Abstract

The invention relates to a technique for producing a high quality Si single crystal ingot with a high productivity by the Czochralski method. The technique of the invention can control the magnetic field strength of an oxygen dissolution region different from that of a solid-liquid interface region in order to control the oxygen concentration at a desired value.
