The present invention provides an annealed wafer manufacturing method using a heat treatment method causing no change in resistivity of a wafer surface even when a silicon wafer having boron deposited on a surface thereof from an environment is subjected to heat treatment in an insert gas atmosphere and enabling the heat treatment in an ordinary diffusion furnace not requiring a sealed structure for increasing airtightness nor any specific facility such as explosion-proof facility. The present invention also provides an annealed wafer in which a boron concentration in the vicinity of a surface thereof is constant and crystal defects are annihilated. In the annealed wafer manufacturing method, a silicon wafer having a natural oxide film formed on a surface thereof with boron deposited thereon from an environment is subjected to heat treatment in an atmosphere containing hydrogen gas to remove the deposited boron before the natural oxide film is removed, and then is subjected to heat treatment in an inert gas atmosphere.

The high voltage transformer is capable of producing an output voltage of 10-35 kV and comprises a primary coil, a secondary coil, and a magnetic core, wherein a casting resin is injected into the coil part and subsequently cured. The casting resin and bobbin material used for making the coils have heat distortion temperature of at least 130° C., and contain an inorganic filler. The surface of the bobbin may be pretreated. Thereby, adhesion between a bobbin and a casting resin is enhanced to ensure operating properly under the sever heat cycle condition and provide a small-sized heat resistant high voltage transformer.

A silicon single-crystal wafer having a diameter of 6 inches or larger and improved in the dielectric breakdown strength of oxide film especially in a peripheral part thereof is provided to thereby heighten the yield of device chips produced per wafer. This wafer has no crystal defects with regard to the dielectric breakdown strength of oxide film in its peripheral region which extends from the circumference and accounts for up to 50% of the total area, in particular which extends from the circumference to a circle 30 mm apart from the circumference. A process for producing a silicon single crystal for easily producing, by the Czochralski method, a silicon single-crystal wafer improved in the dielectric breakdown strength of oxide film especially in a peripheral part thereof without considerably lowering the production efficiency is provided. In this process, the silicon single crystal which is being grown by the Czochralski method is pulled at a rate which is 80 to 60% of the critical pull rate inherent in the pulling apparatus.

C. within the crystal is controlled to become 140 minutes or less. The method allows production of silicon single crystal wafers in which neither FPDs nor L/D defects exist on the wafer surface, which therefore has an extremely low defect density, and whose entire surface is usable.
