Abstract: A single crystal manufacturing including: main chamber; pulling chamber; thermal shield member provided so as to face a silicon melt; rectifying cylinder provided on the thermal shield member so as to enclose the silicon single crystal being pulled up; cooling cylinder provided so as to encircle the silicon single crystal being pulled up and including an extending portion extending toward the silicon melt; and cooling auxiliary cylinder fitted to inside of the cooling cylinder. The extending portion of the cooling cylinder includes a bottom surface facing the silicon melt. The cooling auxiliary cylinder includes at least a first portion surrounding the bottom surface of the cooling cylinder and a second portion surrounding an upper end portion of the rectifying cylinder. This enables provision of the apparatus capable of manufacturing a single crystal with a carbon concentration lower than that according to the conventional technologies.

Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing a single crystal according to a Czochralski method, including: a main chamber housing crucibles for a raw-material melt and heater for heating the raw-material melt; a pulling chamber at an upper portion of the main chamber and a single crystal pulled from the raw-material melt; a cooling cylinder extending from a ceiling portion of the main chamber toward a surface of the raw-material melt to surround the single crystal; an auxiliary cooling cylinder inside the cooling cylinder; and a diameter-enlargement member to fit into the auxiliary cooling cylinder. The auxiliary cooling cylinder has a slit penetrating in an axial direction to come into close contact with the cooling cylinder by pushing the diameter-enlargement member into the auxiliary cooling cylinder to enlarge the diameter of the auxiliary cooling cylinder. This enables efficient cooling of a growing single crystal and increases the growth rate of the single crystal.

Abstract: An apparatus for manufacturing a single crystal by growing a single crystal according to a Czochralski method, the apparatus including: main chamber configured to house crucible configured to accommodate raw-material melt, and heater configured to heat raw-material melt; pulling chamber continuously provided at upper portion of main chamber and configured to accommodate single crystal grown and pulled; cooling cylinder extending from at least ceiling portion of main chamber toward raw-material melt so as to surround single crystal being pulled, cooling cylinder configured to be forcibly cooled with coolant; and auxiliary cooling cylinder fitted in an inside of cooling cylinder. Auxiliary cooling cylinder is made of any one or more materials of graphite, carbon composite, stainless steel, molybdenum, and tungsten. The auxiliary cooling cylinder has structure covering bottom surface of cooling cylinder facing raw-material melt. Gap between auxiliary cooling cylinder and bottom surface of cooling cylinder is 1.
