Description

Method for detecting defects of silicon polished wafer
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the field of monocrystalline silicon wafer research, and relates to a method for detecting defects of a polished silicon wafer.
Background
A silicon wafer as an IC substrate is required to be produced by cutting a single crystal silicon rod and then subjecting the cut silicon wafer to a large amount of physical, chemical, and thermal treatments. A silicon single crystal rod is generally obtained by a Czochralski method (CZ method — hereinafter, referred to as "CZ method") in which a seed crystal is immersed in molten silicon having a high purity (99.9999999% or more) in a quartz crucible and the single crystal is Grown by pulling, but a fine defect called a Grown-in defect is introduced into the crystal during the growth of the single crystal.
The Grown-in defect is related to the pulling rate at the time of growing a single crystal and the distribution of the internal temperature of the single crystal after solidification (the temperature gradient in the crystal in the pulling axis direction), and exists in the single crystal in the form of a void-type agglomerated defect having a size of about 0.1 to 0.3 μm, called cop (crystal ordered particle), or the like, and a defect formed by micro-Dislocation having a size of about 10 μm, called Dislocation Cluster (Dislocation Cluster), or the like.
COP is a factor that causes a decrease in the breakdown voltage of the oxide film at the initial stage, and dislocation clusters are also a cause of poor characteristics of devices formed thereon.
In addition, the polishing quality of the IC silicon wafer also directly influences the breakdown characteristic, the interface state and the minority carrier lifetime, and has larger influence on surface devices such as MOS, CCD and the like. The polishing mist of the silicon wafer is one of important parameters for high-quality polishing, and particularly, the evaluation of the fine polishing quality of the silicon wafer is more important.
In addition, in recent years, the IC is rapidly developed towards high integration, shallow junction and high performance, and along with the demand for miniaturization and high precision, the IC linewidth has been highly developed towards 5nm according to moore's law and the strategic planning of various IC manufacturers; the whole IC industry has higher and higher requirements on the polishing quality of silicon wafers and the COP control technology in the manufacturing process, so how to efficiently and conveniently detect the polishing quality defects (polishing haze) and the COPs of the silicon wafers has higher requirements.
Whether the silicon wafer has COP is checked, and whether the silicon wafer is qualified or not is judged by using the number of COP and the existence of patterns; one of the COP detection methods is called a copper deposition method (copper decoration method). This is a method of utilizing a phenomenon that when an insulating film (oxide film) is formed on the surface of a silicon wafer, the oxide film becomes non-uniform at a portion where COP exists. In the method, after an oxide film with a specified thickness is formed on the surface of a wafer, an external voltage is applied to enable copper to be precipitated at the same time of oxide film rupture at COP positions on the surface of the silicon wafer; the precipitated copper was observed with the naked eye, and COP was measured by observation with a Transmission Electron Microscope (TEM) or a Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM). However, the COP detection method is complicated and requires expensive professional equipment to be suitable for analytical research, and is not suitable for popularization in mass daily production of silicon wafer production lines.
Whether the polishing fog exists on the silicon wafer polishing sheet or not is checked, particularly when the silicon wafer polishing sheet passes through a particle detection machine, if the polishing fog on the surface of the silicon wafer polishing sheet is serious, the particles reflected by the silicon wafer polishing sheet are abnormal and more, and for the test machine, it is difficult to distinguish whether the tested 'particles' are COP (coefficient of performance), polishing fog or real particles which are not cleaned.
Although detection of COP in silicon wafer processing can be achieved by a particle tester (KLA-Tencor) after removal of polishing haze. However, this will definitely occupy the limited testing capacity of particles in the silicon wafer manufacturing process and consume the useful life of the expensive testing machine, which will affect the shipment rate of the silicon wafer factory and increase the maintenance cost of the testing equipment of the silicon wafer factory.
Polishing of the silicon wafer is divided into rough polishing, fine polishing and fine polishing, wherein the rough polishing aims to efficiently remove high damage and distortion layers caused by grinding and achieve certain flatness and smoothness; the main task of fine polishing is to remove a micro-damage layer generated in the course of rough polishing and realize high surface smoothness; the fine polishing is used for further fine polishing and chemical stripping, and only the nano-scale removal quantity further improves the surface smoothness of the polished silicon wafer. The polishing mist is generated because the surface roughness (haze) of the silicon wafer, which is exhibited by the inability of the fine polishing/finish polishing to remove the damaged layer existing after the rough polishing of the silicon wafer within a predetermined time, is excessively large.
CN10466876A discloses a COP evaluation method for a single crystal silicon wafer, which is characterized in that an evaluation region of a wafer to be evaluated is divided into concentric circles in a radial direction, an upper limit value of the number of COPs in each divided evaluation region is set, and the acceptance or rejection of the single crystal silicon wafer is determined based on the upper limit value, so that the COPs can be evaluated quantitatively and objectively, and accurate determination can be made based on a clear criterion; this method is an explicit reference method based on quantification, but its detection method is complicated and is not suitable for industrial application.
CN1815205A discloses a testing device and a testing method for inducing surface COP of a silicon wafer by Cu, belonging to the technical field of detection methods. The method mainly comprises the steps of oxidizing a tested silicon wafer, removing an oxide film on the back of the silicon wafer, filling a chemical reaction tank with a methanol solution, sequentially placing a first copper plate, the silicon wafer, a silicon dioxide film, a second copper plate and an electrode, then tightly covering a cover, connecting the electrode with the second copper plate, and connecting the electrode with a positive terminal of a power supply through a lead; the first copper plate is connected with the negative end of the power supply through a lead; a direct current power supply is used for supplying direct current between the first copper plate and the second copper plate; then discharging the methanol solution from the chemical reaction tank, taking out the silicon wafer, and measuring the number of defects of the silicon wafer after drying treatment; the method has good sensitivity and flexibility, but the detection method is complex and is not beneficial to industrial application.
Therefore, it is necessary to develop a method for rapidly detecting the silicon crystal void type primary lattice microdefects.
