Patent ID: 7862657

Claim:
A crystal growth apparatus comprising: a rotary shaft; a susceptor having a substrate mounting portion interlocking with the rotary shaft, the susceptor revolving a substrate mounted on the substrate mounting portion about a rotation axis of the rotary shaft; a heater configured to heat the substrate mounted on the susceptor; a nozzle configured to emit raw material gas from the rotation axis side in a direction substantially parallel to a major surface of the substrate; a heat conducting member having a thermal conductivity higher than that of the susceptor, the heat conductive member being coupled to the rotary shaft; a first heat blocking part made of heat insulating material and coupled to the heat conducting member on an inner edge side of the first heat blocking part and to the susceptor on an outer edge side of the first heat blocking part; and a second heat blocking part having an infrared reflecting layer and provided in a space between the heater and the rotary shaft.
