摘要:
A process for producing a silicon single crystal has the crystal being pulled using the Czochralski method while being doped with oxygen and nitrogen. The single crystal is doped with oxygen at a concentration of less than 6.5*1017 atoms cm−3 and with nitrogen at a concentration of more than 5*1013 atoms cm−3 while the single crystal is being pulled. Another process is for producing a single crystal from a silicon melt, in which the single crystal is doped with nitrogen and the single crystal is pulled at a rate V, an axial temperature gradient G(r) being set up at the interface of the single crystal and the melt, in which the ratio V/G(r) in the radial direction is at least partially less than 1.3*10−3cm2min−1 K−1.

摘要:
Semiconductor wafers of silicon are produced by pulling a single crystal growing on a phase boundary from a melt contained in a crucible and cutting of semiconductor wafers therefrom, wherein during pulling of the single crystal, heat is delivered to a center of the phase boundary and a radial profile of a ratio V/G from the center to an edge of the phase boundary is controlled, G being the temperature gradient perpendicular to the phase boundary and V being the pull rate. The radial profile of the ratio V/G is controlled so that the effect of thermomechanical stress in the single crystal adjoining the phase boundary, is compensated with respect to creation of intrinsic point defects. The invention also relates to defect-free semiconductor wafers of silicon, which can be produced economically by this method.

摘要:
A single crystal of semiconductor material is produced by a method of melting semiconductor material granules by means of a first induction heating coil on a dish with a run-off tube consisting of the semiconductor material, forming a melt of molten granules which extends from the run-off tube in the form of a melt neck and a melt waist to a phase boundary, delivering heat to the melt by means of a second induction heating coil which has an opening through which the melt neck passes, crystallizing the melt at the phase boundary, and delivering a cooling gas to the run-off tube and to the melt neck in order to control the axial position of an interface between the run-off tube and the melt neck.
