[發明欲解決的問題][Problems to be solved by the invention]
但是,前記專利文獻1記載的技術,其係為一般的排氣構造,但因為只能由爐內下部排氣,所以具有無法有效率地排出在爐內上部側產生之CO氣體的課題。
另外,前記專利文獻2記載的技術,在1系統排氣中,於熱區設置複數排氣路徑,則靠近裝置側排氣口的位置之排氣成為優勢,因此距離裝置側排氣口較遠的位置,其排氣效率會因為配管阻抗的影響而低下。因此,具有即使設置複數排氣口也無法獲致充分效果的課題。
However, the technology described in the aforementioned Patent Document 1 has a general exhaust structure. However, since it can only be exhausted from the lower part of the furnace, there is a problem that CO gas generated on the upper side of the furnace cannot be efficiently discharged.
In addition, in the technology described in the
本發明之目的為提供矽單結晶的製造方法及矽單結晶的提拉裝置,其能夠有效率地將含有CO的氣體排氣,以降低矽單結晶中的碳濃度。 [解決問題的手段] An object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a silicon single crystal and a silicon single crystal pulling device, which can efficiently exhaust a gas containing CO to reduce the carbon concentration in the silicon single crystal. [Means for solving the problem]
本發明的矽單結晶的製造方法,其係為使用具備腔室、設置於前記腔室內的石英坩堝、及配置為包圍住前記石英坩堝以加熱前記石英坩堝的加熱器的提拉裝置來製造矽單結晶的矽單結晶的製造方法,其特徵在於:將在提拉中將被導入前記提拉裝置內的氣體從前記加熱器的背面排氣。The method for producing a silicon single crystal of the present invention is to produce silicon using a pulling device provided with a chamber, a quartz crucible provided in the pre-commension chamber, and a heater arranged to surround the pre-quartz crucible to heat the pre-quartz quartz crucible. The method for manufacturing a single crystal silicon single crystal is characterized in that the gas introduced into the pull device of the previous note is exhausted from the back of the previous heater during the pull.
在此,所謂的加熱器的背面為:將加熱器從加熱器的裏面朝向內筒於水平方向投影的區域。 如前述,加熱器等的變成高溫的碳構件和從矽融液產生的SiO氣體進行如式(1)的反應,產生CO氣體。由於此CO氣體混入矽融液中,使得矽單結晶中的碳濃度上升。 基本上,碳構件越高溫,越容易藉由式(1)的反應產生CO氣體。身為爐內構件當中最高溫的碳構件之加熱器,產生最多的CO氣體。因此,藉由從成為CO氣體的產生部位的加熱器之背面排氣,能夠以最短路徑將CO氣體排氣,因此能夠降低矽單結晶中的碳濃度。 Here, the so-called back surface of the heater is an area where the heater is projected in the horizontal direction from the back surface of the heater toward the inner cylinder. As described above, a carbon member that becomes a high temperature such as a heater and SiO gas generated from a silicon melt undergo a reaction as shown in equation (1) to generate CO gas. As this CO gas is mixed into the silicon melt, the carbon concentration in the silicon single crystal increases. Basically, the higher the temperature of the carbon member, the easier it is to generate CO gas by the reaction of formula (1). As the heater with the highest temperature carbon component among the furnace components, it produces the most CO gas. Therefore, by evacuating from the back surface of the heater that becomes the generation site of CO gas, the CO gas can be exhausted in the shortest path, and thus the carbon concentration in the silicon single crystal can be reduced.

According to this invention, if the exhaust port is formed at a position overlapping with at least a part of the back surface of the heater, the CO gas that has been generated from the inside of the upper part of the heater or the lower part of the heater can be exhausted, so that the silicon unit can be reduced The carbon concentration in the crystal.

According to this invention, if the exhaust port is formed at a position overlapping with at least a part of the back surface of the first heating section, CO gas can be exhausted from the gap between the first heating sections, so the silicon single crystal can be reliably reduced Carbon concentration.
本發明中以此為佳:從前記加熱器的背面排氣的排氣口,形成於將前記第1加熱部的上端彼此連結的第2加熱部以及將前記第1加熱部的下端彼此連結的第2加熱部之間。
依據此發明,能夠將加熱器所產生的CO氣體從加熱器的第1加熱部51間的空隙直接排氣。因此,能夠更確實地將加熱器5所產生的CO氣體排氣,降低提拉後的矽單結晶中的碳濃度。
In the present invention, it is preferable that the exhaust port that exhausts air from the back of the heater described above is formed in the second heating unit that connects the upper ends of the first heating unit described above and the lower end of the first heater that connects each other. Between the second heating section.

In addition, in the present invention, the gas introduced into the pull-up device described above is exhausted further below the lower end of the heater described above. According to these inventions, even when the exhaust is only above the upper end of the heater or only below the lower end of the heater, by adding exhaust on the back side of the heater, CO can be reduced The gas is exhausted from near the CO gas generation site, so the carbon concentration in the silicon single crystal can be reduced.
本發明中以此為佳:前記提拉裝置具備配置於前記加熱器之外側的排氣管,前記排氣管具備形成於對應於前記加熱器之背面的位置的中部排氣口。 依據此發明,若在加熱器的外側配置排氣管,則能夠有效率地將從加熱器產生的CO氣體排氣,因此能夠防止CO氣體混入矽融液中,使得矽單結晶中的碳濃度上升的情況。 尤其是,若有複數排氣管,且各個排氣管於加熱器的周方向均等配置,則能夠從加熱器的周方向中的均等位置將CO氣體排氣。因此,含有被攝入矽單結晶中之碳的氣體得以在矽單結晶的結晶軸周圍均等地排氣。另外,各個排氣管具備中部排氣口,藉此能夠進行有效率的排氣,能夠更降低矽單結晶中的碳濃度。 In the present invention, it is preferable that the pre-draw device includes an exhaust pipe arranged outside the pre-heater, and the pre-exhaust pipe has a central exhaust port formed at a position corresponding to the back of the pre-heater. According to this invention, if the exhaust pipe is arranged outside the heater, the CO gas generated from the heater can be efficiently exhausted, so that the CO gas can be prevented from being mixed into the silicon melt and the carbon concentration in the silicon single crystal can be prevented Rising situation. In particular, if there are plural exhaust pipes, and each exhaust pipe is evenly arranged in the circumferential direction of the heater, the CO gas can be exhausted from an equal position in the circumferential direction of the heater. Therefore, the gas containing the carbon absorbed in the silicon single crystal can be exhausted equally around the crystal axis of the silicon single crystal. In addition, each exhaust pipe is equipped with a central exhaust port, which enables efficient exhaust and can further reduce the carbon concentration in the silicon single crystal.

[5]實施形態的變形
再者,本發明不限定於前述實施形態,亦包含如下所示之變形。
前述實施形態中,安裝了排氣管15的內筒16上,僅形成了1處的中部排氣口16A,但本發明不限於此。亦即,除了中部排氣口16A之外,還可以在加熱器5的上部形成吸入CO氣體的上部排氣口,還可以在加熱器5的下部形成吸入CO氣體的下部排氣口。
[5] Modification of the embodiment
Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the aforementioned embodiment, and includes the following modifications.
In the aforementioned embodiment, only one
前述實施形態中,加熱器5係為在加熱器5的寬幅方向蛇行者,但本發明不限於此。亦即,加熱器亦可在上下方向蛇行者。總之,只要構成加熱器的加熱體間有狹縫狀的空隙,則不問其形狀。
另外,在能夠達成本發明目的的範圍內,本發明實施時的具體的構造及形狀等亦可為其他構造等。
[實施例]
In the foregoing embodiment, the
繼之,說明本發明的實施例。再者,本發明不限定於以下的實施例。
[1]實爐試驗
使用圖1所示的實際運作的提拉裝置1,在加熱器5的背面形成排氣管15,針對在加熱器5之高度方向的略一半的位置形成中部排氣口16A的情況下(實施例)、以及在較加熱器5的高度方向之下端更下方形成下部排氣口的情況下(比較例),測定提拉後的矽單結晶10中的碳濃度。結果顯示如圖6。再者,形成了中部排氣口16A的內筒16、排氣管15係由石墨材、碳纖維強化複合材等的碳製材料形成。
Next, an embodiment of the present invention will be described. Furthermore, the present invention is not limited to the following examples.
[1] Real furnace test
Using the actual lifting device 1 shown in FIG. 1, the
由圖6可以確認:將實施例和比較例對比,則比較例從矽單結晶10的提拉開始以來,就有碳濃度高於實施例的碳濃度之傾向。另外,比較例,其固化率較高,亦即,隨著矽單結晶10之提拉的進行,其變得較實施例的碳濃度還高。
相對於此,相較於下排氣的情況,實施例之矽單結晶10中的碳濃度被抑制得較低,能夠確認中部排氣口16A造成的CO氣體的排氣效率佳。
From FIG. 6, it can be confirmed that when the example and the comparative example are compared, the comparative example has a tendency that the carbon concentration is higher than that of the example since the silicon
[2]由模擬確認
繼之,使用數值模擬軟體,進行排氣位置別的矽融液9中之碳濃度的推定。
具體言之,如圖7所示,針對僅有下部排氣(A)、僅有中間排氣(B)、中間排氣及下部排氣(C)、及中間排氣及上部排氣(D),推定矽融液9中的碳濃度。結果顯示如圖8。
實際的提拉中,以矽融液9中的碳濃度為初期濃度,碳隨著偏析而被攝入矽單結晶10中,因此,依據模擬的算出值可以視為對應於實際的矽單結晶10的碳濃度。
[2] Confirmed by simulation
Next, using numerical simulation software, the carbon concentration in the
和實爐試驗一樣,僅有下部排氣(A)的情況下,如圖8所示,、矽融液9中的碳濃度最高。僅有中間排氣(B)的情況下,可以確認矽融液9中的碳濃度為最低。
中間排氣及下部排氣(C)的情況下,可以確認得知:其雖然沒有像僅有中間排氣(B)那樣的程度,但相較於下部排氣(A)的情況,其矽融液9中的碳濃度低下。
As in the actual furnace test, only the lower exhaust (A), as shown in FIG. 8, has the highest carbon concentration in the
同樣地,針對中間排氣及上部排氣(D),亦將其與僅有下部排氣(A)比較,而確認得知其矽融液9中的碳濃度低下。
從以上可知:藉由將中間排氣與上部排氣組合、或將中間排氣與下部排氣組合,能夠降低矽單結晶10中的碳濃度。
再者,將上部排氣或下部排氣與中間排氣組合的情況下,僅有中間排氣的場合更能夠使矽單結晶10中的碳濃度下降,推測其原因在於由於上部排氣、下部排氣存在,會使得中間排氣的排氣效率降低之故。
Similarly, the intermediate exhaust gas and the upper exhaust gas (D) are compared with the lower exhaust gas (A) only, and it is confirmed that the carbon concentration in the
