ABSTRACT:
A silicon wafer made by the Czochralski method, including a ring-shaped OSF region and having nitrogen concentration ranging from 2.9×1014to 5.0×1015atoms/cm3and oxygen concentration of 1.27×1018to 3.0×1018atoms/cm3is heat-treated in a reducing-gas or inert-gas atmosphere, by increasing the temperature at the rate of 0.5° C./min to 2.0° C./min until the wafer is heated to a heat-treatment temperature of 1000 to 1200° C.
