    摘要: A process for production of a silicon ingot, by which a silicon ingot exhibiting a low resistivity even in the top portion can be produced. The process for the production of a silicon ingot includes withdrawing a silicon seed crystal from a silicon melt to grow a silicon single crystal, with the silicon seed crystal and the silicon melt containing dopants of the same kind. The process includes the dipping step of dipping a silicon seed crystal containing a dopant in a specific concentration in a silicon melt in such a manner that the temperature difference between both falls within the range of 50 to 97K, and the growing step of growing a silicon single crystal withdrawn after the dipping to form a silicon ingot, the growing step being conducted by using a single crystal puller provided with a thermal shield plate for shielding against radiant heat emitted from the silicon melt and controlling the distance between the thermal shield plate and the silicon melt within a specific range.

    摘要: In consideration of influence of segregation, an evaporation area of a volatile dopant and influence of a pulling-up speed at the time of manufacturing a monocrystal by use of a monocrystal pulling-up device, an evaporation speed formula for calculating an evaporation speed of the dopant is derived. At a predetermined timing during pulling-up, gas flow volume and inner pressure in a chamber are controlled such that a cumulative evaporation amount of the dopant, calculated based on the evaporation speed formula, becomes a predetermined amount. A difference between a resistivity profile of the monocrystal predicted based on the evaporation speed formula and an actual resistivity profile is made small. Since no volatile dopant is subsequently added, increase in workload on an operator, increase of manufacturing time, an increase in amorphous adhering to the inside of the chamber, and an increase in workload at the time of cleaning the inside of the chamber can be prevented.

    摘要: The sublimation speed of dopant can be precisely controlled without being influenced by a change over time of intra-furnace thermal environment. A dopant supply unit equipped with an accommodation chamber and a supply tube is provided. A sublimable dopant is accommodated. Upon sublimation of the dopant within the accommodation chamber, the sublimed dopant is introduced into a melt. The dopant within the accommodation chamber of the dopant supply unit is heated. The amount of heating by means of heating means is controlled so as to sublime the dopant at a desired sublimation speed. The dopant is supplied to the melt so that the dopant concentration until the first half of a straight body portion of the silicon single crystal is in the state of low concentration or non-addition. After the first half of the straight body portion of the silicon single crystal is formed, the dopant is supplied to the melt so that every portion of the crystal is in the state where the dopant is added to a desired high concentration.
