Abstract

As-received P/P + (100) epitaxial silicon wafers were heat treated using the one-, two-, and three-step internal gettering heat treatment cycles in wet oxygen, dry oxygen, and nitrogen ambients. The results indicate that ambients have an effect on the growth of bulk defects and denuded zone formation in the epitaxial silicon wafers.
