Description

A kind of energy-saving sapphire crystal growing furnace
Technical field
The present invention relates to the preparation field of sapphire crystal, specifically a kind of energy-saving sapphire crystal growth Stove.
Background technology
Sapphire composition is aluminum oxide(Al2O3), it is to be combined by three oxygen atoms and two aluminium atoms with covalent bond pattern The hexagonal lattice structure formed.Because sapphire has the high velocity of sound, high temperature resistant, anticorrosive, high rigidity, high light transmittance, high-melting-point (2045℃)The features such as.Because its unique lattice structure, excellent machinery and optical property, sapphire crystal are widely used In various fields such as large scale integrated circuit, LED substrate material, infrared facility, the radium-shine eyeglasses of high intensity.Semiconductor shines in recent years The fast development of bright industry, the rapid growth of sapphire demand and the continuous development of crystal technique are promoted.
At present, it is melt method to apply and study in the world widest sapphire crystal growth technology, including flame melt method, is carried Daraf(reciprocal of farad), heat-exchanging method, kyropoulos, EFG technique, Bridgman-Stockbarger method and vertical-horizontal thermograde cooling method etc..Flame melt method is with pure Net Al2O3Powder is raw material, using oxyhydrogen flame as thermal source, the Al positioned at device top2O3Powder leads to during being scattered downwards Cross high-temperature region caused by oxyhydrogen flame and be heated melting, the raw material of melting, which falls on the seed crystal top of lower section and gradually crystallized, grows up to indigo plant Gem crystal, flame melt method equipment is simple, and rate of crystalline growth is fast, but the Crystalline Quality grown is poor, stress is big, because This, the sapphire crystal produced in this way is mainly for the manufacture of cheap jewel and wear-resistant element etc.;Lifting Method be by form crystal raw material be placed in crucible heat fusing, connect seed crystal in bath surface, under controlled conditions, make seed crystal and Melt constantly carries out rearranging for atom or molecule on interface, with cooling gradually solidification and go out monocrystal, its is main Advantage is:The growing state of crystal can be easily observed during growth;Crystal grows at bath surface, without with Crucible is in contact, and can so significantly reduce the stress of crystal, and prevents the parasitic nucleation of sidewall of crucible;Can be easily using fixed To seed crystal and " necking down " technique, its dislocation density substantially reduces;Crystal has relatively low dislocation density, higher optical-quality homogeneous Property.Shortcoming is that cost is higher, and crystal diameter is by a definite limitation;Heat-exchanging method is a kind of low-temperature gradient growing method, Crucible, thermal field and crystal move without any physics, and the growth of crystal fully relies on the thermograde that furnace binding is formed, Seed crystal is placed in crucible bottom, and by controlling the helium gas flow of crucible bottom to ensure that seed crystal is in low-temperature space, the raw material in crucible is complete After portion's fusing, it is ensured that seed crystal, by increasing the flow of helium, makes low-temperature space only with melt preferably welding without all being melted Gradually expand upwards, so that solid liquid interface moves up, heat-exchanging method by controlling heating power except adjusting thermal field temperature It is outside one's consideration, the cooldown rate of crystal can also be controlled by controlling helium gas flow, the method advantage is:With accurate temperature control System, can obtain the large-size crystals of high quality, and the defects of crystal and residual stress is relatively low.The weak point of heat-exchanging method is to need Substantial amounts of helium is consumed, cost is higher, and growth cycle is longer;Kyropoulos are the seed crystal and melt contacts that one is cooled, such as The temperature at fruit interface is less than freezing point, then seed crystal starts to grow, in order that crystal is constantly grown up, it is necessary to gradually reduces melt Temperature, while rotating crystal, to improve the Temperature Distribution of melt.Slowly (or stage by stage) crystal can also be above carried, to expand Big radiating surface.Crystal does not contact in growth course or at the end of growth with sidewall of crucible, and this greatly reduces the stress of crystal. But, when crystal and remaining melt depart from, it will usually produce larger thermal shock.Kyropoulos are to apply most indigo plant at present Jewel growing method, to improve growing efficiency and improving crystal mass, people propose a variety of evolutionary approach to kyropoulos, The ES2 techniques of such as cold core shouldering micropulling technique and Rubicon companies.Rubicon was grown in 2009 with the method Go out the 200kg sapphire crystal that weighs.This method and technology is ripe, and cost is relatively low, is adapted to produce in enormous quantities.Major defect is to need The crystal grown draw cutting, bring certain labor content, and utilization rate of crystal is relatively low;EFG technique, it is The mould for having slit is put into melt, melt rises to die tip by capillarity by slit, on this mould top The melt position tripping in seed crystal at end, the shape then limited according to guided mode slit continuously grow crystal.By changing guided mode Shape, the sapphire crystal of the various special shapes such as piece, rod, pipe, silk can be grown, it is numerous for sapphire crystal so as to eliminate The procedures such as cutting, shaping, greatly reduce the loss of material, save process time, so that sapphire again Cost significantly reduces.The outstanding advantages of EFG technique are to save material, can grow the material of various special shapes, but reduce defect Level is its difficult point, and equipment construction is complicated;Bridgman-Stockbarger method is proposed by Chinese yunnan aquamaine Science and Technology Ltd..This method Similar vertical Bridgman technique, using molybdenum crucible and induction heating mode, seed crystal is placed in crucible bottom.Raw material all melts Afterwards, by seed crystal and the good welding of melt, thermograde then is obtained by driving crucible from high-temperature region to low-temperature space movement, is made Solid liquid interface, which moves up, completes crystal growth.The uniformity of crystal can be improved by adding Melt Stirring device.The method Major advantage be that crystal perfection is good, it is therefore, big straight in production simultaneously as crucible diameter is exactly obtained crystal diameter Technique is complex during the crystal of footpath;Vertical-horizontal thermograde cooling method, the method is by South Korea STC (Sapphire Technology Com) company's proposition.VHGF methods are that VGF techniques are applied to a kind of process of Sapphire Crystal Growth, Similar to VGF techniques, crystal growth interface is realized by the thermograde of computer control vertically and horizontally both direction It is mobile, it is not necessary to mechanical driving device.This method makes device structure simpler, improves the stability of crystal growth, can To obtain the sapphire crystal of high integrality low stress.The crystal diameter of this method growth at present is 50~100mm (2 ~ 4 English It is very little), length reaches 250mm (10 inches).STC Corporation supplies sapphire crystal since 2000, and VHGF methods are its exclusive patents Technology, defect concentration is small, and material purity is high, and crystalline size and shape are relatively unrestricted, and comprehensive advantage is more apparent.
At present, the heater of the heating system of domestic and international crystal growing furnace is induction heating type graphite heater, resistance-type The bar-shaped either netted graphite heater of hot type, resistance-type heating tungsten filament or tungsten plate heater, these heaters do not have cold end With point in hot junction, energization feature is low-voltage, heavy current, changed power scope is big, conduction time is long, power consumption is big and maximum is born Lotus is fluctuated.In addition, the crystal sintering furnace of above-mentioned making all can not accurately control solid liquid interface temperature in crystal growth, crystal Growth course controls by experience completely, and the speed of crystal growth can not realize the accurate control of automation.
With the development of science and technology, market is more urgent to higher quality and the demand of larger sized sapphire crystal Cut, therefore, how to produce high-quality, large size sapphire crystal simultaneously, reduce the cost of raw material, shorten the process time, save Power cost turns into the urgent task that current Chang Jing enterprises face.
