Abstract

A crystal growth furnace for a compound semiconductor single crystal has: a small diameter section for placing a seed crystal therein; an increasing diameter section that has diameters to increase from the small diameter section to upward; and a constant diameter section that extends from the increasing diameter section to upward. The increasing diameter section has an angle of 120 degrees or more and less than 160 degrees between inner walls opposed to each other.
