Problems solved by technology

[0005] In the above method of measuring the depth of the defect-free area, the silicon wafer needs to be split, and the section needs to be etched before the depth of the BMD defect can be observed. The sample preparation process is complicated, and the depth of the BMD defect requires manual counting and measurement. The measurement results have a large error

Abstract

The invention provides a method for measuring the depth of a defect-free region of a monocrystalline silicon wafer. The measurement method comprises the following steps: (1) carrying out a layering defect density test on a monocrystalline silicon wafer by using a photoluminescence imaging spectrometer to obtain a defect distribution image of each layer and a defect interval containing defects; and (2) carrying out further layered defect test on the defect interval obtained in the step (1), and determining the depth from the surface of the monocrystalline silicon wafer when the accumulated number of defects is M, so as to complete the measurement of the depth of the defect-free area of the monocrystalline silicon wafer. M is greater than or equal to 1, and M is an integer. The measurement method provided by the invention is simple, convenient and accurate, does not need to damage the monocrystalline silicon piece sample, and is easy to store the sample for repeated measurement.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of monocrystalline silicon semiconductor wafers, in particular to a method for measuring the depth of a defect-free region of a monocrystalline silicon wafer. Background technique [0002] Single crystal silicon, the starting material for most methods of manufacturing semiconductor electronic components, is usually prepared using the Czochralski (Cz) method. Tchaikovsky refers to placing a seed crystal (or "seed crystal") at the end of a precisely oriented rod, immersing the end in molten silicon, and then pulling the rod upwards slowly while performing Rotation, if the temperature gradient, pulling rate, and rotation rate of the rod are precisely controlled, then a larger, cylindrical single crystal ingot can be obtained at the end of the rod. The above process is usually carried out in an inert gas (such as argon) atmosphere, and a reaction chamber made of a relatively stable chemical material such as a c...
