Description

本発明は、複数枚の半導体基板に対して熱処理や成膜処理等の基板処理を同時に施す半導体装置の製造方法およびこの製造方法の実施に使用可能な半導体装置の製造装置に関するものである。   The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device that simultaneously performs substrate processing such as heat treatment and film formation processing on a plurality of semiconductor substrates, and to a manufacturing apparatus of a semiconductor device that can be used for implementing this manufacturing method.

複数枚の半導体基板(以下、ウェハと呼ぶ)に対して熱処理や成膜処理等の基板処理を同時に施す半導体装置の製造装置として、例えば、半導体装置の製造工程における成膜処理工程で用いられるCVD装置や、熱拡散工程やアニール工程等で用いられる熱処理装置がある(例えば、特許文献1参照)。   As a semiconductor device manufacturing apparatus that simultaneously performs substrate processing such as heat treatment and film formation processing on a plurality of semiconductor substrates (hereinafter referred to as wafers), for example, CVD used in a film formation processing step in the semiconductor device manufacturing process There is a heat treatment apparatus used in an apparatus, a thermal diffusion process, an annealing process, or the like (for example, see Patent Document 1).

このような半導体装置の製造装置は、基板処理時にウェハを保持する手段であって、ウェハ同士に所定間隔を設けて、複数枚のウェハをウェハ表面に垂直な方向に積層するウェハ保持手段(以下、ボートと呼ぶ)を備えている。   Such a semiconductor device manufacturing apparatus is a means for holding a wafer during substrate processing, and is provided with a predetermined interval between the wafers, and a wafer holding means for stacking a plurality of wafers in a direction perpendicular to the wafer surface (hereinafter referred to as a wafer holding means) Called a boat).

そして、基板処理時では、ボート内での製品用ウェハの温度等の処理条件を均一にするため、ボート内のうち、製品処理領域の隣の領域に、処理条件調整用ウェハ(以下、サイドダミーウェハと呼ぶ)が装填された状態で、基板処理がなされる。なお、このサイドダミーウェハとしては、例えば、シリコン等の製品用ウェハと同一材料で構成されたものが用いられる。
特開2005−116734号公報
At the time of substrate processing, in order to make the processing conditions such as the temperature of the product wafer in the boat uniform, a processing condition adjusting wafer (hereinafter referred to as a side dummy) is placed in the boat next to the product processing region. Substrate processing is performed in a state where a wafer is loaded. As the side dummy wafer, for example, a wafer made of the same material as that of a product wafer such as silicon is used.
JP-A-2005-116734

例えば、半導体装置の製造工程における成膜処理工程では、上記したボート内に製品用ウェハとサイドダミーウェハとを装填した状態で、成膜処理がなされることで、製品用ウェハ上に薄膜が形成される。そして、成膜処理後、ウェハ移載手段により、製品用ウェハをボートから取りはずされ、ウェハ搬送用のカセットへ移載される。製品用ウェハは、カセットに保持された状態で、次工程へ移送される。   For example, in the film forming process in the semiconductor device manufacturing process, a thin film is formed on the product wafer by performing the film forming process with the product wafer and the side dummy wafer loaded in the boat. Is done. Then, after the film formation process, the wafer for product is removed from the boat by the wafer transfer means and transferred to the cassette for wafer transfer. The product wafer is transferred to the next process while being held in the cassette.

このとき、サイドダミーウェハはボートから取り出して次工程へ送る必要はなく、ボートに装填した状態で、新しい製品用ウェハをボートに装填して成膜処理を連続して施すことができるが、この場合、図4に示すように、ボート2のサイドダミーウェハ1bを保持する保持部22において、ボート2とサイドダミーウェハ1b間に生成物31が形成され、ボート2とサイドダミーウェハ1bが固着し、サイドダミーウェハ1bをボート2から取り出せなくなる。なお、図4は、ボート2にサイドダミーウェハ1bが装填されているときのボート2のサイドダミーウェハ1bを保持している部分の断面図である。そして、サイドダミーウェハを無理に取り出そうとすると、サイドダミーウェハの破損、LPCVD装置へのダメージが発生し、生産性を著しく落とすという問題が発生する。   At this time, it is not necessary to take out the side dummy wafer from the boat and send it to the next process. In the state where the side dummy wafer is loaded into the boat, a new product wafer can be loaded into the boat and the film forming process can be continuously performed. In this case, as shown in FIG. 4, a product 31 is formed between the boat 2 and the side dummy wafer 1b in the holding portion 22 for holding the side dummy wafer 1b of the boat 2, and the boat 2 and the side dummy wafer 1b are fixed. The side dummy wafer 1b cannot be taken out from the boat 2. FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of a portion of the boat 2 that holds the side dummy wafer 1b when the side dummy wafer 1b is loaded on the boat 2. If the side dummy wafer is forcibly taken out, the side dummy wafer is damaged and the LPCVD apparatus is damaged, resulting in a problem that the productivity is significantly reduced.

このため、成膜処理後では、製品用ウェハと同様に、サイドダミーウェハもウェハ移載手段により、ボートからはずされ、サイドダミー用カセットへ移載される。そして、次回の成膜処理前に、サイドダミーウェハは、ウェハ移載手段により、サイドダミー用カセットからボートへ移載される。このようにして、再び、成膜処理がなされる。従来の半導体装置の製造装置では、このような動作制御がなされていた。   For this reason, after the film forming process, the side dummy wafer is removed from the boat by the wafer transfer means and transferred to the side dummy cassette in the same manner as the product wafer. Then, before the next film formation process, the side dummy wafer is transferred from the side dummy cassette to the boat by the wafer transfer means. In this way, the film forming process is performed again. In the conventional semiconductor device manufacturing apparatus, such operation control is performed.

なお、成膜処理後に、サイドダミーウェハをサイドダミー用カセットに移載するのは、複数回連続して成膜処理を施した場合、サイドダミーウェハが熱膨張することで、ボートに対するサイドダミーウェハの位置にズレが生じ、サイドダミーウェハがボートから落ちてしまうので、これを防止する等の理由による。すなわち、一旦、サイドダミー用カセットにサイドダミーウェハを収容して、再び、ウェハ移載手段でサイドダミーウェハを支持することで、ウェハ移載手段に対するサイドダミーウェハの支持位置を正規の位置に直し、サイドダミーウェハのボートに対する位置を直すことができるからである。   In addition, after the film formation process, the side dummy wafer is transferred to the side dummy cassette. When the film formation process is continuously performed a plurality of times, the side dummy wafer thermally expands, so that the side dummy wafer for the boat is transferred. This is because the side dummy wafer falls from the boat and is prevented from occurring. That is, once the side dummy wafer is accommodated in the side dummy cassette, and the side dummy wafer is supported again by the wafer transfer means, the support position of the side dummy wafer with respect to the wafer transfer means is corrected to the normal position. This is because the position of the side dummy wafer relative to the boat can be corrected.

一方、半導体装置の製造工程における熱拡散工程やアニール工程等の熱処理工程においても、成膜処理工程と同様に、上記したボート内に製品用ウェハとサイドダミーウェハとを装填した状態で、複数の製品用ウェハに対して熱処理が施された後、ウェハ移載手段により、製品用ウェハは、ボートから取りはずされ、ウェハ搬送用のカセットへ移載される。   On the other hand, in the heat treatment process such as the thermal diffusion process and the annealing process in the manufacturing process of the semiconductor device, a plurality of product wafers and side dummy wafers are loaded in the boat as described above in the same manner as the film formation process. After the heat treatment is performed on the product wafer, the product wafer is removed from the boat by the wafer transfer means and transferred to the wafer transfer cassette.

このとき、サイドダミーウェハをボートから取り外すことなく、複数回加熱処理を施すと、上記と同様に、サイドダミーウェハが熱膨張することで、ボートに対するサイドダミーウェハの位置にズレが生じてしまうので、サイドダミーウェハも、ウェハ移載手段により、ボートからはずされ、サイドダミー用カセットへ移載される。そして、次回の熱処理前に、サイドダミーウェハは、ウェハ移載手段により、サイドダミー用カセットからボートへ移載される。このようにして、再び、熱処理がなされる。   At this time, if the heat treatment is performed a plurality of times without removing the side dummy wafer from the boat, the side dummy wafer is thermally expanded in the same manner as described above, thereby causing a shift in the position of the side dummy wafer with respect to the boat. The side dummy wafer is also removed from the boat by the wafer transfer means and transferred to the side dummy cassette. Then, before the next heat treatment, the side dummy wafer is transferred from the side dummy cassette to the boat by the wafer transfer means. In this way, the heat treatment is performed again.

しかし、上記したように、製品用ウェハの成膜処理もしくは熱処理の完了ごとに、サイドダミーウェハをボートの外へ取り出し、次の成膜処理もしくは熱処理前に、再び、サイドダミーウェハをボートへ戻すという動作がなされている間は、成膜処理、熱処理等の基板処理ができない。言い換えると、これらの動作も1回の基板処理に含まれるため、1回の基板処理にかかる時間が長くなり、生産性が悪かった。   However, as described above, each time the film forming process or heat treatment of the product wafer is completed, the side dummy wafer is taken out of the boat, and the side dummy wafer is returned to the boat again before the next film forming process or heat treatment. While the operation is being performed, substrate processing such as film formation or heat treatment cannot be performed. In other words, since these operations are also included in one substrate processing, the time required for one substrate processing becomes long, and the productivity is poor.

本発明は、上記点に鑑み、従来よりも生産性を向上させることができる半導体装置の製造方法および半導体装置の製造装置を提供することを目的とする。   In view of the above points, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device and a device for manufacturing a semiconductor device, which can improve productivity as compared with the related art.

上記目的を達成するため、本発明に係る半導体装置の製造方法では、基板処理工程を実施した後、製品用半導体基板を保持手段から降ろし、別の製品用半導体基板を保持手段に保持させる工程と、基板処理工程を実施した後、保持手段の温度調整用半導体基板と接触する部分と、温度調整用半導体基板とを引き離すように、温度調整用半導体基板を保持手段内で動かした後、温度調整用半導体基板を保持手段に保持させる工程とを有することを特徴としている。   In order to achieve the above object, in the method of manufacturing a semiconductor device according to the present invention, after performing the substrate processing step, the step of lowering the product semiconductor substrate from the holding means and holding the other product semiconductor substrate on the holding means; After performing the substrate processing step, the temperature adjustment semiconductor substrate is moved in the holding means so as to separate the temperature adjusting semiconductor substrate from the portion of the holding means that contacts the temperature adjustment semiconductor substrate, and then the temperature adjustment is performed. And a step of holding the semiconductor substrate for holding by the holding means.

本発明では、このように、製品用半導体基板への基板処理が完了したとき、温度調整用半導体基板を保持手段の外へ取り出すことなく、温度調整用半導体基板を保持手段内で動かすようにしているので、温度調整用半導体基板を保持手段の外へ取り出して、再び、保持手段へ戻す場合と比較して、1回の製品処理にかかる時間を短縮できる。   In the present invention, when the substrate processing on the product semiconductor substrate is completed as described above, the temperature adjustment semiconductor substrate is moved in the holding means without taking the temperature adjustment semiconductor substrate out of the holding means. Therefore, the time required for one product process can be shortened as compared with the case where the temperature adjusting semiconductor substrate is taken out of the holding means and returned to the holding means again.

なお、製品用半導体基板を交換する工程と、温度調整用半導体基板を動かす工程は、どちらを先に行っても良い。   Note that either the step of replacing the product semiconductor substrate or the step of moving the temperature adjustment semiconductor substrate may be performed first.

具体的には、温度調整用半導体基板(1b)を保持手段(2)内で動かすときでは、例えば、温度調整用半導体基板を持ち上げた後、温度調整用半導体基板を下げる動作を行うことができる。また、例えば、温度調整用半導体基板を持ち上げた後、温度調整用半導体基板を回転させ、温度調整用半導体基板を下げる動作を行うこともできる。   Specifically, when the temperature adjustment semiconductor substrate (1b) is moved in the holding means (2), for example, after the temperature adjustment semiconductor substrate is lifted, an operation of lowering the temperature adjustment semiconductor substrate can be performed. . Further, for example, after the temperature adjustment semiconductor substrate is lifted, the temperature adjustment semiconductor substrate can be rotated to lower the temperature adjustment semiconductor substrate.

本発明に係る半導体装置の製造装置は、基板処理後に、保持手段の温度調整用半導体基板と接触する部分と、温度調整用半導体基板とを引き離すように、温度調整用半導体基板を保持手段内で動かした後、温度調整用半導体基板を保持手段に保持させる引き離し手段を備えることを特徴としている。   In the semiconductor device manufacturing apparatus according to the present invention, after the substrate processing, the temperature adjusting semiconductor substrate is held in the holding means so as to separate the temperature adjusting semiconductor substrate from the portion of the holding means that contacts the temperature adjusting semiconductor substrate. It is characterized by comprising a separating means for holding the temperature adjusting semiconductor substrate by the holding means after the movement.

この装置を用いることで、本発明に係る半導体装置の製造方法を実施できる。例えば、化学的気相成長法によって、複数の半導体ウェハ上に薄膜を同時に形成する半導体製造装置(CVD装置)に、本発明を適用できる。   By using this apparatus, the method for manufacturing a semiconductor device according to the present invention can be implemented. For example, the present invention can be applied to a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus (CVD apparatus) that simultaneously forms thin films on a plurality of semiconductor wafers by chemical vapor deposition.

(第1実施形態)
本実施形態では、半導体装置の製造装置としての化学的気相成長法による複数ウェハ同時成膜装置(以下、バッチ式CVD装置と呼ぶ)に本発明を適用した例を説明する。図1に、本発明の第1実施形態におけるバッチ式CVD装置の概略構成を示す。
(First embodiment)
In the present embodiment, an example will be described in which the present invention is applied to a multiple wafer simultaneous film formation apparatus (hereinafter referred to as a batch type CVD apparatus) by a chemical vapor deposition method as a semiconductor device manufacturing apparatus. In FIG. 1, schematic structure of the batch type CVD apparatus in 1st Embodiment of this invention is shown.

本実施形態のバッチ式CVD装置は、縦型ホットウォールLP(減圧式)CVD装置であり、図1に示すように、成膜処理時に用いられ、複数のウェハ1を保持する保持手段としてのボート2と、内部にボート2を収容し、ボート2に保持されたウェハ1に対して成膜処理するための処理室としての炉体3と、炉体3の周囲に配置され、ボート2に保持されたウェハ1を加熱する加熱手段としてのヒータ4と、炉体1の内部に成膜用の原料ガスを導入するガス導入管5と、炉体1の内部からガスを外部に排気するガス排気管6と、ガス排気管6に接続され、炉体1の内部からガスを排気するためのポンプ7と、ウェハを移載する移載手段としてのウェハ移載機8とを主に備えている。   The batch type CVD apparatus according to the present embodiment is a vertical hot wall LP (decompression type) CVD apparatus, and is used at the time of film formation as shown in FIG. 1, and is a boat as a holding means for holding a plurality of wafers 1. 2, a boat 2 is accommodated therein, and a furnace body 3 as a processing chamber for performing film formation processing on the wafer 1 held in the boat 2, and disposed around the furnace body 3 and held in the boat 2 A heater 4 as a heating means for heating the wafer 1, a gas introduction pipe 5 for introducing a raw material gas for film formation into the furnace body 1, and gas exhaust for exhausting gas from the inside of the furnace body 1 to the outside A pipe 6, a pump 7 connected to the gas exhaust pipe 6 for exhausting gas from the inside of the furnace body 1, and a wafer transfer device 8 as a transfer means for transferring a wafer are mainly provided. .

ここで、ボート2は、縦型であり、ウェハ1同士に所定間隔を設けて、複数枚のウェハ1を鉛直方向(図中上下方向)に積層した状態で、複数枚のウェハ1を保持する。ボート2にウェハ1が保持された状態のとき、複数枚のウェハ1は、ウェハ表面に垂直な方向に積層された状態となる。   Here, the boat 2 is a vertical type, and a plurality of wafers 1 are held in a state where a plurality of wafers 1 are stacked in a vertical direction (vertical direction in the drawing) with a predetermined interval between the wafers 1. . When the wafer 1 is held on the boat 2, the plurality of wafers 1 are stacked in a direction perpendicular to the wafer surface.

ボート2は、エレベータ機構により、炉体3の内部とおよび炉体3の下方の位置との間を図中の矢印のように、上昇および下降するようになっている。ボート2は、例えば、成膜処理時では、上昇して、炉体3の内部に挿入され、成膜処理が終了したとき、炉体3の下方に下降して、炉体3の外に出される。   The boat 2 is moved up and down by an elevator mechanism between the inside of the furnace body 3 and a position below the furnace body 3 as indicated by arrows in the drawing. For example, the boat 2 rises and is inserted into the furnace body 3 at the time of the film formation process, and descends below the furnace body 3 and comes out of the furnace body 3 when the film formation process is completed. It is.

また、ボート2が炉体3に収容され、成膜処理が実施されているとき、炉体3の内部において、温度やガス流れ等の成膜処理条件が均一な領域と不均一な領域とが存在する。このため、ボート2のうち、成膜処理条件が均一となる領域(以下、製品処理領域と呼ぶ)2aに、製品となる製品用ウェハ1aが保持され、その領域2aの上下両隣に位置し、成膜処理条件が不均一となる領域2b、2c(以下、上部サイドダミー領域2b、下部サイドダミー領域2cと呼ぶ)に、温度調整用半導体基板としてのサイドダミーウェハ1bが保持される。   Further, when the boat 2 is housed in the furnace body 3 and a film forming process is being performed, a region where the film forming process conditions such as temperature and gas flow are uniform and a region within the furnace body 3 are uneven. Exists. For this reason, the product wafer 1a to be a product is held in an area 2a (hereinafter referred to as a product processing area) 2a of the boat 2 where the film forming process conditions are uniform, and is located on both upper and lower sides of the area 2a. Side dummy wafer 1b as a temperature adjusting semiconductor substrate is held in regions 2b and 2c (hereinafter referred to as upper side dummy region 2b and lower side dummy region 2c) where the film forming process conditions are not uniform.

例えば、ボート2のうち、製品処理領域2aには製品用ウェハ1aが150枚保持され、上部サイドダミー領域2b、下部サイドダミー領域2cには、それぞれ、サイドダミーウェハ1bが7枚、10枚保持される。なお、ボート2における製品処理領域2aと、サイドダミー領域2b、2cとは、炉体3の内部温度を測定することで判断され、例えば、設定温度よりも低い領域を、サイドダミー領域とする。   For example, in the boat 2, 150 product wafers 1a are held in the product processing area 2a, and 7 side dummy wafers 1b are held in the upper side dummy area 2b and the lower side dummy area 2c, respectively. Is done. The product processing area 2a and the side dummy areas 2b and 2c in the boat 2 are determined by measuring the internal temperature of the furnace body 3, and for example, an area lower than the set temperature is set as a side dummy area.

図2にボートの部分拡大斜視図を示す。図2に示すように、複数の支柱21を備えており、この支柱21には、ウェハ1を保持する保持部としての溝22が設けられている。この溝22に、ウェハ1が挿入されることで、ウェハ1が保持される。図2に示すように、例えば、支柱が4本の場合では、ウェハ1は4カ所で保持されることとなる。   FIG. 2 shows a partially enlarged perspective view of the boat. As shown in FIG. 2, a plurality of pillars 21 are provided, and the pillars 21 are provided with grooves 22 as holding parts for holding the wafer 1. The wafer 1 is held by inserting the wafer 1 into the groove 22. As shown in FIG. 2, for example, when there are four support columns, the wafer 1 is held at four locations.

また、図1に示すように、ウェハ移載機8には、ウェハ1を直接支えるウェハ載置具としてのツイーザ9が設けられている。ウェハ移載機8およびツイーザ9の動きは、ウェハ移載機コントローラ10によって、プログラム制御されるようになっている。基本的には、ウェハ移載機8が、図中に示す矢印のように、鉛直方向(図中上下方向)と水平方向(図中左右方向)に可動し、ボート2の高さ方向に沿って移動したり、成膜処理前もしくは成膜処理後の製品用ウェハ1aが複数収容される収容器としての製品用カセット11およびサイドダミーウェハ1bが収容されるサイドダミーウェハ用カセット12と、ボート2との間を移動したりする。このウェハ移載機8の動作によって、ツイーザ9が動作する。なお、ツイーザ9に対して、ウェハ移載機8とは独立して、鉛直方向および左右方向の可動機構を設けても良い。   As shown in FIG. 1, the wafer transfer device 8 is provided with a tweezer 9 as a wafer mounting tool that directly supports the wafer 1. The movements of the wafer transfer device 8 and the tweezer 9 are program-controlled by a wafer transfer device controller 10. Basically, the wafer transfer device 8 is movable in the vertical direction (up and down direction in the figure) and the horizontal direction (left and right direction in the figure) as indicated by the arrows in the figure, and along the height direction of the boat 2. A product cassette 11 as a container for storing a plurality of product wafers 1a before or after the film forming process and a side dummy wafer cassette 12 for storing side dummy wafers 1b, and a boat. Move between two. The tweezer 9 operates by the operation of the wafer transfer device 8. The tweezer 9 may be provided with a movable mechanism in the vertical direction and the left-right direction independently of the wafer transfer device 8.

次に、上記した構成のLPCVD装置を用いた成膜処理について説明する。   Next, a film forming process using the LPCVD apparatus having the above configuration will be described.

まず、ボート2に製品用ウェハ1aとサイドダミーウェハ1bを装填する(図1参照)。このとき、炉体3の下方にボート2を位置させた状態で、製品用カセット11からボート2の製品処理領域2aに、製品用ウェハ1aをウェハ移載機8により移載すると共に、サイドダミーウェハ用カセット12からボート2の上部、下部サイドダミー領域2b、2cに、サイドダミーウェハ1bをウェハ移載機8により移載する。そして、ボート2を上昇させて、ボート2を炉体3の内部に挿入する。   First, the product wafer 1a and the side dummy wafer 1b are loaded into the boat 2 (see FIG. 1). At this time, with the boat 2 positioned below the furnace body 3, the product wafer 1 a is transferred from the product cassette 11 to the product processing area 2 a of the boat 2 by the wafer transfer device 8 and side dummy The side dummy wafer 1b is transferred from the wafer cassette 12 to the upper and lower side dummy areas 2b and 2c of the boat 2 by the wafer transfer device 8. Then, the boat 2 is raised and the boat 2 is inserted into the furnace body 3.

その後、製品用ウェハ1aに対して成膜処理を施す。具体的には、炉体3の内部をポンプ5により減圧し、ヒータ4により、炉体3の内部の製品用ウェハ1aを加熱すると共に、成膜用ガスをガス導入管5から炉体3の内部に一定時間導入する。このとき、上部、下部サイドダミー領域2b、2cにサイドダミーウェハ1bが装填されているため、ボート2の製品処理領域2a内では、温度やガス流れ(ガス流量、ガス濃度)等の処理条件が均一となる。この結果、複数の製品用ウェハ1a上に所望の薄膜が同時に形成される。   Thereafter, a film forming process is performed on the product wafer 1a. Specifically, the inside of the furnace body 3 is depressurized by the pump 5, the product wafer 1 a inside the furnace body 3 is heated by the heater 4, and the film forming gas is supplied from the gas introduction pipe 5 to the furnace body 3. It is introduced inside for a certain time. At this time, since the side dummy wafer 1b is loaded in the upper and lower side dummy regions 2b and 2c, processing conditions such as temperature and gas flow (gas flow rate and gas concentration) are present in the product processing region 2a of the boat 2. It becomes uniform. As a result, desired thin films are simultaneously formed on the plurality of product wafers 1a.

成膜処理後、ボート2を炉体3から下降させ、ウェハ移載機8により、製品用ウェハ1aをボート2から取り出し、製品用カセット11に製品用ウェハ1aを移載する。その後、製品用ウェハ1aは、製品用カセット11ごと次の工程へ移送される。このようにして、1回の成膜処理が完了する。   After the film forming process, the boat 2 is lowered from the furnace body 3, the product wafer 1 a is taken out from the boat 2 by the wafer transfer device 8, and the product wafer 1 a is transferred to the product cassette 11. Thereafter, the product wafer 1a is transferred to the next step together with the product cassette 11. In this way, one film formation process is completed.

そして、別の製品用カセット11から別の製品用ウェハ1aをボート2に移載して、次の成膜処理を実施する。このようにして、上記した成膜処理を繰り返し実施する。   Then, another product wafer 1a is transferred from the other product cassette 11 to the boat 2, and the next film forming process is performed. In this way, the above film forming process is repeatedly performed.

ここで、サイドダミーウェハ1bの取り扱いについて説明する。成膜処理後において、製品用ウェハ1aをボート2から取り出すが、サイドダミーウェハ1bについては、ボート2から取り出さず、ボート2のサイドダミーウェハ1bと接触している部分と、サイドダミーウェハ1bとを引き離すように、サイドダミーウェハ1bをボート2内で動かした後、サイドダミーウェハ1bを再びボート2に載せる。これを、例えば、ボート2に装填されている製品用ウェハ1aを別の製品用ウェハ1aに交換する前に行う。   Here, handling of the side dummy wafer 1b will be described. After the film forming process, the product wafer 1a is taken out from the boat 2, but the side dummy wafer 1b is not taken out from the boat 2, but is in contact with the side dummy wafer 1b of the boat 2, and the side dummy wafer 1b. After the side dummy wafer 1b is moved in the boat 2 so as to be separated from each other, the side dummy wafer 1b is placed on the boat 2 again. This is performed, for example, before the product wafer 1a loaded in the boat 2 is replaced with another product wafer 1a.

図3(a)〜(e)に、このときのツイーザ9およびサイドダミーウェハ1bの動きを説明するための断面図を示す。   3A to 3E are sectional views for explaining the movement of the tweezer 9 and the side dummy wafer 1b at this time.

具体的には、図3(a)に示すように、ウェハ移載機8を移動させて、ツイーザ9をサイドダミーウェハ1bの下に位置させる。   Specifically, as shown in FIG. 3A, the wafer transfer device 8 is moved to position the tweezer 9 below the side dummy wafer 1b.

続いて、図3(b)に示すように、ウェハ移載機8を上方向に移動させることで、ツイーザ9をサイドダミーウェハ1bに接触させる。   Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 3B, the tweezer 9 is brought into contact with the side dummy wafer 1b by moving the wafer transfer device 8 upward.

続いて、図3(c)に示すように、ウェハ移載機8を水平方向に移動させず、上方向にわずかに移動させることで、サイドダミーウェハ1bをツイーザ9によりその場ですくい上げる。このとき、ボート2の溝22は、サイドダミーウェハ1bを持ち上げることができるクリアランスを有している。例えば、1つの溝22の上下方向での長さが4.5mmであり、サイドダミーウェハ1bの厚さが0.625mmのとき、サイドダミーウェハ1bを1〜2mm上昇させる。   Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 3C, the side dummy wafer 1b is scooped up on the spot by the tweezer 9 by moving the wafer transfer device 8 slightly in the upward direction without moving in the horizontal direction. At this time, the groove 22 of the boat 2 has a clearance capable of lifting the side dummy wafer 1b. For example, when the length of one groove 22 in the vertical direction is 4.5 mm and the thickness of the side dummy wafer 1b is 0.625 mm, the side dummy wafer 1b is raised by 1 to 2 mm.

なお、サイドダミーウェハ1bの熱膨張により、ボート2におけるサイドダミーウェハ1bの位置がずれる場合があるので、サイドダミーウェハ1bを持ち上げただけで、ボート2に対するサイドダミーウェハ1bの位置合わせができるように、ツイーザ9のウェハ保持面に、位置合わせ用の溝を設けておくことが好ましい。これにより、サイドダミーウェハ1bをツイーザ9により持ち上げた際、サイドダミーウェハ1bを位置合わせ用溝に沿って、ツイーザ9の保持面上を移動させて(例えば、センタリングさせて)、サイドダミーウェハ1bを正規の位置に戻すことができる。   In addition, since the position of the side dummy wafer 1b in the boat 2 may be shifted due to thermal expansion of the side dummy wafer 1b, it is possible to align the side dummy wafer 1b with respect to the boat 2 simply by lifting the side dummy wafer 1b. In addition, it is preferable to provide an alignment groove on the wafer holding surface of the tweezer 9. As a result, when the side dummy wafer 1b is lifted by the tweezer 9, the side dummy wafer 1b is moved (for example, centered) on the holding surface of the tweezer 9 along the alignment groove. Can be returned to the normal position.

続いて、図3(d)に示すように、ウェハ移載機8を下方向に移動させ、ツイーザ9を下方向に移動させることで、ただちにサイドダミーウェハ1bをボート2に戻す。   Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 3 (d), the wafer transfer device 8 is moved downward, and the tweezer 9 is moved downward to immediately return the side dummy wafer 1 b to the boat 2.

続いて、図3(e)に示すように、ツイーザ9がサイドダミーウェハ1bを離すように、さらに、ウェハ移載機8を下方向に移動させた後、ウェハ移載機8を原位置に戻す。   Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 3E, after the wafer transfer device 8 is further moved downward so that the tweezer 9 separates the side dummy wafer 1b, the wafer transfer device 8 is returned to the original position. return.

このようにしてサイドダミーウェハ1bとボート2とをわずかに離間させる工程を、成膜処理が1回終了するごとに実施する。これにより、サイドダミーウェハ1bとボート2との固着を防止できる。   The step of slightly separating the side dummy wafer 1b and the boat 2 in this way is performed every time the film forming process is completed once. Thereby, sticking of the side dummy wafer 1b and the boat 2 can be prevented.

なお、上記したウェハ移載機8の動作は、成膜処理が完了するたびに、サイドダミーウェハ1bをボート2からサイドダミー用カセット12に移載し、次の成膜処理前に、再び、サイドダミーウェハ1bをサイドダミー用カセット12からボート2に移載するという従来のサイドダミーウェハ1bの取り扱い制御プログラムを変更することで、実施可能である。すなわち、(1)ツイーザ9をサイドダミーウェハ1bの下に位置させ、(2)ツイーザ9によりサイドダミーウェハ1bをすくい上げ、(3)そのままツイーザ9を水平方向に移動させることで、サイドダミーウェハ1bをボート2からカセット11へ移載し、再び、(4)ツイーザ9にサイドダミーウェハ1bを載せて、カセット11から取り出し、サイドダミーウェハ1bをボート2の溝22の位置まで移動させ、(5)ツイーザ9を下に移動させてボート2にサイドダミーウェハ1bを保持させ、(6)ツイーザ9を原位置に戻すというサイドダミーウェハ1bの取り扱い制御に対して、(3)、(4)を省略する変更を行う。   The operation of the wafer transfer device 8 described above is performed every time the film forming process is completed, the side dummy wafer 1b is transferred from the boat 2 to the side dummy cassette 12, and before the next film forming process, This can be implemented by changing the conventional side dummy wafer 1b handling control program for transferring the side dummy wafer 1b from the side dummy cassette 12 to the boat 2. That is, (1) the tweezer 9 is positioned below the side dummy wafer 1b, (2) the side dummy wafer 1b is scooped up by the tweezer 9, and (3) the tweezer 9 is moved in the horizontal direction as it is. Is transferred from the boat 2 to the cassette 11, and again (4) the side dummy wafer 1b is placed on the tweezer 9 and taken out from the cassette 11, and the side dummy wafer 1b is moved to the position of the groove 22 of the boat 2, (5 ) Move the tweezer 9 downward to hold the side dummy wafer 1b on the boat 2, and (6) For the side dummy wafer 1b handling control to return the tweezer 9 to the original position, (3), (4) Make changes that are omitted.

以上説明したように、本実施形態では、製品用ウェハ1aへの成膜処理が完了したとき、サイドダミーウェハ1bをボート2の外へ取り出すことなく、サイドダミーウェハ1bとボート2とを離間させるように、サイドダミーウェハ1bをボート2内で、わずかに動かしているので、従来のように、サイドダミーウェハ1bをボート2の外へ取り出して、再び、ボート2へ戻す場合と比較して、サイドダミーウェハ1bを炉外のカセット11へ移送し、さらに再びボート2へ挿入することが不要となるので、1回の製品処理にかかる時間を短縮できる。この結果、LPCVD装置のスループットを改善できる。   As described above, in this embodiment, when the film forming process on the product wafer 1a is completed, the side dummy wafer 1b and the boat 2 are separated without taking the side dummy wafer 1b out of the boat 2. Thus, since the side dummy wafer 1b is slightly moved in the boat 2, as compared with the case where the side dummy wafer 1b is taken out of the boat 2 and returned to the boat 2 as in the prior art, Since it becomes unnecessary to transfer the side dummy wafer 1b to the cassette 11 outside the furnace and insert it again into the boat 2, the time required for one product processing can be shortened. As a result, the throughput of the LPCVD apparatus can be improved.

なお、ある程度、サイドダミーウェハ1bに生成物が生成したときに、サイドダミーウェハ1bを交換する。このとき、上記した(1)〜(6)の制御を実施する。   When a product is generated on the side dummy wafer 1b to some extent, the side dummy wafer 1b is replaced. At this time, the above-described controls (1) to (6) are performed.

(他の実施形態)
(1)上記した実施形態では、上記したサイドダミーウェハ1bをボート2内で、わずかに動かすという工程を、成膜処理が1回終了するごとに実施する場合を例として説明したが、成膜処理を複数回(製品用ウェハを入れ替えたら1回カウントする)した後に、実施しても良い。ただし、サイドダミーウェハ1bのボート2への固着を防止できる頻度で実施する。
(Other embodiments)
(1) In the above-described embodiment, the case where the step of slightly moving the side dummy wafer 1b in the boat 2 is performed every time the film forming process is completed is described as an example. The processing may be carried out after performing the processing a plurality of times (counting once when the product wafer is replaced). However, it is performed at a frequency that can prevent the side dummy wafer 1b from sticking to the boat 2.

(2)上記した実施形態では、サイドダミーウェハ1bとボート2との生成物による固着を防ぐためのサイドダミーウェハ1bの動きとして、図3(a)〜(e)に示すように、サイドダミーウェハ1bを、上昇させ、下降させる動作を例として説明したが、上昇と下降の間に、回転動作を加えても良い。すなわち、図3(c)に示すように、サイドダミーウェハ1bを持ち上げた後、その状態で、サイドダミーウェハ1bを回転させ、その後、図3(d)に示すように、サイドダミーウェハ1bをボート2に戻すようにしても良い。   (2) In the above-described embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3A to 3E, the side dummy wafer 1b is moved as a movement of the side dummy wafer 1b and the boat 2 to prevent the product from sticking. Although the operation of raising and lowering the wafer 1b has been described as an example, a rotation operation may be added between the raising and lowering. That is, as shown in FIG. 3C, after the side dummy wafer 1b is lifted, the side dummy wafer 1b is rotated in that state, and then the side dummy wafer 1b is turned as shown in FIG. You may make it return to the boat 2. FIG.

これにより、熱膨張によりサイドダミーウェハ1bに位置ズレが生じた場合であって、オリフラの位置とボート2の支柱21の位置とが一致してしまったとき、サイドダミーウェハ1bがボート2に保持されなくなってしまうが、このように、サイドダミーウェハ1bを回転させ、正規の位置に戻すことで、このような事態を回避できる。   As a result, when the positional deviation occurs in the side dummy wafer 1b due to thermal expansion and the position of the orientation flat matches the position of the column 21 of the boat 2, the side dummy wafer 1b is held in the boat 2. However, such a situation can be avoided by rotating the side dummy wafer 1b and returning it to the normal position.

また、サイドダミーウェハ1bは、上記したように、複数箇所(図2では、4箇所)の端部がボート2によって支持され、その支持される箇所に、生成物31が生成することから、サイドダミーウェハ1bを回転させ、サイドダミーウェハ1bとボート2の接触位置を意図的に変更することで、サイドダミーウェハ1bにおける生成物31の生成箇所を変更させることができる。これにより、サイドダミーウェハ1bを回転させなかった場合と比較して、同じサイドダミーウェハ1bを長期間使用でき、サイドダミーウェハ1bの交換時期を遅らせることができる。   Further, as described above, the side dummy wafer 1b is supported by the boat 2 at a plurality of locations (four locations in FIG. 2), and the product 31 is generated at the supported locations. By rotating the dummy wafer 1b and intentionally changing the contact position between the side dummy wafer 1b and the boat 2, the generation location of the product 31 on the side dummy wafer 1b can be changed. Thereby, compared with the case where the side dummy wafer 1b is not rotated, the same side dummy wafer 1b can be used for a long period of time, and the replacement time of the side dummy wafer 1b can be delayed.

このようなサイドダミーウェハ1bを回転させる動作は、例えば、図示しないが、ツイーザ9のウェハ保持面に回転用ピンを設けておき、ツイーザ9でサイドダミーウェハ1bを持ち上げ、さらに、回転用ピンでもウェハを持ち上げ、回転用ピンを回転させることで実施可能である。   Such an operation of rotating the side dummy wafer 1b is, for example, not shown, but a rotation pin is provided on the wafer holding surface of the tweezer 9, the side dummy wafer 1b is lifted by the tweezer 9, and the rotation pin is also used. This can be implemented by lifting the wafer and rotating the rotation pins.

なお、サイドダミーウェハ1bの動きとしては、これらに限らず、サイドダミーウェハ1bがボート2の内部から出ない範囲であれば、他の動きであっても良い。ここでいう、ボート2の内部から出ない範囲とは、ボート2の保持部としての溝22の中に、サイドダミーウェハ1bが位置する範囲を意味する。   The movement of the side dummy wafer 1b is not limited to these, and other movements may be used as long as the side dummy wafer 1b does not come out of the boat 2. The range which does not come out of the inside of the boat 2 here means a range where the side dummy wafer 1b is located in the groove 22 as a holding portion of the boat 2.

(3)上記した実施形態では、1つのウェハ移載機8により、製品用ウェハ1aと、サイドダミーウェハ1bとを移動させる場合を例として説明したが、製品用ウェハ1a用と、サイドダミーウェハ1b用のウェハ移載機8を別々に設置しても良い。   (3) In the above-described embodiment, the case where the product wafer 1a and the side dummy wafer 1b are moved by one wafer transfer device 8 has been described as an example, but the product wafer 1a and the side dummy wafer are moved. You may install the wafer transfer machine 8 for 1b separately.

(4)上記した実施形態では、バッチ式縦型ホットウォールLPCVD装置を例として説明したが、これに限らず、縦型を横型に変更した装置や、他の方式のCVD装置においても本発明を適用できる。また、CVD装置に限らず、複数の製品用ウェハを同時に加熱処理する基板処理を実施する半導体装置の製造装置全般に、本発明は適用可能である。   (4) In the above-described embodiment, the batch type vertical hot wall LPCVD apparatus has been described as an example. However, the present invention is not limited to this, and the present invention can be applied to an apparatus in which the vertical type is changed to a horizontal type and other types of CVD apparatuses. Applicable. Further, the present invention is not limited to a CVD apparatus, and can be applied to all semiconductor device manufacturing apparatuses that perform substrate processing for simultaneously heat-treating a plurality of product wafers.
