Description of the Invention: [Technical Field of the Invention] The present invention relates to a single crystal growth apparatus and a single crystal growth method for a semiconductor material. [Prior Art] The Chuckowski method (CZ method) is widely used as a method for growing a germanium single crystal for semiconductors. In particular, the CZ method is excellent in the growth of large-diameter crystals. However, with the progress of mass production, it is desired to increase the crystallization yield more, and from the viewpoint of saving resources and energy saving, it is necessary to increase the crystallization yield of the CZ method which consumes a lot of electric power. For example, 'Patent Document 1 of a bismuth single crystal pulling device and a bismuth single crystal pulling method' describes a single crystal pulling device or a singular crystal pulling method having a high crystallization yield or a high operating rate. A raw material polycrystal supply device is described. Further, Patent Document 2, which is a method for producing a single crystal, describes a method of applying a magnetic field to suppress deterioration of the inner surface of the quartz crucible, prolonging the life of the crucible, and preventing dislocation caused by deterioration of the vane vortex. Further, in Patent Document 3 relating to a method for growing a single crystal and an apparatus for performing the same, a method of maintaining a uniformity in the resistivity by making the interface between the solid layer and the molten layer uniform, and obtaining a single crystal at a high yield is described.

The removal can reliably prevent misalignment or polycrystallization during growth of the single crystal, so that the crystal yield can be improved. Advantageous Effects of Invention According to the present invention, since air, moisture or a hydrocarbon compound remaining in the furnace is removed before the start of single crystal pulling, such a substance which is easily reacted with hydrazine can be easily removed before the dissolution step of hydrazine is achieved. Therefore, the generation of foreign matter such as carbides and oxides which hinder the growth of the single crystal is not changed, and therefore an effect of improving the yield of crystal growth is obtained. Further, in the past, when there is moisture in the carbon parts in the furnace, hydrocarbonization and shape deterioration occur. Further, carbon dioxide is formed by residual oxygen, which may cause a problem of shortening the life of the carbon component. However, according to the present invention, the effect of prolonging the life can be obtained by removing residual gas or residual moisture. Further, since the amount of carbon mixed in the growing crystal can be reduced, the oxygen deposition by the generated carbon can be reduced during the subsequent heat treatment of the wafer process. Further, according to the present invention, since the components in the furnace are not deteriorated, the temporal change of the conventional process conditions can be suppressed, so that the effect of achieving the stability of the quality can be obtained. BEST MODE FOR CARRYING OUT THE INVENTION The best mode for carrying out the invention will be described below on the basis of an embodiment. 200932965 [Embodiment] An embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to Figs. 1 to 4 . Fig. 1 is a model diagram of a single crystal growth apparatus in the present invention. In the drawing, the vacuum chamber 1 is a water-cooled jacket structure, and the heat during heating in the furnace is shielded, and the cooling water is cooled by the cooling water in the water-cooled jacket to form a pipe 2 for processing and cooling. As the ambient gas, an inert gas such as argon gas or helium gas is used. The inert gas system described above is supplied to the furnace via a gas flow meter 3. Conventionally, the inert gas system is supplied at a normal temperature. However, in the present invention, the supplied gas is supplied to the furnace via the gas valve 5 via the temperature rising heat exchanger 4. The main control device manages all the sections of the single crystal pulling step, and in the condition that the inner wall of the drawing preparation step is exposed to the air, instead of the cooling water, the warming heat exchanger 9 is warmed via the warm water valve 7. The warm water is supplied to the water _ cold jacket. The temperature of the warm water is monitored by the thermometer 6, and the warm water is heated to a temperature of 5 ° C or more as compared with the room temperature ratio 〇. After the furnace is turned off to completely replace the air or moisture, once the step of dissolving the polycrystalline material is entered, the cold water valve 8 is opened, and the cooling water is extracted from the cooling water tank 14 by the pump 21 to allow the water to pass to the chamber. Further, in the case where a plurality of circulating water for cooling of the furnace is generally used, the temperature of the cooling water from the furnace which is warmed by the temperature can be reused during the operation of the furnace. The vacuum exhaust of the furnace is evacuated by the vacuum pump 11 through the vacuum exhaust valve 10, but while the crystal is grown while maintaining the reduced pressure state, the true 200932965 air vent valve is used as a pressure regulating valve. The pressure reduction state necessary for the pressure is performed. Valve 12 is used to control the control valve to replace the gas supply. For example, gas replacement with a nitrogen gas in an inert gas can be carried out in place of oxygen retention in the furnace. The cooling water path for cooling the furnace, the tank 14 to the cold water valve 8, the cooling water chamber 1 measured by the thermometer 6, and the cooling water combined piping 2 from the upper chamber to the main to the lower chamber, and then returned to the cooling water tank 1 4 . When the water tank is cooled by 1 liter, it is cooled by a heat exchanger such as a chiller. The furnace is purged from the furnace in which the atmosphere is open or the raw material is fed to the cold water valve 8, and the warm water valve 7 is opened, and warm water of a temperature higher than room temperature is supplied from the pump 22 to the chamber through condensation to allow condensation. Fig. 2 is a preliminary superheating of the heat insulating cylinder in the present invention. In the figure, the heat insulating ring 15 is used to shield the high temperature from the inside of the heating furnace. In the present invention, the preliminary heater 18 is heated by electric power from the zero source in the furnace to promote suction. When the heat insulating ring 15 is a conductive carbon fiber, the insulating material is an insulating material. In the third embodiment, the gas in the single crystal growth apparatus of the present invention is an inert gas, and helium gas or argon gas is used. However, this force is adjusted so that the water or the residual water before the replacement of the body source 13 is passed through the cooling water. Is supplied to the vacuum chamber, and then if the water temperature of the supply 4 is maintained in a certain range, the heat exchanger 9 is turned off, the heat of the model image of the function wall does not occur, and the replacement part of the holder is heated and attached with water. The gas supply is shown in the non-energized body supply path diagram to make the -10-200932965 use case. The argon gas is usually used while gasifying the liquid argon, but the argon gas supplied to the vacuum chamber 1 is supplied from the argon gas valve 19. The argon gas supplied has a dew point of about -8 〇 °c, does not contain water, and the inside of the furnace is placed in the atmosphere to adsorb a certain amount of moisture. Therefore, the supplied argon gas is first heated by the temperature rising heat exchanger 4. It is supplied to the vacuum chamber 1 by the gas valve 5. In the original state, if compared with the conventional method, the amount of substitution of the adsorbed water content is also greatly improved, and 0.01% to 3% of the methanol gas (SiH4) is added from the methane gas valve 20, and the parts are heated by the furnace. The device 18 is heated, and if it is overheated to 100 ° C or higher, the water can be discharged abruptly. Fig. 4 is a flow chart showing the growth of a single crystal in the present invention. In the figure, the automatic control unit of the furnace measures the ambient temperature of each step, and controls so that the temperature of the cooling water flowing into the water-cooled jacket inside the vacuum chamber 1 is not below the ambient temperature. That is, when the temperature of the cooling water is lower than room temperature, dew condensation may occur on the inner wall of the vacuum chamber 1. Therefore, the automatic control unit of the furnace wall is controlled by the temperature rise of the cooling water so as to be higher than the room temperature (STEP-1) 〇 Next, the furnace atmosphere is opened, and the prepared raw materials are put into the next crystal growth. When the crystal growth is completed, the grown crystals are first taken out. Then 'to the furnace to clear the raw material feed operation. Here, the powder or deposit generated during the growth of the crystal is removed from the furnace. Between these operations, a considerable amount of time and the time of entry of the raw materials, the indoor wall is exposed to the atmosphere, and moisture is adsorbed to the chamber wall. Then, the assembly of the furnace was carried out, and at the time of vacuum suction, the moisture adsorption system to the chamber wall quickly became a disadvantage of the specified degree of vacuum. -11- 200932965 ' (STEP-2). Therefore, when the furnace atmosphere is opened, it is necessary to raise the temperature of the chamber wall surface in order to reduce the moisture adsorption. Next, the furnace was assembled to seal the furnace and start vacuum suction. (STEP-3) ° Furthermore, in order to quickly remove the adsorbed moisture from the wall surface of the chamber, the cooling water temperature is further increased. Further, after the inside of the furnace is depressurized, the replacement gas is caused to flow, and the operation of vacuum suction is repeated to increase the replacement rate. Further, a high-temperature replacement gas is supplied to the furnace, and the moisture adsorbed on the surface of the furnace is replaced by a gas, and the vacuum is suctioned to quickly reach the target set vacuum (STEP-4). At the stage where the replacement gas has been carried out, the furnace is ready for the heating step (STEP-5). For example, the preheating of the heat-insulating cylinder of the porous heat insulating material in the furnace is performed. The temperature is raised from 200 ° C to 200 ° C, and the moisture or the residual gas is replaced by a supply of an inert gas or a supply of an inert gas which has been heated. At the point of completion of the replacement of the residual gas, the supply of the inert gas was stopped, and the ultimate vacuum was confirmed by vacuum suction. When the ultimate vacuum is 10E - 4 Torr or less, it is transferred to the crystallization growth process (STEP-6) as if there is no vacuum leakage. Next, the preliminary heating of the parts in the furnace is stopped (STEP-7). The purpose of the preliminary heating device is basically to promote the evaporation of the adsorbate by the temperature rise of the porous furnace heat insulating material, although it is stopped in the single crystal growth process, but it may be used as the case may be. The temperature distribution in the furnace is improved. Next, transfer to the single crystal growth program (STEP-8). In the single crystal growth process, 'the first dissolution of the polycrystalline raw material and the growth of the seed crystal are carried out', and then the single crystal growth step is carried out, and if the single crystal growth process is completed, the cooling step is performed, and the furnace is removed and the crystal is taken out. It becomes a repeat job from the initial state. Vacuum seal maintenance work (STEP-9) is performed when the vacuum step is not performed smoothly. In the case where there is a leak in the vacuum furnace in which the holding state of the vacuum is poor, maintenance work such as exchange of the vacuum sealing material or clamping of the joint portion of the flange is performed. In the case of a very small amount of leakage, since the methane gas (SiHO) which is added to the inert gas reacts with air or moisture and is discharged outside the furnace, the yield of the crystal is effectively improved. In the present invention, the single crystal is improved as described above. Advantages of yield. In the description of the present invention, although the single crystal is described, the method of removing adsorbate such as moisture or oxygen in the present invention is of course applicable to ruthenium polycrystal or other inorganic single crystal/polycrystal. In the manufacturing process, the quality is improved and the yield is improved. In addition to the crystal production, when a film of an inorganic material or an organic material is formed by a vacuum deposition method, a chemical vapor phase growth method, a molecular line epitaxy method or the like, a vacuum is also used. In this case, the present invention can also be used to remove the adsorbed gas or moisture inside the device, thereby effectively improving the quality or improving the yield.
