The invention provides a method for continuous VGF crystal growth through rotation after horizontal injection synthesis, and belongs to the technical field of semiconductor crystal synthesis and growth. According to the used technical scheme, after the direct horizontal injection synthesis of a volatile element and a pure metal element, and the slow rotation of a furnace is controlled further by arotation mechanism, such that the high-purity compound semiconductor crystal is prepared through the continuous VGF crystal growth using the rotation after horizontal injection synthesis, and the condition that the seed crystal is molten by the pure metal before the VGF crystal growth can be avoided; and the method has characteristics of simple steps, simple equipment structure, easy operation and easy control, and is suitable for the industrial production of semiconductor crystals.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a device and a method for synthesizing and growing semiconductor crystals, in particular to a method for growing a rotating continuous VGF crystal after horizontal injection synthesis, which is especially suitable for the synthesis of semiconductor crystal materials with volatile elements such as indium phosphide and gallium phosphide. VGF crystal growth. Background technique [0002] Compound semiconductors are widely used in the electronics industry and are important compound semiconductor materials. For example, InP, GaP, GaAs, etc. Since the elemental composition contains volatile elements, the synthesis methods include horizontal diffusion synthesis and injection synthesis. Its crystal growth methods include LEC (Liquid Encapsulated Czochralski: liquid sealing Czochralski) method, VGF (Vertical gradient freezing: vertical gradient freezing) method, etc., because the LEC method requires high equipment cost, large crystal ...
