Abstract

A new-type silicon material is produced by hydrogen ion implantation and subsequent annealing, the annealing being preferably in two steps. The present invention raises surface mobility of a silicon wafer and produces a buried high-resistivity layer beneath a silicon surface layer. The resulting products are particularly useful for the improvement of yield and speed and radiation hardness of very large scale integrated circuits.
