A process for producing a doped silicon single crystal, comprising after-doping the melt during the pulling process with a quantity of volatile dopant ΔN(t), calculated according to the equation ΔN(t)=N0−N(t)=N0·(1−e−λa·t) or according to the approximation equation ΔN(t)=N0·λa·t where λa is an evaporation coefficient which describes process-specific evaporation behavior of the foreign substance and which is obtained after a resistance profile R(t) of a further single crystal has been measured and calculated according to the equation R(t)=R0·eλa·t, where R0 is a starting resistivity and the further single crystal is pulled under the same process conditions without being after-doped with the foreign substance.
