Abstract
A method for producing a single crystal by pulling the single crystal with a wire according to the Czochralski method, wherein temperature around an end of joint part of the wire and a seed crystal holder is controlled so as not to exceed 1200° C., preferably 800° C., at any time, and material of the wire is one selected from tungsten, stainless steel and molybdenum, and a pulling apparatus therefor. According to the present invention, there can be provided a method in which temperature around an end of joint part of a wire and a seed crystal holder is controlled so as not to exceed a temperature at which material degradation of the wire begins during the period of from seeding to an early stage of the pulling, and a pulling apparatus therefor.
