Description

Crystal growing method by co-rotating crystal and crucible
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of crystal growth, and particularly relates to a crystal growth method by which crystals and a crucible rotate in the same direction.
Background
The Czochralski method (CZ method) is the current mainstream crystal growth method, and as the microelectronics industry rapidly progresses, the demand for large diameter and high quality crystals increases.
Oxygen is the most common impurity in the crystal growth process, and the too high oxygen concentration can cause different degrees of crystal quality problems for different crystals. For lithium niobate crystals, the higher the concentration of oxygen ions in lithium niobate, the more unblocked the ion conducting channels, and thus the conductivity thereof is also greatly affected. Moreover, too high partial pressure of oxygen may also cause a change in the crystal structure of lithium niobate, which is detrimental to the crystal quality. For crystals such as monocrystalline silicon, the oxygen concentration also greatly affects the crystal quality, and high oxygen concentration can cause degradation of the solar cell and warpage of the silicon wafer, and in addition, oxide precipitates are formed during the growth process, dislocation is generated in the crystal, and thus metal impurities are accumulated. Therefore, in order to produce high quality, low cost crystals, it is necessary to control the crystal oxygen content by improving the crystal growth process.
In the existing crystal growth process, the rotation direction of the crystal and the crucible is opposite, and the oxygen transportation condition in the melt flow is greatly affected by the rotation of the crystal and the crucible. The crystal crucible rotates in the same direction to enable the molten soup to have higher critical thermal capillary Reynolds number, and the thermal capillary flow can be more stable than the reverse rotation of the crystal crucible. The taylor cell is inverted when the crystal is rotated equidirectionally faster than the crucible, and vice versa when the crystal is rotated slower than the crucible. During the growth process. The oxygen concentration along the solid-liquid interface is affected by competition between convection and diffusion mechanisms, with melt flow being more sensitive to crystal rotation speed in the case of rotation of the crystal at the same speed as the crucible. At small rotational speed differences between crucible and crystal, the effect of diffusion becomes stronger than the effect of convection on oxygen transport. In this case, if the unit cell flow under the crystal is positive, oxygen diffusion from the region under the free melt surface to the growth interface can be prevented, and the oxygen concentration at the solid-liquid interface will be reduced.
To solve the above problems, the invention patent publication No. CN106319620B discloses a method for pulling a Czochralski crystal, which can improve the quality of the ingot and increase the efficiency. However, in the case where the crystal is rotated in the opposite direction to the crucible, the maximum melt velocity is farther from the edge of the crystal, and stable convection is formed as the rotation rate of the crystal is changed. Compared with the reverse direction, the convection of the melt is obviously weakened in the same direction, the oxygen concentration distribution is also obviously weakened, and the transportation of oxygen in the melt is mainly influenced by diffusion, and the evaporated oxygen content on the surface of the free melt is much larger than the oxygen content absorbed on the surface of the free melt. The invention patent publication No. CN100374628C discloses a method and apparatus for growing a silicon single crystal, a silicon single crystal and a silicon semiconductor wafer, which describe a method for growing a crystal by rotating a single crystal and a crucible in the same direction, but the method does not take into consideration control of the oxygen content of the crystal, and as the rotation speed of the crystal increases, the concentration flux at the solid-liquid interface increases toward the surface of the free melt, wherein the oxygen content increases and the oxygen content distribution is more dispersed.

in the shouldering step, the transition of the molten soup flow field can be determined according to the Reynolds numbers of the crystal and the molten soup, and when the rotation speed of the crystal is the same as the rotation speed of the crucible, the ratio of the Reynolds numbers of the crystal and the crucible is the critical ratio of the rotation Reynolds numbers of the crystal and the crucible.

From the above, the oxygen content can be effectively reduced by using the crystal rotation and the crucible rotation in the same direction under the same operation conditions. From the aspects of the flow mode of the molten soup, the oxygen concentration distribution (see figure 2) and the flow rate of the molten soup (see figure 3), the flow of the molten soup at the solid-liquid interface is obviously dispersed and uniform, in addition, the flow speed at the interface is obviously reduced, the flow speed of the molten soup is quite uniform under the same-direction rotation, the internal flow of the molten soup is not violent, the timely volatilization of the oxygen in the molten soup through diffusion is ensured, and the oxygen content in the crystal is effectively reducedAmount of the components. From the view of the molten soup temperature field (see fig. 4), the molten soup temperature distribution is obviously more uniform in the same-direction rotation than in the opposite-direction rotation, the relative consistency of the temperature gradient is ensured, the solid-liquid interface is wholly concave to the crystal, and the solid-liquid interface is more suitable for crystal growth. In addition, when ensuringWhen the method is used, the maximum temperature of the crucible is moderate, the change of a flow field of the melt Shang Rechang caused by deformation and collapse of the crucible is effectively avoided, and the crystal quality is ensured. For the growth of lithium niobate crystals, the co-rotating reduces the oxygen content of the crystals, improves the quality of crystal bars, ensures the stability of the resistivity of the crystals and the uniformity of radial distribution. For single crystal silicon, the co-rotation not only reduces the overall oxygen concentration, but also improves the radial oxygen concentration profile so that it is more uniform.
