Abstract

A method for manufacturing a silicon substrate, including: performing a rapid heat treatment to a silicon substrate with a rapid-heating and rapid-cooling apparatus by maintaining the silicon substrate at a temperature that is higher than 1300° C. and not greater than a silicon melting point for 1 to 60 seconds, the silicon substrate being sliced from a silicon single crystal ingot grown by the Czochralski method; performing a first temperature decrease process down to a temperature in the range of 600 to 800° C. at a temperature decrease rate of 5 to 150° C./sec; and performing a second temperature decrease process in such a manner that a cooling time of X seconds and a temperature decrease rate of Y° C./sec meet Y≦0.15X-4.5 when X<100 and meet Y≦10 when X≧100.
