次に、ヒータ16によって、GaAs単結晶60が配置された部分を除く坩堝10全体およびリザーバ40全体の温度が1240℃となるようにそれぞれを加熱して、坩堝10内のGaAs多結晶62を融解させ、さらに、リザーバ40内のGaAs多結晶62を融解させてSi64と共にリザーバ40の下方の坩堝10内に滴下した。全ての融液が坩堝10内に滴下することによって、Si-GaAs融液74を坩堝10内のGaAs単結晶60上に配置させた。
次に、図9(d)に示すように、支持体41の下端が半導体単結晶を成長させるための領域である領域Aから外れるように支持体41を上昇させ、その後、実施例1の半導体単結晶成長工程と同様の方法に従って、Si-GaAs単結晶を成長させた。
実施例1と同様の製造装置を用いて、以下の方法によってSi-GaAs単結晶を製造した。
