摘要:
A method of producing a Czochralski-grown silicon single crystal stably and efficiently with high production yield, which comprises the steps of setting pulling conditions such that at least a portion of a growing silicon single crystal (28) having a temperature in excess of 1150°C is spaced upwardly from a surface of silicon melt (14) by a distance greater than 280 mm; and pulling the growing silicon single crystal (28) upward while maintaining the pulling conditions. The silicon single crystal produced by this method has an excellent oxide film dielectric breakdown strength. An apparatus (2) for carrying out the method is also disclosed.

摘要:
The evaluation of the oxide film dielectric breakdown voltage of a silicon semiconductor single crystal is caried out by cutting a wafer out of the single crystal rod, etching the surface of the wafer with the mixed solution of hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid thereby relieving the wafer of strain, then etching the surface of the wafer with the mixed solution of K₂Cr₂O₇, hydrofluoric acid, and water therby inducing occurrence of pits and scale-like patterns on the surface, determining the density of the scale-like patterns, and computing the oxide film dielectric breakdown voltage by making use of the correlating between the density of scale-like patterns and the oxide film dielectric breakdown voltage. This fact established the method of this invention to be capable of effecting an evaluation equivalent to the evaluation of the oxide film dielectric breakdown voltage of a PW wafer prepared from the single crystal rod.
摘要:
Quick and inexpensive determination of an aggregate of point defects in a grown silicon semiconductor single crystal bar is accomplished by a method which comprises cutting a wafer from a freshly grown silicon single crystal bar, etching the surface of this wafer with the mixture of hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid thereby relieving the wafer of strain, treating the wafer with the mixture of K₂Cr₂O₇, hydrofluoric acid, and water thereby giving rise to pits 2 and ripple patterns 1 therein, determining the density of the pits 2 and that of the ripple patterns 1, and rating the aggregate of point defects by virtue of the correlation between the densities of the pits 1 and the ripple patterns 1 and the aggregate of point defects.
