accumulation of stress inside the material, gradually forming tiny cracks or weakened points, and eventually leading to breakage. If the heating wire in the heating tube 8 breaks, it will affect the temperature during crystal growth, and thus affect the quality of the crystal. By arranging two heating wires in the heating tube 8, when the heating tube 8 is powered, since the coil 51 is arranged in the circuit of the heating wire connected to the connecting piece 55, the coil 51 is energized to magnetize the iron core 50, adsorb the iron plate 54, and make the trigger plate 53 rotate on the swing shaft 52, pushing the moving piece 56 to separate from the contact 59 of the contact piece 57. When the heating wire connected to the connecting piece 55 is broken, the coil 51 is powered off, causing the iron core 50 to lose its magnetism. Under the tension of the tension spring 58, the trigger plate 53 is driven to rotate on the swing shaft 52, so that the moving piece 56 contacts the contact 59 of the contact piece 57, and the electric heating wire connected to the contact piece 57 is powered, ensuring that the heating tube 8 is always in a stable heating state, and preventing the problem of temperature loss due to complete damage of the heating tube 8, and the inability of the crystal to grow as expected.

[0040] It should be noted that the specific model and specifications of the motor need to be selected and determined based on the actual specifications of the device, and the specific selection calculation method adopts the existing technology in this field, so it will not be described in detail.

[0041] The above description is only a preferred embodiment of the present invention and is not intended to limit the present invention. For those skilled in the art, the present invention may have various modifications and variations. Any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement, etc. made within the spirit and principle of the present invention shall be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
