Abstract

PURPOSE:To produce a quartz glass crucible having high heat-resistance to cause little melting loss and durable to the use over a long period and useful for the pulling-up of silicon single crystal by forming a coating film or a solid solution layer containing a crystallization promoting agent on the inner surface of a quartz glass crucible. CONSTITUTION:This quartz glass crucible is produced by coating the inner surface of a quartz glass crucible with a solution produced by dissolving a compound of a group 2a element such as magnesium, strontium, calcium or barium as a crystallization promoting agent in water containing >=20wt.% of an alcohol and drying the coating solution to form a coating layer containing 1-100mug of the group 2a element per 1cm<2> of the layer. As an alternative method, a quartz glass crucible having a solid solution layer containing 0.1-2wt.% of a group 3b element in the inner surface layer of 0.5-1-mm thick is produced by supplying high-purity silica powder in a rotating mold to form a filled layer of silica powder, melting the powder by heating with an arc and, at the same time, supplying a crystallization promoting agent consisting of silica powder doped with aluminum element as a group 3b element and melting and distributing the doped powder.

2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, as the diameter of silicon wafers has increased, the diameter of quartz glass crucibles for pulling single crystals has increased from 18 inches (457.2 mm) to 22 to 24 inches (558.8).
Up to 609.6 mm), which is becoming the mainstream today. The inner surface of the quartz glass crucible for pulling a single crystal has a function of coming into contact with a silicon melt and melting by reacting with silicon, or transferring heat from an external carbon heater to the silicon melt. . With the increase in diameter of this quartz glass crucible for pulling a single crystal, the inner wall of the crucible separates from the single crystal and its heat load becomes large. For example, when pulling an 8-inch crystal, the temperature of the molten surface is higher than that of a 6-inch crystal. Is higher than 5 ° C and the melting rate of the inner surface of the crucible is increased by 50% or more. The amount of melting loss is increased, the inner surface of the crucible is roughened, the long-term use of the crucible becomes difficult, and the cost of the single crystal is increased. It was In order to solve these problems, a method of coating the inner surface of the crucible with a ceramic of carbide or nitride is disclosed in JP-A-1-14170, and a so-called glass-ceramic crucible in which cristobalite is mixed in quartz glass is disclosed in JP-A-5-170. It was proposed in Japanese Patent No. 24870. However, in the former crucible, the coating ceramics were peeled off when pulling the single crystal, and it was not possible to satisfactorily reduce the melting loss amount. Further, the latter crucible has a drawback that the amount of melting loss is almost the same as that of the conventional crucible.

When the crystallization accelerator is a group 2a element, a solution of the compound is added to the inner surface of the crucible so that the concentration of the group 2a element is 1 to 100 μg, preferably 10 per cm 2 of the coating film.
A coating film is formed by coating so as to be in the range of 50 μg. As a result, the group 2a element diffuses and permeates into the crucible at the time of heating for pulling the single crystal to form a crystal layer in a depth range of 0.5 to 1 mm, thereby reducing the amount of melting damage on the inner wall of the crucible, and for a long time of the crucible. Enables use. If the abundance of the 2a group element is less than the above range, there is little effect of crystal formation, and if it is more than the above range, the number of crystals is too large and the crystals are separated during pulling of the silicon single crystal, and the crystallization rate of the single crystal is increased.

When the crystallization accelerator is a Group 3b element, it does not cause diffusion and permeation by heating even if it is coated with a coating liquid containing the above element, so it is preferable to make it exist in the layer in a solid solution state. . As the solid solution layer, for example, JP-A-1-14871.

If the Group 3b element is present in the range of up to 2% by weight, a crystal layer is formed during heating such as pulling of the silicon single crystal, and the amount of melting damage on the inner wall of the crucible decreases. Aluminum is preferable as the Group 3b element. If the group 3b element in the solid solution layer is less than the above range, there is little effect of crystal formation, and if the amount exceeds the above range, the amount of crystals is too large and peeling occurs due to the difference in the coefficient of thermal expansion from the crucible, It hinders the crystallization rate of silicon single crystals.

It is less likely to be melted down even by a long-time pulling method such as a method or a continuous filling method.

Example 1 A silica sol was prepared by adding an aqueous solution of aluminum chloride using silicon tetraethoxide as a main raw material and adjusting the concentration and PH. This was baked at 1,000 ° C. and then pulverized and sized to obtain silicon dioxide powder having an average particle diameter of 125 μm and containing 1% by weight of aluminum element. High-purity natural quartz powder is molded in a mold rotating around a vertical axis and heated from the inner surface by an electric arc to produce a quartz glass crucible substrate with an 18-inch diameter. Subsequently, the aluminum dope is added to the arc flame. The silicon dioxide powder was gradually supplied to form a quartz glass layer having a thickness of 1 mm inside the crucible substrate. The glass layer was a slightly opaque quartz glass layer which was firmly fused to the substrate. When a silicon single crystal was pulled up using this crucible, it was crystallized by a thickness (1 mm) doped with aluminum element, and thus was hardly melted in the molten silicon. It was possible to carry out pulling 10 times by using the so-called multi-pulling method in which the operation of adding polycrystalline silicon and pulling the crystal again was repeated.

Example 2 A solution having the composition shown in Table 1 was gradually poured into a high-purity quartz glass crucible having a diameter of 18 inches. At this time, the crucible was rotated while changing the inclination of the rotation axis, and was subjected to a so-called "rubbing motion" to apply the solution to the entire inner surface. The solution was initially clear but slightly cloudy before drying. This is probably because it reacts with carbon dioxide in the air and partly changes to barium carbonate. While continuing to blow warm air, the quartz glass crucible was continuously rubbed and completely dried to form a quartz glass crucible having an elemental surface of barium. The coating amount was 50 μg per cm 2 . A polycrystalline silicon block was put into this crucible and then heated to melt the silicon, and a silicon single crystal was pulled from the melt. It was possible to carry out the multi-pulling method 10 times. Later, when the inner surface of the crucible was observed, a thick crystal layer having a thickness of 0.8 mm covered the entire inner surface, and the thickness of the entire crucible was hardly reduced.

EFFECTS OF THE INVENTION The quartz glass crucible of the present invention has a crystal layer formed inside the crucible at the time of use and has improved heat resistance. For example, even if a silicon single crystal is pulled up under reduced pressure, the inner surface becomes rough. Instead, the smoothness is maintained. The quartz glass crucible of the present invention can be manufactured by a simple method of forming a 2a group element-containing coating film or a 3b group element-containing solid solution layer on the inner surface thereof, which is an industrially advantageous manufacturing method.
