ABSTRACT:
A method for growing an antimony-doped silicon single crystal having an oxygen concentration of 12 ppma or more is employed wherein the pressure of an atmospheric inert gas within the furnace is set at a range between 10 and 50 millibars (1000-5000 Pa), and also the reference rate of rotation of the quartz crucible is set at 5 rpm or more while pulling an antimony-doped silicon single crystal having an antimony concentration of 6.times.10.sup.18 atom/cc or more from an antimony-doped silicon melt contained in a quartz crucible according to the Czochralski process. The reference rate of rotation can be increased in accordance with the increasing length of the pulled single crystal, and further a pulse-like change in rotation rate can be superimposed over the reference rate of rotation, so that the pulled single crystal can have a high and axially and radially uniform oxygen concentration throughout the entire length of the single crystal.
