Abstract:
An embodiment provides a method of predicting a thickness of an oxide layer of a silicon wafer including: aging a heat treatment furnace (furnace); measuring a thickness of each of the oxide layers after disposing a plurality of reference wafers in slots of a heat treatment boat in the furnace and forming oxide layers; and measuring a thickness of each of the oxide layers after disposing the plurality of reference wafers and test wafers in the slots of the heat treatment boat in the furnace and forming oxide layers.

Claim (Index 12):
The method of  claim 11 , wherein the test wafers include a first group and a second group that are different from each other in pretreatment before the forming of the oxide layer, and the test wafers of the first group and the second group have different haze numbers or surface roughness.
