Abstract

Single crystal silicon for a substrate of semiconductor integrated circuits is disclosed. Cu, Fe, Ni and Cr are contained as impurities in a concentration smaller than 0.1 ppta, respectively, and the total content of the impurities is less than 0.4 ppta. Oxygen-induced stacking faults are reduced to an absolute minimum.
