Popis: We investigated the effect of D-defect in CZ silicon single crystals on the oxygen precipitation by two-step thermal treatments consisting of the first annealing in nitrogen ambient at 1073K and the second annealing in dry oxygen ambient at 1273K. The density of D-defect was measured by counting ‘flow patterns’ using an optical microscope after preferential etching in Secco's solution for 30 minutes. It was found that the amount of oxygen precipitation along the growth axis was not affected by D-defect. The predominant factor of the oxygen precipitation after the two-step thermal process is the nuclei of oxygen precipitation generated around 723K during CZ crystal growth.
