Description

A kind of boiler tube cleaning method
Technical field
The present invention relates to microelectronic, relate in particular to a kind of boiler tube cleaning method.
Background technology
Along with chip fabrication techniques development, semiconductor silicon chip size is increasing, technology requirement is more and more stricter, and the effect of boiler tube periodic cleaning is had higher requirement.Simple boiler tube cleans and can not meet actual production application, particularly metallic pollution is had the device products of requirements at the higher level.Conventionally chip manufacturing will be passed through the process repeatedly such as cleaning, diffusion technique, injection technology, photoetching process, etching technics, carrying out repeatedly after film forming, residue metal ion and high molecular polymer remnants in boiler tube are cumulative, if irregularly removed, metallic pollution and particle source be may form, thereby technique yield and product stability affected.
In boiler tube, requisite parts have quartz ampoule (quarz tube) and brilliant boat (boat).Conventionally the material of quartz ampoule is quartz, and brilliant boat material has two kinds of quartz or SiC.Table 1 is the tenor of the brilliant boat of parts SiC and quartz ampoule in boiler tube.
Table 1
? Na K AL Fe Cu Mg Ca
The brilliant boat of SiC (ppm) 1.0 1.0 15.0 10.0 1.0 1.0 2.0
Quartz ampoule (ppm) 0.5 1.0 25.0 1.0 0.5 1.0 2.0
Wherein, ppm represents solution concentration.
Metallic pollution has the impact of semiconductor devices: metal impurities are easily at Si-SiO 2interface formation is built up, and affects gate oxide integrity (Gate Oxide Integrity is called for short GOI), reduces oxide breakdown voltage (Oxide breakdown voltage is called for short BV-OX), device is formed and leak (Leakage).Particularly beavy metal impurity is particularly responsive to metal impurities for CMOS analog sensor (CMOS Imagine Sensor is called for short CIS) product, easily produces dark current (Dark current is called for short DC), causes white-spot defects (White Spot Defect).
Metal ion under hot conditions has higher diffusion coefficient in silicon and silica, so after the long-time high-temperature operation of boiler tube, current technique causes that the metallic pollution that (parts of quartz or carborundum) metallic pollution or previous process are brought into is easily diffused into silicon chip inside, be difficult to remove by cleaning, thereby form permanent defect.So boiler tube board must carry out regular cleaning.
Traditional boiler tube ablution has:
N2 cleans, and under high temperature, N2 can remove granule and the organic matter remnants in boiler tube, but can not remove metal ion;
Chlorion cleans, and usually adopt the Cl in dichloroethylene (Trans-LC, TCA) or HCl to remove residual metal ion, but due to environmental protection and security consideration, TCA and HCl is slowly eliminated;
At present the most frequently used is that dichloroethylene (Trans-LC) cleans, and Trans-LC is a kind of liquid, and Trans-LC is carried and enters boiler tube by nitrogen, under high temperature, generates HCl with oxygen reaction, and HCl plays the effect that purifies boiler tube.Chemical reaction equation is:
C2H2Cl2+O2→2HCl+2CO2
At 800～1100 degree, boiler tube is carried out to Trans-LC about 1 hour and clean, can effectively get rid of the alkali metal ions such as Na/K and organic matter.But at high temperature HCl easily takes the trace of Al/Fe/Cu/Ca in boiler tube parts out of simultaneously, and HCl can not remove heavy metals such as Al/Fe/Cu/Ca, easily forms Heavy Metal Accumulation.Cleaning itself easily has the remnants of Trans-LC or HCl, and these remnants cause bad impact to follow-up technique, such as HCL remnants make oxidated layer thickness thickening, causes technique shakiness.
Chinese patent (CN103372559A) discloses a kind of boiler tube cleaning method, comprises the steps: boiler tube to heat up; In boiler tube, pass into dichloroethylene to remove movable metal ion; In boiler tube, pass into oxygen to remove residual dichloroethylene.
This patent is removed the residual of dichloroethylene by pass into oxygen after dichloroethylene purges, and makes boiler tube can carry out immediately next step production after quality control, does not worry the residual problem of bringing of dichloroethylene.But do not solve Heavy Metal Accumulation, and because producing the remaining problem that affects subsequent technique shakiness of Trans-LC or HCl.
Chinese patent (CN101327487B) discloses a kind of cleaning method and system of boiler tube, and nitrogen is passed into cleaning agent groove, utilizes nitrogen to carry described cleaning agent and passes into described boiler tube through a pipeline, and described boiler tube is cleaned; To after hydrogen and oxygen mix generation water vapour, by boiler tube, described boiler tube be cleaned.
The boiler tube cleaning method of this patent can be removed metal and the nonmetallic inclusion deposit of boiler tube inside in semiconductor oxide boiler tube equipment effectively.But do not solve Heavy Metal Accumulation, and because producing the remaining problem that affects subsequent technique shakiness of Trans-LC or HCl.
Summary of the invention
