A single crystal of the present disclosure is a plate-shaped body having two main surfaces that are opposite to each other, and has bubbles arranged in a plurality of line shapes parallel to the main surface in a region within a depth of 0.5 mm from either one of the main surfaces. Additionally, a single crystal of the present disclosure is a plate-shaped body having two main surfaces that are opposite to each other, and has bubbles arranged in a plurality of line shapes parallel to the main surface within a region from either one of the main surfaces to ¼ of the thickness which is a distance between the main surfaces.

Single crystal, die for EFG apparatus, EFG apparatus, method for manufacturing single crystal, and method for manufacturing single crystal member

A device for producing a tubular single crystal comprises a crucible, a heating means, a die disposed in the crucible, having an annular slit, and a pulling-up means. The upper surface of the die includes an upward slope that increases in height from the annular slit to an inner diameter side and an outer diameter side, respectively, progressing away from the annular slit, wherein the maximum height of the slope on the inner diameter side (H1) is greater than the maximum height of the slope on the outer diameter side (H2) and the difference (H1&#x2212;H2) is 0.1 mm or more and less than 7.5 mm.
