Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of Czochralski single crystals, in particular to a single crystal furnace thermal field integrated crucible. Background Art

[0002] The single crystal furnace thermal field integrated crucible is a structure for supporting the bottom of the single crystal furnace. The existing single crystal silicon production is mainly carried out in a single crystal furnace using the Czochralski method. During the Czochralski single crystal pulling process, the quartz crucible carries the molten silicon liquid formed by the polycrystalline silicon raw material. Since the quartz crucible is in a soft state at high temperature, the outside of the quartz crucible needs to be protected by a crucible. Traditional thermal field design generally uses a CC crucible and a graphite crucible support combination design as a carrier of the quartz crucible, and then assembles the thermal field with a graphite support rod. With the continuous development of science and technology, people have higher and higher requirements for the manufacturing process of the single crystal furnace thermal field integrated crucible.

[0003] The existing single crystal furnace thermal field integrated crucible has certain disadvantages when in use. The number of thermal field components is relatively large, and the space utilization rate in the single crystal furnace is low, which is not conducive to maximizing the height of the quartz crucible and the full crucible feeding amount, improving the unit yield and reducing the non-silicon cost; the bottom heater is a horizontal plane heating element, and the wall thickness of the graphite crucible support is designed to be thicker considering the load-bearing strength and safety. During the material-making process, the graphite crucible support isolates the thermal radiation of the bottom heating to the quartz crucible, and the heat conduction energy transmission efficiency is much lower than the thermal radiation, which is not conducive to improving the material-making efficiency. At the same time, the temperature distribution uniformity of the bottom of the thermal field during the material-making process of the traditional thermal field design is not good, which is not conducive to improving the safety of the material-making process, and cannot more effectively avoid the production accidents caused by the damage and silicon leakage of the quartz crucible due to the secondary crystallization of silicon materials; the traditional thermal field design has more gaps at the joints between the crucible and the crucible support, and the crucible at the gap is more susceptible to oxidation and corrosion, which is not conducive to extending the service life of the crucible and reducing costs. At the same time, due to corrosion damage at the gap, it is more likely to cause the quartz crucible to be damaged and leak silicon, increasing the risk of production accidents. For this reason, we propose a single crystal furnace thermal field integrated crucible. Utility Model Content

Compared with the traditional thermal field design, the gap at the joint between the crucible bond and the crucible support is greatly reduced, thereby slowing down the corrosion damage rate of the crucible bond at the gap, extending the service life of the crucible bond, and greatly reducing the possibility of quartz crucible breakage and silicon leakage due to corrosion damage at the gap, reducing the risk of production accidents, and can effectively solve the problems in the background technology.
