Description of the invention ί 2) 55❶ Here, if the diameter of the large circular plate portion 54 is larger than the inner diameter of the annular portion 34 of the base plate 32, the male screw member 51 can be prevented from passing through the annular hole portion of the base plate 32 37. On the other hand, if the diameter of the small circular plate portion 55 and the inner diameter of the annular portion 34 of the base plate 32 are substantially the same, the annular hole portion 37 of the base plate 32 can be fitted, and the male thread can be reliably performed by the coupling. The positioning of the member 51 to the wafer boat 30. A shaft portion 56 formed with a male screw is protruded from the lower surface of the small disc portion 55. Further, a female screw member 52 is formed in the thermal insulation tube 40, and a female screw 57 is formed so as to be screwable with the male screw of the shaft portion 56, and the male screw member 51 can be screwed through the thermal insulation tube insertion member 53. Here, the outer diameter of the female screw member 52 is smaller than the inner diameter of the annular portion 45 of the heat-retaining cylinder 40. A thermal insulation tube insertion member 53 is inserted between the pillars 43 of the thermal insulation tube 40 approximately horizontally. The heat-insulating barrel insertion member 53 is provided with a shaft portion insertion hole 58 into which the shaft portion 56 can be inserted. Here, the length of the heat-insulating tube insertion member 53 in the longitudinal direction is larger than the diameter of the annular hole portion 49 as the second opening portion of the heat-insulating tube 40. If the length of the heat-insulating tube insertion member 53 in the longitudinal direction is larger than the diameter of the annular hole portion 49 of the heat-insulating tube 40, the male thread of the shaft portion 56 that has protruded from the shaft-insertion insertion hole 58 of the heat-insulating tube insertion member 53 can be used. After screwing with the female threaded member 52, both ends of the heat-insulating cylinder inserting member 53 are locked under the top plate 41 of the heat-insulating cylinder 40, and the wafer boat 30 and the heat-insulating cylinder 40 are fixed. Here, the male screw member 51 is preferably formed of the same material as at least one of the bottom plate 32 of the wafer boat 30 and the top plate 41 of the thermal insulation tube 40. The reason is that if the male screw member 51 is formed of a material having a smaller thermal expansion coefficient than that of the bottom plate 32 and the top plate 41, the bottom plate 32 and the top plate 41 are thermally expanded in the axial direction of the shaft portion 56, which may cause stress on the shaft portion 56.

The reason is that forming the male screw member 51 with a material having a large thermal expansion coefficient can reduce the stress of the shaft portion 56 more than a material with a small thermal expansion coefficient. In addition, if the bottom plate 32 of the wafer boat 30, the top plate 41 of the thermal insulation tube 40, and the male screw member 51 can be formed of the same material, the stress of the shaft portion 56 can be further reduced, so it will be more suitable. In addition to 32, etc., if the female threaded member 52 and the insulation tube insertion member 53 are also formed of the same material, the stress of the shaft portion 56 can be minimized, so this is the most suitable. In addition, if the thermal expansion coefficient is higher than that of the bottom plate 32 and the top plate If the male screw member 51 is formed of a material with a large material of 41, the fixing force may decrease due to the expansion in the axial direction of the shaft portion 56.

Next, the male threaded member 51 is inserted into the male threaded member insertion hole 58 on the thermal insulation tube insertion member 53 which has been inserted approximately horizontally between the pillars 43 of the thermal insulation tube 40 from the annular portion 34 side of the wafer boat 30. Furthermore, the male screw member 51 inserted into the male screw member insertion hole 58 and the female screw member 52 are screwed. By this screw connection, the crystal boat 30 and the heat insulation tube 40 can be fixed, and they can be placed in a freely detachable state. As mentioned above, the wafer boat 30, the heat preservation tube 40, and the wafer boat fixing member 50 are used for fixing, and even if it is mounted or unloaded in the standby tube and in the reaction tube, the Chinese paper standard (CNS) A4 (210X297 mm) is applicable for this paper size. ) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) -Order 丨 46- 502299 A7 ___ B7_ V.

(Fourth embodiment) Hereinafter, a fourth embodiment of the present invention will be described. In this embodiment, the thermal insulation tube and the crystal boat without the top plate can be fixed, and the thermal insulation tube holder can be used for fixing. The 19th model shows a partial cross-sectional view of the crystal boat 310, the thermal insulation tube 320, the thermal insulation tube holder 330, and the thermal insulation tube mounting table 34 in this embodiment. The 20th (A) to (B) circles are enlarged views of the small circles A4 and B4 of the 19th circle, respectively. In addition, in order to facilitate observation and understanding, the 20th (B) circle differs from FIG. 19 in the state when the male screw member 37, which will be described later, is inserted into the ridge 333. As shown in FIG. 19, the thermal insulation tube mounting table I 340, the thermal insulation tube holder 330, and the thermal insulation tube 32 are mounted on the skull 350, the thermal insulation tube mounting table 340, the thermal insulation tube holder 330, and the thermal insulation tube 320, respectively. 〇, Crystal boat 31. The wafer boat 31 has a pillar 311 and a bottom plate 312. The top plate has been omitted from the illustration. The thermal insulation tube 32 is composed of a pillar 321, a plurality of rain fins 322 fixed on the pillar 321, and a 'plate 323' formed with the pillar 321- 馥, and does not have a top plate. _ On the bottom plate 312 and the upper end of the pillar 321 of the wafer boat 310, there are correspondingly formed through holes 313 and recessed portions 314, dished cavities 324 and protruding portions 325, respectively. The bottom plate 312 and the pillar 321 are fixed by a male member 360 serving as a substrate holding element fixing member through a through hole and a cut hole. The male media pattern member 36 is composed of a slightly circular plate-shaped head 361 and a car part 362, and the shaft part 362 is composed of a cylindrical connection part 363 and a corrugated part 364 with a smaller diameter than the connection part 363.

Description of the invention fe) Constituted by. The connecting portion 363 can be inserted through the through hole 313, and the lower end thereof is in direct contact with the upper end of the pillar 321. The length dl of the connecting portion 363 is larger than the thickness d2 of the plate 312. Therefore, a gap of thickness A d (= dl-d2) is formed between the head 361 and the bottom plate 312. The thickness Δd is, for example, 1 mm or less. This is to prevent damage caused by the thermal expansion of each component. Set by. The stress caused by this thermal expansion becomes more problematic when the material of each member is different. For example, the bottom plate 312 is formed of silicon carbide (SiC), and the pillars 321 and male screw members 360 are formed of quartz. "Since the thermal expansion rate of silicon carbide is greater than that of quartz, the thickness of the bottom plate 312 is high once it is formed at a high temperature. d2 will expand at a ratio larger than the length dl of the connecting portion 363. Therefore, if the bottom plate 312 and the head portion 361 are not aged at normal temperature, a large thermal stress will be applied between the bottom plate 312 and the head portion 361 during heating, and any one of the bottom plate 312 and the male screw member 360 may be damaged. The thickness of the gap Δ (! Is determined by considering the thermal expansion. In addition, only a part of the plurality of pillars 321 may be fixed to the base plate 312. For example, when the number of pillars 321 is four, even if the male screw member 360 is used, Three of them are fixed to the bottom plate 312 without fixing the remaining one pillar 321 to the male screw member 360. The thermal insulation tube 320 and the thermal tube mounting base 340 are the male screw member 370 as the thermal tube fixing member through the thermal tube holder 330. ❶ As the fixing pin 380 of the fixing member of the heat-insulating tube mounting platform, the heat-insulating tube holder 330 is composed of a substantially circular plate-shaped base body 331 and a substantially flat plate-shaped outer peripheral portion 332 of the base body 331-body. The outer peripheral portion 332 is formed with a threaded hole 333 having openings on the upper and lower sides and a through hole 334 that can penetrate the outer and inner circumferences. The threaded hole 333 applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210X297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling in this page) • Hit · 4 -32 · 502299 A7 _B7_ V.

The locking pin 380 is composed of a substantially cylindrical body 381 and a substantially cylindrical concave portion 382 (dropped portion) formed on the bottom surface near the center of the body. The heat-retaining-tube mounting table 340 is formed with a recessed portion 341 having an opening on a side surface thereof. The assembling method of the insulation tube mounting platform 340, the insulation tube holder 330, and the insulation tube 320 will be explained in (1) and (2) below. (1) The insulation tube mounting platform 340 is placed on the insulation tube mounting platform 340. In this state, the locking pin 380 is inserted into the through hole 334 and inserted into the recess 341. As a result, the heat-insulating tube mounting table 340 and the heat-insulating tube holder 330 can be fixed. At this time, the concave portion 382 of the locking pin 380 is arranged at a position corresponding to the opening portion of the screw hole 333. (2) Next, in the state where the bottom plate 323 of the heat insulation tube 320 is placed on the heat insulation tube holder 330, the male thread member 370 is screwed into the thread hole 333 of the heat insulation tube holder 330 to make the bottom surface of the head 371 The upper edge of the bottom plate 323 is directly in contact with the periphery. As a result, the bottom plate 323 of the thermal insulation tube 320 and the thermal insulation tube holder 330 can be fixed. At this time, the locking portion 374 of the male screw member 370 is inserted into the concave portion 382 of the locking pin 380. As a result, the locking pin 380 cannot be released from the through hole 334. That is, the male screw member 370 has the function of preventing the locking pin 380 from being loosened in addition to the fixing of the heat insulation tube 320 and the heat insulation tube holder 330. By performing the above procedures, the heat insulation tube 320 and the heat insulation tube holder 330 can be made. And the heat preservation tube mounting table 340 is firmly fixed to each other, so that they can be loaded and unloaded freely.
