Abstract

A method for growing a compound semiconductor single crystal comprising cooling a starting material melt of a compound semiconductor with an upward increasing temperature gradient in a crystal-growing container having a seed crystal placed at a lower end, thereby growing a single crystal upward from the seed crystal, the crystal orientation of the seed crystal in a crystal growth axis direction being an offset orientation of <100>+θ, wherein the offset angle θ is 2°≦θ≦55°.
