Background technology
Utilize in the process of zone melting method growing single-crystal silicon, the polycrystalline silicon rod of zone melting single crystal growing produces eddy current (electric current) by high-frequency induction on the polycrystalline surface, make polysilicon bar heating and melt, polysilicon liquation after the fusing flows along polycrystalline silicon rod, under the guiding of crystal seed slowly grow into silicon single crystal, but polycrystalline silicon rod is nonconducting at normal temperatures, that is to say that at normal temperatures high frequency magnetic field can not produce eddy current and make the bar fusing on the bar surface, so need to preheat bar.
Existingly polycrystalline silicon rod carried out pre-warmed method mainly contain following several mode:
One, molybdenum filament heating means, molybdenum filament is bundled in the end of polysilicon bar, by molybdenum filament under high-frequency current, conduct electricity after rubescent heating bar is heated, because in the process of polycrystalline silicon rod preheating, all need molybdenum filament is bundled on the polysilicon bar, therefore, this kind method is difficult to the large diameter polycrystalline silicon rod of preheating, generally being applied to the less polycrystalline silicon rod of diameter, mainly is that diameter is less than the polycrystalline silicon rod of Ф 30mm.
