ABSTRACT:
In growing silicon single crystals by the CZ method, the cooling rate in the 1150-1080.degree. C. temperature zone (defect-forming temperature range) where the grown-in defects are formed is set at more than 2.0.degree. C./min to manufacture single crystals having an as-grown LSTD density of larger than 3.0.times.10.sup.6 /cm.sup.3 or a FPD density of larger than 6.0.times.10.sup.5 /cm.sup.3. As this single crystal has a small defect size, thus the dissolution rate of the defects increases by the heat treatment in a non-oxidizing atmosphere containing a hydrogen gas, so the effect of the hydrogen heat treatment can extend to the depth more than 3 .mu.m from the wafer surface.
