The embodiments of the present invention provides a diameter controlling system of the single crystal ingot for controlling a diameter deviation of a silicon ingot during the growth of silicon ingot by a Czochralski method, it may include a seed chuck for supporting a silicon ingot combined with a seed crystal and grown; a measuring part connected to an upper surface of the seed chuck with a cable and configured to measure a load applied to the seed chuck; a load adjusting part for moving a position of the seed chuck vertically while the seed chuck is connected to the cable to change a load applied to the silicon ingot; and a controlling part for controlling the load applied to the silicon ingot by driving the load adjusting part according to the load value measured from the measuring part. Therefore, shaking of the seed during the growth process of the single crystal ingot is prevented, and thus the diameter deviation of the growing single crystal ingot may be reduced.

Various single crystals are disclosed including sapphire. The single crystals have desirable geometric properties, including a width not less than about 15 cm and the thickness is not less than about 0.5 cm. The single crystal may also have other features, such as a maximum thickness variation, and as-formed crystals may have a generally symmetrical neck portion, particularly related to the transition from the neck to the main body of the crystal. Methods for forming such crystals and an apparatus for carrying out the methods are disclosed as well. Particularly, a method of forming a single crystal is described, comprising providing a melt in a crucible of a melt fixture, the melt fixture having a die open to the crucible and a plurality of thermal shields overlaying the crucible and the die, the thermal shield having a stepped configuration; and drawing a single crystal from the die. Moreover, a melt fixture is described comprising a crucible; a die open to and extending along a length of the crucible; and a plurality of thermal shields overlaying the crucible and the die, the thermal shield having a stepped configuration.
摘要:
Die hier vorgestellte Erfindung bezieht sich auf eine Kristallzüchtungsanlage. Diese verfügt im Allgemeinen über einen Widerstandsheizer zum Beheizen der Schmelze (13) als auch über Feldspulen (Induktoren), die im Tiegel (11) ein Wechselmagnetfeld erzeugen, mit dem in der Schmelze (13) Ströme induziert werden. Die Erfindung sieht vor, dass der Widerstandsheizer zugleich als Feldspule ausgebildet ist, das heißt, von einem holzylindrischen Körper (1) gebildet wird, bei dem durch einen umlaufenden Schlitz (2) ein spiralförmiger, einlagiger Strompfad gebildet ist. Dies hat den Vorteil, dass der zur elektrischen Beheizung der Anlage benötigte Strom gleichzeitig zur Erzeugung eines magnetischen wanderfeldes benutzt wird. Dadurch sind weder separate Feldspulen noch eine separate Stromversorgung für die Feldspulen erforderlich. Weiterhin ist der auch als Feldspule dienende Widerstandsheizer, der zugleich als Spulenanordnung ausgebildet ist, hochtemperaturbeständig und umgibt unmittelbar die heiße Kernzone der Anlage und damit den Schmelzbereich. Dadurch wird das Volumen, innerhalb dessen das Magnetfeld erzeugt werden muss, minimiert. Weiterhin muss das magnetische Wechselfeld nicht die Kesselwand der Kristallzüchtungsanlage durchdringen, wodurch die Kesselwand in konventioneller weise als Stahlkessel ausgeführt werden kann .
摘要:
The present invention provides a technique which enables production of single crystal silicon having relatively low resistivity by preventing cell growth during crystal growth from occurring, especially in a case where a relatively large amount of dopant is added to a molten silicon raw material. Specifically, the present invention provides a method of producing single crystal silicon by the Czochralski process, comprising producing single crystal silicon having relatively low resistivity by controlling a height of a solid-liquid interface when the single crystal silicon is pulled up.
