An apparatus for vapour phase crystal growth comprising an envelope assembly with a one source module defining at least one source volume, a growth module defining at least one growth volume, and a manifold module defining at least one manifold volume. The source module, manifold module and growth module are configured co-operably to define a fluidly continuous envelope volume including a flow restrictor between the source volume and the growth volume. A vacuum vessel containing one or more of the envelope assemblies. An evacuator to evacuate the vacuum vessel. A fluid communication path between the envelope volume and the vacuum vessel associated with each source volume at a location on the source volume side of its associated flow restrictor. A closure mechanism is configured to restrict the fluid communication path between each source volume and the vacuum vessel. A method of employing such an apparatus is also disclosed. |
