Definitions
- the present invention relates to a large-diameter epitaxial silicon wafer, a method for producing the same, and a substrate for an epitaxial silicon wafer.
- CZ method Czochralski method
- epiu epi-silicon silicon
- the epi-wafer consists of an epitaxial layer (hereinafter referred to as an epi-layer), which is cut out of a silicon single crystal grown by the cZ method or the like. Is produced by growing Until now, the quality of the mirror silicon substrate used as the substrate has been neglected because the epi layer has been deposited on the epi layer.
- an epi-layer an epitaxial layer
- the V region is the region where recesses and vacancies are predominantly generated due to lack of silicon atoms, and the V region is due to the extra silicon atoms.
- This V region There is a high density of glow-in defects such as FPDs, LSTDs, and COPs, which are attributed to voids where vacancy-type point defects are aggregated, and it is thought that dislocation loops are caused in region I.
- L / D abbreviation of interstitial dislocation loop, LSEPD, LFPD, etc.
- the boundary between the V region and the I region in the crystal is defined by the crystal growth rate F [mm / min] and the temperature gradient Gl ° C / ⁇ m] in the direction of the crystal growth axis near the crystal growth interface.

- the temperature gradient G in the crystal growth axis direction has a distribution in the radial direction of the crystal growth interface, and is small at the center and large at the periphery of the crystal (see Fig. 1). Since the growth rate of the growing crystal is constant in the radial direction, the radial distribution of FZG is the reciprocal of the radial distribution of G. If FZG exceeds a certain value over the entire growth interface of the crystal, a crystal without I region can be obtained over the entire wafer. However, at this time, the outer periphery of the crystal, 20 mm, is a region where point defects can be diffused outward to the crystal surface and disappear, so this part is usually excluded.

- the growth conditions FZG at the crystal periphery 2 O mm position 0. 1 5 5 mm 2 / ° C ⁇ min and a diameter of 8 was pulled inch single From the crystal rod, a wafer (assumed to be W-1) that includes the I region almost entirely in the plane, and the growth condition at the periphery of the crystal at 20 mm FZG is 0.239 mm 2 / ° C ⁇ From the single crystal rod pulled as min, an wafer (assumed to be W-2) that did not include the I region over the entire surface was fabricated.
- the calculation of G includes, for example, an integrated heat transfer analysis software called FEMAG (F. D upret, P. Nicodeme, Y. Ryckma ⁇ s, P. W outers, and M. J. Using the Crochet, Int. J. Heat Mass Transfer, 33, 1849 (1900), the melting point of the silicon is 14 14 Calculate the distance to the position where the temperature reaches 0 ° C, and divide the value obtained by dividing 12 ° C (14 12 ° C-140 ° C) by this distance into G (° C / mm). When these wafers were observed using a high-sensitivity particle counter, very small particle-like scattering was detected at the outer periphery corresponding to the region I of W-1. [See Fig.
- a central magnetic field strength of 400 mm Gauss horizontal magnetic field was applied to the HMCZ method, and a 12-inch single crystal with a resistivity of about 10 ⁇ cm was cut from a 28-inch crucible.
- the crystal was grown at 7.0 rpm. According to the hot zone used here, G at 20 mm around the crystal was 3.55 ° C mm. At this time, it was possible to grow at a growth rate of 0.99 mm Z min.
- the FZG at the periphery 20 mm is 0.279 mm 2 /. C 'min.
- Example 2 Under the same conditions as in Example 1 except that a normal CZ method without a magnetic field was used, a 12-inch single crystal with a resistivity of about 10 ⁇ cm was used as a 28-inch Norrebo. It grew up from.
- the oxygen concentration of the crystals used in this evaluation was 13 ppma (JEIDA) or more, and the heat treatment was performed at 100 ° C for 3 hours and at 115 ° C for 100 minutes. If the OSF ring was not detected after a single heat treatment, the heat treatment was performed at 115 ° C for 100 minutes. In this way, if the OSF ring does not come out through two heat treatments, the OSF ring Judged that it was not detected.
- a G at 20 mm around an 8-inch crystal of 0.08 ⁇ ⁇ cm is grown at a growth rate of 1.7 using a hot zone of 4.33 ° / 11111. Growed at 8 mm / min.
- the oxygen concentration obtained by the gas fusion method was The in-plane distribution was less than 10%.
- Resistivity 0. 0 0 8 Q 'required F / G in cm are shorted with the above formula, 0. 4 0 mm 2 / ° C' min der is, at around 2 O mm of this grown crystals
- F / G is Ru 0. 4 1 mm 2 / ° C ⁇ min der. No OSF ring was detected in the wafer sample cut from this crystal. Therefore, it was confirmed that the entire surface of the wafer was the V region.
- the growth rate is 1.0. It was grown at O mmZ min. According to the above formula, the required F / G at the resistivity of 0.014 ⁇ ⁇ cm is 0.273 mm 2 / ° C ⁇ min, and the F / G at 2 O mm around the crystal grown this time is / G 0 at. 2 6 7 mm 2 / ° C ⁇ min, resulted below the calculated value.
- the OSF ring was detected at a position 25 mm from the periphery of the wafer sample cut from this crystal, and it was confirmed that the I region was included in the periphery.
- Comparative Example 2 above is one of the results of a series of experiments performed to obtain the F / G-p relational expression.These experiments were repeated under different conditions to improve the accuracy of the relational expression. This was proved by 2 and Example 3.
- a silicon single bond having a diameter of 8 inches and a diameter of 12 inches is used.
- the present invention is not limited to this, and is applicable to, for example, a silicon single crystal having a diameter of 16 inches or more, regardless of the diameter.
