    摘要: A silicon annealed wafer having a sufficient thick layer free from COP defects on the surface, and a sufficient uniform BMD density in the inside can be produced by annealing either a base material wafer having nitrogen at a concentration of less than 1×1014 atoms/cm3, COP defects having a size of 0.1 μm or less in the highest frequency of occurrence and no COP defects having a size of 0.2 μm or more, oxygen precipitates at a density of 1×104 counts/cm2 or more, and BMDs (oxygen precipitates), where the ratio of the maximum to the minimum of the BMD density in the radial direction of the wafer is 3 or less, or a base material wafer grown at specific average temperature gradients within specific temperature ranges and specific cooling times for a single crystal at a nitrogen concentration of less than 1×1014 atoms/cm3, employing the Czochralski method. Moreover, a silicon epitaxial wafer having very small defects and a uniform BMD distribution in the inside can be formed by growing an epitaxial layer on the surface of either the first type base material wafer or the second type base material wafer. Both the silicon annealed wafer and the silicon epitaxial wafer greatly reduce the rate of producing defective devices, thereby enabling the device productivity to be enhanced.

    摘要: A method for growing a silicon single crystal used for semiconductor integrated circuit devices, wherein the single crystal is grown by the CZ method at a nitrogen concentration of 1×1013 atoms/cm3–1×1015 atoms/cm3 with a cooling rate of not less than 2.5° C./min at a crystal temperature of 1150° C.–1000° C., in which case, the pulling rate is adjusted such that the outside diameter of a circular region including oxidation-induced stacking faults generated at the center of a wafer which is subjected to the oxidation heat treatment at high temperature is not more than ⅗ of the wafer diameter, wherein the wafer is prepared by slicing the grown single crystal. In the growth method, the concentration of oxygen in the silicon single crystal is preferably not more than 9×1017 atoms/cm3 (ASTM '79). With this method, the silicon single crystal, in which the generation of Grown-in defects can be effectively suppressed, can be produced in a simple process without any increase in the production cost. Moreover, a specification of the oxygen concentration and the application of the outward diffusion treatment are capable of producing a wafer, which is optimally used for monitoring particles.

    摘要: The invention relates to a method of producing epitaxial wafers for the manufacture of high integration density devices capable of showing stable gettering effect. Specifically, it provides (1) a method of producing epitaxial wafers which comprises subjecting a silicon wafer sliced from a single crystal ingot grown by doping with not less than 1×1013 atoms/cm3 of nitrogen to 15 minutes to 4 hours of heat treatment at a temperature not lower than 700° C. but lower than 900° C. and then to epitaxial growth treatment. It is desirable that the above single crystal ingot have an oxygen concentration of not less than 11×1017 atoms/cm3. Further, (2) the above heat treatment is desirably carried out prior to the step of mirror polishing of silicon wafers. Furthermore, (3) it is desirable that the pulling rate be not increased in starting tail formation as compared with the pulling rate of the body in growing the above single crystal ingot. By taking these means, it is possible to produce epitaxial wafers having an almost constant, high level of gettering effect irrespective of the site of wafer slicing from the single crystal ingot and, furthermore, suppress the occurrence of defects within the epitaxial layer.
