AI Technical Summary
In the current semiconductor-grade polycrystalline silicon ingot casting process, the silicon nitride coating of the crucible has weak adhesion to the substrate. The bonding method between the silicon nitride coating and the substrate is simple and the bonding strength is weak. At high temperatures, the silicon nitride coating is easily separated from the crucible by the molten silicon or peeled off by the continuous scouring of the molten silicon. This results in insufficient purity of the silicon ingot (below 99.999%) and low α-phase content. The silicon nitride coating is also prone to separation from the substrate at high temperatures due to the difference in thermal expansion coefficients or peeling off by the continuous scouring of the molten silicon. The existing crucible structure design lacks a gradient buffer mechanism, resulting in excessive silicon nitride inclusions in the silicon ingot, which cannot meet the requirements of semiconductor devices.
The design employs a multi-layered composite structure, including a quartz coating, a fused silica ceramic sleeve, and a high-purity silicon nitride coating. The multi-layered structure is formed through injection molding and brush coating processes. Combined with a porous structure to buffer stress, it ensures isolation between the silicon ingot and the silicon nitride coating, reduces the introduction of impurities, and improves the bonding strength and stability.
It effectively reduces the content of silicon nitride or silicon carbide inclusions in silicon ingots, improves the stability and safety of the ingot casting process, reduces the fracture rate, and meets the requirements of semiconductor devices for high-purity silicon raw materials.

Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of photovoltaic polycrystalline silicon ingot technology, specifically, it relates to a process for producing ingot crucibles for semiconductor silicon devices. Background Technology
[0002] In the production process of semiconductor-grade polycrystalline silicon ingots, the crucible, as the core component supporting the molten silicon, needs to be isolated from the molten silicon in a high-temperature environment above 1400℃, while ensuring the purity of the silicon ingot and the stability of production. However, existing technologies have significant drawbacks: Existing crucibles generally use silicon nitride coatings as isolation layers, but the bonding method between the coating and the crucible substrate is simple and the bonding force is weak. Moreover, some silicon nitride coatings are prone to separation from the substrate at high temperatures due to insufficient purity (below 99.999%) and low α-phase content (below 95%), or peeling off due to continuous erosion by molten silicon.
[0003] Existing silicon nitride coatings can peel off at a rate of 10%-20% after high-temperature ingot casting, resulting in silicon nitride inclusions in the silicon ingot exceeding 0.1 ppm, far exceeding the 0.05 ppm upper limit for semiconductor-grade silicon ingots. The peeled silicon nitride particles directly enter the silicon ingot, forming silicon nitride inclusions; some silicon nitride also reacts with the silicon melt and crucible materials, generating impurities such as silicon carbide, leading to excessive inclusion content in the silicon ingot and failing to meet the requirements for high-purity silicon raw materials (purity must reach 99.9999% or higher) for semiconductor devices.
[0004] Meanwhile, most existing crucibles have a single structural design and lack a gradient buffer mechanism. When the molten silicon adheres to the inner wall of the crucible, the thermal stress cannot be dispersed through the structure, which can easily lead to crucible breakage due to stress concentration, causing the ingot casting process to be interrupted; or it can cause defects such as cracks and deformation in the silicon ingot, significantly reducing the yield. Summary of the Invention
[0005] In view of the shortcomings of the prior art, the purpose of this invention is to provide a process for manufacturing ingot crucibles for semiconductor silicon devices.
[0006] To achieve the aforementioned objectives, the technical solution adopted by this invention includes the following steps: S1. Raw material preparation: Prepare quartz coating raw materials, fused silica ceramic sleeve raw materials, silicon nitride coating raw materials, and fused silica ceramic crucible raw materials respectively; the quartz coating raw material is natural high-purity quartz sand containing 99.99% silicon dioxide, the fused silica ceramic sleeve raw material and the fused silica ceramic crucible raw material are both mixtures of fine quartz slurry with D50 of 8-12 microns and coarse quartz sand of 20-200 mesh, and the silicon nitride coating raw material is silicon nitride particles with purity >99.999%, α-phase content >95%, and D50 of 2-3 microns; S2. Molding of fused silica ceramic crucibles: After adding an organic crosslinking agent to the raw material of fused silica ceramic crucibles, the fused silica ceramic crucible matrix is made by injection molding technology, with a purity of 99.8%. S3. Formation of silicon nitride coating: After mixing silicon nitride coating raw materials with silica sol and water, the mixture is brushed onto the inner surface of the fused silica ceramic crucible substrate to form a silicon nitride coating. S4. Molding of fused silica ceramic sleeve: The fused silica ceramic sleeve raw material is slurry cast into a fused silica ceramic sleeve with a purity of 99.8%, and then placed on the inner surface of the silicon nitride coating. S5. Quartz Coating Formation: The quartz coating raw material is made into a slurry with an average particle size of 1-200 micrometers and coated on the inner surface of the molten quartz ceramic sleeve to form a quartz coating. S6. Composite treatment: The above multi-layer structure is dried.
[0007] In this invention, a multi-layer composite structure design is used to prevent the silicon ingot from directly contacting the silicon nitride coating; high-purity raw materials reduce the introduction of impurities; each layer is formed through specific processes, such as injection molding to enhance crucible strength and brushing to ensure uniform silicon nitride coating. The overall structure formed by these processes can release stress when the molten silicon adheres to the crucible, thereby reducing the formation of silicon carbide or silicon nitride inclusions in the silicon ingot and improving the stability of the ingot casting process.
[0008] Preferably, in step S5, the preparation of the quartz coating slurry includes: grinding quartz particles into two specifications, coarse and fine, and mixing them with water and silica gel respectively; the coating process involves alternating between coarse and fine slurries 3-7 times, and the coating thickness is 1-3 mm.
[0009] In this invention, alternating coating of coarse and fine particles can enhance the density and uniformity of the quartz coating, and controlling the thickness ensures that the coating can effectively isolate the molten silicon from the inner structure; multiple coatings improve the bonding strength between the coating and the molten quartz ceramic sleeve, reduce the risk of coating peeling, and further reduce inclusions.
[0010] Preferably, in step S4, the fused silica ceramic sleeve has a porous structure, which is formed by adding organic matter to the fused silica ceramic sleeve raw material, coating it, and then heating it to decompose the organic matter and leave pores.
[0011] In this invention, the porous structure can buffer and release stress when the molten silicon adheres to the crucible, avoiding crucible breakage or silicon ingot defects caused by stress concentration, thereby improving the safety of the ingot casting process and the integrity of the silicon ingot.
[0012] Preferably, the organic material is a combination of monomer and crosslinking agent or PVA.
[0013] In this invention, the aforementioned organic matter can be completely decomposed during the heating process without any residual impurities, ensuring the purity of the porous structure; at the same time, its decomposition characteristics are stable and can form uniform pores, ensuring that the porous structure of the fused silica ceramic sleeve can effectively play its stress release role without introducing additional impurities.
[0014] Preferably, in step S2, in the casting and molding technology of the fused silica ceramic crucible, the amount of organic crosslinking agent added is 1-5% of the total mass of the raw materials.
[0015] In this invention, the organic crosslinking agent can improve the bonding strength between the quartz slurry and the coarse sand, and enhance the density and structural stability of the fused quartz ceramic crucible through injection molding technology; the 99.8% purity, combined with the stable structure, reduces the leakage of impurities from the crucible itself, while improving its high-temperature resistance and preventing deformation or cracking at high temperatures.
[0016] Preferably, in step S3, the thickness of the silicon nitride coating is 0.1-0.5 mm, and it is allowed to air dry naturally for 1-2 hours after brushing.
[0017] In this invention, controlling the thickness ensures that the silicon nitride coating can both provide isolation and avoid insufficient adhesion due to excessive thickness; the drying step allows the coating to fully bond with the fused silica ceramic crucible substrate, reducing the probability of the silicon nitride coating peeling off at high temperatures, thereby reducing its entry into the silicon ingot to form inclusions.
[0018] Preferably, the drying process in step S6 is carried out in a curing kiln at a temperature of 60-120°C for 8-24 hours.
[0019] In this invention, the drying parameters ensure that the moisture in each layer evaporates slowly and fully, avoiding coating cracking or delamination caused by rapid drying; the dried structure is more tightly bonded, improving the overall thermal shock resistance of the crucible and reducing the risk of structural failure during the casting process.
[0020] Preferably, the mixing ratio of the coarse and fine slurries is fine slurry: coarse sand = 1:(0.8-1.2).
[0021] In this invention, this ratio can optimize the particle packing density of the quartz coating, with fine slurry filling the gaps between coarse sand to form a dense structure, thereby improving the density of the coating and its resistance to slag erosion. At the same time, it enhances the bonding strength between the coating and the fused silica ceramic sleeve, reduces coating peeling, and further reduces the risk of inclusion introduction.
[0022] Compared with the prior art, the advantages of the present invention include: (1) The present invention provides a process for manufacturing ingot crucibles for semiconductor silicon devices. Through a composite structure consisting of a quartz coating and a fused quartz ceramic sleeve, the silicon ingot is isolated from the silicon nitride coating. The high-purity silicon nitride coating has a purity of >99.999% and an α phase of >95%. Combined with the brush coating process, it reduces peeling. The quartz coating further blocks the entry of impurities, thereby reducing silicon nitride or silicon carbide inclusions in the silicon ingot. (2) The present invention provides a process for the production of ingot crucibles for semiconductor silicon devices. The fused silica ceramic sleeve can be provided with a porous structure, which can release stress when the silicon liquid adheres. The composite structure is enhanced by injection, slurry molding and drying treatment to improve overall stability, avoid crucible cracking or silicon ingot defects caused by stress concentration, and ensure ingot stability. (3) The present invention provides a process for producing ingot crucibles for semiconductor silicon devices. Compared with the prior art, the content of silicon nitride or silicon carbide inclusions in silicon ingots is reduced by 30%-50%, such as from 0.07ppm to below 0.05ppm in Example 1.

[0039] Quartz coating 4 formation The quartz coating material 4 was ground into coarse particles of 150 micrometers and fine particles of 50 micrometers.

The raw material parameters of Example 1 are used, with only the composite processing steps adjusted. When the drying temperature is 80℃ and the drying time is 16 hours, the bonding strength between the fused silica ceramic crucible 1 and the silicon nitride coating 2, and between the fused silica ceramic sleeve 3 and the quartz coating 4 is 2.8MPa, and the overall structure has a thermal shock resistance of 50 cycles. When the drying temperature is 100℃ and the drying time is 12 hours, the bonding strength of each layer is 3.0MPa and the thermal shock resistance is 55 cycles. When the drying temperature is 120℃ and the drying time is 8 hours, the bonding strength of each layer is 3.2MPa and the thermal shock resistance is 60 cycles.
