The invention provides a method for the preparation of synthetic fused silica glass containing a very small amount of hydroxyl groups and has a high viscosity at high temperatures suitable for use as a material of articles for semiconductor processing at high temperatures, such as a crucible for Czochralski single crystal growing of semiconductor silicon. The method comprises hydrolyzing methyl silicate in a medium containing a specified amount of ammonia as a hydrolysis catalyst to form silica particles which are heat-treated in several successive steps.

A new and improved fused silica radome is discussed. The radome has a density equal to or greater than 95 percent of theoretical density, an average bend strength equal to or greater than 10 Kpsi, a thermal expansion of about 0.3.times.10.sup.-6 .degree. C., a dielectric constant of about 3.8 at X-Band frequencies, a loss tangent of about 0.002 at X-Band frequencies, an average modulus of rupture greater than 10 Kpsi from room temperature to 1000.degree. C., and no crystalline phase present. The radome is made by an arc fusion process in which a quartz powder is placed within a graphite mold, then shaped by centrifugal force as the mold is rotated. An arc is then struck between electrodes within the mold cavity. The quartz powder fuses to form a dense silica radome which is removed from the mold after the fusion occurs.

To make quartz glass crucibles suitable for drawing of single crystal silicon for electronic semiconductor applications, granular crystalline quartz or amorphous quartz glass is introduced into a rotating hollow mold which has gas-pervious wall regions at the side walls and bottom thereof, for example by having bores extending through a metal mold or being made of porous, sintered material. After introducing the raw material, a heat source, such as an electric arc, is introduced into the hollow mold, causing first sintering and then melting of an inner layer; upon introduction of the hollow mold, a vacuum is applied to the outside of the hollow mold, for example between the housing and the mold body, and, during continued rotation, to draw out any included gases and cause melting-together of vacuoles which, otherwise, might form due to included spaces and gases within the granular filling material. The vacuum is maintained during melting and rotation, heating being interrupted when a sufficienty thick inner wall of molten material has been formed, with an adjacent layer of sintered material leaving, however, granular material immediately adjacent the inner walls of the hollow mold to provide for heat insulation of the molten layer with respect to the hollow mold and protect the surface of the mold. The finished crucible can be ejected by introducing compressed air, rather than vacuum, to the outside of the hollow mold. Suitable vacuum is a pressure of less than 5,000 Pa, preferably less than 1,000 Pa.

Hollow cylinders and tubes are made from vitreous silica by placing granular or powdered quartz or silica starting material on a granular bedding layer in a hollow form revolving about its axis and, as the rotation of the hollow form continues, melting by means of an electrical power source, and solidifying the starting material. An electrically heated hollow cylinder of carbonaceous material is disposed in the hollow form and the apertures thereof are hermetically closed with covers after the starting material has been put in. The sealed inner chamber thus formed is slowly evacuated with a vacuum to a pressure ranging from 10 to 0.0001 mm Hg. The starting material is slowly heated to the melting point while sustaining this pressure. After complete melting, the electric power source is shut off and the fused article is cooled while rotation continues. Thereafter, the vacuum pump is shut off and the inner chamber is aired before removing the cover. Lastly, the vitreous silica hollow cylinder which is still at temperatures between room temperature and 1400*C., is removed from the hollow form. Apparatus for making hollow cylinders from vitreous silica via the above-described process includes horizontally disposed, rotatable hollow form means adapted to be hermetically sealed with a cover means having a vacuum connection connected to vacuum means. Crucible means are positioned within the form means and a graphite vacuum baffle means extends into the hollow form means and the crucible means. A filling of refractory thermal insulation material is between the crucible means and the hollow form means.

摘要:
This invention relates to a method of producing a tube from a glass that gives off undesirable vapors when heated in which glass cullet is placed into a horizontally disposed forming tube that is made of a material which is not wetted by the glass and has a lower coefficient of expansion (for instance the forming tube may be made of a borosilicate glass). The cullet is heated to melt the cullet while the forming tube rotates so that it coats the tube. The forming tube is cooled until the glass from the cullet has solidified as a tube. This tube may be used for making fibers in which a rod is subsequently inserted into this tube.
