Czochralski silicon crystals were decorated with Cu and characterized by
transmission electron microscopy (TEM) with energy-dispersive spectroscopy
(EDS), atomic force microscopy (AFM), optical microscopy (OM), scanning
electron microscopy (SEM), and photoluminescence spectroscopy (PL). The
vacancy-type core, oxidation-induced stacking faults (OISF) ring, nearly
defect-free ring, and self-interstitial-type rich outer ring were delineated in
the Si crystal wafer. At the surface of the Si crystal, vertical-horizontal
line (V-H line) defects and windmill defects (W-defects) were formed instead of
OISF. The families of growth planes and directions were expressed as {011} and
<110> for the V-H line and {010} and <010> for W-defects,
respectively. In addition to V-H line
defects and W-defects, pits or voids and Si oxide with dissolved Cu were found
in the Si crystal wafer.
