摘要:
The present invention provides an annealed wafer manufacturing method using a heat treatment method causing no change in resistivity of a wafer surface even when a silicon wafer having boron deposited on a surface thereof from an environment is subjected to heat treatment in an insert gas atmosphere and enabling the heat treatment in an ordinary diffusion furnace not requiring a sealed structure for increasing airtightness nor any specific facility such as explosion-proof facility. The present invention also provides an annealed wafer in which a boron concentration in the vicinity of a surface thereof is constant and crystal defects are annihilated. In the annealed wafer manufacturing method, a silicon wafer having a natural oxide film formed on a surface thereof with boron deposited thereon from an environment is subjected to heat treatment in an atmosphere containing hydrogen gas to remove the deposited boron before the natural oxide film is removed, and then is subjected to heat treatment in an inert gas atmosphere.

In a method for producing a silicon single crystal wafer, a silicon single crystal ingot in which nitrogen is doped is grown by a Czochralski method, sliced to provide a silicon single crystal wafer, and then subjected to heat treatment to out-diffuse nitrogen on the surface of the wafer. According to a further method, a silicon single crystal ingot is grown in which nitrogen is doped by a Czochralski method, with controlling nitrogen concentration, oxygen concentration and cooling rate, and then the silicon single crystal ingot is sliced to provide a wafer. A silicon single crystal wafer is obtained by slicing a silicon single crystal ingot grown by a Czochralski method with doping nitrogen, wherein the depth of a denuded zone after gettering heat treatment or device fabricating heat treatment is 2 to 12 &mgr;m, and the bulk micro-defect density after gettering heat treatment or device fabricating heat treatment is 1×108 to 2×1010 number/cm3. A CZ silicon wafer is provided, wherein generation of crystal defects on the surface of the wafer, and oxygen precipitation, is accelerated in the bulk portion of the wafer. The controllable range of the depth of the denuded zone and the bulk micro-defect density can be enlarged.
