具体实施方式
为了更清楚地说明本申请实施例的技术方案，下面将对实施例描述中所需要使用的附图作简单的介绍。显而易见地，下面描述中的附图仅仅是本申请的一些示例或实施例，对于本领域的普通技术人员来讲，在不付出创造性劳动的前提下，还可以根据这些附图将本申请应用于其它类似情景。除非从语言环境中显而易见或另做说明，图中相同标号代表相同结构或操作。
图1是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的晶体生长设备的结构示意图。以下结合图1对晶体生长设备进行详细说明。在一些实施例中，晶体生长设备10可以基于物理气相传输法制备晶体(例如，半导体晶体，例如，碳化硅晶体、氮化铝晶体、氧化锌晶体、锑化锌晶体等)。在一些实施例中，如图1所示，晶体生长设备10可以包括坩埚100、加热组件(图1未示出)和保温装置200。保温装置200设置于坩埚100外的至少一个侧面。
坩埚100可以作为容器用于存放生长晶体所需的材料，并在高温的环境下用于生长晶体。在一些实施例中，坩埚100可以包括用于放置原料的原料腔102和用于晶体生长的生长腔101。在一些实施例中，原料腔102位于生长腔101下方，原料腔102与生长腔101气相连通。
在一些实施例中，原料腔102可以用于存放碳化硅、氮化铝、氧化锌或锑化锌等原材料，原材料可以在高温作用下升华为气相组分(例如，以制备碳化硅晶体为例，气相组分可以包括Si2C、SiC2、Si)。
在一些实施例中，生长腔101内可以设置籽晶303，气相组分在生长腔101内与籽晶接触后结晶而生成晶体。在一些实施例中，籽晶303可以固定粘接于坩埚100顶部(例如，上盖)的内侧面(例如，内侧面中心位置处)。
加热组件可以设置于(例如，环绕设置于)坩埚100外部，用于加热坩埚100。在晶体生长过程中，可以通过控制加热组件的加热参数，使得原料和籽晶303之间形成轴向温度梯度。原料受热可以分解升华为气相组分(例如，以制备碳化硅晶体为例，气相组分可以包括Si2C、SiC2、Si)，在轴向温度梯度的驱动作用下，气相组分从原料表面传输至籽晶303表面，由于籽晶303处温度相对较低，气相组分在籽晶303表面结晶进而生成晶体。在一些实施例中，加热组件可以包括感应加热组件、电阻加热组件等。
保温装置200可以减少坩埚100内与坩埚100外部的热交换，从而维持坩埚100内的温度稳定。在一些实施例中，保温装置200可以采用单层结构或多层结构。在一些实施例中，保温装置200可以全覆盖在坩埚100的侧壁和/或底部。关于保温装置200的更多内容可以参见本说明书其它地方的描述。
在一些实施例中，以制备碳化硅晶体为例，将碳化硅原材料装入原料腔102内。将籽晶303装入生长腔101内，籽晶303朝下设置。利用加热组件对坩埚100进行加热，使原料腔102内的碳化硅升华产生气相组分。气相组分上升到生长腔101内与籽晶303接触，在籽晶303表面结晶而生长出晶体。保温装置200设置在坩埚100外侧对坩埚100进行保温，使坩埚100内的温度维持在生长晶体所需的温度范围内。
下文将对晶体生长设备10的各个部件及其详细结构进行说明。
图2是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的上盖的结构示意图。以下结合图2对上盖进行详细说明。如图1、图2所示，坩埚100包括上盖300。在一些实施例中，坩埚100的顶部开口，上盖300设置于坩埚100的开口处。上盖300包括盖体301和籽晶托302。在一些实施例中，盖体301和籽晶托302可拆卸连接。
上盖300可以与坩埚100的开口连接，以关闭开口，使气相成分主要聚集于生长腔内。在一些实施例中，上盖300与开口的形状相适配。在一些实施例中，上盖300可以是圆盘型结构。
盖体301可以是上盖300中主要用于关闭开口的结构。盖体301还可以作为安装基础用于安装籽晶托302，上盖300通过盖体301与坩埚100的开口连接。
籽晶托302可以用于承载和固定籽晶303。在一些实施例中，籽晶303可以通过粘接的方式设置在籽晶托302的下表面。籽晶托302安装于上盖300的下表面。上盖300安装到位之后，籽晶303位于生长腔101内。
在一些实施例中，籽晶托302与盖体301可拆卸连接。在长晶时，将籽晶托302安装于盖体301上。完成长晶后，可以将籽晶托302从盖体301上取下。需要取下晶体时，可以破坏籽晶托302或对籽晶托302进行特殊处理，而盖体301还可以继续使用，有利于降低生产成本。
图3是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的晶体生长设备的结构示意图。以下结合图3对盖体进行进 一步说明。如图2、图3所示，在一些实施例中，盖体301上设置有第一阶梯面304，坩埚100的开口处设置有的第二阶梯面。第一阶梯面304与第二阶梯面可以配合安装。在一些实施例中，第一阶梯面304设置在盖体301的周侧。
在一些实施例中，第一阶梯面304与第二阶梯面之间可以有缝隙。利用缝隙能够实现坩埚100内外进行换气，避免坩埚100内部气压过高。
在一些实施例中，第一阶梯面304上可以设置微小的凸起结构，第一阶梯面304与第二阶梯面配合安装时，利用凸起结构能够调整第一阶梯面304与第二阶梯面形成的缝隙的大小。
在一些实施例中，如图2所示，籽晶托302包括连接结构305。连接结构305与籽晶303分别设置在籽晶托302相对的两侧。
在一些实施例中，籽晶托302可以通过连接结构305与盖体301可拆卸连接。在一些实施例中，连接结构305可以包括卡接结构、螺纹连接结构中的一种。在一些实施例中，连接结构305可以包括具有外螺纹的螺杆，盖体301上设置有与外螺纹连接的内螺纹孔。在一些实施例中，连接结构305可以包括具有内螺纹的螺纹孔，盖体301上设置有与螺纹孔连接的螺杆。在一些实施例中，连接结构305可以是滑块，盖体301上设置有与滑块连接的凹槽。在一些实施例中，滑块可以是T型滑块，凹槽可以是T型凹槽。
在一些实施例中，连接结构305设置于籽晶托302靠近盖体301的一侧的中心区域。在一些实施例中，籽晶托302的几何中心与重心重合，中心区域可以是籽晶托302的几何中心所在的区域。例如，中心区域可以是以籽晶托302的几何中心为圆心、半径在预设范围内的圆形区域。
通过设置可拆卸的籽晶托302，可以在晶体生长完成后将籽晶托302与盖体301分离，只需在籽晶托302上完成取晶操作而不必破坏盖体301，使盖体301可以重复利用。
图4是图2所示的籽晶托的局部放大示意图。以下结合图4对籽晶托进行详细说明。
在一些实施例中，当晶体生长完成后，在取晶过程中，可以对籽晶托302进行打磨，消耗掉籽晶托302的材料后即可取出晶体，通过这种方式取晶，可以有效减小取晶过程中带来的机械应力，避免晶体受损。在一些实施例中，籽晶托302的厚度可以影响取晶操作的效率和可靠性，籽晶托302的厚度越小，取晶时的效率越高。但是，籽晶托302的厚度也不能过小，以免影响籽晶托302的结构强度。
在一些实施例中，籽晶托的厚度a可以为2mm-10mm。在一些实施例中，籽晶托的厚度a可以为3mm-9mm。在一些实施例中，籽晶托的厚度a可以为4mm-8mm。
图5是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的上盖的结构示意图。以下结合图5对上盖进行详细说明。如图5所示，籽晶托302与盖体301相接触的两个表面包括相互配合的凹凸结构。籽晶托302与盖体301相连接时，可以利用相互配合的凹凸结构增加籽晶托302与盖体301之间的接触面积和连接强度，同时也可以更有利于籽晶托302将热量向盖体301传递。
在一些实施例中，凹凸结构可以包括设置在籽晶托302上的凸起结构306和设置在盖体301上的凹槽结构307，凸起结构306与凹槽结构307可以配合安装。
在另一些实施例中，凸起结构306可以设置在盖体301上，凹槽结构307可以设置在籽晶托302上。
在一些实施例中，凸起结构306与凹槽结构307能够三面贴合。在一些实施例中，凸起结构306可以设置有多个，且凸起结构306互相平行设置，凹槽结构307与凸起结构306一一对应设置。在一些实施例中，凸起结构306的横截面(其截切面与坩埚100的轴线方向平行)可以是长方形、三角形、半圆形、半椭圆形中的一种，凹槽结构307的横截面与凸起结构306对应设置。在一些实施例中，连接结构305的具体结构形状可以根据籽晶托302和盖体301的连接方式设置。在一些实施例中，籽晶托302和盖体301可以通过卡接的方式实现可拆卸连接，连接结构305可以是滑块，盖体301上设置有与滑块连接的凹槽，盖体301与籽晶托302可以通过滑块与凹槽的配合相对滑动。在一些实施例中，籽晶托302和盖体301可以通过卡接或螺纹连接的方式实现可拆卸连接，凸起结构306可以是圆环形的凸起，多个凸起同轴设置，凹槽结构307可以圆环形凹槽，凹槽结构307与凸起结构306一一对应设置。
在一些实施例中，籽晶托302可以包括分离槽308。分离槽308可以是便于取晶的结构。通过设置分离槽308可以更加方便的分离籽晶托302上的籽晶303。在一些实施例中，根据取晶方式的不同，分离槽308可以设置为不同的结构形式。
在一些实施例中，分离槽308可以包括便于破坏籽晶托302的易破坏结构。通过在籽晶托302上预先设置易破坏结构可以在取晶时对籽晶托302进行破坏，减少与籽晶303粘接的籽晶托材料，便于通过打磨等方式取晶。在一些实施例中，分离槽308设置在籽晶托302周向的侧面上，分离槽308为从籽晶托302周向的侧面向内凹的凹槽结构或裂纹结构，通过在分离槽308附近施加作用力，方便籽晶托302从分离槽308处开裂而使得籽晶托302更容易被破坏，从而方便从籽晶托302上取出晶体。
在一些实施例中，分离槽308(如，易破坏结构)可以沿着籽晶托302的周向设置多个，多个分离槽308可以等距或不等距分布。在一些实施例中，分离槽308也可以环绕籽晶托302的周侧设置为环形易破坏结构(或称为易破坏环带)。
在一些实施例中，分离槽308的横截面可以是矩形、三角形或半圆形。
在一些实施例中，分离槽308可以包括便于使籽晶303与籽晶托302分离的辅助分离结构。在一些实施例中，辅助分离结构可以设置在籽晶托302与籽晶303的连接面附近区域，由于籽晶303可以采用粘接的方式连接至籽晶托302，在取晶时，通过辅助分离结构可以将粘接分离液浸润至籽晶托302与籽晶303的粘接面，便于籽晶托302与籽晶303分离。
图6是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的籽晶托的结构示意图。以下结合图6对分离槽进行详细说明。如图6所示，分离槽308为圆周槽(即辅助分离结构)，圆周槽设置于籽晶托302远离盖体301的一侧的外周。
在一些实施例中，圆周槽设置在籽晶托302底面(即连接籽晶的一面)的边缘区域。在一些实施例中，圆周槽可以为向盖体301方向凹陷的凹台形状。通过设置圆周槽能够减小籽晶托302与籽晶303的接触面积，在籽晶303粘接至籽晶托302后预留出可以容纳分离液的空间，使粘接分离液能够直接浸润到籽晶托302与籽晶303的连接面，从而方便破坏籽晶托302与籽晶303的粘接连接，使籽晶更容易分离。
在一些实施例中，圆周槽的深度M可以影响粘接分离液对籽晶托302与籽晶303的连接面的浸润效果。如果深度M太小，粘接分离液难以长时间维持在圆周槽内，容易流出圆周槽，从而减弱粘接分离液对籽晶托302与籽晶303的连接面的浸润效果。如果深度M太大，籽晶托302与籽晶303的接触面积会过度减小，并且会减小籽晶托302与籽晶303的连接强度，降低籽晶303与籽晶托302的连接稳定性。如果接触面积过小，籽晶托302与籽晶303之间的传热也会受到影响，籽晶303边缘处向籽晶托302的传热效率会降低，导致籽晶303的温度分布不均匀，从而可能会影响籽晶的生长。为了保障圆周槽的浸润效果，深度M应设置在合理的范围内。在一些实施例中，圆周槽沿径向的深度M与籽晶托的半径的比值范围为0.02-0.05。在一些实施例中，圆周槽沿径向的深度M与籽晶托的半径的比值范围为0.028-0.042。在一些实施例中，圆周槽沿径向的深度M与籽晶托的半径的比值范围为0.03-0.04。
为了进一步保障圆周槽的浸润效果，相类似的，圆周槽沿轴向的高度L也应设置在合理的范围内。在一些实施例中，如图6所示，圆周槽沿径向的深度M为2mm-4mm，圆周槽沿轴向的高度L为0.5mm-1.5mm。在一些实施例中，圆周槽沿径向的深度M为2.5mm-3.5mm，圆周槽沿轴向的高度L为0.8mm-1.2mm。
图7是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的示例性晶体生长设备的结构框图。
在一些实施例中，参见图1和图7，坩埚包括设置于原料腔和生长腔之间的导流装置103。
导流装置103可以是控制引导坩埚内和/或坩埚外的气体方向的装置。在一些实施例中，导流装置103可以设置在原料腔和生长腔之间。在一些实施例中，导流装置103可以设置在原料腔中。在一些实施例中，导流装置103包括连通原料腔102和生长腔101的导流通道104。在一些实施例中，导流装置103的入口朝向原料腔，导流装置103的收口朝向生长腔101，收口的尺寸(如直径)小于入口的尺寸，即导流通道104靠近原料腔102的一端(即入口)的尺寸大于靠近生长腔101一端(即收口)的尺寸。在一些实施例中，导流通道104靠近生长腔101的一端的尺寸(如直径)小于原料腔102的尺寸。在一些实施例中，导流装置103的形状可以为空心锥台形。在一些实施例中，导流装置103的形状还可以是其他多种形状，包括但不限于空心弧形台等。
图8是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的示例性晶体生长设备的导流装置的局部结构框图。
在一些实施例中，导流装置103包括朝向原料腔102的底面倾斜的第一导流面1031。第一导流面1031位于原料腔的外壁，且位于生长腔101的下方。例如，如图8所示，第一导流面1031的底部连接原料腔102的内侧壁，第一导流面1031的顶部朝向生长腔101倾斜延伸。
由于籽晶的边缘区域离加热组件更近，通常温度略高于中心区域，通过设置具有第一导流面1031的导流装置103，可以使得由原料腔102流向生长腔101气相组分向中心汇聚，增加生长腔101中心区域的温度以及气相组分的浓度，降低籽晶上中心温度与边缘温度的差异，提高晶体生长质量。
在一些实施例中，通过设置第一导流面1031的倾斜角度α(即第一导流面1031与水平方向的夹角)，可以改变由原料腔流向生长腔的高温气流的流动方向，调节生长腔中晶体生长区域(如，籽晶处)的温度分布和气相组分在生长腔中的分布情况。较小的倾斜角度α有利于高温气流向晶体生长区域的中心处汇聚，减小中心与边缘的温度梯度，利于晶体均匀生长。但倾斜角度α也不宜设置得过小，过小的倾斜角度α可能导致气相组分过度向中心汇聚，反而不利于晶体均匀生长。由此，在一些实施例中，第一导流面的倾斜角度α范围可以为20°-80°。在一些实施例中，第一导流面的倾斜角度α范围可以为30°-70°。在一些实施例中，第一导流面的倾斜角度α范围可以为40°-60°。
在一些实施例中，也可以设置导流装置103的收口的半径，以达到上述减小中心与边缘的温度梯度的效果。在一些实施例中，导流装置103的收口的半径可以为50mm-110mm。在一些实施例中，导流装置103的收口的半径可以为55mm-100mm。在一些实施例中，导流装置103的收口的半径可以为60mm-90mm。
在一些实施例中，导流装置103包括导流槽1032，导流槽1032为设置于导流装置103外周的凹槽。由于导流通道104靠近生长腔的一端的尺寸(如直径)小于原料腔的尺寸，使得导流装置103靠近生长腔的一端沿径向的厚度较大，较大的厚度在一定程度上会影响导流装置103的导热能力。因此，通过设置导流槽可以减小导流装置103的厚度，使导流装置103的厚度更均匀，改善导流装置103的导热能力。
导流槽1032设置在导流装置103外周，位于坩埚的外壁，且位于生长腔101的下方。例如，如图8所示，在原料腔102上部的坩埚的外壁设置有一圈内凹的导流槽1032。在一些实施例中，导流槽1032的形状可以为锥形环状凹槽。在一些实施例中，导流槽1032的形状还可以是其他多种形状，包括但不限于弧形环状凹槽等。
在一些实施例中，导流槽1032包括与第一导流面1031平行或基本平行的第二导流面1033。本说明书实施例所述的“基本平行”是指相互参照的两个面或两条线之间的最小夹角不超过10°。
在一些实施例中，第二导流面1033朝向坩埚100的外侧，且位于生长腔101的下方。在一些实施例中，如图8所示，第二导流面1033的底部位于坩埚100的外壁，第二导流面1033的顶部朝向生长腔101延伸。
在一些实施例中，第一导流面1031与第二导流面1033之间构成导流壁1034。
导流壁1034可以是原料腔102外侧的第一导流面1031与第二导流面1033之间的坩埚壁。例如，如图8所示，导流壁1034的内侧面为第一导流面1031，导流壁1034的外侧面为第二导流面1033，第一导流面1031与第二导流面1033之间的距离可以是导流壁1034的厚度。需要说明的是，当第一导流面1031和第二导流面1033不平行时，导流壁的厚度可以是第一导流面1031和第二导流面1033之间的平均距离，该平均距离可以由最大距离和最小距离的平均值求得。
通过设置导流壁1034的厚度，可以改变导流装置103的导热能力，从而影响坩埚100内部的温场分布。在一些实施例中，综合考虑坩埚100内部的温场分布，可以将导流壁1034的厚度设置在一定厚度范围内。在一些实施例中，导流壁1034的厚度为10mm-60mm。在一些实施例中，导流壁1034的厚度为10mm-40mm。在一些实施例中，导流壁1034的厚度为10mm-30mm。
在一些实施例中，参见图8，导流装置103还包括支撑壁1035，支撑壁1035沿径向连接导流壁1034和生长腔101的外周壁。在一些实施例中，支撑壁1035可以沿水平方向设置。在一些实施例中，支撑壁1035与水平方向之间也可以存在一定的夹角。在一些实施例中，支撑壁1035与水平方向之间的夹角不大于30°。
通过设置支撑壁1035的厚度，可以改变导流装置103向生长腔101的导热能力，从而影响生长腔101内部的温场分布。在一些实施例中，综合考虑生长腔101内部的温场分布，可以将支撑壁1035的厚度设置在一定厚度范围内，其中支撑壁1035的厚度可以由支撑壁1035的内侧面(朝向生长腔101的侧面)与外侧面(朝向导流槽1032的侧面)之间的距离表示。
在一些实施例中，支撑壁1035的厚度范围为10mm-60mm。在一些实施例中，支撑壁1035的厚度范围为15mm-50mm。在一些实施例中，支撑壁1035的厚度范围为20mm-40mm。
在一些实施例中，当支撑壁1035的厚度一定时，通过设置导流槽1032的高度h可以同时改变导流壁1034的厚度和长度，从而改变导流装置103的导热能力，进而影响坩埚100内部的温场分布。在一些实施例中，导流槽1032的高度h范围为20mm-40mm。在一些实施例中，导流槽1032的高度h范围为22mm-38mm。在一些实施例中，导流槽1032的高度h范围为25mm-35mm。
在一些实施例中，导流壁1034的厚度与导流槽1032的高度h的比值可以表征第一导流面1031和第二导流面1033的倾斜程度(如，倾斜角度)，该倾斜程度可以进一步影响导流通道104内气相组分的流动情况，从而影响生长腔101的温场分布。在一些实施例中，综合考虑生长腔101内部的温场分布，可以将导流壁1034的厚度与导流槽1032的高度h的比值设置在一定范围内。在一些实施例中，导流壁1034的厚度与导流槽1032的高度h的比值范围为0.2-1.5。在一些实施例中，导流壁1034的厚度与导流槽1032的高度h的比值范围为0.5-1。在一些实施例中，导流壁1034的厚度与导流槽1032的高度h的比值范围为0.2-0.8。
由于支撑壁1035的厚度主要影响导流装置103向生长腔101的边缘区域的导热能力，从而主要影响晶体生长的边缘温度；导流壁1034的厚度主要影响导流装置103向收口区域的导热能力，从而主要影响生长腔101的中心区域的温度。在一些实施例中，为了使晶体生长的中心温度与边缘温度的差值较小，可以将导流壁1034的厚度与支撑壁1035的厚度的比值设置在一定范围内。
在一些实施例中，导流壁1034的厚度与支撑壁1035的厚度的比值范围为0.8-1.2。在一些实施例中，导流壁1034的厚度与支撑壁1035的厚度的比值范围为0.6-1.5。在一些实施例中，导流壁1034的厚度与支撑壁1035的厚度的比值范围为0.9-1。
图9A是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的晶体生长设备的剖面示意图。图9B是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的晶体生长设备的结构示意图。以下结合图9A、图9B对晶体生长设备进行详细说明。如图9A、图9B所示，晶体生长设备还包括测温结构500。在一些实施例中，测温结构500包括测温腔体501和测温窗502。
测温结构500可以用于测量晶体生长设备内部的温度，从而判断晶体生长是否处在合适的温度范围内，当测量的温度不在阈值范围内时，能够及时采取措施。
在一些实施例中，晶体生长设备还包括炉腔400，坩埚100和保温装置200可以设于炉腔400内部。炉腔400的顶部设置有开口401，测温结构500可以设于开口401处并与开口401连通。在一些实施例中，炉腔400内在工作过程中处于高温环境(例如，1200℃-2000℃或800℃-1600℃)中，采用传统的接触式测温会影响温度测量的准确性，因此可以通过非接触式的测温方式测量高温炉的温度。在一些实施例中，可以通过红外测温方式实现温度检测。
测温窗502可以作为温度检测的窗口。例如，可以通过红外测温仪采集炉腔400内或坩埚100内的温度，测温结构500与开口401连通，红外测温仪能够通过测温窗502采集炉腔400内发出的红外线，从而实现测温。在一些实施例中，测温窗502的材质可以包括红外测温玻璃(例如，氟化钡晶体玻璃)。
图10是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的测温结构的结构示意图。以下结合图10对测温结构进行详细说明。
在一些实施例中，参见图10，测温腔体501包括第一腔段5011、主体部分5012和第二腔段5013，所述测温窗502设置于所述第一腔段5011，所述第二腔段5013与炉腔400内连通，以实现炉腔400内的温度监测。在一些实施例中，生长腔101可以通过坩埚100的盖体300附近的缝隙与炉腔400气相连通，进而与第二腔段5013气相连通。在一些实施例中，第二腔段5013也可以通过盖体300上开设的测温孔直接与生长腔101连通，从而实现生长腔内的温度监测。
第一腔段5011可以指测温腔体501的顶端部分。在一些实施例中，测温窗502可以设置于第一腔段5011。在一些实施例中，测温窗502可以设置于第一腔段5011的上端面。
在一些实施例中，测温窗502可以与第一腔段5011的上端面平行或基本平行。在一些实施例中，“基本平行”可以指测温窗502与第一腔段5011的上端面之间的夹角在第一预设范围内。
在一些实施例中，第一预设范围可以是-10°～10°。在一些实施例中，第一预设范围可以是-8°～8°。在一些实施例中，第一预设范围可以是-6°～6°。在一些实施例中，第一预设范围可以是-5°～5°。在一些实施例中，第一预设范围可以是-2°～2°。在一些实施例中，第一预设范围可以是0°～1°。在一些实施例中，第一预设范围可以是1°～2°。
在一些实施例中，测温窗502可以与第一腔段5011的上端面不平行，二者夹角在第二预设范围内。在一些实施例中，第二预设范围可以是10°～60°。在一些实施例中，第二预设范围可以是15～55°。在一些实施例中，第二预设范围可以是20°～50°。在一些实施例中，第二预设范围可以是25°～45°。在一些实施例中，第二预设范围可以是30°～40°。在一些实施例中，第二预设范围可以是10°～20°。在一些实施例中，第二预设范围可以是20°～30°。在一些实施例中，第二预设范围可以是50°～60°。
主体部分5012可以指第一腔段5011和第二腔段5013之间的部分。第二腔段5013可以指测温腔体501的底端部分。在一些实施例中，第二腔段5013可以与炉腔400连接。
在一些实施例中，主体部分5012可以是回转体型的腔体结构，主体部分5012的直径小于炉腔400的直径。
在一些实施例中，主体部分5012的直径远小于炉腔400的直径。在一些实施例中，主体部分5012的直径与炉腔400的直径的比值可以在第二预设比值范围内。在一些实施例中，第二预设比值范围可以是1:5～1:25。在一些实施例中，第二预设比值范围可以是1:8～1:22。在一些实施例中，第二预设比值范围可以是1:11～1:19。在一些实施例中，第二预设比值范围可以是1:14～1:16。在一些实施例中，第二预设比值范围可以是1:5～1:20。在一些实施例中，第二预设比值范围可以是1:10～1:25。在一些实施例中，第二预设比值范围可以是1:5～1:15。在一些实施例中，第二预设比值范围可以是1:15～1:25。
通过将主体部分5012的直径设置为小于炉腔400的直径，可以使测温腔体501的尺寸整体小于炉腔400的尺寸，可以减小测温腔体501对炉腔400内的晶体生长环境的影响。
在一些实施例中，主体部分5012可以为渐变段，即主体部分5012的直径从与第一腔段5011连接的一端到与第二腔段5013连接的一端逐渐减小。即整个测温腔体501的形状类似于从上端至下端逐渐减小的形状。
在一些实施例中，第一腔段5011的直径和第二腔段5013的直径可以均小于主体部分5012的直径。即整个测温腔体501的形状类似为两端小中间大的形状。
在一些实施例中，参见图11，第二腔段5013的直径可以小于主体部分5012的直径，而第一腔段5011的直径可以大于或等于主体部分5012的直径。即整个测温腔体501的形状类似于上端大下端小的形状。
通过将测温腔体501设置为两端小中间大、一端大一端小或从上端至下端逐渐减小的形状，可以使得测温腔体501内的气体浓度大于炉腔400内的气体浓度(测温腔体501内的气体压力大于炉腔400内的气体压力)，这种压差的存在使得炉腔400内产生的粉尘不容易进入测温腔体501进而到达测温窗502，从而可以保证测温窗502的洁净度，从而有利于提高测温的稳定性和准确度。
如图10所示，在一些实施例中，测温结构还可以包括进气口5014和出气口5015。
进气口5014可以用于向测温腔体501内通入气体。在一些实施例中，进气口5014可以设置于第一腔段5011。在一些实施例中，进气口5014可以设置于第一腔段5011的侧壁。在一些实施例中，进气口5014可以独立于测温腔体501而设置在炉腔400上。在一些实施例中，以晶体生长为例，通过进气口5014向测温腔体501内通入的气体可以为晶体生长所需的气体，例如，氧气和/或惰性气体。惰性气体可以包括氮气、氦气、氖气、氙气、氡气等或其任意组合。
在一些实施例中，进气口5014可以设置于测温窗502附近。在一些实施例中，“附近”可以指进气口5014与测温窗502之间的距离在预设距离范围内。
在一些实施例中，预设距离范围可以是1cm～10cm。在一些实施例中，预设距离范围可以是3cm～8cm。在一些实施例中，预设距离范围可以是5cm～6cm。在一些实施例中，预设距离范围可以是1cm～3cm。在一些实施例中，预设距离范围可以是3cm～5cm。在一些实施例中，预设距离范围可以是5cm～8cm。在一些实施例中，预设距离范围可以是8cm～10cm。
在一些实施例中，进气口5014与测温窗502之间的距离可以根据进气口5014的进气流量和/或进气口5014的进气方向确定。例如，进气口5014的进气流量越大，进气口5014与测温窗502之间的距离可以越大；进气流量越小，进气口5014与测温窗502之间的距离可以越小。又例如，进气口5014的进气方向与测温窗502的内侧面的法线之间的夹角越小，进气口5014与测温窗502之间的距离可以越大；进气口5014的进气方向与测温窗502的内侧面的法线之间的夹角越大，进气口5014与测温窗502之间的距离可以越小。在一些实施例中，进气口5014的进气流量可以在满足晶体生长需求且气体能够吹扫测温窗502的内侧面的前提下根据实际需求设定。
在一些实施例中，进气口5014的进气方向可以设置为朝向(例如，倾斜朝向)测温窗502。在一些实施例中，进气口5014的进气方向与测温窗502的平面之间的夹角可以在预设角度范围内。
在一些实施例中，预设角度范围可以是5°～60°。在一些实施例中，预设角度范围可以是10°～55°。在一些实施例中，预设角度范围可以是15°～50°。在一些实施例中，预设角度范围可以是20°～45°。在一些实施例中，预设角度范围可以是25°～40°。在一些实施例中，预设角度范围可以是30°～35°。在一些实施例中，预设角度范围可以是5°～20°。在一些实施例中，预设角度范围可以是5°～40°。在一些实施例中，预设角度范围可以是25°～60°。
在一些实施例中，进气口5014的进气方向与测温窗502的平面之间的夹角可以根据测温窗502的尺寸和/或进气口5014与测温窗502之间的距离确定。例如，测温窗502的尺寸越大，进气口5014的进气方向与测温窗502的平面之间的夹角可以越大；测温窗502的尺寸越小，进气口5014的进气方向与测温窗502的平面之间的夹角可以越小。又例如，进气口5014与测温窗502之间的距离越小，进气口5014的进气方向与测温窗502的平面之间的夹角可以越大；进气口5014与测温窗502之间的距离越大，进气口5014的进气方向与测温窗502的平面之间的夹角可以越小。
通过将进气口5014设置于测温窗502附近且进气方向朝向测温窗502，从进气口5014进入测温腔体501内的气体可以吹扫测温窗502的内侧面上的至少一部分粉尘，实现对测温窗502的吹扫清洁，进而提高温度测量结果的稳定性和准确性。
在一些实施例中，出气口5015可以用于将气体通入炉腔400内。在一些实施例中，出气口5015可以设置于第二腔段5013。在一些实施例中，出气口5015可以设置于第二腔段5013底部端面。在一些实施例中，出气口5015可以与炉腔400的进气口5014相连通。在一些实施例中，出气口5015可以直接设置在炉腔400上，并与第二腔段5013导通。
通过将进气口5014设置于第一腔段5011、出气口5015设置于第二腔段5012，小直径的第二腔段5013两端分别连接较大直径的主体部分5012和炉腔400，可以构成类似“文丘里管”的结构。由于气流的方向是由第一腔段5011流入且由第二腔段5012流出，因此，第二腔段5013靠近主体部分5012的一端的压力大于第二腔段5013靠近炉腔400一端的压力，这种压差的存在使得炉腔400内产生的粉尘不容易 进入测温腔体501进而到达测温窗502，从而可以保证测温窗502的洁净度，从而有利于提高测温的稳定性和准确度。
在一些实施例中，通过设置第二腔段5012或出气口5015的直径与测温结构其他部分(如，进气口5014、主体部分5012、炉腔400等)的直径的比例关系即可调整主体部分5012与炉腔400之间的压差，从而实现较好的保证测温窗502的洁净度的效果。
在一些实施例中，出气口5015的直径小于主体部分5012的直径。在一些实施例中，出气口5015的直径远小于主体部分5012的直径。在一些实施例中，出气口5015的直径与主体部分5012的直径的比值可以在第一预设比值范围内。
在一些实施例中，第一预设比值范围可以是1:5～1:20。在一些实施例中，第一预设比值范围可以是1:8～1:17。在一些实施例中，第一预设比值范围可以是1:11～1:14。在一些实施例中，第一预设比值范围可以是1:5～1:15。在一些实施例中，第一预设比值范围可以是1:10～1:20。
通过将出气口5015的直径设置为小于主体部分5012的直径(或二者直径的比值在预设范围内)，可以使得测温腔体501内的气体压力大于炉腔400内的气体压力，这种压差的存在使得炉腔400内产生的粉尘不容易进入测温腔体501进而到达测温窗502，从而可以保证测温窗502的洁净度，从而提高测温的稳定性和准确度。
在一些实施例中，主体部分5012的直径小于炉腔400的直径。在一些实施例中，主体部分5012的直径远小于炉腔400的直径。在一些实施例中，主体部分5012的直径与炉腔400的直径的比值可以在第二预设比值范围内。在一些实施例中，第二预设比值范围可以是1:5～1:25。在一些实施例中，第二预设比值范围可以是1:8～1:22。在一些实施例中，第二预设比值范围可以是1:11～1:19。在一些实施例中，第二预设比值范围可以是1:14～1:16。在一些实施例中，第二预设比值范围可以是1:5～1:20。在一些实施例中，第二预设比值范围可以是1:10～1:25。在一些实施例中，第二预设比值范围可以是1:5～1:15。在一些实施例中，第二预设比值范围可以是1:15～1:25。
在一些实施例中，出气口5015的直径可以小于进气口5014的直径。
在一些实施例中，出气口5015的直径与进气口5014的直径的比例可以在第三预设比值范围内。在一些实施例中，第三预设比值范围可以是1:1.5～1:5。在一些实施例中，第三预设比值范围可以是1:2～1:4.5。在一些实施例中，第三预设比值范围可以是1:2.5～1:4。在一些实施例中，第三预设比值范围可以是1:3～1:3.5。在一些实施例中，第三预设比值范围可以是1:1.5～1:3.5。在一些实施例中，第三预设比值范围可以是1:3～1:5。
通过将出气口5015的直径设置为小于进气口5014的直径，可以使得测温腔体501内的气体浓度大于炉腔400内的气体浓度(测温腔体501内的气体压力大于炉腔400内的气体压力)，这种压差的存在使得炉腔400内产生的粉尘不容易进入测温腔体501进而到达测温窗502，从而可以保证测温窗502的洁净度，从而有利于提高测温的稳定性和准确度。
图12是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的测温结构的结构示意图。以下结合图9对测温结构进行详细说明。如图12所示，在一些实施例中，测温结构还可以包括加热器5016。
加热器5016可以用于加热主体部分5012。在一些实施例中，加热器5016可以包覆或环绕在主体部分5012外表面或外表面的外围空间中，以均匀加热主体部分5012。
在一些实施例中，加热器5016可以包括电阻加热组件、感应加热组件等。
通过加热主体部分5012，可以使得测温腔体501内的气体温度高于炉腔400内的气体温度，进而使得测温腔体501内的气体压力高于炉腔400内的气体压力，这种压差的存在使得炉腔400内产生的粉尘不容易进入测温腔体501进而到达测温窗502，从而可以保证测温窗502的洁净度，从而有利于提高测温的稳定性和准确度。
图13是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的测温结构的结构示意图。以下结合图10对测温结构进行详细说明。如图13所示，在一些实施例中，测温结构还可以包括冷却器5017。冷却器5017可以用于冷却第二腔段5013。
在一些实施例中，冷却器5017的冷却方式可以包括水冷、气冷等冷却方式。在一些实施例中，冷却器5017可以设置(如，包覆)在第二腔段5013的外表面或外表面的外围空间中，以均匀冷却第二腔段5013。
通过在第二腔段5013外表面设置冷却器5017，可以使得第二腔段5013的温度低于主体部分5012的温度以进一步增大主体部分5012与第二腔段5013的压差，且炉腔400内产生的粉尘在到达第二腔段5013附近时遇冷凝结，使得粉尘不容易进入测温腔体501进而到达测温窗502，从而有效防止粉尘在测温窗502内侧的沉积。
图14是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的测温结构的结构示意图。以下结合图11对测温结构进行 详细说明。如图14所示，在一些实施例中，测温结构还可以包括沉积腔600。沉积腔600可以与炉腔400连通，用于沉积炉腔400内产生的粉尘。
在一些实施例中，沉积腔600可以一端封闭，另一端与炉腔400连通。在一些实施例中，沉积腔600上可以开设两个或以上连通孔，各个连通孔分别通过独立的通道与炉腔400连通，炉腔400内的气体可以通过通道进入到沉积腔600内。
在一些实施例中，沉积腔600的数量可以为两个，对称设置于炉腔400的两侧，使得对炉腔400内的环境的影响尽可量均衡。在一些实施例中，沉积腔600的数量可以为一个、三个或更多，本说明书对此不作限制。
由于沉积腔600内的气体的流动性相对炉腔400内的气体的流动性较差，因此通过设置沉积腔600，可以使炉腔400内产生的粉尘沉积于沉积腔内，从而减少进入测温腔体501内的粉尘，有效防止粉尘在测温窗502内侧的沉积。
在一些实施例中，沉积腔600内的温度可以低于炉腔400内的温度。在一些实施例中，可以通过冷却器冷却沉积腔600来控制沉积腔600内的温度。冷却器的设置可以与前述冷却器5017的设置类似，在此不再赘述。
通过将沉积腔600内的温度控制为低于炉腔400内的温度，可以使炉腔400内的粉尘更容易冷却沉积到沉积腔600内，从而减少粉尘在测温窗502内侧的沉积。
图15是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的测温结构的结构示意图。以下结合图12对测温结构进行详细说明。如图15所示，在一些实施例中，测温结构还可以包括沉积腔600。沉积腔600可以与第二腔段5013连通，用于沉积炉腔400内产生到并运动到第二腔段5013附近的粉尘。
在一些实施例中，沉积腔600可以一端为封闭，另一端与第二腔段5013连通。在一些实施例中，沉积腔600上开设两个或以上连通孔，各个连通孔分别通过独立的通道与第二腔段5013连通。
在一些实施例中，沉积腔600的数量可以为两个，对称设置于第二腔段5013的两侧，使得对炉腔400内的环境的影响尽可能均衡。在一些实施例中，沉积腔600的数量可以为一个、三个或更多，本说明书对此不作限制。
由于沉积腔600内的气体的流动性相对测温腔体501和炉腔400内的气体的流动性较差，因此通过设置沉积腔600，可以使炉腔400内产生的粉尘运动到第二腔段5013附近时容易沉积于沉积腔内，从而减少进入测温腔体501内的粉尘，有效防止粉尘在测温窗502内侧的沉积。
在一些实施例中，沉积腔600内的温度低于炉腔400内的温度和测温腔体501内的温度，并且沉积腔600内的压力低于测温腔体501内的压力。
在一些实施例中，可以通过冷却器冷却沉积腔600来控制沉积腔600内的温度。该冷却器的设置可以与前述冷却器5017的设置类似，在此不再赘述。
通过将沉积腔600内的温度控制为低于炉腔400内的温度和测温腔体501内的温度以及沉积腔600内的压力控制为低于测温腔体501内的压力，可以使炉腔400内的粉尘更容易冷却沉积到沉积腔600内，从而减少粉尘在测温窗502内侧的沉积。
图16是根据本说明书一些实施例所示的示例性晶体生长设备的结构示意图。
在一些实施例中，保温装置200可以包括第一保温组件201。在一些实施例中，第一保温组件201至少设置于坩埚100的周侧。在一些实施例中，第一保温组件201可以仅设置于坩埚100的周侧。在一些实施例中，第一保温组件201也可以同时设置于坩埚100的周侧和底侧。在一些实施例中，第一保温组件201也可以同时设置于坩埚100的周侧和顶侧。在一些实施例中，第一保温组件201也可以同时设置于坩埚100的周侧、顶侧和底侧。在一些实施例中，第一保温组件201包括内层2011、外层2012和中层2013，其中，中层2013位于内层2011和外层2012之间。通过设置内层、外层和中层结合的多层保温结构，可以使得内层因受热挥发变薄及外层因杂质沉积导致保温性能变差时，中层仍然能维持良好的保温效果，且彼此独立的结构可以更方便更换内层和/或外层，降低保温装置维护的成本及提高保温装置维护的效率。
在一些实施例中，内层2011的厚度需满足预设条件，避免因厚度太薄导致更换频次太高，厚度太厚导致成本太高等。此外，内层2011的厚度还可以设置为沿轴向的独立结构，可以维持轴向不同位置处的良好的保温效果，同时方便针对不同位置的损耗情况进行针对性的维护和更换。下文将进行详细描述。
在一些实施例中，综合考虑内层2011的成本和更换频次，可以将内层2011的厚度设置在一定厚度范围内。在一些实施例中，内层2011的厚度可以在4mm-57mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，内层2011的厚度可以在5mm-55mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，内层2011的厚度可以在7mm-52mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，内层2011的厚度可以在10mm-50mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，内层2011的厚度可 以在13mm-47mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，内层2011的厚度可以在15mm-45mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，内层2011的厚度可以在17mm-43mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，内层2011的厚度可以在20mm-40mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，内层2011的厚度可以在22mm-37mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，内层2011的厚度可以在25mm-35mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，内层2011的厚度可以在27mm-32mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，内层2011的厚度可以在28mm-30mm的范围内。
通过设置内层的厚度在一定厚度范围内，可以降低内层的初始成本，降低内层的更换频次及更换成本，提高内层的使用寿命，以及维持晶体生长过程的工艺稳定性。
在一些实施例中，为了保证内层2011及外层2012损耗时，中层2013可以维持良好稳定的保温效果，且同时考虑成本，中层2013的厚度需设置在一定范围内。在一些实施例中，中层2013的厚度可以在28mm-143mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，中层2013的厚度可以在30mm-140mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，中层2013的厚度可以在35mm-135mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，中层2013的厚度可以在40mm-130mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，中层2013的厚度可以在45mm-135mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，中层2013的厚度可以在50mm-130mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，中层2013的厚度可以在55mm-125mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，中层2013的厚度可以在60mm-120mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，中层2013的厚度可以在65mm-115mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，中层2013的厚度可以在70mm-110mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，中层2013的厚度可以在75mm-105mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，中层2013的厚度可以在80mm-100mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，中层2013的厚度可以在85mm-95mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，中层2013的厚度可以在88mm-90mm的范围内。
通过将中层的厚度设置在一定范围内，可以使得坩埚以及内层受热挥发产生的杂质尽量刚好挥发到外层，而不会停留在中层，因此不会影响中层的保温效果，相应可以保证在内层由于损耗变薄以及外层有杂质沉积时，中层可以维持良好稳定的保温效果，则生产过程中基本无需更换中层，节约生产成本。
在一些实施例中，为了尽量使得挥发物沉积于外层而非中层，中层2013和内层2011的总厚度需满足一定条件。在一些实施例中，中层2013和内层2011的总厚度可以大于50mm。在一些实施例中，中层2013和内层2011的总厚度可以大于55mm。在一些实施例中，中层2013和内层2011的总厚度可以大于60mm。在一些实施例中，中层2013和内层2011的总厚度可以大于65mm。在一些实施例中，中层2013和内层2011的总厚度可以大于70mm。在一些实施例中，中层2013和内层2011的总厚度可以大于75mm。在一些实施例中，中层2013和内层2011的总厚度可以大于80mm。
通过设置中层和内层的总厚度大于一定值，可以使得中层外侧的温度尽量高于挥发物沉积或结晶的温度，以使挥发物尽量沉积于外层而非中层，从而维持中层良好的保温效果。
在一些实施例中，中层2013的厚度大于内层2011的厚度和外层2012的厚度。通过设置中层的厚度大于内层的厚度和外层的厚度，可以保证在内层损耗以及外层上有杂质沉积而导致保温效果变化时，中层可以维持良好稳定的保温效果，降低内层损耗及外层杂质沉积对整个保温装置保温性能的影响，提升保温性能的稳定性，并且在内层由于损耗变薄需要更换时，中层可以起到支撑作用，提高保温装置的结构稳定性。
在一些实施例中，综合考虑实际生产过程中的更换成本和实际保温效果，外层2012的厚度需要设置在一定厚度范围内。在一些实施例中，外层2012的厚度可以在7mm-42mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，外层2012的厚度可以10mm-40mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，外层2012的厚度可以12mm-38mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，外层2012的厚度可以15mm-35mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，外层2012的厚度可以17mm-33mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，外层2012的厚度可以20mm-30mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，外层2012的厚度可以22mm-28mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，外层2012的厚度可以25mm-27mm的范围内。
在一些实施例中，结合上文，综合考虑保温装置整体的维护成本及保温效果，内层2011、中层2013和外层2012的总厚度需设定在一定范围内。在一些实施例中，内层2011、中层2013和外层2012的总厚度可以在50mm-200mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，内层2011、中层2013和外层2012的总厚度可以在60mm-190mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，内层2011、中层2013和外层2012的总厚度可以在70mm-180mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，内层2011、中层2013和外层2012的总厚度可以在80mm-170mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，内层2011、中层2013和外层2012的总厚度可以在90mm-160mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，内层2011、中层2013和外层2012的总厚度可以在100mm-150mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，内层2011、中层2013和外层2012的总厚度可以在110mm-140mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，内层2011、中层2013和外层2012的总厚度可以在120mm-130mm的范围内。

在一些实施例中，内层2011的材质可以包括石墨毡。通过将内层设置为石墨毡材质，可以保证保温性能稳定、便于更换。
在一些实施例中，外层2012的材质可以与内层2011的材质可以不同。在一些实施例中，外层2012的致密度大于内层2011的致密度。在一些实施例中，外层2012的材质可以包括氧化锆、氧化铝、碳材料或碳纤维材料中的至少一种。
通过设置相对致密、热导率相对小的外层材质，可以使得受热挥发的杂质沉积在外层上时对外层的保温性能影响较小，从而使得保温装置的保温性能较为稳定。同时，外层材质比内层材质的成本更低，可以从整体上降低成本。
在一些实施例中，中层2013的材质可以与内层2011相同或不同，可以结合实际需求或成本设定。例如，中层2013的材质可以包括石墨毡、陶瓷等。
在一些实施例中，为了防止在晶体生长过程中，内层、中层和/或外层的杂质进入坩埚中造成晶体缺陷，需要设置内层、中层和/或外层材质的杂质率低于一定量。
在一些实施例中，内层2011材质的杂质率可以小于100ppm。在一些实施例中，内层2011材质的杂质率可以小于90ppm。在一些实施例中，内层2011材质的杂质率可以小于80ppm。在一些实施例中，内层2011材质的杂质率可以小于70ppm。在一些实施例中，内层2011材质的杂质率可以小于60ppm。在一些实施例中，内层2011材质的杂质率可以小于50ppm。
在一些实施例中，中层2013材质的杂质率可以小于100ppm。在一些实施例中，在一些实施例中，中层2013材质的杂质率可以小于90ppm。在一些实施例中，中层2013材质的杂质率可以小于80ppm。在一些实施例中，中层2013材质的杂质率可以小于70ppm。在一些实施例中，中层2013材质的杂质率可以小于60ppm。在一些实施例中，中层2013材质的杂质率可以小于50ppm。
在一些实施例中，外层2012材质的杂质率可以小于100ppm。在一些实施例中，外层2012材质的杂质率可以小于90ppm。在一些实施例中，外层2012材质的杂质率可以小于80ppm。在一些实施例中， 外层2012材质的杂质率可以小于70ppm。在一些实施例中，外层2012材质的杂质率可以小于60ppm。在一些实施例中，外层2012材质的杂质率可以小于50ppm。
通常情况下，内层、中层和/或外层的杂质输运受温度梯度和浓度两个因素影响，绝大部分杂质会在温度梯度的驱动下往保温装置外输运，少量杂质会在浓度因素的驱动下向内扩散到坩埚处。因此，为了保证在晶体生长过程中尽量少的杂质进入坩埚中造成晶体缺陷，需要设置内层、中层或/或外层材质(尤其是内层)的杂质率满足一定关系。
在一些实施例中，内层2011的杂质率最低。在一些实施例中，外层2012材质的杂质率≥中层2013材质的杂质率。在一些实施例中，中层2013材质的杂质率≥内层2011材质的杂质率。在一些实施例中，外层2012材质的杂质率≥中层2013材质的杂质率≥内层2011材质的杂质率。
在一些实施例中，在实际晶体生长过程中，由于内层2011设置在紧邻坩埚外部，所处温度较高，内层2011中的杂质受热挥发会导致内层损耗变薄、保温性能降低。因此，可以将内层2011设计为独立的可更换结构，方便后续更换。此外，结合前文，由于晶体生长过程中需存在轴向温度梯度，相应地，轴向不同位置处的温度不同，其所需的保温性能也会有所不同。因此，可以根据温度梯度将内层2011设计沿轴向厚度不同的结构，相应可以维持轴向不同位置处的良好的保温效果，同时方便针对不同位置的损耗情况进行针对性的维护和/或更换。下面将结合图17A-17D，对内层2011的具体结构进行详细阐述。
在一些实施例中，如图17A所示，内层2011可以包括至少两个保温段111。在一些实施例中，至少两个保温段111可以上下堆叠。在一些实施例中，保温段111可以为圆环形保温段，至少两个圆环形保温段可以上下堆叠，形成圆筒形结构。在一些实施例中，为了保证上下堆叠形成的内层2011的稳定性，可以将相邻两个保温段111的上下接触面制作为嵌套结构。例如，对于相邻的两个保温段111，上方保温段111的下表面设置凸起、下方保温段111的上表面设置与其对应的凹槽，使得相邻的两个保温段上下堆叠后，贴合地更加紧密、牢固。
在一些实施例中，如图17B所示，每一个保温段111可以包括至少两块保温块112。在一些实施例中，至少两块保温块112可以沿周向块状拼接，形成圆环形结构。在一些实施例中，为了保证沿周向块状拼接形成的保温段111的稳定性，可以将相邻的两块保温块112的两个接触面制作为嵌套结构。例如，对于相邻的两个保温块112，一个保温块112的接触面设置凸起、另一个保温块上与其接触的接触面设置对应的凹槽，使得相邻的两个保温块沿周向块状拼接后，贴合地更加紧密、牢固。
在一些实施例中，如图17C所示，内层2011沿轴向的厚度可以不同。在一些实施例中，内层2011沿轴向方向的厚度可以基于温场分布(或温度梯度)设计。
通过设置内层的厚度沿轴向不同(例如，基于温场分布设计内层沿轴向方向的厚度)，可以使得内层的厚度可以根据实际温场分布进行调整，并且可以针对内层不同位置处的损耗情况进行针对性更换(例如，一次仅更换一个或多个保温段、保温块等)，相应可以维持良好的保温效果，同时节约生产成本。
在一些实施例中，如图17D所示，内层2011沿轴向的厚度不同，且设置为上下堆叠的至少两个保温段111。
在一些实施例中，由于中层2013的结构和保温性能随使用时间的变化较小，中层2013可以为整体结构(例如，整体保温筒)，方便中层的安装，且维持良好的保温效果。同时在更换内层时还可以起到支撑作用，提高保温装置的结构稳定性。
在一些实施例中，内层2011和中层2013之间可以紧密贴合设置。在一些实施例中，中层2013和外层2012之间可以紧密贴合设置。
在一些实施例中，如图18所示，内层2011和中层2013之间可以设置间隙。在一些实施例中，中层2013和外层2012之间可以设置间隙。在一些实施例中，内层2011和中层2013之间的间隙与中层2013和外层2012之间的间隙的尺寸可以相同，也可以不同。在一些实施例中，内层2011和中层2013之间的间隙的尺寸可以是内层2011的外侧面与中层2013的内侧面的最短距离。在一些实施例中，中层2013和外层2012之间的间隙的尺寸可以是中层2013的外侧面与外层2012的内侧面的最短距离。
在一些实施例中，间隙的尺寸可以在0mm-10mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，间隙的尺寸可以在1mm-9mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，间隙的尺寸可以在2mm-8mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，间隙的尺寸可以在3mm-7mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，间隙的尺寸可以在4mm-6mm的范围内。在一些实施例中，间隙的尺寸可以在4mm-5mm的范围内。
在一些实施例中，如图18所示，内层2011和中层2013之间的间隙可以不填充保温材料。在一些实施例中，如图18所示，中层2013和外层2012之间的间隙可以不填充保温材料。
由于间隙内的空气热导率低于固体的热导率，因此间隙内的空气可以充当一层保温层，起到保温的作用；同时，由于内层、中层和外层之间存在间隙，便于后期更换内层。
在一些实施例中，内层2011和中层2013之间的间隙可以填充保温材料。在一些实施例中，中层2013和外层2012之间的间隙可以填充保温材料。在一些实施例中，保温材料可以包括颗粒物、毡状物或砖状物中的一种或多种。在一些实施例中，保温材料的材质可以包括氧化硅、氧化铝、氧化锆、石墨、碳纤维或陶瓷中的一种或多种。在一些实施例中，内层2011和中层2013之间的间隙可以填充石墨软毡。
在一些实施例中，内层2011和中层2013之间的间隙可以填充保温材料，中层2013和外层2012之间的间隙可以不填充保温材料。在一些实施例中，内层2011和中层2013之间的间隙可以不填充保温材料，中层2013和外层2012之间的间隙可以填充保温材料。
通过在内层和中层之间的间隙以及中层和外层之间的间隙填充保温材料，可以提升保温装置的保温性能，有助于调控外层的温度，使得外层的温度达到预设温度(例如，晶体生长前设置的温度)。此外，由于保温材料(例如，石墨软毡)便于取出，便于更换内层，并且在更换内层后保温材料可以再装入间隙中重复使用，节约生产成本。
在一些实施例中，如图19所示，中层2013和外层2012之间可以填充石墨纸2014。由于石墨纸的孔隙率低，挥发物难以穿过而在其表面沉积，因此石墨纸可以作为挥发物的预沉积层，相应可以减少沉积在外层上的挥发物，降低外层损耗。同时，石墨纸易于更换且成本低，可以提高保温性能的稳定性，降低生产成本。
在一些实施例中，中层2013和外层2012之间可以填充其他孔隙率较低的材质，本说明书对此不作限制。
在一些实施例中，保温装置200还包括第二保温组件202，第二保温组件202设置于晶体生长设备10的顶部。例如，如图20所示，第二保温组件202可以是顶保温层。
在一些实施例中，第二保温组件202包括层叠结构，层叠结构的材质相同。例如，层叠结构的材质可以是石墨毡、氧化锆、氧化铝、碳材料或碳纤维材料中的至少一种。通过设置层叠结构，可以使得第二保温组件的厚度随着层叠结构的层数而改变，使得第二保温组件的厚度可以根据实际温场分布进行调整，方便保温装置维持良好稳定的保温效果，同时节约生产成本。例如，当需要增加第二保温组件202的厚度时，可以增加层叠结构的层数即可实现厚度增加，类似的，当需要减小第二保温组件202的厚度时，可以减少层叠结构的层数即可实现厚度减小。
在一些实施例中，第二保温组件202的层叠结构的层数可以是0-15层。在一些实施例中，第二保温组件202的层叠结构的层数可以是0-10层。在一些实施例中，第二保温组件202的层叠结构的层数可以是0-6层。
在一些实施例中，第二保温组件202可以包括多个保温段。在一些实施例中，第二保温组件202的保温段可以是环形结构，每个保温段的直径不同，且多个保温段可以沿径向套叠。在一些实施例中，径向套叠的多个保温段中相邻保温段彼此抵接，以组成第二保温组件202。通过设置多个沿径向分布的保温段，可以为每个保温段单独设置厚度(如层数)，以调控晶体生长设备10内径向温度分布。在一些实施例中，通过设置沿径向分布的保温段的数量可以增加生长设备10内径向温度分布的调控精细程度。在一些实施例中，沿径向分布的保温段的数量可以为2-10个。在一些实施例中，沿径向分布的保温段的数量可以为2-6个。在一些实施例中，沿径向分布的保温段的数量可以为2-15个。
在一些实施例中，保温装置还包括第三保温组件203，第二保温组件202设置于坩埚100的顶部外侧。例如，如图21所示，第三保温组件203可以是锅顶保温层。
在一些实施例中，第三保温组件203包括环形结构或圆形结构。例如，第三保温组件203的材质可以包括石墨毡、氧化锆、氧化铝、碳材料或碳纤维材料中的一种或多种。在一些实施例中，通过设置环形结构的参数可以改变第三保温组件203的保温效果。在一些实施例中，环形结构的参数可以包括环形结构的内径(也称为内半径)、环形结构的外径(也称为外半径)。如图6所示，环形结构的内径可以指环形结构的内侧距离坩埚100的轴线的距离，环形结构的外径可以指环形结构的外侧距离坩埚100的轴线的距离。通过设置环形结构的参数，可以使得第三保温组件的保温效果随着环形结构的内径、外径范围而改变，使得第三保温组件的保温效果可以根据实际温场分布需求进行调整，方便保温装置维持良好稳定的保温效果，同时节约生产成本。例如，通过增大环形结构的外径可以增加坩埚100内边缘区域的温度，通过减小环形结构的内径可以增加坩埚100内中心区域的温度。
在一些实施例中，环形结构的内径ri范围可以为10mm-90mm。在一些实施例中，环形结构的内径ri范围可以为30mm-90mm。在一些实施例中，环形结构的内径ri范围可以为30mm-60mm。在一些实施例中，环形结构的内径ri范围可以为60mm-90mm。
在一些实施例中，环形结构的外径ro范围可以为90mm-200mm。在一些实施例中，环形结构的外径ro范围可以为90mm-150mm。在一些实施例中，环形结构的外径ro范围可以为90mm-120mm。
在一些实施例中，环形结构的外径ro与坩埚100的尺寸相关。在一些实施例中，环形结构的外径 ro与坩埚100的半径的比值可以为0.6-1.2。在一些实施例中，环形结构的外径ro与坩埚100的半径的比值可以为0.8-1.2。在一些实施例中，环形结构的外径ro与坩埚100的半径的比值可以为0.6-1。在一些实施例中，环形结构的外径ro与坩埚100的半径的比值可以为0.6-0.8。
在一些实施例中，环形结构的内径ri与外径的比值范围可以为0.1-0.8。在一些实施例中，环形结构的内径ri与外径ro的比值范围可以为0.3-0.8。在一些实施例中，环形结构的内径ri与外径ro的比值范围可以为0.5-0.8。
在一些实施例中，环形结构的内径与坩埚100的半径的比值范围可以为0.1-0.9。在一些实施例中，环形结构的内径与坩埚100的半径的比值范围可以为0.1-0.8。在一些实施例中，环形结构的内径与坩埚100的半径的比值范围可以为0.3-0.8。
上文已对基本概念做了描述，显然，对于本领域技术人员来说，上述详细披露仅仅作为示例，而并不构成对本申请的限定。虽然此处并没有明确说明，本领域技术人员可能会对本申请进行各种修改、改进和修正。该类修改、改进和修正在本申请中被建议，所以该类修改、改进、修正仍属于本申请示范实施例的精神和范围。
同时，本申请使用了特定词语来描述本申请的实施例。如“一个实施例”、“一实施例”、和/或“一些实施例”意指与本申请至少一个实施例相关的某一特征、结构或特点。因此，应强调并注意的是，本说明书中在不同位置两次或多次提及的“一实施例”或“一个实施例”或“一个替代性实施例”并不一定是指同一实施例。此外，本申请的一个或多个实施例中的某些特征、结构或特点可以进行适当的组合。
同理，应当注意的是，为了简化本申请披露的表述，从而帮助对一个或多个发明实施例的理解，前文对本申请实施例的描述中，有时会将多种特征归并至一个实施例、附图或对其的描述中。但是，这种披露方法并不意味着本申请对象所需要的特征比权利要求中提及的特征多。实际上，实施例的特征要少于上述披露的单个实施例的全部特征。
最后，应当理解的是，本申请中所述实施例仅用以说明本申请实施例的原则。其他的变形也可能属于本申请的范围。因此，作为示例而非限制，本申请实施例的替代配置可视为与本申请的教导一致。相应地，本申请的实施例不仅限于本申请明确介绍和描述的实施例。
