Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention belongs to the field of improving crystal edge quality, in particular to a device for improving crystal edge quality. Background Art

[0002] As a third-generation semiconductor material, 4H-type silicon carbide has the characteristics of large bandgap, low on-resistance, good heat dissipation and high saturated electron drift velocity. It is widely used in high-power, high-frequency and high-temperature electronic devices and has good development prospects. At present, the mainstream preparation of large-size commercial silicon carbide single crystals is mainly based on physical vapor transport method. The preparation process of this method is that the seed crystal is fixed on the top of the graphite crucible, and the silicon carbide raw material is placed under the graphite crucible. Most of them are silicon carbide powder or polycrystalline silicon carbide. The bottom raw material is decomposed and sublimated by heating. Driven by the axial temperature difference, the gas phase components that are subsequently sublimated are transported to the surface of the seed crystal with the airflow, and deposited and crystallized on the growth surface of the seed crystal. As the growth time increases, the growth interface gradually advances to the raw material area, and finally forms a silicon carbide ingot.

[0003] Chinese patent application CN117904718A provides a device and method for growing silicon carbide crystals, which prevents corrosion particles on the surface of graphite parts from entering the crystals by setting a relay ring made of pyrolytic graphite blocks above the growth crucible, thereby reducing defects such as carbon inclusions. The relay ring used is isostatic graphite, which has strong corrosion resistance. Although this method can reduce the carbon inclusions caused by the corrosion of the graphite parts themselves in the growth area, it cannot avoid the carbon particles floating into the crystals due to the graphitization of the powder in the high-temperature area of ​​the crucible side wall. And if there is no additional carbon source, the excess silicon-rich gas phase components in the early stage cannot fully react with the graphite parts, and it is easy to run to the seed crystal area and react with the seed crystal.

[0004] Unlike Chinese patent application CN113622016 A, which provides a device to place a graphite ring near the material surface to filter impurity particles generated by graphitization of raw materials, the present invention introduces an anti-corrosion ring, and places the graphite ring 7 on the anti-corrosion ring, which can further filter the heterogeneous particles generated by corrosion of graphite parts (mainly anti-corrosion rings), and is placed at a high position with a thicker adjustable thickness to avoid being too close to the silicon carbide raw material, causing bottom crystallization and affecting the crystal growth rate. Chinese patent applications CN 102534763 A and CN 113622016B respectively report filtering particulate matter generated by powder through porous graphite plates or porous graphite meshes, but graphite itself is also a carbon source, generating additional carbon particles. Although tantalum carbide coatings are used as baffles in some other strategies to avoid the generation of new carbon impurities, on the one hand, this type of coating structure has a greater impact on the temperature field inside the crucible and has a higher production cost. Unlike most graphite plates or graphite meshes used to filter carbon particles generated by high temperature of raw materials, this device also fully considers other carbon sources, such as particulate matter that may be generated by corrosion of graphite parts. At the same time, in terms of design, in order to reduce the generation of carbon particles, corrosion protection is introduced as an additional carbon source in the non-growth area to reduce the corrosion of graphite parts in the growth area and avoid the generation of carbon inclusions inside the crystal. In terms of materials, this paper uses isostatic graphite with a volume density of 1.9g / cm3 and a particle size of 10μm to make graphite rings. Graphite materials with high density and small particle size are not easily corroded by silicon-rich atmosphere components, which increases the difficulty of carbon particles aggregating into inclusions at the crystal growth site. In addition, the graphite ring has a pyrolytic carbon coating to avoid the introduction of new carbon impurities, while increasing the initial flux, effectively avoiding the corrosion defects often caused by insufficient atmosphere flux in the early stage, and thus a device for improving the edge quality of the crystal is proposed.

[0063] 2. Crystal growth process:

[0064] a. Place the assembled thermal field structure into the heater. The furnace should be sealed intact. Check for leaks and evacuate the furnace. When the internal pressure drops to 0.5-5Pa, turn on the molecular pump to further evacuate to 5*10-3~5*10-2Pa.

The temperature and pressure are kept for 90-110h.

[0069] f. Enter the cooling and pressure return stage, and the growth temperature is reduced to room temperature in 10 to 20 hours. The crucible rotation is turned off and the pressure is returned to 800 mbar. After the cooling is completed, the pressure inside the cavity is returned to atmospheric pressure;

[0070] g. Take out the crystal and complete the furnace opening.
