A silicon wafer, which has been doped with nitrogen and has been subjected to an extrinsic gettering (EG) treatment, for example, the formation of a polysilicon layer. In the silicon wafer, when the wafer is exposed to an ion of a heavy metal such as copper or nickel in a device manufacturing process, the copper and nickel can be captured by the action of intrinsic gettering (IG) in the course of a heat treatment, and, when a polysilicon layer is formed as a strain layer, iron and copper can be captured by the action of an extrinsic gettering (EG) using the polysilicon as a strong point for the capture.
