Before pulling the single crystal, the seed crystal needs to maintain a stable state to ensure that the seed crystal will not shake during the growth process and avoid the generation of stress.

[0003] Currently, seed crystal positioning is entirely done manually. This process requires lowering the seed crystal to a visible position in the auxiliary chamber of the single crystal furnace, using tools to stabilize the seed crystal to a stationary state, and then manually raising the seed crystal to the specified position. This process often takes three to five minutes, which wastes a lot of time and is an important reason affecting the automation process of the single crystal furnace. In addition, due to the relationship between skills and time, the stability and accuracy of the seed crystal is difficult to guarantee for some operations, which will lead to abnormal accidents such as single crystal shaking during the subsequent crystal pulling process.
