Description

本発明は、FZ法による単結晶の製造方法に関し、更に詳しくはFZ法により単結晶を成長させている途中で成長を停止した場合に残りの原料結晶棒を合理的に利用する単結晶の製造方法に関する。   The present invention relates to a method for producing a single crystal by the FZ method, and more specifically, a method for producing a single crystal in which the remaining raw material crystal rods are reasonably utilized when the growth is stopped during the growth of the single crystal by the FZ method. Regarding the method.

従来、高耐圧パワーデバイスやサイリスタ等のパワーデバイス製造用にはFZ法により製造された高純度シリコンウェーハが使用されてきた。   Hitherto, high-purity silicon wafers manufactured by the FZ method have been used for manufacturing power devices such as high breakdown voltage power devices and thyristors.

近年では、半導体デバイスの性能向上とコストの低減のため、大口径のシリコンウェーハが求められ、これに伴って大口径シリコン単結晶の育成が要求されている。また、従来の口径の製品の需要もあるので、8インチ(直径200mm)、6インチ(直径150mm)、5インチ(直径125mm)、4インチ(直径100mm)、それ以下の口径も製造されている。   In recent years, in order to improve the performance of semiconductor devices and reduce the cost, large-diameter silicon wafers have been demanded, and accordingly, large-diameter silicon single crystals have been required to grow. In addition, since there is a demand for products with conventional caliber, caliber of 8 inch (diameter 200 mm), 6 inch (diameter 150 mm), 5 inch (diameter 125 mm), 4 inch (diameter 100 mm) and smaller are manufactured. ..

FZ法では、原料結晶棒を誘導加熱コイルで加熱溶融して浮遊帯域を形成し、誘導加熱コイルに対して上側の原料結晶棒及び下側の単結晶棒を相対的に下降させ、浮遊帯域を移動させることで単結晶棒を育成する(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   In the FZ method, a raw material crystal rod is heated and melted by an induction heating coil to form a floating zone, and an upper raw material crystal rod and a lower single crystal rod are relatively lowered with respect to the induction heating coil to form a floating zone. The single crystal ingot is grown by moving it (see, for example, Patent Document 1).

図3に、一般的に用いられるFZ単結晶製造装置30を示す。このFZ単結晶製造装置30を用いて、シリコン単結晶を製造する方法について説明する。   FIG. 3 shows a generally used FZ single crystal production apparatus 30. A method of manufacturing a silicon single crystal using this FZ single crystal manufacturing apparatus 30 will be described.

まず、シリコン原料結晶棒1を準備する。シリコン原料結晶棒1としては、シーメンス法により製造されたシリコン多結晶棒又はCZ法により製造されたシリコン単結晶棒が用いられる。   First, the silicon raw material crystal ingot 1 is prepared. As the silicon raw material crystal rod 1, a silicon polycrystal rod manufactured by the Siemens method or a silicon single crystal rod manufactured by the CZ method is used.

シリコン原料結晶棒1は上軸3に上部保持治具4にて保持する必要があるので、予め、シリコン原料結晶棒1の上側(単結晶になった時のテール側)には上軸3の上部保持治具4に保持する為に一部を機械加工したり、下側(単結晶になった時のコーン側)には種付けし易いように先端部を機械加工したり、直胴部を所望の直径にするための機械加工などが施されてもよい。機械加工をすると、そのままでは表面に不純物が付着しているので、高純度な単結晶を製造するために、一般的にはエッチングや洗浄がなされる。   Since it is necessary to hold the silicon raw material crystal rod 1 on the upper shaft 3 by the upper holding jig 4, the upper side of the upper shaft 3 (the tail side when becoming a single crystal) of the silicon raw material crystal rod 1 is previously held. A part of it is machined to hold it on the upper holding jig 4, a tip part is machined on the lower side (cone side when it becomes a single crystal) to facilitate seeding, and a straight body part is attached. Machining or the like to obtain a desired diameter may be performed. When mechanical processing is performed, impurities are attached to the surface as it is, and therefore etching or cleaning is generally performed in order to manufacture a high-purity single crystal.

続いて、シリコン原料結晶棒1をチャンバー20内に設置された上軸3の上部保持治具4に保持する。そして、直径の小さい単結晶の種(種結晶)8を、シリコン原料結晶棒1の下方に位置する下軸5の下部保持治具6に保持する。   Subsequently, the silicon raw material crystal ingot 1 is held by the upper holding jig 4 of the upper shaft 3 installed in the chamber 20. Then, a single crystal seed (seed crystal) 8 having a small diameter is held by the lower holding jig 6 of the lower shaft 5 located below the silicon raw material crystal rod 1.

次に、誘導加熱コイル7によりシリコン原料結晶棒1を溶融して、種結晶8に融着させる。その後、種絞りにより絞り部9を形成して無転位化する。そして、上軸3と下軸5を回転させながらシリコン原料結晶棒1とシリコン単結晶2を下降させることで浮遊帯域10(溶融帯あるいはメルトともいう)をシリコン原料結晶棒1とシリコン単結晶2の間に形成し、当該浮遊帯域10をシリコン原料結晶棒1の上端まで移動させてゾーニングし、シリコン単結晶2を成長させる。この成長は、Arガスに微量の窒素ガスを混合した雰囲気中で行われる。   Next, the silicon raw material crystal ingot 1 is melted by the induction heating coil 7 and fused to the seed crystal 8. After that, the narrowed portion 9 is formed by the seed narrowing to eliminate dislocation. Then, by lowering the silicon raw material crystal rod 1 and the silicon single crystal 2 while rotating the upper shaft 3 and the lower shaft 5, a floating zone 10 (also referred to as a melting zone or a melt) is formed in the silicon raw material crystal rod 1 and the silicon single crystal 2. The silicon single crystal 2 is grown by moving the floating zone 10 to the upper end of the silicon raw material crystal rod 1 and zoning. This growth is performed in an atmosphere in which a small amount of nitrogen gas is mixed with Ar gas.

上記誘導加熱コイル7としては、銅又は銀からなる単巻又は複巻の冷却用の水を流通させた誘導加熱コイルが用いられている。   As the induction heating coil 7, an induction heating coil in which a single-winding or multi-winding cooling water made of copper or silver is circulated is used.

目的の重量のシリコン単結晶に到達した段階で、テールを形成する工程となり、成長を停止し、シリコン原料結晶棒と切り離す。   When the silicon single crystal having a target weight is reached, the step of forming a tail is started, the growth is stopped, and the silicon raw material crystal rod is separated.

しかしながら、目的の重量に到達する前にシリコン単結晶が途中で有転位化してしまう場合もある。この場合には、残りのシリコン原料結晶棒の重量は想定よりも大きくなり、図2に示す従来のシリコン原料結晶棒の再利用のフローに従い、測定した残りのシリコン原料結晶棒の重量が最低製品重量を取得できるほど大きい場合には、再度、FZ法に利用することができる。   However, in some cases, the silicon single crystal may become dislocation-containing before the target weight is reached. In this case, the weight of the remaining silicon raw material crystal rod becomes larger than expected, and the measured weight of the remaining silicon raw material crystal rod is the minimum product according to the flow of reusing the conventional silicon raw material crystal rod shown in FIG. If the weight is large enough to be acquired, it can be used again for the FZ method.

特開2016−141612号公報JP, 2016-141612, A

FZ法によるシリコン単結晶の結晶成長においては1本のシリコン原料結晶棒(以下、単に原料結晶棒ともいう)からできるだけ大きな重量のシリコン単結晶(以下、単に単結晶ともいう)を製造することが、歩留り、コスト改善に繋がり好ましい。この理由は、FZ法による単結晶の製造用のシリコン原料結晶棒は高価であり、製造する単結晶のコストに対して大きな比率を占めているからである。   In the crystal growth of a silicon single crystal by the FZ method, it is possible to manufacture a silicon single crystal (hereinafter, simply referred to as a single crystal) having a weight as large as possible from one silicon raw material crystal rod (hereinafter also simply referred to as a raw material crystal rod). It is preferable because it leads to yield improvement and cost improvement. The reason for this is that the silicon raw material crystal rod for producing a single crystal by the FZ method is expensive and occupies a large ratio to the cost of the produced single crystal.

しかしながら、不可避的な有転位化や地震、瞬停による停止により、途中で結晶成長を停止させることがある。また、FZ法の製品は多品種少量生産であり、必要な製品量が随分と少なく、途中で成長を停止させる場合がある。これらの場合にはシリコン原料結晶棒の残りの重量が大きくなってしまう。   However, crystal growth may be stopped midway due to unavoidable dislocation, an earthquake, or a stop due to an instantaneous blackout. Further, the products of the FZ method are high-mix low-volume production, the amount of products required is very small, and the growth may be stopped midway. In these cases, the remaining weight of the silicon raw material crystal rod becomes large.

このような場合には、残りのシリコン原料結晶棒を再度、FZ法に利用することで少しでも製品を製造することは有効であるが、シリコン原料結晶棒の重量は最初に比べて軽くなっているので、このようなシリコン原料結晶棒から製品を再製造した場合、製品部分に対して製品にならないコーン部やテール部の比率が高くなり必然的に歩留りは低下してしまう。   In such a case, it is effective to manufacture the product as much as possible by utilizing the remaining silicon raw material crystal rods for the FZ method again, but the weight of the silicon raw material crystal rods becomes lighter than at the beginning. Therefore, when a product is remanufactured from such a silicon raw material crystal ingot, the ratio of the cone portion and the tail portion which are not the product to the product portion becomes high, and the yield is inevitably lowered.

本発明はこのような課題に鑑みなされたもので、途中で結晶成長を停止させた場合に、残りの原料結晶棒を有効に利用することで歩留り低下を抑制した単結晶の製造方法を提供することを目的とする。   The present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and provides a method for producing a single crystal in which the yield reduction is suppressed by effectively utilizing the remaining raw material crystal rods when the crystal growth is stopped midway. The purpose is to

上記課題を解決するため、本発明は、原料結晶棒を誘導加熱コイルで加熱溶融して浮遊帯域を形成し、前記誘導加熱コイルに対して上側の前記原料結晶棒及び下側の単結晶棒を回転させながら相対的に下降させ、前記浮遊帯域を移動させることで前記単結晶棒を育成するFZ法による単結晶の製造方法であって、

In order to solve the above problems, the present invention forms a floating zone by heating and melting a raw material crystal rod with an induction heating coil, and the raw material crystal rod on the upper side and the single crystal rod on the lower side with respect to the induction heating coil. A method for producing a single crystal by the FZ method, in which the single crystal ingot is grown by relatively lowering while rotating and moving the floating zone,
When the growth is stopped during the crystal growth and the production of the single crystal by the FZ method is finished, a measurement step of measuring the weight of the remaining raw material crystal rods,
The theoretical yield of the single crystal straight body part excluding the cone part and the tail part with respect to the remaining raw material crystal rod of the single crystal rod that can be theoretically produced from the remaining raw material crystal rod is calculated from the measured weight, and the crystal is obtained. Before the diameter of the single crystal produced first before stopping the growth in the middle of the growth, satisfy the predetermined reference yield, determine the maximum diameter of the single crystal that can be produced again using the remaining raw material crystal rod, or If the predetermined reference yield is not satisfied, a determination step of determining not to manufacture a single crystal with the remaining raw material crystal rods,
In the case of determining the maximum diameter of the re-manufacturable single crystal, there is a remanufacturing step of manufacturing a single crystal with the maximum diameter of the re-manufacturable single crystal determined using the remaining raw material crystal rods. A method for producing a characteristic single crystal is provided.

このように、残りの原料結晶棒の重量を測定し、その重量の原料結晶棒から、最初に製造した単結晶の直径以下で、基準歩留りを満たす最大直径の単結晶を製造することで、適切な直径の単結晶を製造することが可能となるため、原料結晶棒を有効に利用することができ、従来よりも製品歩留りを向上させることができる。また、予め定めた基準歩留りを満たさない場合は単結晶の製造をしないことで従来よりも製造コストを低減することができる。   In this way, by measuring the weight of the remaining raw material crystal rod, from the raw material crystal rod of that weight, less than or equal to the diameter of the single crystal initially produced, by producing a single crystal of the maximum diameter that satisfies the reference yield, Since it becomes possible to manufacture single crystals of various diameters, the raw material crystal ingot can be effectively used, and the product yield can be improved more than ever before. Further, when the predetermined reference yield is not satisfied, the manufacturing cost can be reduced as compared with the conventional case by not manufacturing the single crystal.

このとき、前記判定工程において、
製造可能な単結晶の直径、及び、基準歩留りとして該製造可能な単結晶の直径毎の最低歩留りを予め定め、
前記残りの原料結晶棒から製造できる、前記最初に製造した単結晶の直径の理論歩留りを計算する最初の計算処理を行い、
該最初に製造した単結晶の直径の理論歩留りが直径毎に定める前記最低歩留り以上の場合は、同じ直径を前記再び製造できる単結晶の最大直径とし、直径毎に定める前記最低歩留りより小さい場合は、単結晶の仮の最大直径を、予め定めた前記製造可能な単結晶の直径のうち1サイズ小さい直径とする最初の判定処理を行い、
再度、前記残りの原料結晶棒から製造できる、前記単結晶の仮の最大直径の理論歩留りを計算する計算処理を行い、
前記単結晶の仮の最大直径の理論歩留りが直径毎に定める前記最低歩留り以上の場合は、該直径を前記再び製造できる単結晶の最大直径とし、直径毎に定める前記最低歩留りより小さい場合は、前記単結晶の仮の最大直径を予め定めた前記製造可能な単結晶の直径のうち更に1サイズ小さい直径に設定し直す判定処理を行い、該設定し直した単結晶の仮の最大直径で前記計算処理、前記判定処理を行うことを繰り返し、予め定めた前記製造可能な単結晶の直径の最低直径において計算した理論歩留りが直径毎に定める前記最低歩留りより小さい場合には単結晶を製造しないと決定することが好ましい。
At this time, in the determination step,
The diameter of the manufacturable single crystal, and the minimum yield for each diameter of the manufacturable single crystal as the reference yield is predetermined,
Can be manufactured from the remaining raw material crystal rods, perform the first calculation process to calculate the theoretical yield of the diameter of the first manufactured single crystal,
If the theoretical yield of the diameter of the initially produced single crystal is greater than or equal to the minimum yield determined for each diameter, the same diameter is used as the maximum diameter of the single crystal that can be produced again, and if it is less than the minimum yield determined for each diameter. , Performing a first determination process of setting a provisional maximum diameter of the single crystal to be one size smaller than the predetermined diameter of the manufacturable single crystal,
Again, it can be produced from the remaining raw material crystal rods, perform a calculation process to calculate the theoretical yield of the temporary maximum diameter of the single crystal,
If the theoretical yield of the provisional maximum diameter of the single crystal is equal to or more than the minimum yield determined for each diameter, the diameter is the maximum diameter of the single crystal that can be manufactured again, and if the minimum yield is less than the minimum yield determined for each diameter, A determination process is performed to reset the provisional maximum diameter of the single crystal to a diameter smaller by one size among the predetermined diameters of the manufacturable single crystals, and the provisional maximum diameter of the reset single crystal is used. Repeating the calculation process and the determination process, if the theoretical yield calculated at the predetermined minimum diameter of the diameter of the manufacturable single crystal is smaller than the minimum yield determined for each diameter, the single crystal should not be manufactured. It is preferable to determine.

このような方法を用いれば、より簡単で確実に、従来よりも製品歩留りを向上させることができ、また、製造コストを低減することができる。   By using such a method, it is possible to improve the product yield more easily and surely than before, and it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost.

本発明の単結晶の製造方法によると、残りの原料結晶棒の重量を測定し、その重量の原料結晶棒から、最初に製造した単結晶の直径以下で、基準歩留りを満たす最大直径の単結晶を製造することで、適切な直径の単結晶を製造することが可能となるため、原料結晶棒を有効に利用することができ、従来よりも製品歩留りを向上させることができる。また、予め定めた基準歩留りを満たさない場合は単結晶の製造をしないことで従来よりも製造コストを低減することができる。   According to the method for producing a single crystal of the present invention, the weight of the remaining raw material crystal rod is measured, and from the raw material crystal rod of that weight, the diameter of the first produced single crystal or less, the maximum diameter of the single crystal satisfying the reference yield Since it becomes possible to manufacture a single crystal having an appropriate diameter, it is possible to effectively use the raw material crystal ingot, and it is possible to improve the product yield more than ever before. Further, when the predetermined reference yield is not satisfied, the manufacturing cost can be reduced as compared with the conventional case by not manufacturing the single crystal.

本発明のシリコン原料結晶棒の再利用のフローの例である。It is an example of a flow of reusing the silicon raw material crystal ingot of the present invention. 従来のシリコン原料結晶棒の再利用のフローである。It is a flow of reusing the conventional silicon raw material crystal rod. 一般的に用いられるFZ単結晶製造装置を示す概略図である。It is the schematic which shows the FZ single crystal manufacturing apparatus generally used.

上述したように、途中で結晶成長を停止させた場合に、残りのシリコン原料結晶棒から製品を再製造すると、製品部分に対して製品にならないコーン部やテール部の比率が高くなり必然的に歩留りは低下してしまうという課題があった。   As described above, if the product is remanufactured from the remaining silicon raw material crystal rods when the crystal growth is stopped in the middle, the ratio of the cone part and the tail part that do not become the product to the product part is inevitably high. There is a problem that the yield is reduced.

本発明者らは、このような課題を解決すべく鋭意検討を重ねた結果、途中で結晶成長を停止させた場合に、残りの原料結晶棒を有効に利用することで歩留り低下を抑制できることが判り、本発明を完成させた。   As a result of intensive studies to solve such a problem, the inventors of the present invention can suppress the yield reduction by effectively utilizing the remaining raw material crystal rods when the crystal growth is stopped midway. Understood, the present invention was completed.

即ち、本発明は、原料結晶棒を誘導加熱コイルで加熱溶融して浮遊帯域を形成し、前記誘導加熱コイルに対して上側の前記原料結晶棒及び下側の単結晶棒を回転させながら相対的に下降させ、前記浮遊帯域を移動させることで前記単結晶棒を育成するFZ法による単結晶の製造方法であって、結晶成長途中で成長を停止し、FZ法による単結晶の製造を終了した場合に、残りの原料結晶棒の重量を測定する測定工程と、前記残りの原料結晶棒から理論的に製造できる単結晶棒の前記残りの原料結晶棒に対するコーン部とテール部を除いた単結晶直胴部の理論歩留りを前記測定した重量から計算し、前記結晶成長途中で成長を停止する前の最初に製造した単結晶の直径以下で、予め定めた基準歩留りを満たす、前記残りの原料結晶棒を用いて再び製造できる単結晶の最大直径を決定する、又は、前記予め定めた基準歩留りを満たさない場合は、前記残りの原料結晶棒では単結晶の製造をしないことを決定する判定工程と、前記再び製造できる単結晶の最大直径を決定した場合には、前記残りの原料結晶棒を用いて決定した前記再び製造できる単結晶の最大直径で単結晶を製造する再製造工程とを有することを特徴とする単結晶の製造方法である。   That is, according to the present invention, a raw material crystal rod is heated and melted by an induction heating coil to form a floating zone, and the upper raw material crystal rod and the lower single crystal rod are relatively rotated with respect to the induction heating coil. In the method for producing a single crystal by the FZ method, in which the single crystal ingot is grown by moving the floating zone to a low temperature, the growth is stopped during the crystal growth, and the production of the single crystal by the FZ method is completed. In this case, a measuring step of measuring the weight of the remaining raw material crystal rods, and a single crystal excluding the cone portion and tail portion of the remaining raw material crystal rods of the single crystal rod that can be theoretically produced from the remaining raw material crystal rods. The theoretical yield of the straight body is calculated from the measured weight, the diameter of the first single crystal before the growth is stopped before the growth is stopped during the crystal growth, and the predetermined standard yield is satisfied, the remaining raw material crystals. To determine the maximum diameter of a single crystal that can be manufactured again using a rod, or if the predetermined reference yield is not satisfied, a determination step to determine that the remaining raw material crystal rod does not produce a single crystal. When the maximum diameter of the re-manufacturable single crystal is determined, a remanufacturing step of manufacturing a single crystal with the maximum diameter of the re-manufacturable single crystal determined using the remaining raw material crystal rods is included. And a method for producing a single crystal.

このように、残りの原料結晶棒の重量に適した、基準歩留りを満たす最大直径の単結晶を製造することで、従来よりも製品歩留りを向上させることができる。また、予め定めた基準歩留りを満たさない場合は単結晶の製造をしないことで従来よりも製造コストを低減することができる。   In this way, by producing a single crystal having a maximum diameter suitable for the weight of the remaining raw material crystal rods and satisfying the standard yield, the product yield can be improved as compared with the conventional one. Further, when the predetermined reference yield is not satisfied, the manufacturing cost can be reduced as compared with the conventional case by not manufacturing the single crystal.

以下、図を参照しながら本発明について実施の形態を説明するが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではない。   Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

例として図1の本発明のシリコン原料結晶棒の再利用のフローを用いて、本発明の単結晶の製造方法を説明する。   As an example, the method for producing a single crystal of the present invention will be described using the flow of reusing a silicon raw material crystal ingot of the present invention in FIG.

まず、本発明の単結晶の製造方法の判定工程における判定基準を作成することができる。ここでは、例えば、図1に示すようなシリコン原料結晶棒の再利用のフローにおいて用いる判定基準を作成することができる。このとき、結晶成長途中で成長を停止する前の最初に製造した単結晶の直径以下で、製造可能な単結晶の直径、及び、基準歩留りとして製造可能な単結晶の直径毎の最低歩留りを予め定めておく(図1のA)。   First, it is possible to create a judgment standard in the judgment step of the method for producing a single crystal of the present invention. Here, for example, a criterion used in the flow of reusing a silicon source crystal ingot as shown in FIG. 1 can be created. At this time, the diameter of the single crystal that can be manufactured first before the growth is stopped in the middle of crystal growth, the diameter of the single crystal that can be manufactured, and the minimum yield for each diameter of the single crystal that can be manufactured as the reference yield are set in advance. Set (A in FIG. 1).

図1の本発明のシリコン原料結晶棒の再利用のフローでは、最初に、結晶成長途中で成長を停止した(図1のB)後の残りの原料結晶棒の重量から製造できる、結晶成長途中で成長を停止する前の最初に製造した単結晶直径の理論歩留りを計算する最初の計算処理を行い(図1のD)、その理論歩留りが予め直径毎に定めた最低歩留り以上の場合は同じ単結晶の直径を再び製造できる単結晶の最大直径に決定し(図1のF)、最低歩留りより小さい場合は単結晶の仮の最大直径を予め定めた製造可能な単結晶の直径のうち1サイズ小さい直径とする最初の判定処理を行う(図1のH)。   In the flow of reusing the silicon raw material crystal rod of the present invention of FIG. 1, first, during the crystal growth, which can be manufactured from the weight of the remaining raw material crystal rod after the growth is stopped during the crystal growth (B of FIG. 1). The first calculation process is performed to calculate the theoretical yield of the diameter of the first single crystal produced before the growth was stopped at (D in FIG. 1). If the theoretical yield is equal to or higher than the minimum yield preset for each diameter, it is the same. The diameter of the single crystal is determined to be the maximum diameter of the single crystal that can be manufactured again (F in FIG. 1), and if the yield is smaller than the minimum yield, the provisional maximum diameter of the single crystal is set to one of the predetermined diameters of the single crystals that can be manufactured. The first determination process for making the diameter smaller is performed (H in FIG. 1).

そして、上記理論歩留りが最低歩留りより小さい場合は、再度、単結晶の仮の最大直径の理論歩留りを計算する計算処理を行い、その理論歩留りが予め直径毎に定めた最低歩留り以上の場合は該直径を再び製造できる単結晶の最大直径とし、最低歩留りより小さい場合は単結晶の仮の最大直径を予め定めた直径のうち更に1サイズ小さい直径に設定し直す判定処理を行う(図1のE)。上記単結晶の仮の最大直径の理論歩留りが最低歩留りより小さい場合は、設定し直した単結晶の仮の最大直径で上記計算処理、上記判定処理を行うことを繰り返す。また、予め定めた最低直径において計算した理論歩留りが最低直径における最低歩留りより小さい場合には製品を製造しない(図1のI)。   Then, if the theoretical yield is smaller than the minimum yield, again, the calculation process to calculate the theoretical yield of the temporary maximum diameter of the single crystal, if the theoretical yield is more than the minimum yield predetermined for each diameter The diameter is defined as the maximum diameter of the single crystal that can be manufactured again, and when the yield is smaller than the minimum yield, the determination processing is performed to reset the temporary maximum diameter of the single crystal to a diameter that is one size smaller than the predetermined diameter (E in FIG. 1). ). When the theoretical yield of the temporary maximum diameter of the single crystal is smaller than the minimum yield, the calculation process and the determination process are repeated with the temporary maximum diameter of the single crystal reset. If the theoretical yield calculated at the predetermined minimum diameter is smaller than the minimum yield at the minimum diameter, the product is not manufactured (I in FIG. 1).

上記のように、単結晶の理論歩留りが、直径毎に定めた最低歩留り以上であるか、直径毎に定めた最低歩留りより小さいかを判定基準にすることができる。   As described above, it is possible to determine whether the theoretical yield of a single crystal is equal to or higher than the minimum yield determined for each diameter or smaller than the minimum yield determined for each diameter.

また、ここで、理論歩留りとは、結晶成長途中で成長を停止した後の残りの原料結晶棒から理論的に製造できる単結晶棒の残りの原料結晶棒に対するコーン部とテール部を除いた単結晶直胴部の歩留りのことである。   Further, here, the theoretical yield means a single crystal rod that is theoretically manufactured from the remaining raw material crystal rods after the growth is stopped during the crystal growth, except for the cone portion and the tail portion for the remaining raw material crystal rods. It is the yield of the straight body of the crystal.

このような方法を用いれば、より簡単で確実に、従来よりも製品歩留りを向上させることができ、また、製造コストを低減することができる。   By using such a method, it is possible to improve the product yield more easily and surely than before, and it is possible to reduce the manufacturing cost.

ただし、残りの原料結晶棒の重量が軽く、例えばコーン部とテール部の重量にも満たないような、明らかに最初に製造した単結晶の直径と同直径では最低歩留りに達しない場合には、最初に製造した製品の直径より小さい直径を仮に単結晶の仮の最大直径と決めて、その直径から上記計算処理、上記判定処理を開始することができる。   However, when the weight of the remaining raw material crystal rod is light, for example, the weight of the cone portion and the tail portion is less than the weight, it is apparent that the minimum yield cannot be reached at the same diameter as the diameter of the initially prepared single crystal, A diameter smaller than the diameter of the initially manufactured product can be temporarily determined as the temporary maximum diameter of the single crystal, and the calculation processing and the determination processing can be started from the diameter.

また、製造可能な単結晶の直径としては、8インチ(直径200mm)、6インチ(直径150mm)、5インチ(直径125mm)、4インチ(直径100mm)、3インチ(直径75mm)、60mm、2インチ(直径50mm)等を選択できるが、製造する製品直径はこの限りではない。   The diameters of the single crystals that can be manufactured are 8 inches (diameter 200 mm), 6 inches (diameter 150 mm), 5 inches (diameter 125 mm), 4 inches (diameter 100 mm), 3 inches (diameter 75 mm), 60 mm, 2 Inches (diameter 50 mm) and the like can be selected, but the product diameter to be manufactured is not limited to this.

このように、予め定めた判定基準を用いて、本発明の単結晶の製造方法を図1のフローに従ってあらためて説明する。実際にFZ法による単結晶の製造を行う。そして、停電、地震等の理由で成長途中で成長を停止した場合に(図1のB)、残りのシリコン原料結晶棒の重量を測定する測定工程を行う(図1のC)。   In this way, the method for producing a single crystal of the present invention will be described again according to the flow of FIG. 1, using the predetermined determination criteria. A single crystal is actually manufactured by the FZ method. Then, when the growth is stopped during the growth due to a power outage, an earthquake or the like (B in FIG. 1), a measurement step of measuring the weight of the remaining silicon raw material crystal ingot is performed (C in FIG. 1).

次に、単結晶直胴部の理論歩留りを測定した重量から計算し、結晶成長途中で成長を停止する前の最初に製造した単結晶の直径以下で、予め定めた基準歩留りを満たす、残りの原料結晶棒を用いて再び製造できる単結晶の最大直径を決定する(図1のD、E、F)、又は、予め定めた基準歩留りを満たさない場合は、前記残りの原料結晶棒では単結晶の製造をしないことを決定する(図1のD、E、H、I)判定工程を行う。   Next, the theoretical yield of the single crystal straight body is calculated from the measured weight, and is less than or equal to the diameter of the first single crystal produced before stopping the growth in the course of crystal growth, and the predetermined reference yield is satisfied. Determine the maximum diameter of a single crystal that can be produced again using the raw material crystal rods (D, E, F in FIG. 1), or if the predetermined reference yield is not satisfied, the remaining raw material crystal rods are single crystals. Is determined (D, E, H, I in FIG. 1).

判定工程では、例えば、上記のように、まず、仮に決めた直径を単結晶の仮の最大直径として、その直径の理論歩留りを計算する計算処理を行う(図1のD)。そして、その直径の予め定めた最低歩留りと比較して(図1のE)、最低歩留り以上の場合は、その直径を再び製造できる単結晶の最大直径とし(図1のF)、最低歩留りより小さい場合には、その直径より1サイズ小さい直径を仮の最大直径に設定し直す判定処理を行い(図1のH)、再び理論歩留りを計算して上記と同様の比較を行う。このように計算処理と判定処理を繰り返して、製造可能な単結晶の直径の最低直径でも最低歩留りに達しない場合には、残りの原料結晶棒を用いた単結晶の製造は行わないと決定することができる(図1のI)。   In the determination step, for example, as described above, first, the temporarily determined diameter is set as the temporary maximum diameter of the single crystal, and the theoretical yield of the diameter is calculated (D in FIG. 1). Then, in comparison with a predetermined minimum yield of the diameter (E in FIG. 1), when the yield is equal to or higher than the minimum yield, the diameter is set as the maximum diameter of a single crystal that can be manufactured again (F in FIG. 1), and the minimum yield is calculated. If it is smaller than the diameter, a determination process for resetting the diameter smaller by one size to the temporary maximum diameter is performed (H in FIG. 1), the theoretical yield is calculated again, and the same comparison as above is performed. By repeating the calculation process and the determination process in this way, if the minimum yield of the single crystal diameter that cannot be produced does not reach the minimum yield, it is determined that the single crystal production using the remaining raw material crystal ingot is not performed. It is possible (I in FIG. 1).

判定工程において、再び製造できる単結晶の最大直径を決定した場合には、残りの原料結晶棒を用いて、決定した再び製造できる単結晶の最大直径で単結晶を製造する再製造工程を行う(図1のG)。   In the determination step, when the maximum diameter of the re-manufacturable single crystal is determined, the re-manufacturing step of manufacturing the single crystal with the determined maximum diameter of the re-manufacturable single crystal is performed using the remaining raw material crystal rods ( FIG. 1G).

残りの原料結晶棒を用いて単結晶の再製造工程を行う方法は、一般的なFZ法による単結晶の製造方法を用いることができる。   As a method of performing a single crystal remanufacturing process using the remaining raw material crystal rods, a general FZ method single crystal manufacturing method can be used.

FZ法では、単結晶棒を所望の直径まで拡げながら成長させるコーン工程、コーン形成後、単結晶棒を一定直径に制御して成長させる直胴工程を経て、単結晶製造が行われる。再製造工程では、コーン工程において、単結晶の直径を、上記判定工程において決定した再び製造できる単結晶の最大直径まで拡げ、この直径の単結晶を成長させる。   In the FZ method, a single crystal is manufactured through a cone step of growing a single crystal rod while expanding it to a desired diameter, and a straight body step of growing the single crystal rod at a constant diameter after growing the cone. In the remanufacturing step, in the cone step, the diameter of the single crystal is expanded to the maximum diameter of the single crystal that can be remanufactured, which has been determined in the determination step, and the single crystal having this diameter is grown.
