Publication number: 20250101630Abstract: PURPOSE: To provide a method capable of detecting a large oxygen deposit existing in a silicon single crystal obtained by a CZ method with good sensitivity. CONSTITUTION: A silicon single crystal is subjected to heat treatment for 30 to 300 minutes at 900 to 1050 deg.C in a dry O2 atmosphere, then, is subjected to heat treatment for 30 to 200 minutes at 1100 to 1200 deg.C in a wet O2 atmosphere. After this crystal is treated with a dilute hydrofluoric acid and an oxide film on the surface of the crystal is removed, the crystal is dipped in a seco solution for 1 to 30 minutes to etch selectively the face <100> and lastly, the number of pieces of OSFs, which appear on the silicon single crystal surface, is found by an optical microscope. Accordingly, by this two-stage heat treatment, as a large oxygen deposit in the crystal is turned into the selective OSFs and the OSFs appear on the crystal surface, an inspection of the quality of the silicon single crystal can be carried out with high sensitivity.Type: ApplicationFiled: October 24, 2022Publication date: March 27, 2025Applicant: SHIN-ETSU CHEMICAL CO., LTD.Inventors: Yoshihiro KUBOTA, Makoto KAWAI
