Zusammenfassung:An enhanced n+ silicon material for epitaxial substrates and a method for producing it are described. The enhanced material leads to improved gettering characteristics of n/n+ epitaxial wafers based on these substrates. The method for preparing such n+ silicon material includes applying a co-doping of carbon to the usual n dopant in the silicon melt, before growing respective CZ crystals. This improves yield of enhanced n+ silicon material in crystal growing and ultimately leads to device yield stabilization or improvement when such n/n+ epitaxial wafers are applied in device manufacturing.
