Abstract

An embodiment provides a silicon single crystal growth method comprising the steps of: (a) allowing the shoulder of a single crystal to grow vertically; (b) allowing the shoulder to grow horizontally after the vertical growth; and (c) allowing the shoulder to grow in a downward convex shape after the horizontal growth of the shoulder, wherein the shoulder grows at a preset rate on the basis of the final diameter of the shoulder and the shoulder growth height according to steps (b) and (c).
