Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of single crystal manufacturing equipment, and more specifically, to a sub-chamber centering tool for a single crystal furnace. Background Art

[0002] In the field of semiconductor production, silicon single crystal furnace is a commonly used production equipment. During specific production, the silicon rod needs to be placed in the center of the heat shield in the silicon single crystal furnace. If the center of the silicon rod is offset in the heat shield, it will mainly cause the following effects: 1. The large-diameter silicon single crystal rod is not in the center of the heat shield, which will lead to uneven inert protective gas flow rate in a negative pressure environment, thereby causing fluctuations in the liquid surface temperature and affecting the growth of silicon single crystals; 2. The center offset will cause the crystal rod to shake when the crystal rotation is in the opposite direction to the quartz crucible, which will also affect the growth of silicon single crystals; 3. When the center of the silicon single crystal rod is offset, the crucible position and rotation speed remain unchanged, which will cause changes in the heat convection exchange area in the silicon liquid, and the resistance uniformity of the silicon single crystal rod will be affected. In summary, when the silicon single crystal rod is hoisted to the heat shield in the silicon single crystal furnace through the tungsten wire rope of the silicon single crystal furnace pulling system, it is necessary to perform centering measurement in advance to ensure that the silicon single crystal rod is in the center of the heat shield in the silicon single crystal furnace.

[0003] The invention patent with patent application publication number CN202011258162.7 discloses a single crystal furnace straight pulling alignment calibration system and calibration method. The structure includes a calibration part placed inside the main chamber of the single crystal furnace and suspended in the air; a monitoring part; and a processor connected to the monitoring part; wherein the pulling steel wire is stretched straight; the calibration part is connected to the weight at the lower end of the pulling steel wire, and the lower end face of the calibration part is at a certain distance from the upper end face of the quartz crucible. The advantage of this structure is that the alignment calibration can be repeated quickly and accurately many times, and the results are stable and consistent, which lays the foundation for ensuring the coincidence of the rotation centers of the crystal rod and the quartz crucible during subsequent crystal growth, reduces the solid-liquid interface abnormalities caused by the jitter of the molten silicon liquid level, and maximizes the normal growth of the crystal. The overall error rate is reduced from the current 10% to 5%, the detection efficiency is increased by about 5%, the reproduction consistency is good, and the crystal growth qualification rate is improved.

[0004] However, in actual use, since the structure is aligned by straightening the steel wire, it is easy for the steel wire to be moved during the operation of the single crystal furnace and there may be centering deviations, which may cause abnormalities such as crystal arcing and thus cannot be repaired in time, thus easily affecting the stability of subsequent crystal pulling.
