摘要
Characteristics of oxygen precipitation in Czochralski-grown silicon (CZ-Si) intentionally contaminated with Cu or Fe are investigated by means of Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), transmission electron micros copy (TEM), electron-beam-induced-current (EBIC) mapping and etch pit observation. It is found that oxygen precipitation is not influenced by the presence of Cu impurities, while it is enhanced significantly by the presence of Fe impurities even if the concentration of Fe is much lower than that of Cu. Precipitations of supersaturated Cu and O impurities are found to proceed independently of each other in Si crystals. Oxygen precipitates in an Fe-contaminated specimen are much denser and smaller than those in a noncontaminated specimen. Fe impurities seem to react with minute Si oxide particles which are present in as-grown CZ-Si crystals and reduce the nucleation barrier for oxygen precipitation.
