A method of growing a rod form of a single oxide crystal is disclosed. The method uses a slit die which is placed in a crucible with a starting melt. The melt is seeded with a seed crystal while being rotated. The resulting crystal will have the same sectional shape as the shape of the upper surface of the die.

The invention provides a method and an apparatus for manufacturing single crystals wherein the weight of the single crystal pulled is measured by a weight detector. The measured weight is compared with a reference weight signal which is generated from a reference weight signal generator. A weight deviation signal representing a difference between these two signals is generated by a weight deviation detector. The weight deviation signal is differentiated by a first differentiation circuit and a differentiation output signal obtained is corrected for compensation for the buoyancy of the liquid encapsulant by a signal which is generated by a buoyancy correction signal generator. A corrected signal thus obtained is differentiated by a second differentiation circuit and is thereafter added to the corrected signal. The addition result is phase-compensated by a phase-compensating circuit. The phase-compensated signal is supplied to a heating control circuit. At the same time, the heating control circuit generates a heating control signal to a heating device in response to a program signal which is generated from a program signal generator. In response to the output signal from the heating device, a heater which controls the temperature of the melt held in a vessel and which is arranged outside the vessel is heated according to the program.

A III-V compound semiconducting single crystal is manufactured by a method using an encapsulant, which method comprises allowing the molten mass of a material for the crystal melted in advance under high pressure to be placed under a pressure lower than the pressure to be exerted during the work of pulling the crystal thereby causing the molten mass to generate bubbles and allowing the departing bubbles to entrain impurities from the molten mass, bringing a seed crystal into contact with the molten mass, applying a potential to the molten mass thereby determining the impurity concentration of the molten mass based on the results of the measurement and, after the impurity concentration of the molten mass determined as described above has reached a prescribed level, initiating the work of pulling the crystal from the molten mass.
