AI Technical Summary

Technical Problem

In the process of pulling heavily boron-doped silicon single crystals, the poor uniformity of the axial resistivity of the crystal rod leads to inconsistent performance of semiconductor devices and a high breakage rate.

Method used

A crystal pulling system is adopted, which includes a boron particle feeder, a heating device, a dual laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy measurement device, and a model predictive controller. The system monitors the melt boron concentration and the crystal rod carrier concentration in real time, and coordinates the crystal rod moving speed, boron particle feeding rate, and temperature gradient. The model predictive controller enables precise control of the resistivity axial distribution.

Benefits of technology
