    Abstract: PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a crucible and an apparatus for producing a single crystal, capable of independently controlling the temperatures of a melting tank and a growing tank and realizing the temperature distribution at the inside of the growing tank, providing a heat convection ideal for a pulling method and with which a large scale single crystal having a uniform composition and a prescribed target diameter can be produced, and to provide a method of producing the same using the same. SOLUTION: In the crucible for producing the single crystal, the melting tank is connected to the outside, from the middle of the side wall of the growing tank and communicatable flow holes are formed in the sidewall of the growing tank so that molten liquid can flow in or out between the inside of the melting tank and the inside of the growing tank. The single crystal can be obtained by supplying a powdery raw material into the melting tank of the crucible, mentioned above, for producing the single crystal, then melting the raw material, dipping a seed crystal into a melt flowing-in from the melting tank and pulling up the single crystal while growing the single crystal.
