一种制备高成品率晶体的生长方法及装置 技术领域
本发明涉及化合物半导体单晶生长技术领域,具体涉及一种制备高成品率晶体的生长方法及装置。
背景技术
垂直温度梯度凝固法(Vertical Gradient Freeze,简称VGF)是制备高品质磷化铟晶体的优选方法,其生长过程大致如下:将合成好的化合物半导体多晶料及籽晶、密封剂等装入坩埚并密封在抽真空的炉体中,通过温度梯度控制,使多晶熔化后与籽晶进行熔接,单晶从籽晶端向上缓慢生长,在实际晶体生产中,需有序、精确控制升温化料、温度保持、缓慢降温等过程,由于装置、控制及传到、对流、辐射等,热场极其复杂,控制难度大,尤其是对于磷化铟等的单晶生长过程,由于其离解压高,需高温高压生长环境,而其层错能低,非常容易出现孪晶缺陷,同时,其临界剪切应力小,使得制备高质量磷化铟晶体非常困难,由于孪晶出现几率高,造成成品率低,成本居高不下,对其在光纤通讯、微电子、太阳能领域的广泛应用带来了限制。
提高晶体生长成品率是单晶生长领域一直致力研究的热点和难点,201410293610.5的发明专利公开了一种R-VGF法生长高质量化合物半导体单晶工艺,在VGF法单晶生长工艺的基础上,加入旋转工艺,从而获得均匀分布的径向温场,有利于轴向温场进行有效散热,其工艺方法主要在于获得适宜高质量单晶生长的温场环境,但在实际应用中,由于每个热区右多个热偶监控,线路较复杂,另一方面,由于旋转,造成坩埚、炉体等位置对中性出现偏差的几率增大,反而降低了成品率,还造成产品一致性较差。因此,研究开发稳定性好、成品率高的单晶生长方法及配套装置是本领域急需解决的技术问题。
