Abstract
A method of introducing nitrogen into a melt for use in producing a nitrogen-doped silicon single crystal by the Czochralski method includes adding a silicon material to a vessel, such as a quartz crucible, adding a nitrogen-containing powder, preferably silicon nitride powder, to the vessel, and heating the vessel for a time sufficient to melt the silicon material and to dissolve the nitrogen-containing in the silicon material in order to form the melt. A nitrogen-doped silicon single crystal is then produced from the melt by the Czochralski method by pulling the silicon single crystal from the melt with a seed crystal.
