  • Publication number: 20250129512
    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. An infrared depolarization parameter is generated for each epitaxial wafer. The parameters may be compared to determine which growth conditions are well-suited to produce substrates for epitaxial and/or post-epi heat treatments.

  • Publication number: 20250129106
    Abstract: The present invention discloses the use of a chlorine-free catalyst in the preparation of diisopropylaminosilane. The chlorine-free catalyst comprises calcium bis(hexamethyldisilazide) and/or strontium bis(hexamethyldisilazide) and diisopropylaminosilane is prepared by a dehydrogenative coupling reaction of monosilane with diisopropylamine catalyzed by a chlorine-free catalyst. The present invention uses a low-cost chlorine-free compound, calcium bis(hexamethyldisilazide) and/or strontium bis(hexamethyldisilazide), as a new catalyst to prepare diisopropylaminosilane, which can effectively catalyze the dehydrogenative coupling reaction of monosilane and diisopropylamine to synthesize diisopropylaminosilane in one step in a yield of 40-65% for diisopropylaminosilane.
