Oxygen precipitation (OP) behaviors were investigated for Czochralski (Cz) silicon wafers, which were coated with silicon nitride (SiNx) films or not, subjected to two-step anneal of 800C/4 h+1000°C/16 h following rapid thermal processing (RTP) at different temperatures ranging from 1150 to 1250C for 50 s. It was found that OP in the Cz silicon wafers coated with SiNx films was stronger in each case. This was because that nitrogen atoms diffused into bulk of Cz silicon wafer from the surface coated SiNx film during the high temperature RTP. Furthermore, it was proved that the RTP lamp irradiation facilitated the in-diffusion of nitrogen atoms, which was most likely due to that the ultraviolet light enhanced the breakage of silicon-nitrogen bonds.

Critical Resolved Shear Stress

Effects of prior rapid thermal processing (RTP) under different atmospheres on the motion of dislocations initiated from indentations in Czochralski (CZ) silicon have been investigated. It is found that the maximum gliding distances of dislocations in the specimens with the prior RTP under nitrogen (N2) atmosphere are much smaller than those in the specimens with the prior RTP under argon (Ar) atmosphere. This is also the case when the specimens received annealing for oxygen precipitation (OP) subsequent to the RTP at 1250 °C under N2 and Ar atmospheres, respectively. It is believed that the nitrogen atoms introduced during the RTP under nitrogen atmosphere or the oxygen precipitates facilitated by the RTP-introduced nitrogen atoms can exhibit pinning effect on the dislocation motion, which increases the critical resolved shear stress for dislocation glide.
