High-Purity Quartz Glass Solutions for Monocrystalline Silicon Production

Published: August 16, 2025

FG Quartz is a leading manufacturer of high-purity quartz glass components, dedicated to providing essential materials for monocrystalline silicon (mono-Si) production. Our products support the semiconductor, solar photovoltaic, and advanced material industries with exceptional thermal stability, chemical inertness, and optical clarity.

Monocrystalline silicon manufacturing demands specialized quartz glass components, including crucibles, seed holders, quartz boats, optical windows, and heating tubes. Each component is engineered to withstand high temperatures, resist contamination, and provide long-term durability for continuous crystal growth processes.

Quartz Crucibles for Silicon Crystal Growth

Quartz crucibles are essential for growing high-purity monocrystalline silicon ingots. Manufactured from ultra-high-purity fused quartz, our crucibles provide excellent thermal uniformity and chemical resistance. They are designed to endure temperatures above 1400°C without deformation, preventing contamination that can compromise crystal quality.

Usage Tips:
– Pre-clean crucibles using deionized water and high-purity solvents.
– Avoid sudden temperature changes to reduce thermal shock.
– Inspect crucibles for inclusions or micro-cracks before use.

Seed Holders and Crystal Supports

Seed holders securely position the monocrystalline silicon seed during the Czochralski (CZ) process. FG Quartz produces custom seed holders with precise tolerances to ensure uniform crystal rotation and growth. Our designs minimize contamination and maintain thermal stability even during long-duration pulls.

Recommendations:
– Align seed holders carefully with the crystal axis.
– Use holders that match your crucible size and rotation speed.
– Ensure holders are free of particles that can disrupt crystal integrity.

Quartz Boats and Transport Components

Quartz boats are used for wafer handling, doping, and annealing processes. FG Quartz boats are manufactured with high precision, ensuring smooth surfaces, accurate dimensions, and minimal contamination. They can be customized for vertical or horizontal crystal pulling systems.

Usage Guidelines:
– Use compatible quartz boats for specific furnace designs.
– Maintain a cleanroom environment to prevent contamination.
– Inspect regularly for cracks or surface imperfections.

Optical Windows and Viewports

Optical windows allow process observation and laser alignment without exposing the crystal to air contamination. FG Quartz optical windows offer high UV and visible light transmission, superior flatness, and resistance to thermal shock. They are used in furnace observation ports and laser measurement systems.

Best Practices:
– Install windows with even pressure to prevent warping.
– Clean surfaces with high-purity solvents to maintain clarity.
– Avoid mechanical shocks during installation.

Heating Tubes and Thermal Components

Quartz heating tubes are essential for uniform temperature distribution in CZ furnaces. FG Quartz heating tubes are designed to resist deformation at high temperatures, providing long service life and minimizing contamination risks. They are available in various diameters and wall thicknesses for different crystal sizes.

Usage Tips:
– Match tube dimensions with furnace specifications.
– Gradually ramp up temperatures to prevent thermal shock.
– Regularly inspect for surface degradation.
