Abstract

1405447 Controlling the growth of crystals PHILIPS ELECTRONIC & ASSOCIATED INDUSTRIES Ltd 28 Sept 1972 [1 Oct 1971] 44805/72 Heading G1A [Also in Division G3] In a control device controlling the growth of a crystal 5 from a melt 2 in crucible 1 heated by high frequency induction from a coil 30 supplied by a generator 31 which is controlled by a P.I.D. (proportional-integral-differential) control whose output signal is proportional to the difference between signals after time averaging of the amplified output signals of two photo-cells 26 and 25, the photo-cells receive light originating from a laser 11 and which has been reflected off a portion of the surface of the melt. The optical apparatus shown, especially the mirror 21 are set up so that the photo-cells 25 and 26 are equally illuminated if the diameter of the crystal being drawn by drawing rod 3 remains constant, and so that the output of the P.I.D. 32 will be zero. If the diameter of the crystal changes the gradient of the portion of the surface being investigated will change causing unequally illumination of the photo-cells and subsequent change in the heating of the melt to counter this change.
