Popis: It is shown that interstitial oxygen infrared (IR) absorption at 515 cm−1 decreases anomalously compared with the absorption at 1106 cm−1 in heat‐treated Czochralski‐grown silicon wafers. This phenomenon is described by the close correlation between the absorption coefficient ratio αr (α1106/α515), the half‐bandwidth of the 1106‐cm−1 peak, and the precipitated oxygen content during heat treatments. As a result, it is suggested that on the basis of IR absorption spectrum data interstitital oxygen atoms distribute heterogeneously in a silicon matrix as the forestage of Si‐0 complex precipitation.
