Embodiment 1

[0039] (1) if Figure 5 As shown, on the top of the graphite crucible cover, an adiabatic moving adjusting element 9 made of solid carbon (graphite) felt or soft (graphite) carbon felt is added to regulate the heat flow, and the movable adiabatic adjusting element 9 is suspended on the graphite The lower end of the connecting rod. The connecting rod is connected with the precision linear motion system installed outside the vacuum furnace described in the following (2) through the vacuum dynamic sealing junction. When growing crystals, the movable heat insulating adjustment element 9 can be moved according to the process requirements to change the heat preservation effect above the crucible to offset the influence of the increase in crystal thickness on the temperature of the growth surface.

Abstract

The invention relates to a method and a device for growing a silicon carbide crystal according to a PVT (Physical Vapor Transport) method. A moveable heat-insulating adjusting element is arranged above a crucible; when the silicon carbide crystal grows, with the thickening of the crystal on a crucible cover, a distance D between the moveable heat-insulating adjusting element and the crucible cover is gradually increased, wherein the thermal resistance Rc of the crystal to thermal flux Q is increased, with the increasing of the thickness of the crystal; the equivalent thermal resistance Rb of the moveable heat-insulating adjusting element to the thermal flux Q is reduced while the distance D is increased; and the temperature of a crystal interface is kept unchanged by keeping the dynamic balance between the increment of Rc and the reduction of Rb. According to the method, a heat-insulating adjusting element on the crucible cover is changed into the heat-insulating adjusting element which can move according to the technical demand during the growing process of the crystal. A geometric structure of a heat-insulating system and the energy output of a graphite crucible are changed by changing the distance between the moveable heat-insulating adjusting element and the crucible cover, so that the purpose of adjusting the temperature field in the graphite crucible during the growing process of the crystal is achieved.
