ABSTRACT:
A semiconductor apparatus has a silicon substrate sliced off from a silicon ingot produced by the pulling method or floating zone method, wherein the concentration of interstitial oxygen in a region with a depth of approximately 10 .mu.m or less from a device forming surface is minimum except for the device forming surface. According to the present invention, in the semiconductor apparatus production process, in the inner region with a depth of approximately 10 .mu.m from the device forming surface of the silicon substrate, the inner region affecting the device operation, oxygen does not precipitate. Moreover, in a more inner region, oxygen precipitates, thereby providing a gettering effect with respect to metal impurities.
