    摘要: An apparatus for measuring the diameter of a crystal in which an optical sensor scans along a sensing line which crosses at one point a luminous ring formed at the interface between a crystalline rod and a melt; the picture element position corresponding to a maximum luminance is discriminated when the optical sensor scans; the mean value of the picture element position is calculated over at least one revolution of the crystalline rod; and the diameter D of the crystalline rod at a portion thereof interfacing with the melt is calculated from the mean value and the level of the melt. Similarly, the minimum crystal diameter can be calculated by obtaining the picture element position corresponding to the minimum crystal diameter instead of obtaining the mean of the picture element position.

    摘要: Disclosed is a method of controlling the diameter of a single crystal produced by the Czochralski method. The diameter of a tapered portion of the single crystal is controlled by controlling the temperature of a melt in a crucible and the rotational speed of the crucible. The control range of the rotational speed of the crucible is made narrower as the diameter of the tapered portion approaches closer to that of a body portion, and the rotational speed is made constant while the body portion is grown.

    摘要: A melt-surface initial position adjusting apparatus which is suitable for use in a monocrystal growing system employing the Czochralski method to adjust the vertical position of the melt surface before the growing of a monocrystal. The apparatus can ensure a highly precise measurement of a crystal-diameter measuring device, thereby enabling a reduction in the costs of producing a monocrystal bar. Before the growing of a crystal, the vertical position (H) of the surface (16A) of a melt within a crucible is measured. The crucible is moved vertically on the basis of the measured value in such a manner as to maintain the distance (L) between the melt surface (16A) and an image sensor (28) for measuring the crystal diameter at a predetermined value.

    摘要: An apparatus is used in the production of a monocrystalline rod by Czochralski method and is adapted for measuring the diameter of the monocrystalline rod at the melt surface of the melt by processing image signal derived from an image sensor. The measurement of the diameter is conducted by determining the diameter of the monocrystalline rod at the melt surface by processing the output signal from the image sensor, and multiplying the rod image diameter with a function of the difference between the initial melt surface level and a melt surface corrected in accordance with a change in the temperature in the apparatus chamber or a change in the leval of the electrical power supplied to a heater for heating a crucible.

    摘要: The growing portion of a single crystal 1 grown by the pull method is recorded and the image signal is output to a digitizing circuit 3 that converts the image signal into binary data. A memory device 4 stores the digitized images and the point P at the boundary between dark and light is detected by scanning the stored digitized images starting from the scanning-start pixel and proceeding in the direction parallel to the direction of single crystal pulling. The diameter D of the growing portion of the single crystal is determined based upon the boundary P, and the scanning-start pixel for the current operation is set at the pixel that is separated from the boundary Pb in the preceding operation by a preset number of pixels d in the opposite direction of the scan.
