Provided is a silicon crystalline material, which is manufactured by a CZ method to be used as a material bar for manufacturing a silicon single crystal by an FZ method and has a grasping section for being loaded in a crystal growing furnace employing the FZ method without requiring mechanical processing. A method for manufacturing such silicon crystalline material is also provided. The silicon crystalline material is manufactured by the silicon crystal manufacturing method employing the CZ method and is provided with the grasping section, which is manufactured in a similar way as a shoulder portion, a straight body portion and a tail portion in a silicon crystal growing step employing the CZ method, and is loaded in a single crystal manufacturing apparatus employing the FZ method to grow single crystals. A seed-crystal used in the silicon crystal manufacture employing the CZ method is used as the grasping section. The grasping section is manufactured by temporarily changing crystal growing conditions to form a protruding section or a recessed section on the outer circumference surface of the straight body section or by forming a dent on the shoulder portion of the straight body portion, at the time of manufacturing the silicon crystal by the CZ method.

Silicon crystalline material and method for manufacturing the same

A method of manufacturing a silicon monocrystal by FZ method, wherein a P-type or N-type silicon crystal having been pulled up by CZ method is used as a raw material. While impurities whose conductivity type is the same as that of the raw material are supplied by a gas doping method, the raw material is recrystallized by an induction-heating coil for obtaining a product-monocrystal.
