It is found that the bulk defects can effectively getter nickel atoms once the MDZ forms. However,if the silicon sample is initially contaminated with nickel, the MDZ cannot form during the subsequent RTP,and a high density of precipitates occurs near the surface. In conventional IG processes,the DZ can form regardless of the nickel contamination sequence. Based on the facts,we propose that the formation of nickel silicide (Ni3Si) at the surface keeps the concentration of vacancies in the near-surface zone still higher than the critical concentration for oxygen precipitation under the subsequent RTP, which prevents MDZ formation.展开更多
