    摘要: A method and an apparatus for pulling a single crystal are disclosed. A first neck portion, a convex portion, and a second neck portion are formed in this order under a seed crystal held by a seed chuck, and subsequent to the second neck portion, a single crystal having a diameter-expanding portion and a straight cylindrical portion is formed. Lifting holders are brought around and in proximity to the second neck portion when the second neck portion rises to a predetermined position during the pulling by the seed chuck. The single crystal and the lifting holders are moved relative to each other in the vertical direction to thereby bring the convex portion into contact with the lifting holders in a resting manner, so that part of a load borne by the seed chuck is shifted to the lifting holders. Subsequently, the pulling operation is performed by the lifting holders. Accordingly, a single crystal having a larger weight can be pulled safely while maintaining high quality.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for growing and manufacturing a single crystal according to a so-called Czochralski (CZ) method. A seed crystal 12 is connected to a tip end of a wire 41a as a hanging member 41 to pull and form a single crystal part 15, arm-shaped members 44a of a lifting jig 44 are engaged in a recess 16 of a corrugated portion 14 formed on the single crystal part 15 during the pulling operation, the pulling speeds of both of the arm-shaped members 44a and wire 41a are synchronously controlled to provide smooth transfer between the arm-shaped members 44a and wire 41a, whereby the single crystal part 15 is pulled always at a constant pulling speed. In particular, a heavy-weight single crystal can be safely pulled and formed without any dislocation therein while minimizing an impact force applied to the crystal.

    摘要: In a crystal holding apparatus, a corrugated portion between a seed crystal and a straight cylindrical portion of a crystal is held by a lifting jig during a single-crystal growing process wherein the seed crystal is brought into contact with a material melt and is subsequently pulled while being rotated. The tip end portion of the lifting jig includes a swinging portion having a short stroke which swings to hold or release the corrugated portion. A lock mechanism is also provided in order to swing the swinging portion for opening/closing operation and to lock the swinging portion. Accordingly, it is possible to reliably hold the corrugated portion of a crystal while the crystal is pulled in accordance with the CZ method, for example.
