In addition, during the single crystal growth process, the lifting rod of the existing device moves up and down and rotates, and the part exposed to the upper side of the vacuum furnace body is easily contaminated with dust, resulting in the lifting rod protruding into the vacuum furnace body and bringing dust into it, affecting the quality of the grown crystal.

When about 20% of the raw material remains unmelted, the temperature is gradually lowered, the crucible position is raised, and the thermal inertia of the thermal system is used to melt the remaining material. After all the material is melted, it is just reduced to the seeding temperature. At this time, the crucible is also in the seeding position, and the second motor is started to rotate the lifting rod to start seeding. After the seeding starts, the first motor is started to drive the screw rod to rotate, so that the sliding seat moves up, so that the seed crystal starts to seed. As the seeding process begins, the seed crystal continues to adhere to the outside of the seed crystal, and the weight increases.

This design ensures that the lifting and rotating rod is always on the inner side of the corrugated sleeve and protects the lifting and rotating rod from external dust and other pollution.
