Process for growing single crystal

摘要

A process for growing a single crystal comprises providing a single crystal substrate acting as a seed crystal above a source material in a container, heating the source material in an inert gas atmosphere in the container to form a sublimed source material, and discharging the sublimed source material from the container through a port above the single crystal substrate, to cause the sublimed source material to flow along and in parallel with a surface of the single crystal substrate, and grow a single crystal on the surface of the single crystal substrate.
