摘要:
Using a pulling-up apparatus, an oxygen concentration of the monocrystal at a predetermined position in a pulling-up direction is controlled based on a relationship in which the oxygen concentration of the monocrystal is decreased as a flow rate of the inactive gas at a position directly above a free surface of the dopant-added melt is increased when the monocrystal is manufactured with a gas flow volume in the chamber being in the range of 40 L/min to 400 L/min and an inner pressure in the chamber being in the range of 5332 Pa to 79980 Pa. Based on the relationship, oxygen concentration is elevated to manufacture the monocrystal having a desirable oxygen concentration. Because the oxygen concentration is controlled under a condition corresponding to a condition where the gas flow rate is rather slow, the difference between a desirable oxygen concentration profile of the monocrystal and an actual oxygen concentration profile is reduced.

摘要:
For manufacturing a monocrystal, a monocrystal pulling-up device controls pressure within a flow straightening cylinder to be from 33331 Pa to 79993 Pa and a flow velocity of inert gas in the cylinder to be from 0.06 m/sec to 0.31 m/sec (0.005 to 0.056 SL/min·cm2) during a post-addition-pre-growth period. By controlling the flow velocity of the inert gas to be in the above-described range during the post-addition-pre-growth period, the inert gas flows smoothly even when the pressure within the cylinder is relatively high. Evaporation of a volatile dopant because of a reverse flow of the inert gas can be restrained. The volatile dopant can be prevented from adhering to the flow straightening cylinder in an amorphous state, and the volatile dopant can be prevented from dropping into a melt or sticking on the melt while growing a crystal. Foulings can be easily removed.

摘要:
In growing a silicon monocrystal from a silicon melt added with an N-type dopant by Czochralski method, the monocrystal is grown such that a relationship represented by a formula (1) as follows is satisfied. In the formula (1): a dopant concentration in the silicon melt is represented by C (atoms/cm3); an average temperature gradient of the grown monocrystal is represented by Gave(K/mm); a pulling-up speed is represented by V (mm/min); and a coefficient corresponding to a kind of the dopant is represented by A. By growing the silicon monocrystal under a condition shown in the left to a critical line G1, occurrence of abnormal growth due to compositional supercooling can be prevented. Gave V > A · C - 43 ( 1 )

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.
