The present invention is applicable to electric furnaces, in particular to vapor phase synthesis of semiconductor materials and other various compound materials, vapor phase growth of single crystals thereof, epitaxial growth in vapor phase and liquid phase, solidification method and solution precipitation method. This article relates to an electric furnace suitable for use in single crystal growth, etc. Conventional electric furnaces of this type include: (1) electric furnaces that use refractory materials such as bricks and kaoru as insulation; (2) direct-visible electric furnaces with radiant insulation using gold infrared reflective coatings called gold furnaces; The furnace is known. However, since the electric furnace described in (1) above uses a refractory material such as brick or kaol as its insulation material, the inside of the furnace cannot be directly observed, and the heat capacity of the refractory material is large, so rapid heating, cooling, etc. It is impossible to control rapid temperature changes, and this method is extremely inconvenient for applications that require control of complex processes, such as gas phase and liquid phase epitaxial growth. In addition, although the electric furnace described in (2) above has the advantage of being directly visible, the gap between the transparent heat-resistant material with a double structure is not kept airtight, so the gap is exposed to the atmosphere, and as a result, conduction and convection Great heat dissipation,
As a result, they had the disadvantage of insufficient heat retention and rapid heating properties. The present invention was made to eliminate the above-mentioned drawbacks of conventional electric furnaces.The purpose of the present invention is to enable direct viewing of the inside of the heating section, to control rapid temperature changes such as rapid heating and cooling, and to provide heat insulation and heat retention. Excellent quality,
To provide an electric furnace that consumes less power. Next, an embodiment of the electric furnace of the present invention will be described based on FIG. The heat generating part consists of a spirally wound Kanthal wire resistor 1 and a ring 2 made of hard asbestos that supports it. The outside of this heating part is connected to an inner tube 3 made of transparent quartz glass, which is a transparent heat-resistant material.
It is surrounded by a double tube consisting of an outer tube 4 made of transparent Pyrex glass. A gap 7 between the two tubes is connected and maintained in an airtight manner by metal flanges 5 at both ends of the tubes. 6 and 8 are a vacuum exhaust pipe 6 and a gas introduction pipe 8 provided on the flange 5. By evacuating the inside of the gap 7 with a vacuum pump through the evacuation pipe 6, it can be brought into a vacuum state of 10 -2 mmHg or more and act as a heat insulating layer, and a gas such as argon for heat transfer can be introduced through the gas introduction pipe 8. This allows it to function as a heat dissipation layer. 9
is a vapor-deposited gold thin film as a selectively permeable membrane coated on the outside of the inner tube 3, which acts as a thermal radiation insulator. A cooling pipe 10 is attached to the flange 5 and serves to prevent the flange 5 from overheating. As the heating resistor 1, in addition to Kanthal wire,
Any heating element such as nichrome wire or siliconite can be used. In addition to Pyrex glass and quartz glass, the inner tube 3 and outer tube 4 may be made of transparent heat-resistant materials such as transparent alumina. In addition to the gold thin film, the selectively transparent film coated on the outside of the inner tube 3 includes a thin film of tin oxide, a thin film of indium oxide, and a thin film of tungsten oxide, which have the function of reflecting infrared rays and transmitting visible light. Any thin film that has the same properties can be used in the same way. In addition to argon gas, heat transfer gases include
Nitrogen gas, helium gas, etc. can also be used in the same manner. In the electric furnace of the present invention, the outside of the heating part is airtightly surrounded by a transparent heat-resistant material having at least a double structure, and the gap between the transparent heat-resistant materials in the multilayer structure is 10 -2
It is configured to be able to create a vacuum of ~10 -7 mmHg, and to introduce appropriate gas into the gap, and the heated part is made of a selective light-transmitting film that reflects infrared rays and transmits visible light. It is in an electric furnace that is characterized by being covered. According to the electric furnace of the present invention, (1) it is transparent to visible light because it employs a vacuum insulation layer formed of a multilayered structure of transparent heat-resistant materials and radiation insulation using a selective light-transmitting film; Therefore, it is possible to see through the inside of the furnace during heating, and it is possible to dynamically observe the reaction system and crystal growth system progressing inside the furnace, and it is easy to control these systems. Moreover, this advantage becomes even more remarkable when this electric furnace is used under blue light illumination. (2) Excellent thermal insulation properties due to insulation provided by a vacuum insulation layer and a radiation insulation layer made of a selectively permeable membrane, resulting in low power consumption and high economic efficiency. (3) Furthermore, because of the above structure, the heat capacity is small, and gas introduction and vacuum exhaust are possible, so it has excellent rapid heating and cooling effects. Therefore, rapid changes to the desired temperature can be followed extremely quickly. A comparison of the power consumption and rapid heating characteristics of the electric furnace of the present invention and a conventional gold furnace was as follows.
