According to the single crystal growth furnace 100 provided by the embodiment of the utility model, the bottom heat preservation structure 4 and the bottom heater 3 are arranged oppositely in the vertical direction, and the bottom heat preservation structure 4 is provided with the reflecting part and the absorbing part, so that the bottom of the crucible 2 is heated uniformly, the influence of unstable vortex on the bottom of the crucible 2 is reduced, the temperature field is balanced, the uneven temperature distribution in molten soup is improved, the problems of uneven crystal growth and uneven oxygen content in crystal bars are solved, the heat loss of the bottom of the crucible 2 is reduced by the bottom heat preservation structure 4, the heat preservation effect is improved, and the problem of energy consumption waste is solved.
In some embodiments of the present utility model, as shown in fig. 1-3, the bottom insulation 4 has an upper insulation layer 41 and a lower insulation layer 42. The lower heat insulating layer 42 is arranged near the furnace body 1, and is formed with a first bottom heat insulating region 421 and a second bottom heat insulating region 422 which are alternately arranged, one of the first bottom heat insulating region 421 and the second bottom heat insulating region 422 is a reflecting portion, and the other of the first bottom heat insulating region 421 and the second bottom heat insulating region 422 is an absorbing portion. The upper heat preservation layer 41 is arranged close to the heater, and is formed with a third bottom heat preservation area 411 and a fourth bottom heat preservation area 412 which are alternately arranged, wherein the third bottom heat preservation area 411 is a reflecting part or an absorbing part, and the fourth bottom heat preservation area 412 is of a hollow structure.
