Abstract

See full text

The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing an ultra low defect semiconductor single crystalline ingot, which uses a Czochralski process for growing a semiconductor single crystalline ingot through a solid-liquid interface by dipping a seed into a semiconductor melt received in a quartz crucible and slowly pulling up the seed while rotating the seed, wherein a defect-free margin is controlled by increasing or decreasing a heat space on a surface of the semiconductor melt according to change in length of the single crystalline ingot as progress of the single crystalline ingot growth process.
