US Patent 7300517 Manufacturing method of hydrogen-doped silicon single crystal

A manufacturing method of a hydrogen-doped silicon single crystal. A silicon single crystal is grown under an inert atmosphere containing hydrogen in a CZ pulling furnace comprising a pull chamber connected to a main chamber. At least one portion of a mixed gas composed of a hydrogen gas and an inert gas to be introduced into the CZ pulling furnace is supplied directly to a surface of a silicon melt in the main chamber, preferably to adjacent parts to a solid-liquid interface of the surface thereof, or in the silicon melt.
