[0034] like Figs. 1-2 As shown, this application embodiment can provide a boat support device, which may include: a boat support body 1, and a bearing cavity 11 is provided through the boat support body 1;

[0035] Several fixing parts 2 are arranged sequentially in the bearing cavity 11, and one fixing part 2 is used to accommodate and fix a quartz boat.

[0036] In this embodiment, by arranging several fixing parts 2 in the bearing cavity 11 of the boat support body 1 to accommodate the quartz boat, the stability of fixing the quartz boat is effectively increased, thereby effectively protecting the integrity of the silicon wafer inside the quartz boat and reducing production costs.

[0037] It should be noted that the setting of the fixing part 2 enables the quartz boat to be more stably fixed on the boat support body 1; when the stability of the quartz boat is improved, the boat support body 1 can appropriately increase its moving speed, which can effectively reduce the process time and improve production efficiency.

[0038] In an optional embodiment, the fixing part 2 includes a first fixing plate 21 and a second fixing plate 22, which are disposed opposite to each other in the bearing cavity 11. A fixing groove 23 is formed between the first fixing plate 21 and the second fixing plate 22, and the fixing groove 23 is used to accommodate and fix the quartz boat.

[0039] In this embodiment, a fixing groove 23 is formed between the first fixing plate 21 and the second fixing plate 22. The fixing groove 23 can be used to accommodate the quartz boat, and the first fixing plate 21 and the second fixing plate 22 can fix and limit the two sides of the quartz boat, so as to stably fix the quartz boat in the fixing groove 23, thereby improving the stability of the quartz boat installed on the boat support body 1.

[0040] In an optional embodiment, the side of the first fixing plate 21 facing the second fixing plate 22 is provided with a first bearing plate 211 for supporting and fixing the quartz boat; and / or the side of the second fixing plate 22 facing the first fixing plate 21 is provided with a second bearing plate 221 for supporting and fixing the quartz boat.

[0041] It should be noted that, in the embodiments of this application, the first bearing plate 211 may be provided only on the first fixing plate 21, or the second bearing plate 221 may be provided only on the second fixing plate 22, or the first bearing plate 211 and the second bearing plate 221 may be provided on the first fixing plate 21 and the second fixing plate 22 respectively.

[0042] In this embodiment, the first support plate 211 and the second support plate 221 mainly serve to support the bottom of the quartz boat, so as to assist the first fixing plate 21 and the second fixing plate 22 in stably fixing the quartz boat to the boat support body 1.

[0043] In optional embodiments, the first support plate 211 is provided with a first connecting portion for fixing to the quartz boat; and / or the second support plate 221 is provided with a second connecting portion for fixing to the quartz boat. It should be noted that, in this embodiment, the first connecting portion may be provided only on the first support plate 211, or the second connecting portion may be provided only on the second support plate 221, or the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion may be provided on both the first support plate 211 and the second support plate 221. The provision of the first connecting portion and the second connecting portion can further improve the stability of the quartz boat on the boat support body 1.

[0044] In an optional embodiment, the first connecting portion includes a first magnetic plate 212 and a second magnetic plate, the first magnetic plate 212 being disposed on the first fixing plate 21 and the second magnetic plate being disposed on the bottom of the quartz boat for contacting the first connecting portion; and / or the second connecting portion includes a third magnetic plate 222 and a fourth magnetic plate, the third magnetic plate 222 being disposed on the second fixing plate 22 and the fourth magnetic plate being disposed on the bottom of the quartz boat for contacting the second connecting portion.

[0045] In this embodiment, when the quartz boat is placed in the fixing groove 23, the first magnetic suction plate 212 and the second magnetic suction plate are magnetically connected, and the third magnetic suction plate 222 and the fourth magnetic suction plate are magnetically connected, thereby improving the stability of the connection between the quartz boat and the first support plate 211 and the second support plate 221, and thus the quartz boat can be stably fixed on the boat support body 1.

[0046] In an optional embodiment, the upper end of the first fixing plate 21 is inclined away from the second fixing plate 22; and / or the upper end of the second fixing plate 22 is inclined away from the first fixing plate 21. Only the first fixing plate 21 may be inclined, only the second fixing plate 22 may be inclined, or both the first fixing plate 21 and the second fixing plate 22 may be inclined. The inclined first fixing plate 21 and / or the second fixing plate 22 facilitates the insertion of the quartz boat into the fixing groove 23 and reduces interference with the quartz boat.

[0047] In an optional embodiment, a first flow port 213 is provided through the first fixing plate 21, and a second flow port 223 is provided through the second fixing plate 22; wherein the first flow port 213 and the second flow port 223 correspond to each other.

[0048] In this embodiment, the first flow port 213 and the second flow port 223 are respectively provided, which can allow the atmosphere to flow while also uniformly distributing the airflow, thus playing the role of uniform flow and stabilizing the atmosphere, and ensuring the stability of the gas field inside the entire furnace tube.

[0049] In an optional embodiment, the boat support body 1 includes side plates 12 and end plates 13. Two sets of side plates 12 are symmetrically arranged, and the end plates 13 are connected to both ends of the side plates 12 and are perpendicularly connected to the side plates 12. The side plates 12 and end plates 13 enclose and form a bearing cavity 11. The arrangement of the side plates 12 and end plates 13 realizes the formation of the bearing cavity 11 that runs through the boat support body 1.

[0050] In an optional embodiment, the side plate 12 is provided with a snap-fit ​​groove 121, which is used to snap-fit ​​with the fixing lugs on the side of the quartz boat. When the quartz boat is fixed in the fixing groove 23, the fixing lugs are also snap-fitted with the snap-fit ​​groove 121, thereby further improving the stability of the quartz boat fixed on the boat support body 1.

[0051] In an optional embodiment, a vent 131 is provided through the end plate 13. The vent 131 can further improve the uniformity of atmosphere flow, thereby playing a role in uniform flow and stabilizing the atmosphere, and ensuring the stability of the gas field inside the entire furnace tube.
