ABSTRACT:
The present invention relates to a single crystalline silicon ingot, a single crystalline wafer, and a producing method thereof in accordance with the Czochralski method which enables reduction of a large defect area while increasing a micro-vacancy defect area in an agglomerated vacancy point area, which is the area between a central axis and an oxidation-induced stacking fault ring, by providing uniform conditions of crystal ingot growth and cooling and by adjusting a pulling rate for growing an ingot to grow, thus the oxidation-induced stacking fault ring exists only at an edge of the ingot radius.
