摘要: Ingot puller apparatus that include a silicon feed tube for adding solid silicon to a crucible assembly are disclosed. The silicon feed tubes include a conduit portion having an inner diameter and a kick plate disposed below the conduit portion. The kick plate extends across at least 60% of the inner diameter of the conduit portion.

摘要: A susceptor assembly for supporting a crucible during a crystal growth process includes a susceptor base, a tubular sidewall connected to the susceptor base, and a removable sacrifice ring interposed between the susceptor base and the sidewall. Each of the susceptor base and the sidewall is formed of a carbon-containing material. The susceptor base has an annular wall and a shoulder extending radially outward from an outer surface of the annular wall. The sidewall has a first end that receives the annular wall to connect the sidewall to the susceptor base. The sacrifice ring has a first surface that faces the outer surface of the annular wall, a second surface that faces an interior surface of the sidewall, and a ledge extending outward from the second surface that engages the first end of the sidewall.

摘要: A method of producing a single crystal silicon ingot from a silicon melt includes positioning a crucible in an interior of a susceptor assembly defined by a susceptor base and a sidewall, where each of the susceptor base and the sidewall are formed of a carbon-containing material and the susceptor assembly includes a removable sacrifice ring interposed between the susceptor base and the sidewall, adding polycrystalline silicon to the crucible, heating the polycrystalline silicon to cause a silicon melt to form in the crucible, pulling a single crystal silicon ingot from the melt, where silicon carbide (SiC) deposits accumulate on the sacrifice ring during the pulling the single crystal silicon ingot from the melt, and after the pulling the single crystal silicon ingot from the melt, removing the sacrifice ring having the accumulated SiC deposits from the susceptor base.

摘要: Methods for determining suitability of Czochralski growth conditions to produce silicon substrates for epitaxy. The methods involve evaluating substrates sliced from ingots grown under different growth conditions (e.g., impurity profiles) by imaging the wafer by infrared depolarization. An infrared depolarization parameter is generated for each epitaxial wafer. The parameters may be compared to determine which growth conditions are well-suited to produce substrates for epitaxial and/or post-epi heat treatments.
