Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of crystal growth technology, specifically a high-efficiency temperature field homogenization device for crystal growth. Background Technology

[0002] A crystal growth apparatus is a specialized device that promotes the orderly arrangement of atoms or molecules to form single or polycrystalline materials under precisely controlled environmental conditions such as temperature field, air pressure, and atmosphere. Its core function is to build a stable temperature gradient through a heating system. It is widely used in the preparation of key materials such as sapphire, silicon carbide, and laser crystals, and is a core piece of equipment in high-end fields such as semiconductors, optics, and electronics.

[0003] In the field of crystal growth, existing cylindrical growth furnaces for crystal growth generally adopt sidewall heating, which provides the heat required for crystal growth through heating wires or heating jackets around the circumference of the furnace body. However, the heat is only input from the radial sidewall in one direction, which easily forms a non-uniform temperature field with "low temperature at the top, temperature drop at the bottom, and overheating in the middle". This temperature field with large temperature difference will cause instability at the crystal growth interface, leading to crystal cracking and making it difficult to meet the crystal growth requirements. To this end, we propose a high-efficiency temperature field homogenization device for crystal growth. Utility Model Content

A bidirectional threaded rod 42 is fixedly connected to the output end of the rotating motor 41 through the top plate of the spindle-shaped growth furnace 1. A fixed sleeve is provided on the surface of the output end of the rotating motor 41. A sealing sleeve is provided, which is rotatably connected to the top plate of the spindle-shaped growth furnace 1. The bottom end of the bidirectional threaded rod 42 is rotatably connected to the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the spindle-shaped growth furnace 1. The inner cavity of the spindle-shaped growth furnace 1 is provided with a limiting rod 43. The top end of the limiting rod 43 is fixedly connected to the top surface of the inner cavity of the spindle-shaped growth furnace 1, and the bottom end of the limiting rod 43 is fixedly connected to the bottom surface of the inner cavity of the spindle-shaped growth furnace 1. Both ends of the bidirectional threaded rod 42 are threadedly connected to arc-shaped heating rings 44. Both arc-shaped heating rings 44 are hollow, and heating wires are fixedly installed in the cavities. Temperature sensors 45 are fixedly installed on the top surfaces of both arc-shaped heating rings 44.

[0024] In practice, by installing heating plates on the side walls, bottom and top of the spindle-shaped growth furnace 1, the temperature at the top and bottom of the spindle-shaped growth furnace 1 can be increased, thereby reducing the heat difference in the temperature field.

[0025] The rotating motor 41 is started, and the output end of the rotating motor 41 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 42 to rotate in both directions. The bidirectional threaded rod 42 drives the two arc-shaped heating rings 44 to rotate back and forth. The temperature sensor 45 on the arc-shaped heating rings 44 is used to detect the temperature inside the spindle-shaped growth furnace 1. When the local temperature reaches the set threshold of the first temperature sensor 45, the heating wire is started to heat, which further enhances the uniformity of the temperature field and enhances the practicality of the device.

[0026] As a technical optimization of this utility model, the sliding mechanism 5 includes an electric telescopic rod 51 fixedly connected to the side wall of the spindle-shaped growth furnace 1. A limiting slide rod 52 is provided above the electric telescopic rod 51. One end of the limiting slide rod 52 is fixedly connected to the side wall of the spindle-shaped growth furnace 1.

[0027] In practice, the electric telescopic rod 51 is activated, and the sealing door 54 is opened by the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 51. The crystal to be grown is placed on the placement box 56. The sealing door 54 is retracted by the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 51 to seal the feed port 6. The placement box 56 can be moved to the center of the cavity of the spindle-shaped growth furnace 1 for growth, which is convenient for use.

[0028] After the crystal growth is completed, the L-shaped connecting rod 53 is moved by activating the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 51, which will open the sealing door 54 and remove the crystal from the placement box 56.

[0029] The stability of the device during use can be enhanced by utilizing the counterweight 3 on the base plate 2.

[0030] In use, the electric telescopic rod 51 is activated, and the telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 51 drives the sealing door 54 to open, placing the crystal to be grown on the placement box 56. The telescopic end of the electric telescopic rod 51 drives the sealing door 54 to retract and seal the feed port 6. The placement box 56 can then be moved to the center of the cavity of the spindle-shaped growth furnace 1 for growth. During the growth process, the rotating motor 41 is activated, and the output end of the rotating motor 41 drives the bidirectional threaded rod 42 to rotate in both directions. The bidirectional threaded rod 42 drives the two arc-shaped heating rings 44 to rotate back and forth. The temperature sensor 45 on the arc-shaped heating rings 44 is used to detect the temperature inside the cavity of the spindle-shaped growth furnace 1. When the local temperature reaches the set threshold of the first temperature sensor 45, the heating wire is activated to heat the area, enhancing the uniformity of the temperature field.
