摘要
A process for removing a contaminant selected from among copper, nickel, and a combination thereof from a silicon wafer having a surface and an interior. The process comprises cooling the silicon wafer in a controlled atmosphere from a temperature at or above an oxidation initiation temperature and initiating a flow of an oxygen-containing atmosphere at said oxidation initiation temperature to create an oxidizing ambient around the silicon wafer surface to form an oxide layer on the silicon wafer surface and a strain layer at an interface between the oxide layer and the silicon wafer interior. The cooling of the wafer is also controlled to permit diffusion of atoms of the contaminant from the silicon wafer interior to the strain layer. Then the silicon wafer is then cleaned to remove the oxide layer and the strain layer, thereby removing said contaminant having diffused to the strain layer.
