られている。現在工業的に多量生産されている。 BACKGROUND ART - Group compound semiconductors, typified by gallium arsenide, and silicon are used as substrate materials for various semiconductor devices, taking advantage of their unique electrical properties. In order to use a semiconductor material as a substrate for a semiconductor element, it is necessary to control the resistivity to a desired level by introducing or not introducing certain impurities. For this purpose, it is important to reduce as much as possible the incorporation of impurities other than predetermined impurities (hereinafter referred to as residual impurities) into the crystal. In the production of semiconductor materials, the primary problem is the contamination of a melt of a desired material or a solution containing a desired material with residual impurities from a container containing the material. For this reason, containers made of various materials and structures have been considered. These include, for example, quartz, carbon, alumina, boron nitride, silicon nitride, or those in which the inner wall of a quartz or carbon container is coated with silicon carbide, silicon nitride, or boron trioxide. However, industrially, quartz containers are mainly used from the viewpoint of economy and purity of the container material. Currently, it is industrially produced in large quantities.

る。 Quartz containers are used to synthesize and produce crystals of compound semiconductor materials such as gallium phosphide, indium phosphide, and gallium arsenide. As a result, silicon and oxygen are mixed into the semiconductor material as residual impurities, and these residual impurities cause deterioration of device characteristics and make it difficult to manufacture the desired resistivity crystal. It has the disadvantage of being. In addition, in the synthesis and crystal manufacturing of gallium arsenide, it is especially necessary to prevent the contamination of silicon, so in recent years boron nitride (PBN) containers made using the pyrolysis method, which are highly pure and have excellent chemical stability, have been used. , it has the disadvantages of being very expensive and containing a large amount of boron. On the other hand, boron trioxide (B 2 O 3 ) is currently used as an encapsulant to suppress the evaporation of high vapor pressure components in the single crystal growth method using the liquid confinement pulling method for compound semiconductors. It is a glassy substance with a softening point of approximately 450℃.
It has the disadvantage that it cannot be used as a container for synthesizing semiconductor materials or producing crystals because of its low temperature.

This is a characteristic feature.

These are schematic cross-sectional views of the container according to the present invention when applied to the synthesis and single crystal production of gallium arsenide by the Czochralski (LEC) method, with Fig. 1 showing the synthesis stage and Fig. 2 showing the single crystal production stage. . In the figure,
1 is an (internal) crucible made of boron trioxide (B 2 O 3 ), 2 is a quartz crucible, 3 is a capsule (B 2 O 3 ),
4 is a gallium liquid, 5 is arsenic, 6 is a carbon susceptor, 7 is a gallium arsenide single crystal, and 8 is a gallium arsenide melt. To synthesize gallium arsenide and grow a single crystal using such a container,
The insides of the containers 1 and 2 are heated to melt the arsenic 5 and the capsule 3 together with the gallium solution 4 to synthesize a gallium arsenide melt 8. After synthesizing the gallium arsenide melt 8, a seed crystal (not shown) is brought into contact with the gallium arsenide melt to form a gallium arsenide single crystal 7, as shown in FIG.

Since the gallium arsenide does not come into contact with the gallium arsenide single crystal, it will not be mixed into the gallium arsenide single crystal. That is, in the conventional method using a quartz crucible, it was difficult to prevent silicon from being mixed in due to the high reactivity of the gallium solution and quartz, but with the container of the present invention, the temperature range from room temperature to approximately 450°C At higher temperatures, the internal crucible B 2 O 3 crucible 1 and the capsule B 2 O 3 3 melt and form the gallium solution 4 or the gallium arsenide melt 8 in the region 3'.
This prevents contact between the quartz crucible 2 and the melt.

較して約1/10に減少した。 The thickness of the internal crucible 1 was set to 2 mm, a gallium arsenide single crystal was produced according to the above procedure, and impurity analysis was performed using mass spectrometry. As a result, the silicon concentration was 10 14 at/cm 3 or less. , a significantly higher degree of purity was achieved compared to the conventional method, which had a contamination amount of 10 15 to 10 16 at/cm 3 . Also, instead of quartz crucible 2
As a result of similarly producing crystals and analyzing impurities using a PBN crucible, the boron concentration was less than 10 15 at/cm 3 , which was about 1% compared to the contamination amount of about 10 16 at/cm 3 by the conventional method. /10.

として利用することができる。 In the above embodiments, the synthesis and crystal production of gallium arsenide by the direct synthesis LEC method was carried out, but based on the purpose explained above, the crucible according to the present invention can be used to synthesize high purity crystals in the synthesis of other semiconductor materials and crystal production methods. It can be used as a container that can be obtained at low cost.

料および単結晶を得ることができるという利点が
ある。 As explained above, by using a crucible made of B 2 O 3 C as the inner container and a quartz or PBN crucible as the outer container, the molten liquid of the semiconductor material is made of B 2 which is chemically very stable. The crucible of the present invention has the advantage of being able to obtain high-purity semiconductor materials and single crystals, since it contacts only O 3 and avoids contact with containers such as quartz.

つたのを改善することができる。 In addition, in the crucible of the present invention, the outer container and the inner container are manufactured separately, and the inner container is housed inside the outer container, so boron trioxide is coated and adhered to the inside of the conventional outer container. It is possible to improve the low production yield of crucibles due to the large difference in thermal expansion coefficient between boron trioxide and the material such as quartz for the outer container.
