Quartz Glass: The Crown Jewel of Glass Materials in Semiconductor Applications
Quartz glass, often hailed as the "crown jewel" of glass materials, is a type of glass composed solely of SiO2. It boasts exceptional mechanical, thermal, optical, and electrical properties, making it indispensable in various industries such as semiconductors, optical devices, telecommunications, and solar energy.
In the semiconductor industry, high-purity, contamination-free, and high-temperature-resistant quartz glass materials and products are essential auxiliary materials. Currently, quartz for semiconductors is mainly divided into semiconductor devices, semiconductor quartz substrates, and semiconductor quartz materials.
Quartz glass products are widely used in semiconductor equipment due to their outstanding physical and chemical properties. Below are some common quartz glass products and their specific applications:
Quartz Crucibles:
Quartz crucibles play a crucial role in the growth of silicon crystals, particularly in the Czochralski (CZ) process. These crucibles can withstand high temperatures and chemical corrosion, ensuring the purity of molten silicon.
Quartz Tubes:
Quartz tubes are primarily used in diffusion furnaces. These tubes maintain chemical stability and physical integrity at high temperatures, making them ideal for handling and processing semiconductor materials.
Quartz Boats:
Quartz boats are used to hold silicon wafers during diffusion, oxidation, and deposition processes. Their high purity and heat resistance ensure process stability and reliability.
Quartz Windows and Viewports:
These are used as observation and inspection windows in semiconductor equipment. The excellent transparency and chemical resistance of quartz make it an ideal material for these components.
Quartz Bell Jars:
Quartz bell jars are used in ion implantation equipment to maintain a vacuum environment and prevent contamination.
Quartz Rods and Plates:
Quartz rods and plates are used for supporting and handling semiconductor wafers. Their high purity and low contamination properties make them essential in semiconductor manufacturing.
Quartz Diffusion Tubes:
Quartz diffusion tubes are used in gas distribution systems within diffusion furnaces. They can withstand high temperatures and corrosive environments, ensuring uniform gas flow and reactions.
The application of these quartz glass products significantly enhances the quality and efficiency of semiconductor manufacturing processes. Their high purity, heat resistance, and corrosion resistance make quartz glass a critical material in semiconductor equipment.
