Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To automatically measure the shape of a work when the work is set on a base by attaching a measuring unit on which sensors are arranged in a state where the sensors are oppositely faced to each other at intervals article the work to a base 4 which holds the work placed on the base and placing a platform scale on a base plate. SOLUTION: A work A is set on the work placing section 301 of a base 3 while a measuring unit 8 is set in a standby state above the base 3. Then a supporting member 7 which supports the unit 8 hung from the member 7 is lowered by operating a vertical guide means 6. The lowest laser type photoelectric sensor 802 of the unit 8 detects the apex of the bottom face of the work A and measures the height of the apex. When the supporting member 7 is completely lowered, the measuring unit 8 is set in a standby state at one end of the member 7 and starts to move when a horizontal moving means 9 is actuated. A linear sensor reads the position of the measuring unit 8 and measures the outside diameter of the work A when the photoelectric sensor 802 is interrupted by the work A. Then the work A is placed on a work receiver 12 on which a platform scale 11 is set by lowering the base 3 and the weight of the work A is measured.

2. Description of the Related Art In the CZ method, a polycrystal is melted in a crucible made of quartz (SiO 2 ) together with active impurities for control.
CZ single crystal silicon is manufactured by gradually pulling up with a seed crystal rod. By the way, a small amount of oxygen enters a single crystal from a quartz crucible that melts a polycrystal. The oxygen concentration in the single crystal plays a very important role in manufacturing an IC. Therefore, in the manufacturing process of the CZ single crystal, the oxygen concentration and the conduction type called P-type / N-type and the electrical resistivity are strictly and finely controlled, and high-purity single-crystal silicon without crystal defects is manufactured. .

[0003] Therefore, after the quartz crucible used in the CZ method is formed, the outer diameter, height, weight, and thickness of the crucible are measured, and the measured values are controlled in the process of manufacturing the single crystal. Thus, the oxygen concentration and the like in the single crystal manufactured by the method are controlled. Therefore, the shape measurement of the quartz crucible required to control the production of the single crystal is performed. Conventionally, the measurement of the outer diameter, the height, and the thickness is manually performed using a tape measure, and the quartz crucible is also measured. The actual condition is that the weight is measured on a scale.

Next, the measurement operation of the work A will be described. First, before setting the work A on the base 3, the measuring unit 8 is made to stand by operating the vertical guide means 6, and then the work A is placed and set on the work placing portion 301 of the base 3. The measurement is started by operating the up-and-down guide means 6 to lower the support member 7 that supports the measurement unit 8 in a hanging manner. When the support member 7 is lowered, the measuring unit 8 is positioned on the center line of the work A, so that the laser type photoelectric sensor 802 at the bottom of the measuring unit 8 detects the top of the bottom surface of the work A. The height of the work A is measured from the position of the sensor. When the support member 7 supporting the measurement unit 8 completes the lowering, the measurement unit 8 moves to a standby position at one end (the right end in FIG. 1) of the support member 7 and moves from that position toward the opposite side of the support member 7. The operation of the horizontal moving means 9 causes the measuring unit 8 to start moving, and measures the outer diameter of the work A. The measurement of the outer diameter is performed when the measuring unit 8 having the laser type photoelectric sensor 802 moves at a constant speed and the photoelectric sensor 802 is blocked by the work A set on the base 3. The outer diameter can be measured by reading the position with a linear sensor. At this time, the measurement unit 8 includes a plurality of photoelectric sensors 80.
2, the outer diameters at a plurality of locations on the work A are measured. Next, the outer diameter of the work A is measured in the same manner as described above by rotating the support member 7 supporting the measurement unit 8 by 90 ° (the position indicated by the two-dot chain line (a) in FIG. 2). When the measurement of the outer diameter is completed, the measurement unit 8 is moved to the standby position of the support member 7. Next, the air cylinder 4 supporting the base 3 is operated to lower the base 3, and the work A is dropped on the work receiver 12 set on the platform scale 11, and the weight is measured. When the measurement of the weight is completed, the air cylinder 4 is operated to raise the base 3, and the work A is received by the work weigher of the platform scale.
Float from 12 and transfer to base 3. Then, the work A is removed from the base 3 to complete the measurement.

According to the quartz crucible shape measuring apparatus of the present invention, the height, outer diameter and weight of the quartz crucible can be automatically determined by simply setting the quartz crucible on the base. Can be measured. Moreover, since the measurement of the height and the outer diameter is performed by a sensor, a highly accurate measured value can be obtained quickly. Accordingly, quartz crucibles also become larger with the recent production of large-diameter wafers, but high-precision measurement can be easily performed by the above-described apparatus. Furthermore, according to the configuration described in claim 2, since the outer diameter of a plurality of locations of the quartz crucible can be measured, the outer shape can be more accurately grasped.
Further, according to the configuration of the third aspect, since the above-described measurement of the outer diameter can be performed from two directions, a highly accurate measured value can be obtained.
