    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.

    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: A process for producing a single-crystal semiconductor and an apparatus therefor. A single-crystal semiconductor of large diameter and large weight can be lifted with the use of existing equipment not having any substantial change thereto while not influencing the oxygen concentration of single-crystal semiconductor and the temperature of melt and while not unduly raising the temperature of seed crystal. In particular, the relationship (L1, L2, L3) between the allowable temperature difference (ΔT) and the diameter (D) of seed crystal (14) is preset so that the temperature difference between the seed crystal (14) at the time the seed crystal (14) is immersed in the melt and the melt (5) falls within the allowable temperature difference (ΔT) at which dislocations are not introduced into the seed crystal (14). In accordance with the relationship (L1, L2, L3), the allowable temperature difference (ΔT) corresponding to the diameter (D) of seed crystal (14) to be immersed in the melt is determined. Temperature control is conducted so that at the time the seed crystal (14) is immersed in the melt (5) the temperature difference between the seed crystal (14) and the melt (5) falls within the determined allowable temperature difference (ΔT).

    摘要: The present invention employs the construction wherein a resistor heater is disposed inside a protective cylinder whose tip is open to a molten liquid packing zone of a crucible inside a pulling apparatus so that the resistor heater is above the tip of a lower portion and temperature setting can be made so as to be capable of fusing a starting material. Since the tip of the protective cylinder is positioned inside the molten liquid at the time of pulling of a single crystal, the gaseous phase portion inside the protective cylinder and the gaseous phase portion inside the pulling apparatus are separated apart by the molten liquid and are independent of each other and a starting material polycrystal rod loaded into the protective cylinder can be supplied to the molten liquid surface inside the crucible while being molten at the lower part of the protective cylinder by the resistor heater. In this manner, the single crystal whose impurity concentration is substantially uniform in the longitudinal direction can be grown continuously.
