- the crystal orientation ⁇ 100> was selected and, in order to obtain a dislocation free single crystal, the diameter of the crystal at the seed was reduced to form a shoulder portion. Subsequently, the shape of the shoulder was altered so as to obtain a single crystal having a target body diameter.
