Test case
In the crystal pulling process, when the process enters an equal diameter stage after shoulder turning, the equal diameter power refers to the power value required by the equal diameter process, is stable power required to be maintained when the growth diameters of crystals are equal (diameter deviation is +/-0.5 mm) in the drawing growth process, and can be directly read from the feedback value of a power supply cabinet.
The periphery of the crystal bar which is perfectly normal is provided with 4 evenly distributed ridgelines which are parallel to the central line of the crystal bar, in the crystal pulling process, when the 4 ridgelines disappear, the ridgelines are called broken ridges or broken lines, after the ridgelines disappear, the CCD image recognition automatically detects the ridgelines disappear, namely the ridgelines are broken lines are abnormal, and the wire breaking rate of a single crystal furnace refers to the number of times/days of the broken lines.
The total breaking rate is the sum of the shouldering breaking rate and the equal-diameter breaking rate (the sum of the breaking rate of the shouldering process and the breaking rate of the equal-diameter process), the total breaking rate is more than 500 breaking rate, the equal-diameter length is more than 500mm, the equal-diameter length is less than or equal to 500mm, and the shouldering breaking rate is the breaking rate of the disappearance of 4 edge lines in the shouldering process.
The diameter control means that the single crystal furnace is provided with a CCD phase formation detection function, the diameter is automatically detected to be in a constant range (within +/-0.5 of deviation) through image processing and PID regulation, and when the deviation is large, the heating power is automatically regulated to maintain the relative stability of the diameter.
The single furnace per unit calculation method is the total available crystallization (normal ingot with high oxygen content, unqualified resistivity, etc. available for slicing) weight/day.
The results of measurements of the breakage rate, yield, pulverization of carbon felt, strength of heat-insulating layer and stability of the seed crystal production of examples 1 to 10 and comparative examples 1 to 3 are shown in Table 1.
TABLE 1
By comparing examples 1-10 with comparative examples 1-3, it can be seen that example 1 has the smallest isodiametric power, the lowest total breakage, and only 17% isodiametric breakage and shoulderingThe wire breakage rate is also lowest, the control effect on the diameter of the crystal bar is best, the deviation is +/-0.5 mm, the unit yield is best, the unit yield is 197 kg/day, the carbon felt is not pulverized at all, and the strength and the stability of the heat insulation layer are good. The surface of the carbon felt filler in the high-density blocking region 303 is coated with a high-temperature-resistant nanomaterial reflective coating, which is more beneficial to reducing the risk of breakage of the crystal pulling. No tungsten-molybdenum steel reinforcement 8 is arranged between the inclined low temperature gradient zone 302 and the high density blocking zone 303, which is more beneficial to controlling pulverization of carbon felt and improving strength and stability of the heat preservation layer. Connect the bottom of second cone section 202 and the bottom of first cone section 102 through bearing structure 7 to set up high dense blocking area 303, more do benefit to the reduction and pull out the line risk, improve the productivity ratio, improve the intensity and the stability of heat preservation. 2-8 high-density carbon felt layers 4 horizontally arranged are filled in the temperature gradient enhancement region 301 at intervals along the vertical direction, so that the risk of broken lines in crystal pulling is reduced, and the yield is improved. By making the density of the high-density carbon felt layer 4 0.17g/cm 3 -0.24g/cm 3 The density of the low density carbon felt layer 5 was 0.08g/cm 3 -0.16g/cm 3 The method is more beneficial to reducing the risk of crystal pulling and wire breakage, controlling the diameter, improving the yield, inhibiting the pulverization of the carbon felt and improving the strength and the stability of the heat preservation. The inclined angle between the high-density carbon felt layer 4 and the vertical direction is 5-25 degrees, so that the risk of broken wires in crystal pulling is reduced. The silicon nitride coating is coated on the surfaces of the high-density carbon felt layer 4 which is vertically arranged and the high-density carbon felt layer 4 which is obliquely arranged, so that the risk of broken wires in pulling is reduced. Through set up tungsten molybdenum steel sheet layer in the both sides of the high density carbon felt 4 of vertical setting, more do benefit to the reduction and pull out broken line risk, restrain the carbon felt and powdered, improve the intensity and the stability of heat preservation. The high-density carbon felt layer 4 arranged at the non-filling level of the temperature gradient enhancement zone 301 increases the isodiametric power, increases the risk of crystal pulling and wire breakage, is unfavorable for controlling the diameter, greatly reduces the unit yield, the carbon felt is easy to pulverize, reduces the strength and stability of the heat insulation layer, and the high-density carbon felt layer 4 arranged vertically is not filled in the temperature gradient enhancement zone 301, increases the isodiametric power, increases the risk of crystal pulling and wire breakage, is unfavorable for controlling the diameter, greatly reduces the unit yield, the carbon felt is easy to pulverize, reduces the strength and stability of the heat insulation layer, and is suitable for being used in the inclined low-temperature gradient zone 3 02 do not set up high density carbon felt layer 4, can increase the constant diameter power, increase and draw the broken string risk, be unfavorable for controlling the diameter, reduce the unit yield by a wide margin, reduce the intensity and the stability of heat preservation.
