The invention discloses a method and a device for horizontally synthesizing a large-size high-purity
indium phosphide polycrystalline semiconductor material. The method comprises the steps of high-purity material preparation and sealing, heating reaction and pressure regulation and control, heat preservation reaction,
temperature gradient regulation and control, cooling
crystallization, annealing treatment, pressure relief and material taking and the like. The method comprises the following steps: controlling the
molar ratio range of high-purity
indium and high-purity
phosphorus to be 1-1.2, reacting at a specific temperature, regulating and controlling the pressure to be 2.5-4.0 MPa, and controlling the axial
temperature difference to be 0-15 DEG C / cm and the radial
temperature difference to be 0-5 DEG C / cm by utilizing a direct-current resistance
heating furnace, so as to prepare the
indium phosphide polycrystal with the
diameter of 150-212mm and the length of more than or equal to 400mm. The method solves the problems of uneven radial thermal field and the like in the prior art, the
crystal does not have indium-rich and
phosphorus-rich areas, holes or cracks, the
impurity content is less than or equal to 1.0 * 10 <-6 > level, the productivity per
unit volume is improved by 4 times, the one-time synthesis amount reaches 15kg or above, the
energy consumption is reduced by 15% or above, the cost is reduced by 30% or above, and the method is suitable for industrial production.
