Abstract
Czochralski pullers are modified to grow perfect monocrystalline silicon ingots that are free of vacancy agglomerates and interstitial agglomerates, by modifying components of the Czochralski puller to produce a temperature gradient at the ingot-melt interface that is greater than about 2.5 degrees Kelvin per millimeter at the ingot axis and is also at least about equal to the temperature gradient at a diffusion length from the cylindrical edge of the ingot. By producing a temperature gradient at the ingot-melt interface that is greater than about 2.5 degrees Kelvin per millimeter at the ingot axis and that is also at least about equal to the temperature gradient at a diffusion length from the diffusion edge, an ingot-melt interface that is planar or is convex relative to the silicon melt may be produced. The ingot so pulled is sliced into a plurality of pure silicon wafers that may include point defects but that are free of vacancy agglomerates and interstitial agglomerates.
