Abstract

Disclosed is an apparatus for preparing a large-size single crystal, which relates to the field of semiconductor material preparation, and more particularly, to an apparatus for preparing a large-size single crystal from a plurality of small-size single crystals by connecting them in solid states. The apparatus includes a hydrocooling furnace, a solid connection chamber hermetically disposed in the hydrocooling furnace, and combined fixtures provided in the solid connection chamber, wherein a plurality of crystal pieces are fixed by the combined fixtures, a top column or a stress block is used for pressing the crystal piece through the combined fixtures, a heating wire surrounding the solid connection chamber is provided in the hydrocooling furnace, a vacuum tube is communicated with the solid connection chamber, and a thermocouple is disposed close to the combined fixtures. The present disclosure is advantageous in that: 1, single crystal pieces with a small size can be connected and prepared into a single crystal with a larger size, 2, in the preparation process, the problems in the conventional single crystal growth process, such as twinning and polycrystallization, can be excluded from consideration, 3, the equipment is simple, and 4, preparation of single crystals with any size is possible theoretically.
