The improvement point and effect of the system for reducing the crystal crazing of a drawn silicon core rod according to the present invention will be described in detail below.
First, the heating system and the heat-retaining system in the prior art were originally designed for the purpose of maintaining a suitable temperature gradient in the single crystal furnace apparatus, and the above design facilitates rapid crystallization of the single crystal, i.e., increases in the longitudinal temperature gradient. However, when the silicon core rod crystal 11 is polycrystalline, the above design may result in the silicon core rod crystal 11 being subfissure and not being cut into silicon cores, therefore, the invention enlarges the lower opening of the guide cylinder 4 on the basis of the prior art, and adjusts the heat insulating material 3 arranged inside the guide cylinder 4 from one half (i.e. filled) to one layer, and the height of the heat insulating material 3 is 1/3-4/5 of the height of the guide cylinder 4, the heat insulating material 3 in the embodiment is soft felt, or other heat insulating material, and here is not limited, the above two operations are aimed at reducing the temperature gradient of the silicon core rod crystal and reducing the probability of subfissure of the silicon core rod crystal.
Secondly, a curing felt 11 is annularly arranged in the upper space of a guide cylinder 4 in single crystal furnace equipment in the prior art, the height of the curing felt 11 is flush with the upper edge of a middle furnace cylinder 8 in the single crystal furnace equipment, the heat preservation effect is improved by arranging the curing felt 1 on the guide cylinder 4, and meanwhile, the longitudinal temperature gradient of the silicon core rod crystal is reduced.
Thirdly, when the crystal is pulled in the operation of the single crystal furnace equipment, the pulling speed is reduced at the head (the length is 600mm), the acquisition value of the pulling speed at the time is 0.76mm/min, after the pulling is finished, the operation power of the single crystal furnace equipment is gradually reduced, the distance between the prepared silicon core rod crystal 11 and the preparation liquid level of the silicon core rod crystal is kept between 50 mm and 200mm, and in the actual operation, the common distance range is between 50 mm and 100 mm.
Fourthly, cooling water is led into the side wall of the single crystal furnace equipment, the temperature inside the single crystal furnace equipment is kept stable through the cooling water, the temperature of the cooling water keeps the temperature inside the single crystal furnace equipment to be indirectly stable in the actual production operation, and the temperature of the cooling water also has influence on the temperature gradient inside the single crystal furnace equipment, and the conclusion is drawn through experiments: the temperature of the cooling water is properly increased, the process redundancy is favorably improved, the temperature range of the cooling water in the prior art is 23-27 ℃, the temperature range of the cooling water is 28-36 ℃ through experiments, the efficiency is higher, in actual operation, the temperature range of the cooling water is controlled to be 30-33 ℃, and the temperature prepared at the moment is the optimal temperature.
Fifthly, when the silicon core rod crystal is prepared by the system for reducing the subfissure of the drawn silicon core rod crystal, the diameter of the drawn silicon core rod crystal 11 is 190-205mm, it should be noted that the practical maximum diameter is 205mm in operation due to the limitation of the single crystal furnace equipment, when the device is used in other equipment, the drawn diameter of the crystal may not be limited to 205mm, and the prepared diameter may be longer.
Sixth, compared with the prior art, the device for reducing the silicon core rod crystal subfissure increases the distance between the lower opening position of the guide cylinder 4 and the silicon core rod crystal 11 by 10-20mm compared with the distance in the prior art.
It should be specially noted that, after the six major points are improved, the pulling of the silicon core rod crystal 11 only needs to be seeded into a single crystal, the whole silicon core rod crystal 11 is not limited to a single crystal, the operation difficulty for preparing the silicon core rod crystal is reduced by the side surface, and the operation effectively reduces the problem of the subfissure rate of the silicon core rod crystal.

Firstly, the existing process and single crystal furnace equipment are improved, and the specific improvements are as follows:

(2) the distance between the lower mouth of the guide shell 4 and the silicon core rod is increased by 10-20mm relative to the distance of crystal pulling;
(3) the upper part of an upper heat-insulating barrel 2 of the single crystal furnace equipment is annularly provided with a heat-insulating material 3, wherein the heat-insulating material 3 is a solidified felt 1 and is used for insulating silicon core rod crystals;
(4) adjusting the water inlet temperature of the cooling water in the side wall of the single crystal furnace equipment to 30-32 ℃ from the original 23-27 ℃;
(5) adjusting the pulling speed within 500mm of the head of the silicon core rod crystal from the original 1.1mm/min to 0.76mm/min, separating the tail part from the prepared liquid level of the silicon core rod crystal after being lifted off, keeping the distance between the liquid levels at 50mm, adjusting the power of single crystal furnace equipment to 30Kw, and keeping the power of 30Kw for 30 min;
(6) when the crystal is pulled, the seeding is ensured to be a single crystal, more than half of the seeding is the single crystal, and the others are not required to be the single crystal.
The modification point is removed, and the other operation is performed with reference to the normal single crystal pulling operation.
The operation steps are as follows: the method comprises the steps of furnace cleaning, charging, melting, seeding, isometric, ending, cooling and discharging.

3. The device for reducing the hidden crack of the crystal of the straightened silicon core rod can ensure that the diameter of a new silicon rod drawn by the device can reach 205mm, the diameter is increased by 1/3 compared with the prior art, and the hidden crack is more difficult to control as the diameter of the crystal of the silicon core rod is thicker, so the device can overcome more difficulty.
