Description

Method for pulling low-dislocation ultra-high-purity germanium single crystal
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of cz method single crystal growth, in particular to a method for pulling a low-dislocation ultra-high-purity germanium single crystal.
Background
The basic principle of single crystal growth by the Claus-based method (hereinafter referred to as cz method) is that a raw material for crystal growth is placed in a crucible and heated to melt, and a certain degree of supercooling is generated in the melt, so that a nucleation driving force is generated. And (2) immersing seed crystals fixed at the lower end of the seed crystal rod into the upper surface of the melt, after one end of the seed crystals immersed into the melt is partially melted, lifting the seed crystal rod upwards at a certain speed, and transmitting heat generated at a solid-liquid interface in the crystallization process through the seed crystal rod. The melt in contact with the seed crystal first acquires a certain degree of supercooling and begins the crystallization process. With the slow pulling of the seed rod, the continuous crystal growth can be realized by controlling factors such as temperature, pulling speed and the like. The growth dynamics of the crystal can be observed at any time by pulling the single crystal by the CZ method, the growth condition of the crystal is convenient to master, and the growth condition is easy to control; in the process of crystal growth, the crystal is not contacted with the crucible wall, so that the parasitic nucleation generated by the crystal and the crucible wall can be obviously reduced. In addition, the crystal grown by the pulling method has high integrity, high growth rate and large crystal size, and can grow a crystal with a specific crystal orientation according to the crystal orientation of the seed crystal, so the crystal is widely applied to the field of single crystal growth.
The high-purity germanium detector plays an increasingly important role in the high-tech field, and is widely applied to experimental research of nuclear physics, particle physics and celestial physics. The method has the advantages of good energy resolution, high detection efficiency, strong stability and the like in the aspect of detecting particles, particularly X and gamma rays, and is beyond the reach of other gamma detectors. The pure impurity concentration of the high-purity germanium single crystal material of the detector grade must be less than 2 x 1010cm-3The dislocation density must reach 500-2In order to obtain the high-purity low-dislocation high-purity germanium single crystal, electronic grade germanium (5N-6N) is used as a raw material, a special zone melting purification method is adopted to obtain a detector grade germanium polycrystalline material, and a special single crystal pulling method is adopted to obtain a large-volume low-dislocation high-purity germanium single crystal material.
Generally, the solid-liquid interface in the single crystal pulling process is mainly a slightly convex interface, but as the crystal diameter increases, or the rotation speed increases, the interface will become convex and flat due to interface inversion caused by interface meltback, which is often a sudden change process, which results in a sudden increase in melt temperature, rapid thinning of crystal diameter, and crystal irregularities, and which also tend to cause defects in the crystal.

and (2) shouldering: reducing the crystal rotation speed and the crucible rotation speed, uniformly increasing the pulling speed, controlling uniform cooling according to the low cooling frequency and keeping for a certain time, so that the crystal diameter gradually grows to the crystal size required by the equal diameter.
It should be noted that, the scheme uniformly reduces the crystal rotation speed and the crucible rotation speed, and uniformly increases the pulling speed; and then uniformly cooling the crystal according to the low cooling frequency and keeping the crystal for a certain time to ensure that the diameter of the crystal gradually grows to the size of the crystal required by the equal diameter, namely the process of putting the crystal on shoulder is linked with the process of the equal diameter. Wherein, the temperature reduction frequency of the shouldering stage is lower than that of the shouldering stage, and the details can be seen in the following description.
According to the technical scheme, in the pulling method of the low-dislocation ultrahigh-purity germanium single crystal, the pulling speed is uniformly increased by uniformly reducing the crystal rotating speed and the crucible rotating speed; and then reducing the frequency and uniformly cooling to ensure that the diameter of the crystal gradually grows to the size of the crystal required by the equal diameter, namely the crystal is convenient to link the shouldering process and the equal diameter process, so that the crystal can inhibit the inversion process of an interface under the condition, the crystal diameter is prevented from becoming thin after shouldering, the crystal becomes irregular, and the crystal is prevented from generating defects.

The second design of the scheme is designed so that the crystal can better inhibit the inversion process of the interface under the condition, and the defects caused by pulling the crystal are further avoided. Of course, when pulling a three inch single crystal, the temperature can be stopped by stepping down for 1-2 hours at this stage so that the crystal diameter is stably maintained at 70-80 mm.
Further, the frit includes:
grinding raw materials: polishing and cleaning a germanium ingot raw material; preparing 6-8kg of germanium ingot raw material with the carrier concentration less than or equal to 8e10, polishing the germanium ingot raw material by using scouring pad, removing concave-convex burrs on the surface of the raw material until the surface is smooth, and washing the raw material by pure water;

Wherein, in the shoulder-setting stage, the uniform temperature reduction is controlled according to the high temperature reduction frequency of 120-180 w/h. That is to say, the shouldering stage is controlled in two stages, namely, the pulling speed is uniformly reduced, and the temperature is uniformly reduced, namely, the kinetic energy is controlled firstly and then the heat energy is controlled, so that the uniform shouldering can not generate new dislocation under the condition, and the low dislocation of the single crystal can be further realized. Of course, when pulling a three inch single crystal, the shoulder may be set for 1-2 hours at this stage, allowing the crystal diameter to grow gradually to 50-65 mm.

and (4) reducing the crucible raising speed to 0.3-0.8mm/h, controlling uniform cooling and keeping for a certain time till the melt is completely pulled. Wherein the temperature reduction frequency of the ending stage is 100-200 w/h.
Specifically, the cooling includes:
closing crystal lifting and crucible lifting, and cooling in three stages until the temperature is reduced to room temperature; wherein, the temperature reduction frequency of the three stages is higher; wherein, this scheme will cool down and divide into three stages and go on: in the first stage, the temperature is uniformly reduced for 1h according to the temperature reduction frequency of 300-400 w/h; in the second stage, the temperature is uniformly reduced for 2 hours according to the temperature reduction frequency of 500-600 w/h; in the third stage, the temperature is uniformly reduced at the temperature reduction frequency of 800-; that is to say, in the scheme, the cooling frequency is lower at the stage of higher temperature, so that a uniform cooling mode that the cooling is slow firstly and then fast is realized, the phenomenon that the crystal generates dislocation due to too fast temperature change is prevented, and the low dislocation of the single crystal is further realized;
and closing the crystal rotation and the crucible rotation to finish crystal pulling.
