Embodiment
Fig. 1, Fig. 2, Fig. 3, Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 are the combined type copple most preferred embodiment structure iron of special spherical crown crystal of the present invention, the combined type copple of special spherical crown crystal of the present invention is made up of 3 parts: outer crucible 1, interior crucible 2 and crucible interior cone 3, see Fig. 1, Fig. 2 and Fig. 3 respectively.Overall constitutional diagram is seen Fig. 4.Interior crucible, outer crucible and crucible interior cone are commaterial, and material can be graphite, molybdenum, tungsten and miramint etc., the polishing of outer crucible internal surface, the polishing of interior crucible outside surface, the polishing of cone upper surface.
Outer crucible is seen Fig. 1, has seed slot 11, and seed slot 11 seamlessly transits with certain radian with semisphere arc 12, and the crucible top has alternate 120 ° of 13, three grooves of three longitudinal slots.Have the transverse groove 14 of same widths in the bottom of longitudinal slot 13.
Interior crucible is seen Fig. 2, outside surface from the top begin down be three alternate 120 ° with inside and outside crucible between distance equate and be with the crosswise fixed block 21 of minus tolerance, on the interior crucible semisphere arc on the certain altitude, have and three alternate 120 ° of diversion trenchs 22 under oblique.
The top of this crucible interior cone 3 is a cone 31, be diameter and facies basialis pyramidis equal diameters under it and certain thickness right cylinder 32 is arranged, be the right cylinder 33 of minor diameter below the right cylinder 32, the height of this crucible interior cone 3 just make cone 31 bases and diversion trench 22 at the bottom of the inwall of interior crucible 2 openings along concordant.
The design that forms special spherical crown shape crucible is as follows:
Growth is to be that hemispheric special-shaped crucible constitutes jointly by inside and outside two bottoms with the formation of special spherical crown crucible, and inside and outside crucible is seen Fig. 1 and 2 respectively.Wherein outer crucible bottom has seed slot 11, and seed slot and semisphere arc 12 seamlessly transit with certain radian, and the semisphere arc has certain taper with top.The interior crucible bottom is a semisphere, and its diameter is partly with the tapering the same with outer crucible by the thickness decision of growing crystal more than the semisphere arc.In order to make inside and outside crucible assembling easier, interior crucible is higher than outer crucible semisphere arc with top from the semisphere arc with top.
Fixing means between the inside and outside crucible is:
The outer crucible top has alternate 120 ° of 13, three grooves of three longitudinal slots of the certain width and the degree of depth.Having the transverse groove 14 of same widths in the bottom of longitudinal slot, highly is half of longitudinal slot 13.The interior crucible outside surface begins down to be three alternate 120 ° and equates and be with the crosswise fixed block 21 of minus tolerance with inside and outside crucible spacing distance from the top, block width is greater than the total width of outer crucible fluting, and height is opened the longitudinal slot height greater than outer crucible.On preceding described three horizontal blocks, in the middle of the block bottom, begin to have width to be slightly smaller than three riveted pieces of outer crucible transverse groove.The width of riveted piece is slightly smaller than the outer crucible longitudinal slot, highly is slightly smaller than the outer crucible transverse groove.Outer crucible longitudinal slot bottom is identical with the height that interior crucible riveted piece bottom begins to the semisphere arc to the height that the semisphere arc begins to locate.Three blocks of interior crucible are put into the described groove rotation of outer crucible fixes inside and outside two crucibles.
Special-shaped crucible raw material and melt fill method are:
Raw material is the big raw material of the bigger material of particle and growing crystal thickness when being easy to fill, and raw material can directly be filled between the inside and outside crucible.When raw material is the powder material, carry out filling behind the binder with interior crucible in.Interior crucible is at the alternate 120 ° of diversion trenchs 22 under oblique of certain altitude on the semisphere arc and three in this case.To put into a cone 3 in the interior crucible simultaneously.There is diameter etc. cone 31 bottoms with the facies basialis pyramidis equal diameters and certain thickness right cylinder 32 is arranged, be the littler small cylinder 33 that contacts with the interior crucible bottom of diameter below the right cylinder 32, height should make above-mentioned cone base concordant with the diversion trench 22 bottom opening places of interior sidewall of crucible.Raw material is joined cone 31 tops, and the raw material fusing is after diversion trench 22 flows into the hemisphere portion between the interior outer crucible, and this design can make raw material make full use of.
The crucible design of a plurality of special spherical crown crystal of one secondary growth is as follows:
One time growth population needs N+1 crucible to be used greater than the individual crystal of N (N>2), and the fixing means between the crucible is the same described identical, and difference is that except that outside crucible all there is the little foramen primum of same diameter all crucible bottom centers.Raw material directly is filled within the penetralia crucible, raw material fusing after the circular hole of crucible bottom be filled in the semisphere between each crucible.
