Single crystal growing method

A process is disclosed for producing a film of an oxide type single crystal on a substrate of such an oxide type single crystal by epitaxially growing the oxide type single crystal on the substrate through contacting the substrate onto a melt in an overcooled state. The substrate of the oxide type single crystal is contacted with the melt held in a first furnace, and the substrate of the oxide type single crystal is held inside a second furnace separated from said first furnace, and the temperature of the substrate is adjusted in the second furnace. An oxide type single crystal film-producing apparatus is also disclosed.
