- the rotational angular velocity of the single crystal silicon ingot 30 is calculated.
- the rotational angular velocity calculating unit 92 uses the speed at which the ingot 30 provided from the pulling unit 40 rotates and the diameter of the sensed ingot 30 provided from the sensor 90, thereby increasing the ingot 30. Can calculate the rotational angular velocity of
- the first comparator 94 compares the rotational angular velocity calculated by the rotational angular velocity calculator 92 with the target rotational angular velocity TSR and outputs the result of comparison as an angular velocity error value to the flow rate controller 96.
- the flow rate controller 96 reduces the flow rate of the molten silicon 20 in the portion 34 in which the diameter of the grown single crystal silicon ingot 30 is sensed according to the angular velocity error value received from the first comparator 94. Let's do it.
- the flow rate controller 96 may control the pulling unit 40 and / or the support shaft driver 16 to reduce the flow rate. That is, the flow rate control unit 96 controls the rotational speed of the ingot 30 through the pulling unit 40 and the rotational speed of the crucible 10 through the support shaft drive unit 16. If it is determined through the angular velocity error value that the measured rotational angular velocity is greater than the target rotational angular velocity TSR, the flow rate control unit 96 decreases the flow velocity.

- the meniscus 34 the portion of which the diameter is sensed, may be unstable due to the strength of the node or molten silicon 20 generated during the growth of the ingot 30.
- the pulling speed is the target trajectory of the pulling speed in T (VG).
- the width 322 that fluctuates outside 320 can be very large.

If the heater 60 generates heat uniformly in the vertical direction, the maximum heat generating part is located slightly above the center or the center of the heater 60. However, when the heater 60 can adjust the amount of heat generated in the up and down direction, the maximum heat generating portion can be arbitrarily adjusted.

- the first controller 120 may control the heater 60 to change the position 62 of the maximum heating part.
- the second controller 130 checks the changed position 62 of the maximum heating unit through the first controller 120 and adjusts the position where the MGP is to be formed according to the changed position.
- the second controller 130 controls the magnetic field applying unit 80 to form the MGP at the adjusted position and applies the magnetic field to the crucible 10.
- the MGP may be determined to be located below the position 62 of the maximum heating portion.
- the MGP may be located 20% to 40% lower than the position 62 of the maximum heating portion relative to the interface of the silicon melt 20. That is, if the position 62 of the maximum heat generating portion is spaced apart from the interface of the silicon melt 20 by the first distance D1, the MGP is 20% to 40 greater than the first distance D1 from the interface of the silicon melt 20.
- the second distance may be spaced apart by a second distance D2.
- the second distance D2 may be between 50 mm and 300 mm, for example 150 mm.

As it becomes, it becomes uneven below 0.2 ppma.
- the oxygen concentration difference [Delta] Oi is larger than 0.5 ppma in the VDP region and lowers only in the IDP region, so that uniformity of the oxygen concentration difference [Delta] Oi in the radial direction of the wafer is not secured. This means that when repeated heat treatment, oxygen precipitates are generated in the VDP region.
