ABSTRACT:
There are provided a system for manufacturing a single-crystal ingot which is equipped with a cooler for cooling the single-crystal ingot being pulled and is capable of forming a tail without involvement of excessive heating of a crucible, as well as to a method for controlling the system. In a system for manufacturing a single-crystal ingot having a cooler for cooling a single-crystal ingot which is being pulled from molten raw material (called a single-crystal pulled ingot), when a tail of the single-crystal pulled ingot is formed, the cooler is moved away from the solid/melt interface between the single-crystal ingot and the molten raw material, to thereby reduce the power dissipated by the system. In the system, the cooler is moved upward after the end of a product area of the single-crystal ingot has been cooled until it passes through a grown-in defect temperature range.
