Description

一种组合式坩埚及利用该坩埚的单晶炉Combined crucible and single crystal furnace using the same 技术领域Technical Field
本发明属于单晶硅或多晶硅制造技术领域,特别是涉及一种组合式坩埚以及使用该组合式坩埚的单晶炉。The invention belongs to the technical field of single crystal silicon or polycrystalline silicon manufacturing, and in particular relates to a combined crucible and a single crystal furnace using the combined crucible.
背景技术Background technique
单晶炉是一种在惰性气体环境中,用石墨加热器将多晶硅等多晶材料融化,用直拉法生长无错位单晶的设备。拉晶是指熔融的单质硅在凝固时硅原子以金刚石晶格排列成许多晶核,如果这些晶核长成晶面取向相同的晶粒并平行结合起来便结晶成单晶硅。A single crystal furnace is a device that uses a graphite heater to melt polycrystalline materials such as polycrystalline silicon in an inert gas environment and grows single crystals without dislocation using the Czochralski method. Crystal pulling refers to the process in which the silicon atoms of molten silicon are arranged into many crystal nuclei in a diamond lattice when they solidify. If these crystal nuclei grow into grains with the same crystal plane orientation and combine in parallel, they will crystallize into single crystal silicon.
现有的单晶炉中的坩埚结构是在石英坩埚外包裹石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚,加热器直接加热该石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚使石英坩埚内的硅融化,这一过程中,硅融化后在石英坩埚内会产生大量的一氧化硅,挥发出的一氧化硅被氩气流带到炉体的下方,从排气管排出。一氧化硅流经石墨件时,如石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚、加热器、保温筒等,会与之发生反应生成碳化硅。每次产生的碳化硅经清炉吸除后,无论是石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚还是加热器其原有的厚度都不可避免的减薄了,使用寿命将会不可避免的大大缩减。另外,在单晶炉中使用直拉法制造单晶硅的过程中,由于石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚与包裹的石英坩埚的膨胀系数不同,可能还会导致石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚的龟裂问题。在出现一定程度的龟裂以及内壁腐蚀后,会造成石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚的报废。随着单晶硅生长的晶体直径越来越粗,相应的单晶炉的直径也越做越大,对于热场的可靠性要求也越来越高,对应地,石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚壁厚增大、重量增加,进而要求加热器加大功率提高加热温度以达到石英坩埚内硅液热熔温度的要求,这都导致耗能增加以及石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚的制造成本提升。为此专利号为200910118210.X公开了一种中空网状体的石英坩埚保持件,其加入了粘结剂、高温碳化、气相沉积的加工步骤,其直接套设于石英坩埚的外部并对石英坩埚进行保持,但是其仍然没有解决对应的自身坩埚保持件本体易被腐蚀的问题,一经腐蚀后便可造成保持件整体的报废,使用成本依旧很高。 The crucible structure in the existing single crystal furnace is to wrap a graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible outside a quartz crucible, and the heater directly heats the graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible to melt the silicon in the quartz crucible. In this process, a large amount of silicon monoxide will be produced in the quartz crucible after the silicon melts. The volatilized silicon monoxide is carried to the bottom of the furnace body by the argon flow and discharged from the exhaust pipe. When silicon monoxide flows through graphite parts, such as graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucibles, heaters, insulation tubes, etc., it will react with them to form silicon carbide. After each generation of silicon carbide is removed by furnace cleaning, the original thickness of the graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible or the heater will inevitably be thinned, and the service life will inevitably be greatly reduced. In addition, in the process of using the Czochralski method to manufacture single crystal silicon in a single crystal furnace, due to the different expansion coefficients of the graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible and the wrapped quartz crucible, it may also cause cracking problems in the graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible. After a certain degree of cracking and inner wall corrosion, the graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible will be scrapped. As the diameter of the crystals of single crystal silicon grows thicker and thicker, the diameter of the corresponding single crystal furnace is also getting larger and larger, and the reliability requirements for the thermal field are also getting higher and higher. Correspondingly, the wall thickness and weight of the graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucibles increase, and the heater is required to increase the power and increase the heating temperature to meet the requirements of the hot melting temperature of the silicon liquid in the quartz crucible, which leads to increased energy consumption and increased manufacturing costs of graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucibles. For this reason, patent No. 200910118210.X discloses a hollow mesh quartz crucible holder, which is added with a binder, high-temperature carbonization, and vapor deposition processing steps. It is directly sleeved on the outside of the quartz crucible and holds the quartz crucible, but it still does not solve the problem that the corresponding crucible holder body is easily corroded.

(1)本技术方案将坩埚分为内坩埚和网状坩埚两层式结构,采用在包裹石英坩埚的石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚外部套设网状坩埚,该网状坩埚是由碳纤维绳编织形成的对石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚进行兜覆的中空网状体,其内表面与石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚的外壁相贴合;该网状坩埚能够时刻保持石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚的结构稳定性,使选择比现有壁厚更薄的石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚成为可能,薄壁石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚和包裹其的外网状坩埚形成的组合坩埚的强度与原厚壁单层 石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚相比没有下降;(1) The technical solution divides the crucible into a two-layer structure of an inner crucible and a mesh crucible, and adopts a mesh crucible that is sleeved on the outside of a graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible that wraps a quartz crucible. The mesh crucible is a hollow mesh body formed by weaving carbon fiber ropes to cover the graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible, and its inner surface fits the outer wall of the graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible; the mesh crucible can always maintain the structural stability of the graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible, making it possible to select a graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible with a thinner wall thickness than the existing one. The strength of the combined crucible formed by the thin-walled graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible and the outer mesh crucible wrapping it is comparable to that of the original thick-walled single-layer There is no decrease compared to graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucibles;
(2)本技术方案采用内坩埚和网状坩埚两层式结构,在内坩埚被腐蚀导致内径变大或者由于热膨胀导致龟裂后,只需对内坩埚进行更换,网状坩埚可重复使用,相对于原厚壁单层石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚,更换成本更低;(2) The technical solution adopts a two-layer structure of an inner crucible and a mesh crucible. When the inner crucible is corroded and the inner diameter becomes larger or cracks due to thermal expansion, only the inner crucible needs to be replaced, and the mesh crucible can be reused. Compared with the original thick-walled single-layer graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible, the replacement cost is lower;
(3)本技术方案采用内坩埚和网状坩埚两层式结构其内坩埚相对于原有的厚壁单层坩埚壁厚降低,且网状坩埚是镂空形式,总体热传导效率变高,加热和冷却时间大大缩短,不仅对于加热器所需的功率要求更低,还可以提升拉晶效率;(3) The technical solution adopts a two-layer structure of an inner crucible and a mesh crucible. The inner crucible has a thinner wall than the original thick-walled single-layer crucible, and the mesh crucible is hollow. The overall heat conduction efficiency is improved, and the heating and cooling time is greatly shortened.

When the inner crucible can adopt a split crucible structure, such as a three-petal or multi-petal crucible, it can not only effectively reduce the impact of thermal expansion, but also has a good overall retention effect.
(6)本技术方案的内坩埚和网状坩埚组成的两层式结构,两层之间采用网兜限位结构或通过石墨胶相粘接,其中网兜限位结构具体包括设置于内坩埚外表面的凸起挂住网状坩埚或利用设置于内坩埚外表面的台阶结构卡接住网状坩埚,凸起和台阶结构样式简单,能够使网状坩埚很好的与内坩埚相结合,安装拆卸简单便捷。(6) The two-layer structure composed of the inner crucible and the mesh crucible of the technical solution is a mesh bag limiting structure or bonding the two layers by graphite glue, wherein the mesh bag limiting structure specifically includes a protrusion arranged on the outer surface of the inner crucible to hang the mesh crucible or a step structure arranged on the outer surface of the inner crucible to clamp the mesh crucible.

具体实施方式Detailed ways
下面将结合本发明实施例中的附图,对本发明实施例中的技术方案进行清楚、完整地描述,显然,所描述的实施例仅仅是本发明一部分实施例,而不是全部的实施例。基于本发明中的实施例,本领域普通技术人员在没有作出创造性劳动前提下所获得的所有其它实施例,都属于本发明保护的范围。The following will be combined with the drawings in the embodiments of the present invention to clearly and completely describe the technical solutions in the embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the described embodiments are only part of the embodiments of the present invention, not all of the embodiments. Based on the embodiments of the present invention, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without creative work are within the scope of protection of the present invention.
在本发明的描述中,需要理解的是,术语“间隙”、“内表面”、“外表面”、“顶部”、“底部”等指示方位或位置关系,仅是为了便于描述本发明和简化描述,而不是指示或暗示所指的组件或元件必须具有特定的方位,以特定的方位构造和操作,因此不能理解为对本发明的限制。In the description of the present invention, it is necessary to understand that the terms "gap", "inner surface", "outer surface", "top", "bottom" and the like indicating orientation or positional relationship are only for the convenience of describing the present invention and simplifying the description, and do not indicate or imply that the components or elements referred to must have a specific orientation, be constructed and operate in a specific orientation, and therefore should not be understood as limiting the present invention.
如图20所示,为现有的采用石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚的单晶炉的内部结构示 意图,由图中可以看到其采用的是壁厚较厚且质量较重的单层整体式的石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚包裹于石英坩埚外部,因为石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚与石英坩埚之间热膨胀系数不一致,会导致石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚的龟裂,加之长期使用过程中,一氧化硅对石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚与石英坩埚接触面的腐蚀,会导致整个石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚内表面的进一步腐蚀,内径扩大,直至报废,使用成本高;另外,由于石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚厚度大,对石英坩埚内的硅进行加热需要使用较高的热量,导致对加热器的功率要求较高,能耗成本高。As shown in FIG. 20 , the internal structure of a single crystal furnace using a graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible is shown. As can be seen from the figure, a single-layer integral graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible with thicker walls and heavier mass is used to wrap the outside of the quartz crucible. Because the thermal expansion coefficients of the graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible and the quartz crucible are inconsistent, the graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible will crack. In addition, during long-term use, the corrosion of the contact surface between the graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible and the quartz crucible by silicon monoxide will cause further corrosion of the inner surface of the entire graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible, and the inner diameter will expand until it is scrapped, with high cost of use. In addition, due to the large thickness of the graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible, a higher amount of heat is required to heat the silicon in the quartz crucible, resulting in a higher power requirement for the heater and high energy consumption cost.
请参阅图1-18所示,本发明的一种组合式坩埚,包括套设于石英坩埚外部的内坩埚1以及用于对内坩埚1进行兜覆的网状坩埚2,内坩埚1采用石墨坩埚、碳碳坩埚或陶瓷坩埚;上述网状坩埚2与内坩埚1之间采用网兜限位结构或通过石墨胶相粘接;网兜限位结构包括利用设置于内坩埚1外表面的凸起101挂住网状坩埚2或利用设置于内坩埚1外表面的台阶结构A卡接住网状坩埚2;Please refer to FIG. 1-18 , a combined crucible of the present invention comprises an inner crucible 1 sleeved on the outside of a quartz crucible and a mesh crucible 2 for covering the inner crucible 1, wherein the inner crucible 1 is made of graphite crucible, carbon-carbon crucible or ceramic crucible; a mesh bag limiting structure is used between the mesh crucible 2 and the inner crucible 1 or the mesh crucible 2 is bonded with graphite glue; the mesh bag limiting structure comprises a protrusion 101 provided on the outer surface of the inner crucible 1 to hang the mesh crucible 2 or a step structure A provided on the outer surface of the inner crucible 1 to clamp the mesh crucible 2;
内坩埚1采用整体式坩埚或分体式坩埚,分体式坩埚包括多瓣式坩埚;本技术方案中的内坩埚1无需采用壁厚较厚的石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚,相对于现有的石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚的壁厚为20mm,本技术方案中的内坩埚1的厚度可采用5mm、8mm或10mm,在具体厚度上大大减小,并带来重量及制造成本的降低。The inner crucible 1 adopts an integral crucible or a split crucible, and the split crucible includes a multi-petal crucible. The inner crucible 1 in the present technical solution does not need to adopt a graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible with a thicker wall thickness. Compared with the existing graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucibles with a wall thickness of 20 mm, the thickness of the inner crucible 1 in the present technical solution can be 5 mm, 8 mm or 10 mm, which greatly reduces the specific thickness and brings about a reduction in weight and manufacturing cost.

Compared with the six use cycles of ordinary graphite crucibles or carbon-carbon crucibles of the same size and thickness, one cycle is 400 hours, which adds 2 more use cycles, greatly improving the service life of the crucible and saving costs. Compared with the ordinary monolithic graphite crucible of the same thickness of 15mm and size of 36 inches, the present technical solution adopts a 13mm thick graphite inner crucible 1 and a 2mm thick mesh crucible 2. The inner diameter of the inner crucible 1 of the present technical solution is 951mm before crystal pulling, and expands to 953mm after the crystal pulling is completed, while the inner diameter of the ordinary monolithic graphite inner crucible 1 is 951mm before crystal pulling, and expands to 954mm after the crystal pulling is completed.

具体实施例7:Specific embodiment 7:
如图11-12所示,本具体实施例相对于具体实施例1-6任一项的区别在于,内坩埚1采用分体式坩埚,具体为三瓣式坩埚,且该内坩埚1与网状坩埚2相接触的面上涂覆有石墨胶使形成整体;本具体实施例中仅列举了三瓣式的石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚,当然多瓣式坩埚仍然属于本技术方案的保护范围。As shown in Figures 11-12, the difference between this specific embodiment and any one of specific embodiments 1-6 is that the inner crucible 1 adopts a split crucible, specifically a three-petal crucible, and the surface of the inner crucible 1 in contact with the mesh crucible 2 is coated with graphite glue to form a whole; this specific embodiment only lists three-petal graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucibles, and of course multi-petal crucibles still fall within the protection scope of this technical solution.
本技术方案采用在包裹石英坩埚的石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚外部套设网状坩埚,该网状坩埚是由碳纤维绳编织形成的对石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚进行兜覆的中空网状体,内表面与石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚的外壁相贴合。包裹石英坩埚的坩埚通过选用两层结构,不仅发挥了编织的网状结构能够时刻保持石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚的结构稳定性的优点,还使选择比现有壁厚更薄的石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚成为可能,薄壁石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚和包裹其外的网状坩埚形成的组合坩埚的强度与原厚壁石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚相比没有下降;在该石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚被腐蚀导致内径变大或者由于热膨胀导致龟裂后,只需要对内坩埚进行更换,网状坩埚 可重复使用,相对于原厚壁石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚,其更换成本更低;且由于石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚厚度降低,且网状坩埚是镂空形式,总体热传导效率更高,加热和冷却时间大大缩短,不仅对于加热器所需的功率要求更低,还可以提升拉晶效率,采用网状坩埚能够使石墨、碳碳或陶瓷坩埚需要更换时便于脱离;采用网状坩埚对内坩埚进行兜覆支撑的组合结构,当内坩埚采用分体式坩埚结构时,如三瓣式或多瓣式坩埚,不仅可以有效降低热膨胀带来的影响,且具有良好的整体保持效果。The technical solution adopts a mesh crucible sleeved on the outside of the graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible that wraps the quartz crucible. The mesh crucible is a hollow mesh body formed by weaving carbon fiber ropes to cover the graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible, and the inner surface is in contact with the outer wall of the graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible. The crucible that wraps the quartz crucible adopts a two-layer structure, which not only takes advantage of the woven mesh structure to always maintain the structural stability of the graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible, but also makes it possible to choose a graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible with a thinner wall thickness than the existing one. The strength of the combined crucible formed by the thin-walled graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible and the mesh crucible that wraps it is not reduced compared with the original thick-walled graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible; after the graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible is corroded to increase its inner diameter or cracks due to thermal expansion, only the inner crucible needs to be replaced, and the mesh crucible can be replaced. It is reusable and has a lower replacement cost than the original thick-walled graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible. Since the thickness of the graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible is reduced and the mesh crucible is hollow, the overall heat conduction efficiency is higher and the heating and cooling time is greatly shortened, which not only reduces the power requirement for the heater but also improves the crystal pulling efficiency. The use of a mesh crucible can facilitate the detachment of the graphite, carbon-carbon or ceramic crucible when it needs to be replaced. The mesh crucible is used to cover and support the inner crucible. When the inner crucible adopts a split crucible structure, such as a three-petal or multi-petal crucible, it can not only effectively reduce the impact of thermal expansion, but also has a good overall retention effect.
