摘要:
By using oxygen-containing silicon wafers obtained by the CZ method and by combining the first heat treatment comprising controlled heat-up operation (ramping) with the second heat treatment comprising high-temperature heat treatment and medium temperature heat treatment in accordance with the process for producing high-resistance silicon wafers according to the present invention, it is possible to obtain high-resistance silicon wafers capable of maintaining their high resistance even after heat treatment in the process of device manufacture while efficiently inhibiting the formation of oxygen donors and preventing changes in resistivity. Further, excellent epitaxial wafers and SOI wafers can be produced using those high-resistance silicon wafers and, therefore, they can be applied in a wide field including high-frequency communication devices and analog/digital hybrid devices, among others.

摘要:
A high resistivity p type silicon wafer with a resistivity of 100 Ωcm or more, in the vicinity of the surface being formed denuded zone, wherein when a heat treatment in the device fabrication process is performed, a p/n type conversion layer due to thermal donor generation is located at a depth to be brought into contact with neither any device active region nor depletion layer region formed in contact therewith or at a depth more than 8 μm from the surface, and a method for fabricating the same. The high resistivity silicon wafer can cause the influence of thermal donors to disappear without reducing the soluble oxygen concentration in the wafer, whereby even if various heat treatments are performed in the device fabrication process, devices such as CMOS that offer superior characteristics can be fabricated. The wafer has wide application as a substrate for a high-frequency integrated circuit device.
