【Embodiment】
(Experiment 1)
ForThe silicon wafer of 300mm carries out chemical mechanical grinding(CMP).Then, by being illustrated with Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 Brushing decontaminating apparatus(Brushing method of cleaning), carry out the positive of the silicon wafer after CMP and clean.It indicates to clean condition below.
The rotating speed of silicon wafer is set as 35rpm, in addition, using pure water for detergent remover, its flow is set as 1.0L/min. At this point, adverse current distance t is 10mm.In addition, the radius r of disk-shaped clean component is 30mm, the movement speed of component is cleaned(It can The velocity of rotation in swing arm portion)For 4mm/s, it is about 17.1 to clean component relative to the rotating ratio of chip, and the rotating speed for cleaning component is 600rpm cleans the PVA that component is 1000% using water absorption rate(Polyvinyl alcohol)The sponge of system.
Under this condition, make to clean specified position of the component from the center of chip to outer peripheral edge(Out reach)It is mobile(It is sliding Dynamic brushing)1 time.Also, it is on the move, so that out reach d is met following formula between adverse current distance t and the radius r of clean component Ground changes:(a)d<0,(b)0<d<R-t,(c)D=r-t,(d)r-t<d<2r,(e)d≥2r.
Specifically, as comparative example 1, out reach d is set as -10mm((a)d<0 the case where)(With reference to Fig. 4).As Embodiment 1, is set as+5mm((b)0<d<The case where r-t)(With reference to Fig. 5).As embodiment 2, it is set as+15mm((b)0<d<r-t The case where)(With reference to Fig. 3).As embodiment 3, it is set as+20mm((c)The case where d=r-t)(With reference to Fig. 3).As comparative example 2, It is set as+30mm((d)r-t<d<2r)(With reference to Fig. 6).As comparative example 3, it is set as+50mm((d)r-t<d<2r)(With reference to Fig. 6). As comparative example 4, it is set as+60mm((e)The case where d >=2r)(With reference to Fig. 7).
Out reach d is set as embodiment 1 ~ 3, comparative example 1 ~ 4, measures respective light point defects number.In addition, sample (Silicon wafer)Number is each 10, finds out sample(10)In light point defects average value.
In addition, in specified position(Out reach)Place cleans component in the state of the mobile stopping of movable arm, in crystalline substance On piece sliding brushing after cleaning 1 second, is detached from from front wafer surface.
Hereafter, measure it is each in the case of clean after front wafer surface 26nm or more light point defects(Light Point Defect)Number.Measurement for light point defects uses details in a play not acted out on stage, but told through dialogues laser light scattering foreign body detecting device(Dark Visual Ye レ ー ザ ー are at random Iso quality testing Check devices)(The Surfscan SP3 of KLA-Tencor corporations).
The result indicates in fig.9.In addition, in fig.9, as described above, each graph representation sample(10)Luminous point lack Sunken average value.In addition, the longitudinal error stick in each chart indicates that deviation, the expression of lateral error stick consider specified position(Outside Stretch distance)Precision(±5mm)Image.
It can be defined from Fig. 9, in the case where out reach is -10mm(Comparative example 1), with the clean component of chip peripheral part Do not reach region centered on, detect 10,000 or more light point defects.It is not removed originally with brush to be inferred as this Existing for chip periphery the case where particle.
In contrast, it is+5mm ~+20mm in out reach(Embodiment 1 ~ 3)In the case of, light point defects are reduced to 140 It is a or so.On the other hand, further it is increased to+30mm in out reach(Comparative example 2)、+50mm(Comparative example 3)、+60mm (Comparative example 4)In the case of, light point defects are transformed into increase tendency again, respectively become 250,800,400 or so.
As previously mentioned, being inferred as 0<d<Under conditions of r-t and d=r-t, the row relative to the flowing of unrolling for forming hydrops Into direction, cleaning the direction of rotation of component will not drive in the wrong direction, and assign the velocity component towards chip peripheral direction, therefore be easily drained Hydrops, light point defects are reduced.
In contrast, in r-t<d<Under conditions of 2r, relative to the direction of travel for flowing of unrolling, the rotation for cleaning component is generated Turn the retrograde ingredient in direction, therefore interferes the fluid drainage of hydrops.In addition, according to circumstances, generating the flowing towards chip inner circumferential side. It is inferred as these reasons, light point defects increase.
In turn, it is inferred as in d >=2r(60mm)In the case of, clean component crosses chip, thus mitigates washing water to crystalline substance The flowing of circumferential direction in piece, the part containing fine-grained washing water are discharged, therefore light point defects number ratio r-t<d<The shape of 2r State reduces.
In this way, having assert that the average light point defects number of the front wafer surface after cleaning depends on out reach d, and confirmed In the range of out reach d preferably+5 ~+20mm(0<d<R-t and d=r-t).In addition, assert out reach d be+5 ~+ In the case of in the range of 20mm, average light point defects number is 0.2d+140 or less.
