This invention relates to the field of GaSb polycrystalline synthesis and purification technology, and discloses a method for synthesizing and purifying
gallium antimonide (GaSb) polycrystalline. The method includes first placing Ga and Sb elements into a
boron nitride boat, then placing the
boron nitride boat into a
quartz tube for high-temperature synthesis, followed by melting the
quartz tube using a
cutting mechanism, installing a sealing mechanism at both ends of the
quartz tube using a driving mechanism, performing
zone melting purification, and finally removing the GaSb polycrystalline and
boron nitride boat. This invention utilizes a heating chamber and a semi-circular plate to form a complete tubular structure. A lifting
assembly drives the semi-circular plate to send the quartz tube to a height coaxial with the driving mechanism,
cutting mechanism, and sealing mechanism, followed by
cutting and secondary sealing. This achieves a fully enclosed operation from GaSb polycrystalline synthesis, quartz tube melting, secondary sealing to
zone melting purification, without interrupting the protective state to remove the polycrystalline, completely avoiding external
contamination of the polycrystalline by
oxygen,
moisture, dust, etc., in the
operating environment, and ensuring the
crystal integrity and
stoichiometry of the GaSb polycrystalline.
