Crucible with growing silicon carbide single crystal of many growth chamber
Technical field
The invention belongs to the crystal technique field, be specifically related to a kind of crucible structure that transports the technology growth single-crystal silicon carbide based on physical vapor.
Background technology
Silicon carbide (SiC) is a kind of compound semiconductor, has the performance of a lot of excellences, and its thermal conductivity height reaches 5.0W/cm (being higher than any known metal), therefore is suitable for very much high temperature, high-power electronic device field.In addition, silicon carbide also has high chemical stability and anti-irradiation ability, with the lattice match degree of GaN also higher, be the desirable substrate material of making high brightness GaN photodiode.Silicon carbide is universally acknowledged third generation semiconductor material.
The synthetically grown technology of carborundum crystals has had the history in more than 100 year so far.It can trace back to 1891 the earliest, and Edward's Gyorgy Gurics Ah and Sen (Edward Goodrich Acheson) (1856~1931) has used carbon and pure aluminium silicate as raw material when improving the diamond abrasive making method, has obtained a large amount of SiC first.This method still is applied to making the SiC abrasive material so far.J.A. rein in jasmine (J.A.Lely) and in plumbago crucible, obtained the measured SiC crystal of crystalline (U.S. Patent No. 2845364) with nineteen fifty-five.1978, the Yu.M. thyrode people such as (Yu.M.Tairo) improved in the method for reining in jasmine (Lely), uses auxiliary bulk SiC monocrystalline (" crystal growth magazine " (J.Crystal Growth) 52,209~212,1978 that obtained of seed crystal; " crystal growth magazine " (J.Crystal Growth) 52,146~150,1981).This method that thyrode people such as (Tairo) uses is called as improved Le Lifa, and this method still is being widely used so far, and the physical vapor of growing high-quality SiC crystal transports (PVT) technology and just is based on improved Le Lifa at present.
The straight wall crucible that uses conventional design is in the Medium frequency induction growth furnace during grow silicon carbide crystals, be subject to crucible design and insulation construction, usually can only obtain 1 silicon carbide crystal ingot in each growth cycle, and be subject to the growth method of silicon carbide crystal ingot, the length of each crystal ingot can only reach 30~40mm at most.The intrinsic problem of this of silicon carbide monocrystal growth has increased the growth of silicon carbide cost greatly, make the holding at high price of silicon carbide wafer, limit the spread overwide areas of silicon carbide wafer in the scope of whole market, limited the extensive utilization of carborundum crystals greatly.Growth cost that we can say carborundum crystals is the important factor that determines the silicon carbide prospect.
Summary of the invention
The objective of the invention is to overcome the defective of prior art, provide a kind of based on physical vapor transport technology, the crucible of a plurality of silicon carbide crystal ingots of can growing simultaneously design.
On the one hand, the invention provides and a kind ofly transport the crucible of technology growth single-crystal silicon carbide based on physical vapor, wherein, described crucible is many growth chamber structure.
In an embodiment of the invention, described crucible is to have the split type multi-segment structure of independently expecting chamber and growth chamber.Preferably, in described split type multi-segment structure, connect by screw thread or bench port between each section.
In an embodiment of the invention, described crucible has 3~5 independently growth chamber.Preferably, the diameter of described growth chamber is 50mm~80mm.
In an embodiment of the invention, the height of described growth chamber surpasses 20% of described crucible total height, and described material chamber height is not less than 50% of described crucible total height.
In an embodiment of the invention, processing raw material of described crucible is high-purity, high-compactness graphite, and its total impurities content is less than 100ppm, and density is greater than 1.8g/cm
3, void content is less than 15%.
In the crucible design of the present invention, have a plurality of independently growth chamber, these growth chamber share identical material chamber, and described growth chamber and material chamber are preferably separately independently.
In the crucible design of the present invention, crucible material chamber and growth chamber are the two-part separate structure, connect by screw thread or bench port between these two portions (section).
Crucible of the present invention is right cylinder, external diameter 150~250mm, total height 200~300mm.
The growth chamber of crucible of the present invention is many growth chamber structure independently, 3~5 of growth chamber quantity, growth chamber internal diameter 50~80mm, growth chamber height 30~80mm.
In the crucible design of the present invention, material chamber internal diameter is that 130~230mm, material chamber height are not less than 50% of crucible total height.
The height of upper chamber's (growth chamber section) surpasses 20% of described crucible total height in the crucible design of the present invention.
In the crucible design of the present invention, the crucible raw material uses the graphite block body of high purity, high-compactness to process.High purity refers to total impurities content less than 100ppm, and high-compactness refers to that density is greater than 1.8g/cm
3, void content is less than 15%.
Crucible of the present invention is made and is used high precision machine tool to carry out, and the working accuracy error of crucible is less than 0.1mm.
Crucible design of the present invention can be used for 2 inches of growth diameters or above single-crystal silicon carbide body.Many growth chamber designs can effectively reduce growth cost, the raising growth efficiency of carborundum crystals so that growth obtains a plurality of crystal in the same growth cycle.
