に吊下されている。 In the figure, 1 is a chamber with an open top and bottom. A crucible 2 made of quartz glass is placed in the chamber 1, and the outer peripheral surface of the crucible 2 is surrounded by a protector 3 made of graphite.
A rotatable support rod 4 inserted from the lower opening of the chamber 1 is connected to the bottom surface of the protector 3. A cylindrical heater 5 is disposed on the outer periphery of the protector 3, and electrodes 6, 6 inserted through the lower opening of the chamber 1 are connected to the heater 5.
are connected. A cylindrical heat-retaining tube 7 is disposed around the outer periphery of the heater 5, and the heat-retaining tube 7 has an inner surface made of graphite material 8 and an outer surface made of a carbon felt portion 9. An upper heat shield 10 and a lower heat shield 11 are disposed at the upper and lower portions of the heat retaining cylinder 7, respectively, to enhance the heat retaining effect. The upper heat shield 10 is made of graphite and has a ring shape as shown in FIGS. 2a and 2b. Further, the lower heat shield 11 has a sandwich structure in which a carbon felt portion 12 is sandwiched between two upper and lower graphite plates 13, 13. Furthermore, a pulling shaft 15 holding a seed crystal 14 at its lower end is rotatably suspended from the upper opening of the chamber 1 .

浸し、引上軸15を引上げることにより行う。 In pulling single crystal silicon by the Czyochoralski method using the conventional single crystal silicon pulling apparatus described above, a silicon raw material is placed in the crucible 2, an inert gas atmosphere such as argon gas is created in the chamber 1, and an electrode 6 is placed in the chamber 1. , 6 to heat the heater 5 to melt the silicon raw material, dip the seed crystal 14 at the lower end of the pulling shaft 15 into the molten silicon 16, and pull up the pulling shaft 15.

熱誘起微小欠陥の原因となる物質が混入するのを
極力防止しなければならない。 Incidentally, the single-crystal silicon used for manufacturing LSIs is a dislocation-free crystal, and in order to increase the yield of devices, it is desirable that thermally induced micro-defects do not occur during the heat treatment process during element formation. Therefore, it is necessary to prevent as much as possible the incorporation of substances that cause dislocations and thermally induced microdefects in single crystal silicon.
ここで、単結晶シリコンの有転位化の原因とな

反応により生成するるSiOである。 Here, the substance that causes dislocations in single-crystal silicon is SiO, which is produced by a reaction between a quartz glass crucible and molten silicon.

このことは、近年の引上げ単結晶の大口径化、長

ている。 However, in the conventional single-crystal silicon pulling apparatus described above, the space between the heat insulating cylinder 7 and the chamber 1 is closed with the upper heat shield 10. Active gas is not properly exhausted. As a result, SiO gas tends to adhere to the upper inner wall of the chamber 1, and falls as SiO powder onto the surface of the molten silicon 16 during the single-crystal silicon pulling operation, which tends to cause dislocations in the single-crystal silicon.
This has become more noticeable as pulled single crystals have tended to have larger diameters and longer lengths in recent years.

発生を抑えるためには、酸素不純物の混入を阻止

である。 In addition, the substances that cause thermally induced microdefects are
Oxygen impurities and carbon impurities contained in crystals during single crystal silicon pulling performed at high temperatures of 1400°C or higher. Normally, oxygen impurities are present in a supersaturated state at a maximum of 3×10 18 atoms/cc (ASTM F121-76
conversion), carbon impurities can reach up to 2 in the supersaturated state.
Contains approximately ×17 17 atoms/cc (ASTM F123-74 conversion). It is believed that thermally induced defects in single crystal silicon are basically caused by the precipitation of supersaturated oxygen. However, it is known that even if the oxygen concentration is quite high, it may be difficult for oxygen to precipitate during heat treatment. This is thought to be because carbon atoms act as nuclei for oxygen precipitates, and when the carbon concentration is low, micro defects are less likely to be induced.
On the other hand, oxygen impurities have the effect of suppressing thermally induced warping of the wafer. Therefore, in order to suppress the occurrence of thermally induced microdefects, it is more effective to prevent the incorporation of carbon impurities than to prevent the incorporation of oxygen impurities.

る。 The above-mentioned carbon impurity in single crystal silicon depends on the amount of CO gas in the atmosphere. This CO gas is mixed with carbon members inside the chamber and O 2 and H 2 O in the atmosphere.
It is produced by the reaction shown below between
2C+O2→2CO

少させるためには、このフエルト部9,12に何
らかの手段を講じる必要がある。 2C+O 2 →2CO C+H 2 O→CO+H 2 These reactions are thought to occur mainly in the regions of the heat insulating cylinder 7 and lower heat shield 11 where the carbon felt portions 9 and 12 are in contact with the atmospheric gas. This is because the spacing between particles of carbon felt is larger than that of graphite, and atmospheric gases containing O 2 , H 2 O, etc. can easily enter the carbon felt.
Therefore, in order to reduce the carbon impurities in the single crystal silicon, it is necessary to take some measures for the felt portions 9 and 12.

うとするものである。 The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and aims to provide a single-crystal silicon pulling device that can improve the yield of single-crystal silicon that is dislocation-free and is less likely to generate thermally induced microdefects during a heat treatment process. It is something.

抑えることができる。 The present inventors adopted a means for allowing atmospheric gas containing SiO gas to flow between the heat-insulating cylinder and the chamber. By doing so, it is possible to prevent SiO gas from adhering to the upper inner wall of the chamber and falling onto the molten silicon surface as SiO powder, thereby improving the yield of dislocation-free crystals. However, if the above-mentioned measures are adopted, the atmospheric gas and the carbon felt part on the outside of the heat insulating cylinder will easily come into contact with each other.
There is a possibility that CO gas generation reaction will occur more easily in the carbon felt part. Therefore, the CO gas production reaction was suppressed by covering the entire felt part, which was conventionally in contact with atmospheric gas, with graphite material. By doing so, the concentration of carbon impurities in single crystal silicon can be reduced, and the generation of thermally induced micro defects can be suppressed.

いる。 In the figure, 17 is a heat-insulating cylinder, and this heat-insulating cylinder 17 has a structure in which the inner and outer surfaces of a carbon felt portion 18 are covered with graphite materials 19 and 20, and the upper and lower ends are also covered with annular graphite materials 21 and 21. It is becoming. A lower heat shield 22 is disposed at the bottom of this heat retaining cylinder 17. The lower heat shield 22 has a disk shape and has holes at the center where the support rod 4 is inserted and at the center where the electrodes 6, 6 are inserted. The lower heat shield 22 has a structure in which a carbon felt portion 23 is surrounded by a graphite plate 24 having holes corresponding to the holes, and a graphite plate 25 is placed on the upper surface of the graphite plate 24. There is. Furthermore, a crown-like ring 26 having a large number of protrusions 26a is disposed between the heat retaining tube 17 and the upper heat shield 10, as shown in FIGS. 4a and 4b.

起微小欠陥の発生を抑制することができる。 According to the single crystal silicon pulling apparatus of the above embodiment, the crown-like ring 26 and the upper heat shield 10 each protrude 2 of the crown-like ring 26.
An opening is formed between 6a and 6a. Atmospheric gas containing SiO gas flows between the heat insulating tube 17 and the chamber 1 through this opening and is effectively exhausted to the outside, so that the amount of SiO gas adhering to the upper inner wall of the chamber 1 is reduced. As a result, the molten silicon 16
SiO powder is less likely to fall, and it is possible to prevent dislocations from forming in the pulled single crystal silicon. Furthermore, by covering the entirety of the felt parts 18 and 23 of the heat insulating tube 17 and the lower heat shield 22 with graphite material, the felt parts 18 and 23 are brought into direct contact with the atmospheric gas containing O 2 , H 2 O, etc. This makes it difficult for the CO gas production reaction to occur. As a result, the oxygen impurity concentration in single crystal silicon is reduced, and the generation of thermally induced micro defects in the heat treatment process can be suppressed.
