    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 method for growing a single crystal according to a Czochralski method (CZ method) or a magnetic field applied CZ method (MCZ method), the method including: a first step of obtaining a melt by melting a silicon raw material loaded in a crucible; a second step of forming a solidified layer by solidifying a part of the melt; a third step of removing at least a part of the melt in a state where the solidified layer and the melt coexist; a fourth step of obtaining a melt by melting the solidified layer; and a fifth step of growing a silicon single crystal from the melt. Consequently, a method for purifying a silicon raw material and growing a single crystal on one CZ pulling apparatus and growing a single crystal with a reduced impurity concentration is provided.
