Embodiment
In the prior art, when employing comprises the chemical drying method etching machine etched wafer of quartz glass tube, the general any reduction of etch-rate, and the phenomenon of wafer loss, quartz glass tracheal rupture takes place easily.
In the face of above-mentioned defective, the inventor is through discovering: with reference to shown in Figure 1, the surface of quartz glass tube 1 and inside exist great amount of hydroxy group free radical (free hydroxyl radical, OH
-) 2, described hydroxyl radical free radical 2 forms at least in the following manner: protective gas hydrogen and SiO when forming quartz glass
2Reaction; Water and the SiO of the parcel body weight of quartzy mineral
2Reaction; Come from quartzy and silica raw ore.In addition, when hydroxyl radical free radical 2 quantity of quartz glass tube 1 inner a certain position are too many, also can in quartz glass tube 1, gather and be bubble (bubble) 3.
The inventor finds after further research: quartz glass tube 1 is as the important component part of CDE equipment, and before using, hydroxyl radical free radical 2 wherein is inevitable.When employing comprises that the quartz glass tube 1 of great amount of hydroxy group free radical 2 carries out etching, under the effect of microwave and high temperature (greater than 45 ℃), can produce following two defectives:
The first, hydroxyl radical free radical 2 can with plasma in free radical react, thereby make etch-rate the decline of rule occur having no, even the risk of wafer loss can appear;
The second, be accumulated in the phenomenon that the bubble 3 in the quartz glass tube 1 can cause quartz glass tube 1 to break.
Before the inventor carries out above-mentioned research, those skilled in the art also do not know reason that etch-rate decline, wafer loss or quartz glass tube 1 break and the relation between the hydroxyl radical free radical 2, therefore namely ignore 2 pairs of etched influences of hydroxyl radical free radical in the quartz glass tube 1, also never taked any measure will reduce or eliminate hydroxyl radical free radical 2 in the quartz glass tube 1.
On the basis of above-mentioned research, the inventor is through further discovering: can be before using CDE equipment, earlier wherein quartz glass tube is carried out deshydroxy and handle, thereby reduce or eliminate hydroxyl radical free radical in the quartz glass tube as far as possible, remove bubble wherein.Finally after deshydroxy was handled, etch-rate can be stabilized in a numerical value all the time, and quartz glass tube never breaks, and the yield of wafer also significantly improves.
