Large diameter ZnTe single crystals were grown by the liquid‐encapsulated pulling method using a double crucible. Crystals of around 80 mm in diameter and 40 mm in length were reproducibly obtained by this method. Both 〈100〉 and 〈110〉 crystals were successfully grown. The strong facet growth was observed when the shoulder part of the bulk was formed. Rectangular facet growth was observed in 〈100〉 growth and hexagonal facet growth was observed in 〈110〉 growth. The etch pit density of the grown crystal was lower than 10000 cm −2 and the strain in the crystal was lower than that of modified liquid encapsulated Kyropoulos method.
