Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of seed crystal bonding, and in particular relates to a seed crystal bonding method and a seed crystal hot pressing bonding mechanism. Background Art
[0002] Silicon carbide (SiC), as a typical representative of the third generation of semiconductor materials, has the characteristics of wide band gap, high breakdown electric field strength and high thermal conductivity. It is one of the most important third generation semiconductor materials and can meet the high requirements of substrate materials under harsh conditions such as high power, high frequency and high temperature in the fields of aerospace, photovoltaic power generation, rail power grid and new energy trams. At present, the most mature and mainstream way to grow silicon carbide single crystals is the physical vapor transport method (PVT). The main steps of this method are: loading silicon carbide powder at the bottom of a graphite crucible, and bonding silicon carbide seed crystals to the top of the crucible, heating the graphite crucible by electromagnetic induction, so that the powder raw material sublimates at high temperature, and finally growing silicon carbide single crystals at the interface of the silicon carbide seed crystals.
[0003] The bonding effect between the silicon carbide seed crystal and the seed crystal seat directly affects the continuity of crystal growth and the quality of the crystal. Photoresist, epoxy resin, phenolic resin and other polymers are usually used as interface adhesives. The adhesive is applied to the bonding surface of the seed crystal seat and the silicon carbide seed crystal, and then the two are concentrically pressed and bonded, and then hot pressed to improve the curing effect of the adhesive. After the hot pressing is completed, it is taken out after naturally cooling to room temperature. However, the hot pressing temperature of commonly used silicon carbide seed crystals is relatively high (generally 300℃~600℃), and it takes a long time for the seed crystal and the seed crystal seat to cool to room temperature, resulting in long production time and low work efficiency, which will eventually affect the production efficiency of silicon carbide single crystal materials. Summary of the invention
[0004] The object of the present invention is to provide a seed crystal bonding method with high production efficiency.
[0005] Another object of the present invention is to provide a seed crystal hot-pressing bonding mechanism with high production efficiency.
[0006] In order to achieve the above object, the technical solution adopted by the present invention is:
[0007] In one aspect, the present invention provides a seed crystal bonding method, based on a seed crystal hot-pressing bonding mechanism, the seed crystal hot-pressing bonding mechanism comprising: a heatable carrier for carrying a seed crystal seat, the seed crystal seat comprising a seed crystal seat body, a seed crystal sheet and an adhesive located therebetween;
[0008] A pressure plate assembly, the pressure plate assembly comprising a pressure plate disposed above the carrier and used to cooperate with the carrier to press the seed crystal seat located therebetween, and a driving device capable of driving the pressure plate to move in an up-and-down direction, the pressure plate comprising a pressure plate body and a pressure rod connected to the pressure plate body;
[0009] A lifting member, wherein the lifting member is detachably connected to the seed crystal seat body, is slidably connected to the pressure plate and can move under the drive of the pressure plate to separate the seed crystal seat from the carrier; and
[0010] A cooling component, the cooling component includes a cooling ring and / or a heat shield, the cooling ring is arranged on the outside of the seed crystal seat and is connected to the cooling gas source, and an air jet hole is opened on the inside of the cooling ring for ejecting cooling gas to cool the seed crystal seat, the heat shield is rotatably arranged above the carrier, and has a heat-insulating state between the carrier and the seed crystal seat and an initial state away from the carrier and the seed crystal seat,
[0011] The seed crystal bonding method includes, after heating and curing the seed crystal seat, controlling the driving device to drive the pressure plate with the pulling member to move upward to drive the seed crystal seat to separate from the carrier, and then controlling the cooling component to perform jet cooling on the seed crystal seat and / or isolate the seed crystal seat from heat radiation from the carrier.
[0012] Usually, after the seed wafer and the seed crystal seat body are bonded by an adhesive, it is necessary to apply a certain pressure to the bonded seed wafer in a hot press furnace, and heat and cure it by a heating platform, and then take it out after it naturally cools down to room temperature. However, the hot pressing temperature is generally between 300℃ and 600℃, and it takes a long time for the seed wafer and the seed crystal seat body to cool down to room temperature, resulting in a long production time for the bonding of the seed wafer and the seed crystal seat body, which is not convenient for industrial production. The cooling rate of the seed wafer and the seed crystal seat can be accelerated to a certain extent by only introducing cooling gas or coolant into the hot press furnace, but due to the large heat capacity of the heating platform, the center of the seed wafer and the seed crystal seat will cool down slowly and the edge will cool down quickly, resulting in local stress concentration at the bonding point between the seed wafer and the seed crystal seat, poor bonding quality, and affecting the subsequent crystal growth. The seed crystal bonding method of the present invention can avoid the concentration of thermal stress caused by the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between the carrier and the seed crystal seat during the cooling process by separating the seed crystal seat from the carrier through a pulling piece after the hot pressing is completed. The temperature change of the seed crystal seat and the carrier is more uniform and the generation of thermal stress can be further reduced. Combined with the cooling ring jet cooling and / or the heat shield plate isolating the heat radiation of the carrier to the seed crystal seat, while ensuring the bonding quality of the seed crystal seat, the heating rate of the seed crystal seat is accelerated, thereby improving the production efficiency of seed crystal plate bonding.

One or two loading and unloading ports 21 are provided on the side of the lifting member 2 for taking in and placing the seed crystal seat.
[0069] The pressure plate assembly includes a pressure plate 4 disposed above the carrier 1 and used to cooperate with the carrier 1 to press the seed crystal seat located between the two, and a driving device (not shown in the figure) capable of driving the pressure plate 4 to move in the up and down directions.

When it moves up a certain distance, the pressure plate 4 abuts against the lifting member 2 and drives the lifting member 2 to move up synchronously with the seed crystal seat. The seed crystal seat is separated from the carrier 1, and then cooling gas is introduced into the cooling ring 3 to jet cool the seed crystal seat. At the same time, the induction coil 12 that is introduced with cooling water is used to cool the carrier 1 until the cooling is completed. Then, the seed crystal seat can be taken out from the loading and unloading port 21.
