CRUCIBLE FOR GROWING SOLUTION AND METHOD FOR GROWING SOLUTION INSIDE CRUCIBLE

摘要

The present invention relates to a crucible and a method for growing a solution inside a crucible. More particularly, the present invention provides a crucible for growing a solution, wherein the crucible is configured to grow a single component or a compound single crystal through a reaction with a crucible component, the crucible contains a single-component melt or a melt of a partial component that constitutes a compound, the melt is made to react with the inner wall of the crucible, and the inner wall of the crucible is endowed with a roughness. According to the present invention configured as above, the inner surface of the crucible is endowed with a roughness such that, compared with a crucible having a smooth inner surface, the rate of dissolution is increased, thereby improving the rate of growth of the simple component or the compound single crystal. In addition, instead of endowing the inner surface of the crucible with a roughness, or concurrently with endowing the roughness, a block having the same component as that of the crucible having a surface roughness is inserted into the crucible, and a single crystal is then grown. Accordingly, the effect of fast corrosion of the crucible occurring in the process of growing the single crystal is dispersed by corrosion of the block, thereby providing the operational effect of preventing rapid collapse of the crucible.
