- the present invention relates to a silicon single crystal wafer used as a substrate for a semiconductor device such as a memory or a CPU, and a method for manufacturing the silicon single crystal wafer.
- the surface layer used in the most advanced field has a defect-free silicon.
- the present invention relates to a method for producing a single crystal wafer and a silicon single crystal wafer.
- V vacancy-type point defects
- Si interstitial silicon
- the V region is a vacancy, that is, a region having many recesses and holes generated due to a shortage of silicon atoms, and the I region is due to the presence of extra silicon atoms.
- This is a region where there are many dislocations and excess lumps of silicon atoms, and there is no shortage or excess of atoms between the V region and the I region (neutral region, hereinafter N It may be abbreviated as “region”.
- the grow-in defects FPD, LSTD, COP, etc.
- the concentration of both point defects is determined by the relationship between the crystal pulling rate (growth rate) in the CZ method and the temperature gradient G in the vicinity of the solid-liquid interface in the crystal.
- the N region between the V region and the I region contains OSF (oxidation induced stacking fault, Oxidation Indused
- the I-rich area the area where these defects exist is called the I-rich area. Furthermore, when the growth rate is reduced to about 0.4 mm / min or less, the OSF ring aggregates and disappears at the center of the wafer, resulting in a full-area SI -rich region.
