Description

Technical Field

[0002] With the rapid development of the semiconductor industry, the demand for large-diameter silicon single crystals with high purity, high integrity, and high uniformity has greatly increased. This requires reducing defects and impurities in single crystal materials and improving the uniformity of impurities such as oxygen and carbon during the growth of silicon single crystals. Currently, introducing a magnetic field into the melt space is a relatively effective method in the growth of large-diameter silicon single crystals. This effectively controls various convection currents in the melt, reduces crystal impurities, and improves the uniformity of impurity distribution.

[0003] In existing technologies, the lifting and lowering of magnetic fields typically employs three sets of T-shaped screw jacks, cylindrical guide shafts, servo motors, and other magnetic field control devices. During lifting, electronic limit switches are used to detect when the magnet reaches its limit position. When the electronic limit switch detects that the magnetic field has reached the preset limit position, it sends a signal to stop the lifting mechanism. However, the magnetic field itself is too heavy, and when the magnet reaches its limit position, it is very easy for the inertia to cause poor stability when the magnet stops moving and inaccurate limit position due to excessive speed.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0032] The technical solutions in the embodiments of the present application will be described clearly and completely below with reference to the drawings in the embodiments of the present application. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present application, rather than all the embodiments. Based on the embodiments in the present application, all other embodiments obtained by those skilled in the art without creative work fall within the scope of protection of the present application.

[0033] As Figures 1-5 shown, the utility model provides a technical scheme: a single crystal furnace magnetic field lifting mechanism limiting assembly, including two groups of mounting structure main body 1 and a control piece 2, two groups of mounting structure main body 1 are arranged at two limit positions close to magnet lifting track respectively, and two mounting structure main bodies 1 are symmetrically arranged up and down, the side close to magnet of two mounting structure main bodies 1 is connected with first travel switch 3 and second travel switch 4,

[0034] The control piece 2 is installed on the magnet extension seat of the single crystal furnace, and is used to trigger the first travel switch 3 and the second travel switch 4 in the lifting movement of the magnet; the control piece 2 is a back-shaped structure, the side close to the first travel switch 3 of the back-shaped structure is provided with a deceleration control surface 5, the control piece 2 is provided with an upper limit control surface and a lower limit control surface above and below the deceleration control surface 5, in the lifting movement, the deceleration control surface 5 is in contact with the detection end of the first travel switch 3, the speed is controlled to start to reduce before the magnet moves to the limit position, then the upper limit control surface or the lower limit control surface is in contact with the corresponding second travel switch 4, so that the magnet stops moving.

[0035] In use, the two installation structure bodies 1 are respectively installed on the base of the single crystal furnace, and then the back-shaped structure is installed on the magnet extension seat. Through the magnet in the lifting movement, the magnet extension seat is driven to move, and then the back-shaped structure is driven to move. After rising / descending to the appropriate height, the deceleration control surface 5 of the back-shaped structure first contacts the detection end of the first travel switch 3 on the upper installation structure body 1, so that the first travel switch 3 transmits a signal. Then, through the control component on the equipment, the elevator motor driving the magnet to rise and fall starts to execute deceleration, and then the back-shaped structure starts to decelerate. Then, the upper limit control surface / limit control surface of the back-shaped structure contacts the corresponding second travel switch 4, so that the second travel switch 4 outputs a signal. Through the control device on the equipment, the elevator motor stops running, so that the magnet stops moving. In order to make the magnet move between the two first travel switches 3 at a normal speed, then start to decelerate after triggering the first travel switch 3, it ensures the moving speed of the magnetic field, reduces the waiting time of the operator, and ensures the stability and position accuracy when the magnetic field stops moving. Compared with the traditional method of setting an electronic limiter at the limit position, the speed of the device near the limit position is slowed down by respectively decelerating and limiting before the upper and lower limit positions, so as to avoid too fast speed and unstable device stop running. At the same time, compared with the method of not increasing the deceleration limit and only realizing stop through the servo motor and frequency converter, the program instruction is simpler, which is conducive to reducing the cost.

In use, first, the distance between the first installation plate 101 and the second installation plate 102 is adjusted to an appropriate distance through the telescopic structure, and then the distance is fixed through the locking assembly. Then, at least one of the first installation plate 101 or the second installation plate 102 is fixed on the base beside the movement track, so as to fix the distance between the first stroke switch 3 and the second stroke switch 4. Preferably, the first installation plate 101 at the limit position is fixed through the corresponding mounting hole, and then the locking assembly is opened when the distance of the magnet needs to be adjusted, and then the bolt of the second installation plate 102 is removed, and then the second installation plate 102 is pulled and locked through the locking assembly after being adjusted to an appropriate position, so as to adjust the distance between the first stroke switch 3 and the second stroke switch 4 according to the distance required by the magnet.
