Method of producing silicon single crystal ingot
Abstract:
A method of producing silicon single crystal ingot by pulling the silicon single crystal ingot made of an N-region by the CZ method, including: performing an EOSF inspection including a heat treatment to manifest oxide precipitates and selective etching on sample wafer from the silicon single crystal ingot composed of the N-region to measure a density of EOSF; performing a shallow-pit inspection to investigate a pattern of occurrence of a shallow pit; adjusting the pulling conditions according to result of identification of a defect region of the sample wafer by the EOSF and shallow-pit inspections to pull a next silicon single crystal ingot composed of the N-region, wherein in the identification of the defect region, for an N-region, what portion of an Nv-region or Ni-region the defect region corresponds to is also identified.
