In a crystal growth apparatus and method, polycrystalline source material and a seed crystal are introduced into a growth ambient comprised of a growth crucible disposed inside of a furnace chamber. In the presence of a first sublimation growth pressure, a single crystal is sublimation grown on the seed crystal via precipitation of sublimated source material on the seed crystal in the presence of a flow of a first gas that includes a reactive component that reacts with and removes donor and/or acceptor background impurities from the growth ambient during said sublimation growth. Then, in the presence of a second sublimation growth pressure, the single crystal is sublimation grown on the seed crystal via precipitation of sublimated source material on the seed crystal in the presence of a flow of a second gas that includes dopant vapors, but which does not include the reactive component. |
