<p>An epitaxial silicon wafer is produced with a resistivity in the area adjacent the edge that is greater or less than the resistivity adjacent the center. The wafer may be manufactured by a method wherein one or more process parameters are adjusted during deposition of epitaxial layer to control the edge resistivity. Such process parameters may include using a non-homogeneous temperature and/or a process reactant gas flow across the front surface of the wafer.</p> |
