Abstract

See full text

A silicon single crystal rod (24) is pulled from a silicon melt (13) made molten by a heater (17), and a change in diameter of the silicon single crystal rod every predetermined time is fed back to a pulling speed of the silicon single crystal rod and a temperature of the heater, thereby controlling a diameter of the silicon single crystal rod. A PID control in which a PID constant is changed on a plurality of stages is applied to a method which controls the pulling speed of the silicon single crystal rod so that the silicon single crystal rod has a target diameter and a method which controls a heater temperature so that the silicon single crystal rod has the target temperature. A set pulling speed for the silicon single crystal rod is set so that V/G becomes constant, and an actual pulling speed is accurately controlled so as to match with the set pulling speed, thereby suppressing a fluctuation in diameter of the single crystal rod.
