The invention discloses a low-defect
gallium antimonide single crystal growth
system capable of inhibiting
antimony volatilization. The
system comprises a PBN
crucible, a
quartz cap, a
quartz growth tube, an upper heating area, a lower heating area, an outer heat preservation layer, a heat preservation cover, a
quartz growth tube supporting piece, a quartz growth tube lifting device, an upper supporting plate, a lower supporting plate and a shell. The lower heating area is annularly fixed on the lower supporting plate; the lower slender
pipe is positioned on the inner side of the lower heating area; the
antimony volatilization inhibitor is arranged at the bottom of the lower slender tube of the quartz growth tube; the method comprises the steps that a
crystal growth quartz tube is located in
two temperature fields, an upper area heating device is used for
crystal growth, a lower area heating device is used for heating an
antimony volatilization inhibitor, antimony steam is conveyed to a
crystal growth area, a certain pressure is kept, antimony element volatilization in
gallium antimonide melt is inhibited, and the
crystal growth quartz tube is obtained. The plurality of heating units enable the
temperature gradient of a
crystal growth area to be 2-8 DEG C / cm, so that the thermal stress and defect density of the
gallium antimonide crystal in the growth process are reduced.
