[0002] Most semiconductor integrated circuit crystals are grown using the physical vapor transport (PVT) method. The basic principle of crystal growth is to place the raw material at the bottom of a graphite crucible and heat the crucible using the skin effect through an induction coil. Once a certain temperature is reached, the raw material decomposes into gas and volatilizes to the seed crystal area at the top of the crucible. After a series of chemical reactions, SiC is generated and crystallizes on the surface of the seed crystal through a certain axial and radial temperature gradient to obtain single-crystal silicon carbide with a certain structure.
[0003] When silicon carbide crystals are grown in a growth furnace, it is often necessary to introduce a certain gas pressure into the growth furnace and apply a certain temperature to the outside to promote the growth of silicon carbide crystals.

[0037] In the embodiments, by Figure 1-6 A heating device for a silicon carbide crystal growth furnace is provided, wherein, Figure 1 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the heating device for the silicon carbide crystal growth furnace of this utility model; Figure 2 This is a schematic diagram of the heating device of the silicon carbide crystal growth furnace from another angle. Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the adjusting component of this utility model; Figure 4 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the correction component of this utility model; Figure 5 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the correction component from another perspective.
[0038] Figure 6 This is a schematic diagram of the overall structure of the heating component of this utility model. It includes an operating platform 1 with a mounting surface; an adjusting component 2, which is detachably mounted on the mounting surface of the operating platform 1; a correction component 3, which is detachably mounted on the adjusting component 2 and can be pushed by the adjusting component 2 in the forward, backward, left, and right directions; and a heating component 4, which is detachably mounted on the correction component 3. The heating component 4 includes a tail support 41 mounted on the correction component 3, a traction plate 42 detachably mounted on the tail support 41, a first heating ring 43 removably mounted on the traction plate 42, multiple sets of locking screws 44 inserted into the first heating ring 43, multiple sets of first locking nuts 45 and multiple sets of second locking nuts 46 rotatably mounted on each set of locking screws 44, and a second heating ring 47 and a third heating ring 48 detachably mounted on the multiple sets of first heating rings 43.
[0039] The overall concept of this utility model is as follows: By using the adjustable component 2, the position of the heating component 4 in the front and left / right directions can be quickly changed. By using the corrective component 3, the operator can push the third displacement plate 34 downwards by activating the third electric cylinder 32, allowing the heating component 4 to be fitted onto the growth furnace. Activating the drive motor 35 causes the drive wheel 36 and the rotating plate 38 to rotate slightly, correcting the overall alignment of the heating component 4 and making it easier to fit onto the growth furnace. Even after the growth furnace shifts, it can still be fitted onto the furnace. Through the arrangement of the heating components... When adjusting the heating element 4, the second heating ring 47 and the third heating ring 48 are first loosened, and then moved up and down to adjust their positions. This allows the heating element 4 to heat different parts of the growth furnace. After adjusting the positions of the second heating ring 47 and the third heating ring 48, the first locking nut 45 and the second locking nut 46 are used to lock the second heating ring 47 and the third heating ring 48 respectively, ensuring that the heating element 4 heats the growth furnace more evenly.
[0040] In some embodiments, more specifically, in order to further improve the locking effect of the first heating ring 43, the upper end face of the first heating ring 43 is in contact with the first locking nut 45, and the lower end face of the first heating ring 43 is in contact with the second locking nut 46.
[0041] When locking the first heating ring 43, simply rotate the first locking nut 45 to fit against the upper surface of the first heating ring 43, and rotate the second locking nut 46 to fit against the lower surface of the first heating ring 43 to complete the locking operation of the first heating ring 43.
[0042] In some embodiments, more specifically, in order to enable the heating element 4 to heat different positions of the growth furnace as a whole, so as to make the heating effect of the heating element 4 more uniform, the second heating ring 47 is located above the first heating ring 43, and there is a first adjustable gap between the second heating ring 47 and the first heating ring 43; the third heating ring 48 is located below the first heating ring 43, and there is a second adjustable gap between the third heating ring 48 and the first heating ring 43.
[0043] By first loosening the restraints on the second heating ring 47 and the third heating ring 48, and then moving the second heating ring 47 and the third heating ring 48 up and down, the positions of the second heating ring 47 and the third heating ring 48 can be adjusted so that the heating component 4 as a whole can heat different positions of the growth furnace. After the positions of the second heating ring 47 and the third heating ring 48 are adjusted, the first locking nut 45 and the second locking nut 46 are used to lock the second heating ring 47 and the third heating ring 48 respectively.
[0044] In some embodiments, more specifically, in order to enable the first locking nut 45 and the second locking nut 46 to lock the second heating ring 47 and the third heating ring 48 respectively, the upper and lower end faces of the second heating ring 47 are respectively in contact with one set of the first locking nut 45 and the second locking nut 46, and the upper and lower end faces of the third heating ring 48 are respectively in contact with another set of the first locking nut 45 and the second locking nut 46.
[0045] In some embodiments, more specifically, in order to further prevent the first heating ring 43 from scalding the traction plate 42 during the heating process, the cross-sectional area of the traction plate 42 is arc-shaped, and a heat insulation pad is detachably installed on the traction plate 42, and the size of the heat insulation pad is adapted to the size of the traction plate 42.
[0046] Next, a more specific structure and construction of the adjusting component 2 will be given for further explanation. The adjusting component 2 includes a machine base 21, which is detachably mounted on the mounting plane of the operating table 1; a horizontal plate 22, which is detachably arranged on the machine base 21, and a first electric cylinder 23 is detachably mounted on the horizontal plate 22. A first displacement plate 24 is detachably arranged on the output end of the first electric cylinder 23; a second electric cylinder 25, which is detachably arranged on the first displacement plate 24; and a second displacement plate 26, on which a connecting plate 27 is detachably arranged, and the connecting plate 27 is detachably connected to the output end of the second electric cylinder 25.
[0047] Next, the working principle of the adjustment component 2 will be further explained. By activating the first electric cylinder 23, the operator can push the second displacement plate 26 to move in the left and right direction. By activating the second electric cylinder 25, the operator can push the second displacement plate 26 to move in the front and back direction, which can quickly adjust the position of the heating component 4 in the front, back, left and right directions.
[0048] Next, a more specific structure and construction of the correction component 3 will be given for further explanation. The correction component 3 includes a mounting plate 31, which is detachably mounted on the adjusting component 2. A third electric cylinder 32 is detachably mounted on the mounting plate 31; an insert plate 33, which is detachably arranged on the output end of the third electric cylinder 32. A third displacement plate 34 is detachably arranged on the insert plate 33; a drive motor 35, which is detachably mounted on the third displacement plate 34. A drive wheel 36 is detachably mounted on the output end of the drive motor 35. A belt 37 is removably sleeved on the drive wheel 36; and a rotating plate 38, which is rotatably arranged on the third displacement plate 34. A rotating shaft is located inside the rotating plate 38. A driven wheel 39 is located on the rotating shaft, and the driven wheel 39 can be bypassed by the belt 37.
[0049] Next, the working principle and effect of the correction component 3 will be further explained. By turning on the switch of the third electric cylinder 32, the staff can push the third displacement plate 34 to move down, so that the heating component 4 can be fitted onto the growth furnace. By turning on the drive motor 35, the drive wheel 36 and the rotating plate 38 can be rotated slightly, which can correct the deviation of the heating component 4 and make it easier to fit onto the heating component 4. Even after the growth furnace is deviated, it can still be fitted onto the growth furnace.
[0050] In some embodiments, in order to further reduce the speed of the drive motor 35 during rotation, the diameter of the driven wheel 39 is twice the diameter of the driving wheel 36, and the driven wheel 39 is in contact with the third displacement plate 34 in the initial position.
[0051] In summary, the adjustable components 2 allow for rapid changes in the overall position of the heating component 4 in the front and left / right directions. The corrective components 3 allow the operator to activate the third electric cylinder 32, which pushes the third displacement plate 34 downwards, enabling the heating component 4 to be fitted onto the growth furnace. Activating the drive motor 35 causes the drive wheel 36 and the rotating plate 38 to rotate slightly, correcting the overall position of the heating component 4 and facilitating its placement. Even after the growth furnace shifts, the component remains fitted onto the furnace. The placement of the heating component 4 ensures proper heating... When adjusting component 4, the positions of the second heating ring 47 and the third heating ring 48 are adjusted by first loosening the restraints on the second heating ring 47 and the third heating ring 48 and then moving them up and down. This allows the heating component 4 to heat different parts of the growth furnace. After adjusting the positions of the second heating ring 47 and the third heating ring 48, the first locking nut 45 and the second locking nut 46 are used to lock the second heating ring 47 and the third heating ring 48 respectively. This ensures that the heating component 4 heats the growth furnace more evenly.
[0052] Although embodiments of the present invention have been shown and described, it will be understood by those skilled in the art that various changes, modifications, substitutions and alterations can be made to these embodiments without departing from the principles and spirit of the present invention, the scope of which is defined by the appended claims and their equivalents.
