Abstract
In this paper, the effects of vacancies introduced by rapid thermal processing (RTP) on nucleation and growth of oxide precipitates in Czochralski (Cz) silicon are elucidated. Moreover, the nitrogen and vacancy enhancement roles in oxide precipitation are differentiated through designing specific annealing schemes. Furthermore, it is pointed out that the RTPβbased internal gettering process for a nitrogenβdoped Cz silicon wafer should be different from that for a conventional Cz silicon wafer in order to strengthen the intrinsic gettering capability.

The effect of rapid thermal process (RTP) on the oxygen precipitation and on the denuded zone (DZ) formation in nitrogen-doped Czochralski (NCZ) silicon wafers has been investigated. The DZ can be formed at the surface of NCZ wafers subjected to RTP annealing. However, the oxygen precipitation and b
## Abstract The formation of an oxygen precipitate denuded zone in nitrogenβdoped Czochralski (NCZ) silicon and conventional CZ silicon subjected to ramping anneals under Ar or O~2~ ambient has been investigated. It is revealed that the nitrogen doping is able to homogenize substantially the densit
