A detection method and device for crystal growth interface shape based on pulling method

Abstract

The invention relates to a method for detecting the shape of the crystal growth interface based on the pulling method. The detection method collects the temperature T of the seed crystal and the electromotive force U of the interface at the same time during the crystal growth process, and obtains the change of the electromotive force U of the interface with the temperature T of the seed crystal. T-U curve, by observing the deviation between the T-U curve and the reference line to judge the change trend of the shape of the crystal growth interface in real time; the reference line is through the starting point of the T-U curve, and the slope is the crystal The straight line for the Seebeck coefficient. The invention also relates to devices used in said method. The detection method of the present invention can detect the change trend of the shape of the crystal growth interface in real time during the crystal growth process, and can be applied to the pulling method growth of various single crystals such as lithium niobate, lithium tantalate, sapphire, yttrium aluminum garnet, etc. equipment.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to the field of crystal growth, in particular to a method and device for detecting the shape of a crystal growth interface based on a pulling method. Background technique [0002] The Czochralski method (pulling method) is the main method for preparing single crystals in the field of crystal production. Worldwide, the equipment of this method accounts for more than 90%. The crystal category covers most semiconductor crystals, laser crystals and scintillation crystals such as monocrystalline silicon, sapphire, lithium niobate, and YAG. It is almost large-scale single crystal growth. , synonymous with production methods. The pulling method also includes many derivative methods, including the Kyroplasty method, the guided mold method, the heat exchange method, etc., and its basic structure and physical process are all derived from the pulling method. [0003] In the current pulling method growth equipment, the main (or even the onl...
