摘要:
A silicon epitaxial wafer 100 is formed by growing a silicon epitaxial layer 2 on a silicon single crystal substrate 1, produced by means of a CZ method, and doped with boron so that a resistivity thereof is less than 0.018 Ω·cm. The silicon single crystal substrate 1 has a density of bulk stacking faults 13 in the silicon single crystal substrate 1 in the range of 1×108 cm−3 or higher and 3×109 cm−3 or lower. Thereby, provided is a silicon epitaxial wafer having a boron doped p+ CZ substrate with a resistivity of 0.018Ω·cm or lower, and a state of formation of oxygen precipitates can be adjusted adequately so as to secure a sufficient IG effect and to suppress a problem of bow and deformation of a substrate, despite that sizes of oxygen precipitates is so small to be observed accurately.

A silicon epitaxial layer 2 is grown in vapor phase on a silicon single crystal substrate 1 manufactured by the Czochralski method, and doped with boron so as to adjust the resistivity to 0.02 Ω·cm or below, oxygen precipitation nuclei 11 are formed in the silicon single crystal substrate 1, by carrying out annealing at 450° C. to 750° C., in an oxidizing atmosphere, for a duration of time allowing formation of a silicon oxide film only to as thick as 2 nm or below on the silicon epitaxial layer 2 as a result of the annealing, and thus-formed silicon oxide film 3 is etched as the first cleaning after the low-temperature annealing, using a cleaning solution. By this process, the final residual thickness of the silicon oxide film can be suppressed only to a level equivalent to native oxide film, without relying upon the hydrofluoric acid cleaning.

A silicon epitaxial wafer 100 formed by growing a silicon epitaxial layer 2 on a silicon single crystal substrate 1, produced by a CZ method, and doped with boron so that a resistivity thereof is in the range of 0.009 Ω·cm or higher and 0.012 Ω·cm or lower. The silicon single crystal substrate 1 has a density of the oxygen precipitation nuclei of 1×1010 cm−3 or higher. A width of a no-oxygen-precipitation-nucleus-forming-region 15, formed between the silicon epitaxial layer 2 and the silicon single substrate 1, is in the range of more than 0 μm and less than 10 μm. Thereby, provided is a silicon epitaxial wafer using a boron doped p+ CZ substrate, wherein a formed width of no-oxygen-precipitation-nucleus-forming-region is reduced sufficiently, and oxygen precipitates can be formed having a density sufficient enough to exert an IG effect.
