A single crystal growing apparatus

摘要

In a single crystal growing apparatus which pulls a semiconductor single crystal rod 14 from a semiconductor melt 13 contained in a quartz crucible 5 to grow the semiconductor single crystal, quartz crucible 5 is designed such that it can move up and down so as to maintain the level of semiconductor melt 13 constant and a main heater 7 which can move up and down and a subheater 10 which can move up and down are provided to heat semiconductor melt 13 so that the thermal environment of semiconductor melt 13 is maintained substantially constant.
