The crystal growth furnace is used for executing the monitoring method in the crystal growth furnace provided by the following embodiments. Specifically, the monitoring method in the crystal growth furnace provided by the application is characterized in that a single crystal silicon rod and a crystal pulling wire are fixedly arranged in the crystal growth furnace. The crystal furnace comprises a plurality of windows; the image equipment, the size measuring equipment, the displacement acquisition equipment and the environment monitoring equipment are integrated in the detection unit; the detection unit is arranged on the track; the track is fixedly arranged on the outer wall of the crystal growth furnace; the detection unit moves between the windows through the rail.

Optionally, a temperature sensor 342 is also used to collect the level temperature of the molten polysilicon. Based on the possible implementation manners of the crystal growth furnace and the environment monitoring device in the foregoing embodiment, a possible implementation manner of the monitoring method in the crystal growth furnace is given below, a flow of the method may be executed by the controller 6 in fig. 1, specifically, fig. 4 is a schematic flow diagram of the monitoring method in the crystal growth furnace provided in an embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 4, the method includes:
s101, receiving in-furnace image data collected by the imaging equipment in each window. The in-furnace image data includes: first image data, second image data, and third image data. The first image data is image data of the single crystal silicon rod. The second image data is image data of molten polysilicon. The third image data is image data of the crucible.
Alternatively, the imaging Device may adopt a CCD (Charge Coupled Device) camera, which has the advantages of strong light resistance, small size and the like, and is suitable for a working environment with strong brightness in a crystal growth furnace.
The monitoring of the inner environments of the furnace such as the monocrystalline silicon rod, the molten polycrystalline silicon, the crucible and the like in the furnace can be realized by the operator through the acquired image data in the furnace.
S102, receiving size data collected by size measuring equipment in each window. The dimensional data includes: diameter data of the single crystal silicon rod, diameter data of the crystal growth furnace and height data of the crystal growth furnace.
Alternatively, the dimension measuring device may be a laser displacement sensor, a photoelectric rotation speed sensor, or the like.
Alternatively, the diameter data of the measured single crystal silicon may be diameter data of the single crystal silicon rod at the molten polycrystalline silicon.
Alternatively, when the dimension measuring apparatus is a laser displacement sensor, it is difficult to confirm the actual position of the single crystal silicon rod because light generated due to a relatively high temperature in the crystal growth furnace interferes with the measurement of the laser displacement sensor. Therefore, the diameter data of the single crystal silicon rod collected by the laser displacement sensor can be corrected by adopting the imaging equipment. Specifically, a picture of the single crystal silicon rod is acquired through an imaging device, the diameter boundary position of the single crystal silicon rod is determined, and the information of the diameter boundary position measured in the laser displacement sensor is selected as the diameter data of the single crystal silicon rod.
S103, receiving the displacement data of the crystal pulling line collected by the displacement collecting equipment.
Because the single crystal silicon rod and the crystal pulling wire are fixedly arranged, the displacement data of the crystal pulling wire is the displacement data of the single crystal silicon rod. For example, the displacement data of the pulling wire is 5 cm, and similarly, the single crystal silicon rod is moved up by 5 cm, which represents that the single crystal silicon rod grows by 5 cm. The displacement acquisition equipment directly tests the displacement data of the crystal pulling wire, and actually indirectly tests the displacement data of the single crystal silicon rod.
Alternatively, the displacement acquisition device may be a laser displacement sensor.
And S104, receiving the environmental information collected by the environmental monitoring equipment in each window.
The image equipment, the size measuring equipment and the environment monitoring equipment in the steps are all collected in each window. The detection unit moves on the track, so that the detection unit can collect data at each window, and the environment in the crystal growth furnace can be monitored in an all-round manner.
And S105, generating a three-dimensional image of the silicon single crystal rod according to the first image data, the diameter data of the silicon single crystal rod and the displacement data.
From the diameter data and the displacement data of the single crystal silicon rod, an external configuration of the single crystal silicon rod can be determined. And by combining the image data, the external appearance of the silicon single crystal rod can be reflected more truly.
And S106, storing the environment information corresponding to each coordinate point according to the mapping relation between each coordinate point on the three-dimensional image and the environment information.
It should be noted that the imaging device, the size measuring device, the displacement collecting device, and the environment monitoring device are integrated on the same detection unit to ensure that the collected environment information corresponds to the coordinate point.
It should be noted that, because the temperature in the furnace is high, the equipment capable of remotely acquiring the diameter data, the displacement data and the environmental information is selected to ensure that the equipment can normally work.
According to the monitoring method in the crystal growth furnace provided by the embodiment, the three-dimensional image of the single crystal silicon rod is established by acquiring the first image data and the diameter data of the single crystal silicon rod at each window and acquiring the displacement data of the crystal pulling wire, and the acquired environmental information is stored in the three-dimensional image. The crystallization environment in the crystal growth furnace can be comprehensively monitored by observing the three-dimensional image, the acquired image data in the furnace and the size data.
Optionally, the environmental monitoring device comprises: a temperature sensor. The environmental information is temperature data collected by the temperature sensor in each window.
Wherein the temperature data may include: the temperature of parts in the crystal growth furnace, the temperature of all positions of the liquid level of the molten polycrystalline silicon, the crystal growth temperature of the silicon rod and the liquid level of the molten silicon and the temperature of all positions of the grown monocrystalline silicon.
Alternatively, the temperature data collected by the temperature sensor may be calibrated using an imaging device. Specifically, since the displayed colors of different temperatures in the crystal growth furnace are different, an image device can be used for collecting images in the crystal growth furnace, and the temperatures of different color areas can be determined according to the color information of the collected images. And if the difference value between the temperature obtained through the color area and the temperature data obtained by the temperature sensor is within a preset difference value range, determining that the temperature acquired by the temperature sensor is reasonable.
Further, fig. 5 is a schematic flow chart of a monitoring method in a crystal growth furnace according to another embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 5, S106 includes:
s106-1, storing the temperature data corresponding to each coordinate point according to the mapping relation between each coordinate point on the three-dimensional image and the temperature data.
When the single crystal silicon rod is crystallized in the crystal growth furnace, the temperature is an important factor influencing the crystallization quality, and the temperature is monitored, so that the crystal growth efficiency of the single crystal silicon rod is improved, and the crystal lattice defects are reduced. In the embodiment, the single vector temperature is modeled, an operator can obtain the crystal growth temperature by checking the temperature data of the coordinate point on the three-dimensional image, and when the threshold interval where the temperature is located is not beneficial to the crystal growth quality of the single crystal silicon rod, the temperature in the crystal growth furnace can be regulated and controlled.
And storing the temperature of the components in the crystal growth furnace, the temperature of each part of the liquid level of the molten polycrystalline silicon and the crystal growth temperature of the liquid level of the silicon rod and the molten silicon to corresponding positions. An operator can acquire temperature data by looking up the temperature sensor to know the temperature conditions of all places in the crystal growth furnace.
Optionally, the environmental monitoring device comprises: laser displacement sensor. The environmental information is the vibration information of the single crystal silicon rod collected by the laser displacement sensor at each window.
Further, fig. 6 is a schematic flow chart of a monitoring method in a crystal growth furnace according to another embodiment of the present application, and as shown in fig. 6, S106 includes:
s106-2, storing the vibration information corresponding to each coordinate point according to the mapping relation between each coordinate point on the three-dimensional image and the vibration information.
When the single crystal silicon rod is not uniformly crystallized, for example, one side of the single crystal silicon rod is crystallized at a high speed and the other side of the single crystal silicon rod is crystallized at a low speed, the single crystal silicon rod is laterally vibrated when being pulled. And detecting that the vibration information is transverse vibration on the coordinate point, which indicates that the crystallization is not uniform, and causes crystal lattice defects of the silicon single crystal rod. The vibration information of each coordinate point can be checked through each coordinate point on the three-dimensional image, and when the transverse vibration occurs, the crystallization is suspended in time or the crystal pulling line in the crystal growing furnace is adjusted.
Optionally, the temperature data and the vibration information corresponding to the coordinate point can be simultaneously stored in the same coordinate point, so that the two-item modeling is realized. When the environment monitoring equipment also comprises other equipment except the temperature sensor and the laser displacement sensor, multiple items of modeling can be realized, and the simultaneous monitoring of multiple physical quantities is realized.
Further, the environment information includes: liquid level information. The method further comprises the following steps:
and acquiring the liquid level information of each window according to the laser displacement sensor. The liquid level information is the liquid level information of the molten polycrystalline silicon in the crucible.
Alternatively, it is difficult to confirm the actual position of the liquid level because light generated due to a higher temperature in the crystal growth furnace interferes with the measurement of the laser displacement sensor. Therefore, the liquid level information collected by the laser displacement sensor can be corrected by adopting the imaging equipment. Specifically, pictures of the liquid level and the crystallization position of the single crystal silicon rod are collected through an imaging device, the boundary position of the liquid level is determined, and information of the boundary position measured in a laser displacement sensor is selected as liquid level information.
Optionally, when the liquid level data in the liquid level information is lower than a preset value, an operator can be prompted in a text or voice prompting mode to finish the crystallization.
The monitoring method in the crystal growth furnace provided by this embodiment can monitor the crystal growth environment in the crystal growth furnace by monitoring the crystallization information, such as temperature data or vibration information, of each coordinate point of the three-dimensional model, and if the detected crystallization environment is not favorable for the growth of the single crystal silicon rod, the crystallization environment needs to be adjusted or recrystallized. The quality of the single crystal silicon rod is ensured by monitoring the crystallization environment in the crystal growth furnace.
