(EN) A control method for recombination lifetimes includes a step of controlling the carrier recombination lifetime in a silicon single crystal substrate by performing a preparation step of preparing a silicon single crystal substrate from a nitrogen-added silicon single crystal grown by the FZ method, a heating step A of performing heat application, a particle beam irradiation step of irradiating thesilicon single crystal substrate with a particle beam, and a heating step B of heating the silicon single crystal substrate, thereby controlling the recombination lifetime of carriers of the silicon single crystal substrate. The method is characterized in that the nitrogen concentration Cn in the silicon single crystal substrate is adjusted by causing the nitrogen in the silicon single crystal substrate to diffuse outward in the heating step A depending on the oxygen concentration Co in the silicon single crystal substrate prepared in the preparation step, and subsequently, the particle beam irradiation step is performed. Thus, provided is the control method for recombination lifetimes which can ensure less variability in recombination lifetimes originating in nitrogen-added FZ silicon single crystal substrates, and can control recombination lifetimes with a high degree of accuracy.
