Abstract

Highly doped Czochralski silicon is used as substrate material for fabricating n/n+ and p/p+ epitaxial structures in integrated circuits (ICs). During the growth of highly doped Si by the Czochralski method, dislocations may occur. Dislocations are unwanted since they can lead to a polycrystalline structure. The aim of the work is to analyze the dislocation formation and evaluate characterization methods for highly doped silicon.
