  • Publication number: 20250027227
    Abstract: Provided are a silicon carbide crystal growth device and a quality control method. The device includes: an annealing unit, a crystal growth unit, an atmosphere control unit, and a transport system; the atmosphere control unit provides a gas environment with low water, oxygen and nitrogen; the transport system transports a plurality of target objects after high-temperature purification by the annealing unit to the atmosphere control unit; after assembling silicon carbide seed crystal and silicon carbide powder in a graphite crucible and covering with thermal insulation material to form a container inside the atmosphere control unit, the transport system transports the container to the crystal growth unit. The method uses a weighing system in a chamber of the crystal growth unit to detect a weight change of silicon carbide seed crystal and silicon carbide powder during a crystal growth process through a plurality of weight sensors of the weighing system.
