Notes:
Changes in size and shape of oxygen precipitates in Czochralski silicon after high-temperature annealing in an Ar atmosphere were observed using a transmission electron microscopy. The oxide precipitates introduced by 750 °C after 4 h annealing in an Ar atmosphere had their corners rounded off by thermal annealing at 1200 °C, and disappeared by 1300 °C although we observed no change in shape at 1050 °C. © 1999 American Institute of Physics.
