Abstract

A semiconductor single crystal rod having a controlled oxygen concentration distribution in the direction of length is produced by method of pulling up a semiconductor melt held in a quartz glass crucible under application of a magnetic field, which method is characterized by fixing the rotational speed of said quartz crucible at a level exceeding 5 rpm and varying the intensity of said magnetic field applied to said molten semiconductor according to the length of pull of said single crystal rod.
