Abstract

See full text

The present invention can provide a silicon semiconductor substrate used for and epitaxial wafer, in which uniform and high-level gettering ability is obtained irrespective of slicing positions from a silicon single crystal while generation of epitaxial defects can be suppressed, by doping carbon or carbon along with nitrogen during a pulling process of a CZ method or by performing appropriate heat treatment prior to the epitaxial process. Therefore, a crystal production yield can remarkably be improved because a permissible upper limit (concentration margin) of an oxygen concentration which is restricted by formation of a ring-shaped OSF region can be higher and also an excellent gettering ability is exhibited, while allowing an epitaxial wafer to be produced wherein epitaxial defects attributable to substrate crystal defects are not formed.
