摘要:
The amount of Group-V element included in a melt 6 has the close relationship with the oxygen concentration of the melt 6. This relationship is utilized for controlling the oxygen concentration of a single crystal 8 at a high level. The content of Group-V element is calculated from the weight of the melt 6 gauged by a gravimeter 11 and compared with a preset value in a control unit 12. When the calculated content is smaller than the preset value, the control signal to additionally supply Group-V element to the melt 6 is outputted from the control unit 12 to a feeder 14. When the calculated content is larger than the preset value, the control signal to supply a raw material to the melt 6 is outputted to another feeder 13.
摘要:
The density of a melt precisely represents the stability of the melt, so that the initiation of pulling-up operation can be determined on the basis of the changing rate of the density. The pulling-up operation may be started when the density becomes constant, or when the changing rate of the density with respect to the temperature becomes smaller. Since the melt or clusters do not include different minute structures, an obtained single crystal is of high quality free from minute faults or dislocations.

A Si material mixed with Group-V element is melted in a crucible, and then held in a chamber filled with a rare gas at atmospheric pressure of 100 torr. or higher. A rare gas, e.g. Ar, Kr, Xe or Rn, having a large mass or the mixture of Ar with Kr, Xe or Rn may be used as atmospheric gas. The high-pressure atmosphere suppress the evaporation of oxides of Group-V elements from the Si melt, so that the Si melt can be maintained at a high oxygen concentration under a stable condition until the start of pulling operation.

When a Si single crystal 8 is pulled up from a melt 6 received in a crucible 2, the state of eddy flows generated in the melt 6 is judged from the temperature distribution of the melt at the surface. According to the result of judgement, the gas, i.e. N.sub.2, Xe or Kr, which causes extraoridnary deviation in the density of a melt 6 is added to an atmospheric gas, so as to keep the eddy flows under unstabilized condition. The effect of said gas is typical in the case of crystal growth from the melt to which a dopant such as Ca, Sb, Al, As or In having the effect to suppress the extraordinary deviation in the density is added. Since the single crystal is pulled up from the melt held in the temperature-controlled condition at the surface, impurity distribution and oxygen distribution are made uniform along the direction of crystal growth. A single crystal obtained in this way has highly-stabilized quality.

When a B or P-doped Si single crystal is pulled up from a B or P-doped melt by the Czochralski method, an element such as Ga, Sb or In having the effect to reduce the heat expansion coefficient of said melt at a temperature near the melting point is added to said melt. The additive element stabilizes the temperature condition of crystal growth so as to control the generation of eddy flows just below the interface of crystal growth. When a Ga or Sb-doped Si single crystal is pulled up from a Ga or Sb-doped melt, an element such as B or P having the effect to increase the heat expansion coefficient of said melt at a temperature near the melting point is added. The agitation of the melt just below the interface of crystal growth is accelerated by the addition of B or P, so as to assure the growth of a Si single crystal from the melt having impurity distribution made uniform along the radial direction. Accordingly, a Si single crystal is formed having a uniform impurity distribution along its lengthwise or radial direction.

When a single crystal is pulled up from a melt, the difference .DELTA.T between temperatures at the bottom of a crucible and at the interface of crystal growth is controlled so as to hold the Rayleigh constant defined by the formula of: R a=g.multidot..beta..multidot..DELTA.T.multidot.L/.kappa..multidot..nu. within the range of 5.times.10.sup.5 -4.times.10.sup.7, wherein g represents the acceleration of gravity, .beta. the volumetric expansion coefficient of the melt, L the depth of the melt, .kappa. thermal diffusivity and .nu. the kinematic viscocity. Since the convection mode of the melt at the interface of crystal growth is constantly held in the region of soft turbulence, a single crystal is grown under the stabilized temperature condition without the transfer of the impurity distribution in the melt into the growing single crystal.

The present invention provides a nanowire production method that is simpler than conventional nanowire production methods, and that makes it easier to control the size and shape of the nanowires by using a technique completely different from the conventional ones. A powder particle containing a metal element is divided into nanometer-size wires containing the metal element by irradiating a suspension of the powder particles with a femtosecond laser. The present invention also makes it possible to divide the nanometer-size wires thus formed into nanometer-size particles containing the metal element by irradiating further the nanometer-size wires with the femtosecond laser.
