Problems solved by technology

This invention, like the existing Kyropoulo method, can only produce 85kg grade, φ290×350mm products. If you want to obtain 120kg grade, φ350×380mm products, crystal cracking will occur in this invention and the existing Kyropoulo method, and there will be Defects such as small-angle grain boundary stress, the quality cannot meet the requirements

Abstract

The invention provides a method for preparing large-size sapphire single crystals by means of bubble generation. The method includes loading, vacuum, heating dissolving, seeding, shouldering, stripping, equal-diameter growing, pulling, annealing, blowing-out, argon filling cooling and blowing-in steps and the like. The method has the advantages that original technological procedures for growing 85 kg crystals are improved to obtain the method, the single crystallinity of the crystals is guaranteed by the aid of the stripping step, cracking of the crystals can be effectively prevented, defects such as small-angle crystal boundary stress and the like can be effectively overcome, the high-quality 120 kg-grade sapphire single crystals with the sizes of phi 350*380 mm can be prepared by the aid of the method, and requirements on sapphire growth in the current military and civil fields in China further can be met.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a method for preparing a sapphire single crystal, in particular to a method for preparing a large-sized sapphire single crystal. Background technique [0002] Sapphire, commonly known as corundum, is a simple coordination oxide, often blue due to the trace elements titanium (Ti4+) or iron (Fe2+). With the rapid development of science and technology, sapphire crystal has become an extremely important basic material for modern industry, especially microelectronics and optoelectronics industry. As the hardest oxide crystal, sapphire is used in a variety of demanding applications due to its optical and physical properties. The most important commercial applications at present are substrates for lighting and radio-frequency integrated circuits on sapphire silicon. Titanium-containing sapphire is an important laser material. In addition to being widely used in military infrared devices, missiles, submarines, satellite space technol...
