To expediently and quantitatively estimate Cu within a silicon substrate without fully dissolving the silicon substrate and to ascertain the process contamination, there is provided a method for quantitatively determining the Cu concentration in a Cu containing silicon substrate having obverse and converse surfaces, the silicon substrate contains at least 3x1018 atoms/cm3 of boron and is heated at a temperature of no more than 600° C., the improvement comprises heating the converse surface of the substrate at a temperature between 300° C. to 350° C. for a period of 1 to 12 hours and then quantitatively analyze the Cu concentration at obverse and converse surfaces of the heated substrate.
