Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2022140808A1] The invention relates to a method for producing an artificial sapphire single crystal. Starting with the step of crystal growth, a temperature difference ΔΤ, selected from a range of 1 °C to 60 °C, is set between an Al2O3 melt surface and a boundary surface of the growing sapphire single crystal to the Al2O3 melt, and this temperature difference ΔΤ is kept constant at least over a greater part of the duration of the crystal growth.
