Abstract
There is provided a manufacturing process for a CZ silicon single crystal wafer which is subjected to heat treatment wherein slip resistance of a portion of the CZ silicon single crystal wafer in contact with a heat treatment boat is improved with extreme simplicity, convenience and very low cost. A silicon single crystal rod is grown by means of a Czochralski method in a condition that an OSF ring region is formed in a peripheral region of the silicon single crystal rod and the grown silicon signal crystal rod is processed into silicon single crystal wafers, whereby the silicon single crystal wafer is obtained such that when the silicon single crystal wafer is subjected to heat treatment, at least a portion of the silicon single crystal wafer in contact between the wafer and the boat is formed of an OSF ring region.
