    摘要: A method of manufacturing a damage-resistant silicon wafer is provided. The method comprises adding polycrystalline silicon to a crucible, adding a nitrogen-containing dopant to the crucible, heating the polycrystalline silicon to form a melt of nitrogen-doped silicon, pulling a nitrogen-doped silicon crystal from the melt using a seed crystal according to the Czochralski technique, forming a silicon wafer from the silicon crystal, the silicon wafer having an edge, and rounding the edge of the silicon wafer. The method may optionally include applying an electrical potential across the crucible while pulling the nitrogen-doped silicon crystal from the melt.

    摘要: In a monocrystal producing device using a pulling-down method, a raw material melt 5m is continuously supplied into a crucible 2 to grow a crystal 18 by supplying a powdery raw material 5p onto a premelt plate 3 inside an electric furnace 10 with a powdery raw material supplying device 20 and melting the powdery raw material 5p on the premelt plate 3 to generate the raw material melt 5m, and causing this raw material melt 5m to drop out inside the crucible 2. A dry air is introduced into the powdery raw material 5p inside the powdery raw material tank 6 to prevent moisture of the raw material powder 5p. A transferring tube 9 for transferring the raw material 5m is cooled to prevent the filling in the transferring tube 9 based on melting of the powdery raw material 5p. This makes it possible to produce a monocrystal having a stable chemical composition, a large diameter, and a long size at a low price.
