Description
Technical Field

[0002] Silicon carbide crystal growth furnace is mainly used to produce silicon carbide single crystals. To ensure the crystal quality and growth efficiency, a design that can achieve uniform heating is required. Silicon carbide crystal growth furnace is a kind of equipment used to produce silicon carbide single crystals. It is usually used in the semiconductor industry. Silicon carbide single crystal is an important semiconductor material with excellent thermal properties and chemical stability.

[0003] When using an existing crystal growth furnace, the crystal inside the furnace body needs to be heated. However, during heating, an appropriate amount of silicon solution needs to be added during the heating process to melt the crystal so that the crystal can grow.
