CRUCIBLE FOR GROWING CRYSTAL, AND METHOD FOR GROWING CRYSTAL

摘要

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a crucible for growing a crystal and a method for growing the crystal where the crystal whose crystal orientation is equal to that of a seed crystal is grown in a high yield and a large-sized crystal is efficiently grown.

SOLUTION: The crucible 30 used for growing the crystal by a unidirectional solidification method comprises a crystal growing portion 32 which is a chamber housing a crystal raw material and growing the crystal and a housing portion 34 for the seed crystal 40 communicating through a neck portion 38 with the crystal growing portion 32. The neck portion 38 is formed to be thinner than the housing portion 34 of the seed crystal 40.
