The method includes: receiving a silicon wafer that contains oxygen; forming a zone in the silicon wafer, the zone being substantially depleted of oxygen; causing a nucleation process to take place in the silicon wafer to form oxygen nuclei in a region of the silicon wafer outside the zone; and growing the oxygen nuclei into defects. Also provided is an apparatus that includes a silicon wafer. The silicon wafer includes: a first portion that is substantially free of oxygen, the first portion being disposed near a surface of the silicon wafer; and a second portion that contains oxygen; wherein the second portion is at least partially surrounded by the first portion.

    摘要: A photodiode includes a substrate having a first semiconductor type surface region on at least a portion thereof, and a second semiconductor type surface layer formed in a portion of the surface region. A multi-layer anti-reflective coating (ARC) is on the second semiconductor type surface layer, wherein the multi-layer ARC comprises at least two different dielectric layers. A layer resistant to oxide etch is above a peripheral portion the multi-layer ARC. Further layers are above the layer resistant to oxide etch, and thereby above the peripheral portion the multi-layer ARC. A window extends down to the multi-layer ARC. A photodiode region is formed by a pn-junction of the first semiconductor type surface region and the second semiconductor type surface layer.
