The crystal structure and deep level metal content of silicon rod being suitable for the measurement of the high frequency method of photoconductivity decay measurement the present invention provides one kind and partly lead
The preprocess method of body grade monocrystalline silicon minority carrier life time, this method can effectively eliminate the fault of construction of monocrystalline silicon silicon rod and surface is answered
Close the influence of effect.
Technical solution:The high frequency method of photoconductivity decay measurement of the present invention that is suitable for measures semiconductor grade monocrystalline silicon minority carrier life time
Preprocess method, include the following steps:
(1) silicon single crystal rod is processed into cylinder;
(2) silicon single crystal rod for obtaining step (1) carries out chemical polishing;
(3) silicon single crystal rod for completing chemical polishing is rinsed, it is dry.
In step (1), silicon single crystal rod is processed into cylinder using grinder.The grinder is preferably surface grinding
Machine.
In step (1), the silicon single crystal rod is the silicon single crystal rod for completing the molten processing in area.Qu Rong processing is specific processed
Cheng Wei:Polycrystalline silicon rod is processed into silicon single crystal rod by zone-melting process, completes the later silicon single crystal rod substantially cylindrical of the molten processing in area,
But mach mode can be used to handle as optimum shape so in order to accurately measure in the presence of some corner angle, it is cylindrical.
In step (2), the chemical polishing is to utilize HF/HNO3Mixed system carries out chemical polishing.
Preferably, the HF/HNO3In mixed system, HF and HNO3Volume ratio is 1: (2-4).
Preferably, the time of chemical polishing is 5-8min.
In step (3), the silicon single crystal rod for completing chemical polishing is rinsed using ultra-high purity water.
In step (3), the drying is to dry up the moisture on silicon rod surface.
In step (3), the moisture on silicon rod surface is dried up using high pure nitrogen.
Operation principle:
1. the geometry of silicon single crystal rod
When detecting minority carrier life time by the high frequency method of photoconductivity decay measurement, detection sample is placed on monitor station, high frequency electric source carries
The electric current of confession can obtain the conductivity of sample by detecting sample.When infrared light supply is irradiated to detection sample surfaces, detection
Sample can be inspired photo-generate electron-hole pair, and the nonequilibrium carrier inspired can make detection sample generate additional photoconduction.
After illumination disappears, additional photoconduction can continuously decrease until disappearing, and adding photoconductive extinction time by test can obtain
To the mean survival time of non-equilibrium minority carrier, i.e. minority carrier life time.
Ideally, infinitely great silicon single crystal body has the periodic structure of long-range order, but silicon single crystal in practice
Body must have boundary, and in boundary, the Periodic Potential of silicon single crystal silicon body occurs to interrupt suddenly or significantly distort, will
Generate crystal defect.These faults of construction make occur structural distortion, thus surface state bigger at faceted pebble angle, surface at faceted pebble angle
Charge density bigger, i.e., electronics is easy to accumulate at faceted pebble angle.The increase of electron density directly results in the increase of surface recombination probability,
The mean survival time of photo-generate electron-hole pair is reduced, and macro manifestations reduce for minority carrier life time.In order to reduce silicon single crystal rod surface
Because of the influence measured minority carrier life time caused by boundary effect, burnishing part is carried out to silicon rod first when silicon rod pre-processes
Reason makes silicon rod shape that the cylinder of rule be presented.
2. silicon single crystal rod Surface Chemical Polishing liquid matches
Minority carrier life time can evaluate polycrystalline silicon material quality and control technical process in study on floating zone silicon barred body, however reality is examined
The minority carrier life time of survey is the compound of body minority carrier life time and surface minority carrier life time.To reduce surface recombination effect, the few son in surface is reduced
Interference of the service life to test result, it is necessary to which silicon single crystal rod is surface-treated.With HF-HNO3Mix acid system to silicon single crystal rod into
Row chemical polishing, HF and HNO3Volume ratio is 1: n (n=2-4), it is ensured that the good chemical polishing effect in silicon rod surface disappears
Except surface recombination center.Silicon is in HF-HNO3Reaction in system is broadly divided into two parts, the oxidation (equation 1) of silicon and dioxy
The dissolving of SiClx (equation 2), reaction equation are as follows:
3Si+4HNO3→3SiO2+4NO+2H2O (1)
SiO2+6HF→H2SiF6+2H2O (2)
In the reaction, the oxidation of silicon and the dissolving of silica are to occur simultaneously.Work as HNO3When concentration increases, silicon is in HF-
HNO3Reaction in system is more and more violent, and the NO amounts released are also more and more.These NO bubbles can be enriched in silicon face, and one
Aspect hinders etchings of the HF to silica.On the other hand, also counteract the silica that is etched away from silicon face to molten
It is transmitted in liquid.HF and HNO3There is polishing action to the corrosion of silicon, with the progress of reaction, silicon face higher point can be corroded,
Surface roughness reduces.
The concentration of mixing acid system directly affects the effect of chemical polishing, when mixed proportion n is too small, it is difficult to play
The effect of chemical polishing;The effect that chemical polishing can be also reduced when mixed proportion n is excessive, because if mixed proportion mistake
Conference causes a large amount of NO to be gathered in silicon material surface, objectively hinders the polishing effect of mixing acid system.
3. the chemical polishing time of silicon single crystal rod
The chemical polishing time is another key factor for influencing polishing, and the time of chemical polishing is too short, can not be to list
Fully corrode on crystalline silicon rod surface, it is difficult to completely remove the fault of construction on its surface, silicon rod Surface combination effect still can be to measuring
As a result have an impact;On the other hand, since chemical polishing is an exothermal reaction process, with the extension of polishing time, mixed acid
The temperature of system gradually rises, and the reaction speed of chemical polishing is getting faster, and chemical reaction process is difficult to control, and can lead to silicon rod
Surface generates new fault of construction, and then generates new Surface combination effect, and this Surface combination effect be it is uncontrolled,
Measurement result to minority carrier life time is also random.Preferred polishing time is t (t=5-8min), can make the silicon rod surface be in
Existing good chemical polishing effect, the measured value of minority carrier life time is also highest.
Advantageous effect:Preprocess method provided by the invention can effectively eliminate the boundary effect and surface recombination because of silicon rod
The measurement error of minority carrier life time caused by effect effectively reduces influence of the silicon rod surface texture to minority carrier life time detected value, makes
Measurement result more can really reflect the actual conditions of silicon single crystal rod crystal structure and deep level metal content.
