  • Patent number: 12227874
    Abstract: Methods for determining suitability of Czochralski growth conditions to produce silicon substrates for epitaxy. The methods involve evaluating substrates sliced from ingots grown under different growth conditions (e.g., impurity profiles) by imaging the wafer by infrared depolarization.
