Abstract
(EN)
Methods for forming single crystal silicon ingots with improved resistivity control are disclosed. The methods involve growth of a sample rod. The sample rod may have a diameter less than the diameter of the product ingot. The sample rod is cropped to form a center slab. The resistivity of the center slab may be measured directly such as by a four-point probe. The sample rod or optionally the center slab may be annealed in a thermal donor kill cycle prior to measuring the resistivity, and the annealed rod or slab is irradiated with light in order to enhance the relaxation rate and enable more rapid resistivity measurement.

L’invention concerne des procédés de formation de lingots de silicium monocristallin présentant un meilleur contrôle de la résistivité. Les procédés impliquent la croissance d'une tige échantillon. La tige échantillon peut avoir un diamètre inférieur au diamètre du lingot de produit. La tige échantillon est rognée pour former une dalle centrale. La résistivité de la dalle centrale peut être mesurée directement, par exemple par une sonde à quatre points. La tige échantillon ou éventuellement la dalle centrale peut être recuite dans un cycle de destruction de donneur thermique avant la mesure de la résistivité, et la tige ou dalle recuite est irradiée avec de la lumière afin d'améliorer le taux de relaxation et permettre une mesure de résistivité plus rapide.
