Problems solved by technology

To obtain high-quality crystals, it is required to avoid vibration during the growth process as much as possible, and the crucible descent method will inevitably cause disturbance to the melt, and at the same time, the temperature gradient during the crystal growth process of this method is also difficult to control
The crystals grown by the above two methods have poor integrity, severe grain boundaries, small size, and low yield

Abstract

The invention discloses a device and method for growing large-size single crystals through a dynamic temperature gradient method. According to the device for growing large-size single crystals through the dynamic temperature gradient method, a top heat-preserving screen is fixed to the top end of a circumferential heat-preserving screen; an annular bottom heat-preserving screen is fixed to the bottom end of the circumferential heat-preserving screen; a center heat-preserving screen is installed in the bottom heat-preserving screen in a sliding seal mode; center heat-preserving screen lifting power is installed at the bottom end of the center heat-preserving screen; a crucible rod is fixed in a single-crystal furnace, a bottom thermocouple is fixed in the crucible rod, a crucible is fixed to the top end of the crucible rod, a heating body is fixed outside the crucible, and a top thermocouple is fixed to the top heat-preserving screen. The device can be used for growing the single crystals which are good in growing integrity, free of bubbles and envelopes, large in size and high in rate of finished products. The device has the advantages of being simple and compact in structure, convenient to use and the like. By means of the device and method, the temperature gradient in the growing process of the crystals can be dynamically and accurately controlled.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention discloses a device for growing a large-size single crystal by a dynamic temperature gradient method, and also discloses a method for growing a large-size single crystal by a dynamic temperature gradient method. Background technique [0002] In the prior art, single crystals such as YAG series, fluoride series, and gemstone series are grown by the pulling method or the crucible drop method. The pulling method is heated by induction, and it needs to go through operations such as seeding, necking, and equal diameter. Larger and more defects, and unable to grow large-sized crystals; the crucible descending method is to gradually lower a vertically placed crucible so that it passes through a temperature gradient zone (the temperature is high and the temperature is low), and the melt solidifies from bottom to top. Through the relative movement between the crucible and the melt, a certain temperature field is formed to make the crystal grow. T...
