Description

Technical Field

[0001] The utility model relates to the technical field of graphite boats, in particular to a stable bearing graphite boat for silicon wafer production. Background Art

[0002] Graphite boat is a device made of high-purity graphite. It is widely used in electronics, energy, environmental protection and other fields due to its high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. It looks like a small boat and can be used to manufacture, transport and process materials. In the production of silicon wafers, graphite boats are required for coating. The high efficiency and environmental protection of graphite boats make them occupy an important position in modern industry.

[0003] Publication No. CN208923068U proposes a graphite boat. When the graphite boat in the utility model is used to coat a silicon wafer, it is not necessary to turn the wafer over, which can effectively reduce the scratches on the edge of the silicon wafer caused by multiple insertions of the silicon wafer.

[0004] In the above patent, when coating silicon wafers, the upper end of the silicon wafer is limited by the upper slot and the bottom is supported by the lower slot. However, the spacing between the upper slots is fixed and cannot be adjusted. When the thickness of the silicon wafer is less than the spacing between the upper slots, the silicon wafer is prone to sliding. The ability of the graphite boat to stably carry the silicon wafer is average, which in turn affects the effect of silicon wafer coating. For this reason, we propose a stable carrying graphite boat for silicon wafer production. Utility Model Content

[0005] The utility model aims to provide a stable bearing graphite boat for silicon wafer production, so as to solve the problem that the silicon wafer is prone to slipping and thus affects the coating effect of the silicon wafer mentioned in the above background technology.

[0006] In order to achieve the above purpose, the utility model provides the following technical solutions:

[0007] A stable load-bearing graphite boat for silicon wafer production comprises a graphite boat main body, in which a plurality of groups of graphite boat sheets are installed, two groups of conductive rods are connected between adjacent graphite boat sheets distributed in a vertical direction, slide grooves are provided at the top ends of both side walls of each group of graphite boat sheets, two groups of sliders are slidably connected in each group of slide grooves, and upper limit plates are installed on the outer walls of each group of sliders, compression springs are provided between each group of sliders and the inner wall of the slide groove, and lower V-shaped frames are installed on the bottom ends of both side walls of each group of graphite boat sheets.

[0008] Furthermore: a slot for passing the silicon wafer is provided between adjacent upper limit plates.

[0009] Furthermore: each group of graphite boat sheets is connected with different electrodes.

[0010] Furthermore, the height of the graphite boat is 160mm-300mm, the spacing between the front and rear adjacent graphite boats is 5mm-20mm, and the spacing between the left and right adjacent graphite boats is 150mm-170mm.

[0011] Furthermore: a soft pad is arranged on one side of each set of upper limit plates close to the silicon wafer, and a soft pad is also arranged on the inner wall of the lower V-shaped frame.

[0012] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of the utility model are:

[0013] The utility model can make the adjacent upper limit plates always keep the tendency of moving in relative directions through the sliding of the slider in the slide groove and the elasticity of the compression spring, so as to limit the upper end position of the silicon wafer. The space of the lower V-shaped frame gradually becomes smaller from top to bottom, so as to limit the lower end position of the silicon wafer, thereby preventing the silicon wafer from sliding when being coated in the graphite boat, improving the ability of the graphite boat to stably carry the silicon wafer and improving the coating effect of the silicon wafer.

Among them, coating a silicon wafer with the graphite boat body 100 is a technology disclosed in a graphite boat with publication number CN208923068U, which is not described here. When the silicon wafer is placed on the graphite boat body 10 for coating, the silicon wafer is vertically placed between the left and right adjacent upper limit plates 103, and the bottom is limited by the left and right adjacent lower V-shaped frames 104. Through the sliding of the slider 106 in the slide groove 105 and the elasticity of the compression spring 107, the adjacent upper limit plates 103 (fixedly connected to the slider 106) can always maintain a tendency to move in relative directions, and the upper end position of the silicon wafer can be limited. The space of the lower V-shaped frame 104 gradually decreases from top to bottom, and the lower end position of the silicon wafer can be limited to avoid the silicon wafer from sliding when coating in the graphite boat body 10, thereby improving the ability of the graphite boat to stably carry the silicon wafer and improving the effect of silicon wafer coating.

[0022] Preferably, slots for passing silicon wafers are provided between adjacent upper limit plates 103 ; the size of the slots is adjusted according to the movement of the upper limit plates 103 , so that silicon wafers of different thicknesses can be limited.
