    Abstract: A gallium oxide crystal manufacturing device includes a crucible to hold a gallium oxide source material therein, a crucible support that supports the crucible from below, a crucible support shaft that is connected to the crucible support from below and vertically movably supports the crucible and the crucible support, a tubular furnace core tube that surrounds the crucible, the crucible support and the crucible support shaft, a tubular furnace inner tube that surrounds the furnace core tube, and a resistive heating element including a heat-generating portion placed in a space between the furnace core tube and the furnace inner tube. Melting points of the furnace core tube and the furnace inner tube are not less than 1900° C. A thermal conductivity of a portion of the furnace core tube located directly next to the crucible in a radial direction thereof is higher than a thermal conductivity of the furnace inner tube.

    Abstract: A crucible for growing a metal oxide single crystal is provided that can facilitate the balance between the thickness and the strength (hardness) of the constant diameter portion of the crucible and is capable of performing growth of a crystal having a large diameter. The crucible according to the present invention is a crucible for growing a metal oxide single crystal, including a reinforcing belt material provided on an outer periphery of a constant diameter portion of the crucible. It is possible that the crucible has an upper portion having a thickness that is smaller than a thickness of a lower portion of the crucible, and the upper portion of the crucible is the constant diameter portion.
