Conventionally, core tubes and wafer jigs used in the semiconductor industry are required to have heat resistance such that they are not deformed in a high temperature region of 1000 to 1300 ° C., and heat treatment is performed with an increase in the degree of integration of semiconductors. A slight problem is a slight contamination of wafers by metal impurities, particularly alkali metals, in the process.

In order to meet such demands, a composite tube having a laminated structure has been proposed in which natural quartz glass having excellent heat resistance is used as an outer layer and high-purity synthetic quartz glass having a low content of metal impurities is used as an inner layer. A typical manufacturing method thereof is disclosed in, for example, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 48-92410.

According to the method for producing a composite quartz glass tube having a laminated structure disclosed therein, a quartz glass tube having a laminated structure is formed on the outer surface of a synthetic quartz glass tube by thermally spraying powder of quartz or natural quartz glass. It However, with this method, it is difficult to form a uniform thickness of the thermal-sprayed natural quartz glass layer, and since the synthetic quartz glass tube is used as the substrate, it is easily deformed by heat, and further, the thickness is non-uniform and the outer diameter is small. Due to low accuracy or axial accuracy, it may lead to defective attachment of the tube to the furnace body,
There has been a serious problem that the heat treatment temperature distribution on the surface of the semiconductor wafer becomes non-uniform and it is difficult to perform a uniform heat treatment.

In addition, a method of manufacturing a laminated composite tube in which a synthetic quartz glass having a small diameter is inserted inside a natural quartz glass tube and this is externally heated and integrated is also proposed. However, in this method, a large number of air bubbles remain on the fused surfaces of the fused outer natural quartz glass tube and the inner synthetic quartz glass tube, and these bubbles expand under the heating conditions in use. It is difficult to obtain glass of a certain shape having a predetermined outer diameter and wall thickness due to glass breakage, deformation due to heating during fusion, etc. Therefore, similar to the above, it causes inhomogeneity in heat treatment. There is a problem such as becoming unusable and cannot be industrially adopted.

The inner layer tube used to manufacture the composite quartz glass tube of the present invention is preferably a synthetic quartz glass of the highest possible purity that does not contain impurities that would contaminate the semiconductor wafer during its heat treatment.

A frusto-conical shape with m and a length of about 200 mm is preferably used, and the distance between the poles is about 5 to 15 mm. The rotation speed of the polymerization tube is about 100 to 250 rpm, and its moderate centrifugal force is conveniently used for fusion and integration. Furthermore, the moving speed of the arc part is related to the distance between the electrodes and the power consumption,
Usually, it is about 30 to 100 mm / min. At that time, depending on the viscosity of the inner layer pipe, the inner surface of the inner layer pipe is 1,700 ° C to 2,200 ° C.
It is selectively operated so as to be heated to an appropriate temperature of ° C.

In this fusion and integration operation of the polymerization tubes, an inert gas such as nitrogen or argon may be slowly fed into the inner layer tube. It is also possible to seal one end of the inner layer pipe and feed gas from the other end to maintain the inside of the inner layer pipe in a predetermined pressurized state. As this pressurizing gas, any gas that does not adversely affect the heated quartz glass tube can be used, but normally high-purity nitrogen gas, argon gas, or

In addition, when heat-melting and unifying a polymerization tube, if a vibration with a frequency of 50 Hz or higher is applied to the polymerization quartz glass tube, fusion and integration of both tubes will be promoted, and fine bubbles will be effectively eliminated. Therefore, it is extremely preferable. This vibration may be applied to both pipes, but it is also effective to apply it to only one pipe, especially to the outer layer pipe. Furthermore, the pressure between the superposed pipes is reduced to reduce bubbles on the fusion surface. It is also extremely effective to prevent the remaining.
