A single-crystal manufacturing apparatus comprising at least: a main chamber configured to accommodate a crucible; a pulling chamber continuously provided above the main chamber, the pulling chamber into which a grown single crystal is pulled and accommodated; a gas inlet provided in the pulling chamber; a gas flow-guide cylinder downwardly extending from a ceiling of the main chamber; and a heat-insulating ring upwardly extending from a lower end portion of the gas flow-guide cylinder with a diameter of the heat-insulating ring increased so as to surround an outside of the gas flow-guide cylinder, wherein at least one window is provided in a region between 50 and 200 mm from a lower end of the gas flow-guide cylinder, and an opening area of the window accounts for 50% or more of a surface area of the region between 50 and 200 mm from the lower end of the gas flow-guide cylinder.

1. A single-crystal manufacturing apparatus based on the Czochralski method comprising at least: a main chamber configured to accommodate a crucible for containing a raw material melt and a heater for heating the raw material melt; a pulling chamber continuously provided above the main chamber, wherein the pulling chamber is configured to pull and accommodate a grown single crystal; a gas inlet provided in the pulling chamber; a gas flow-guide cylinder downwardly extending from a ceiling of the main chamber, the gas flow-guide cylinder being made of graphite with the entire gas flow-guide cylinder being configured to guide gas flow to the grown single crystal; and a heat-insulating ring upwardly extending from a lower end portion of the gas flow-guide cylinder with a diameter of the heat-insulating ring increased so as to surround an outside of the gas flow-guide cylinder, wherein at least one window is provided in a region between 50 and 200 mm from a lower end of the gas flow-guide cylinder, and an opening area of the window accounts for 50% or more of a surface area of the region between 50 and 200 mm from the lower end of the gas flow-guide cylinder, and the window of the gas flow-guide cylinder is closed with a window plate made of quartz. 2. The single-crystal manufacturing apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a distance between the lower end of the gas flow-guide cylinder and a surface of the melt is 10 to 100 mm.
