The present invention provides a method for manufacturing a silicon single crystal wafer, in which a silicon single crystal wafer that is fabricated based on a Czochralski method and has an entire plane in a radial direction formed of an N region is subjected to a rapid thermal annealing in an oxidizing atmosphere, an oxide film formed in the rapid thermal annealing in the oxidizing atmosphere is removed, and then a rapid thermal annealing is carried out in a nitriding atmosphere, an Ar atmosphere, or a mixed atmosphere of these atmospheres. As a result, there can be provided the manufacturing method that can inexpensively manufacture a silicon single crystal wafer both in which a DZ layer is formed in a wafer surface layer to provide excellent device characteristics and in which an oxide precipitate functioning as a gettering site can be sufficiently formed in a bulk region.
