Abstract

R-OSF are known to appear in CZ silicon crystals, but their nuclei are not observable in the as-grown state, and as-such have been difficult to characterize. Using a crystal grown with modifications in its pulling rate, this paper used lifetime in particular, coupled with the OPP, to investigate as-grown OSF nuclei size and density distribution and to discuss further how R-OSF are formed and how their formation interacts with that of other defects. It was found that faster cooling in the temperature range where large voids are formed (1070°C-970°C), which resulted in a larger residual vacancy concentration, caused the OSF ring to become wider, and the OSF-nuclei to become larger than normal in this area, while fast cooling in the temperature range where OSF are formed (990°C-900°C) is thought to suppress their formation, which thus resulted in smaller OSF-nuclei
