DEVICE FOR GROWING OF THE RECTANGULAR MONOCRYSTALS OF SAPPHIRE Russian patent published in 2007 - IPC C30B15/34 C30B29/20 

FIELD: chemical industry; methods of growing of the rectangular monocrystals of sapphire.

SUBSTANCE: the invention is pertaining to the technology of growing from melts of the monocrystals of sapphire and may be used at production of the volumetric crystals with the crystallographic orientation along the axis <1010> or <1120>. The device contains the vacuum chamber with the installed in it the crucible, the rectangular shaper, the heater assembled out of the lamellas fixed on the current leads, the screens, the rod with the seed-crystal holder and the systems adjusting the hoisting speed of the seed crystal and power of the heater. The crucible, the generatrix of the lamellas and the deflector have the rectangular form, between the bottom of the crucible and the shaper there is the spacing, the altitude of the walls of the shaper exceeds the altitude of the crucible. The wall of the shaper in their upper part are made slit along the ribs and bent off along the slits in the direction of the walls of the chamber, the shaper rests on the upper edge of walls of the crucible by its slit parts. The technical result of the invention consists in the rise of the output of the single crystals up to 60 % due to reaching of integrity of the geometrical shape of the crystal with the crystallographic orientation along the axis <1010> or <1120> and acceleration of the growing process.

EFFECT: the invention ensures the increased output of the suitable single crystals up to 60 % due to reaching the integrity of the geometrical shape of the crystal with the crystallographic orientation along the axis <1010> or <1120> and acceleration of the growing process.
