    摘要: A growth device and method for low-stress crystals are provided, which relate to the field of preparation of crystals, in particular to a device and method for preparing low-stress and low-defect crystals by using a pulling method. The growth device includes a furnace body; a crucible and a heating and insulation system which are arranged at a bottom of the furnace body; a crystal pulling mechanism, and a quartz observation window; the device further includes a liftable heating mantle mechanism including a heating mantle body, a heating mantle supporting component, a heating wire arranged around the heating mantle body, and a heating mantle lifting mechanism. The method includes: after crystals are pulled out of a melt, covering the crystals with a liftable heating mantle mechanism. By the use of the present invention, a temperature gradient inside the crystals in a crystal growth process and in a cooling process after the crystals are pulled can be reduced, thereby reducing the crystal stress, reducing defects, and avoiding the crystals from being cracked; and at the same time, the temperature gradient in the melt is maintained, thereby guaranteeing a stable crystal growth process and ensuring the yield of the crystals.
