Definitions
- the present invention relates to an apparatus used for pulling a crystal by the Czochralski method, and a method for producing a crystal using the apparatus S.
- the temperature distribution and the heat history of the pulled crystal can be controlled freely.
- the present invention relates to a single crystal production apparatus and a production method capable of improving the production efficiency and quality of a single crystal.
- a graphite susceptor 2 is held substantially at the center of a pulling chamber (a metal chamber 1).
- a quartz crucible 3 is provided, and the bottom center of the graphite susceptor 2 is rotated, and is supported from below by a vertically movable support shaft 4.
- a quartz crucible is filled with polycrystalline silicon as a raw material, which is heated by a graphite heater S surrounded by a heat insulator 5 and melted to form a melt 7.
- a protective gas such as argon gas is introduced from the upper part of the sub-chamber 19 during the crystal pulling, and is discharged from the discharge chamber 15. You. Although the protective gas to be introduced is extremely high in purity, the quartz crucible 3 and the silicon melt 7 react in the pulling chamber, and Sio vapor is generated from the melt surface.
- a carbon material such as graphite susceptor 2, graphite heater 6 and a heat insulator (for example, graphite felt) 5 reacts with the Sio or quartz crucible to generate CO gas. If there is a turbulent flow 13 or 14 between the upper space of the pulling chamber, the single crystal rod 12 to be pulled up, and the periphery of the melt surface, this CO gas will reflux and contact the melt surface, and Increasing the concentration of carbon in the mixture will cause deterioration of the characteristics of the integrated circuit element of the wafer that is more confined than the single crystal rod.
- the pulling speed of the single-crystal rod 12 is governed by the temperature gradient of the single-crystal rod at the solid-liquid interface, and this temperature gradient is determined by the graphite susb, quartz crucible 3, melt surface, etc. Radiated heat and the cooling rate of the crystal.
- the pulling speed is as high as possible.However, when the diameter of the pulling single crystal is large, the latent heat of crystallization is large and the radiation heat is also large. And productivity will drop significantly.
- the single crystallization ratio is reduced, and the yield is significantly reduced.
- oxidation induced stacking faults (Oxidation Induced Stacked Faucet) are formed on the substrate plane in the thermal oxidation process.
- OSF oxidation induced stacking faults
- Swirl Defect swirl defect
- other minute defects are likely to be formed, deteriorating the characteristics of the Xiaozi circuit element.
- the demands on the quality of semiconductor crystals have become severer, and higher purity, lower defects, and uniformity of crystals have been demanded.
- this is a device that partially covers the rupe 3 and the melt 7 in the rupee, and includes an upper flat rim 30 protruding from a side of the crucible 3, It consists of a connecting part 31 attached to the present rim, which is simply inclined downward or conically tapered downward from the inside ⁇ , and the inner part of the connecting part has a depth of the crucible.
- a device on a single crystal bow I characterized by providing a member which is 0.1 to 1.2 times as large as the above.
- a circle ⁇ 19 is provided to coaxially surround the pulling single crystal rod 12, one end of which is hermetically connected to the opening edge at the center of the pulling room ceiling, and the other end of which is quartz.
- An apparatus for manufacturing a single crystal rod comprising: a collar 20 which hangs down toward the surface of a melt 7 in a crucible 3 and is folded outward and upward to expand. These have a certain effect in improving the pulling speed, preventing the S i 0 precipitate from dropping into the silicon melt, suppressing 0 SF, and the like. In recent years, the crystal size has grown even larger in recent years (more than 8 " ⁇ for silicon), and it is impossible to keep up with the advancement of quality.
- the cover of the device is made of relatively thin metal. It is not suitable for pulling large crystals, such as 8 "or more, because it has a low radiant heat blocking effect.
- the internal height of the conical tapered connecting part 31 arranged around the crystal The temperature distribution and heat history of the crystal must be controlled since the mist radiation is directly emitted to the water-cooled metal champ after the crystal has passed the connecting part 31 during the pulling process because the crystal is short. The turbulence 14 of the gas is generated due to the large space above the pulling room, causing various adverse effects.
- a circle ⁇ 19 is provided to coaxially surround the pulling single crystal rod, one end of which is air-tightly connected to the center of the pulling room ceiling, and the other end is fused in the quartz crucible. Since it has a collar 20 that hangs down toward the surface of the liquid 7 and is folded back outward and upward, the rectifying action of gas and the heat retention or cooling effect of the crystal are comparable to those of 1. Although it is revised, the color 20 is relatively small and made of thin material. In recent years, the pulling up of large-sized crystals has an insufficient radiation heat blocking effect. In addition, although the thermal history of the crystal can be adjusted to some extent by adjusting the color spreading angle ⁇ , the adjustable range is narrow, and all the various crystal qualities required recently are satisfied.
- the present invention has been made under such a background, and has a sufficient heat shielding effect even if the diameter of the single crystal on the bow I is large, without lowering the pulling speed, and Provide a crystal manufacturing apparatus and a manufacturing method that can uniformly control the temperature at the entire solid-liquid interface, do not reduce the single crystallization rate, and can easily and accurately control the crystal heat history and the temperature distribution of the crystal.

- the present invention has a circle ⁇ coaxially surrounding a pulling single crystal rod whose upper end is air-tightly connected to the ceiling of the pulling chamber and whose lower end is close to the surface of the melt in the crucible. Therefore, the rectifying action of the protective gas is high and turbulence does not occur. Therefore, the problem of crystal dislocation due to the precipitation of SiO powder and the problem of contamination due to the reflux of C 0 gas do not occur, and the temperature of the crystal is kept at the upper part of the pulling chamber by adjusting the shape, material, protective gas, etc. Can be cooled.
- the crystal pulling speed, the dislocation of the large-mouthed crystal, and the crystal quality due to the thermal history are determined by the pulling upward from the solid-liquid interface and the melt that follows. Since the temperature is greatly affected by the temperature gradient and the uniformity at the height of the semi-crystal, the present invention encloses at the lower end of the circle ⁇ the crystal surface, the inner wall of the quartz ruppo, and the surface of the melt.
- a large heat shield that occupies 30 to 95% by volume of a space having a height equivalent to the radius of the pulling crystal upward from the liquid is installed.

On the other hand, since various materials can be inserted into the inner hollow portion protected by the extermination in this manner, carbon fiber, glass fiber, etc.
- a high-melting point metal such as tungsten, niobium, tantalum, or molybdenum can be used, or a heat shield having various thermal conductivities can be manufactured while remaining hollow.
- the shortest distance between either the cylinder or the heat shield and the melt surface, crystal, or crucible inner wall is 5 to 50 mm, 5 to: I 50 mm, 5 to 150 mm, respectively.
- the single crystal rod will cause a slight eccentric movement during pulling, or if the diameter control error s occurs, the crystal will come into contact with the inner wall of the cylinder, or the melt surface If the quartz crucible is deformed under high temperature or high temperature, the circle or the heat shield and the melt or quartz crucible come into contact with each other, and it is impossible to pull up the crystal after that. Also, if these intervals are too narrow, the gas flow becomes non-uniform, and the linear velocity of the gas is too high, causing eccentric motion of the crystal and causing vibration of the melt surface, causing the presence of the crystal. It causes dislocation.
- the heat shielding effect on the single crystal portion immediately after solidification becomes insufficient, and it is difficult to achieve the desired purpose of adjusting the temperature distribution of the crystal.

- the temperature of the single crystal rod during pulling is mainly determined by the heat conduction from the solid-liquid interface, the radiant heat from the melt surface and the crucible. Since heat conduction from the solid-liquid interface cannot be avoided and cannot be controlled, the temperature distribution of the crystal is ultimately determined by how much the train heat can be controlled.
- the heat shield 25 of the present invention is surrounded by the crystal surface, the inner wall of the quartz crucible, and the melt surface, and is pulled upward from the melt to have a height corresponding to the radius of the crystal.

- the heat shield 25 The heat from the melt surface is absorbed by the heat shield 25, and the temperature of the contact point between the inner wall of the quartz crucible and the surface of the melt 7 decreases due to the radiation of the heat shield itself. No solidification occurred from the inner wall of the quartz root.
- the heat shield effect of the heat shield 25 can be changed depending on its size, shape, material and the like. Therefore, when it is necessary to change the temperature distribution of the crystal, the heat shield 25 is detachably attached to the circle 19 because it is better to replace it with one having a different shielding effect.
- the two may be connected by a general method such as screwing or fitting.
- FIGS. 2 (a) to (f) There are various structures of the heat shield 25, and specific examples are shown in FIGS. 2 (a) to (f). Although the entire heat shield 25 may be made of the same material, the heat shield effect can be adjusted only by the overall shape and size, and the heat shield itself must be replaced each time.
