Abstract

A large single crystal of metal orthophosphate is grown from a plurality of seed crystals by first mounting the seed crystals with one planar surface of each seed crystal substantially in contact with a planar surface of an adjoining seed crystal and a second planar surface substantially parallel to a second planar surface of the adjoining seed crystal. By known methods, the seeds are then grown into a large single crystal in an acid medium at elevated temperatures. The process is particularly useful for growing large crystals of berlinite, which can then be cut into wafers useful in surface acoustic wave devices.
