摘要 |
The invention relates to a semiconductor wafer of monocrystalline silicon, and to a method for producing it. The semiconductor wafer has a zone, DZ, which is free of BMD defects and extends from a front side of the semiconductor wafer into the bulk of the semiconductor wafer, and a region having BMD defects which extends from the DZ further into the bulk of the semiconductor wafer. A silicon single crystal is pulled by the Czochralski method and processed to form a polished monocrystalline silicon substrate wafer. The substrate wafer is treated by rapidly heating and cooling the substrate wafer, slowly heating the rapidly heated and cooled substrate wafer, and keeping the substrate wafer at a specific temperature and over a specific period. |
