Abstract

An apparatus for manufacturing hexagonal Si crystal includes: a reaction tube; a mixed source part placed on one side in the reaction tube, for receiving mixed source of silicon, aluminum, and gallium which are in a solid state; a halogenation reaction gas supply pipe for supplying a halogenation reaction gas to the mixed source part; a substrate mounting part placed on the other side in the reaction tube, for mounting a first substrate, wherein the first substrate is disposed such that a crystal growth surface of the first substrate faces downwards; a nitrification reaction gas supply pipe for supplying a nitrification reaction gas to the substrate mounting part; and a heater for heating the reaction tube. The heater heats the reaction tube in a temperature range of 1100-1300° C.
