Exempt from cross-infection.
Simultaneously as the Ozone costs that the present invention uses are very low, the cost of cleaning can be greatly reduced.
Technical scheme for a better understanding of the present invention and technique effect, below in conjunction with specific embodiment to the present invention
Technical scheme be described in detail.
Embodiment one
On chip before growing film, it will usually carry out cleaning, to ensure the cleannes of chip, avoid film from giving birth to
Exist after length due to not washing clean and caused embedded particles defect clearly, influence the yield of chip.In the present embodiment, it is applied to
Wafer cleaning process before film growth, it is particularly suitable for use in by the wafer cleaning before the film growth of furnace tube device.
In the present embodiment, using the cleaning method of the present invention, will can have been formed using Ozone on chip or chip
Film layer structure aoxidized, specifically, Ozone can be sprayed in the upper and lower surface of chip so that oxide layer on chip becomes
Thickness, or some attaching particles are aoxidized, then, when using SC1 cleaning fluids cleaning chip, the oxide layer is removed
Fall, meanwhile, the attachment of wafer surface can be removed in the lump.Before wafer cleaning, if also there are primary oxidation on chip
Nitride layer, native oxide can also be got rid of in the lump using SC1 cleaning fluids.
In the present invention, the chip is semi-conducting material, such as can be Si chips, Ge chips, SiGe chips, SOI
(silicon-on-insulator, Silicon On Insulator) or GOI (germanium on insulator, Germanium On Insulator) etc..
In other embodiments, the chip can also be the chip for including other elements semiconductor or compound semiconductor, such as
GaAs, InP or SiC etc., can also be laminated construction, such as Si/SiGe etc. can be with other epitaxial structures, such as SGOI is (absolutely
Germanium silicon on edge body) etc..Normally, chip is monocrystalline silicon.
Chip can be the not no empty piece Jing Guo any processing technology, can also be already formed with film layer structure, these films
For Rotating fields such as can be monocrystalline silicon, polysilicon, silica, silicon nitride, the cleaning in the present invention be to carry out new film
The technique carried out before is grown, to ensure the cleaning of chip, is easy to grow the film of high quality.The film of growth for example can be
Monocrystalline silicon, polysilicon, silica, silicon nitride etc..

The temperature of liquid can be 50 DEG C to 70 DEG C.
Due to being cleaned using hot SC1 cleaning fluids, scavenging period can be shortened, so as to the damage to existing film layer on chip
Consume small.
In addition, the formula of SC1 cleaning fluids is NH4OH:H2O2:H2O.In order to improve removals of the SC1 to crystal surface oxides
Effect, the embodiment of the present invention can improve NH in SCI4OH volume accounting, specifically, can be by each composition in SC1 cleaning fluids
Volume ratio be defined as NH4OH:H2O2:H2O=1:1~4:50~200.The advantage of selection above parameter area is both to remove
The particle of wafer surface, but it is few to chip erosion amount itself.
In addition, O in Ozone3Concentration also contribute to wafer surface attachment particle removal effect, in certain limit,
O in Ozone3Concentration it is higher, then it is better to the effect of wafer cleaning.Generally, O in Ozone3Concentration can be 5ppm extremely
80ppm, that is to say, that O in Ozone3Concentration be 80ppm, then to crystal top layer attachment particle removal effect relatively more
It is good.
In addition, the time that reasonably control SC1 is cleaned, can also reach the purpose thoroughly cleaned, while on chip
The erosion of film layer structure is smaller.Specifically, the time range of SC1 cleaning fluids cleaning may be controlled to 30-124s.
In a specific application, chip is entering boiler tube processing procedure growing single-crystal silicon, polysilicon, silica, silicon nitride
Before film layer, it can be cleaned using wafer cleaning method provided in an embodiment of the present invention.
In a kind of preferred embodiment, first, in one chip board, O can be used3Concentration is 30ppm Ozone
Crystal surface silicon is aoxidized, forms the oxide of silicon.Secondly, the volume ratio of each composition is used as NH4OH:H2O2:H2O=1:2:50
SC1 cleaning fluids, the oxide of crystal surface silicon is cleaned, and to other particles of crystal top layer, such as primary oxidation
Thing is cleaned.It is worth noting that, the temperature for using SC1 cleaning fluids to clean can be 50 DEG C for room temperature, so as to shorten SC1 cleanings
The time of liquid cleaning, reduce the erosion to the film layer structure on chip.
By comparing the wafer cleaning method of prior art and the present invention, the removal to crystal top layer attaching particles is imitated respectively
Fruit, it is found that more preferable using particle removal effect caused by wafer cleaning method provided by the invention.With reference to figure 2, for crystalline substance
The effect contrast figure of piece top layer attachment cleaning, A are the effect after being cleaned using SC1 and HOM to wafer surface attachment
Figure, B are the design sketch after being cleaned using Ozone and SC1 to wafer surface attachment, wherein, using Ozone and SC1 couples
The particle that wafer surface attachment remains after being cleaned is considerably less than to be carried out clearly using SC1 and HOM to wafer surface attachment
The particle remained after washing.So wafer cleaning method provided by the invention improves the cleaning performance of wafer surface attachment, from
And product yield is improved, meanwhile, reduce the use of the chemicals such as the hydrochloric acid included in HOM, reduce the cost of wafer cleaning.
Embodiment two
Photoresistance (Photo Resist) is the stop sacrifice layer in ion implanting or etching technics, in ion implanting or etching
, it is necessary to carry out cleaning after technique is completed, in cleaning, photoresistance is cleaned up, meanwhile, the film under photoresistance
Rotating fields loss is less.In the prior art, using SPM and SC1 cleaning way, in which, structure under photoresistance can be caused
