T. Piotrowski et W. Jung, Influence of intrinsic stresses on crystallographic defects distribution in Cz-Si wafers, MAT SCI E A, 288(2), 2000, pp. 200-204
The influence of intrinsic stress in silicon wafers during the Czochralski
crystal growth process and during technological processing of semiconductor
devices on defect distribution and yield was investigated. The determinati
on method of intrinsic defect distribution by applying subtle flatness meas
urements (GFLT parameter) is proposed. Results of measurements are compared
with calculated stress distributions. Defect density distributions measure
d on wafers subjected to technological processes are related to intrinsic s
tress distributions and electrical parameters of semiconductor devices. (C)
