    摘要: A control system for controlling the operation of an apparatus for growing tubular crystalline bodies. The control system comprises a weight sensor for measuring the weight of the crystal, a length sensor for measuring the length of the crystal, a pressure sensor for measuring the pressure inside the crystal, and a controller coupled to the weight, length and pressure sensors for controlling the operation of the crystal growing apparatus. The controller is coupled to the die heater of the apparatus for controlling the temperature of melt contained in the crucible of the apparatus based on the outputs of the weight, length and pressure sensors. To ensure the wall of the tubular crystalline body is maintained at a substantially uniform thickness, precise measurement of the weight of the body must be made. Compensation is provided by this invention for weight measurement errors that are created by pressure fluctations within the tubular crystalline body.

    摘要: Diameter control in an apparatus and method for growing crystals using the Czochralski technique is accomplished by progressively measuring both the temperature of the melt by a heat sensor and the weight of the residue of the melt in the crucible by a suitable weighing device. The weight measurement data is fed to microprocessor having a control algorithm. The microprocessor output and temperature measurement output are fed to a three-term temperature controller which regulates the temperature of the melt to thereby control automatically the diameter of the crystal. The relationship between an error in weight and the amount of temperature regulation is varied in accordance with a desired weight.

    摘要: The invention provides a method and an apparatus for manufacturing single crystals wherein the weight of the single crystal pulled is measured by a weight detector. The measured weight is compared with a reference weight signal which is generated from a reference weight signal generator. A weight deviation signal representing a difference between these two signals is generated by a weight deviation detector. The weight deviation signal is differentiated by a first differentiation circuit and a differentiation output signal obtained is corrected for compensation for the buoyancy of the liquid encapsulant by a signal which is generated by a buoyancy correction signal generator. A corrected signal thus obtained is differentiated by a second differentiation circuit and is thereafter added to the corrected signal. The addition result is phase-compensated by a phase-compensating circuit. The phase-compensated signal is supplied to a heating control circuit. At the same time, the heating control circuit generates a heating control signal to a heating device in response to a program signal which is generated from a program signal generator. In response to the output signal from the heating device, a heater which controls the temperature of the melt held in a vessel and which is arranged outside the vessel is heated according to the program.

    摘要: The Czochralski growth of a crystal may be automatically controlled to provide uniform crystal cross-sectional area by weighing the crucible containing the melt from which the crystal is grown and deriving a weight signal which is compared with its expected value to produce a feedback loop control signal to control the melt heater power. However a magnetic field will be associated with the melt heater current and the interaction of this field on the crucible can produce a levitation force which is recorded erroneously as part of the weight signal. This unwanted force can make the closed-loop control unstable. The error component in the weight signal is cancelled in the invention by deriving an equal and opposite component by monitoring the current supplied to the melt heater and adding the derived component to the weight signal in the feedback loop.

    摘要: Apparatus for controlling the diameter of a crystal pulled from a semiconductor melt in a crucible including a float which has a shape substantially similar to the crystal and which is pulled from a liquid filled tub in synchronism with the pulling up of the crystal, and an electronic circuit for comparing the weight of the float with the weight of the crystal during the pull up operation. The rate at which the crystal is pulled up and the temperature of the crucible are controlled as a function of the relative weights of the float and the crystal as they are being pulled up.

    摘要: Disclosed is a continuous ingot growing apparatus. The continuous ingot growing apparatus according to the present invention may include a growth furnace in which a main crucible is positioned, wherein the main crucible accommodates molten-state silicon to grow an ingot, a material supply unit which supplies a solid-state silicon material before being melted into molten-state silicon, a quantitative supply unit which measures an amount of the solid-state silicon material supplied from the material supply unit and supplies a predetermined amount of the solid-state silicon material, and a preliminary melting unit which melts the predetermined amount of the solid-state silicon material supplied from the quantitative supply unit and supplies molten-state silicon to the main crucible. Since the solid silicon material such as polysilicon is supplied to the main crucible in a state in which the solid silicon material is completely melted outside the main crucible in which the ingot is grown, there is no need to form a partition in the main crucible, and thus the size of the main crucible may be reduced to reduce the manufacturing costs of the apparatus. In addition, since the main crucible is formed as one region, there is an effect of improving the ease of temperature control in the main crucible.

    摘要: When pulling and growing a single crystal from a raw material melt by the Czochralski method, a boundary between the single crystal and the raw material melt is imaged by an optical sensor, and also the weight of the single crystal is measured by a weight sensor, a diameter value of the single crystal is calculated on the basis of first measured values of the diameter of the single crystal derived from image data captured by the optical sensor and second measured values of the diameter of the single crystal derived from weight data captured by the weight sensor, and a pulling rate of the single crystal and the temperature of the raw material melt are adjusted on the basis of the calculated diameter value to thereby control the diameter of the single crystal, and thus it is possible to accurately measure the diameter of a growing single crystal.
