Abstract

Provided is a silicon wafer suitable for manufacturing a semiconductor device having a shallow junction. A silicon wafer wherein, in a region at a depth of less than 50 μm from a surface, a density of oxygen deposition materials each having a diameter of not less than 10 nm is not more than 1×10 8 /cm 3 . A silicon wafer for a semiconductor device, which is manufactured by applying heat treatment at a heat treatment temperature of not less than 1000° C. for heat treatment time of not more than 3 msec, wherein, in a region at a depth of less than 50 μm from a surface, a density of oxygen deposition materials each having a diameter of not less than 10 nm is not more than 1×10 8 /cm 3 .
