Abstract
Description

[0002] The Czochralski crystal growth method using medium frequency induction heating during inoculation is a key technical process. During the inoculation operation, the staff needs to carefully observe the molten state of the seed crystal and the raw material through the observation window to adjust the appropriate inoculation temperature.
[0003] There are two ways to observe the growth of crystals by the Czochralski method, one is the top observation method and the other is the side observation method. The observation window of the top observation method has a relatively small effect on the overall temperature field of crystal growth and can better maintain the stability of the temperature field. However, the top observation method is not easy to observe the state of the seed crystal and the melt surface, which is inconvenient when performing inoculation operations and has high requirements for operators; the side observation method can be observed more conveniently, and the operator can observe the state of the seed crystal and the melt surface when performing inoculation operations. However, the current side observation method has a relatively large effect on the overall temperature field of crystal growth, which is not conducive to the growth of artificial crystals.
[0004] For this purpose, we propose a crystal furnace observation window. Utility Model Content

[0042] The front end of the first observation window assembly 1 is arranged in an arc shape so as to allow the observation window assembly to fit tightly with the furnace of crystal growth.
[0043] An inner first observation hole 11 is arranged at the lower arc-shaped end of the front end of the first observation window assembly 1, and an inner second observation hole 12 is arranged at the convex upper end of the first observation window assembly 1.
