摘要:
A process for growing a silicon single crystal which is capable of growing a silicon single crystal at a pulling rate which is not lower than the critical pulling rate at which an OSF-generating region will be generated is provided. Such a process for growing a silicon single crystal is characterized by using an atmospheric gas for growing a single crystal which is a hydrogen-containing gas which contains a hydrogen-containing substance, and pulling the silicon single crystal at a pulling rate ranging from a value with which the ratio (a/b) of the diameter (b) of the silicon single crystal and the outer diameter (a) of a ring which consists of the OSF-generating region in the radial direction of the silicon single crystal is not higher than 0.77 to another value with which the OSF-generating region disappears at the center part of the crystal.

A process for producing a silicon single crystal includes the steps of bringing a seed crystal into contact with a silicon melt, gradually pulling the seed crystal from the melt so as to form a neck having a tapered portion and a constant diameter portion, then pulling a silicon single crystal. The atmosphere used during neck formation is a hydrogen-containing atmosphere prepared by adding a hydrogen-containing substance to an inert gas. The hydrogen-containing substance has a hydrogen gas equivalent concentration in the hydrogen-containing atmosphere of 3 to 20%.

A process for producing an SOI substrate includes the steps of forming an oxide film on at least the front surface of a first silicon substrate, implanting hydrogen ion from the surface of the first silicon substrate and thereby forming an ion implantation area in the inside of the first silicon substrate, laminating a second silicon substrate onto the first silicon substrate via the oxide film and thereby forming a laminated body of the first silicon substrate and the second silicon substrate bonded with each other, and heating the laminated body at a predetermined temperature and thereby separating the first silicon substrate at the ion implantation area and thereby obtaining an SOI substrate wherein a thin film SOI layer is formed on the second silicon substrate via the oxide film. The first silicon substrate is formed by slicing an ingot free of an agglomerate of vacancy type point defects and an agglomerate of interstitial silicon type point defects grown by a CZ method in an inorganic atmosphere including hydrogen. The layer transferred wafer separated from the SOI layer is used again as the first silicon substrate.
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.

Local irregularities in luminance are removed from a surface light source device of side light type 20 applied to a liquid crystal display or the like. In assembly, a reflection sheet 4 and a primary light source 23 are mounted on a light guide plate 2, and these components are housed at a predetermined position in a frame 21. The primary light source 23 has a fluorescent lamp 25 and a reflector 26, and supplied illumination light to an end surface (an incidence surface) 2A of the light guide plate 2. The reflector 26 presses the reflection sheet 4 against the light guide plate 2 and supports the reflection sheet. A support member 24 has a claw 24C engageable with a claw 21C of the frame 21. A light absorbable layer 27 is formed on an end portion of the reflection sheet 4. Since the reflection sheet 4 projects toward the primary light source and is pressed against the light guide plate 2 by the reflector 26, there is less quantity of light actually incident onto a lower edge ED, even if the illumination light makes a propagation toward the edge ED. Thus, it is possible to prevent the phenomenon that the edge ED on the side of the reflection sheet 4 is brightly illuminated with illumination light from occurring in the vicinity of the end surface (the incidence surface) 2A of the light guide plate 2 to which the light is supplied.

The present invention eliminates the problems associated with the use of oxygen-free copper and other high-purity copper materials as bonding wires. In accordance with one aspect of the present invention, at least one rare earth element, or at least one element selected from the group consisting of Mg, Ca, Ti, Zr, Hf, Li, Na, K, Rb and Cs, or the combination of at least one rare earth element and at least one elemented selected from the above-specified group is incorporated in high-purity copper as a refining component in an amount of 0.1-100 ppm on a weight basis, and the high-purity copper is subsequently refined by zone melting. The very fine wire drawn from the so refined high-purity copper has the advantage that it can be employed in high-speed ball bonding of a semiconductor chip with a minimum chance of damaging the bonding pad on the chip by the ball forming at the tip of the wire.In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, 0.5-3 ppm of a rare earth element and/or Y is further incorporated as an alloying component in the zone-refined high-purity copper.

A Gazania named Mitsuwa Orange having bright orange flowers which is much easier to propagate as compared to other orange trailing Gazanias, and which is very consistent as to the bright orange color in successive propagations. The foilage is noteworthy for having two characteristics not heretofore found together in any other Gazania; dark green leaves and a full trailing habit.

An object of the present invention is to provide an epitaxial wafer on which dislocation is preventable even when a LSA treatment is performed in device processes. An epitaxial wafer according to the present invention includes a wafer 11 whose nitrogen concentration is 1×1012 atoms/cm3 or more or whose specific resistance is 20 mΩ·cm or less by boron doping, and an epitaxial layer 12 provided on the wafer 11. On the wafer 11, if a thermal treatment is performed at 750° C. for 4 hours and then at 1,000° C. for 4 hours, polyhedron oxygen precipitates grow predominantly over plate-like oxygen precipitates. Therefore, in the device processes, plate-like oxygen precipitates cannot be easily formed. As a result, even when the LSA treatment is performed after various thermal histories in the device processes, it is possible to prevent the dislocation, which is triggered by oxygen precipitates, from generating.
