The deflector, the water-cooled jacket, and the crucible are all provided in the furnace body. A crystal rod is formed in the crucible. The deflector and the water-cooled jacket are both provided around the crystal rod, and the water-cooled jacket is located above the deflector. A plane where the axial cross-section of the crystal rod is located is defined as a reference plane. The deflector is cut by the reference plane to form a cut surface. The inner contour line located on the crystal rod side of the cut surface is a first straight line segment extending in the vertical direction. One end adjacent to the liquid level of the crucible is a first straight line segment spaced from the liquid level.

[0016] In some embodiments of the present application, the liquid level forms a third arc surface with the outer peripheral wall of the crystal bar, and the connection location between the bottom wall of the deflector cylinder and the inner peripheral wall of the deflector cylinder forms a fourth arc surface set parallel to the third arc surface.

Of course, these are merely examples and do not limit the present application. It should be noted that in different examples of the present application, references to numbers and / or alphabets can be repeated. Such repetition is for the purpose of simplification and clarity and does not itself indicate the relationship between the various embodiments and / or settings being discussed. It should be noted that the present application provides examples of various specific processes and materials, but those skilled in the art can recognize the applicability of other processes and / or the use of other materials.
[0029] Hereinafter, the deflector 1 for the single crystal furnace 100 according to the embodiments of the present application will be described with reference to the drawings. The single crystal furnace 100 includes a deflector 1, a furnace body 2, a water-cooled jacket 3, and a crucible 4. The deflector 1, the water-cooled jacket 3, and the crucible 4 are all provided inside the furnace body 2. A crystal rod 5 is formed inside the crucible 4. The deflector 1 and the water-cooled jacket 3 are both provided around the crystal rod 5, and the water-cooled jacket 3 is located above the deflector 1.
[0030] For example, in an example of the present application, the crucible 4 has a storage space, and a silicon raw material for heating and melting is arranged in the storage space. A heater for heating the crucible 4 is provided inside the furnace body 2. By heating with the heater, the silicon raw material in the storage space can be melted into silicon liquid. Inside the furnace body 2, a deflector 1 and an argon gas pipe are further provided. The argon gas pipe passes through the top of the furnace body 2 and enters the furnace body 2, passes through the argon gas passage formed by the deflector 1 and the crystal rod 5, and promotes the growth of the crystal rod. Inside the furnace body 2, a water-cooled jacket 3 is further provided. The water-cooled jacket 3 is provided around the crystal rod 5 and is located above the deflector 1. It is configured to absorb the heat radiated from the crystal rod 5 and transfer it outside, thereby improving the heat dissipation efficiency of the crystal rod 5.
[0031] As shown in FIGS. 1 and 2, a plane where the axial cross-section of the crystal rod 5 is located is defined as a reference plane. The deflector 1 is cut by the reference plane to form a cut surface. The inner contour line located on the crystal rod 5 side of the cut surface includes a first straight line segment 11, a second straight line segment 13, and a line segment group 14.
[0032] Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, the first straight line segment 11 extends in the vertical direction, and one end of the first straight line segment 11 adjacent to the liquid surface of the crucible 4 is spaced apart from the liquid surface. Thereby, an air flow path for argon can be formed between the bottom end of the first straight line segment 11 and the liquid surface of the silicon liquid. Since the first straight line segment 11 is a straight line segment having a certain distance, a stable temperature gradient can be maintained in the region close to the liquid surface, which is advantageous for the growth of the crystal bar. Note that the length of the first straight line segment 11 should be equal to or greater than the height of the shoulder ring with respect to the growth diameter of the crystal bar 5. For example, in some embodiments of the present application, when an 8-inch crystal bar is grown, the Height of the shoulder ring is about 90 mm, but the length of the first straight line segment 11 should be 90 mm or more. When a 12-inch crystal bar is grown, the Height of the shoulder ring is about 160 mm, but the length of the first straight line segment 11 should be 160 mm or more.
[0033] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, one end of the second straight line segment 13 is connected to one end of the first straight line segment 11 that is separated from the crucible 4, and the other end extends upward obliquely in a direction away from the crystal bar 5. The angle formed by the second straight line segment 13 and the vertical direction is α (α shown in FIG. 3), and α ≧ 45°. By setting the second straight line segment 13, when the heat on the crystal bar 5 is incident on the second straight line segment 13 along the radial direction of the crystal bar 5, since the angle formed by the second straight line segment 13 and the vertical direction is 45° or more, the incident angle of the heat of this part on the second straight line segment 13 is also 45° or more. According to the principle that the reflection angle is equal to the incident angle, the angle formed by the second straight line segment 13 and The reflection direction of the reflected heat and the incident direction of the heat is 90° or more. Therefore, the heat of this part can be transmitted in a direction parallel to the outer wall surface of the crystal bar 5 or in a direction away from the outer wall surface of the crystal bar 5 after being reflected, and it is possible to avoid the heat of this part being reflected and returning to the crystal bar 5. Thus, the cooling of the crystal bar 5 can be accelerated, which is advantageous for reducing the thermal stress in the crystal bar 5, and it is possible to avoid the occurrence of holes and dislocation defects inside the crystal bar 5, and the production quality of the crystal bar 5 can be improved.
[0034] Specifically, in some embodiments of the present application, the angle formed by the second line segment 13 and the vertical direction may be 45°, 48°, 50°, 55°, 60°, etc. The angle formed by the second line segment 13 and the vertical direction can be specifically selected and set according to the model number and size of the single crystal furnace 100.
[0035] For example, in an example of the present application, the angle formed by the second line segment 13 and the vertical direction is 45°. When the heat on the crystal rod 5 is incident on the second line segment 13 along the radial direction of the crystal rod 5, the incident angle formed by the heat on the second line segment 13 is 45°. According to the principle that the reflection angle is equal to the incident angle, the reflection angle is also 45°. Since the second line segment 13 is set to be inclined upward, the reflected heat is transmitted vertically upward, that is, the reflected heat is transmitted along the direction parallel to the outer wall surface of the crystal rod 5, and it is possible to avoid the heat in this part being reflected and returning to the crystal rod 5.
[0036] Also, for example, in another example of the present application, the angle formed by the second line segment 13 and the vertical direction is 60°. When the heat on the crystal rod 5 is incident on the second line segment 13 along the radial direction of the crystal rod 5, the incident angle formed by the heat on the second line segment 13 is 60°. According to the principle that the reflection angle is equal to the incident angle, the reflection angle is also 60°. Since the second line segment 13 is set to be inclined upward, the reflected heat is transmitted in a direction inclined upward and away from the crystal rod 5, that is, the reflected heat is transmitted upward along the direction away from the crystal rod 5, and it is possible to avoid the heat in this part being reflected and returning to the crystal rod 5.
[0037] As shown in FIGS. 2 and 3, the line segment group 14 includes a plurality of straight line segments that are sequentially connected and have different inclination angles. One end thereof is connected to the other end of the second straight line segment 13, and the other end extends upward while inclining in a direction away from the crystal bar 5. As can be understood, the line segment group 14 includes a plurality of straight line segments that are sequentially connected, and each straight line segment extends upward while inclining in a direction away from the crystal bar 5. For example, the line segment group 14 includes five straight line segments. The first straight line segment is connected to the second straight line segment 13, the second straight line segment is connected to the first straight line segment, the third straight line segment is connected to the second straight line segment, the fourth straight line segment is connected to the third straight line segment, and the fifth straight line segment is connected to the fourth straight line segment.
[0038] As shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the line segment group 14 is configured to transfer the heat transferred from the crystal bar 5 to the line segment group 14 toward the water-cooled jacket 3, and use the water-cooled jacket 3 to prevent the heat from being transferred back to the crystal bar 5. As can be understood, the heat transferred from the crystal bar 5 to the line segment group 14 is transferred to the water-cooled jacket 3 after being reflected by the line segment group 14, and the water-cooled jacket 3 can be used to prevent the heat from being transferred back to the crystal bar 5. Therefore, the cooling of the crystal bar 5 can be accelerated, which is advantageous for reducing the thermal stress in the crystal bar 5, avoiding the occurrence of holes and dislocation defects inside the crystal bar 5, and improving the production quality of the crystal bar 5. In addition, by setting the second straight line segment 13 and the line segment group 14, the cooling of the crystal bar 5 can be accelerated, so the time in the heat dissipation stage of the crystal bar 5 in the manufacturing process can be shortened, and the production efficiency of the crystal bar 5 can be increased.
[0039] According to the deflector 1 for the single crystal furnace 100 of the embodiment of the present application, by setting the second straight line segment 13, when the heat on the crystal bar 5 is incident on the second straight line segment 13 along the radial direction of the crystal bar 5, since the angle formed by the second straight line segment 13 and the vertical direction is 45° or more, the incident angle of the heat at this part to the second straight line segment 13 is also 45° or more. According to the principle that the reflection angle is equal to the incident angle, at the second straight line segment 13 The reflection direction of the reflected heat and the incident direction of the heatThe angle formed with [the relevant object] is 90° or more. Therefore, the heat in this part can be transmitted in a direction parallel to the outer wall surface of the crystal bar 5 or in a direction away from the outer wall surface of the crystal bar 5 after being reflected, and it is possible to avoid the heat in this part being reflected and returning to the crystal bar 5. By setting the line segment group 14, the heat transmitted from the crystal bar 5 to the line segment group 14 can be transmitted to the water-cooled jacket 3 after being reflected by the line segment group 14, and the water-cooled jacket 3 is used to prevent the heat from being transmitted back to the crystal bar 5 conversely. Thus, the cooling of the crystal bar 5 can be accelerated, which is advantageous for reducing the thermal stress in the crystal bar 5, and it is possible to avoid the occurrence of holes and dislocation defects inside the crystal bar 5, and the production quality of the crystal bar 5 can be improved.
[0040] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, in the radial direction of the crystal bar 5, one end of the second straight line segment 13 away from the crystal bar 5 is flush with the outer edge of the water-cooled jacket 3 or is located outside the outer edge of the water-cooled jacket 3. In other words, in the radial direction of the crystal bar 5, one end of the second straight line segment 13 away from the crystal bar 5 (i.e., the upper end of the second straight line segment 13) may be flush with the outer edge of the water-cooled jacket 3, or in the radial direction of the crystal bar 5, one end of the second straight line segment 13 away from the crystal bar 5 is located outside the outer edge of the water-cooled jacket 3. Thereby, the heat reflected by the second straight line segment 13 can be reflected on the outer edge of the water-cooled jacket 3 or can be reflected outside the water-cooled jacket 3. For example, in one specific exemplary embodiment of the present application, in the radial direction of the crystal bar 5, one end of the second straight line segment 13 away from the crystal bar 5 is flush with the outer edge of the water-cooled jacket 3.
[0041] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, α satisfies 50° ≥ α ≥ 45°. As can be understood, by setting the angle formed by the second line segment 13 and the vertical direction between 45° and 50°, on the premise of ensuring that heat returns to the crystal rod 5, the radius of the upper end of the second line segment 13 can be reduced, thereby reducing the size of the flow guide cylinder 1 and the space occupied by the flow guide cylinder 1. For example, in some illustrations of the present application, the angle formed by the second line segment 13 and the vertical direction may be 45°, 46°, 47°, 48°, 49° or 50°.
[0042] In some embodiments of the present application, both ends of the line segment are respectively defined as end A and end B, the orthographic projection of end A on the crystal rod 5 is defined as C, the outer edge in the radial direction of the water-cooled jacket 3 is defined as D, and the inner edge in the radial direction of the water-cooled jacket 3 is defined as E. Then, the line segment AB is perpendicular to the angle bisector of ∠EAC, and the line segment AE is set parallel to the line segment BD. Here, end A is the end adjacent to the crystal rod 5 of the line segment.
[0043] As can be understood, each line segment in the line segment group 14 satisfies the above situation. With the above settings, the heat incident on the line segment from the crystal rod 5 can be reflected by the line segment and then reflected to E on the inner edge of the water-cooled jacket 3. Thereby, the use of the water-cooled jacket 3 can realize the blocking of heat, and effectively avoid the heat returning to the crystal rod 5.
[0044] For example, regarding the heat at point C of the crystal rod 5, the heat in this part can be transmitted to end A of the line segment, and after being reflected at end A, it can be transmitted to point E of the water-cooled jacket 3. That is, since CA is considered the incident path of the heat in this part, the normal line of the incident surface AB is the angle bisector of ∠EAC. Therefore, the transmission path reflected by the line segment is AE. Since the reflected heat is transmitted to the inner edge of the water-cooled jacket 3, the heat returning to the crystal rod 5 can be effectively avoided. Since each line segment has the same characteristics, the heat reflected by each line segment is transmitted to E on the inner edge of the water-cooled jacket 3.
[0045] Specifically, in one specific example of the present application, the processing procedures of the second line segment 13 and the line segments 141, 142, 143, 144, ……, line segment N of the line segment group 14 are as follows.
[0046] The first step: Process the second line segment 13. The starting point of the second line segment 13 is the upper endpoint of the first line segment 11, and the ending point of the second line segment 13 is point A1. Point A1 is flush with point D of the water-cooled jacket 3 in the radial direction of the crystal bar 5. Here, the second line segment 13 extends obliquely outward along the direction of the inclination angle of 45°.
[0047] The second step: Process the first line segment 141. The starting point of the first line segment 141 is A1, and the ending point is B1. The orthogonal projection of point A1 on the crystal bar 5 is point C1. Specifically, first find the angle bisector of ∠EA1C1. Starting from point A1, create a wall surface that is perpendicular to the angle bisector of ∠EA1C1 and obliquely upward. Also, translate EA1 to the position of point D to form the intersection point B1 with the above wall surface, and set A1B1 as the first line segment 141.
[0048] The third step: Process the second line segment 142. The starting point of the second line segment 142 is A2 that coincides with point B1 in the first line segment 141, and the ending point of the second line segment 142 is B2. The orthogonal projection of point A2 on the crystal bar 5 is point C2. Specifically, first find the angle bisector of ∠EA2C2. Starting from point A2, create a wall surface that is perpendicular to the angle bisector of ∠EA2C2 and obliquely upward.

Starting from point A3, create a wall surface that is perpendicular to the angle bisector of ∠EA3C3 and obliquely upward. Also, translate EA3 to the position of point D to form the intersection point B3 with the above wall surface, and set A3B3 as the third line segment 143.
[0050] Step 5: Process line segment four 144. The starting point of line segment four 144 is A4 which coincides with point B3 in line segment three 143, the ending point of line segment four 144 is B4, and the orthogonal projection of point A4 onto the crystal bar 5 is point C4. Specifically, first find the angle bisector of ∠EA4C4. Starting from point A4, create a wall surface that is perpendicular to the angle bisector of ∠EA4C4 and slopes upward. Also, translate EA4 to the position of point D to form the intersection point B4 with the above wall surface, and set A4B4 as line segment four 144.
[0051] Step 6: Process line segment five 145.

Also, translate EA6 to the position of point D to form the intersection point B6 with the above wall surface, and set A6B6 as line segment six.
[0053] Assuming that the line segment group 14 contains 24 line segments in this way, the processing steps of line segment twenty - four are as follows.
[0054] The starting point of line segment 24 coincides with point A24 which is superimposed on point B23 in line segment 23.

[0055] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIGS. 1 to 3, the number of line segments included in the line segment group 14 is X, and 30 ≥ X ≥ 10 is satisfied. As can be understood, the number of line segments is related to the size of the draft tube 1, the relative position between the draft tube 1 and the water-cooled jacket 3, and the relative position between the draft tube 1 and the crystal bar 5. By setting the number of line segments between 10 and 30, the requirements for the number in many cases can be satisfied, and the needs of users can be better met. For example, in an example of the present application, the number of line segments included in the line segment group 14 is 10, 12, 14, 16, 18, 20, 22, 24, 26, 28, or 30.
[0056] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, in the axial direction of the crystal bar 5, the distance between one end adjacent to the liquid surface of the first line segment 11 and the liquid surface is L (L shown in FIG. 4), and 50 mm ≥ L ≥ 20 mm is satisfied. As can be understood, the problem that the seed crystal is likely to break when shoulder-ringing can be avoided by setting the distance between one end adjacent to the liquid surface of the first line segment 11 and the liquid surface between 20 and 50 mm, because it can ensure that the temperature gradient at the position of this part does not change and the air flow does not change much either.
[0057] For example, in an example of the present application, the processing process of the crystal bar 5 is as follows. A high-purity polycrystalline silicon raw material is placed in the crucible 4 of the single crystal furnace 100, heated and melted under the protection of a low-vacuum flowing inert gas. One single crystal silicon (also referred to as a seed crystal) having a specific growth direction is placed in the seed crystal gripping device, the seed crystal is brought into contact with the silicon solution, and after adjusting the temperature of the molten silicon solution to approach the melting point temperature, the seed crystal is driven to rotate into the molten silicon solution from top to bottom, and then the seed crystal is gradually pulled up. When the seed crystal enters the growth of the cone part and the diameter of the cone approaches the target diameter, the pulling speed of the seed crystal is increased so that the diameter of the single crystal silicon does not increase further, and it enters the middle growth stage of the crystal. When the growth of the single crystal silicon approaches the end, the pulling speed of the seed crystal is increased again, and the single crystal silicon gradually detaches from the molten silicon to form a lower cone and ends the growth.
[0058] Specifically, in some exemplifications of the present application, in the axial direction of the crystal bar 5, the distance between one end adjacent to the liquid surface of the first straight line segment 11 and the liquid surface is 20 mm, 25 mm, 30 mm, 35 mm, 40 mm, 45 mm, or 50 mm.
[0059] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIGS. 1 and 4, in the radial direction of the furnace body 2 from the inside to the outside, the distance between the bottom surface of the deflector cylinder 1 and the liquid surface gradually decreases, and the angle formed by the bottom surface of the deflector cylinder 1 and the liquid surface is β (β shown in FIG. 4), and 8° ≥ β ≥ 1° is satisfied. As can be understood, the temperature of the free liquid surface of the silicon liquid gradually increases as the distance from the wall of the crucible 4 decreases, and as the temperature difference increases, the Marangoni also increases, accelerating the transport of oxygen from the inner wall of the crucible 4 to the solid-liquid interface and affecting the production quality of the crystal bar 5. In the present application, in the radial direction of the furnace body 2 from the inside to the outside, by gradually decreasing the distance between the bottom surface of the deflector cylinder 1 and the liquid surface, when the argon gas flows through the passage between the bottom surface of the deflector cylinder 1 and the liquid surface, the flow rate of the argon gas is gradually increased, thereby lowering the temperature of the location near the wall of the crucible 4 and weakening the heat convection and oxygen transport.
[0060] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 4, the liquid surface forms the inner peripheral wall of the crucible 4 and the first arc surface 41, and the connection point between the bottom wall of the draft tube 1 and the outer peripheral wall of the draft tube 1 forms a second arc surface 15 that is set parallel to the first arc surface 41. As can be understood, by setting the second arc surface 15 parallel to the first arc surface 41 at the connection point between the bottom wall of the draft tube 1 and the outer peripheral wall of the draft tube 1, the resistance of the flow of argon gas can be reduced, thereby improving the flow rate of argon gas and weakening heat convection and oxygen transport.
[0061] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 1, the liquid surface forms the outer peripheral wall of the crystal bar 5 and the third arc surface 42, and the connection point between the bottom wall of the draft tube 1 and the inner peripheral wall of the draft tube 1 forms a fourth arc surface 16 that is set parallel to the third arc surface 42. As can be understood, by setting the fourth arc surface 16 parallel to the third arc surface 42 at the connection point between the bottom wall of the draft tube 1 and the inner peripheral wall of the draft tube 1, the resistance of the flow of argon gas can be reduced, thereby improving the flow rate of argon gas and being able to deprive more oxygen.
[0062] Hereinafter, the single crystal furnace 100 according to the embodiments of the present application will be described with reference to the drawings.
[0063] As shown in FIG. 1, the single crystal furnace 100 according to the embodiment of the present application includes a furnace body 2, a crucible 4, a water-cooled jacket 3, and a draft tube 1. The crucible 4 is provided in the furnace body 2. The crucible 4 has a storage space, and a crystal bar 5 is formed in the storage space. The draft tube 1 and the water-cooled jacket 3 are both provided in the furnace body 2, and the water-cooled jacket 3 is located above the draft tube 1.
[0064] According to the single crystal furnace 100 according to the embodiment of the present application, by setting the second straight line segment 13, when the heat on the crystal bar 5 is incident on the second straight line segment 13 along the radial direction of the crystal bar 5, since the angle formed by the second straight line segment 13 and the vertical direction is 45° or more, the incident angle of the heat of this part on the second straight line segment 13 is also 45° or more. According to the principle that the reflection angle is equal to the incident angle, at the second straight line segment 13 The reflection direction of the reflected heat and the incident direction of the heatThe angle formed with [it] is 90° or more. Therefore, the heat in this part can be transmitted in a direction parallel to the outer wall surface of the crystal rod 5 or in a direction away from the outer wall surface of the crystal rod 5 after being reflected, and it is possible to avoid the heat in this part being reflected and returning to the crystal rod 5. By setting the line segment group 14, the heat transmitted from the crystal rod 5 to the line segment group 14 can be transmitted to the water-cooled jacket 3 after being reflected by the line segment group 14, and the water-cooled jacket 3 is used to prevent the heat from being transmitted back to the crystal rod 5 conversely. Thus, the cooling of the crystal rod 5 can be accelerated, which is advantageous for reducing the thermal stress in the crystal rod 5, and it is possible to avoid the occurrence of holes and dislocation defects inside the crystal rod 5, and the production quality of the crystal rod 5 can be improved.
[0065] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 5, the water-cooled jacket 3 includes a first connecting portion 31 and a second connecting portion 32. The first connecting portion 31 is provided around the crystal rod 5 and extends in the axial direction of the crystal rod 5. The second connecting portion 32 is connected to one end adjacent to the liquid level of the first connecting portion 31 and extends in the radial direction of the crystal rod 5. As can be understood, the cross-section located on the crystal rod 5 side of the water-cooled jacket 3 is formed in an inverted T shape. With the above design, the width of the lower edge portion of the water-cooled jacket 3 can be increased, and more heat can be blocked by the lower edge portion of the water-cooled jacket 3.
[0066] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 5, the surface of the side of the second connecting portion 32 adjacent to the liquid level is formed into a first curved surface 321 that is concave toward the first connecting portion 31. As can be understood, by setting the bottom surface of the second connecting portion 32 to a curved surface that is concave toward the first connecting portion 31, and since the curved surface has the advantage of having a larger area than a flat surface, more reflected heat can be blocked and absorbed, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the crystal rod 5 can be further improved.
[0067] In some embodiments of the present application, as shown in FIG. 5, the surface of the second connecting portion 32 adjacent to the crystal bar 5 is formed into a second curved surface 322 that is concave in a direction away from the crystal bar 5. As can be understood, setting the surface of the second connecting portion 32 adjacent to the crystal bar 5 to a curved surface that is concave in a direction away from the crystal bar 5 has the advantage that the curved surface has a larger area than a plane, so that more heat radiated from the crystal bar 5 to the second curved surface 322 can be obtained, more heat absorbed by using the water-cooled jacket 3 can be obtained, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the crystal bar 5 can be further improved. Specifically, in another exemplary embodiment of the present application, the surface of the second connecting portion 32 on the side away from the crystal bar 5 is formed into a third curved surface 323 that is concave toward the crystal bar 5. Of course, the present application is not limited thereto, and the surface of the second connecting portion 32 on the side away from the crystal bar 5 may be a plane.

According to the principle that the reflection angle is equal to the incident angle, at the second line segment 13 The reflection direction of the reflected heat and the incident direction of the heatThe angle formed therewith is 90° or more. Therefore, the heat in this portion can be transmitted in a direction parallel to the outer wall surface of the crystal rod 5 or in a direction away from the outer wall surface of the crystal rod 5 after being reflected, and it is possible to avoid the heat in this portion being reflected and returning to the crystal rod 5.
