Opfindelsen omhandler en fremgangsmåde til fremstilling af en monokrystal ved zonesmeltning, ved hvilken en med en induktionsspole frembragt smelte udsættes for mindst ét roterende magnetfelt og bringes til størkning, og den ved smeltens størkning fremkomne monokrystal bliver drejet.The invention relates to a method for producing a monocrystal by zone melting, in which a melt generated by an induction coil is exposed to at least one rotating magnetic field and solidified and the monocrystal obtained by the melt solidification is rotated.

Anvendelsen af et roterende magnetfelt ved zonesmeltning er eksempelvis beskrevet i DD-263 310 A1. Ganske vist sigter den i dette skrift foreslåede fremgangsmåde på standardiseringen af diffusionsgrænselagstykkelsen, mens den foreliggende opfindelse løser opgaven at opnå en så vidt muligt homogen fordeling af doteringsstoffer i 10 smelten og at opnå en monokrystal.The use of a rotating magnetic field in zone melting is described, for example, in DD-263 310 A1. Admittedly, the process proposed in this paper aims at standardizing the diffusion boundary layer thickness, while the present invention solves the task of obtaining as far as possible a homogeneous distribution of dopants in the melt and obtaining a monocrystal.

Hidtil er det blevet forsøgt at opnå homogeniseringen af doteringsstoffordelingen ved variation af krystaldrejningen, gennem forskydning af induktionsspolen relativt til krystalaksen og gennem ændring af induktionsspolens form. En ulempe ved denne 15 foranstaltning er, at den ofte fører til forhøjelse af forskydningshastigheden og til forringelse af processtabiliteten.Heretofore, it has been attempted to achieve the homogenization of the dopant distribution by variation of the crystal rotation, by displacement of the induction coil relative to the crystal axis and by changing the shape of the induction coil. A disadvantage of this measure is that it often leads to an increase in shear rate and a deterioration in process stability.

Opfindelsen omhandler en fremgangsmåde til fremstilling af en monokrystal ved zonesmeltning, ved hvilken en med en induktionsspole frembragt smelte udsættes for 20 mindst ét roterende magnetfelt og bringes til størkning, og den ved smeltens størkning fremkomne monokrystal bliver drejet, kendetegnet ved, at monokrystallen og magnetfeltet bliver drejet i modsat omdrejningsretning.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a process for producing a monocrystal by zone melting in which a melt generated by an induction coil is subjected to at least one rotating magnetic field and solidified and the monocrystal resulting from the melt solidified is rotated, characterized in that the monocrystal and magnetic field are turned in the opposite direction of rotation.

Beskrivelsen af opfindelsen omfatter også figurer. Fig. 1 viser en anordning, der er 25 egnet til gennemførelsen af fremgangsmåden. Fig. 2 til 5 gengiver de i simulationsberegningerne beregnede strømningsforhold i smelten, hvor der i hvert enkelt tilfælde kun er vist den ene af to symmetriske halvdele af et snit gennem smelten. Fig. 6 til 8 tydeliggør virkningen af de af opfindelsen omfattede fremgangsmåder på den radiale modstandsfordeling og dermed også på fordelingen af doteringsstoffer.The description of the invention also includes figures. FIG. 1 shows a device suitable for carrying out the method. FIG. Figures 2 to 5 represent the flow conditions calculated in the simulation calculations in the melt, where in each case only one of two symmetrical halves of a section through the melt is shown. FIG. 6 to 8 illustrate the effect of the methods of the invention on the radial resistance distribution and thus also on the distribution of dopants.

Den i fig. 1 illustrerede anordning omfatter en monokrystal 4, der over en smelte 3 er forbundet med en polykrystallinsk forrådsstang 1. Smelten bliver frembragt af en induktionsspole 2. Ved sænkning af monokrystallen størkner en del af smelten, hvorved volumenet af monokrystallen tiltager. Samtidig bevirker induktionsspolen, at 35 materialet fra forrådsstangen bliver smeltet og på denne måde forøges smeltens volumen. Omfattet af opfindelsen ses mindst en flerpolet magnet 5, eksempelvis en 2 DK 176384 B1 vekselstrømselektromotor med flerpolet stator, der frembringer et magnetfelt der roterer modsat monokrystallens omdrejningsretning. I figuren er magnetfeltets feltlinier 6 fremstillet som pile.The FIG. 1, a device illustrated comprises a monocrystal 4 connected above a melt 3 to a polycrystalline supply bar 1. The melt is produced by an induction coil 2. Upon lowering of the monocrystal, a portion of the melt solidifies, thereby increasing the volume of the monocrystal. At the same time, the induction coil causes the material from the stockpile to be melted and in this way the volume of the melt is increased. Included in the invention is at least one multi-pole magnet 5, for example a multi-pole alternating current electric motor, for example, producing a magnetic field that rotates opposite the direction of rotation of the monocrystal. In the figure, the magnetic field field lines 6 are made as arrows.

5 Doteringsstoffordelingen i monokrystallen bliver påvirket af strømningsforholdene i smelten og af grænselagsdiffusion. Strømningen i smelten, der bliver frembragt af de termiske, Marangoni- og elektromagnetiske kræfter, har specielt for monokrystaller med store diametre en typisk tohvirvelstruktur, der er illustreret i fig. 2. I den centrale hvirvel 10, der har kontakt med en polykrystallinsk forrådsstang, er doterings-10 stofkoncentrationen mindre end i en ydre hvirvel 20. Så længe disse koncentrationsforskelle i begge hvirvler eksisterer, forbliver en formindskelse af forskellen af diffusionsgrænselagstykkelsen, hvad angår en radial doteringsstofhomogenisering, virkningsløs.5 The dopant distribution in the monocrystal is affected by the flow conditions in the melt and the boundary layer diffusion. The flow in the melt generated by the thermal, Marangoni and electromagnetic forces, especially for large diameter monocrystals, has a typical two-vortex structure illustrated in FIG. 2. In the central vortex 10 which contacts a polycrystalline supply rod, the dopant 10 concentration is less than in an outer vortex 20. As long as these concentration differences in both vertebrae exist, a decrease in the difference of the diffusion boundary layer thickness remains with respect to a radial. dopant homogenization, ineffective.

15 Opfinderen fandt ud af, at det med de af kravene omfattede fremgangsmåder lykkedes at forandre den typiske tohvirvelstruktur af smelten med en i centrum af smelten nedadrettet strømning, og at den radiale homogenitet af doteringsstoffordelingen derigennem tydeligt lod sig forbedre.The inventor found that, with the methods encompassed by the claims, it succeeded in altering the typical two-vortex structure of the melt with a downward flow at the center of the melt, and that the radial homogeneity of the dopant distribution thereby clearly improved.

20 Tohvirvelstrukturen blev ændret ved hjælp af en tvungen konvektion. Bedst egnet er en volumenkraft, der virker i det samlede smeltevolumen. Yderligere tilstræbes det, at strømningen i centrum af smelten er rettet opad (mod forrådsstangen), fordi smelten ellers bliver bragt direkte fra forrådsstangen og nedad (til monokrystallen). Som omfattet af opfindelsen lykkedes dette ved anvendelse af mindst ét roterende 25 magnetfelt, der til forskel for fremgangsmåden, der er beskrevet i DD-263 310 A1, skal rotere modsat omdrejningsretningen af monokrystallen. Såfremt monokrystallen underkastes en vekslende rotation (periodisk skift af omdrejningsretningen), hvilket også ifølge det af opfindelsen omfattede er muligt, er den over tid gennemsnitlige krystalrotation bestemmende for definitionen af omdrejningsretningen for krystallen.The two-vortex structure was altered by a forced convection. Most suitable is a volume power that works in the total melt volume. Further, it is sought that the flow in the center of the melt is directed upwards (towards the stockpile) because otherwise the melt is brought directly from the stockpile downwards (to the monocrystalline). As encompassed by the invention, this succeeded by using at least one rotating magnetic field, which, unlike the method described in DD-263 310 A1, must rotate opposite the direction of rotation of the monocrystal. If the monocrystal is subjected to alternating rotation (periodic rotation of the direction of rotation), which is also possible according to the scope of the invention, the average crystal rotation over time determines the definition of the direction of rotation of the crystal.

30 Uden den modsatrettede drejning af magnet og monokrystal løber strømningsretningen nedad i centrum af smelten. Den doteringsstoffattige smelte bliver ført direkte til centrum af monokrystallen og dermed forringes homogeniteten af den radiale inkorporering af doteringsstoffer tydeligt. Yderligere bliver den i forvejen bestående forskydningsfare, på grund af ikke-smeltede partikler, der kommer direkte 35 fra forrådsstangen til monokrystallen, yderligere forhøjet.30 Without the opposite rotation of magnet and monocrystal, the direction of flow runs downward in the center of the melt. The dopant-low melt is fed directly to the center of the monocrystal and thus the homogeneity of the radial incorporation of dopants is clearly impaired. Further, the pre-existing shear hazard, due to non-molten particles coming directly from the stockpile to the monocrystalline, is further increased.

Det modsat omdrejningsretningen for monokrystallen roterende magnetfelt bevirker en volumenkraft i azimutal retning i smelten. Ifølge en særlig foretrukken udførelsesform af fremgangsmåderne bliver denne volumenkraft benyttet til at frembringe en enkelt hvirvel ved tvungen konvektion i smelten med en strømning, der forløber opad i 5 centrum af smelten. Denne mod forrådsstangen rettede strømning i centrum af smelten bevirker, at de fra forrådsstangen kommende ikke-smeltede partikler og doteringsstoffattige smelteområder ikke transporteres direkte til monokrystallen, men først bliver godt blandet i smelten. Partiklerne får derigennem tilstrækkelig tid til at smelte fuldstændig. For at opnå den foretrukne ændring fra tohvirvelstruktur til 10 enhvirvelstruktur, må feltstyrken af magnetfeltet tilpasses de forhåndenværende procesvilkår. Den optimale feltstyrke er afhængig af andre procesparametre såsom magnetfeltets frekvens, diameteren og omdrejningshastigheden af monokrystallen, trækkehastigheden og formen af den anvendte induktionsspole. Den kan derfor fastsættes gennem testforsøg. Opfinderens forsøg har vist, at fremgangsmåderne 15 fortrinsvis kan benyttes til frembringelse af monokrystaller af silicium, der har en diameter på mindst 3" (76,2 mm), hvor monokrystallen fortrinsvis bliver frembragt med feltstyrker fra 0,1 til 20 mT, særligt foretrukket fra 1 til 5 mT. Frekvensen af det roterende magnetfelt ligger fortrinsvis ved 10 til 1000 Hz, særligt foretrukket ved 50 til 500 Hz.The opposite direction of rotation of the monocrystal rotating magnetic field causes a volume force in the azimuthal direction of the melt. According to a particularly preferred embodiment of the methods, this volume force is used to produce a single vortex by forced convection in the melt with a flow extending upwardly in the center of the melt. This flow directed toward the storage bar in the center of the melt causes the non-melted particles and dopant-low melting areas emanating from the storage bar to be transported directly to the monocrystal but first mixed well in the melt. The particles thereby have sufficient time to completely melt. In order to achieve the preferred change from two-vortex structure to 10-unit vortex structure, the field strength of the magnetic field must be adapted to the existing process conditions. The optimum field strength is dependent on other process parameters such as the frequency of the magnetic field, the diameter and speed of the monocrystal, the pulling speed and the shape of the induction coil used. It can therefore be determined through test trials. The inventor's experiments have shown that the methods 15 can preferably be used to produce silicon monocrystals having a diameter of at least 3 "(76.2 mm), the monocrystal being preferably produced with field strengths of 0.1 to 20 mT, particularly preferred. The frequency of the rotating magnetic field is preferably at 10 to 1000 Hz, particularly preferably at 50 to 500 Hz.

Ved en samtidig anvendelse af to roterende magnetfelter med forskellige frekvenser og over tid variable amplituder kan man yderligere forbedre blandingen af smelten og den radiale homogenisering af doteringsstoffer, og nærmere bestemt være uafhængig af forekomsten af en enhvirvelstruktur eller en tohvirvelstruktur i smelten. Felter med 25 forskellige frekvenser har forskellige Indtrængningsdybder i smelten og virker som følge deraf på forskellige områder af smelten.By the simultaneous use of two rotating magnetic fields with different frequencies and over time variable amplitudes, the mixing of the melt and the radial homogenization of dopants can be further improved, and more specifically be independent of the presence of a single eddy structure or a two eddy structure in the melt. Fields with 25 different frequencies have different penetration depths in the melt and, as a result, act on different areas of the melt.

Når der kun eksisterer en hvirvel i smelten, der er blevet frembragt ved anvendelse af et roterende magnetfelt ifølge den for opfindelsen foretrukne udførelsesform, kan 30 yderligere indvirkning på strømningsforholdene i hvirvelstrukturen opnås ved tilpasning af feltstyrken og/eller frekvensen af det ene af de to magnetfelter og doteringsstoffordelingen kan indstilles endnu mere præcist.When there is only one vortex in the melt produced by using a rotating magnetic field according to the preferred embodiment of the invention, further influence on the flow conditions in the vortex structure can be obtained by adjusting the field strength and / or the frequency of one of the two magnetic fields. and the dopant distribution can be adjusted even more precisely.

Når der forekommer en tohvirvelstruktur I smelten, kan de to roterende felter med 35 forskellige frekvenser og/eller forskellige amplituder anvendes på smelten, således at den indre del af smelten roterer i modsat retning i forhold til den ydre del af smelten.When a two-vortex structure is present in the melt, the two rotating fields of 35 different frequencies and / or different amplitudes can be applied to the melt, so that the inner portion of the melt rotates in the opposite direction to the outer portion of the melt.

Ved tidsafhængig variation af amplituderne og/eller frekvenserne lod omvendingspunktet for hastighedsfelterne sig forandre over tid, og dermed styredes blandingen af smelten radialt. Derigennem blev forskelle i doteringsstofkoncentrationerne mellem de to hvirvler udlignet.With time-dependent variation of the amplitudes and / or frequencies, the inversion point of the velocity fields changed over time, and thus the mixing of the melt was radially controlled. Thereby differences in dopant concentrations between the two vertebrae were equalized.

For at demonstrere indflydelsen af de roterende magnetfelter på strømningen og doteringsstoffordelingen i smelten blev simulationsberegninger gennemført. Først blev 10 smeltezonens form beregnet. Derefter blev strømningen i smelten og doteringsstoffordelingen ved størkningsfronten beregnet afhængigt af tid. Ved simulationen blev Finite-Elemente-metoden anvendt. Beregningerne blev foretaget på grundlag af flg. forudsætninger: en krystaldiameter på 4" (101,6 mm), en krystalrotation på 5 omdr./min. og en frekvens af det roterende magnetfelt på 50 Hz. Omdrejnings-15 retningen af magnetfeltet var modsatrettet i forhold til krystalomdrejningsretningen. Resultater af beregningerne er vist i fig. 2 til 8. I fig. 2 til 5 er vist strømfunktionen af strømningen i en meridional (r, z) flade. Strømfunktionens linier er parallelle med strømningsretningen, og mellem to linier flyder den tilsvarende massestrøm gennem.To demonstrate the influence of the rotating magnetic fields on the flow and dopant distribution in the melt, simulation calculations were performed. First, the shape of the melt zone was calculated. Then, the flow in the melt and dopant distribution at the solidification front was calculated depending on time. In the simulation, the Finite-Elemente method was used. The calculations were made on the basis of the following assumptions: a crystal diameter of 4 "(101.6 mm), a crystal rotation of 5 rpm and a frequency of the rotating magnetic field of 50 Hz. The direction of rotation of the magnetic field was opposite The results of the calculations are shown in Figures 2 to 8. Figures 2 to 5 show the flow function of the flow in a meridional (r, z) plane The lines of the flow function are parallel to the flow direction and flow between two lines. the corresponding mass flow through.

I fig.The arrows indicate the direction of the flow. In FIG. 2, the flow without rotating magnetic field 20 is shown. One shows a two-vortex structure with a central vortex 10 and an outer vortex 20. In FIG.

I fig. 5 udgør induktionen 3,5 mT og en enhvirvel-struktur er opstået.3, the induction of the magnetic field is 1 mT and the effect on the flow is negligible. In FIG. 4, the induction is 2 mT and the outer vortex directed towards the center of the melt has become larger. In FIG. 5, the induction amounts to 3.5 mT and a single vortex structure is formed.

I fig. 6 udgør induktionen af magnetfeltet 0 mT, i fig. 7 er værdien af induktionen 1 mT og i fig. 8 er den 3 mT. Fig. 6 til 8 viser at, den radiale 30 modstandsfordeling bliver mere homogen med forøget feltstyrke af det roterende magnetfelt.FIG. 6 to 8 show dimensionless (normalized) resistance distributions on the solidification front at different times. The resistance is inversely proportional to the dopant concentration. In FIG. 6, the induction of the magnetic field is 0 mT, in fig. 7, the value of the induction is 1 mT and in FIG. 8 is the 3 mT. FIG. 6 to 8 show that the radial 30 resistance distribution becomes more homogeneous with increased field strength of the rotating magnetic field.
