Abstract
A method for manufacturing a silicon single crystal according to a Czochralski method to manufacture an N-type silicon single crystal, including the steps of: seeding to bring a seed crystal into contact with a silicon melt in a crucible and thereafter, necking to pull the seed crystal to narrow a diameter thereof, wherein a dopant concentration in the silicon melt is predicted by a difference between a temperature at the seeding and a temperature at the necking, and resistivity of the single crystal to be pulled is controlled on the basis of the predicted dopant concentration in the silicon melt. A method for manufacturing a silicon single crystal can efficiently manufacture a silicon single crystal with a desired resistivity.
