ABSTRACT:
An cylindrical after-heater surrounding a single crystal being lifted and a cylindrical heat-retaining cylinder installed between the after-heater and the single crystal are provided above a reversed frustrated heat-shielding sleeve disposed near the melted liquid. The heat history of the single crystal can be controlled by adjusting the output of the after-heater and the location of the heat-retaining cylinder. By such an arrangement, rapid respond to the change of the heat environment in a furnace can be made and control of the temperature gradient of the single crystal can be achieved. The single crystal, throughout the whole length, is maintained in the range of from 1000.degree. C. to 1200.degree. C. for more than one hour during lifting operation.
