ABSTRACT:
In this method for growing a silicon single crystal, an ambient gas where a single crystal is grown contains a gas hydrogen-containing substance, and a silicon single crystal is grown at a pull rate to form a dislocation cluster defect occurrence region at least in a portion of a radial cross section of said silicon single crystal and at a pull rate which is slower than that to form an laser scattering tomography defect occurrence region, according to the Czochralski method. This silicon wafer is sampled from a straight body of the silicon single crystal grown using said method for growing a silicon single crystal, and the LPD density of LPD of 0.09 μm or greater in the surface after 10 times of repetitions of the SC-1 cleaning is 0.1/cm2or less.
