Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent generation of polycrystal or twin and to cause growth of the title (large sized) single crystal stably at high yield by fixing mechanically to a boat a seed crystal mounted on a mounting bed for the seed crystal in the boat. CONSTITUTION:An element 7 of the group III of the periodic table (e.g. Ga) is charge in to a boat 5 of an apparatus fro producing a single crystal using a boat, and a seed crystal 6 mounted on a mounting bed 5a for the seed crystal is fixed mechanically to the boat 5 by binding, for example, with carbon yarn 10. Then, the boat 5 is introduced into one side of a quartz sealing tube 4 in such a manner that the seed crystal 6 comes to the middle part of the sealing tube 4 of the apparatus, and, on one hand, an element 8 (e.g. As) of the group V of the periodic table is arranged to the inside of a furnace core tube 3 of a heating furnace after sealing it in another side of the sealing tube under vacuum. The boat 5 is then heated in a synthesizing furnace 2 at, for example, 1,238 deg.C, and As 8 is heated on one hand at, for example, 615-620 deg.C in a vapor pressure furnace 1 to form Ga-As-melt 7', then the heating zone is shifted to the left side. Thus, synthetic Ga-As single crystal is stably grown while preventing the seed crystal 6 from being lifted by the melt 7' at the boundary between solid and liquid.

Then, the density of the liquid Ga-As melt 7' is 5.71f.

At the same night, the melt 7' lifts up the seed crystal 6 at the interface A, and at the same time, the melt 7' flows into the forming gap between the seed crystal 6 and the seed crystal stand 5a, and is rapidly cooled. Because of the occurrence of crystals and twins, it often happens that satisfactory single crystal growth cannot be achieved.

When manufacturing II-V group compound single crystals by the port method, we conducted research to ensure stable single crystal growth.As a result, we found that the fc@crystal was placed on the seed crystal stand of the boat and mechanically fixed to the port. When single crystal growth is performed in the port, the seed crystal is lifted up by the shaking of the melt in the port, and there is no possibility that the seed crystal will shift and form a gap between the seed crystal and the seed crystal stand. The knowledge that since the melt does not flow into the gap and be rapidly cooled, there is no formation of polycrystals or twins around the primary crystal, making it possible to stably grow the single crystal. I got it.
