摘要:
A wafer support pin has a front end contacted with a wafer such that the front end is flat or rounded. Thus, gravitational stress is minimized during annealing the wafer, thereby minimizing slip dislocation. This wafer support pin is suitably used for annealing of a wafer, particularly high temperature rapid thermal annealing of a large-diameter wafer.

摘要:
A method for making a silicon wafer includes the steps of generating and stabilizing embryos that become oxygen precipitates by succeeding thermal annealing applied during a semiconductor device manufacturing process. In the silicon wafer, embryos are substantially removed in a denuded zone, and embryos are distributed at a relatively higher concentration in a bulk region. Also, by controlling behaviors of embryos, a silicon wafer having a desired concentration profile of oxygen precipitates by succeeding thermal annealing is manufactured with high reliability and reproducibility.
