Abstract
Abstract Pulling method of single crystals (6) by the Czochralski technique using a single-crystal pulling apparatus having a furnace (2) consisting of separately controlled heaters (7, 8), wherein the temperature at the seed holder (11) is measured and power is supplied to the heaters (7, 8) so that the temperature difference (ΔT) between the crucible (1) and the seed holder (11) follows a predetermined pattern as a function of the pulled-up length (Δx).
