NITROGEN-DOPED SILICON SUBSTANTIALLY FREE OF OXIDATION INDUCED STACKING FAULTS

摘要

The present invention relates to single crystal silicon, ingot or wafer form, which contains an axially symmetric region in which vacancies are the predominant intrinsic point defect, is substantially free of oxidation induced stacking faults and is nitrogen doped to stabilize oxygen precipitation nuclei therein, and a process for the preparation thereof.
