Zinc oxide single crystals production involves heating zinc oxide containing crucible from outside by inductively operated heat source and defined cooling of zinc oxide melt in crucible by generating temperature gradients

摘要

Zinc oxide single crystals production involves heating a zinc oxide (ZnO) containing crucible from outside by an inductively operated heat source and a defined cooling of the ZnO melt in the crucible by generating temperature gradients. A change in the heating energy of the inductively operated heat source is carried out in connection with a vertical downward movement of the crucible along the heat source or a vertical upward motion of the heat source along the crucible. An independent claim is also included for a device for producing zinc oxide single crystals.
