  • Patent number: 6984264
    Abstract: A single crystal pulling device is composed of a cylindrical pulling furnace, a crucible disposed in the pulling furnace in which a single crystal material for a semiconductor is poured, a cylindrical vacuum vessel coaxially disposed around the pulling furnace, and a superconducting magnet composed of a plurality pairs of coils arranged inside the vacuum vessel so as to generate magnetic field. The superconducting coils are arranged on the same horizontal plane of the cylindrical vacuum vessel, and each of the paired superconducting coils includes coils set so as to oppose to each other with respect to a central axis of the cylindrical vacuum vessel so that one coil of one pair of coils and one coil of another pair of coils adjacent to that one pair of coils constitutes a set angle, directing towards the inside of the cylindrical vessel, in a range of 100° to 130°.
