To synthesize a single crystal, first heat the heater around the junction between the growth chamber and the lower shaft to melt the liquid I + lx agent at the junction, and also melt the indium sealing material of the viewing window to grow. Completed the room seal. Then, the ampoule was heated to 550° C. or higher, and phosphorus vapor was supplied to the growth chamber. The growth chamber and conduits were kept at a temperature higher than that of the ampoule to prevent condensation of phosphorus vapor. Next, a heater around the crucible was heated to melt the raw material and the liquid sealant, thereby stabilizing the atmospheric gas and the raw material melt. Fix the seed crystal - rotate the shaft at a rotation speed of 5 rpm, and rotate the lower shaft that supports the crucible at a rotation speed]
