Abstract

The invention relates to a seeding method for growth of sapphire crystal with a KY (Kyropoulos) method. A non-rotating symmetric structure of a radiation heat dissipation opening of seed crystal is used, and the seeding method comprises following steps during seeding: (1), the seed crystal is immersed 3-5 mm below the liquid level of melt; (2), a crystal plate grows out from the seed crystal preferentially towards one side after the heat dissipation opening adopting the non-rotating symmetric structure dissipates heat; (3), the seed crystal is lifted and pulled at an average lifting and pulling speed being 3-12 mm / h, alternate instant lifting is adopted in the lifting and pulling process, the seed crystal is rotated by a given angle, and a crystal plate grows out again in the heat dissipation direction after alternate instant lifting, so that next instant lifting is facilitated; (4), the step (3) is carried out repeatedly until the length of a crystal section reaches 60-80 mm, the crystal section adopting a spiral structure is formed, and when the equivalent diameter of the cross section of a solid-liquid interface reaches 40-60 mm, seeding is finished. The seeding method has the advantages as follows: the spiral seeding structure can be obtained, defects and dislocation of the seed crystal can be eliminated to the largest extent, breaking cannot be caused easily, the yield of crystal can be increased, and industrial production is facilitated.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of crystal growth, and relates to a seeding method for crystal growth, in particular to a seeding method for growing sapphire crystals by a Kyropoulos method. Background technique [0002] The composition of sapphire is aluminum oxide (Al 2 o 3 ), which is composed of three oxygen atoms and two aluminum atoms combined by covalent bonds, and its crystal structure is a hexagonal lattice structure. Because sapphire has the characteristics of high sound velocity, high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, high hardness, high light transmission, and high melting point (2045°C), it is often used as a material for optoelectronic components. At present, the quality of ultra-high-brightness white / blue LEDs depends on the material quality of the GaN epitaxial layer (GaN), and the quality of the GaN epitaxial layer is closely related to the surface processing quality of the sapphire substrate used. Since sap...
