Patent ID: 11091851

Abstract:
An apparatus for manufacturing compound single crystal includes a crystal growth section to hold a seed crystal, a gas supply section to supply a metal-contained gas and a reactant gas toward the seed crystal, and a heating section to heat the seed crystal and a metal source. The gas supply section includes a crucible holding the metal source, a carrier gas supply unit, and a reactant gas supply unit. A porous baffle plate is provided in an opening of the crucible. The porous baffle plate satisfies a relationship of 80%≤(1−VH/VB)×100<100% and a relationship of 0.0003<a2/L<1.1. VB is an apparent volume of the porous baffle plate, VH is a total volume of the through-holes contained in the porous baffle plate, “a” is a diameter of the through-hole, and L is a length of the through-hole.
