Abstract

A method for producing a silicon ingot having no defect over a wide range of region with stability and good reproducibility, wherein when a silicon single crystal (11) is pulled up form a silicon melt (13), the shape of a solid-liquid interface (14) which a boundary between the silicon melt (13) and the silicon single crystal (11) and the temperature distribution on the side face (11b) of a single crystal under being pulled up are appropriately controlled.
