SEED CRYSTAL ISOLATING SPINDLE FOR SINGLE CRYSTAL PRODUCTION DEVICE AND METHOD FOR PRODUCING SINGLE CRYSTALS

摘要

It is an object of the present invention to provide a seed crystal holding axis used in an apparatus for producing a single crystal by a solution method which enables the growth of a SiC single crystal faster than the conventional one and a method for producing a single crystal by a solution method. Wherein at least a part of a side face of the longitudinal crystal holding shaft is covered with a reflecting member having a reflectance greater than that of the longitudinal crystal holding shaft, , And a seed crystal retention axis arranged so as to be spaced apart from each other between the reflective member and the seed crystal held on the end face of the seed crystal retention axis.
