摘要: The present invention is an apparatus for manufacturing a single crystal by growing a single crystal according to a Czochralski method, the apparatus includes a main chamber configured to house a crucible configured to accommodate a raw-material melt and a heater configured to heat the raw-material melt, a pulling chamber being continuously provided at an upper portion of the main chamber and configured to accommodate a single crystal grown and pulled, and a cooling cylinder extends from at least a ceiling portion of the main chamber toward a surface of the raw material melt to surround the single crystal being pulled. The cooling cylinder is configured to be forcibly cooled with a coolant. The apparatus includes a first auxiliary cooling cylinder fitted inside of the cooling cylinder, and a second auxiliary cooling cylinder threadedly connected to the outside of the first auxiliary cooling cylinder from a side of a lower end. A gap between a bottom surface of the cooling cylinder and a top surface of the second auxiliary cooling cylinder is 0 mm or more to 1.0 mm or less. This provides an apparatus for manufacturing a single crystal which can increase growth rate of the single crystal by efficiently cooling the single crystal being grown.

摘要: A single-crystal pulling apparatus including: a pulling furnace having a central axis; and a magnetic field generation device arranged around the pulling furnace and having superconducting coils, the apparatus applying a horizontal magnetic field to the molten semiconductor raw material, two coil axes in the two pairs of the superconducting coils are included in a single horizontal plane, and when a direction of lines of magnetic force at the central axis of the pulling furnace in the horizontal plane is determined as an X axis, a center angle α having the X axis between the two coil axes is 100 degrees or more and 120 degrees or less. This makes it possible to reduce the height of the coils, to raise the magnetic field center close to the melt surface of the semiconductor raw material, and to obtain a single crystal having a lower oxygen concentration than conventional single crystals.
