Description

Method for testing trace ion pollution on surface of semiconductor manufacturing equipment component
Technical Field
The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor detection, relates to detection of semiconductor manufacturing equipment components, and particularly relates to a method for testing trace ion pollution on the surfaces of semiconductor manufacturing equipment components.
Background
With the rapid development of the semiconductor industry, the research on the advanced semiconductor process is more and more urgent. Since various pollutants (metal ions, particles and the like) are easily introduced in the manufacturing process, the pollutants can change the size of a device, change the cleanliness of the surface and cause a pitted surface, and therefore the cleaning link of parts is more important. The high degree of contamination allows only a small number of parts to complete the process, resulting in increased costs. In addition, mobile ionic contaminants can alter the electrical properties of the device and even cause device failure, and thus effective cleaning of semiconductor manufacturing equipment is extremely critical to the semiconductor industry.
In order to control micro-pollution in the manufacturing environment and improve the product yield, the detection of the surface micro-pollution of the manufacturing equipment parts and the surface micro-pollution after the cleaning and regeneration of the parts is very important. The detection of the pollutant components on the surface of the part can judge whether the surface pollutants are effectively removed or not, and can help to develop a cleaning regeneration process with stronger pertinence, so that the reliability of the manufacturing process is improved.
A great part of micro-pollutants on the surface of a semiconductor manufacturing equipment part belongs to anion and cation pollutants, and a quantitative analysis technology is required. Among the conventional trace ion analysis methods, ion chromatography (hereinafter referred to as "IC") is a widely used one. The IC has the advantages of low detection limit and high detection precision down to the PPb level, and meets the detection requirement of a semiconductor manufacturing factory on the micro-pollution control of the surfaces of devices and equipment.
The current commonly used testing means for micro-pollution on the surface of the part is an integral soaking method, namely, the part is wholly soaked in a solution, the part is taken out after a certain time, and the soaking solution passes through IC (integrated circuit) for testing, so that the micro-pollution content on the surface of the part can be obtained. However, the size of the parts of the semiconductor manufacturing equipment is often large, a proper vessel is difficult to find for soaking, and the blank of the process is difficult to control; some parts only need to test the ionic pollutants in the polluted area and cannot be directly soaked; in addition, the long-time integral soaking can corrode the surface of the part, and the integral soaking cannot be directly carried out. These have all prevented effective performance of the micro-contamination test on the surface of the component. Therefore, the development of a method for testing the trace ion pollution on the surface of the semiconductor manufacturing equipment component is of great significance.
