For this purpose the opportunities of perfect layer formation during RTA have been analyzed in dislocation−free silicon wafers. The RTA application is based on an opportunity of effective influence on a distribution of oxygen precipitate density on wafer thickness by means of control of vacancies and interstitial atoms distributions. However the decision of this important task is connected with an occurrence of large local wafer stresses concentrated near fastening supports and a significant bend of large diameter Si wafers. Therefore in this project the mathematical modeling of three−dimension strain state and defect formation in large diameter Si wafer were investigated: the various ways of wafer fastening were analyzed and the opportunities of stresses reduction in Si wafers were determined. For the description of RTA defect formation the mathematical model taking into account of diffusion−recombination processes of vacancies and interstitial Si atoms, and also formation of vacancy clusters have been applied. On the basis of this model the time thermal RTA parameters were determinated: heating mode, hold time at the maximal temperature and cooling rate of wafer. They provide a formation of required perfect layer near wafer surface contained the corresponding vacancy concentration and cluster density on wafer thickness. The calculated results have been verified by authors of this project on test samples investigated by Light Microscopy (LM) and Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). Detailed LM and TEM researches of microdefect distributions and morphology have been carried out for the experimental Si wafers subjected to various RTA modes and multistage heat treatment in Belarusian plant «Integral».
