摘要:
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a crucible which has high viscosity at high temperature, and can be used for a long time, and can be manufactured at low cost, and a method of manufacturing the same. The composite crucible 10 is characterized in the use of mullite (3Al2O3.2SiO2) as the basic material of the crucible. The composite crucible 10 has the crucible body 11 made of mullite material whose main component is alumina and silica, and a transparent vitreous silica layer 12 formed on the inner surface of the crucible body 11. The thickness of the transparent vitreous silica layer 12 is smaller than that of the crucible body 11. The crucible body 11 can be formed by the slip casting method, and the transparent vitreous silica layer 12 can be formed by the thermal spraying method.
摘要:
Provided is a vitreous silica crucible having a reference point, which is capable of accurately detecting the location of a defect in the vitreous silica crucible used for pulling silicon single crystal, determining a defect generating site of silicon single crystal, and investigating the cause of the defect. The reference point used for specifying the position relationship with respect to a particular part is formed in at least one site of an end portion, an inner wall and an outer wall of the crucible.

The present invention provides a vitreous silica crucible which can suppress the sidewall lowering of the crucible under high temperature during pulling a silicon single crystal, and a method of manufacturing such a vitreous silica crucible. The vitreous silica crucible 10 includes an opaque vitreous silica layer 11 provided on the outer surface side of the crucible and containing numerous bubbles, and a transparent vitreous silica layer 12 provided on the inner surface side. The opaque vitreous silica layer 11 includes a first opaque vitreous silica portion 11a provided on the crucible upper portion, and a second opaque vitreous silica portion 11b provided on the crucible lower portion. The specific gravity of the second opaque vitreous silica portion 11b is 1.7 to 2.1, and the specific gravity of the first opaque vitreous silica portion 11a is 1.4 to 1.8, and smaller than that of the second opaque vitreous silica portion. The particle size distribution of the material silica powder for the first opaque vitreous silica portion 11a is wider than that of the second opaque vitreous silica portion 11b, and the material silica powder for the first opaque vitreous silica portion 11a includes more fine powder than that for the second opaque vitreous silica portion 11b.
摘要:
Provided is an apparatus for manufacturing a vitreous silica crucible which has a structure which can reduce gaps between a partition wall and electrodes inserted into through-holes formed in the partition wall while enabling electrodes to move to adjust a heating temperature of arc discharge. A plate-shaped partition wall 15 is placed above the rotating mold 10. Electrodes 13 for heating and fusing are inserted into through-holes 16 penetrating in a thickness direction, and are directed toward the rotating mold 10. A rocking unit 40 is provided on an upper side of the partition wall 15 and rocks the electrodes 13 around virtual rocking axes P, and the virtual rocking axes P pass through the through-holes 16.
