REACTION VESSEL FOR GROWING SINGLE CRYSTAL AND METHOD FOR GROWING SINGLE CRYSTAL

摘要

It is provided a method of growing a single crystal by flux process from a melt containing sodium, in that a flux is contained in a reaction vessel made of yttrium-aluminum garnet. Compared with the case that an alumina or yttria vessel is used, it can be successfully obtained a single crystal whose incorporation amounts of oxygen and silicon can be considerably reduced, residual carrier density can be lowered, and electron mobility and specific resistance can be improved.
