Abstract
There is provided a growing method of monocrystalline silicon including: pulling up monocrystalline silicon from a dopant-added melt in which a dopant is added to a silicon melt and growing the monocrystalline silicon according to Czochralski process, in which the monocrystalline silicon is grown by calculating a critical CV value, which is a product of a dopant concentration C and a pull-up speed V at a point of time when an abnormal growth occurred in the monocrystalline silicon; and controlling at least one of the dopant concentration C or the pull-up speed V to make a CV value, which is a product of the dopant concentration C and the pull-up speed V at the point of time, below the critical CV value.
