Abstract
A silicon single crystal manufacturing method by a Czochralski method pulls up a silicon single crystal from a silicon melt in a quartz crucible while applying a magnetic field to the silicon melt. During a pull-up process of the silicon single crystal, the surface temperature of the silicon melt is continuously measured, and crystal growth conditions are changed based on a result of frequency analysis of the surface temperature.
