[0021] The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the embodiments described are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of the present invention.

[0022] The utility model provides Figure 1-3 The main heater for reducing the oxygen content of a silicon single crystal shown includes a heating base 2 and a bottom heater 3 mounted on the upper end of the heating base 2;

[0023] A main heater a4 is provided on the upper side of the bottom heater 3;

[0024] A main heater b5 is provided on the upper side of the main heater a4;

[0025] A main heater c6 is provided on the upper side of the main heater b5. When heating the silicon solution inside the single crystal furnace, the bottom heater 3, main heater a4, main heater b5 and main heater c6 can be turned on simultaneously to improve heat utilization and shorten the dissolution time. The main heater c6 and main heater b5 can be turned on separately to reduce the reaction rate of the bottom molten silicon with the crucible wall, thereby reducing the oxygen content of the silicon single crystal.

[0026] An insulating outer shell 7 is provided on the outer side of the bottom heater 3, and an aluminum film 8 is provided on the circular inner wall of the insulating outer shell 7. The heat generated during the heating process of the bottom heater 3, the main heater a4, the main heater b5 and the main heater c6, the reflecting surface of the aluminum film 8 faces the main heater a4, and the heat transfer to the outside can be reduced through the insulating outer shell 7 and the aluminum film 8, thereby improving the thermal insulation performance of the heater. During the heating operation, the insulation effect is better, the heat loss is reduced, and the heating efficiency is improved.

[0027] like Figure 2 As shown, glass fiber wool 10 is arranged inside the heat-insulating shell 7, ceramic fiber wool 12 is arranged on the right side of the glass fiber wool 10, a mesh frame b11 is provided on the left outer wall of the ceramic fiber wool 12 to limit the position of the ceramic fiber wool 12, and a mesh frame a9 is fixedly connected to the left outer wall of the glass fiber wool 10 to limit the position of the glass fiber wool 10.

[0028] The glass fiber cotton 10 and ceramic fiber cotton 12 can reflect the heat radiation that penetrates the aluminum film 8 for a second time, and can keep the heat radiation that cannot be reflected warm to avoid the temperature from spreading outward. The positions of the glass fiber cotton 10 and ceramic fiber cotton 12 can be limited by the mesh frames a9 and b11.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3As shown, the glass fiber wool 10 and the ceramic fiber wool 12 are both in sheet form, and the aluminum film 8 is adhered to the inner wall of the heat-insulating shell 7 by an adhesive.

[0030] The sheet-like glass fiber wool 10 and ceramic fiber wool 12 can be stably placed inside the heat-insulating outer shell 7 and can increase the contact area with heat radiation.

[0031] like Figure 1 As shown, the lower outer wall of the heating seat 2 is fixedly connected to the base 1, and the heating seat 2 supplies power to the bottom heater 3, the main heater a4, the main heater b5 and the main heater c6 respectively.

[0032] Different power-on units are arranged between the heating seat 2 and the bottom heater 3, main heater a4, main heater b5 and main heater c6. The heating seat 2 can transfer electric energy to the corresponding bottom heater 3, main heater a4, main heater b5 and main heater c6 according to demand, so as to achieve simultaneous power-on heating and separate power-on heating.

[0033] like Figure 1 As shown, the main heater c6 is connected between the foot plate and the base 1, the main heater a4 and the main heater b5 adopt an integrated connection design, the main heater a4, the main heater b5 and the main heater c6 are arranged concentrically in the longitudinal direction, and the bottom heater 3, the main heater a4, the main heater b5 and the main heater c6 are all made of graphite material.

[0034] The concentric arrangement of main heaters A4, B5, and C6 allows for more even heat transfer between the heaters, improving heating efficiency and stability. Different connection designs also affect the structural stability and service life. Graphite, a material with excellent thermal conductivity and high-temperature resistance, is suitable for high-temperature heating equipment. The graphite used in bottom heater 3, main heaters A4, B5, and C6 effectively conducts and evenly distributes heat, ensuring a uniform and stable temperature within the heaters.

[0035] The implementation principle of this embodiment is: when heating the silicon solution inside the single crystal furnace, the bottom heater 3, the main heater a4, the main heater b5 and the main heater c6 can be turned on at the same time to improve the heat utilization rate and shorten the dissolution time, and the main heater c6 and the main heater b5 can be turned on separately to reduce the reaction rate of the bottom molten silicon and the crucible wall, thereby reducing the oxygen content of the silicon single crystal. The heat emitted during the heating process of the bottom heater 3, the main heater a4, the main heater b5 and the main heater c6, the reflecting surface of the aluminum film 8 faces the main heater a4, and the heat transfer to the outside can be reduced through the heat-insulating shell 7 and the aluminum film 8, thereby improving the thermal insulation performance of the heater. During the heating operation, the insulation effect is better, the heat loss is reduced, and the heating efficiency is improved.
