Abstract

In order to grow a 127.86$^{\circ}$rotated LiNbO3 single crystal with good characteristics of surface acoustic wave (SAW) up to 80 mm in diameter, the temperature gradient of furnace, the growth rate and the rotation rate of crystal were changed. We could grow a crystal which had few macro defects at the conditions of temperature gradient as 30~6$0^{\circ}C$/cm, growth rate as 5 mm/hr and rotation rate as 8 rpm. The experimental ranges of the growth conditions are as follows. Temperature gradient was varied from 20 to 20$0^{\circ}C$/cm, growth rate as 5~7 mm/hr and crystal rotation rate as 6~12rpm.
