Abstract:
1. A method for manufacturing a silicon single crystal wafer, the method comprising: subjecting a silicon single crystal wafer after slicing that is fabricated based on a Czochralski method and has an entire plane in a radial direction in plan view formed of a neutral region (N region) consisting of an interstitial silicon dominant region (Ni region) and a vacancies dominant region (Nv region) that are mixedly present to a rapid thermal annealing in an oxidizing atmosphere wherein the wafer is heated at a temperature in a range of from 900 to 1250° C. and maintaining for an amount of time in a range of from 10 to 30 seconds, and thereafter removing from the silicon single crystal wafer an oxide film formed in the rapid thermal annealing in the oxidizing atmosphere, and then subjecting the silicon single crystal wafer to a rapid thermal annealing in a nitriding atmosphere, an Ar atmosphere, or a mixture ofnitriding and Ar atmospheres˜wherein the wafer is heated at a temperature in a range of from 900 to 1250° C. and maintaining for an amount of time in a range of from 10 to 30 seconds.
