ABSTRACT:
An apparatus for practicing temperature gradient zone melting includes a transparent tubular quartz glass work chamber for receiving a body of semiconductor material to be processed. An infrared radiation source is optically coupled to the interior of the chamber through a wall of the chamber for irradiating one surface of the semiconductor body. A metallic cooling block is placed in direct heat conductive engagement with the exterior of the tubular work chamber opposite to the infrared source to remove heat from the surface of the body opposite said one surface, thus making the temperature gradient set up in the body more uniform and unidirectional. The semiconductor body is supported in the chamber by support means making minimal thermal contact with the surface of the body opposite the said one surface. The chamber may be provided with closure means so that a closed atmosphere can be established therein.
