Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a silicon single crystal by pulling up the silicon single crystal from a molten silicon by the CZ method, comprising: a cooling step of cooling the silicon single crystal by a cooler surrounding the silicon single crystal, and a heat shield body disposed surrounding an outer side and a lower side of the cooler while the silicon single crystal is being pulled up; and an Ms adjusting step of determining, in advance, an allowable range of a pulling speed at which a silicon single crystal having few crystal defects can be obtained by adjusting a distance (referred to 'Ms') from the lower surface of the heat shield body disposed on the lower side of the cooler to the surface of the molten silicon, wherein the silicon single crystal 11 is pulled up at a pulling speed within the allowable range thus determined.
