摘要:
A bell jar includes a metallic bell jar (1), and a metallic base plate (2) on which the bell jar (1) is placed, and packing (3) seals an inside of a container. To the base plate (2), a pressure gauge (4), a gas introduction line (5), and a gas discharge line (6) are connected so as to allow monitoring of internal pressure of the bell jar (1) and introduction and discharge of a gas. A vacuum pump (7) is provided in a path of the gas discharge line (6), and the vacuum pump (7) reduces internal pressure of the bell jar so as to be lower than vapor pressure of water. The vacuum pump (7) reduces the internal pressure of the bell jar so as to be lower than vapor pressure of water, thereby efficiently removing moisture, and completing drying of the bell jar in a short time.

摘要:
An inner wall 11 of a reactor 10 has a two-layer structure: an anticorrosive layer 11a comprising an alloy material having high anticorrosiveness is provided on the inner side of the reactor contacting a corrosive process gas, and a heat conductive layer 11b for efficiently conducting the heat within the reactor 10 from an inner wall surface to a coolant flow passage 13 is provided on the outer side of the reactor (outer-wall side). The anticorrosive layer 11a comprises an alloy material having a composition for which a value R, defined by R=[Cr]+[Ni]−1.5 [Si], is not less than 40% wherein [Cr] is a mass content (% by mass) of chromium (Cr), [Ni] is a mass content (% by mass) of nickel (Ni), and [Si] is a mass content (% by mass) of silicon (Si).
摘要:
The present invention provides a technique by which heat can be efficiently recovered from a coolant used to cool a reactor, and contamination with dopant impurities from an inner wall of a reactor when polycrystalline silicon is deposited within the reactor can be reduced to produce high-purity polycrystalline silicon. With the use of hot water 15 having a temperature higher than a standard boiling point as a coolant fed to the reactor 10, the temperature of the reactor inner wall is kept at a temperature of not more than 370° C. Additionally, the pressure of the hot water 15 to be recovered is reduced by a pressure control section provided in a coolant tank 20 to generate steam. Thereby, a part of the hot water is taken out as steam to the outside, and reused as a heating source for another application.

摘要:
Raw material gas supply nozzles are arranged within a virtual concentric circle having its center at the center of a disk-like base plate (having an area half as large as an area of the base plate). Raw material gas is ejected at a flow velocity of 150 m/sec or more into a bell jar from the gas supply nozzles. In addition to one gas supply nozzle provided in a center portion of the base plate, three gas supply nozzles can be arranged at the vertex positions of a regular triangle inscribed in a circumscribed circle having its center at the gas supply nozzle in the center portion. With the gas supply nozzles so arranged, a smooth circulating flow is formed within a reactor.

摘要:
A core wire holder 20 is formed with a core wire insert hole 21 having an opening part 22 on an upper surface of a main body and extending toward a lower surface side, and a silicon core wire 5 is inserted into the core wire insert hole 21. In addition, a slit-like gap part 60 extending along a virtual plane P including a central axis C of the core wire insert hole 21 is formed, and the slit-like gap part 60 is a gap part extending from the core wire insert hole 21 to reach an outer surface of the main body of the holder 20. The silicon core wire 5 inserted in the core wire insert hole 21 is fixed by fastening an upper part of the main body of the holder 20 from sides with, for example, a bolt/nut type fixing member 31.
摘要:
The mixed gas of a liquid raw material is stably supplied to not only one reactor but also a plurality of reactors as maintained with high purity at a fixed concentration. A method to supply a liquid raw material gas by the steps of storing a liquid raw material 31 in a bubbling tank 13 with maintaining the stored liquid raw material at a controlled temperature, bubbling a carrier gas 41 through the liquid raw material 31 thereby evaporating the liquid raw material and simultaneously generating a mixed gas composed of the carrier gas 41 and the liquid raw material 31, subjecting the mixed gas to a condensation treatment, and returning the liquefied liquid raw material 31 to the bubbling tank 13 and meanwhile supplying the mixed gas escaped from the liquefaction to a reactor(s), which method is characterized in that the condensation treatment of the mixed gas is carried out with the pressure and temperature thereof controlled at fixed levels, thereby the concentration of the mixed gas supplied to a reactor(s) is kept at a fixed level.
