Description

Continuous UHV vertical floating zone-melting metal purification system
Technical Field
The invention relates to the technical field of metal purification, in particular to a continuous UHV vertical floating zone-melting metal purification system.
Background
Zone melting is a method of preparing high purity materials, which was invented by John Desmond Bernal and further developed by William g.pfann in bell laboratories. Prior to zone melting, it is generally necessary to prepare the feedstock into a rod-like material of a certain size and vertically secure the feedstock rod within the furnace chamber using two chucks. The high-frequency coil is used for induction heating and melting of a part of the raw material rod, so that a melting zone slowly passes through the whole raw material rod from one end to the other end to finish purification. Throughout the zone melting process, the molten zone melts the impure solid at its leading edge, and the impurities are concentrated in the melt and moved to one end of the feed rod, causing the molten zone to solidify after passing through the feed rod, leaving a purer material. The melt zone is supported by surface tension and is therefore also commonly referred to as the "suspension zone melting process". The method does not need a crucible, avoids the contact between the raw material and the crucible, and the purity of the purified material is high. On the other hand, in the process of zone melting, the main chamber is pumped to an ultrahigh vacuum state or some gas atmosphere is introduced according to the properties of the purified material, so that the zone melting effect can be further improved. In recent years, with the development of technology, the requirements of some devices on the purity of metal materials are more and more severe, and especially in the field of semiconductor industry, the improvement of the purity of raw materials of metal materials often leads to an exponential improvement of the performance of devices. However, the existing zone melting apparatus has the following disadvantages: the lack of a high-precision real-time temperature feedback system can not monitor the temperature and the length of a melting zone of a purified metal sample in a main chamber in real time and dynamically adjust the heating power, which may cause unstable melting zone and affect the purification efficiency of the metal; the lack of an ultra-high vacuum system can not enable the air pressure in the main cavity to reach an ultra-high vacuum state, and impurities with higher saturated vapor pressure than the matrix can be further removed by utilizing the saturated vapor pressure difference of the matrix and the impurities; the lack of a residual gas analyzer can not accurately measure the gas components in the main chamber, and the inability to accurately control the smelting atmosphere during zone smelting and purification can lead to unsatisfactory purification effect. Therefore, the invention provides a continuous UHV vertical floating zone-melting metal purification system (UHV, ultra-high vacuum), realizes continuous preparation of ultra-pure metal, and can be applied to industrial production.
