Abstract

A new form of high-purity carbon, with high lustre and mechanical strength, is described. Its use as a crucible material for semiconductor and other applications is discussed.

Résumé

Une nouvelle forme de carbone ayant un grandéclat et une forte résistance mécanique est décrite. Son emploi en tant que matériau de creuset pour semiconducteur ainsi que pour d'autres applications est discuté.

Zusammenfassung

Eine neue Form von Kohlenstoff hohen Reinheitsgrades mit Hochglanz und mechanischer Festigkeit wird beschrieben. Seine Verwendung als Tiegelmaterial für Halbleiter und andere Zwecke wird erörtert.

    In fact, the very first application for GC was that of a refractory material to produce the furnace crucibles from. This application was first proposed in 1963 by Lewis et al., involving Redfern, then at the Plessey Company in Towcester, UK [210]. Thanks to the low vapor pressure of GC, the amount of residual elements getting incorporated into the thermally treated content of the GC crucibles is not higher than that of quartz crucibles [211].

    Vitreous carbon was chosen as the experimental model for a carbon-based TPS. Vitreous carbon is composed of sp2 carbon and consists of randomly ordered graphite-like domains that enclose small voids [28–32]. Although small voids are present in the material, the surface is considered to be nonporous, as it is impermeable to both H2 and He [30,31].

    Thus, the MG probably has very crystalline and amorphous domains. The crystallite size of the VC is of the order of 30 nm, referring to the crystalline graphite domains, surrounded by amorphous domains [27,41,42]. The size of the crystallite associated with the plane (002) of the PC is around 48 nm.
