Oxygen precipitation (OP) behaviors in conventional and nitrogen co-doped heavily arsenic-doped Czocharalski silicon crystals subjected to low-high two-step anneals of 650 oC/8 h + 1000 oC/4-256 h have been comparatively investigated. Due to the nitrogen enhanced nucleation of OP during the low temperature anneal, much higher density of oxygen precipitates generated in the nitrogen co-doped specimens. With the extension of high temperature anneal, Oswald ripening of OP in the nitrogen co-doped specimens preceded that in the conventional ones. Moreover, due to the Oswald ripening effect, the oxygen precipitates in the conventional specimens became larger with a wider range of sizes. While, the sizes of oxygen precipitates in the nitrogen co-doped specimens distributed in a much narrower range with respect to the conventional ones.

AbstractWe studied oxygen precipitation in quenched Czochralski silicon crystals. The larger the cooling rate and the higher the quenching temperature, the more oxygen precipitated. The defects enhancing oxygen precipitation are eliminated by annealing above 900°C. The defects are formed and removed repeatedly by quenching and slow cooling. We think that the aggregation of vacancies is related to those defects.
