Using a seed crystal comprising a silicon single crystal not including a vacancy excess region, a neck comprising a silicon single crystal not including a vacancy excess region is grown with a diameter contracted smaller than, or equal to that of the contact surface of the silicon seed crystal in contact with a raw material silicon melt, and necking is performed so that the length L of the neck satisfies L>=d.(cot psi), where d denotes the length of the diameter or the diagonal of the contact surface of the silicon seed crystal in contact with the raw material silicon melt, and psi denotes the angle formed between the propagation direction of dislocations and the growth direction of the neck, and then the silicon single crystal is grown with the diameter expanded.
