Abstract

See full text

A silicon wafer and method for producing a silicon wafer, including at least: a first heat treatment process in which rapid heat treatment is performed on the wafer by using a rapid heating/cooling apparatus in an atmosphere containing at least one of nitride film formation atmospheric gas, rare gas, and oxidizing gas at a temperature higher than 1300° C. and lower than or equal to a silicon melting point for 1 to 60 seconds; and a second heat treatment process in which temperature and atmosphere are controlled to suppress generation of a defect caused by a vacancy in the wafer and rapid heat treatment is performed on the wafer. Therefore, RIE defects such as oxide precipitates, COPs, and OSFs are not present at a depth of at least 1 μm from the surface, which becomes a device fabrication region, and the lifetime is 500 μsec or longer.
