Embodiment 1

[0045] The thermal field shown in Figure 1 is used to grow c-oriented sapphire single crystal.

[0046] The three symmetry axes of the crucible, heater, and side reflector do not coincide to make the solid-liquid interface tilt, so that the solid-liquid interface is controlled as a plane at a certain angle with the c-plane. The process is as follows:

[0047] (1) Place the seed crystal: place the c-oriented seed crystal in the seed crystal groove of the crucible;

[0048] (2) Loading: Put 20-100kg of high-purity alumina raw material into the crucible, close the furnace cover, and start the cooling water circulation system;

[0049] (3) Vacuuming: Start the vacuum system and pump the furnace chamber pressure to 4Pa;

[0050] (4) Start the helium: start the helium cooling system, adjust the helium flow rate to 40-100slm, and prevent the seed crystal from completely melting during the materialization process;

Abstract

The invention discloses a novel production method of a c-orientation sapphire single crystal. The novel production method comprises the following steps of: placing c-orientation sapphire seed crystals in the seed crystal groove of a crucible; filling high-purity aluminum oxide raw materials; vacuumizing and subsequently heating to completely melt the aluminum oxide raw materials and partially melt the seed crystals; slowly cooling at a speed of 0.01-10DEG C / h; controlling a solid-liquid interface to a plane having a certain angle with a c-surface; annealing at a cooling speed of 2-50 DEG C / h after the growth of the crystals is ended; and cooling to the room temperature and subsequently taking the crystal out. According to the invention, by adopting a method for deviating a crucible symmetry axis, a heater symmetry axis and a lateral reflecting screen symmetry axis, the solid-liquid interface in the growth process of the sapphire single crystal is a plane having a certain angle with the c-surface, and the material utilization rate of grown c-orientation crystal ingots can be greatly improved in comparison with the material utilization rate of a-orientation crystal ingots; and compared with the traditional growth method of the c-orientation crystal ingots, the crystal quality of the crystal ingots can be improved and the distortions of crystal boundaries and crystal lattices normally occurring during the growth of the c-orientation crystal ingots can be reduced.
