Zusammenfassung:PURPOSE:To accurately estimate the pressure in a quartz ampul and to prevent the breakage of the quartz ampul by providing a recess on the low-temp. side of the quartz ampul, inserting a temp. sensor into the recess, and measuring the temp. of the recess when a compd. semiconductor single crystal is produced by a boat growth method. CONSTITUTION:The quartz ampul 3 contg. one reaction material 5 and a quartz boat 4 provided with the other reaction material is placed in the tubular furnace 2 in a high-pressure vessel 1. The quartz ampul 3 is heated to allow the reaction material 5 to react and the crystal of the semiconductor is deposited and grown in the quartz boat 4. In this case, the recess 20 is provided on the low-temp. side of the quartz ampul 3, the temp. sensor 15 is inserted into the recess, and the temp. of the part is measured. The pressure in the quartz ampul 3 is estimated from the measured temp. value by a temp.-pressure transducer 17 and the pressure difference between the estimated pressure and the pressure in the high-pressure vessel 1 ( measured by a pressure sensor 16) is adjusted to a specified value.
