Abstract
A wide precipitate-free-zone (PFZ) is formed at the surface of a semiconductor substrate and at the same time a high density of oxygen precipitate particles are produced beneath at the surface PFZ by a two step annealing process involving a first cycle of very rapidly heating the wafers to a first high temperature and a second cycle of very slowly heating the wafers to a second high temperature.
