Description
本発明の一実施の形態に係るシリコン析出用芯線(以下、単に「シリコン芯線」と称する)についての理解の一助のために、先ず、図1の(a)、(b)、および図2を用いて、シーメンス法において用いられる多結晶シリコンロッドの製造設備の一例について概説する。図1の(a)は、上記多結晶シリコンロッドの製造設備の一例としての多結晶シリコン製造用反応器の構造を概略的に示す断面図である。図1の(b)は、上記反応器の内部に立設される、シリコン芯線からなるシリコン析出用部材を示す斜視図である。図2は、上記反応器の内部を概略的に示す斜視図である。なお、図2では、反応器のカバーを除去した状態を示している。
従来、シーメンス法による多結晶シリコンの製造において、生産効率を向上させるために、シリコン芯線を予備加熱する、昇温速度を速くする、反応器内の温度および圧力を高くする、原料ガスの供給量を多くする、並びに、多結晶シリコンロッドの径を大きくする、等の種々の技術が提案され、適用されている。
本発明の実施の形態におけるシリコン芯線について、図3を参照しながら説明する。図3の(a)は、本シリコン芯線を製造する素材としての多結晶シリコンインゴットの横断面図である。図3の(b)は、本シリコン芯線の長手方向の側面を示す模式図である。
上記多結晶シリコンインゴットを切断して、多結晶シリコンの棒状体を切り出し、シリコン芯線を得る。このとき、切り出し後のシリコン芯線の外形および垂直断面における形状としては、特に限定されない。シリコン芯線は、上記反応器1(図1の(a)参照)内に立設して、シーメンス法による多結晶シリコンの製造を行ったとき、所望の径の多結晶シリコンロッド8が得られる形であればよい。
本シリコン芯線の格子間酸素濃度の範囲は、昇温時における変形を防ぐという観点から、10ppma以上40ppma以下である。また、上記格子間酸素濃度の範囲は、15ppma以上35ppma以下、さらには20ppma以上30ppma以下であることがより好ましい。
図3の(b)を用いて本シリコン芯線に含まれる結晶について説明する。本シリコン芯線は、シリコン結晶の集合体としての多結晶シリコンからなる棒状体である。図3の(b)に示すように、本シリコン芯線の長手方向の側面において、最大辺長が1mm以上の単結晶粒が多数観察される。
本シリコン芯線は、900℃における降伏応力が、1cm2あたり150MPa以上であることが好ましい。このような機械特性(高温時における強度)は、シリコン芯線が多結晶シリコンからなる棒状体であること、および格子間酸素濃度が上記所定範囲内であることにより、得ることができる。上記構成によれば、高温時における熱変形を抑制することができ、反応初期から高温条件下でシリコンの析出工程を行うことができる。降伏応力とは、応力と変形量とが比例しなくなり、永久ひずみを生じる応力を意味する。

芯線の切り出し工程では、図4において「(2)芯線の切り出し」として示すように、上記多結晶シリコンインゴット20から切り出された平板21を、さらに切断して棒状体を切り出す。この棒状体の形状は、特に限定されない。
