  • Patent number: 11898266
    Abstract: The disclosure provides a method for growing a gallium oxide single crystal by casting and a semiconductor device containing the gallium oxide single crystal. The method includes: 1) heating a solid gallium oxide to complete melting, cooling to a melting point of the gallium oxide, and maintaining a melt state for at least 30 min; and 2) conducting gradient cooling on a gallium oxide melt obtained in step 1) until a solid gallium oxide single crystal is obtained. The gradient cooling is to cool the gallium oxide melt obtained in step 1) to a first temperature according to a first gradient, and then continue cooling to a room temperature according to a second gradient to obtain the gallium oxide single crystal. In step 1), since the solid gallium oxide is heated to the first temperature, oxygen with a volume fraction of at least 2% is present in a growth atmosphere.

  • Patent number: 8466043
    Abstract: An internal gettering process for a Czochralski silicon wafers comprises: (1) heating a Cz silicon wafer to 1200-1250° C. at a heating rate of 50-100° C./s under a nitrogen atmosphere, maintaining for 30-150 seconds, cooling the Cz silicon wafer to 800-1000° C. first at a cooling rate of 5-50° C./s, and then cooling the Cz silicon wafer naturally; (2) annealing the Cz silicon wafer obtained in the step (1) at 800-900° C. under an argon atmosphere for a period of 8-16 hours. The present invention only involves two heat treatment steps which require lower temperature and shorter time comparing to the conventional processes. The density of the bulk microdefects and the width of the denuded zone can be easily controlled by the temperature, duration and cooling rate of rapid thermal processing in the first step.
