Description

TECHNICAL FIELD

[0002] The seed crystal adheres graphite paper after the glue film sintering solidification process is a key process in the preparation of semiconductor materials.

[0026] Embodiment one

[0027] As Figures 1-5As shown, the jig for preventing seed crystal sliding provided in the embodiment includes a limiting piece 1 and a pressing block 2. The limiting piece 1 is provided with a through upper and lower accommodating part 3. The bottom of the accommodating part 3 and the size and shape of the crucible upper cover 4 are matched. The top of the accommodating part 3 and the size and shape of the pressing block 2 are matched. The pressing block 2 and the seed crystal 5 are further provided with a buffer layer 6. Specifically, the through upper and lower accommodating part built in the limiting piece, which is accurately matched in shape and size, plays a core role: the bottom is designed according to the profile of the crucible upper cover, which ensures that the jig can be firmly attached to the crucible upper cover when installed, effectively limiting the movement of the jig in the vertical direction, and providing a stable reference surface for the positioning of the seed crystal; while the top of the accommodating part is closely matched with the shape and size of the pressing block. Such design not only enables the pressing block to accurately align the seed crystal position to apply pressure, but also reduces the loss in the process of pressure transmission through the close contact surface, ensuring the uniformity of pressure distribution. Further, the buffer layer added between the pressing block and the seed crystal serves as a medium for pressure transmission, which can not only absorb and disperse part of the impact force exerted by the pressing block, preventing the seed crystal from deviating due to direct pressure, but also ensure that the pressure on the surface of the seed crystal is softer and more uniform through its elastic properties, which helps the uniform curing of the adhesive between the graphite paper and the seed crystal, avoiding the deviation problem of the seed crystal caused by excessive local pressure. In summary, the present scheme solves the problems of deviation and uneven curing in the process of seed crystal hot-pressing bonding through the accurate matching of the limiting piece, the accurate pressure of the pressing block and the soft transmission of the buffer layer, and the three work together to fundamentally solve the problems of deviation and uneven curing in the process of seed crystal hot-pressing bonding, significantly improving the production efficiency and product quality.

[0028] During the hot-pressing process, if the jig does not provide heat preservation to the periphery, the temperature difference between the middle region and the edge region is large, resulting in uneven curing and bubbles. Preferably, a first heat preservation layer is further provided between the pressing block 2 and the seed crystal 5. During the hot-pressing bonding process, the seed crystal needs to maintain a certain temperature to ensure the effective curing of the adhesive. The presence of the first heat preservation layer can effectively reduce the loss of heat during the transmission process from the pressing block to the seed crystal, maintaining the stability of the temperature around the seed crystal. This not only helps the adhesive to cure uniformly and quickly, but also avoids the change of internal stress of the seed crystal caused by temperature fluctuation, thereby reducing the risk of seed crystal sliding due to temperature change. Further, the buffer layer 6 is graphite soft felt. As a buffer layer, graphite soft felt has the effect of a first heat preservation layer. Graphite soft felt has excellent flexibility and elasticity, which can play a good buffering role when the pressing block exerts pressure, protecting the seed crystal from direct impact and damage. At the same time, the good heat preservation performance and thermal stability of graphite soft felt can maintain stable physical and chemical properties in high temperature environment, and will not deform or fail due to temperature change. These characteristics not only effectively prevent the deviation of the seed crystal caused by uneven stress during the hot-pressing process, but also improve the overall heat preservation efficiency and stability of the jig.

[0029] Preferably, the shape of the limiting piece 1 is cylindrical. The cylindrical limiting piece not only has the advantages of simple structure, easy processing and installation, but also can provide stable support and positioning for the seed crystal during hot pressing.

[0030] Preferably, the limiting piece 1 is also provided with a second heat preservation layer. As a key component of the jig, the temperature stability of the limiting piece directly affects the positioning accuracy and bonding effect of the seed crystal. The second heat preservation layer can effectively isolate the influence of the external environment on the temperature of the limiting piece, maintain the constant temperature inside the limiting piece, and thus ensure that the seed crystal is always in an ideal temperature environment during hot pressing. This not only helps to reduce the thermal stress of the seed crystal caused by temperature changes, but also avoids the problem of seed crystal deviation caused by temperature gradient. Further, the material of the limiting piece 1 is graphite. Graphite has excellent heat preservation performance and thermal stability, and can maintain stable physical and chemical properties in a high temperature environment without deformation or damage due to temperature changes. At this time, the limiting piece itself acts as a second heat preservation layer. These characteristics make graphite an ideal choice for the material of the limiting piece, which not only effectively prevents the seed crystal from deviating during hot pressing due to temperature changes, but also improves the overall thermal efficiency and stability of the jig.

[0031] Preferably, the flatness of the pressing block 2 is less than or equal to 5um. As a component that directly acts on the seed crystal, the flatness of the surface of the pressing block directly affects the uniformity of the stress on the seed crystal and the bonding effect. A pressing block with high flatness can ensure that the pressure distribution on the surface of the seed crystal is more uniform when pressure is applied, avoiding damage or deviation of the seed crystal caused by excessive local pressure. In addition, a pressing block with high flatness can also increase the contact area between the adhesive and the seed crystal, enhance the bonding strength, and ensure the stability and reliability of the bonding effect. Further, the material of the pressing block 2 is 316 stainless steel. 316 stainless steel has excellent corrosion resistance and high temperature resistance and will not deform or be damaged due to corrosion or high temperature.

[0032] The assembly method of the present embodiment is as follows: the seed crystal 5 is bonded to the graphite paper 7, the seed crystal 5 is placed in the middle of the crucible cover 4 with the seed crystal 5 facing up, the limiting piece 1 is assembled to calibrate the position of the seed crystal 5 and prevent the seed crystal from sliding during hot pressing, the buffer layer 6, i.e. the graphite soft felt, is covered to provide heat preservation and reduce the temperature difference between the middle and the edge of the seed crystal. The pressing block 2 with high flatness and the graphite soft felt press the seed crystal 5 to make it bear uniform stress, ensuring that the thickness of the solidified glue film is uniform, and after hot pressing, the jig of the present embodiment can be easily disassembled and replaced, reducing the cooling time of the equipment and improving the utilization rate of the equipment.

[0033] The utility model discloses the description through the preferred embodiment, and the person skilled in the art knows that various changes or equivalent replacement can be made to these features and embodiments without departing from the spirit and scope of the utility model. The utility model is not limited by the specific embodiments disclosed here, and other embodiments falling within the claims of the present application all belong to the scope of protection of the utility model.
