Method.
Background technology
Silicon carbide (SiC) is the Typical Representative in half semiconductor material with wide forbidden band of the third generation, compared to traditional material silicon
(Si)It has apparent advantage in energy gap, thermal conductivity, critical breakdown strength, saturated electrons drift speed etc..Carbon
SiClx whisker has many advantages, such as high-melting-point, high intensity, low thermal expansion, corrosion-resistant, and ceramic base and Metal Substrate etc. can be used as multiple
The activeness and quietness agent of condensation material, can as ceramic mechanism, high grade refractory, refractory coating material, be widely used in machinery,
The fields such as electronics and aviation.
The method of growth silicon carbide whisker conventional at present, mainly by adding after simply silicon and carbon are mixed
It is generated after heat, heat preservation, natural cooling.The silicon carbide whisker of these methods generation, impurity content is high, and crystal form is more, and yield is small, together
When whisker length it is uncontrollable, it is impossible to as a kind of growth pattern of industrialization.And the silicon carbide whisker that these methods are synthesized
It must, it is also necessary to which the purification process after coming out of the stove needs to carry out the chemical treatments purifying such as decarburization, de- silica, deferrization.Growth technique
Complexity, and the whisker synthesized is unstable.
Therefore, mass grows the high-quality silicon carbide whisker of controlled dimensions, is current industrialization growth silicon carbide whisker
The key of palpus.

Silicon melts;1500-2300 DEG C is continuously heating to, keeps the temperature 30min, the silicon of melting is made to corrode graphite crucible, so as to obtain silicon carbide
Solution;Then whisker is collected into stick and collecting board is immersed in the silicon carbide solution in graphite crucible, then rotated whisker and collect
Plate stirs silicon carbide solution, promotes the uniformity of solute Distribution, ensures the consistency of whisker growth environment, and rotation is finished, closed
Into position be that height of the collecting board apart from liquid level is at 0.2-5cm, generated time is kept for 1-20 hours, can obtain predetermined length
Silicon carbide whisker;After synthesis terminates, carbon whisker is collected into stick and collecting board lifts out solution, natural cooling is collected and obtained
Silicon carbide whisker.
The position and generated time that the length of heretofore described silicon carbide whisker is synthesized by it determine that length can be
1mm-5cm;
The crystal form of heretofore described silicon carbide whisker is determined that crystal form can be by synthesis temperature
3C-SiC, 4H-SiC, 6H-SiC and 15R-SiC etc.;
Heretofore described graphite crucible, polysilicon, whisker are collected stick and collecting board and can be reused, and reduce system
The cost of standby whisker.
The present invention also protects a kind of growth cell configuration as follows:
Whisker including that can accommodate the graphite crucible of silicon carbide solution and can stretch into inside graphite crucible collects stick, described
Whisker collects stick and is provided with collecting board;The top open part of the graphite crucible is provided with crucible cover;The graphite crucible
Outside be enclosed with thermal insulation board.
The mode of heating of heretofore described vacuum drying oven can be resistance-type heating or induction type heating.
In conclusion using the present invention provides a kind of methods for producing high-quality SiC whisker, production process is simple, behaviour
The property made is strong, and production cost is low, can mass growth controlled dimensions high-quality silicon carbide whisker.
