The utility model relates to the technical field of
gallium oxide crystal growth, and discloses a
crucible structure for growing a
gallium oxide single crystal by a VB method, which comprises a
crucible shell, a
seed crystal cavity, a
diameter-expanding cavity, a
diameter-reducing cavity, a shoulder-expanding cavity and an equal-
diameter cavity, the
seed crystal cavity, the diameter-expanding cavity, the diameter-reducing cavity, the shoulder-expanding cavity and the equal-diameter cavity are arranged in the
crucible shell, the
seed crystal cavity is arranged at one end of the crucible shell, and the diameter-reducing cavity is arranged at the other end of the crucible shell. One end of the seed
crystal cavity is closed, the other end of the seed
crystal cavity is connected with the diameter-expanding cavity, the diameter-expanding cavity is connected with the diameter-reducing cavity, the diameter-reducing cavity is connected with the shoulder-expanding cavity, the shoulder-expanding cavity is connected with the equal-diameter cavity, and the other end of the equal-diameter cavity is open. Through reasonable design of a
gallium oxide growth technology, the crucible shell, the seed crystal cavity, the diameter-expanding cavity, the diameter-reducing cavity, the shoulder-expanding cavity and the equal-diameter cavity are adopted, so that
gallium oxide crystals can be separated from the crucible wall during growth and cooling,
dislocation proliferation and twin crystal structures are not easy to appear, the crystal
dislocation density is reduced, and the performance of a
semiconductor chip is improved. The crucible structure can be used for preparing cylindrical
gallium oxide single crystals with low
dislocation density.
