Description

用於藉由化學氣相沉積製程生產材料的沉積匣盒a deposition cassette for producing materials by a chemical vapor deposition process

本發明係關於化學氣相沉積製程之領域,且尤關於用於藉由化學氣相沉積製程生產材料的沉積匣盒。This invention relates to the field of chemical vapor deposition processes, and more particularly to deposition cassettes for the production of materials by chemical vapor deposition processes.

2009年10月22日申請之美國第12/597,151號專利申請案(’151專利申請案)係說明西門子反應器之限制,包含:U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 12/597,151, filed on Oct. 22, 2009, the &apos

1、多晶矽條棒之低平均表面積導致低體積沉積率及由此導致低西門子反應器生產率(以經歷一段特定時間所生產之多晶矽質量測量之,通常為每年的公噸數);1. The low average surface area of the polycrystalline bar has resulted in a low volume deposition rate and thus a low Siemens reactor productivity (measured as the mass metric of the polycrystalline germanium produced over a specified period of time, typically metric tons per year);

2、表面積對多晶矽條棒之體積之低比率,其為了保持達到有意義之沉積體積而延長時間之沉積所需之表面溫度導致高能量消耗;以及2. a low ratio of surface area to the volume of the polycrystalline bar, which in order to maintain a meaningful deposition volume, the surface temperature required for deposition for a prolonged period of time results in high energy consumption;

3、條棒採收製程之勞動密集及易於汙染的本質。3. The labor-intensive and easily polluting nature of the bar harvesting process.

說明於’151專利申請案之發明藉由提供高表面積電氣加熱之沉積板克服上述前兩個限制。經由CVD製程以高體積率將矽沉積在這些沉積板上然後藉由額外加熱沉積板而予以回收。此額外加熱造成在沉積板界面上沉積之多晶矽的非常薄層液化,可以機械力或重力自沉積板拉開沉積之多晶矽的固體外殼。相對於使用習知種子條棒,在西門子反應器中使用大尺寸沉積板增加反應器的生產率,而使用小尺寸沉積板減少反應器的能量消耗同時保持相對於使用種子條棒之相同生產率。The invention described in the '151 patent application overcomes the first two limitations described above by providing a deposition plate that provides high surface area electrical heating. Bismuth is deposited on these deposition plates at a high volume rate via a CVD process and then recovered by additional heating of the deposition plates. This additional heating causes a very thin layer of liquefaction of the polycrystalline germanium deposited on the interface of the deposition plate, which can be pulled mechanically or by gravity from the deposition plate to open the solid outer shell of the deposited polycrystalline silicon. The use of large size deposition plates in a Siemens reactor increases the productivity of the reactor relative to the use of conventional seed bars, while the use of small size deposition plates reduces the energy consumption of the reactor while maintaining the same productivity relative to the use of seed bars.

然而,單獨使用沉積板無法解決上述採收製程之勞動密集及易於汙染之本質的第三限制。為了克服此限制,說明於’151專利申請案之發明亦提供一種與沉積板一起使用之新沉積反應器,其中在反應器內部可發生沉積及回收兩者。However, the use of a deposition plate alone does not address the third limitation of the labor intensive and prone to contamination nature of the above-described harvesting process. In order to overcome this limitation, the invention of the '151 patent application also provides a new deposition reactor for use with a deposition plate in which both deposition and recovery can occur within the reactor.

儘管其較習知種子條棒具有顯著優勢,說明於’151專利申請案之沉積板本身遭遇某些限制。雖然’151專利申請案點出許多建構這些沉積板之適合材料如鎢、氮化矽、碳化矽、石墨、合金、複合材、及其混合物,但其說明這些沉積板為數毫米厚及達至數米之長度和高度。其進一步說明這些沉積板藉由連接負電極至沉積板之一端且連接正電極至另一端而通電。Although it has significant advantages over conventional seed bars, it is shown that the deposition plate itself of the '151 patent application itself encounters certain limitations. Although the '151 patent application points out many suitable materials for constructing these deposition plates such as tungsten, tantalum nitride, tantalum carbide, graphite, alloys, composites, and mixtures thereof, it is stated that these deposition plates are several millimeters thick and up to several The length and height of the meter. It further illustrates that these deposition plates are energized by connecting the negative electrode to one end of the deposition plate and connecting the positive electrode to the other end.

該種配置,由於短路而難以將電流流動平均地分佈在整個沉積板的截面積,因此難以達到將整個沉積板表面平均加熱至所要的溫度。此短路僅在沉積板之未絕緣表面上所沉積之材料為半導體如多晶矽(其在高溫時為導電者)時加重。因此沉積板之有效沉積表面積小於沉積板之總沉積表面積(雖然依然比多晶矽條棒之平均沉積表面積高相當多)。由於沉積率,亦即,生產率係與平均沉積表面積成正比,可容納這些沉積板之總尺寸之反應器的生產率沒有最大化,因為沉積表面積對總表面積的比率沒有最大化。在該種生產率操作之反應器結果產生沒有達最小化之生產成本。With this configuration, it is difficult to evenly distribute the current flow across the entire deposition plate due to the short circuit, so it is difficult to achieve an average heating of the entire deposition plate surface to a desired temperature. This short circuit is only exacerbated when the material deposited on the uninsulated surface of the deposition plate is a semiconductor such as a polysilicon which is electrically conductive at high temperatures. Thus the effective deposition surface area of the deposition plate is less than the total deposition surface area of the deposition plate (although still much higher than the average deposition surface area of the polycrystalline bar). Since the deposition rate, that is, the productivity is proportional to the average deposition surface area, the productivity of the reactor that can accommodate the total size of these deposition plates is not maximized because the ratio of deposition surface area to total surface area is not maximized. The result of reactor operation at this type of production yields production costs that are not minimized.

在外殼回收期間亦牽連沉積板在其整個表面積無法 達到最佳沉積溫度。沉積板之有些面積可能達到比最佳沉積溫度低之溫度但依然高到足以使一些外殼形成。在外殼回收期間,或許不可能對沉積板快速地將這些面積加熱至或高於材料的熔點,導致適當加熱面積中之外殼過度熔化,或者導致僅有部份拆卸及回收。最後,這些沉積板沒有防止沉積在可能妨礙外殼分離之表面上的固定機制。The deposition plate is also implicated in the entire surface area during shell recovery The optimum deposition temperature is reached. Some areas of the deposition plate may reach temperatures lower than the optimum deposition temperature but still high enough to allow some of the outer casing to form. During recovery of the outer casing, it may not be possible to rapidly heat these areas to or above the melting point of the material for the deposition plate, resulting in over-melting of the outer casing in the proper heating area or resulting in only partial disassembly and recovery. Finally, these deposition plates do not prevent deposition on the surface that may interfere with the separation of the outer casing.

本發明藉由提供一種具有大沉積表面積之電氣加熱沉積匣盒,其係由分佈條棒及固體沉積板所構成或者單獨由迴紋波形沉積板所構成,且可併入電氣絕緣層或隔片而克服上述沉積板之限制。所要用量之電流可分佈在沉積匣盒之整個所要之截面積,使得可達到所要之溫度且保持在沉積匣盒之所有所要的表面上。The present invention provides an electrically heated deposition cassette having a large deposition surface area, which is composed of a distribution bar and a solid deposition plate or a separate corrugated wave deposition plate, and can be incorporated into an electrical insulation layer or a separator. And overcome the limitations of the above deposition plate. The desired amount of current can be distributed throughout the desired cross-sectional area of the deposition cassette so that the desired temperature can be achieved and maintained on all desired surfaces of the deposition cassette.

藉由將所要用量之電流分佈在整個所要之截面積及適當之絕緣而達成所要之溫度在所有所要之表面上的能力使得沉積匣盒具有相對於其總表面積最大化之有效沉積表面積。此使得其中可容納沉積匣盒之反應器的生產率達到最大,因此使生產成本達對最小。材料外殼的回收藉由沉積匣盒之同時加熱特性及其除了外部冷卻以外之選擇性加熱而限制阻礙表面上的沉積而予以簡化。The ability to achieve the desired temperature on all desired surfaces by distributing the desired amount of current throughout the desired cross-sectional area and proper insulation allows the deposition cassette to have an effective deposition surface area that is maximized relative to its total surface area. This maximizes the productivity of the reactor in which the deposition cassette can be accommodated, thus minimizing production costs. The recovery of the material shell is simplified by the simultaneous heating characteristics of the deposition cassette and its selective heating in addition to external cooling to limit deposition on the obstructing surface.

這些沉積匣盒可以任何沉積反應器以任何量使用之,包含取代種子條棒之西門子反應器,且可以任何方向定向,包含垂直及/或水平。可藉由首先採收結殼之沉積匣盒而在反應器中或反應器外部達成經由額外加熱沉積匣盒而 自沉積匣盒拆卸外殼使得在沉積匣盒界面之外殼薄層液化。然後可經由施加任何力,包含重力或機械力自沉積匣盒完全地分離外殼。沉積匣盒的用途及好處可延伸至可經由CVD製程生產之所有材料,包含但不限於多晶矽。These deposition cassettes can be used in any amount by any deposition reactor, including a Siemens reactor that replaces the seed bars, and can be oriented in any orientation, including vertical and/or horizontal. The deposition of the cassette via additional heating can be achieved in the reactor or outside the reactor by first collecting the crusted deposition cassette. The self-depositing cassette removes the outer casing to liquefy the thin layer of the outer casing at the deposition cassette interface. The outer casing can then be completely separated from the deposition cassette by applying any force, including gravity or mechanical force. The uses and benefits of the deposition cassette can be extended to all materials that can be produced via a CVD process, including but not limited to polysilicon.

一種具有大沉積表面積之電氣加熱沉積匣盒,係由分佈條棒及固體沉積板所構成或者單獨由迴紋波形沉積板所構成,且可併入電氣絕緣層或隔片。所要用量之電流可分佈在沉積匣盒之整個所要之截面積,使得可達到所要之溫度且保持在沉積匣盒之所有所要的表面上。An electrically heated deposition cassette having a large deposition surface area, consisting of a distribution bar and a solid deposition plate or a separate corrugated wave deposition plate, and may be incorporated into an electrical insulation layer or a separator. The desired amount of current can be distributed throughout the desired cross-sectional area of the deposition cassette so that the desired temperature can be achieved and maintained on all desired surfaces of the deposition cassette.

沉積匣盒係使用於經由化學氣相沉積(“CVD”)製程生產材料,包含但不限於多晶矽。在CVD製程中,使含有欲生產之材料分子或原子之沉積氣體混合物與加熱之沉積表面接觸,其造成這些分子或原子自沉積氣體混合物分裂開而沉積至沉積表面上。The deposition cassette is used to produce materials via a chemical vapor deposition ("CVD") process, including but not limited to polysilicon. In a CVD process, a deposition gas mixture containing molecules or atoms of material to be produced is contacted with a heated deposition surface which causes these molecules or atoms to separate from the deposition gas mixture and deposit onto the deposition surface.

這些沉積表面通常係為欲生產之材料之薄種子條棒狀。當其上沉積愈來愈多材料時這些條棒變得愈來愈大,終至完成生產。然而,這些條棒之低平均沉積表面積限制可容納其最終尺寸之反應器的生產率,此乃由於生產率與平均沉積表面積成正比之故。使用大量原料之大反應器且應用於生產小量產物,導致高生產成本。These deposition surfaces are typically thin strips of rods of the material to be produced. As the more and more materials are deposited on them, these bars become larger and larger, and the production is completed. However, the low average deposition surface area of these bars limits the productivity of the reactors that can accommodate their final size because productivity is directly proportional to the average deposition surface area. Large reactors using large amounts of raw materials and used to produce small quantities of products result in high production costs.

已提出具有大表面積之電氣加熱沉積板以克服種子條棒的限制,但其沒有提供將所要用量之電流分佈在整個其所要之截面積或其表面的絕緣。結果這些沉積板變成短路,特別是在其表面上建構導電沉積材料層,及其有效之 沉積表面積小於其總表面積時,再次侷限其中可容納其總尺寸之反應器的生產率,雖然其產生率依然顯著地高於備有種子條棒之反應器者。再者,因無法同時將沉積表面之所有的點加熱至或高於材料的熔點並防止在沉積板表面沉積(其會阻礙經由外部冷卻以外之外殼的分離)而使材料之沉積外殼的回收(其係藉由將沉積表面的溫度增加至或高於材料的熔點,使得沉積表面界面上的材料薄層液化而外殼自沉積板拆卸予以達成之)變複雜。Electrically heated deposition plates having a large surface area have been proposed to overcome the limitations of seed bars, but they do not provide insulation that distributes the desired amount of current throughout its desired cross-sectional area or its surface. As a result, these deposition plates become short-circuited, in particular, a layer of conductive deposition material is constructed on the surface thereof, and is effective When the deposition surface area is less than its total surface area, the productivity of the reactor in which it can accommodate its overall size is again limited, although its production rate is still significantly higher than that of a reactor equipped with a seed bar. Furthermore, the recovery of the deposition shell of the material is prevented by simultaneously heating all points of the deposition surface to or above the melting point of the material and preventing deposition on the surface of the deposition plate which would hinder the separation of the outer casing by external cooling ( It is complicated by increasing the temperature of the deposition surface to or above the melting point of the material, so that the thin layer of material on the deposition surface interface is liquefied and the outer shell is removed from the deposition plate.

藉由將所要用量之電流分佈在整個所要之截面積及適當之絕緣而達成所要之溫度在所有所要之表面上的能力使得沉積匣盒具有相對於其總表面積最大化之有效沉積表面積。此使得其中可容納沉積匣盒之反應器的生產率達到最大,因此使生產成本達對最小。材料外殼的回收藉由沉積匣盒之同時加熱特性及其除了外部冷卻以外之選擇性加熱而限制阻礙表面上的沉積而予以簡化。The ability to achieve the desired temperature on all desired surfaces by distributing the desired amount of current throughout the desired cross-sectional area and proper insulation allows the deposition cassette to have an effective deposition surface area that is maximized relative to its total surface area. This maximizes the productivity of the reactor in which the deposition cassette can be accommodated, thus minimizing production costs. The recovery of the material shell is simplified by the simultaneous heating characteristics of the deposition cassette and its selective heating in addition to external cooling to limit deposition on the obstructing surface.

2009年10月22日申請之美國專利申請案第12/597,151(“151專利申請案”),經由高表面積氣體-固體或氣體-液體界面之高純度矽之沉積及經由液相之回收,其整體併入本專利申請案列為參考。同時申請(其申請號:一知道立即加入)之名稱:用於藉由化學氣相沉積製程生產材料的沉積匣盒之共同申請案,其整體亦併入本申請案列為參考。本專利申請案亦主張2011年7月1日申請之美國第61504148號暫時專利申請案(“148暫時專利申請案”), 生產高純度非晶形及結晶形矽及其它材料的沉積匣盒,以及2011年7月1日申請之美國第61504145號暫時專利申請案(“145暫時專利申請案”),生產高純度非晶形及結晶形矽及其它材料的匣盒反應器的優先權,其兩者整體併入本文。在’151專利申請案中,“沉積板”一詞係定義為其上沉積著矽之表面,但當說明本專利申請案之實際實體元件時為了強化清晰之目的,“沉積表面”係定義為其上沉積著材料之表面,“沉積板”係定義為其上沉積著材料(較佳在兩側面以及一個或多個邊緣上)之實際實體平板(相對其邊緣,在其側面具有顯著更大表面積之物件)。因此沉積板的側面及邊緣皆為沉積表面。“沉積匣盒”一詞係定義為分佈條棒與固體沉積板之組合或者簡單之迴紋波形圖案化之沉積板,其任一者皆可併入絕緣層或隔片。“西門子反應器”一詞係定義為初始設計為利用種子條棒之沉積反應器。US Patent Application Serial No. 12/597,151 ("151 Patent Application"), filed on Oct. 22, 2009, the disclosure of the high-purity bismuth deposition via a high surface area gas-solid or gas-liquid interface and recovery via liquid phase The entire disclosure of this patent application is incorporated by reference. The name of the same application (the application number: which is known to be added immediately) is a common application for the deposition of a material by a chemical vapor deposition process, which is incorporated by reference in its entirety. This patent application also claims the provisional patent application No. 61504148 ("148 Provisional Patent Application") filed on July 1, 2011, A high-purity amorphous and crystalline bismuth and other materials deposition cassette, and a temporary patent application ("145 Provisional Patent Application") filed on July 1, 2011, which produces high purity amorphous and The priority of a cassette reactor of crystalline ruthenium and other materials, both of which are incorporated herein in their entirety. In the '151 patent application, the term "deposited plate" is defined as the surface on which the crucible is deposited, but for the purpose of enhancing clarity for the purpose of illustrating the actual physical components of this patent application, the "deposited surface" is defined as The surface on which the material is deposited, the "deposited plate" is defined as the actual solid plate on which the material (preferably on both sides and one or more edges) is deposited (relative to its edge, significantly larger on its sides) Object of surface area). Therefore, the sides and edges of the deposition plate are deposition surfaces. The term "deposited cassette" is defined as a combination of a distribution bar and a solid deposition plate or a simple relief pattern patterned deposition plate, either of which may be incorporated into an insulating layer or spacer. The term "Siemens reactor" is defined as a deposition reactor originally designed to utilize seed bars.

為了達成材料之電阻加熱,必須使電流通過它。然而,電流總是經由最小電阻之途徑走過。電阻的公式如下:R=ρ *L/SIn order to achieve resistive heating of the material, current must be passed through it. However, current always travels through the path of minimum resistance. The formula for the resistance is as follows: R = ρ * L / S

式中:R=通過特定材料之特定途徑的電阻,單位歐姆ρ=該材料之體積電阻率,單位歐姆*米L=途徑的長度,單位米S=電流經由其走過之途徑的截面積Where: R = resistance through a particular path of a particular material, unit ohm ρ = volume resistivity of the material, unit ohms * m L = length of the path, unit meters S = cross-sectional area of the path through which the current travels

若電極連接至導電材料之正方形板之上面的兩個角且打開電力開關,則主要的電流會易於跨過正方形板的上 面以直且窄之途徑在一電極與另一電極之間移動,很少的電流到達正方形板的下剖面。同樣地,若兩片分開的材料平行連接,則主要的電流會易於經由具有較低電阻之材料走過。若此兩片分開的材料係由相同材料所製成,則主要的電流會易於經由具有最低之長度對截面積之比率的那塊材料走過,因為此塊材料會具有較低電阻。若此兩片分開的材料具有相同之長度對截面積之比率但係由不同材料所製成,則主要的電流會易於經由具有較低體積電阻率之材料走過。If the electrode is connected to the two corners above the square plate of conductive material and the power switch is turned on, the main current will easily cross the square plate. The face moves between one electrode and the other in a straight and narrow path, with little current reaching the lower section of the square plate. Similarly, if two separate materials are connected in parallel, the primary current will easily pass through the material with lower resistance. If the two separate pieces of material are made of the same material, the primary current will tend to pass through the piece of material having the lowest length to cross-sectional area ratio because the piece of material will have a lower electrical resistance. If the two separate materials have the same ratio of length to cross-sectional area but are made of different materials, the primary current can easily pass through the material having a lower volume resistivity.

使用上述原理可能選擇特定體積電阻率及尺寸以引導電流沿著所要的途徑流動。在沉積板的情形下,目標為達成整個表面平均加熱至所要之溫度,此需要電流平均地通過沉積板的整個截面積從一側面至另一側面。此任務變成沿著沉積板之一整個邊緣分佈電流並沿著整個相對邊緣收集之。此可藉由將分佈條棒貼附至兩邊緣使得條棒的電阻低於沉積板的電阻而達成之。以此方式,在平均地通過欲以相對之條棒平均地帶走之沉積板之整個截面之前,電流會先向下通過一分佈條棒之整個長度。若分佈條棒與沉積板係由相同材料所製成,則條棒之長度對截面積之比率需小於沉積板之長度對截面積之比率。即使沉積板相當薄,若其足夠高,則此比率可相當低。結果分佈條棒必須具有足夠大的截面積以確保電流先向下走過其整個長度。其中分佈條棒與沉積板係由相同材料所製成之此構型之適合材料包含但不限於鎢、氮化矽、碳化矽、石墨、合金、 及其複合材。Using the above principles it is possible to select a specific volume resistivity and size to direct current flow along the desired path. In the case of a deposition plate, the goal is to achieve an average heating of the entire surface to the desired temperature, which requires the current to pass equally through the entire cross-sectional area of the deposition plate from one side to the other. This task becomes distributed along the entire edge of one of the deposition plates and collected along the entire opposite edge. This can be achieved by attaching the distribution bar to both edges such that the resistance of the bar is lower than the resistance of the deposition plate. In this manner, the current will first pass down the entire length of a distribution bar before passing the entire section of the deposition plate that is to be averaged away by the opposing bars. If the distribution bar and the deposition plate are made of the same material, the ratio of the length of the bar to the cross-sectional area needs to be smaller than the ratio of the length of the deposition plate to the cross-sectional area. Even if the deposition plate is quite thin, if it is high enough, the ratio can be quite low. As a result, the distribution bar must have a sufficiently large cross-sectional area to ensure that the current travels down the entire length first. Suitable materials for the configuration in which the distribution bar and the deposition plate are made of the same material include, but are not limited to, tungsten, tantalum nitride, tantalum carbide, graphite, alloy, And its composites.

至於另一可選擇之構型,分佈條棒可由具有比沉積板之材料更低之體積電阻率之材料所製成,因此使條棒的截面積減小。此構型之材料的適合組合包含但不限於分佈條棒之石墨及沉積板之碳化矽,或者分佈條棒之鎢及沉積板之氮化矽。As a further alternative configuration, the distribution bar can be made of a material having a lower volume resistivity than the material of the deposition plate, thereby reducing the cross-sectional area of the bar. Suitable combinations of materials of this configuration include, but are not limited to, graphite strips of distributed bars and tantalum carbides of deposited plates, or tungsten of distributed bars and tantalum nitride of deposited plates.

至於又另一可選擇之構型,可能藉由將迴紋波形圖案機械加工至沉積板中使得電流上及下走過窄途徑使其路徑從沉積板之一側面至另一側面而將分佈條棒之功能性直接地整合至沉積板中。該種構型提供大表面積之電阻加熱同時電流依然平均地分佈整個相對窄之途徑。As yet another alternative configuration, it is possible to machine the strip pattern pattern into the deposition plate such that the current travels up and down through a narrow path such that the path is from one side of the deposition plate to the other side. The functionality of the rod is directly integrated into the deposition plate. This configuration provides a large surface area resistance heating while the current is still evenly distributed throughout the relatively narrow path.

上述任一種構型中,可希望在分佈條棒及沉積板之整個沉積表面上施加電氣絕緣材料層。此絕緣材料較佳具有比分佈條棒及沉積板之材料高甚多之體積電阻率以確保絕大部份的電流留在條棒及沉積板中而不通過至沉積在絕緣層表面上之材料中,如多晶矽。多晶矽係一種半導體,其電阻率在其溫度增加時會顯著地下降而在1150℃之平均沉積溫度其相當導電。再者,當沉積進行而多晶矽外殼之厚度增加時,其長度對截面積之比率下降,進一步降低其電阻。沒有絕緣層,當外殼變更厚時,有愈來愈多的電流會開始流經外殼,有效地使沉積板短路。沉積板會停止適當地加熱而多晶矽的進一步沉積會自己縮減。防止此點之材料的適合組合包含但不限於分佈條棒及沉積板之石墨和絕緣層之碳化矽或氮化矽。此絕緣層可以許多形式包含但 不限於化學氣相沉積、預陶瓷聚合物油膏、及陶瓷基複合材施加在分佈條棒及沉積板上。In any of the above configurations, it may be desirable to apply a layer of electrically insulating material over the entire deposition surface of the distribution bars and deposition plates. Preferably, the insulating material has a volume resistivity that is much higher than the material of the distribution bar and the deposition plate to ensure that a majority of the current remains in the bar and the deposition plate without passing through the material deposited on the surface of the insulating layer. Medium, such as polycrystalline germanium. Polycrystalline germanium is a semiconductor whose resistivity drops significantly as its temperature increases and is fairly conductive at an average deposition temperature of 1150 °C. Furthermore, as the deposition progresses and the thickness of the polycrystalline silicon shell increases, the ratio of its length to the cross-sectional area decreases, further reducing its electrical resistance. Without the insulating layer, as the outer casing changes thickness, more and more current will begin to flow through the outer casing, effectively shorting the deposition plate. The deposition plate will stop heating properly and the further deposition of polysilicon will shrink by itself. Suitable combinations of materials to prevent this include, but are not limited to, the distribution of bars and deposits of graphite and insulating layers of tantalum carbide or tantalum nitride. This insulating layer can be included in many forms but Not limited to chemical vapor deposition, pre-ceramic polymer pastes, and ceramic matrix composites are applied to the distribution bars and deposition plates.

第1圖係顯示併入上述分佈及絕緣特點之沉積匣盒2之一較佳實施例。在此較佳實施例中,沉積匣盒2係由貼附至兩個分佈條棒33之任一端之固體沉積板34所組成。分佈條棒33的電阻低於固體沉積板34的電阻,使得在平均地流過固體沉積板34之整個截面且被其他分佈條棒33帶走之前,電流先向下流過分佈條棒33之整個長度。此造成整個沉積表面之平均電阻加熱。此整個組件(分佈條棒33的端點例外,其必須依然未被覆蓋以達成與其他電氣元件良好之電氣接觸)以絕緣層52予以覆蓋,其阻隔電流從分佈條棒33及固體沉積板34流至沉積在沉積匣盒2上之材料(未示出)。Figure 1 shows a preferred embodiment of a deposition cassette 2 incorporating the above described distribution and insulation characteristics. In the preferred embodiment, the deposition cassette 2 is comprised of a solid deposition plate 34 attached to either end of two distribution bars 33. The electric resistance of the distribution bar 33 is lower than the electric resistance of the solid deposition plate 34 so that the current flows down the entire distribution bar 33 before flowing evenly across the entire cross section of the solid deposition plate 34 and taken away by the other distribution bars 33. length. This causes an average resistance heating of the entire deposition surface. This entire assembly (with the exception of the end of the distribution bar 33, which must remain uncovered to achieve good electrical contact with other electrical components) is covered with an insulating layer 52 that blocks current from the distribution bar 33 and the solid deposition plate 34. It flows to a material (not shown) deposited on the deposition cassette 2.

第2圖係顯示其中分佈條棒33及固體沉積板34的功能性整合至單一迴紋波形沉積板51中之沉積匣盒2之一較佳實施例。被機械加工至單一迴紋波形沉積板51中之狹縫的迴紋波形圖案造成彎曲途徑,其提供整體大表面積又依然足夠窄,使得電流平均地拓過其截面積。延伸出第一及最後迴紋波形腳以形成連接至其他電氣元件之電極垂片53。除了電極垂片53以外之整個沉積匣盒2以絕緣層52予以覆蓋,其亦藉由閉合迴紋波形狹縫而產生連續沉積表面。絕緣層52之熱導率使得直接在迴紋波形途徑上之區域與那些直接在迴紋波形狹縫之區域間的表面上沒有察覺到熱梯度展開。此平均加熱可使矽平均沉積在沉積匣盒2之 整個表面上。2 is a view showing a preferred embodiment of the deposition cassette 2 in which the distribution bars 33 and the solid deposition plates 34 are functionally integrated into the single embossed waveform deposition plate 51. The textured pattern of the slits machined into the slits in the single embossed waveform deposition plate 51 creates a tortuous path that provides an overall large surface area yet still narrow enough that the current averages across its cross-sectional area. The first and last reticular wave legs are extended to form electrode tabs 53 that are connected to other electrical components. The entire deposition cassette 2 except the electrode tabs 53 is covered with an insulating layer 52 which also creates a continuous deposition surface by closing the reticular wave slits. The thermal conductivity of the insulating layer 52 is such that no thermal gradient spread is detected on the surface directly on the reticular waveform path and those directly between the regions of the reticular wave slit. This average heating allows the ruthenium to be deposited on the deposition cassette 2 On the entire surface.

第1圖及第2圖兩者皆顯示其中藉由鄰近的外部冷卻源如水冷卻反應器壁避開使材料沿著沉積匣盒2之頂部邊緣沉積之沉積匣盒2的較佳實施例。因此沉積之材料形成覆蓋沉積匣盒2之其餘三個邊緣及兩側面之外殼且在後續進一步加熱時以相對於未結殼邊緣之方向回收之。Both Figures 1 and 2 show a preferred embodiment in which the deposition cassette 2 is deposited along the top edge of the deposition cassette 2 by an adjacent external cooling source such as a water cooled reactor wall. The deposited material thus forms an outer casing covering the remaining three edges and both sides of the deposition cassette 2 and is recovered in a direction relative to the unshelled edge upon subsequent further heating.

第3圖係顯示併入具有較寬之外途徑54之迴紋波形沉積板及具有較寬之外邊緣55之絕緣層之沉積匣盒2之一較佳實施例。當電流通過具有較寬之外途徑54之沉積板時,這些外途徑加熱程度小於內迴紋波形途徑,因為其截面積較大,因此其電阻較低之故。具有較寬之外邊緣55之絕緣層驅散此較小之加熱,甚至進一步經由傳導及對流損失使得沉積匣盒2之邊緣低於可察覺之沉積所需之溫度。防止外殼繞著沉積匣盒2之所有邊緣形成,亦即,將其侷限於僅在沉積匣盒2的兩側面,可在後續進一步加熱時未受妨礙且多方向回收此外殼。3 is a preferred embodiment of a deposition cassette 2 incorporating a embossed waveform deposition plate having a wider outer path 54 and an insulating layer having a wider outer edge 55. When the current passes through the deposition plate having a wider outer path 54, the external path is heated to a lesser extent than the inner retrace waveform path because its cross-sectional area is larger and its resistance is lower. The insulating layer having a wider outer edge 55 dissipates this lesser heating, and even further reduces the edge of the deposition cassette 2 below the temperature required for appreciable deposition via conduction and convection losses. The outer casing is prevented from being formed around all the edges of the deposition cassette 2, i.e., it is limited to only the two sides of the deposition cassette 2, and the outer casing can be unobstructed and recovered in multiple directions upon subsequent further heating.

第4圖係顯示併入具有分開之外途徑56之迴紋波形沉積板之沉積匣盒2之一較佳實施例。在沉積步驟期間這些外途徑保持未通電,使得沉積匣盒2的邊緣比側面冷,因此不會形成外殼。在回收步驟期間,其沿著內途徑通電以提供形成在沉積匣盒2之兩側面上之外殼的邊緣及中心同時拆卸所可能需要之任何額外的加熱。外殼之所有區域之同時快速拆卸使界面液化達到最小,因此污染物可能擴散至外殼中以及使能量消耗達到最小。Figure 4 is a diagram showing a preferred embodiment of a deposition cassette 2 incorporating a textured-wafer deposition plate having a separate path 56. These external routes remain unenergized during the deposition step, so that the edges of the deposition cassette 2 are colder than the sides and therefore do not form an outer casing. During the recovery step, it is energized along the inner path to provide any additional heating that may be required to form the edges and center of the outer casing on both sides of the deposition cassette 2 while disassembling. Simultaneous rapid disassembly of all areas of the enclosure minimizes liquefaction of the interface so that contaminants can diffuse into the enclosure and minimize energy consumption.

沉積匣盒2可使用於任何沉積反應器,包含為特定目的建造之匣盒反應器及西門子反應器。第5圖係顯示使用於為特定目的建造之匣盒反應器之沉積匣盒2陣列之一較佳實施例。有16個沉積匣盒2,其藉由貼附於其電極垂片53之電極托座57而連接至兩個分佈條棒32。分佈條棒32以平行或串聯之方式連接沉積匣盒2,至AC或DC電源供應器。如所示般,分佈條棒32位在匣盒反應器內且經由反應器壁中之連接點與其他電氣元件發生接觸。然而,沒有排除電極垂片53經由透過反應器壁之其自身個別之連接點與外部設置之分佈條棒或其他電氣元件接觸。The deposition cassette 2 can be used in any deposition reactor, including a purpose-built cassette reactor and a Siemens reactor. Figure 5 is a diagram showing a preferred embodiment of a deposition cassette 2 array for use in a cartridge reactor constructed for a specific purpose. There are 16 deposition cassettes 2 connected to the two distribution bars 32 by electrode holders 57 attached to their electrode tabs 53. The distribution bars 32 connect the deposition cassette 2 in parallel or in series to an AC or DC power supply. As shown, the distribution bars 32 are positioned within the cassette reactor and are in contact with other electrical components via connection points in the reactor walls. However, it is not excluded that the electrode tab 53 is in contact with an externally disposed distribution bar or other electrical component via its own individual connection point through the reactor wall.

在較佳實施例中,各沉積匣盒2為42cm高、75cm長、且沉積匣盒2間之間隔為5cm。此間隔可使外殼之合理之2cm厚度可在沉積匣盒2之各側面上發展同時又藉由沉積循環的結束提供外殼間沉積氣體流動之適當1cm間隙。此外殼厚度及間隙寬度可如所要般予以調整以使沉積循環時間及沉積氣體流動特性最佳化。如所示般,所有16個沉積匣盒2陣列所佔之總體積大約為75cm×75cm×42cm,其考慮到外殼厚度,意欲符合使用於製造多結晶鑄塊之85cm×85cm坩堝之內部。In the preferred embodiment, each of the deposition cassettes 2 is 42 cm high, 75 cm long, and the spacing between the deposition cassettes 2 is 5 cm. This spacing allows a reasonable 2 cm thickness of the outer casing to develop on each side of the deposition cassette 2 while providing an appropriate 1 cm gap of deposition gas flow between the outer casings by the end of the deposition cycle. In addition, the thickness of the shell and the width of the gap can be adjusted as desired to optimize deposition cycle time and deposition gas flow characteristics. As shown, the total volume of all 16 arrays of deposited cassettes 2 is approximately 75 cm x 75 cm x 42 cm, which is contemplated to conform to the thickness of the outer casing and is intended to conform to the interior of the 85 cm x 85 cm crucible used to make the polycrystalline ingot.

然而,沉積匣盒2之尺寸,量及間隔可被輕易地改變使得其可符合大部份尺寸之坩堝的內部。此尺寸彈性可使用作為結晶化技術持續改良而可使用愈來愈大之坩堝。在另一較佳實施例中,亦可藉由使沉積匣盒2向著連續地短於沉積匣盒2之中間之陣列的側面,使得沉積匣盒2陣列 的平剖面本身變成圓形而調整沉積匣盒2之尺寸以符合具有圓形平剖面之坩堝的內部。此較佳實施例使沉積匣盒2可使用於以涵蓋將旋轉拉桿插入圓形坩堝中之熔化物中再抽出圓柱形單結晶之Czochralski結晶化製程生產單結晶鑄塊。However, the size, amount and spacing of the deposition cassette 2 can be easily changed so that it conforms to the interior of most of the dimensions. This dimensional elasticity can be used as a crystallization technology for continuous improvement and can be used more and more. In another preferred embodiment, the deposition cassette 2 array can also be deposited by causing the deposition cassette 2 to face continuously toward the side of the array in the middle of the deposition cassette 2. The flat profile itself becomes circular and the size of the deposition cassette 2 is adjusted to conform to the interior of the crucible having a circular flat section. This preferred embodiment allows the deposition cassette 2 to be used to produce a single crystal ingot in a Czochralski crystallization process that involves re-extracting a cylindrical single crystal from a melt that is inserted into a circular crucible.

沉積匣盒2以向上指之電極垂片53垂直地定向。此定向使沉積匣盒2的頂部邊緣與反應器頂部組件之水冷卻壁鄰近,其結果是防止材料沉積至這些頂部邊緣上。材料沉積被侷限於頂部邊緣下方某些距離之各沉積匣盒2的兩側面及其餘之三個邊緣,使得其上發生沉積之所有表面皆以相同方向,亦即,定向。此有助於將沉積匣盒2加熱至或高於材料之熔融溫度及經由施加單方向力,如重力自沉積匣盒2分離外殼之後續步驟。然而,沒有排除沉積匣盒2在任何方向定位及使用重力以外之任何力自沉積匣盒2分離外殼。The deposition cassette 2 is oriented vertically with the electrode tabs 53 pointing upward. This orientation causes the top edge of the deposition cassette 2 to be adjacent to the water stave of the reactor top assembly, with the result that material is prevented from depositing onto these top edges. The deposition of material is limited to the two sides of the deposition cassette 2 at some distance below the top edge and the remaining three edges such that all surfaces on which deposition occurs are oriented in the same direction, i.e., oriented. This facilitates the subsequent step of heating the deposition cassette 2 to or above the melting temperature of the material and separating the outer casing by applying a unidirectional force, such as gravity, from the deposition cassette 2. However, the deposition cassette 2 is not excluded from positioning in any direction and any force other than gravity is used to separate the outer casing from the deposition cassette 2.

第6圖係顯示使用於西門子反應器之沉積匣盒2之一較佳實施例。此沉積匣盒2製造成具有與運作結束之多晶矽條棒對相同之尺寸,其係為大約200至240cm之高度及大約40至50cm之長度。電極垂片53向下指且調整形狀以與西門子反應器電極44對準,對此其係以電極托座57貼附之。結果該種沉積匣盒2可以很少或無機械或電氣修改而符合西門子反應器,以達到以相同單位能量消耗增加生產容量或以相同生產容量減少單位能量消耗之目的。為了說明此點,第7圖顯示具有西門子反應器電極44輪廓之 18對西門子反應器,運作開始之多晶矽條棒59,及運作結束之多晶矽條棒43,第8圖顯示符合沉積匣盒2之相同18對西門子反應器之一較佳實施例。沉積匣盒2佔據與多晶矽條棒相同之空間且符合相同之電極又提供高甚多之平均沉積表面積。Figure 6 shows a preferred embodiment of a deposition cassette 2 for use in a Siemens reactor. The deposition cassette 2 is fabricated to have the same dimensions as the end of the polycrystalline bar pair, which is about 200 to 240 cm in height and about 40 to 50 cm in length. The electrode tab 53 is pointed downward and shaped to align with the Siemens reactor electrode 44 for attachment to the electrode holder 57. As a result, the deposition cassette 2 can be compliant with the Siemens reactor with little or no mechanical or electrical modification to achieve the goal of increasing production capacity with the same unit energy consumption or reducing unit energy consumption with the same production capacity. To illustrate this point, Figure 7 shows the outline of the Siemens reactor electrode 44. The 18 pairs of Siemens reactors, the polycrystalline rods 59 that started operation, and the polycrystalline rods 43 that finished the operation, Figure 8 shows a preferred embodiment of the same 18 pairs of Siemens reactors that conform to the deposition cassette 2. The deposition cassette 2 occupies the same space as the polycrystalline bar and conforms to the same electrode while providing a much higher average deposition surface area.

第9至11圖係顯示沉積匣盒2如何安裝在西門子反應器中之一較佳實施例。電極垂片53各以螺釘固定至兩個L-形電極托座57,其接著以螺釘固定至西門子反應器電極44之石墨支撐架。整合至沉積板54中之電極垂片53及電極托座57較佳係由導電又結構適合之材料所製成,包含但不限於碳-碳複合材。沿著沉積匣盒2之底部邊緣之多晶矽外殼的形成可藉由(i)沉積匣盒2之設計,其較佳實施例示於第3-4圖,(ii)此底部邊緣鄰近於水冷卻西門子反應器托座47,(iii)由適合之絕緣、無污染、且耐熱之材料製成遮蔽物(未示出),包含但不限於碳化矽、氮化矽及各種陶瓷,其阻隔沉積氣體與底部邊緣接觸,以及(iv)(i)、(ii)、及(iii)之任何組合防止之。Figures 9 through 11 show a preferred embodiment of how the deposition cassette 2 is installed in a Siemens reactor. The electrode tabs 53 are each screwed to two L-shaped electrode holders 57 which are then screwed to the graphite support of the Siemens reactor electrode 44. The electrode tabs 53 and the electrode holders 57 integrated into the deposition plate 54 are preferably made of a conductive and structurally suitable material, including but not limited to a carbon-carbon composite. The formation of the polycrystalline silicon casing along the bottom edge of the deposition cassette 2 can be achieved by (i) depositing the design of the cassette 2, the preferred embodiment of which is shown in Figures 3-4, (ii) the bottom edge is adjacent to the water cooled Siemens Reactor holders 47, (iii) are made of a suitable insulating, non-contaminating, and heat resistant material (not shown) including, but not limited to, tantalum carbide, tantalum nitride, and various ceramics that block deposition gases and The bottom edge contact, and any combination of (iv) (i), (ii), and (iii) are prevented.

第12-14圖係顯示特別適合使用於西門子反應器之沉積匣盒2之一較佳實施例。此沉積匣盒2具有U-形沉積板60,其不具有絕緣層但以符合其兩側面間之絕緣隔片58取代之。電流沿著有U-形沉積板60(其基本上為兩途徑之迴紋波形沉積板),在一西門子反應器電極44至其他之間流動,因此加熱U-形沉積板60且造成材料沉積在其上。結果,U-形沉積板60之兩側面,及形成在其上之外殼沒有 短路。絕緣隔片58亦遮蔽U-形沉積板60之整個內部邊緣沒有形成外殼且使外殼以圓形端之方向沒有妨礙自U-形沉積板60分離。Figures 12-14 show a preferred embodiment of a deposition cassette 2 that is particularly suitable for use in a Siemens reactor. This deposition cassette 2 has a U-shaped deposition plate 60 which does not have an insulating layer but is replaced by an insulating spacer 58 which conforms between its both sides. The current flows along a U-shaped deposition plate 60 (which is essentially a two-way textured corrugated plate), flowing between a Siemens reactor electrode 44 and others, thus heating the U-shaped deposition plate 60 and causing material deposition. On it. As a result, the two sides of the U-shaped deposition plate 60, and the outer casing formed thereon are not Short circuit. The insulating spacer 58 also shields the entire inner edge of the U-shaped deposition plate 60 from forming an outer casing and does not interfere with the separation of the U-shaped deposition plate 60 in the direction of the rounded end.
