Refer to Fig. 3, the schematic diagram of the Double-heater structure of big-size sapphire furnace that Fig. 3 provides for the embodiment of the present invention.
The Double-heater structure of big-size sapphire furnace that the embodiment of the present invention provides, comprise side heater 1 and bottom heater 3, wherein side heater 1 adopts double copper ring as electrode ring, with U-shaped tungsten bar 12 as heating element, and U-shaped tungsten bar 12 is arranged symmetrically with along two copper electrode rings, concrete, please refer to Fig. 4, the structural representation of the double copper ring side heater that Fig. 4 provides for the embodiment of the present invention, adopt two to extend axially through copper ring that insulating part is fixedly connected with is as electrode, be respectively the first copper electrode 14 and superposed second copper electrode 15 that are positioned at bottom, then on these two copper electrodes, multiple U-shaped tungsten bar 12 is circumferentially installed respectively and forms tubular structure as heating element, and in order to ensure the homogeneity of side thermograde, U-shaped tungsten bar 12 is fixed by rotational symmetry mode on the first copper electrode 14 and the second copper electrode 15, this symmetry axis is the axis of two copper electrodes,
The concrete structure of bottom heater 3 please refer to Fig. 5 and Fig. 6, the concentric heating ring that the top of bottom heater 3 for adopting duplex tungsten filament 31 is constructed by the needs of thermal field, and duplex tungsten filament 31 is connected on battery lead plate 34 by duplex connecting screw 38, to ensure the reliable contacts of battery lead plate 34 and duplex tungsten filament 31, bottom is supported by U-shaped support tungsten bar 32.
As shown in Figure 3, crucible 2 is in the inside of side heater 1, bottom heater 3 to be positioned under crucible 2 and to keep at a certain distance away, according to different steps in long brilliant process to the different requirements of thermal field, the power of side heater 1 and bottom heater 3 is adjusted, to meet the different requirements of crystal different stage to thermal field.
Because the Double-heater structure of big-size sapphire furnace in above-described embodiment includes side heater 1 and bottom heater 3 two portions, therefore this sapphire furnace can go out different thermal fields by realizing the power adjustment of side heater 1 and bottom heater 3 being combined into from sapphire required for the different long brilliant stages, the controllable combination of thermal field increases, thus creates favourable thermal field condition for large gauge sapphire crystal growth;
And as can be seen from above-described embodiment, adopt U-shaped tungsten bar 12 as the most basic component parts of heating element in side heater 1 provided by the present invention, and U-shaped tungsten bar 12 on two copper electrodes axisymmetricly form arrangement, thus make the thermograde full symmetric distribution of side heater 1 in axis and radial direction, this is not only large gauge sapphire crystal growth and has createed uniform side thermograde, the processing cost of tungsten bar is also starkly lower than the production cost of tungsten silk screen simultaneously, thus this kind of side heater structure also effectively reduces the production cost of whole sapphire furnace,
Bottom heater 3 adopts duplex tungsten filament 31 to need to build concentric heating annulus according to thermal field, compared with adopting the bottom heater of tungsten silk screen structure at present, the bottom heater of this kind of form due to centered by symmetrical structure, thus make the radial symmetry gradient of bottom temp field more even, thus be more conducive to the growth of large gauge sapphire crystal.
As can be seen here, the Double-heater structure of big-size sapphire furnace that the embodiment of the present invention provides can create favourable thermal field condition for the growth of large gauge size sapphire crystal, effectively reduces the production cost of sapphire furnace simultaneously.
In order to optimize the technical scheme in above-described embodiment further, the first copper electrode 14 in the present embodiment and the preferred interphase distribution of the U-shaped tungsten bar 12 on the second copper electrode 15 are circumferentially same, so-called interphase distribution refers to that, at same U-shaped tungsten bar 12 circumferentially, adjacent two U-shaped tungsten bars 12 are all arranged on different copper electrodes.
This kind of set-up mode can ensure the axis of the thermal field produced by side heater and the homogeneity of radial symmetry gradient further.
The conveniently installation of U-shaped tungsten bar 12, on the first copper electrode 14 and the second copper electrode 15, all open holes is provided with in the present embodiment, and position corresponding with the second copper electrode 15 open holes on the inwall of the first copper electrode 14 offers for for being arranged on the groove that the U-shaped tungsten bar on the second copper electrode passes through, and certainly can also offer the through hole that the U-shaped tungsten bar 12 of confession passes through in the position that the first copper electrode 14 is corresponding with the second copper electrode 15 open holes.
The first copper electrode 14 in the present embodiment and the second copper electrode 15 are fastenedly connected by bolt 17, because the first copper electrode 14 and the second copper electrode 15 are the different power transmission electrode be assigned to by uniform current on each U-shaped tungsten bar 12, therefore insulation must be ensured between the two, all pad between each bolt 17 and copper electrode in the present embodiment and be provided with insulating mat 16, and be also provided with the collets 13 be set on bolt 17 between two copper electrodes, to prevent from being communicated with between two electrodes.
In order to prevent U-shaped tungsten bar 12 at high temperature because the stress of gravity or its inside deforms, preferably the bottom of each U-shaped tungsten bar 12 is all inserted on same circular tungsten ring 11 in the present embodiment, and bundled by thin tungsten filament, to keep U-shaped tungsten bar 12 arrangement at high temperature.
In bottom heater, U-shaped support tungsten bar 32 is through lower insulation molybdenum shield 33, in order to ensure the insulation between U-shaped support tungsten bar 32 and lower insulation molybdenum shield 33, in the present embodiment, be positioned at the sheathed U-shaped support tungsten bar insulation covering 37 of the part of lower insulation molybdenum shield 33 at U-shaped support tungsten bar 32.
In order to ensure whole bottom heater 3 at high operating temperatures stable further, in the present embodiment, the bottom of U-shaped support stick 32 is all inserted in same insulated ring 35, and insulated ring 35 is fixed on bottom support retaining plate 36.
Side heater 1 and bottom heater 3 can be connected on identical power supply, but in order to the independent adjustment realizing side heater 1 and bottom heater 3 power needs to arrange respective Power Conditioning Unit respectively in side heater 1 and bottom heater 3, device fabrication cost can be caused so higher, in order to realize the independent adjustment of side heater 1 and bottom heater 3 with lower production cost, side heater 1 in the present embodiment and bottom heater 3 are connected to different circuit, namely be arranged on different power supplys, thus the power of side heater 1 and bottom heater 3 can be adjusted in the different steps of crystal pro cessing, to meet the different requirements of crystal different stage to thermal field.
