Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A silicon wafer and fabrication method thereof are provided. The silicon wafer includes a first denuded zone formed with a predetermined depth from a top surface of the silicon wafer, the first denuded zone being formed with a depth ranging from approximately 20 μm to approximately 80 μm from the top surface, and a bulk area formed between the first denuded zone and a backside of the silicon wafer, the bulk area having a concentration of oxygen uniformly distributed within a variation of 10% over the bulk area.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A silicon wafer, comprising: a first denuded zone formed with a depth ranging from approximately 20 μm to approximately 80 μm from a top surface of the silicon wafer; and a bulk area formed between the first denuded zone and a backside of the silicon wafer, the bulk area having a concentration of oxygen within a range from approximately 10.5 to approximately 13 ppma (parts per million atom) uniformly distributed within a variation of 10% over the bulk area…
