The application discloses a
crystal growth method for avoiding polycrystalline shoulder formation of
gallium oxide, and belongs to the technical field of
crystal growth. The length of a slit on the surface of a mold is designed to be less than one third of the length of the mold, the supply of melt is strictly limited to the local area of the slit in the seeding stage, and the accurate starting of a
single crystal is realized. Then, in the
lateral expansion stage of the
crystal, the interval between the upper surface of the mold and the growth interface of the crystal is actively controlled, and the melt layer in the interval is used as a dynamic and expandable
raw material supply channel. Therefore, the technical prejudice of the traditional guide mold method relying on the full-length entity slit supply of the mold is broken, the melt
exposure area is reduced to the vicinity of the growth interface, the
spontaneous nucleation of the melt in the non-target area is fundamentally inhibited, the formation of the polycrystalline shoulder (flat shoulder) is effectively avoided, the
raw material volatilization is significantly reduced, the thermal
field uniformity is improved, and the crystal quality, the growth stability and the
process efficiency are improved.
