[0002] The direct pulling method for producing single crystal silicon is currently the main method for preparing single crystal silicon. The thermal field system is one of the most important conditions for the crystallization of silicon materials. The temperature gradient distribution of the thermal field directly affects whether the single crystal can be pulled out smoothly and whether the quality of the single crystal can be controlled. The carbon / carbon composite crucible or graphite crucible used to carry the molten silicon raw material and the quartz crucible is the key core component in the thermal field system. The carbon / carbon composite crucible or graphite crucible is mainly used to carry the quartz crucible filled with molten silicon raw material at high temperature.
