ABSTRACT:
A wafer processing method for improving gettering capabilities of wafers made therefrom is presented. The method includes the steps of preparing, annealing and ion-implanting. The preparing step involves preparing the wafer from a silicon ingot. The annealing step involves forming first gettering sites in both sides of the wafer by annealing the wafer. The ion-implanting step involves forming second gettering sites in a back side of the wafer in which the first gettering sites are already formed.
