Detailed Description
The embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to specific embodiments, and other advantages and effects of the present invention will be easily understood by those skilled in the art from the disclosure of the present specification. The invention is capable of other and different embodiments and of being practiced or of being carried out in various ways, and its several details are capable of modification in various respects, all without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
Please refer to fig. 1 to 4. It should be noted that the drawings provided in the present embodiment are only for illustrating the basic idea of the present invention, and the drawings only show the components related to the present invention rather than being drawn according to the number, shape and size of the components in actual implementation, and the type, quantity and proportion of each component in actual implementation may be changed arbitrarily, and the layout of the components may be more complicated.
Referring to fig. 1, a flow chart of a method for manufacturing a semiconductor substrate according to an embodiment of the present invention is shown in fig. 1, where the method includes the following steps:
step S1: providing a substrate 100;
step S2: forming an epitaxial layer 200 on the substrate 100;
step S3: performing first laser annealing on the substrate 100 and the epitaxial layer 200 with laser of a first wavelength;
step S4: performing second laser annealing on the epitaxial layer 200 by using laser with a second wavelength; wherein the first wavelength is greater than the second wavelength.
The method for manufacturing a semiconductor substrate according to the present invention will be described in detail with reference to specific examples.
In step S1, the substrate 100 may be a silicon substrate, or may be a substrate made of other materials, such as a GaN substrate. In the embodiment of the present invention, a method for manufacturing the semiconductor substrate will be described in detail, taking the substrate 100 as a silicon substrate as an example.
In step S2, as shown in fig. 2, an epitaxial layer 200 is formed on the substrate 100. The epitaxial layer 200 may be a silicon epitaxial layer, which may be formed on the top surface of the substrate 100 by deposition; in an exemplary embodiment, the silicon epitaxial layer may be SiH4、SiH2Cl2、SiHCl3、SiCl4And Si2Cl6As a reaction gas. Moreover, in the embodiment of the present invention, the thickness of the epitaxial layer 200 is between 8 μm and 20 μm; in a preferred embodiment, the thickness of the epitaxial layer 200 may be 10 μm. As shown in FIG. 2, there may be more impurity defects 300 at the interface between the substrate 100 and the epitaxial layer 200, and within the epitaxial layer 200, the impurity defects 300 including oxygen, carbon and goldImpurities such as genus, and COP defects.
In step S3, a first laser anneal is performed on the substrate 100 and the epitaxial layer 200 with a laser of a first wavelength. The action position of the first laser annealing is positioned on the interface of the substrate 100 and the epitaxial layer 200, and firstly impurities and defects positioned on the interface are removed; in specific implementation, the first wavelength of the laser light for performing the first laser annealing may be set according to the thickness of the epitaxial layer 200, and in the embodiment of the present invention, according to the thickness of the epitaxial layer 200 obtained in step S2, since the thickness of the epitaxial layer 200 is between 8 μm and 20 μm, the first wavelength may be set between 600nm and 1060nm, so as to ensure that the laser light with the first wavelength can act on the interface between the substrate 100 and the epitaxial layer 200. In an exemplary embodiment, the thickness of the epitaxial layer 200 is 10 μm, and the first wavelength may be set to 1060 nm. As shown in fig. 3, the first laser annealing is effective to reduce impurity defects 300 located at the interface in the semiconductor substrate.
In step S4, the epitaxial layer 200 is subjected to a second laser anneal with a second wavelength laser. The active site of the second laser anneal is within the epitaxial layer 200. Since the impurity defects 300 in the epitaxial layer 200 may be concentrated in the epitaxial layer 200 with a certain depth, the distance between the second laser annealing action position and the top surface of the epitaxial layer 200 is between 3 μm and 10 μm for the epitaxial layer 200 formed in step S2; in an exemplary embodiment, the thickness of the epitaxial layer 200 is 10 μm, and the distance between the active site of the second laser annealing and the top surface of the epitaxial layer 200 may be 5 μm. In a specific implementation, in order to control the action position of the second laser annealing, the second wavelength of the second laser annealing can be set to be between 100nm and 500nm, and the second wavelength is smaller than the first wavelength; in an exemplary embodiment, the thickness of the epitaxial layer 200 is 10 μm, and the second wavelength may be set to 300 nm. With the above arrangement, as shown in fig. 4, the second laser annealing can further remove the impurity defects 300 located in the epitaxial layer 200.
Moreover, in order to improve the efficiency of laser annealing, in the embodiment of the present invention, the laser used in the first laser annealing and/or the second laser annealing may be selected to be a wide emission domain laser, so that the laser can irradiate on the semiconductor substrate with a larger area to perform annealing, and has higher irradiation uniformity. In the invention, the first laser annealing and the second laser annealing are both carried out in a nitrogen atmosphere.
In addition, in order to further improve the efficiency of laser annealing, in an embodiment of the present invention, the method for manufacturing a semiconductor substrate may further include: forming a barrier layer on the epitaxial layer 200, wherein the barrier layer is used for defining a chip area for preparing an integrated circuit; the blocking layer may be a photoresist or a dielectric layer formed of a dielectric material such as silicon dioxide or silicon nitride, and the chip region is defined on the surface of the epitaxial layer 200 by a photolithography process. After the barrier layer is formed, the chip region is covered by the action region of the second laser annealing, so that the second laser annealing can be performed only in the region corresponding to the chip region, and the second laser annealing is not required to be performed on all the surfaces of the epitaxial layer 200, thereby improving the laser annealing efficiency.
As can be seen from the above description of the embodiments, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor substrate, by providing a substrate 100; forming an epitaxial layer 200 on the substrate 100; performing first laser annealing on the substrate 100 and the epitaxial layer 200 with laser of a first wavelength; performing second laser annealing on the epitaxial layer 200 by using laser with a second wavelength; wherein the first wavelength is greater than the second wavelength. The interface of the substrate 100 and the epitaxial layer 200 and the impurity defects 300 in the epitaxial layer 200 can be effectively removed by two times of laser annealing, so that the quality of the semiconductor substrate is effectively improved; in addition, laser annealing can be completed in a short time, and the manufacturing efficiency of the semiconductor substrate can be effectively improved.
In summary, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing a semiconductor substrate, in which the first laser annealing and the second laser annealing are matched with each other, so as to effectively remove the interface between the substrate 100 and the epitaxial layer 200 and the impurity defects 300 in the epitaxial layer 200; the laser annealing can be completed in a short time, so that the manufacturing efficiency of the semiconductor substrate is improved. Therefore, the invention effectively overcomes various defects in the prior art and has high industrial utilization value.
