7 . A process for producing a silicon single crystal which comprises:

a step of filling a crucible with raw material silicon, melting the silicon to form raw material silicon melt;

a step of introducing an As dopant comprising a mixed sintered compact of granular or powdery arsenic and silicon, the molar ratio of silicon being not smaller than 35% and not greater than 55% relative to arsenic, into the raw material silicon melt and melting the As dopant; and

a step of growing the silicon single crystal by allowing seed crystal of silicon single crystal to contact the raw material silicon melt containing the dissolved As dopant.
