Description

The method of wafer surface photoresistance edge removal
Technical field
What the present invention relates to is a kind of method of technical field of manufacturing semiconductors, particularly be a kind of method of wafer surface photoresistance edge removal.
Background technology
Development along with integrated circuit, dwindling of the increase of transistorized dense degree and critical size, the defect produced in photo-etching technological process is to yield of devices, and quality has important directly related impact, and wherein clean the and definition of edge of wafer starts to become more important.In photo-etching technological process, photoresistance is spin-coated on crystal column surface, and the accumulation of photoresistance is arranged in the upper and lower surface near the edge of wafer place; In follow-up etching or ion implantation technology process, these photoresistances that are deposited in edge of wafer probably come in contact collision with the mechanically actuated operation arm of wafer, thereby cause the generation of particle contamination.So, usually can carry out wafer surface photoresistance edge removal in photo-etching technological process to avoid the generation of the problems referred to above.
In prior art, the method for wafer surface photoresistance edge removal mainly is divided into: chemical trimming method (EBR, edge bead removal) and wafer edge exposure method (WEE, wafer edge expoSure).Chemistry trimming method is to utilize wafer in being coated with the photoresistance process, usually to crystal round fringes, sprays solvent to eliminate the crystal round fringes photoresistance.The shortcoming of the method is that the trimming time is long, the solvent consumables cost is high and photoresistance trimming irregularity, may cause wafer defect to affect process rate.The edge exposure method is to use the WEE apparatus platform after being coated with photoresistance and before exposure, that is: by wafer by vacuum suction to rotation platform, fix a set of uv-exposure camera lens and a diaphragm above crystal round fringes, the uv-exposure camera lens to produce the Uniform Illumination hot spot of a certain size size, then utilizes the rotation of rotating platform to realize wafer edge exposure through diaphragm.Compare chemical trimming method, the wafer edge exposure method has that production efficiency is high, installation cost is low, and process is easy to control and the regular advantage such as level and smooth of trimming shape.
As shown in Figure 1, because there is inhomogeneous problem in lens in light source, therefore the light of rims of the lens can scatter to non-trimming zone through diaphragm, cause actual trimming zone to be greater than and want the trimming zone, be finally to produce an inclined plane on residual photoresistance edge, make the surface irregularity of residual photoresistance.Inclined plane is in the situation that illumination can present colour (Rainbow Color), so this defect that the WEE method produces is called as rainbow (Rainbow) defect.The length of prior art diaphragm used in the trimming process mostly is 10mm, width is 4mm, and the width on the inclined plane therefore produced on residual photoresistance edge is about 200um.When on mask, the live width of pattern is greater than 90nm, described Rainbow defect can be ignored to the performance of semiconductor device.
But, development along with technology, the size of semiconductor device is more and more less, correspondingly, on mask, the size of pattern is also more and more less, when on mask, the live width of pattern is less than 90nm, the impact of Rainbow defect just highlights day by day, when there is pattern in the Rainbow defect area after especially follow-up development, due to the wafer at destroyed pattern place now, so the Rainbow defect area can make the pattern existed on it be destroyed, become imperfect or disappear fully, thereby have a strong impact on etching and the cleaning of back, the performance of the semiconductor device that final impact is prepared.
In order to address the above problem, prior art has proposed to add optical path adjustment device between light source and wafer, described optical path adjustment device comprises: chromium seam and collector lens group, the collector lens group is comprised of some collector lenses, the function that in this device, the chromium seam serves as diaphragm, light after the chromium seam is after collector lens group optically focused, when the light of light source emission arrives wafer, the light of scattering is just fewer, thereby the width of Rainbow defect area is smaller, improved the quality of crystal round fringes pattern, but the cost of optical path adjustment device is very high, be unfavorable for actual use.
Therefore, in semi-conductive manufacture process, need a kind of wafer surface photoresistance edge removal method that can reduce simply and effectively the width of Rainbow defect area.
