A single crystal silicon wafer is sliced off so as to have a slant surface that is inclined from plane (001) such that the normal of the slant surface is inclined by 0.01° to 0.2° from direction [001] toward direction [110]. After being cleaned, the silicon wafer is heat-treated at 600-1, 300°C for not less than 1 minute in an ultrapure argon or hydrogen atmosphere containing nitrogen at not more than 0.1 ppm, to thereby cause the slant surface to have a stepped crystal surface structure. The stepped crystal surface structure is constituted of step walls Sa and Sb when it has been formed by a heat treatment in an argon atmosphere, and substantially all of its step walls are of a type Sb when it has been formed by a heat treatment in a hydrogen atmosphere.
