Abstract | Problems of optical monitoring of melt level and diameter of a crystal growing from high−temperature melt by Czochralski technique are considered. Investigations results performed in Institute of Automatics and Electrometry of the Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Science at vision system construction to control the automatic growth installations are presented. Such system consists of laser triangulation sensor used to measure the melt level in a crucible and also of digital vision system to control the diameter of growing crystal. Metrological problems important to control of crystal growth process caused by nonstationarity and variations of melt surface curvature and also by parallax of crystallization zone image formed by optical projection system are analyzed. Joint measurements of melt level and crystal diameter are discussed allowing to eliminate a systematic measurement error caused by melt rotation. |
