摘要: A method for producing a single crystal silicon ingot includes adding polycrystalline silicon to a crucible disposed within a chamber defined by a housing of an ingot puller apparatus, maintaining the chamber at a first pressure, heating the chamber using radiant heat to melt the polycrystalline silicon and form a silicon melt in the crucible, pulling a single crystal silicon ingot from the silicon melt, channeling a liquid dopant at a second pressure greater than the first pressure into a feed tube positioned in the chamber, vaporizing the liquid dopant into a vaporized dopant by flash evaporation at the first pressure within the feed tube, and directing the vaporized dopant from the feed tube toward a surface of the silicon melt to cause the vaporized dopant to enter the silicon melt as a dopant while pulling the single crystal silicon ingot from the silicon melt.

摘要: Methods for preparing single crystal silicon substrates for epitaxial growth are disclosed. The methods may involve control of the (i) a growth velocity, v, and/or (ii) an axial temperature gradient, G, during the growth of an ingot segment such that v/G is less than a critical v/G and/or is less than a value of v/G that depends on the boron concentration of the ingot. Methods for preparing epitaxial wafers are also disclosed.

摘要: A method of growing a single crystal ingot includes growing a single crystal silicon ingot from a silicon melt in a crucible within an inner chamber, adding a volatile dopant into a feed tube, positioning the feed tube within an inner chamber at a first height relative to a surface of the melt, adjusting the feed tube within the inner chamber to a second height at a speed rate, and heating the volatile dopant to form a gaseous dopant as the feed tube is moved from the first height to the second height at the speed rate. Each of the second height and the speed rate are selected to control a vaporization rate of the volatile dopant. The method also includes introducing dopant species into the melt while growing the ingot by contacting the surface of the melt with the gaseous dopant.

摘要: A method for producing a single crystal silicon ingot from a silicon melt includes providing a crucible within an inner chamber of an ingot puller, the crucible including an inner surface and a synthetic liner on the inner surface. The method further includes adding an initial charge of polysilicon to the crucible, melting the initial charge of polysilicon to cause the silicon melt to form in the crucible, and dissolving a melt modifier into the silicon melt to devitrify the synthetic liner and form a crystallized layer on the crucible. The crystallized layer has a thickness less than 700 microns. The method further includes pulling a single crystal silicon ingot from the silicon melt.

摘要: Provided is a manufacturing method of a silicon single crystal according to the present invention includes a melting process for generating a silicon melt containing a primary dopant, and a crystal pulling-up process that pulls up a silicon single crystal from the silicon melt. The crystal pulling-up process includes at least one additional doping process for adding a dopant raw material containing a secondary dopant into the silicon melt. A flow rate of Ar gas during a first period in which the secondary dopant is not added is set as a first flow rate, and the flow rate of Ar gas during a second period that includes a period in which the secondary dopant is added is set as a second flow rate that is greater than the first flow rate..---
