Abstract: A method for manufacturing a silicon single crystal substrate for use of an epitaxial layer growth. The method comprises the steps of: growing a CVD film on a rear surface and a peripheral side portion, of the silicon single crystal substrate; removing a portion of the CVD film on the peripheral side portion in the vicinity of a main surface of the silicon single crystal substrate, which was grown over an end of the peripheral side portion, by an abrasive tape grinding; and thereafter mirror-polishing the main surface of the silicon single crystal substrate.

Abstract: In a semiconductor single crystalline substrate provided with a protecting film to prevent autodoping on the reverse surface thereof, for growing a vapor-phase epitaxial layer on the main obverse surface thereof, a width of a chamfer is set for locating an edge-crown occurred in consequence of a vapor-phase epitaxial growth on the chamfer, and a gap of a distance is formed between a periphery of the protecting film and an innermost part of the chamfer on the reverse surface.
