The invention relates to a shielding member and an apparatus for
single crystal growth. The shielding member is placed in an apparatus for
single crystal growth, wherein the apparatus includes a
crystal growth container including a
raw material accommodating portion which accommodates a
raw material in an inner bottom portion, and a
crystal installation portion facing the
raw material accommodating portion, and a heating unit that is configured to heat the
crystal growth container, the apparatus for
single crystal growth grows a single crystal of the raw material on a crystal installed on thecrystal installation portion by sublimating the the raw material from the raw material accommodating portion; the shielding member is placed between the raw material accommodating portion and the crystal installation portion, and includes a plurality of shielding plates, wherein each area of the plurality of shielding plates is 40% or less of a base area of the
crystal growth container, and wherein, in a case where the raw material accommodating portion is filled with a raw material, a shielding ratio provided by a projection surface of the plurality of shielding plates, which is projected onan internal circle of the raw material accommodating portion at a raw material surface, is 0.5 or more.
