AI Technical Summary
In existing sapphire crystal growth equipment, the birdcage heater is prone to deformation at high temperatures, which leads to deformation of the copper electrode and copper hole. This causes the heater to deform and short-circuit with the crucible, making it impossible to provide a uniform and stable temperature field, thus affecting the crystal yield and equipment lifespan.
The birdcage heater, made of tungsten-copper alloy, features a snap-fit design between the tungsten-copper alloy electrode and the mounting base, ensuring that the heater is not easily deformed and providing a good temperature gradient and stable temperature field, thus extending its service life.
It achieves stable growth of sapphire crystals, provides a uniform temperature field, extends the service life of the heater, and reduces maintenance costs caused by improper operation.
