A kind of silicon chip edge polishing process
Technical field
The present invention relates to a kind of silicon chip edge polishing processes, belong to silicon chip process technology field.
Background technique
As semi-conductor industry is along the rapidly development of Moore's Law, microelectronic component characteristic size constantly reduces, to silicon
Integrality, uniformity, surface quality, edge quality, performance detection evaluation of material etc. propose increasingly harsher requirement.For
The productivity for improving epitaxial wafer or device producer, to silicon chip edge quality proposes more strict requirements.For 8 inches or
It is generally to cross Cheng Qian for larger sized silicon wafer in surface polishing and need to carry out edge polishing.Edge polishing is using chemical machine
Tool polishing, there are one layer of polishing fluid thin layer between silicon chip edge surface and polishing cloth, corrodes silicon chip edge surface, generates
One layer of chemicals transition zone, in the collective effect of polishing cloth and polishing fluid, chamfering damaging layer is constantly corroded and removes, finally
Smooth undamaged edge surface is obtained, to prevent the easy chipping in edge, extension back edge defect etc..
In traditional edge polishing process process, plane of reference edge polishing is usually first carried out, then carry out round edge edge
Polishing.The process features are before edge polishing without cleaning, and plane of reference edge polishing is prior to round edge edge polishing.Due to edge table
The hydrophobicity in face makes the SiO in polishing fluid2The alkaline solution of soliquid composition is gathered in edge surface, makes chemical attack
Effect is greater than mechanical removal and acts on, and increases surface micro-roughness.It is thrown simultaneously when the silicon wafer for having thrown the plane of reference is using round edge
When board, since the plane of reference is not by mechanism, polishing fluid chemical attack damaging layer caused by the plane of reference can be left behind,
It is observed under metallographic microscope (Nikon-L200N), as shown in Figure 2.Edge there are the silicon wafer of damaging layer extension process when be easy
Extension stacking fault defects are generated in injury region, epitaxial wafer or device yield is reduced, influences product quality.As shown in figure 3, in gold
The outer edge defect delayed observed under phase microscope (Nikon-L200N).
Summary of the invention
The purpose of the present invention is to provide a kind of silicon chip edge polishing processes, to solve round edge edge polishing in the prior art
The technical issues of causing corrosion damage to the silicon wafer plane of reference in the process improves extension processing and device process yield.
To achieve the above object, the invention adopts the following technical scheme:
A kind of silicon chip edge polishing process, comprising the following steps:
(1) silicon wafer is started the cleaning processing using cleaning machine;
(2) silicon wafer after cleaning is subjected to board centering processing;
(3) the round edge edge of silicon wafer is processed by shot blasting;
(4) silicon wafer for completing round edge edge polishing is subjected to plane of reference localization process;
(5) silicon wafer determined to completion reference plane position carries out the processing of plane of reference edge polishing.
In the step (1), 1 cleaning is carried out to silicon wafer using SC-1 cleaning solution, the time is 6-10 minutes, cleaning temperature
Degree is 50-80 DEG C, carries out QDR in pure water slot later and rinses 3 times, finally makes silicon chip edge surface in hydrophily.Wherein, described
SC-1 cleaning solution is by ammonium hydroxide, hydrogen peroxide and pure water by (1-2): (1-2): the mass ratio of (10-20) mixes.
Preferably, in the step (2), centering, the silicon wafer center of circle and board circle are carried out to silicon wafer using edge polisher
The heart deviates range within 0.2mm.
Preferably, in the step (3), used polishing cloth hardness is 60Aske-C, edge polishing pressure 80-
120N, revolving speed 500-900r/min, time 50-90s.
Preferably, in the step (4), the silicon wafer plane of reference and the board depth of parallelism are within 0.1mm.
Preferably, in the step (5), used polishing cloth hardness is 60Aske-C, edge polishing pressure 10-
30N, revolving speed 1000-1300r/min, time 50-90s.
The present invention has the advantages that
Cleaning treatment and change edge polishing process sequence before the present invention is thrown by increasing side, effective solution side was thrown
The problem of plane of reference edge corrosion caused by journey damages, obtains smooth undamaged plane of reference edge, improves extension processing
And device process yield.

Specific embodiment
Below by drawings and examples, the present invention will be further described, but is not meant to the scope of the present invention
Limitation.
As shown in Figure 1, being process flow chart of the invention, included process is successively are as follows: at SC-1 cleaning-silicon wafer centering
Reason-round edge edge polishing-plane of reference positioning-plane of reference edge polishing.
Embodiment
Process 8 cun of heavily doped As, the pingbian plane of reference silicon wafer that chamfering degree is 22 degree
(1) using cleaning machine treat side throw silicon wafer cleaned, first pass through SC-1 cleaning, SC-1 cleaning solution be by ammonium hydroxide,
Hydrogen peroxide and pure water are mixed in 1: 1: 15 ratio to be formed.Scavenging period is 7 minutes, and cleaning temperature is 70 DEG C, later in pure water slot
Middle progress QDR is rinsed 3 times.Finally it is dried using drying mode.
