Only crystals are real solids; crystals are formed when gas phase and liquid phase transform into solid phase, and solid phases can also transform directly; the general process of crystal formation is to generate crystal nuclei first, and then gradually grow, so it is necessary to use a single crystal growth furnace to assist its preparation.

[0003] Specifically, in the process of material crystallization, the crystallization of the single crystal in the growth furnace is disturbed by the temperature, and the crystallization is carried out in a uniform manner from all sides of the crystal column. When the local temperature of the material changes, the material at the local position will crystallize too fast or too slow, resulting in depression or protrusion in the single crystal structure, which in turn affects the quality of the single crystal. For this reason, we propose a single crystal growth furnace. Summary of the invention
