  • Oxide single crystal and method for production thereof, and single crystal wafer
    Patent number: 8377203
    Abstract: An oxide single crystal having a composition represented by RExSi6O1.5x+12 (RE: La, Ce, Pr, Nd, or Sm, x: 8 to 10) is grown by using the Czochralski method such that the crystal growth orientation coincides with the c-axis direction. The solidification rate (the weight of the grown crystal÷the weight of the charged raw material) in the crystal growth is less than 45%.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 27, 2006
    Date of Patent: February 19, 2013
