摘要:
Since a supporting wafer contains boron of 9×1018 atoms/cm3 or more, therefore a part of the metal impurities in an active layer wafer and the metal impurities in the wafer can be captured by the boron during the heat treatment for bonding. As a result, metal contamination in the active layer can be reduced. Moreover, the wafer strength is enhanced, thus preventing the wafer slipping. Since the wafer has no COP, micro voids are not detected in the LPD evaluation of the active layer, thereby improving the reliability of the evaluation. Such a bonded wafer can be manufactured at a low cast.

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.

摘要:
A silicon single crystal is produced by the CZ process by setting a hydrogen partial pressure in an inert atmosphere within a growing apparatus to 40 Pa or more but 400 Pa or less, and by growing a trunk part of the single crystal as a defect-free area free from the Grown-in defects. Therefore, a wafer the whole surface of which is composed of the defect-free area free from the Grown-in defects and which can sufficiently and uniformly form BMD can be easily produced. Such a wafer can be extensively used, since it can significantly reduce generation of characteristic defectives of integrated circuits to be formed thereon and contribute for improving the production yield as a substrate responding to the demand for further miniaturization and higher density of the circuits.

A semiconductor wafer is produced by irradiating a laser beam to either face of a semiconductor wafer so as to fit a focusing position into a given depth position of the semiconductor wafer to generate a multiphoton absorption process only in a specific portion of the semiconductor wafer at the given depth position to thereby form a gettering sink.
摘要:
A silicon wafer which has DZ layers formed on both sides thereof by heat treatment in an atmosphere of reducing gas (such as hydrogen) or rare gas (such as argon) with a specific temperature profile for heating, holding, and cooling, and which also has a gettering site of BMD in the bulk inside the DZ layer. A silicon wafer which has a silicon epitaxial layer formed on one side thereof. The DZ layer and the silicon epitaxial layer contain dissolved oxygen introduced into their surface parts, with the concentration and distribution of dissolved oxygen properly controlled. Introduction of oxygen into the surface part is accomplished by heat treatment and ensuing rapid cooling in an atmosphere of oxygen-containing gas.
摘要:
By specifying an initial oxygen concentration in a silicon single crystal and a concentration of thermal donors produced according to a thermal history from 400° C. to 550° C. that the silicon single crystal undergoes during crystal growth, a nucleation rate of oxygen precipitates produced in the silicon single crystal while the silicon single crystal is subjected to a heat treatment is determined. Further, by specifying the heat treatment condition of the silicon single crystal, an oxygen precipitate density and an amount of precipitated oxygen under a given heat treatment condition are predicted by calculation.

The present invention provides a method for reusing a delaminated wafer, which is a method for applying reprocessing that is at least polishing to a delaminated wafer 17 byproduced when manufacturing an SOI wafer based on an ion implantation delamination method and thereby again reusing the delaminated wafer 17 as a bond wafer 21 in an SOI wafer manufacturing process, wherein, at least, a CZ wafer 11 used as the bond wafer is a low-defect wafer whose entire surface is formed of an N region, and an RTA treatment is carried out in the reprocessing with respect to the delaminated wafer 17 at a higher temperature than a temperature in formation of a thermal oxide film 12 performed with respect to the bond wafer in the SOI wafer manufacturing process. As a result, there can be provided the method for reusing a delaminated wafer which does not induce a bonding failure or a reduction in quality of an SOI layer even if the delaminated wafer byproduced when the CZ wafer having a large diameter of 200 mm or above is used as the bond wafer to fabricate the SOI wafer based on the ion implantation delamination method is repeatedly reused as the bond wafer.
