摘要
A solid step process for converting a polycrystalline body to a single crystal body includes the steps of forming a selected surface topography on the body and then heating the body at a temperature below its melting temperature for a time sufficient to substantially convert the polycrystalline material to single crystal material. The surface topography includes depressions or protrusions from the body having sidewalls of the polycrystalline material that are disposed to intersect one another at junctions forming relatively sharp comers, and the dimensions of the sidewalls are greater than the average grain size of the polycrystalline material. Typically alumina is the polycrystalline material and surface features include grooves or the like. The patterned alumina body with the selected surface topography is heated to a temperature between 1800 DEG and 2000 DEG C in one or more cycles to convert the polycrystalline alumina to sapphire.
