Description

Polishing composition for silicon substrate
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a polishing composition for a silicon substrate, a polishing method using the same, and a method for manufacturing a semiconductor substrate.
Background
As a polishing composition used for polishing a silicon substrate for manufacturing a semiconductor substrate, a polishing composition containing silica particles is known. In such a polishing composition, defects (LPD: light point defects, bright point defects) occur on the surface of the silicon substrate due to aggregation of silica particles, and clogging of a filter is a problem when the polishing composition is filtered to remove aggregates (for example, refer to japanese unexamined patent publication No. 2008-53415). Further, polishing liquid compositions containing a water-soluble polymer compound for improving the polishing rate are known (see JP-A2007-19093 and JP-A11-116942).
In japanese patent application laid-open No. 2008-53415, a polishing composition containing at least one water-soluble polymer selected from polyvinylpyrrolidone and poly-N-vinylformamide and a base is proposed in order to reduce LPD.
Japanese patent application laid-open No. 2007-19093 proposes a polishing composition containing a water-soluble polymer compound containing a nitrogen-containing group such as polyethyleneimine.
In Japanese patent application laid-open No. 11-116942, a polishing composition containing Hydroxyethylcellulose (HEC) is proposed in order to improve the polishing rate and the wettability of the surface of the object to be polished.
Disclosure of Invention
In one embodiment, the present invention relates to a polishing composition for a silicon substrate, which contains the following component a and the following component B, and has a pH of greater than 8.5 and 14 or less.
Component A: silica particles
Component B: amino group-containing water-soluble polymer having pKa of 5 to 8.5 inclusive
The present invention relates to a polishing method for a silicon substrate, which comprises a step of polishing a silicon substrate to be polished with the polishing composition of the present invention.
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor substrate, including: polishing a silicon substrate to be polished with the polishing composition of the present invention; and a step of cleaning the polished silicon substrate.
Detailed Description
However, the polishing rate is not satisfactory for polishing using the polishing liquid composition of Japanese patent application laid-open No. 2008-53415.
When the polishing composition of JP-A2007-19093 is used, there is a problem that silica particles are aggregated by a water-soluble polymer compound containing a nitrogen-containing group, and the surface state of a silicon substrate such as scratches is deteriorated.
When the polishing composition containing HEC of japanese patent application laid-open No. 11-116942 is used, aggregates of silica particles are likely to be generated, and even if the polishing composition is filtered, clogging of the filter occurs immediately, so that there is a problem in that the polishing composition cannot be filtered immediately before polishing.
In general, the polishing composition is stored and transported in the form of a concentrate, and storage stability in the form of a concentrate is also required.
The invention provides a polishing liquid composition for silicon substrate, which can improve polishing speed and storage stability of concentrate, and a polishing method for silicon substrate and a manufacturing method for semiconductor substrate using the same.
The invention is based on the following insight: by using a polishing composition for a silicon substrate, which contains silica particles and an amino group-containing water-soluble polymer having a pKa of 5 to 8.5, and has a pH of more than 8.5 and 14, the silicon substrate can be polished at high speed, and the storage stability of the concentrate is excellent.
That is, the present invention relates to a polishing composition for a silicon substrate (hereinafter, also referred to as "polishing composition of the present invention") containing the following component a and the following component B, and having a pH of more than 8.5 and 14 or less.
Component A: silica particles
Component B: amino group-containing water-soluble polymer having pKa of 5 to 8.5 inclusive
According to one or more embodiments of the present invention, a polishing composition for a silicon substrate that can achieve both an improvement in polishing rate and storage stability of a concentrate can be provided.
The details of the effect expression mechanism of the present invention are not clear, but are presumed as follows.
Under alkaline polishing conditions with a pH value of more than 8.5 and less than 14, both the silicon dioxide abrasive particles and the silicon substrate to be polished have negative charges, and electrostatic repulsive force is always generated. In order to increase the polishing rate, it is effective to alleviate the electrostatic repulsive force, and the negative charges on both surfaces can be alleviated by the cationic substance, but in doing so, the following new problems arise: agglomeration of silica particles occurs, and the storage stability of the polishing composition, particularly the storage stability of the concentrate of the polishing composition, is lowered.
Accordingly, focusing on the water-soluble polymer having an amino group, it is considered that the water-soluble polymer having an amino group (component B) having a pKa smaller than the pH of the polishing composition has low cationicity, and is adsorbed to silica particles (component a) and a silicon substrate to be polished due to van der waals force of the whole molecule as a main factor, compared with electrostatic interaction with the amino group. Therefore, it is considered that the electrostatic repulsive force between the silica particles (component a) and the silicon substrate to be polished can be moderately relaxed, and the aggregation of the silica particles can be suppressed, thereby achieving both the improvement of the polishing rate and the storage stability.
However, the present invention is not limited to these mechanisms.
