[0002] The heater around the crucible in the furnace cavity of the general silicon carbide crystal growth furnace generates heat during the crystal growth process, heating the silicon carbide raw material in the crucible, causing the silicon carbide raw material to sublimate, and then recrystallizing on the seed crystal bonded to the crucible cover to form a silicon carbide single crystal. One of the reasons for the hydrogen gas passing through the silicon carbide crystal growth furnace is that hydrogen gas has a low density. After the hydrogen gas enters the furnace, it moves upward.
