Abstract

The present invention relates to a semiconductor single crystal growth method, which uses a Czochralski process for growing a semiconductor single crystal through a solid-liquid interface by dipping a seed into a semiconductor melt received in a quartz crucible and pulling up the seed while rotating the quartz crucible and applying a strong horizontal magnetic field, wherein the seed is pulled up while the quartz crucible is rotated with a rate between 0.6 rpm and 1.5 rpm.
