It is carried out specifically below in conjunction with device and method of Fig. 1-Fig. 5 to iron content exception in detection wafer of the invention It is bright,
The device of iron content exception is refering to what is shown in Fig. 1, the device of iron content exception includes in detection wafer in detection wafer Wafer carrying platform 10, injection cavity 20, illumination cavity 30, heat treatment cavity 40 and minority carrier life time measure cavity 50.Wherein, brilliant Circle plummer 10 injects cavity 20 for placing wafer, for forming doped structure in crystal column surface, illumination cavity 30 for pair Wafer carries out lighting process, and heat treatment cavity 40 is for being heat-treated wafer, and minority carrier life time measurement cavity 50 is for testing The minority carrier life time of wafer.The present invention will be used for the functions such as ion implanting, heat treatment, measurement minority carrier life time, illumination in the prior art Board simplified, be combined, thus formed detection wafer in iron content exception device so that formed detection fill The volume set is smaller.Wherein, illumination, ion implanting, heat treatment, measure minority carrier life time device be those skilled in the art all may be used With understanding, for example, using halogen lamp, D in illumination cavity 302Other lamps such as lamp, xenon lamp, flash lamp are irradiated wafer, few It can be tested using existing based on the methods of photoconduction in sub- lifetime measurement cavity 50, this is public for those skilled in the art Know, therefore not to repeat here.In addition, the detection device of iron content exception further includes a manipulator 60 in wafer, for transmitting crystalline substance Circle.Also, wafer as needed can wafer carrying platform 10, injection cavity 20, illumination cavity 30, heat treatment cavity 40 and It is transmitted between each cavitys such as minority carrier life time measurement cavity 50 by manipulator 60, carries out a series of testing procedure, from And entire detection process is completed, realize the detection to iron content exception in wafer.
It should be noted that the general musec order of minority carrier life time for the wafer that minority carrier life time measurement cavity 50 detects, very To lower, for example, the precision degree that minority carrier life time measurement cavity 50 detects is 0.1 microsecond~1.0 microseconds.Also, few son of wafer The factors such as service life and the resistivity of wafer, the doping concentration of wafer, surface state are related, meanwhile, it can be to wafer to the environment of surrounding The factors such as surface state have an impact, therefore, during wafer is transmitted between different cavitys, it is not necessary to by wafer It is exposed in external environment, it is thus possible to guarantee going on smoothly for the measurement of wafer minority carrier life time.
The flow chart of the detection method of iron content exception below in conjunction with Fig. 3 a- refering to what is shown in Fig. 2, scheme in wafer of the invention The detection method of iron content exception in wafer is specifically described in 3d, Fig. 4 and Fig. 5.In the present embodiment, only give to The schematic diagram of structure in wafer is surveyed, the schematic diagram of each structure is similar with crystal circle structure to be measured in benchmark wafer, this is this field skill Therefore art personnel are not it should be understood that, repeat them here.The detection method of iron content exception specifically comprises the following steps: in wafer
It executes step S1 and provides benchmark wafer (not shown) and wafer to be measured 1 with reference to shown in Fig. 3 a, by based Quasi-crystals Round and wafer to be measured is placed in together in the wafer carrying platform 10 in detection wafer in the device of iron content exception.Then, by base Quasi-crystalline substance is round and wafer 1 to be measured is transmitted to together in injection cavity 20, as shown in figure 1 A process.In injection cavity 20, respectively in base Quasi-crystalline substance is round and 1 surface of wafer to be measured carries out ion doping process 3, forms the first doped layer (not shown) and the second doped layer 2, as shown in figure 3b.In the present invention, gallium doping carried out to the benchmark wafer and wafer to be measured 1, i.e. the first doped layer and Second doped layer 2 is undoped algan layer, also, the concentration for carrying out gallium doping is 1014cm-3~1017cm-3.In the present embodiment, Gallium doping can be carried out on the surface of benchmark wafer and wafer to be measured 1 using ion implanting.It should be noted that can also use Chemical vapor deposition process deposits the second doped layer 2 of the first doped layer in benchmark wafer and wafer to be measured 1, realizes to based Quasi-crystals Round and 1 surface of wafer to be measured doping, wherein controlling the doping concentration in the doped layer of crystal column surface is 1014cm-3~ 1017cm-3?.Later, benchmark wafer and wafer to be measured 1 are transmitted to heat treatment cavity 40, as shown in figure 1 B process.In Re Chu It manages in cavity 40, a heat treatment process is carried out to benchmark wafer and wafer to be measured 1, annealing temperature is 100 DEG C~300 DEG C, so that Doped ions activation in first doped layer on the surface of benchmark wafer and wafer to be measured 1 and the second doped layer 2.At this point, by base Quasi-crystalline substance is round and wafer 1 to be measured is transmitted to minority carrier life time measurement cavity 50, as shown in figure 1 C process.Cavity 50 is measured in minority carrier life time In, the minority carrier life time of the benchmark wafer and the wafer to be measured 1 is measured for the first time, obtains the few son of the first benchmark of benchmark wafer The first minority carrier life time Tw1 of service life Tbl1 and wafer to be measured 1, in general, the first benchmark minority carrier life time Tbl1 of benchmark wafer and The value of first minority carrier life time Tw1 of wafer 1 to be measured is horizontal in the same order of magnitude.
Step S2 is executed benchmark wafer and wafer to be measured 1 to be transmitted in illumination cavity 30, with reference to shown in Fig. 3 c such as Fig. 1 Middle D process.In illumination cavity 30, a During Illumination 4 is carried out to the benchmark wafer and the wafer to be measured 2.In this implementation In example, using common halogen lamp, D2Other lamps such as lamp, xenon lamp or flash lamp can carry out illumination, the time root of illumination to wafer It is controlled according to the intensity of illumination of halogen lamp etc., generally, light application time is 10 minutes~120 minutes.By described in lighting process Doped ions in first doped layer and the second doped layer 2 ' Jing Guo lighting process form the first complex with Fe ion respectively With the second complex (not shown), in the present embodiment, the first complex and the second complex are Fe-Ga complex. Fe-Ga complex can impact the minority carrier life time of wafer, and relative to Fe, the compound physical efficiency of Fe-Ga absorbs more non-equilibrium Carrier, so that the carrier concentration in Fe-Ga complex increases, so that minority carrier life time reduces.Also, in the present embodiment, need Illumination is wanted as far as possible for a long time, to measure the value of stable minority carrier life time.During Illumination completion after, by benchmark wafer and to It surveys wafer 1 to be transmitted in minority carrier life time measurement cavity 50, as shown in figure 1 E process.In minority carrier life time measurement cavity 50, second Measurement obtains the second benchmark minority carrier life time Tbl2 of benchmark wafer and the second minority carrier life time Tw2 of wafer to be measured 1.It needs to illustrate It is, it, can continuous illumination, measurement alternating if to obtain the curve graph of the time of minority carrier life time and illumination in the present embodiment It carries out, until the minority carrier life time of measurement is stablized, that is, needs benchmark wafer and wafer to be measured 1 in illumination cavity 30 and minority carrier life time It is transmitted back and forth in measurement cavity 50.The content of Fe in wafer is different, so as to cause the otherness that declines of minority carrier life time of wafer, Judge that the content of Fe is different according to the otherness of the numerical value of the decline of minority carrier life time.
Step S3 is executed, with reference to Fig. 3 d, benchmark wafer and wafer to be measured 1 are transmitted to heat treatment cavity 40, as shown in figure 1 F Process.In heat treatment cavity 40, a heat treatment process is carried out to the benchmark wafer and the wafer to be measured 1, carries out hot place For the heat treatment temperature that reason process uses for 50 DEG C~300 DEG C, the time for carrying out heat treatment process is 1 minute~120 minutes.By In the first time doped layer of heat treatment process and the second doped layer 2 " through Overheating Treatment, heat treatment process makes the Fe-Ga Complex decompose, i.e., described first complex and second complex decompose, the decomposition of Fe-Ga complex, in wafer Carrier concentration decline therewith, thus the initial value when minority carrier life time in wafer is gradually recovered to measure for the first time.Also, In the present embodiment, needs to be heat-treated as far as possible for a long time, measure the value of stable minority carrier life time.Later, G process as shown in figure 1.By base Quasi-crystalline substance is round and wafer 1 to be measured once again passes to minority carrier life time measurement cavity 50, and in minority carrier life time measurement cavity 50, third time is surveyed The minority carrier life time for measuring the benchmark wafer and the wafer to be measured 1 respectively obtains the third benchmark minority carrier life time of benchmark wafer The third minority carrier life time Tw3 of Tbl3 and wafer to be measured 1.Likewise, in the present embodiment, if to obtain minority carrier life time and heat treatment Time curve graph, can continuous heat treatment process, measurement alternately, until the minority carrier life time of measurement is stablized, need Illustrate, if the decline of the minority carrier life time of wafer is due to caused by Fe-Ga complex, after heating, wafer lacks The sub- service life, avoiding the decline of minority carrier life time was due to caused by other factors, thus benchmark since Fe-Ga separation can just restore The third benchmark minority carrier life time Tbl3 of wafer and the first benchmark minority carrier life time Tbl1 are close, the third of wafer 1 to be measured The minority carrier life time Tw3 and close Tw1 of the first minority carrier life time.
Finally, with reference to H process in Fig. 1, benchmark wafer and wafer to be measured are passed after being completed after all testing procedures Into wafer carrying platform 10, benchmark wafer and wafer to be measured 1 are taken out.
Difference tests the curve of the minority carrier life time for the benchmark wafer that the moment obtains refering to what is shown in Fig. 4, the different test moment obtain The curve of the minority carrier life time of wafer to be measured 1 out is with reference to shown in Fig. 5.If the first benchmark minority carrier life time Tbl of benchmark wafer and Three benchmark minority carrier life time Tbl3 are almost the same, the first minority carrier life time Tw1 and third minority carrier life time Tw3 of wafer to be measured almost phase Together, then the variation for illustrating the minority carrier life time of wafer is due to caused by internal Fe impurity, so as to few according to the second benchmark The difference of the decline of sub- service life Tbl2 and the second minority carrier life time Tw2 judges whether iron content is abnormal.
Execute step S4, according to Fig. 4 and Fig. 5, the third benchmark minority carrier life time Tbl3 of benchmark wafer and the first benchmark Minority carrier life time Tbl1 is close, and the third minority carrier life time Tw3 and the first minority carrier life time Tw1 of wafer 1 to be measured are close, then explanation is few The decline in sub- service life is due to caused by Fe-Ga complex.Wherein, the second benchmark minority carrier life time Tbl2 of benchmark wafer and Difference between the first benchmark minority carrier life time Tbl1 is the first difference, the second minority carrier life time Tw2 of wafer 1 to be measured and The difference of the first minority carrier life time Tw1 be the second difference, if second difference be greater than first difference, illustrate to The Fe-Ga complex formed in survey wafer 1 is more, so that minority carrier life time decline is more, to judge in the wafer to be measured 1 Iron content is abnormal.Also, the second difference is bigger compared to the first difference, illustrates that the content of the Fe in wafer is higher, thus according to The size relation of second difference, can with the size relation for obtaining the iron content in wafer of sxemiquantitative,
It is not limited to adulterate using gallium in addition, being doped benchmark wafer and wafer to be measured 1 in the present invention, can also adopt With boron doping, the doped layer of boron is formed.Under illumination condition, boron and Fe form Fe-B complex, same based on Fe-Ga composite bulk phase Principle so that the minority carrier life time in wafer reduces, also, Fe-B complex can decompose after Overheating Treatment, thus So that the minority carrier life time of wafer restores.Likewise, according to the minority carrier life time decline after 1 illumination of benchmark wafer and wafer to be measured The difference in size of value, it can be determined that whether the content of the Fe in wafer 1 to be measured is normal.
In addition, the abnormal test of Fe content is only carried out with benchmark wafer and a wafer to be measured, in this hair in the present embodiment In bright other embodiments, multiple wafers to be measured such as two, three can also be tested, test comparative approach with Method in the present embodiment is identical, and the present invention should not be limited with the present embodiment content.
In conclusion in detection wafer of the invention iron content exception device and method, in benchmark wafer and to be measured Crystal column surface forms the first doped layer and the second doped layer, and it is compound that Doped ions form first with Fe ion under conditions of illumination Body and the second complex, so that the minority carrier life time of wafer reduces, after carrying out heat treatment process to wafer, the first complex It can be decomposed with the second complex, the minority carrier life time of wafer can restore initial value again.Therefore, pass through the wafer of measurement different moments Minority carrier life time, and the numerical value that the minority carrier life time of wafer to be measured and benchmark problem wafer declines is compared, so as to judge Whether the content of the Fe in wafer to be measured is abnormal.Also, in the present invention, the content of Fe is higher, the first complex of formation and Two complexs are more, and the minority carrier life time of wafer is smaller, therefore, the difference of the iron content between different wafers can be obtained with sxemiquantitative It is different.
Obviously, various changes and modifications can be made to the invention without departing from essence of the invention by those skilled in the art Mind and range.In this way, if these modifications and changes of the present invention belongs to the range of the claims in the present invention and its equivalent technologies Within, then the present invention is also intended to include these modifications and variations.
