Abstract
A target value of a pull-up speed of the single crystal is set in advance before starting pulling-up of the single crystal for every predetermined pull-up length, the pull-up speed moving average value is calculated from actual values of the pull-up speeds measured from a time point that pulling-up of a predetermined length of the single crystal has been started until the current time point, a corrected value of the pull-up speed target value at a current time point is calculated and the single crystal is pulled up on the basis of this corrected value. When α is a past pull-up length and β is a future pull-up length, a pull-up length (α+β) used for calculating the corrected value of the pull-up speed target value is changed with an actual value of the single crystal diameter.
