The invention discloses a
crystal growth method for avoiding formation of a
gallium oxide polycrystal shoulder, and belongs to the technical field of
crystal growth. The length of the slit on the surface of the mold is designed to be not more than one third of the length of the mold, and melt supply is strictly limited in a local area of the slit in a seeding stage, so that accurate starting of single crystals is realized; and then, in a
crystal lateral expansion stage, actively regulating and controlling the interval between the upper surface of the mold and a
crystal growth interface, so that a melt layer in the interval is used as a dynamic and expandable
raw material supply channel. Therefore, the technical prejudice that a traditional edge-defined film-fed method depends on full-length
solid slit feeding penetrating through a mold is broken through, a melt
exposure area is reduced to be near a growth interface,
spontaneous nucleation of a melt in a non-target area is fundamentally inhibited, formation of a polycrystal shoulder (square shoulder) is effectively avoided,
raw material volatilization is remarkably reduced, thermal
field uniformity is improved, and the method is suitable for large-scale production. And the crystal quality, the growth stability and the
process efficiency are improved.
