A heat treatment for forming an oxygen precipitate nucleus is performed at 500 to 900° C. for 5 hours or more in a non-oxidizing atmosphere and a heat treatment for growing an oxygen precipitate is performed at 950 to 1050° C. for 10 hours or more on a high-oxygen and carbon-doped high-resistance silicon wafer in which resistivity is 100 Ωcm or more, an oxygen concentration is 14×1017 atoms/cm3 (ASTM F-121, 1979) or more and a carbon concentration is 0.5×1016 atoms/cm3 or more. By these heat treatments, a remaining oxygen concentration in the wafer is controlled to be 12×1017 atoms/cm3 (ASTM F-121, 1979) or less.

摘要:
The present invention aims to prevent solidification of a melt in a feeding pipe without providing heating means such as heater or heat keeping means such as heat insulating material on outer periphery of the feeding pipe when the melt is supplied from an auxiliary crucible into a main crucible via the feeding pipe by overflow. At the center of the auxiliary crucible 1 made of quartz, a pipe 1a for feeding the melt from the auxiliary crucible 1 to the main crucible 11 by overflow is formed. When the raw material in the auxiliary crucible is melted, it is designed in such manner that the raw material is not continuously supplied to the auxiliary crucible but it is supplied in such quantity that the melt overflows intermittently into an opening on the upper end of the pipe 1a from the auxiliary crucible 1 into the main crucible 11.

A mixed gas of an inert gas and a gaseous substance containing hydrogen atoms is used as an atmospheric gas for growing the single crystal. A temperature of the silicon single crystal is controlled during the growth of the crystal such that the ratio Gc/Ge of an axial thermal gradient Gc at the central portion of the crystal between its melting point and its temperature of 1350° C. to an axial thermal gradient Ge at the periphery of the crystal between its melting point and its temperature of 1350° C. is 1.1 to 1.4. The axial thermal gradient Gc at the central portion of the crystal is 3.0 to 3.5° C./mm.

To suppress a fluctuation in resistivity around a target value to thereby stably manufacture high resistivity silicon single crystals having almost the same resistivity values in a manufacturing method wherein a silicon raw material is molten to manufacture a high resistivity silicon single crystal in the range of from 100 to 2000 Ω cm with a CZ method. In a case where poly-silicon produced with a Siemens method using trichlorosilane as raw material is used as the silicon raw material, an impurity concentration in the silicon raw material is selected so as to be controlled in the range of from −5 to 50 ppta method in terms of (a donor concentration—an acceptor concentration) and the selected poly-silicon is used. In a case of a MCZ method, the poly-silicon is selected in the range of from −25 to 20 ppta and the selected poly-silicon is used. Instead of the raw material, poly-silicon produced with a Siemens method using monosilane as raw material is used. Alternatively, a silicon crystal manufactured with a CZ method or a MCZ method using poly-silicon raw material is used.

In a device and a method for measuring the position of the liquid surface of a melt while a single crystal is being pulled, two measuring-lines are defined in an image of a fusion ring which is captured by means of a two-dimensional CCD camera, the intersections of the respective measuring lines and the fusion ring, on the opposite sides of the fusion ring, are detected, and the central position of the single crystal is calculated based on the intervals between the intersections on the opposite sides of the fusion ring, whereby the position of the liquid surface of the melt is determined.
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.
