A kind of monotectic is to the processing method of seed crystal
Technical field
The invention belongs to semiconductor silicon single crystal growth field, particularly a kind of silicon single crystal monotectic is to the preparation method of seed crystal, can realize that accurate crystal orientation departs from, satisfy epitaxial substrate silicon chip etc. and monotectic is arranged to the silicon chip production and processing demand that requires, can reduce the production loss, improve piece rate, reduce processing capacity.
Background technology
For semi-conductor silicon chip, prolong living degree according to manufacturing procedure before the difference of Surface Machining mode and the element manufacturing and can be divided into cutting blade, abrasive sheet, polished silicon wafer, epitaxial wafer etc.Distinguish according to the crystal orientation mainly contain<111,<100,<110〉crystal orientation, wherein again with<111 〉,<100〉crystal orientation the most common.Because device making technics or chip technology require different can departing from the crystal orientation of silicon chip different requirements is arranged, can be divided into again positive crystal orientation silicon chip and monotectic to silicon chip according to this requirement.Monotectic generally has to silicon chip and departs from 2.5 ° and 4 ° two kinds, and it is different that both Main Differences are that thereafter the road adds the man-hour epitaxy technique.
Silicon monocrystal growth belong to the two-dimensional stepped growth mechanism, the crystal orientation of crystal determines by the seed crystal crystal orientation, the crystal orientation of<111〉the seeded growth crystal that obtain is exactly<111〉crystal orientation.For common silicon chip, be positive crystal orientation without generally requiring the crystal orientation in the specific (special) requirements situation.At present crystal growth all adopts positive crystal orientation seed crystal to carry out the crystal growth.In order to obtain monotectic to silicon chip, the monocrystal rod in positive crystal orientation need to be departed from original crystal orientation cutting and can obtain monotectic to silicon chip.The deviation distance of crystal bar and departure degree are by crystal orientation degree of bias size and boule length decision, and the crystal orientation degree of bias requires larger, and crystal bar departs from larger; Crystal bar is longer, and the crystal bar deviation distance is larger.
At present general cutting all adopts multi-line cutting process to carry out the monocrystal rod cutting, multi-wire saw equipment cutting monotectic requires crystal bar according to specifying the crystal orientation degree of bias to glue on anchor clamps to silicon chip, and be mounted on the multi-wire saw equipment, multi-wire saw equipment belongs to precise machining equipment, limited space in the processing storehouse, if crystal bar departs from excessive, can cause crystal bar to exceed processing storehouse horizontal width scope, descend along with crystal bar in the multi-wire saw process, crystal bar will touch processing edge, storehouse, cause and seriously fall sheet, the production accidents such as broken string.In the large situation of the crystal orientation degree of bias in addition can cause crystal bar directly with the sand spraying gear for multi touching, can't realize cutting.
The crystal orientation is departed from conference and is caused the crystal bar two ends a large amount of imperfect silicon chips to occur during simultaneously monocrystalline crystal bar cutting, can't utilize, and has increased the crystal bar loss, and the piece rate that greatly reduces affects production efficiency and cost.
In addition, the situation cutting successful silicon chip larger for the crystal orientation degree of bias belongs to typically " elliptical piece ", there is certain difficulty of processing in this silicon chip in conventional chamfer machining process, because silicon chip is shaped as ellipse, be difficult to realize accurate centering, exist the edge to go thick amount inconsistent in the chamfer process, when serious even can't realize chamfering.If the silicon chip that does not need to carry out chamfering also can because of silicon chip shape " ellipticalness " in rear road device process, be introduced various processing unusual, such as problems such as litho pattern skews.
Patent CN 101537666A " processing method of seed crystal with big drift angle " mainly describes a kind of GaAs and uses to get the seed crystal with big drift angle processing method, the method is suitable for the large deflection angle degree, wherein relate to<drift angle, 111〉face crystal orientation is 13~22 °, be difficult to realize accurate control, and the method is suitable for arsenide gallium monocrystal, arsenide gallium monocrystal is compound element monocrystalline, upwards certain difference is still arranged with silicon single crystal single-element monocrystalline at crystal, can't be suitable for.
