    Abstract: In an example, a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes providing a semiconductor substrate comprising an unpolished CZ silicon substrate, a substrate upper side, and a substrate lower side opposite to the substrate upper side. The method includes first annealing the semiconductor substrate at a first temperature in an inert environment for a first time. The method includes second annealing the semiconductor substrate at a second temperature in a wet oxidation environment for a second time. The first annealing dissolves inner wall oxide in bulk region voids and the second annealing fills the voids with semiconductor interstitials. In some examples, the CZ silicon substrate is provided from a CZ ingot grown in the presence of a magnetic field and using continuous counter-doping. The method provides, among other things, a CZ silicon substrate with reduced crystal originated particle (COP) defects, reduced oxygen concentration, and reduced radial resistivity variation.

    Abstract: 1,149,492. Lithium niobate. WESTERN ELECTRIC CO. Inc. 7 July, 1966 [12 July, 1965], No. 30535/66. Heading C1A. [Also in Division B1] A lithium niobate crystal is treated by passing an electrical current through at least a portion of it whilst this portion is maintained at a temperature of at least 1000‹ C. Alternatively, a lithium niobate crystal is grown by pulling from a melt and an electrical current is passed through the crystal and through the interface between the growing crystal and the melt. The current density is at least 0À1 ma/cm 2 . when treating the crystal alone and at least 0À5 ma/cm. 2 when using the melt. The treatment is said to influence the formation of magnetic domains in the crystal and a reversal of current during the treatment produces a second magnetic domain. The current may be reversed several times during the treatment to produce a series of domains.
