The temperature is maintained at 800-1000℃, forming a radial temperature gradient of 200-300℃; under high pressure, the gaseous material forms a stable clockwise spiral upward flow field through the spiral guide channel, extending the residence time by 20%; when the pressure increases and causes the temperature field to shift, the power of the graphite heating element is automatically adjusted, and the distance between the crucible and the seed crystal is finely adjusted by the cylinder to maintain a constant growth temperature of 2150±3℃; under a pressure of 500-800mbar, the SiC crystal growth rate is increased to 1.2-1.5mm / h, while the risk of polycrystalline formation is avoided by adjusting the argon flow rate and the cooling intensity of the guide tube; S5; gas phase transport Single crystal growth: The gaseous material is uniformly distributed on the surface of the seed crystal under the action of the spiral guide groove; the water cooling equipment adjusts the flow rate of the coolant and controls the temperature of the cooling chamber of the guide tube to form an axial temperature gradient; the cylinder slowly lifts the support to maintain a constant growth interface; the temperature and pressure are monitored and adjusted through the observation window, infrared thermometer and pressure sensor; S6; Crystal annealing and cooling: After growth, in-situ annealing is carried out at 2000-2100℃ for 2-4 hours to eliminate stress; the temperature is slowly reduced to room temperature at a rate of 10-20℃ / h, and the inert gas pressure is gradually increased to atmospheric pressure; the water cooling equipment is turned off and the grown silicon carbide single crystal is taken out.

Finally, the water cooling equipment is turned off and high-quality large-size silicon carbide single crystal is taken out.
[0025] The working principle of the resistance growth equipment and method for large-size silicon carbide single crystals will be explained in detail below.
[0026] like Figure 1-10As shown, during the preparation of silicon carbide single crystals, a multi-stage vacuum pumping mechanism is activated. The first vacuum pump 43 performs a rough evacuation of the vacuum chamber 22 to initially reduce the gas pressure inside the chamber. Subsequently, the second vacuum pump 48 performs a secondary evacuation through the buffer gas tank 45 to reduce the gas pressure to the standard required for growth. The valve is closed and the pressure is maintained for 30 minutes to check the leakage rate and ensure the purity of the growth environment. Then, the graphite heating element 23 is turned on to heat the vacuum chamber to 2100-2300℃ at a rate of 5-10℃ / min. When the temperature reaches 1800℃, the inert gas is introduced through the solenoid valve 15 to maintain a pressure of 10-100 mbar. Under pressure, the silicon carbide powder in crucible 36 decomposes into gaseous substances at high temperature, which enter the gas storage chamber 353 of the guide tube through the gas collection hole 352. During the ultra-high pressure rapid growth stage, when the surface temperature of the seed crystal 39 stabilizes at 2150±5℃, the inert gas inlet mechanism rapidly injects argon gas, increasing the pressure from 10-100 mbar to 500-800 mbar within 30 minutes. Simultaneously, the water cooling equipment is started, increasing the coolant flow rate in the guide tube cooling chamber 355, maintaining the outer wall of the guide tube at 800-1000℃, forming a radial temperature gradient of 200-300℃. Under high pressure, the gaseous material forms a stable clockwise spiral upward flow field under the action of the spiral guide channel 354, extending the residence time by 20% and ensuring uniform ion distribution. The system monitors in real time with an infrared thermometer. When pressure changes cause temperature field shifts, the power of the graphite heating element 23 is automatically adjusted, and the distance between the crucible 36 and the seed crystal 39 is finely adjusted by the cylinder 31 to maintain a constant growth temperature of 2150±3℃. During this stage, the growth rate is increased to 1.2-1.5mm / h. At the same time, polycrystalline formation is suppressed by adjusting the argon gas flow rate and the cooling intensity of the guide tube 35, and the water cooling equipment continuously adjusts the coolant flow rate. The temperature of the cooling chamber 355 of the guide tube is controlled to form an axial temperature gradient conducive to crystal growth; the cylinder 31 slowly lifts the support 32 to maintain a stable growth interface; the operator monitors and adjusts the temperature and pressure parameters in real time through the observation window 25, infrared thermometer and pressure sensor. After growth, the crystal is kept at 2000-2100℃ for 2-4 hours for in-situ annealing to eliminate internal stress, and then slowly cooled to room temperature at a rate of 10-20℃ / h, while the inert gas pressure is gradually increased to atmospheric pressure.

S4; Ultra-high pressure rapid growth stage: When the seed crystal surface temperature stabilizes at 2150±5℃, argon gas is rapidly injected through the inert gas inlet mechanism, increasing the system pressure from 10-100mbar to 500-800mbar within 30 minutes; simultaneously, the water cooling equipment is started to increase the coolant flow rate of the guide tube cooling chamber, maintaining the outer wall temperature of the guide tube at 800-1000℃, forming a radial temperature gradient of 200-300℃; under high pressure, the gaseous material forms a stable clockwise spiral upward flow field through the spiral guide groove, extending the residence time by 20%; when the pressure increase causes the temperature field to shift, the power of the graphite heating element is automatically adjusted, and the distance between the crucible and the seed crystal is finely adjusted by the cylinder to maintain a constant growth temperature of 2150±3℃; under a pressure of 500-800mbar, the SiC crystal growth rate increases to 1.2-1.5mm / h, while the risk of polycrystalline formation is avoided by adjusting the argon gas flow rate and the cooling intensity of the guide tube; S5; Gas phase transport and single crystal growth: Gas phase material is uniformly distributed on the surface of the seed crystal under the action of spiral guide groove; water cooling equipment adjusts the flow rate of coolant and controls the temperature of the cooling chamber of guide tube to form an axial temperature gradient; cylinder slowly lifts the support to maintain a constant growth interface; temperature and pressure are monitored and adjusted through observation window, infrared thermometer and pressure sensor. S6; Crystal Annealing and Cooling: After growth, anneal in situ at 2000-2100℃ for 2-4 hours to relieve stress; slowly cool to room temperature at a rate of 10-20℃ / h, while simultaneously increasing the inert gas pressure to atmospheric pressure; turn off the water cooling equipment and remove the grown silicon carbide single crystal.
