Specific embodiment
In order to make the foregoing objectives, features and advantages of the present invention clearer and more comprehensible, with reference to the accompanying drawing to the present invention Specific embodiment be described in detail.
In the present embodiment, the wafer 100 refers mainly to the semiconductor substrate for not carrying out photoetching process.To above-mentioned wafer 100 carry out first time electronics beam scanning, which is conventional Defect Scanning, i.e., are for detecting on wafer 100 No existing defects.
Referring to figure 3., after first time electronics beam scanning, 100 surface of wafer is often made to produce residual charge 200, the presence meeting of the residual charge 200 so that it is subsequent carry out photoetching process on wafer 100 after, between photoresist and wafer 100 Binding force be deteriorated so that photoresist peel off or deformation.
The method provided in this embodiment for eliminating defect caused by electronics beam scanning, specifically includes the following steps:
Step 1: second of electron beam is carried out to the wafer 100 for successively carrying out first time electron beam scanning process Scanning process, the electron beam potential and the first time electron beam scanning process used in second of electron beam scanning process The electron beam opposite in potential of middle use, the electron beam potential used in so-called scanning process refer to: the electricity that electronics beam scanning uses Lotus is all negative electrical charge, but the selection of scan pattern is different, and it is then negative electricity that the charge for causing crystal column surface to escape, which is more than incident charge, Gesture scan pattern, or on the contrary, evolution is less than incident charge, then be positive potential scan mode, for example first time electron beam is swept It retouches technique and uses negative potential sweep mode, then second of electron beam scanning process uses positive potential scan pattern, if first Secondary electron beam scanning process uses positive potential scan pattern, then second of electron beam scanning process uses negative potential sweep mould Formula;
Step 2: the wafer 100 that step 1 is formed is rested in vacuum cavity, and the atmospheric pressure of vacuum cavity is 0.5 A atmospheric pressure, in 0.5~2 times that the time that vacuum cavity is stood is the first time electron beam scanning process time;
Step 3: the cleaning process and/or heat treatment process of solion 300 are carried out to the wafer 100 that step 2 is formed.
Specifically, please continue to refer to Fig. 3 and Fig. 4, there is the wafer of residual charge 200 using solion 300 to surface 100 are cleaned, and solion 300 includes sufficient positive and negative ion, such as NH4The aqueous solution or HCL aqueous solution of OH or H2SO4Aqueous solution, wherein the concentration range of solion is 0.5wt%~10wt%.
Referring to figure 5., when carrying out heat treatment process to wafer, heat treatment temperature is between 100 DEG C~800 DEG C, when continuing Between in 60s~1200s, after wafer 100 is heated, electronics in the material in wafer 100 is mobile active, so that with missing electricity The substance of son forms the substance of neutral charge after attracting free electronics, and has in the substance of excess electron, extra electronics It leaves the substance and also forms neutral charge, most of the material on 100 surface of wafer reverts to neutral charge since then, to make crystalline substance The metastable structure of 100 surface molecule structures of circle is restored to stable state.
It can be arranged in pairs or groups use using 300 cleaning process of solion and heat treatment process, it sequentially can be in any permutation.
It is above-mentioned by carried out surface treatment after wafer 100 on carry out photoetching process, it is possible to reduce photoresist peel off or The probability of deformation, and above-mentioned simple process are time saving and energy saving.
Above-described embodiment is described in the present invention, but the present invention is not limited only to above-described embodiment.Obvious this field Technical staff can carry out various modification and variations without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention to invention.If in this way, this hair These bright modifications and variations within the scope of the claims of the present invention and its equivalent technology, then the invention is also intended to include Including these modification and variations.
