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.

ABSTRACTDuring melt-growth of macroscopically dislocation free bulk silicon crystals (floating-zone and Czochralski technique) microdefects can form due to the condensation of thermal point defects (self-interstitials, vacancies). The formation of these imperfections, generally referred to as “swirl defects”, is strongly affected by the growth conditions (e.g. the crystal pulling rate) and crystal purity. The various reported defect formation models will be discussed. Special attention will be paid to the effect of doping on swirl defect formation.
