Description

Process method for processing 12-inch silicon polished wafer
Technical Field
The invention relates to a process method for processing a 12-inch silicon polishing sheet, in particular to a method for removing surface contamination of the 12-inch polishing sheet by cleaning and drying, belonging to the technical field of semiconductor materials.
Background
Currently, the mainstream process line width of integrated circuits has entered 28/14 nanometer era from 90/65 nanometer era. 12 inch polishing pads, which are the primary material in integrated circuit fabrication, place higher demands on surface particles and metals. The polishing process flow of the 90/65 nanometer era 12-inch polishing piece is edge polishing, cleaning, double-side polishing, cleaning and final polishing. In the 28/14 nm age, the parameter requirement of the 12-inch polishing sheet becomes high, and the polishing process flow is changed into double-sided polishing, cleaning, edge polishing, cleaning and final polishing. The cleaning process after polishing the edge of the 90/65 nm 12-inch polished wafer generally comprises two steps, namely sponge scrubbing in the first step and spin-drying and blow-drying in the second step, and the cleaning process not only has poor effect on removing particles and surface metals, but also causes surface damage. For the 12-inch polished wafer in the 90/65 nanometer era, the subsequent double-sided polishing and cleaning process can remove the residual surface particles, metal and damage, so that the cleaning process adopted after the edge polishing has no big problem, but for the 12-inch polished wafer in the 28/14 nanometer era, the silicon wafer parameter requirement becomes high, and the process flow is changed, so that the final polishing process is directly carried out after the edge polishing and cleaning process is completed on the silicon wafer. This requires that a 12 inch polishing pad after the edge polishing + cleaning process be finished to achieve low surface particle, low surface metal requirements. Therefore, there is a need to provide a new method for cleaning the edge of a 12-inch polishing pad after polishing.

(2) cleaning a wafer box with silicon wafers in No. 1 liquid, and then cleaning the wafer box in No. 2 liquid; the composition of the No. 1 liquid is as follows: ammonia water, hydrogen peroxide and pure water in a volume ratio of 1: 5-1: 5: 10, wherein the No. 2 liquid comprises the following components: hydrochloric acid, hydrogen peroxide and pure water in a volume ratio of 1: 5-1: 5: 10;
(3) and (3) putting the cleaned wafer box filled with the silicon wafers into a water tank with warm water, and slowly lifting the wafer box upwards to achieve the aim of drying.
In the process method, NOTCH (V-shaped groove reference surface) polishing means that a NOTCH positioning opening is formed in the edge of a 12-inch silicon wafer, the wafer cannot be polished by ordinary edge polishing, and the wafer needs to be polished by special NOTCH polishing cloth.
In the process of the present invention, in step (1), the NOTCH polishing parameters are: the rotation speed of the polishing cloth is 400-1000rpm, the polishing pressure is 1-10N, and the polishing time is 10-70 s; edge polishing involves four polishing surfaces (upper and lower inclined surfaces, front and rear vertical surfaces) whose polishing parameters are: the polishing pressure is 20-80N, the high-speed polishing time is 30-80s, the high-speed polishing rotation speed is 700rpm, the low-speed polishing time is 10-30s, and the low-speed polishing rotation speed is 100 rpm.
In the process method, in the step (2), the cleaning temperature of the cleaning with the No. 1 liquid and the cleaning temperature of the cleaning with the No. 2 liquid are respectively 75-90 ℃, and the cleaning time is respectively 5-15 min.
In the process method, in the step (3), the temperature of warm water in a water tank is 60-80 ℃, and the upward pulling speed is 1-10 mm/min.
