Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model belongs to the field of semiconductor crystal growth furnace technology, and in particular relates to a wireless remote dual-focal-length visual monitoring device for semiconductor crystal growth furnaces. Background Technology
[0002] In the production of semiconductor silicon rods, the crystal growth furnace is a critical piece of equipment, and the growth state of the silicon rods inside directly affects product quality. The silicon rod production process is mainly divided into three stages: wafer pulling, shoulder formation, and diameter equalization. The shape and size of the silicon rod change significantly at each stage. Traditional visual monitoring systems for crystal growth furnaces typically use industrial cameras with a single focal length, which cannot simultaneously meet the monitoring needs of different production stages. For example, in the wafer pulling and shoulder formation stages, the silicon rod is relatively small, requiring a telephoto lens to capture details; while in the diameter equalization stage, the silicon rod is relatively large, requiring a close-focus lens to capture the entire scene.
[0003] Although a monocular lens can achieve both near and far focus shooting by cropping and magnifying distant images, this method has obvious drawbacks:
[0004] 1. Poor image quality: The enlarged image has low resolution and blurry details, making it difficult to meet the requirements of high-precision monitoring.
[0005] 2. Limited field of view: A single-lens reflex camera cannot simultaneously meet the shooting needs of both telephoto and close-up shots, requiring frequent adjustments to the lens position or focal length, which is complex and inefficient.
[0006] 3. Insufficient real-time performance: Screenshotting and zooming increase image processing time, affecting the real-time monitoring effect.
[0007] Furthermore, traditional monitoring systems mostly employ wired connections, resulting in complex wiring that is difficult to adapt to the high-temperature, high-dust industrial environment. They also suffer from insufficient heat dissipation, easily leading to overheating and affecting long-term stable operation. Therefore, a visual monitoring device is needed that can adapt to the monitoring needs of different production stages, possesses wireless remote image transmission capabilities, and has excellent heat dissipation performance to improve the automation level and product quality of semiconductor silicon rod production.
