ZnGeP_2 has been known as one of the most promising infrared nonlinear optical crystal materials. It has been widely used in several kinds of advanced optical devices. It is of crucial importance to study the growth methods of ZnGeP_2 monocrystalline in the preparation of ZnGeP_2 monocrystalline with large volume,high quality and low cost. The crystal structure and application field of the ZnGeP_2 are introduced. The latest developments in polycrystal synthesis and single crystal growth of ZnGeP_2 are summarized. In addition,the main growth methods of ZnGeP_2 single crystal,including horizontal gradient freeze（ HGF） method, liquid encapsulated czochralski（ LEC） method, high-pressure vapor transport（ HPVT） method and vertical Bridgman（ VB） method are reviewed based on the crystal growth principles and the differences in growth methods. The advantages and disadvantages of these methods are also discussed. The recent advances and influential factors of ZnGeP_2 single crystal growth by HGF and VB,which are two comparative mature methods,are intensively investigated. The main problems and future development trends of the preparation technology of ZnGeP_2 monocrystalline are presented.
