Conventional structure and illumination point Conventionally, when growing and manufacturing a single crystal, a method called the Bridgman method is used. In this Bridgman method, as shown in Fig. 1, a crucible 2 containing melted raw materials is moved relatively vertically in an electric furnace 3 having a certain temperature gradient. 1 1,

However,7 this method does not require moving heavy crucibles containing raw materials4. The drive device plays a major role. In order to prevent the occurrence of neck cracks, etc., the temperature of electric furnaces cannot generally be made too steep. As a result, the portion of the raw material in the crucible that is exposed to high temperatures increases5.
.. At the same time, the time spent exposed to high temperatures is also long. For this reason, convection occurs when the raw materials are melted in the crucible, which causes compositional segregation and platinum contamination.
This causes a drastic drop in the yield of crystal graining.

In other words, the present invention uses an electric furnace with a wide temperature gradient, and the height increases. It is between 9.1 and 1/6 of the total length of the crucible, and is thicker than the outside diameter of the crucible, and has an inside diameter that is large enough to move the crucible into the λ-sleeve when the crucible is placed inside. A ring is made of heat-resistant heat insulating material and has a smaller inner diameter than the furnace core tube and an outer diameter that is large enough to move into the melt when placed inside the furnace core tube, and this ring is fitted onto the outside of the crucible. In this method, a single crystal is grown by vertical movement in an electric furnace with a gentle temperature gradient.

According to this example □, as shown in ``2'', one resistant sword with a large heat capacity is produced! It is possible to set the crystal growth temperature of the electric furnace, which utilizes the radiant heat of sinter, lower than before. d in Figure 2 is the temperature distribution of an electric furnace, which is generally referred to by Bridgman, but by adding the demand at the highest point in this distribution and ring 1, the highest point at which the temperature rises is Since they are about the same, the temperature of the electric furnace can be lowered in the present invention by the amount of the increase in temperature due to the insertion of the ring 1 than in the conventional case. Therefore, less current is required to flow through the heating element in the electric furnace, and the life of the waste vehicle is extended, making it extremely economical. Also, because the gradient of the temperature distribution in the part where the ring 1 is inserted is steeper, the part of the pot 2 that is exposed to high temperatures is smaller than in the past. Therefore, it is possible to prevent as much as possible the decrease in yield due to the raw material melting zone, compositional segregation, platinum contamination, etc. in the crucible 2.Furthermore, in the conventional Bridgman method, the heavy crucible itself filled with raw materials is moved up and down. In contrast to the conventional method, the present invention requires only one driving device, which is relatively light and heat resistant, and requires only one driving device to move the heating material ring 1 up and down.

In the case of this embodiment, the ring 1 is hard-fired and the crucible 2 is lowered to maximize the effect of the machine. This embodiment allows the temperature of the electric furnace to be lower than that of the conventional Bridgman method. As a result, as in the embodiments described above, the life of the heating element of the electric furnace is extended, and the decrease in yield due to compositional segregation or platinum contamination of the obtained single crystal can be reduced.

□ Effects of the Invention □ As stated above □, the present invention provides a method in which a crucible is disposed in an electric furnace having an even temperature distribution, and a 1Ilij thermal insulation layer with a large heat capacity is placed outside the crucible. By arranging rings that can be moved vertically relative to each other, the raw material is partially melted and solidified to grow a single crystal. By using the method of the present invention, electric mold can be Since it is possible to lower the set value of the crystal growth temperature of the furnace, it is possible to not only extend the life of the heating element in the electric furnace, but also save energy. □Because there are few exposed parts, there is less compositional segregation and less platinum content), making it possible to obtain high-quality single crystals.
