Abstract: There is disclosed a method for producing a silicon
single crystal which comprises preparing a silicon seed
crystal having a sharp tip end, and melting down a part of
the silicon seed crystal from a tip end to a position
having a predetermined thickness, followed by performing a
necking operation to form a tapered necking part and a neck
portion, and subsequently pulling a single crystal ingot
after increasing a diameter, characterized in that said
part to be melted down is a part from a tip end to a
position in which a diameter A is 1.1 to 2 times the
diameter B of the neck portion to be formed; said necking
operation is then performed in such a way that a tapered
necking part in the shape of a cone is formed at an early
stage thereof by pulling a crystal with gradually
decreasing a diameter to a minimum diameter of 5 mm or more,
and then a neck portion is formed; and subsequently the
single crystal ingot is pulled after being increased in a
diameter. 
     There can be provided a method of producing a silicon
single crystal ingot which enables growing of single
crystal ingot without lowering a rate of success in making
a crystal dislocation free in the case that a thick neck is
