In order to investigate the performance of silicon single crystal depended on the annealing temperature, the minority carrier lifetime, the resistivity and oxygen concentration after different temperature annealing in Ar ambient were examined. And the effect of oxygen and related defects formed during annealed on the minority carrier lifetime were analyzed by microwave photoconductivity method, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and four-probe measurement. The results indicate that after 450°C annealing for 30h, the resistivity and minority carrier lifetime of silicon increase significantly, while the concentration of interstitial oxygen decreases. After the annealing at 650°C, oxygen donor can be removed and the resistivity and the minority carrier lifetime decrease. During the high-temperature (above 650°C) annealing, the oxygen precipitation can decrease the minority carrier lifetime silicon.

Silicon produced for the microelectronics industry is far and away the purest and most perfect crystalline material manufactured today. It is fabricated routinely and in very large volumes. Many of the advances in integrated-circuit (IC) manufacturing achieved in recent years would not have been possible without parallel advances in silicon-crystal quality and defect engineering. Transition-metal contamination is a case in point. Essentially all practical problems (minority carrier lifetime, metal precipitation, stacking faults, etc.) associated with metal contaminants have largely been solved through advances in crystal purity.
