[0030] The specific embodiments of the utility model are described in further detail below in combination with the drawings and embodiments. The following embodiments are used to illustrate the utility model, but not to limit the scope of the utility model.
[0031] The following refers to Figures 1 to 4 The embodiment of the utility model is explained as follows: EMBODIMENT

At the same time, the support plane is arranged at the bottom of the silicon boat body, so that the silicon boat body will not shake and other phenomena, and the wafer is more stable when processing.
[0035] As shown in Figure 3 , the circular arc-shaped groove 20 of the embodiment is formed with a fillet 201 on both sides of the slot, and the fillet can facilitate the insertion of the wafer.
[0036] As shown in Figure 1As shown, the silicon boat body 10 of this embodiment has a plurality of weight-reducing channels 60 formed on the through arc-shaped grooves 20. By setting multiple weight-reducing channels, the weight of the entire silicon boat can be greatly reduced, and the contact area between the wafer inserted into the arc-shaped groove and the arc-shaped groove can be reduced, thus reducing wafer insertion and wear.
[0037] The silicon boat body 10 has a positioning hole 40 formed at its end. By setting the positioning hole, the silicon boat can be positioned easily and the wafer can be accurately inserted into the arc-shaped groove.
