Abstract

The slip lines introduced in Si wafers during rapid thermal processing (RTP) were revealed with focused reflectance microwave probe (RMP) method. The signal intensity of RMP which is related to optically injected excess carrier concentration decreases at slip lines. The region in which the signal intensity decreased is in good agreement with results of X-ray topography and theoretical analysis considering thermal stress caused by temperature drop at the wafer periphery during RTP. According these results, it is considered that carrier lifetime is decreased by slip dislocations which are effective recombination centers.
