Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of heaters, in particular to a method for preparing a novel low-carbon heater. Background Art

[0002] Single crystal silicon material is the core basic material of modern electronic industry and photovoltaic industry, and its production quality directly affects the performance of downstream semiconductor devices and solar cells. The Czochralski method (CZ method for short) is one of the main processes for preparing single crystal silicon, and the performance of its core equipment, the single crystal furnace, plays a decisive role in the purity, crystal quality and growth efficiency of single crystal silicon.

[0003] In a single crystal furnace, the heater is a key component for melting silicon materials and controlling the temperature field. Traditional single crystal furnaces usually use graphite as the main material for the heater, especially in the manufacture of low heaters (lower heaters). Graphite materials are widely used due to their excellent thermal conductivity, high temperature resistance, thermal shock resistance and easy processing. However, with the continuous improvement of the semiconductor industry's requirements for the purity and crystal quality of single crystal silicon, the limitations of graphite materials have gradually emerged. Graphite is easily oxidized in high temperature environments, and its mechanical strength and deformation resistance are limited. Especially in long-term high-temperature use, problems such as structural degradation and impurity contamination will occur. These problems directly affect the production efficiency and quality of single crystal silicon.

[0004] In the prior art, the low-temperature heater of a single crystal furnace is usually made of graphite material. However, graphite material has the following problems in practical application:

[0005] High temperature oxidation problem: Graphite easily reacts with oxygen in high temperature environment and oxidizes, resulting in material loss and structural degradation. Although single crystal furnaces usually operate in a vacuum or inert gas environment, the oxidation problem is still difficult to completely avoid, especially after long-term operation, the service life of graphite is significantly limited;

[0006] Insufficient mechanical strength: The mechanical strength of graphite materials is limited. During the operation of the single crystal furnace, due to the combined effects of thermal stress and mechanical stress, the graphite low-temperature heater is prone to deformation or cracking, affecting the stability of the temperature field and the uniformity of crystal growth;

[0007] Short service life: Graphite low-temperature heaters will gradually degrade in high temperature environments, resulting in changes in resistance and reduced thermal efficiency, requiring frequent replacement, increasing production costs and maintenance difficulties. Summary of the invention
