Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for producing a silicon single crystal ingot and a silicon single crystal ingot.
- a method for producing an n-type silicon single crystal ingot using Sb (antimony) or As (arsenic) as an n-type dopant which is suitable for producing an n-type silicon wafer for an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT)
- IGBT insulated gate bipolar transistor
- a silicon wafer used as a substrate of a semiconductor device is manufactured by thinly slicing a silicon single crystal ingot and finally cleaning it through a surface grinding (lapping) process, an etching process, and a mirror polishing (polishing) process.
- a silicon single crystal having a large diameter of 300 mm or more is generally manufactured by a Czochralski (CZ) method.
- CZ Czochralski
- a silicon single crystal pulling furnace using the CZ method is also called a CZ furnace.
- an insulated gate bipolar transistor which is a type of power device, is a gate voltage-driven switching element suitable for high-power control, and is used for trains, electric power, automotive applications, etc. ing.
- IGBT Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor
- n-type silicon sliced from n-type silicon single crystal ingot doped with P (phosphorus) with a diameter of 200 mm by floating zone melting (FZ: Floating Zone) method and MCZ (Magnetic field applied Czochralski) method Wafers are currently used.
- a silicon single crystal ingot grown by the FZ method is continuously supplied with a silicon melt as a silicon raw material. Further, in the case of the gas dope FZ method, the dopant gas is further supplied continuously and quantitatively by spraying near the melt holding portion. In either case, the resistivity can be made constant in almost all of the straight body portion of the ingot. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 1, if the silicon single crystal ingot is grown by the FZ method, almost all of the straight body portion can be used as a product.
- the technology for growing FZ crystals is very difficult, and currently, the diameter of silicon single crystal ingots that can be stably manufactured by the FZ method is 150 mm, and the situation is only recently being replaced by 200 mm in diameter. In particular, it is considered that it is very difficult to manufacture a large-diameter silicon single crystal ingot having a diameter of 300 mm by the FZ method.
- a dopant that is practically used in an n-type silicon single crystal ingot for power devices using the CZ method or the MCZ method is generally P.
- An n-type silicon wafer obtained from such a P-doped silicon single crystal ingot has a current yield of at most about 10%, for example, with respect to a resistivity of 50 [ ⁇ ⁇ cm] ⁇ 10% (see FIG. 1). ).
- P has a segregation coefficient of less than 1, and therefore, as the silicon single crystal is pulled up, the P concentration (n-type dopant concentration) in the melt increases and the resistance is gradually lowered.
- P segregation coefficient 0.35 is significantly smaller than B (boron) segregation coefficient 0.8, and in the case of growing a crystal having a target resistance range over the entire length of the crystal, compared to the p-type silicon single crystal ingot. Thus, the yield of the n-type silicon single crystal ingot is lowered. Therefore, a method for improving the yield of the n-type silicon single crystal ingot has been intensively studied.
- Patent Document 1 for vertical silicon devices by pulling up a silicon single crystal by a Czochralski method from a silicon melt added with Sb (antimony) or As (arsenic) as a volatile dopant.
- a method of manufacturing a silicon wafer which is a method for manufacturing a silicon wafer for vertical silicon devices in which the flow rate of Ar gas flowing along the surface of the silicon melt is increased as the silicon single crystal is pulled up. ing.
- the evaporation rate of the volatile dopant in the silicon melt can be determined only by the pressure in the chamber of the CZ furnace. It is also greatly affected by the flow rate of Ar gas. Therefore, by the technique described in Patent Document 1, the evaporation rate of the volatile dopant can be controlled by controlling the flow rate of Ar gas flowing on the melt surface, and as a result, the segregation of the dopant can be compensated.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing an n-type high-resistance silicon single crystal ingot having a small tolerance with respect to an average resistivity, which is suitable for use in power devices.
- n-type dopant Sb and As are collectively referred to as “n-type dopant”.
- concentration of the n-type dopant in the silicon melt Sb and As are collectively referred to as “n-type dopant”.
- evaporation rate evaporation amount
- FIG. 2 shows a main part of a general CZ furnace, in which the silicon melt 10 is stored in the quartz crucible 21 and the silicon single crystal ingot 1 is pulled up while being heated by the heater 90.
- the quartz crucible 21 has a double structure held by a carbon crucible 22.
- the silicon single crystal ingot 1 receives n-type dopant in an amount of dC s (f s ) per unit solidification rate, and the silicon melt 10 has dC L (f s per unit solidification rate. ) Amount of dopant will be left behind. Further, from the silicon melt 10, the dopant is vaporized in an amount of dC v per unit time.
- the “solidification rate” means the ratio of the weight of the silicon single crystal ingot 1 being pulled to the raw material mass (that is, the mass of the silicon melt 10 before pulling).
- the n-type dopant concentration in the silicon melt is reduced.
- the present inventors considered that it should ideally be controlled so as to be kept constant at all times. In order to perform such control, it is necessary to evaporate from the melt surface a simple substance or a compound of an n-type dopant equivalent to the n-type dopant concentrated in the melt by segregation. Therefore, the present inventors first studied to maintain a constant evaporation rate (evaporation amount per unit time) of the n-type dopant during crystal pulling.
- the evaporation of the n-type dopant from the melt is considered to be evaporation in the form of a dopant element alone, antimony oxide (Sb x O y ) or arsenic oxide (As x O y ).
- a dopant element alone, antimony oxide (Sb x O y ) or arsenic oxide (As x O y ).
- Such an oxide is formed in the silicon melt by combining silicon as a raw material and oxygen eluted from the quartz crucible 21 and discharged from the silicon melt 10 in the form of a gas.
- the evaporation rate of the n-type dopant on the melt surface directly depends on the Ar gas flow rate directly above the melt.
- concentration gradient of the Sb compound or As compound in the concentration boundary layer on the gas layer side in the vicinity of the gas-liquid interface depends on the Ar gas flow rate immediately above the concentration boundary layer. It is to do. That is, as the Ar gas flow rate increases, the concentration gradient of the Sb compound or As compound increases, and the amount of evaporation of the Sb compound or As compound that evaporates from the melt also increases.
- the evaporation rate of the n-type dopant that is, the evaporation rate of the Sb compound or As compound
- the pulling speed of the silicon single crystal ingot and the diameter of the silicon single crystal ingot are not always constant and vary with time. Furthermore, since the pulling speed of the silicon single crystal ingot is also an operating parameter for controlling the ingot diameter, it is necessary to change it in accordance with the change of the thermal environment in the CZ furnace as the pulling progresses. That is, since the silicon crystal growth rate also changes due to a change in the thermal environment, the actual pulling rate also changes. As described above, even if the Ar flow rate is kept constant and the evaporation rate of the n-type dopant can be kept constant, if the pulling rate is changed, the time required to obtain a constant crystal length or solidification rate is changed.
- the amount of dopant that evaporates from the silicon melt per unit solidification rate also fluctuates, and the dopant concentration in the melt changes without being constant, and as a result, the dopant concentration in the silicon single crystal ingot grows. It will fluctuate in the direction.
- the present inventors do not control the evaporation rate [atoms / sec], which is the evaporation amount per unit time, with respect to the evaporation amount of the n-type dopant, but rather the evaporation amount per unit solidification rate [atoms / unit solidification].
- the idea was to maintain a constant rate. If the dopant evaporation amount per unit solidification rate dCv (f s ) is equivalent to the amount of dopant dC L (f s ) left in the silicon melt 10 per unit solidification rate, it depends on temporal variation factors Therefore, the concentration of the n-type dopant in the silicon melt 10 can be controlled to be constant.
- the present inventors have found that the dopant concentration in the melt can be made constant by controlling the evaporation amount per unit solidification rate [atoms / unit solidification rate] to be constant. By doing so, the dopant concentration of the silicon single crystal ingot can also be made constant in the crystal growth direction. Accordingly, it has been found that the tolerance of resistivity in the crystal growth direction of a silicon single crystal ingot can be significantly reduced as compared with the conventional case. In addition, if the evaporation amount per unit solidification rate is changed as desired during crystal pulling, a silicon single crystal ingot having an arbitrary resistivity in the crystal growth direction can be obtained.
- the gist configuration of the present invention completed based on the above findings is as follows.
- a crucible for storing a silicon melt a chamber for housing the crucible, a pressure adjusting unit for adjusting the pressure in the chamber, a pulling unit for pulling up a silicon single crystal ingot from the silicon melt, and the chamber

- the specified resistivity means a set resistivity at the time of producing a single crystal ingot.

- Test Examples 1 and 2 The pulling rate is fixed at 1.0 [mm / min] as in the above calculation, the Sb concentration in the initial melt and the Sb evaporation rate are the target resistivity 30 [ ⁇ ⁇ cm] in Table 2 (Test Example 1) and the target resistivity. The value was set to 50 [ ⁇ ⁇ cm] (Test Example 2), and the distribution of dopant concentration and resistivity in the crystal growth direction in each of Test Examples 1 and 2 was calculated using Formula [1]. . The results of Test Examples 1 and 2 are shown in FIGS. 5A and 5B, respectively. As shown in FIGS.
- Test Examples 3 and 4 On the other hand, when the pulling speed is different from Table 1, that is, when the pulling speed is 1.2 [mm / min] (Test Example 3) and 0.8 [mm / min] (Test Example 4), the target resistivity shown in Table 2 is obtained. Set the same value as the initial Sb concentration in the melt: 4.1 ⁇ 10 15 [atoms / cm 3 ] and Sb evaporation rate: 2.05 ⁇ 10 15 [atoms / cm 3 ], which are the setting conditions of 50 [ ⁇ ⁇ cm]. The dopant concentration and resistivity distribution in the crystal growth direction were calculated. The results of Test Examples 3 and 4 are shown in FIGS. 6A and 6B, respectively.

- the evaporation amount of the n-type dopant is controlled by following the fluctuation of the ingot pulling rate.
- concentration of the n-type dopant in the silicon melt 10 can be controlled to be constant without depending on the temporal variation factor.
- the method for producing a silicon single crystal ingot according to an embodiment of the present invention can be performed using a silicon single crystal pulling furnace 100 schematically shown in FIG.
- the silicon single crystal pulling furnace 100 includes a crucible 20 for storing the silicon melt 10, a chamber 30 for housing the crucible 20, and a pressure adjusting unit for adjusting the pressure in the chamber 30 (hereinafter referred to as “furnace pressure”).

- an n-type dopant made of Sb or As hereinafter simply referred to as “n-type dopant” is added to the silicon melt 10.
- the manufacturing method includes a pulling step of pulling up the silicon single crystal ingot 1 by the Czochralski method, a pressure in the chamber 30 (that is, a furnace pressure), an Ar gas flow rate while performing the pulling step,
- the n-type dopant is evaporated from the silicon melt 10 by adjusting the pulling condition value including at least one of the gap (hereinafter abbreviated as “gap”) G between the guiding portion 70 and the silicon melt 10.
- An evaporation amount control step of maintaining the evaporation amount per unit solidification rate within the range of the target evaporation amount per unit solidification rate.
- the pulling step can be performed by a conventionally known method performed using the CZ method.
- the evaporation amount [atoms / unit solidification rate] per unit solidification rate of the n-type dopant is maintained within the target evaporation amount range.
- Performing the quantity control process is one of the characteristic processes.
- “maintaining the evaporation amount per unit solidification rate within the range of the target evaporation amount per unit solidification rate” means maintaining a constant amount in a mathematical sense. Rather, it means that any one or more of the pulling condition values are controlled in order to keep the evaporation amount within the desired evaporation amount range.
- the control to maintain the fluctuation of the evaporation amount within the range of A ⁇ 10% is as follows: It is included in “maintaining the evaporation amount per unit solidification rate within the range of the target evaporation amount per unit solidification rate” and performing control so as to maintain the fluctuation of the evaporation amount within the range of A ⁇ 8%. Is preferable, and it is more preferable to perform control so as to maintain the fluctuation of the evaporation amount within the range of A ⁇ 7%.
- the target evaporation amount per unit solidification rate is preferably constant in the crystal growth direction. This is because the resistivity can be made substantially constant throughout the crystal growth direction. However, the target evaporation amount per unit solidification rate may be gradually increased or decreased according to the crystal length being pulled, or the target evaporation amount per unit solidification rate may be increased or decreased by dividing the target evaporation rate for each crystal length. By doing so, a single crystal silicon ingot having an arbitrary resistivity in the crystal growth direction can be obtained.
- the evaporation amount control step can be generally performed by the following two methods. First, a correspondence relationship between the evaporation amount per unit solidification rate of the n-type dopant and the above-described pulling condition value is obtained in advance, and the corresponding relationship is applied at the time of pulling up the subsequent batch. Hereinafter, this first method is referred to as an “batch control method”.

- a silicon single crystal ingot (hereinafter referred to as “evaluation ingot”) is produced.
- the evaluation ingot thus prepared is analyzed in the crystal growth direction, and the transition of the dopant concentration or resistivity in the crystal growth direction is obtained as a function of the solidification rate. From this transition, the transition of the evaporation amount per unit solidification rate of the n-type dopant in the silicon single crystal pulling furnace 100 (that is, the evaporation amount as a function of the solidification rate) can be calculated. The influence on the evaporation amount per unit solidification rate by the condition values including the furnace pressure, the flow rate of Ar gas, and the gap G can be confirmed.
- the Ar flow velocity has an inversely proportional relationship with the furnace pressure
- the Ar flow rate has a directly proportional relationship

Therefore, the above-mentioned condition value during pulling up so that the evaporation amount of the dopant along the solidification rate of the evaluation ingot is increased, decreased, maintained, or reduced so that the evaporation amount is maintained within the target evaporation amount range. May be changed in accordance with the solidification rate.
- one or more of reducing the furnace pressure, increasing the Ar flow rate, and reducing the gap G may be performed. It is not always necessary to adjust all three control factors in the direction of promoting evaporation. For example, while increasing the Ar flow rate, the furnace pressure is increased for fine adjustment, and the gap G is increased or decreased. You may do it.
- any one or two or more of pressurizing the furnace pressure, decreasing the Ar flow rate, and increasing the gap G may be performed. Further, it is not always necessary to adjust all three control factors in a direction to suppress evaporation. For example, while reducing the Ar flow rate, the furnace pressure is reduced for fine adjustment, and the gap G is adjusted to increase or decrease. You may do it.
- the evaporation amount of the dopant is a constant amount at a predetermined timing along the solidification rate of the evaluation ingot, the above condition value may be maintained at that timing.

- the evaporation amount per unit solidification rate of the n-type dopant can be controlled also in the following manner.
- an ingot for evaluation may be actually produced, or each parameter may be obtained by numerical calculation.
- the pulling speed is fixed to the average pulling speed of the target crystal species (or a value close thereto), and the Ar flow rate and the gap G are set to the standard values of the CZ furnace to be used. Fix and grow a plurality of ingots for evaluation by varying the furnace pressure.
- the resistivity C S (f s ) in the crystal growth direction in each evaluation ingot is measured.
- ⁇ 5> The evaporation amount per unit solidification rate dCv (f s ) is averaged to determine the relationship between the average evaporation amount per unit solidification rate and the furnace pressure.
- dCv the pulling speed

- a plurality of ingots for evaluation were grown with the Ar flow rate varied, and the procedures from ⁇ 2> to ⁇ 5> were performed to determine the average evaporation rate per unit solidification rate and the Ar flow rate. Decide on a relationship.
- ⁇ 7> Similarly, as shown in FIG.
- the pulling speed is fixed to the average pulling speed of the target crystal species (or a value close to it), and the furnace pressure and Ar flow rate are the standard of the CZ furnace used.

- ⁇ 8> Using the relationship between the average evaporation amount per unit solidification rate and the pressure in the furnace, as a function of the solidification rate corresponding to the pulling speed program as a function of the solidification rate of the ingot 1 to be pulled. Set the furnace pressure program.
- ⁇ In-situ control method> It is also preferable to use an in-situ control method instead of the batch-to-batch control method. In principle, it can be considered that the evaporation amount of the n-type dopant can be controlled more reliably within the range of the target evaporation amount.
- the method further includes a measurement step of measuring the evaporation amount per unit solidification rate of the n-type dopant while performing the pulling step, and in the evaporation amount control step, the unit per unit solidification rate measured. It is preferable to adjust the pulling-up condition value so that the evaporation amount is maintained within the target evaporation amount range.
- the concentration of the n-type dopant discharged together with the Ar gas on the Ar gas outlet side it is preferable to measure the concentration of the n-type dopant discharged together with the Ar gas on the Ar gas outlet side.
- a measurement unit 81 that performs measurement by infrared spectroscopy or mass spectrometry is provided on the Ar gas discharge port side of the silicon single crystal pulling furnace 100, and is discharged together with Ar gas by the measurement unit 81.
- N-type dopant gas analysis for example, a quadrupole mass spectrometer (QMS) can be used.
- QMS quadrupole mass spectrometer
- the Ar gas contains Sb in the form of Sb alone, SbO, Sb 2 O 3 or the like, and therefore, for example, the gas concentration of SbO may be analyzed.
- the evaporation amount per unit solidification rate can be maintained at a constant amount.
- the evaporation amount of the n-type dopant it is as described above in the batch-to-batch control method, and any one or two or more of the pulling condition values may be adjusted.
- the diameter and the pulling length of the ingot 1 being pulled are measured, and the evaporation amount per unit solidification rate based on the solidification rate based on this measurement and the concentration of the n-type dopant contained in the Ar gas. Is preferably measured.
- the diameter and length of the ingot 1 being pulled are controlled by the diameter measuring CCD camera (not shown in FIG. 7) and the winding length of the wire 52 corresponding to the pulling length is controlled. Measurement can be performed using the unit 80. By doing so, it becomes possible to control the evaporation amount more strictly according to the solidification rate during the growth.
- the solidification rate and the rate of change at the time of pulling are determined. If the above-described measuring unit 81 is used, the amount of evaporation (evaporation rate) per unit time of the n-type dopant by the silicon single crystal pulling furnace 100 or a value corresponding thereto can be measured. From the measured solidification rate and the evaporation rate of the n-type dopant, the evaporation amount of the n-type dopant per unit solidification rate can be evaluated in situ.
- any one of the furnace pressure, the Ar flow rate, and the gap G is compensated for the deviation. Is adjusted to control the evaporation amount.
- the resistance yield in the crystal axis direction of the n-type silicon single crystal ingot 1 can be improved, and the crystal cost can be reduced.
- the Ar flow rate on the surface of the silicon melt 10 is increased, resulting in carbon contamination (carbon member such as a heater). And the effect of suppressing CO gas generated by the reaction with SiO volatilized from the melt by re-dissolution and accumulation in the melt due to the backflow of the CO gas to the melt can be expected.
- this embodiment is applicable also when using any of Sb and As as an n-type dopant, when using Sb, it is more effective. This is because Sb has a much faster evaporation rate than As.
- the silicon melt 10 is a raw material for the silicon single crystal ingot 1.

Description
前記シリコン融液にはSbまたはAsよりなるn型ドーパントが添加され、
前記シリコン単結晶インゴットをチョクラルスキー法によって引き上げる引き上げ工程と、
該引き上げ工程を行いながら、前記チャンバ内の圧力、前記Arガスの流量、ならびに前記誘導部および前記シリコン融液の間隔の少なくともいずれか1つを含む引き上げ条件値を調整することで、前記シリコン融液から前記n型ドーパントが蒸発するときの単位固化率当たりの蒸発量を、単位固化率当たりの目標蒸発量の範囲内に維持するようにする蒸発量制御工程と、を含むことを特徴とするシリコン単結晶インゴットの製造方法。
前記シリコン単結晶引き上げ炉を用いて評価用シリコン単結晶インゴットを1本以上作製する工程と、
該評価用シリコン単結晶インゴットの結晶成長方向の抵抗率の推移に基づき、前記シリコン単結晶引き上げ炉における前記n型ドーパントの単位固化率当たりの蒸発量の推移を求める工程と、をさらに含み、
前記蒸発量制御工程において、前記求めた前記蒸発量の推移を用いて前記引き上げ条件値を増減させる、上記(1)または(2)に記載のシリコン単結晶インゴットの製造方法。
前記蒸発量制御工程において、前記測定した前記単位固化率当たりの蒸発量が前記目標蒸発量の範囲内に維持するように前記引き上げ条件値を調整させる、上記(1)または(2)に記載のシリコン単結晶インゴットの製造方法。
抵抗率が10Ω・cm以上1000Ω・cmの範囲内であり、結晶径が200mm以上であり、
前記シリコン単結晶インゴットの結晶成長方向における、該シリコン単結晶インゴットの40%以上が、仕様抵抗率の±7%の範囲内にあることを特徴とするシリコン単結晶インゴット。
なお仕様抵抗率とは単結晶インゴット生産時の設定抵抗率をいう。
引き上げ速度を上記計算と同様に1.0[mm/min]で一定とし、初期融液中Sb濃度およびSb蒸発速度を表2における狙い抵抗率30[Ω・cm](試験例1)および狙い抵抗率50[Ω・cm](試験例2)の値に設定し、式[1]を用いて、試験例1,2のそれぞれの場合での結晶成長方向におけるドーパント濃度および抵抗率の分布を計算した。試験例1,2の結果を図5A,Bにそれぞれ示す。図5Aおよび図5Bにそれぞれ示されるように、融液中への偏析によるドーパントの増加分と融液表面からのドーパント化合物の蒸発量が一致するため、融液中のドーパント濃度が一定に維持され、結晶軸方向に結晶中のドーパント濃度および抵抗率が狙い抵抗率とほぼ一致して一定になる。なお、図5A,Bには蒸発がない(すなわち、偏析のみ)と仮定した場合の結果も併せて示す。蒸発がない場合と比較すると、ドーパント濃度および抵抗率の維持に関して格段の差が認められる。このことは後述の図6A,Bも同様である。
一方、表1の引き上げ速度と異なる場合、すなわち引き上げ速度が1.2[mm/min](試験例3)および0.8[mm/min](試験例4)のそれぞれの場合に、表2の狙い抵抗率50[Ω・cm]の設定条件である融液中初期Sb濃度:4.1×1015[atoms/cm3]、Sb蒸発速度:2.05×1015[atoms/cm3]と同じ値を設定して、結晶成長方向におけるドーパント濃度および抵抗率の分布を計算した。試験例3、4の結果を図6A,Bにそれぞれ示す。図6A,Bから、これらの引き上げ速度の場合には、結晶成長方向のドーパント濃度、すなわち抵抗率を一定にすることはできないことが確認される。なお、図6A,Bには蒸発がない(すなわち、偏析のみ)と仮定した場合の結果も併せて示す。
本発明の一実施形態に従うシリコン単結晶インゴットの製造方法は、図7に模式的に図示するシリコン単結晶引き上げ炉100を用いて行うことができる。このシリコン単結晶引き上げ炉100は、シリコン融液10を貯留する坩堝20と、該坩堝20を収容するチャンバ30と、該チャンバ30内の圧力(以下、「炉内圧」)を調整する圧力調整部40と、シリコン融液10からシリコン単結晶インゴット1(以下、「インゴット1」と略記する)を引き上げる引き上げ部50と、チャンバ30内にArガスを供給するガス供給部60と、シリコン融液10の表面の上方に配置され、Arガスがシリコン融液10の表面に沿って流れるよう案内する誘導部70とを有し、さらに必要に応じてその他の構成を有する。ここで、シリコン単結晶引き上げ炉100において、シリコン融液10にはSbまたはAsよりなるn型ドーパント(以下、単に「n型ドーパント」と略記する)が添加される。
本実施形態にバッチ間制御方式を適用する場合、引き上げ工程に先立ち、シリコン単結晶引き上げ炉100を用いて評価用シリコン単結晶インゴットを1本以上作製する工程と、該評価用シリコン単結晶インゴットの結晶成長方向の抵抗率の推移に基づき、シリコン単結晶引き上げ炉100におけるn型ドーパントの単位固化率当たりの蒸発量の推移を求める工程と、をさらに含むことが好ましい。そして、蒸発量制御工程において、こうして求めた蒸発量の推移を用いて引き上げ条件値を増減させることが好ましい。以下、各工程の詳細を説明する。
<2>それぞれの評価用インゴット中の結晶成長方向の抵抗率CS(fs)を計測する。(fsは固化率)
<3>偏析の関係式(CS(fs)=k0CL(fs)、k0:蒸発がない場合の偏析係数)から、シリコン融液10中のドーパント濃度CL(fs)を求める。
<4>さらに、初期の融液中のドーパント濃度をC0として、蒸発がない場合の融液中のドーパント濃度:CL 0(fs)=C0(1-fs)ke-1と上記<3>で求めたCL(fs)の差から、単位固化率当たりの蒸発量dCv(fs)を求める。
<5>単位固化率当たりの蒸発量dCv(fs)を平均化して、平均の単位固化率当たりの蒸発量と炉内圧との関係を決める。
<6>同様にして、図9に示すように対象とする結晶種の平均引き上げ速度(またはその近傍値)に引き上げ速度を固定し、炉内圧およびギャップGを、使用するCZ炉の標準の値に固定して、Ar流速を変量にして複数の評価用インゴットを育成し、上記<2>から<5>までの手順を実施して、平均の単位固化率当たりの蒸発量とAr流量との関係を決める。
<7>同様にして、図9に示すように、対象とする結晶種の平均引き上げ速度(またはその近傍値)に引き上げ速度を固定し、炉内圧およびAr流量を、使用するCZ炉の標準の値に固定して、ギャップGを変量して複数の結晶を育成し、上記<2>から<5>までの手順を実施して、平均の単位固化率当たりの蒸発量とギャップGとの関係を決める。
<8>上記の平均の単位固化率当たりの蒸発量と炉内圧との関係を用いて、引き上げ対象となるインゴット1の固化率の関数としての引き上げ速度プログラムに対応する、固化率の関数としての炉内圧のプログラムを設定する。
<9>上記<8>にて設定した引き上げ速度プログラム、および、炉内圧プログラムを用いて引き上げ対象となるインゴット1の引き上げを実施する。
<10>こうして作成したインゴット1において、所望の抵抗率からのずれがあった場合には、このインゴット1を評価用インゴットとみなして、炉内圧を主操作パラメーターとし、Ar流量またはギャップGを微調整の操作パラメーターとして、より精度の高い圧力、Ar流量、ギャップに関する引き上げ時のプログラムを設定し、当該条件の下、インゴット1の引き上げを行う。
バッチ間制御方式に替えて、インサイチュ制御方式を用いることも好ましい。原理上、より確実にn型ドーパントの蒸発量を目標蒸発量の範囲内に維持するように制御できると考えられる。
上記製造方法の実施形態により、SbまたはAsをn型ドーパントとするシリコン単結晶インゴットであって、抵抗率が10Ω・cm以上1000Ω・cmの範囲内であり、結晶径が200mm以上であり、シリコン単結晶インゴットの結晶成長方向における、該シリコン単結晶インゴットの40%以上が、仕様抵抗率の±7%の範囲内にあることを特徴とするシリコン単結晶インゴットを製造することができる。パワーデバイスに供して好適な、結晶成長方向における抵抗率の公差の小さいn型で高抵抗のシリコン単結晶インゴットを実現することができる。ただし、抵抗率はインゴットの内、製品範囲外となるネック部、クラウン部およびテール部等を除外して直胴部のみの抵抗率を対象とする。
