Vorrichtung zum Ziehen eines Silizium-Einkristalls

摘要

A device for pulling a silicon single crystal is constructed so as to preclude deposition of a SiO-derived substance on graphite parts inside the device and prevent the graphite parts from deterioration, elongate the duration of continuous use of the device in a great measure, and simplify the disassembly and reassembly of the device. This device pulls a silicon single crystal in an atmosphere of inert gas by the Czochralski method, which device is chracterized by comprising a crucible 1 for accommodating a molten silicon mass 2, a heater 3 disposed round the periphery of the crucible 1, an outer member 14 forming a pulling chamber 6 for accomodating the crucible 1, an inert gas inlet part 15 disposed in the upper part of the pulling chamber 6, and an inert gas outlet part 16 separated from the inert gas inlet part 15 in the same upper part of the pulling chamber 6.
