摘要:
A tray made of silica glass or ceramic material with a seating component made out of U-shaped lengths, for disk-shaped elements and especially for round wafers, whereby the elements are secured in the seating component by means of slots. To provide a tray that is shaped in such a way as to provide easy access, is highly stable, and is designed to accept a wide range of wafer sizes, the seating component is in the form of two U sections, each with a base and two sides that are spaced by means of transverse tubes in such a way that the bases of the sections slope toward each other, the slots in the sides being deep enough for the upright elements to rest at points or along lines on the bases.
摘要:
A crucible for semiconductor technology purposes, especially for the production of silicon crystals, comprising an outer layer portion or layer of silicon dioxide, especially an outer made from granular natural quartz, and an inner lining made from synthetic crystalline quartz is described. The inner lining has on its interior surface a thin amorphous layer suitably made by heating a synthetic quartz layer disposed over a granular natural quartz layer at a sufficient temperature for a sufficient period of time to convert at least a portion of the synthetic crystalline quartz to the amorphous state.

To connect together tubular elements, such as pipes and the like, made of materials which are difficult to machine and handle, and which are expensive, such as quartz glass, or quartz materials or quartz-ceramic goods used, for example, in laboratory or chemical processing apparatus, the end portions of the tubular elements are formed with a circumferential groove or recess in which a spring ring made of metal, fiber-reinforced plastic, or the like, is snapped, the spring ring (3) being clamped at its external, projecting surface by a conical surface (8) on a flange ring (4) and a similar conical surface (8) on a counter ring, the flange ring and the counter ring being clamped by connecting bolts (6); two such elements can be connected together by passing connecting bolts (10) through aligned openings (7) in the flange rings; preferably, the connecting bolts are spring-loaded (11). The engagement angles of the conical surfaces (8) on the rings are, for example, about 38.degree. each with respect to a plane passing transversely through the axis of the tubular quartz goods.

In an optical fiber having a core whose material consists essentially of vitreous silica, said core having a jacket of plastic which is optically effective at least on a length of 10 m reckoned from the light input end of the fiber and which has a refractive index n.sub.M which is smaller than that of the core, the improvement wherein the core has an outer layer whose refractive index n.sub.ext is smaller than the refractive index n.sub.K of the remaining inner core portion which is constant and greater than the refractive index n.sub.M of the jacket, and n.sub.ext lies in the range from n.sub.K -(n.sub.K -n.sub.M). (0.25 to 0.8) and whose thickness amounts to between 0.8 .mu.m and 8 .mu.m.
摘要:
Flat, transparent slabs of vitreous silica of optical quality are produced by melting granular starting material in a vacuum by means of an electrical heating system. The starting material is melted while sustaining a heat flow from the top to the bottom of the crucible. The bottom of the crucible is made permeable to gases. The heat isolation power of the crucible wall increases from the bottom to the top of the crucible.

An infrared radiator includes a non-circular jacket tube made of quartz material, which may be quartz glass, the length of which is a multiple of the larger interior diameter and the interior of whch, in a sectional view, is separated into two areas, in each of which a heating wire extends in the direction of the tube axis. The heating wires are electrically conductive and connected to each other at one end of the jacket tube and lead to the exterior via connecting pieces at the other end. Two cross pieces which protrude from the inside wall of the jacket tube face each other and are directed toward the direction of the axis of the jacket tube so as to form the two areas.
摘要:
Granular silicon dioxide is placed in a treatment chamber which is heated to a temperature ranging from 700.degree. to 1300.degree. C. The chamber is then rotated for a prescribed period of time to mix the grains while a gaseous atmosphere of chlorine and/or hydrogen chloride is passed through the treatment chamber. The mixing period is followed by a resting period which is at least ten times longer than the mixing time. During the resting period the grains are exposed to a constant electric field having a strength of 600 to 1350 V/cm applied across the chamber. The foregoing cycle is repeated several times. For working the process a device is used which includes a quartz glass rotary tube into which hollow silicon carbide electrodes extend.
摘要:
A transmission line for optical radiation is disclosed, which has at least one optical fiber with core and cladding. The core consists of vitreous synthetic silicon dioxide, and the cladding of bitreous synthetic silicon dioxide doped with boric oxide and/or fluorine. The fiber is cooled over substantially its entire length to a temperature below 220 K. for the transmission of optical radiation in the wavelength range from 160 to 300 nm. Such transmission lines are used in spectroscopy, in machining processes, in medicine and chemical processes, and for biological purposes.
摘要:
A rack for supporting wafers has a pair of parallel struts with kerfs therealong for supporting the wafers. A dummy wafer is attached to the struts near each end of the struts to connect the struts structurally as the rack and serve as rack-handling handles. The dummy wafers are parallel to the adjacent kerfs and thus the wafers therein and dimensioned similarly to the wafers for providing favorable gas and heat distribution when a wafer loaded rack is placed in a furnace. This adapts the rack for diffusion treatment of semiconductor wafers.
