    摘要: This invention provides a method and a apparatus capable of manufacturing single crystals with an oxygen density of less than 12×1017 atoms/cm3 or less than 10×1017 atoms/cm3, and wherein the oxygen density of the single crystal produced is uniformly distributed along its longitudinal axis. The electrical power inputted into the main heater 6 surrounding the quartz crucible 4 and the top heater 9 shaped like a reverse frustrated cone and disposed above the quartz crucible 4, is controlled to keep the temperature of the melt 5 in a preset range during the process of pulling up the single crystal silicon 10. When combining the main heater 6 and the top heater 9, the heat emitted from the main heater 6 can be kept small, and the heat load on the quartz crucible 4 and the amount of oxygen released from the quartz crucible 4 and dissloved into melt 5 can be reduced. Therefore, a single crystal of low oxygen density and with uniformly distributed oxygen density along its longitudinal axis can be obtained. Furthermore, the single-crystal silicon 10 can be assigned a proper thermal history. In the above process, if a magnetic field is applied to the melt, then single crystals of much lower oxygen density can be obtained.

    摘要: A crystal-clamping fixture 30 is suspended by a pulling up mechanism 1 through the use of wires. The crystal-clamping fixture 30 includes a box 31 and a plurality of holding rods 32. The box 31 has two openings formed on its top and bottom sides. The reduced portion 2a, the enlarged portion 2b and the necked portion 2c formed beneath the seed crystal 5 are allowed to penetrate through the two openings during the pulling up operation. A plurality of "S" shaped slots 31a, 31b are formed on the lateral sides of the box 31. The holding rods 32 capable of rotating along the path of the "S" shaped slots 31a, 31b are horizontally disposed within the box 31 by inserting their two end portions through the "S" shaped slots 31a, 31b. The holding rods kept restrained at the upper ends of the "S" shaped slots are pushed out by the conic surface formed at the upper part of the enlarged portion 2b and rotate and descend to reach the lower ends of the "S" shaped slots. At the time the crystal-clamping fixture 30 is directed to ascend a small distance, then the holding rods 32 contact the conic surface formed between the enlarged portion 2b and the necked portion 2c to clamp the single crystal 2.

    摘要: This invention provides an apparatus and a method for manufacturing semiconductor single crystals, which enable a steady process of pulling up high-quality single silicon crystals to be easily performed during the growing of silicon single crystals by the CZ method aided by applying a Cusp magnetic field. Three facing homopolar magnets (hereinafter referred to as magnet) 1, 2, and 3 arc disposed outside the single-crystal pulling up chamber. The magnet 3 is located at the same height as the free surface of the melt 6 stored in a quartz crucible as the free surface of the melt 6 stored in a quartz crucible 5. Furthermore, the strength of the magnets 3 is set to be weaker than that of the magnets 1 and 2. The flux lines of the magnets 3 substantially pass through the quartz crucible 5 in the horizontal direction. However, the flux lines of the magnet 3 do not reach the silicon single crystal 7 being pulled up. The flux lines perpendicular to the free surface of the melt 6 and the strength of the magnetic field near the growth boundary of the crystal are reduces. Thus, the amount of oxygen coming from the quartz crucible 5 and convection near the free surface of the melt 6, starting from the quartz crucible 5 toward the silicon single crystal, can be minimized.

    摘要: A method for eliminating slip dislocations in producing single crystal silicon, a seed crystal capable of eliminating the slip dislocations, a single crystal silicon ingot from which the slip dislocations have been eliminated and a single crystal silicon wafer, are disclosed. Single crystal silicon is produced by dipping a seed crystal in a melt and pulling the seed crystal up along the axis of the seed crystal, using a single crystal (1) in which the crystal orientation (10) is inclined at a predetermined angle θ with respect to the axial direction (9) so that the edge direction (8) of the {111} crystal plane is inclined with respect to the axial direction (9). When single crystal silicon is grown while pulling up a seed crystal by the CZ method, a single crystal silicon ingot of a large diameter and a heavy weight can be pulled up by eliminating slip dislocations from the thick crystal.

    摘要: There is described an apparatus for producing a single crystal ingot capable of stably manufacturing a single crystal ingot by means of the Czochralski method, without being affected by influence of variation in extension of wires or an offset in points clamped by a clamping member. The clamping member is engaged with an engagement step formed in a single crystal which is being pulled by the CZ method, and the single crystal is pulled. The single crystal ingot manufacturing apparatus is provided with a flexible mechanism for absorbing variation in extension of the wires, in intermediate portions of the wires. Variation in extension of the wires is eliminated by means of the flexible mechanism, thereby retaining the single crystal in an upright position. Further, a sacrifice member which deforms so as to conform to the circumference of the engagement step is interposed between the clamping member and the engagement step, thereby preventing occurrence of cracking or deformation in the single crystal.
