  • Publication number: 20200255970
    Abstract: The present application provides a draft tube of crystal growing furnace and the crystal growing furnace. The draft tube comprises an inner tube, an outer tube and a thermal insulating material sandwiched between the inner tube and the outer tube, wherein the inner tube has a thermal resistance lower than that of the outer tube. Accordingly, the outer tube having the higher thermal resistance reduces the heat transfer from the outer tube to the inner tube, thereby the temperature of the inner tube can be reduced, the heat radiation from the ingot surface to the inner tube can be enhanced, and the vertical temperature gradient of the ingot can be increased. At the same time, the temperature of the outer tube increases to reduce the condensation of silica vapor (SiOx) evaporated from the silicon melt surface, thereby impurity formation and dislocation defect caused by the SiOx fallen into the silicon melt can be prevented.
