After forming and refining the intermetallic compound semiconductor by a zone melting method,
The purified intermetallic compound semiconductor is separated into the original metal to purify the target metal.
(従来技術)
帯溶融法(zone refining)は、金属乃至半導
体の精製法として周知な方法である。(Prior Art) Zone refining is a well-known method for refining metals and semiconductors.
この帯溶融法によれば、ある特定の不純物に対
して極めて有効で、濃度比を10-10程度まで下げ
ることができる。 This zone melting method is extremely effective against certain impurities and can reduce the concentration ratio to about 10 -10 .
(発明の解決しようとする問題点)
しかし、この帯溶融法も、別の特定の不純物に
対しては殆ど効果のないことがある。(Problems to be Solved by the Invention) However, this zone melting method may also have little effect on other specific impurities.
これは、母体金属(又は半導体)に対する不純
物原子の偏析係数K=CS/CL(CS/CLは金属の融
点付近のある一定温度で、固相中の不純物濃度CS
と液相中の不純物濃度CLとの比を表わす)が、
不純物原子の種類により異なることによる。 This is the segregation coefficient of impurity atoms with respect to the base metal (or semiconductor) K = C S / C L (C S / C L is the impurity concentration in the solid phase C S at a certain temperature near the melting point of the metal)
and the impurity concentration C L in the liquid phase) is
This is because it differs depending on the type of impurity atom.
即ち、K〓1またはK〓1であるような不純物
元素に対しては、帯溶融法は極めて有効である
が、K1の不純物に対しては余り有効でない。 That is, the zone melting method is extremely effective for impurity elements such as K〓1 or K〓1, but is not so effective for impurities of K1.
K1の不純物は、何回帯溶融を繰り返しても
除去されにくいばかりでなく、長時間帯溶融に掛
ると、周囲から他の不純物が侵入することにな
り、精製が進まなくなる。 Impurities in K1 are not only difficult to remove no matter how many times band melting is repeated, but if band melting is continued for a long time, other impurities will enter from the surroundings, making it difficult to proceed with purification.
そこで、この発明はK1の不純物に対しても
有効な帯溶融による金属の精製法を開発すること
