摘要: The evaluation of the oxide film dielectric breakdown voltage of a silicon semiconductor single crystal is caried out by cutting a wafer out of the single crystal rod, etching the surface of the wafer with the mixed solution of hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid thereby relieving the wafer of strain, then etching the surface of the wafer with the mixed solution of K.sub.2 Cr.sub.2 O.sub.7, hydrofluoric acid, and water thereby inducing occurrence of pits and scale-like patterns on the surface, determining the density of the scale-like patterns, and computing the oxide film dielectric breakdown voltage by making use of the correlating between the density of scale-like patterns and the oxide film dielectric breakdown voltage. This fact established the method of this invention to be capable of effecting an evaluation equivalent to the evaluation of the oxide film dielectric breakdown voltage of a PW wafer prepared from the single crystal rod.

摘要: A double-wall crucible is disclosed which is constructed by coaxially disposing a cylindrical partition wall in an outer crucible for holding a molten mass of silicon as a raw material and operated by heating the outer crucible and meanwhile supplying the raw material silicon to the gap between the outer crucible and the cylindrical partition wall and introducing the consequently produced molten mass of silicon to the interior of the cylindrical partition wall through a passage below the level of the molten mass of silicon interconnecting the outer crucible and the inner side of the cylindrical partition wall and meanwhile pulling a single crystal bar from the molten mass of silicon in the cylindrical partition wall. In this double-wall crucible, at least the cylindrical partition wall is formed of quartz glass having a hydroxyl group (OH group) content of not more than 30 ppm. In the crucible of this invention, the produced silicon single crystal enjoys improved quality and the operation of pulling enjoys enhanced yield because the cylindrical partition wall is softened or deformed only sparingly by the intense heat emanating from the molten mass of silicon. Since the cylindrical partition wall does not readily soften or deform on exposure to the heat, the partition wall can be fixed in place with a simple construction and the whole apparatus for the operation of pulling enjoys simplicity of construction and low cost of production.

摘要: In a method for heat process of silicon, a single crystal silicon produced by the Czochralski process is thermally processed at a low temperature ranging from 400.degree. C. to 550.degree. C. Outside this temperature range, the oxygen precipitate is not adequate. The result is that a predetermined oxygen precipitate can be obtained uniformly in the crystal growth direction without any reduction especially at the crystal bottom part. The resulting silicon is particularly suitable for manufacture of LSI.

摘要: An apparatus for producing a silicon single crystal grown by the Czochralski method includes a main chamber having a round soulder interconnecting the upper end of a side wall and the lower end of a neck of the main chamber. The round shoulder has an inside surface so profiled as to form a portion of the periphery of an ellipse drawn about two foci which are composed of the upper end of a heater and a point of the longitudinal axis of a silicon single crystal being grown. The inside surface has a low emissivity. With the apparatus thus constructed, a silicon single crystal having a high dielectric breakdown strength of oxide film (SiO.sub.2) can be produced in a stable manner with high yield and productivity.
