Liquid-phase growth apparatus and method

A liquid-phase growth apparatus for growing a crystal on a substrate, comprising:

• a crucible containing a solution that contains a raw material for forming the crystal;
• and
• a substrate holder for vertically holding the substrate, the substrate holder including:
• connectors;
• and
• a receiving component and a push component which are opposite to each other and are connected by the connectors, the push component holding an upper portion of the substrate, the receiving component holding a lower portion of the substrate,
• wherein the receiving component (i) is connected to the push component to be vertically movable in the presence of the solution contained in the crucible and (ii) has a window that facilitates circulation of the solution.

A liquid-phase growth apparatus for growing a crystal on a substrate, comprising:

• a crucible containing a solution that contains a raw material for forming the crystal;
• and
• a substrate holder for vertically holding a plurality of the substrates arranged radially at an interval in the circumferential direction of the crucible, the substrate holder including:
• connectors;
• and
• a receiving component and a push component which are opposite to each other and are connected by the connectors, the push component holding an upper portion of the substrate, the receiving component holding a lower portion of the substrate,
• wherein the receiving component is connected to the push component to be vertically movable in the presence of the solution contained in the crucible.
