The changeover from 200 mm to 300 mm is required by the semiconductor industry due to the necessity for larger chip sizes and demand for decreasing cost. However, the cost for 300 mm crystal growth is likely to rise owing to larger puller, enlargement of hot zone, expensive silica crucibles and long

โฆ Synopsis
Growth of large diameter necks is of great importance for 300 mm silicon single crystals. Tensile tests for necks with different diameter have been made, and then the fracture morphology of the necks has been analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The surface morphology demonstrates that the fracture is fragile. The large seeds can support crystals grown from large charge sizes of poly-silicon. It is indicated that the neck growth conditions have certain effects on the tensile stress limit of the necks. The fracture mechanism of necks has been discussed in the paper.
