  • Publication number: 20220002900
    Abstract: Disclosed is a thin-film heat insulation sheet for a monocrystalline silicon growth furnace, which comprises one or more first refractive layers and one or more second refractive layers which have different refractivity and are laminated alternately to form a laminated structure. Also disclosed is a monocrystalline silicon growth furnace, in which the thin-film heat insulation sheet is arranged on a heat shield. The thin-film heat insulation sheet has good reflectivity in wavelength ranges of heat radiation. When disposed on a heat shield to be applied to the monocrystalline silicon growth furnace, the thin-film heat insulation sheet not only can improve ability of the heat shield to reflect heat energy, reduce heat dissipation of molten silicon melt, and improve heat energy utilization, but also is conducive to heat insulation performance of the heat field, thereby improving the quality of the heat field to improve the quality and yield of monocrystalline silicon.

  • Publication number: 20220002899
    Abstract: Disclosed a heat shield and a monocrystalline silicon growth furnace using the same. The heat shield is arranged in an upper portion of a melt crucible in the monocrystalline silicon growth furnace, and comprises a shield wall and a shield bottom provided with a window for pulling melt through. The shield bottom comprises a top layer, a bottom layer and a side wall. The side wall is connected between the top and bottom layers and encloses the window. The bottom layer faces towards a liquid level of the melt, and is designed as a serrated structure. With the serrated structure of the bottom layer of the shield bottom, the external thermal energy can be prevented from being absorbed by the monocrystalline silicon crystal, thereby avoiding excessive thermal compensation on a crystal surface, effectively optimizing longitudinal temperature gradient of the crystal, and improving the radial quality uniformity of a silicon wafer.
