Description
本発明は、縦型ウエハボートに関し、半導体製造プロセスで用いられる縦型ウエハボートに関する。 The present invention relates to a vertical wafer boat, and more particularly to a vertical wafer boat used in a semiconductor manufacturing process.
半導体製造プロセスのうちで加熱を伴う工程、例えば、LP−CVD(low pressure−chemical vapor deposition:低圧CVD)によるSi3N4(窒化ケイ素)膜デポ工程において、基材表面が多結晶のSiC(炭化ケイ素)により被覆されたSiC縦型ウエハボートが用いられている。
この縦型ウエハボートは、SiCの基材表面にCVD(化学気相成長)法によるSiCコーティングを施し、高純度のSiC被覆層を基材表面に形成したものである。この縦型ウエハボートにあっては、基材内部から外方への不純物の拡散を抑制することができる。
In a process involving heating in a semiconductor manufacturing process, for example, a Si 3 N 4 (silicon nitride) film deposition process by LP-CVD (low pressure-chemical vapor deposition: low pressure CVD), the substrate surface is made of polycrystalline SiC ( SiC vertical wafer boats coated with silicon carbide) are used.
This vertical wafer boat is obtained by applying a SiC coating by a CVD (chemical vapor deposition) method to the surface of a SiC substrate and forming a high-purity SiC coating layer on the surface of the substrate. In this vertical wafer boat, diffusion of impurities from the inside of the substrate to the outside can be suppressed.
しかしながら、SiC被覆層を基材表面に形成したSiC縦型ボートにあっては、半導体ウエハへのSi3N4等のCVD膜形成の際に、当該CVD膜の剥がれによるパーティクル汚染を生じるおそれがあり、比較的頻繁にCVD膜の洗浄、除去作業を行う必要があった。
そのため、前記CVD膜の密着強度を向上させる方法として、例えば、特許文献1のようにサンドブラスト等の表面処理でウエハボート表面を適度に粗面化する方法が提案されている。
However, in an SiC vertical boat in which a SiC coating layer is formed on the surface of a base material, there is a risk of causing particle contamination due to peeling of the CVD film when forming a CVD film such as Si 3 N 4 on a semiconductor wafer. In other words, the CVD film needs to be cleaned and removed relatively frequently.
Therefore, as a method for improving the adhesion strength of the CVD film, for example, a method for appropriately roughening the surface of the wafer boat by surface treatment such as sandblasting has been proposed as disclosed in
また、当該SiC縦型ボートにあっては、SiC被膜層が多結晶のSiC粒子からなりこの表面に露出するSiC粒子が大きく、鋭角であると、これに搭載されるウエハに傷やスリップが生じる虞がある。そのため、ウエハが搭載されるウエハ当接部のみ若しくはボート全体を研磨し、フラット化することで、傷やスリップ発生を防止する方法が検討されている。
ところで、前記した特許文献1において提案されているSiC縦型ウエハボートは、SiC被覆層の研磨面に、当該研磨に伴うマイクロダメージ(マイクロクラック等)が残存するため、半導体ウエハの製造工程で受ける昇降温、また/若しくはCVD膜の除去のための酸洗浄の繰り返し等によって、SiC被覆層が破損し、SiC膜自体もしくはCVD膜の剥がれによるパーティクル発生やSiC基材からの不純物拡散によるウエハ汚染の虞がある。
By the way, the SiC vertical wafer boat proposed in the above-mentioned
本発明は、上記課題を解決するためになされたものであり、ウエハに傷やスリップの発生をより確実に抑制し、かつパーティクル汚染を生じさせない縦型ウエハボートを提供することを目的とするものである。 The present invention has been made to solve the above-described problems, and an object of the present invention is to provide a vertical wafer boat that more reliably suppresses the generation of scratches and slips on the wafer and does not cause particle contamination. It is.
本発明は上記目的を達成するために成されたものであり、ウエハを搭載するための棚部が形成された複数本の支柱と、前記支柱の上下端部を固定する天板及び底板とを備えた、SiC質基材の表面にSiC被覆膜が形成された縦型ウエハボートにおいて、前記棚部におけるウエハ当接部が第1のSiC被膜形成後に研磨によるフラット化処理を行い、その上面に第2のSiC被膜が形成され、かつその表面の表面粗さRaが0.1μm以上0.9μm以下であって、前記ウエハ当接部を除く部分が、第1のSiC被膜形成後にその上面に第2のSiC膜が形成され、かつその表面粗さRaが1.0μm以上8.0μm以下であることを特徴としている。 The present invention has been made to achieve the above object, and includes a plurality of columns on which a shelf for mounting a wafer is formed, and a top plate and a bottom plate for fixing upper and lower ends of the columns. In a vertical wafer boat provided with a SiC coating film on the surface of a SiC substrate, the wafer abutting portion in the shelf performs a flattening process by polishing after the first SiC coating is formed, and the upper surface thereof And the surface roughness Ra of the surface is 0.1 μm or more and 0.9 μm or less, and a portion excluding the wafer contact portion is formed on the upper surface after the first SiC film is formed. The second SiC film is formed, and the surface roughness Ra is 1.0 μm or more and 8.0 μm or less.
このように、前記棚部におけるウエハ当接部が第1のSiC被膜形成後に研磨によるフラット化処理を行い、その上面に第2のSiC被膜が形成され、かつその表面の表面粗さRaが0.1μm以上0.9μm以下であるため、表面にマイクロクラックの如きダメージが残存することがなく、また適度な表面粗さになっていることで、上述したパーティクルの発生が抑制され、ウエハの傷やスリップの発生をより確実に抑制することができると共に、SiC膜破損による不純物汚染の虞がない。 As described above, the wafer contact portion in the shelf performs the flattening process by polishing after the first SiC film is formed, the second SiC film is formed on the upper surface, and the surface roughness Ra of the surface is 0. Since it is 1 μm or more and 0.9 μm or less, damage such as microcracks does not remain on the surface, and since the surface has an appropriate surface roughness, the generation of the above-described particles is suppressed, and the scratches on the wafer And the occurrence of slips can be more reliably suppressed, and there is no risk of impurity contamination due to SiC film breakage.
また、ウエハ当接部を除く部分が、第1のSiC被膜形成後にその上面に第2のSiC膜が形成され、かつその表面粗さRaが1.0μm以上8.0μm以下となっている。つまり、表面粗さRaが0.7μm〜7.5μm程度の第1のSiC被膜の表面に、更に上記第2の微細なSiC被覆膜が形成され、その表面が上記表面粗さとなっているため、CVD膜が付着した際、アンカー効果が大きく、CVD膜の剥離をより効果的に抑制することができる。 Further, the second SiC film is formed on the upper surface of the portion excluding the wafer contact portion after the first SiC film is formed, and the surface roughness Ra is 1.0 μm or more and 8.0 μm or less. That is, the second fine SiC coating film is further formed on the surface of the first SiC film having a surface roughness Ra of about 0.7 μm to 7.5 μm, and the surface has the surface roughness. Therefore, when the CVD film adheres, the anchor effect is large, and the peeling of the CVD film can be more effectively suppressed.
本発明によれば、ウエハに傷やスリップの発生をより確実に抑制し、かつパーティクル汚染を抑制できる縦型ウエハボートを得ることができる。 ADVANTAGE OF THE INVENTION According to this invention, the vertical wafer boat which can suppress generation | occurrence | production of the damage | wound and slip to a wafer more reliably, and can suppress particle contamination can be obtained.
以下に、本発明にかかる一実施形態について、図1乃至図3に基づいて説明する。なお、図1は本発明の一実施形態にかかる縦型ウエハボートを示す斜視図、図2は図1に示した縦型ウエハボートの要部拡大図、図3は図1に示した縦型ウエハボートの製造方法を示す図である。 An embodiment according to the present invention will be described below with reference to FIGS. 1 to 3. 1 is a perspective view showing a vertical wafer boat according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 2 is an enlarged view of a main part of the vertical wafer boat shown in FIG. 1, and FIG. 3 is a vertical type shown in FIG. It is a figure which shows the manufacturing method of a wafer boat.
図1に示すように、この縦型ウエハボート1は、成膜処理されるウエハWを搭載するための棚部2aが形成された複数本の支柱2と、前記支柱2の上下端部を固定する天板3及び底板4とを備えている。
なお、前記SiC質基材としては、反応焼結SiCすなわちカーボン成分を含むSiC焼成体にSiを含浸し、前記カーボン成分とSiの一部が反応し、SiC化されたSi−SiCであることが好ましく、SiCの成形体を高温で熱処理した再結晶質SiC、焼結助剤を添加し焼結した自焼結SiC等でもよい。
As shown in FIG. 1, the
The SiC base material is Si-SiC obtained by reacting sintered SiC, that is, a SiC fired body containing a carbon component with Si, and reacting part of the carbon component with Si to form SiC. It is preferable to use recrystallized SiC obtained by heat-treating a molded body of SiC at a high temperature, self-sintered SiC obtained by adding a sintering aid and sintering.
また、図2に示すように、前記棚部2aの上面部2a1は、ウエハWを載置するウエハ載置部である。この上面部(ウエハ載置部)2a1の先端部には先端面取り部2a2が形成され、左右側面部には、側部面取り部2a3が形成されている。尚、図中、この先端面取り部2a2、側部面取り部2a3は平面状に示されているが、これに限定されるものではなく、曲面状、いわゆるR形状に形成されていても良い。
As shown in FIG. 2, the
また、前記ウエハ載置部2a1と、このウエハ載置部2a1と連続し隣接する先端面取り部2a2及び側部面取り部2a3、更にこのウエハ載置部2a1と連続し隣接する、支柱2のウエハ挿入側側面2bの下側部2b1(ウエハ載置部2a1上面から寸法tの部分)は、ウエハが接する部分あるいは接する可能性がある部分であり、これらが成膜処理等の間にウエハが当接するウエハ当接部である。
このウエハ当接部は、表面粗さがRaが0.7μm〜7.5μmの第1のSiC被膜形成後に研磨によるフラット化処理を行い、その上面に第2のSiC被膜が形成され、かつその表面の表面粗さRaが0.1μm以上0.9μm以下に形成されている。
Further, the wafer mounting portion 2a1, the tip chamfered portion 2a2 and the side chamfered portion 2a3 that are continuous and adjacent to the wafer mounting portion 2a1, and the wafer insertion of the
The wafer contact portion is flattened by polishing after the first SiC film having a surface roughness Ra of 0.7 μm to 7.5 μm, and a second SiC film is formed on the upper surface thereof, and The surface roughness Ra of the surface is 0.1 μm or more and 0.9 μm or less.
このように、第1のSiC被膜形成後に研磨によるフラット化処理を行い、その上面に第2のSiC被膜が形成され、かつその表面の表面粗さRaが0.1μm以上0.9μm以下に形成されているため、表面にマイクロクラックの如きダメージが残存することがなく、また適度な表面粗さになっていることで、上述したパーティクルの発生が抑制され、ウエハのスリップをより確実に抑制することができると共に、SiC膜破損による不純物汚染の虞がない。 Thus, the flattening process by polishing is performed after the first SiC film is formed, the second SiC film is formed on the upper surface, and the surface roughness Ra of the surface is 0.1 μm or more and 0.9 μm or less. Therefore, damage such as microcracks does not remain on the surface and the surface roughness is moderate, so that the generation of the above-mentioned particles is suppressed, and the wafer slip is more reliably suppressed. In addition, there is no risk of impurity contamination due to SiC film breakage.
ここで、前記表面の表面粗さRaが0.1μm未満では、ウエハ載置部2a1上にウエハを載置した際に、滑りが生じ、ウエハボート移動時にウエハが落下するおそれがあり、あるいは高温環境下でウエハを加熱処理した場合にウエハがボートの当接部で融着するおそれがあり好ましくなく、また表面の表面粗さRaが0.9μmを超える場合には、ウエハ搭載時あるいは成膜処理等を行なった際に、ウエハ裏面に傷やスリップが生じることとなり好ましくない。 Here, if the surface roughness Ra of the surface is less than 0.1 μm, slipping may occur when the wafer is placed on the wafer placement portion 2a1, and the wafer may fall when the wafer boat is moved, or the temperature may be high. If the wafer is heat-treated in an environment, the wafer may be fused at the contact portion of the boat, which is not preferable. If the surface roughness Ra exceeds 0.9 μm, the wafer is mounted or deposited. When processing or the like is performed, scratches and slips are generated on the back surface of the wafer, which is not preferable.
また、ウエハ当接部を除く部分(ウエハ載置部2a1と、先端面取り部2a2、側部面取り部2a3、ウエハ挿入側側面2bの下側部2b1以外の部分)は、第1のSiC被膜形成後にその上面に第2のSiC膜が形成され、かつその表面粗さRaが1.0μm以上8.0μm以下となっている。
つまり、表面粗さRaが0.7μm〜7.5μmの第1のSiC被膜の表面に、更に上記表面粗さRaで0.1μm以上0.9μm以下となる第2のSiC被覆膜が形成され、その表面がRa1.0μm〜8.0μmとなっているため、CVD膜が付着した際、アンカー効果が大きく、CVD膜の剥離をより効果的に抑制することができる。
Further, a portion other than the wafer contact portion (a portion other than the wafer mounting portion 2a1, the tip chamfered portion 2a2, the side chamfered portion 2a3, and the lower portion 2b1 of the wafer
That is, a second SiC coating film having a surface roughness Ra of 0.1 μm to 0.9 μm is formed on the surface of the first SiC film having a surface roughness Ra of 0.7 μm to 7.5 μm. And since the surface is Ra1.0micrometer-8.0micrometer, when a CVD film adheres, an anchor effect is large and it can suppress peeling of a CVD film more effectively.
ここで、ウエハ当接部を除く部分の表面粗さがRa1.0μm未満の場合には、CVD膜の剥離抑制効果がなく、また表面粗さが8.0μmを超える場合には、縦型ボートの移送あるいはセッティングの際に移送用治具等との接触によってパーティクルが発生し、好ましくない。 Here, when the surface roughness of the portion excluding the wafer contact portion is less than Ra 1.0 μm, there is no effect of suppressing the peeling of the CVD film, and when the surface roughness exceeds 8.0 μm, the vertical boat During the transfer or setting, particles are generated by contact with a transfer jig or the like, which is not preferable.
次に、本発明にかかる縦型ウエハボートの製造方法について、図3に基づいて説明する。
先ず、SiC質基材を支柱2、天板3、底板4を所定の形状に機械加工し、またこれら基材の表面を研磨し、所定の表面粗さを有する部材を製作する。例えば支柱2には、図3(a)に示すように、棚部2aが形成される。
そして、図3(b)に示すように、これら部材の表面に、表面粗さRaが概ね0.7μm〜7.5μmとなるように、例えば、結晶粒径5μm以上30μm以下のSiCの結晶粒を有する第1のSiC被覆膜AをCVD法により形成する。
Next, the manufacturing method of the vertical wafer boat concerning this invention is demonstrated based on FIG.
First, the
Then, as shown in FIG. 3B, on the surfaces of these members, for example, SiC crystal grains having a crystal grain size of 5 μm to 30 μm so that the surface roughness Ra is approximately 0.7 μm to 7.5 μm. A first SiC coating film A having the following is formed by a CVD method.
続いて、図3(c)に示すように、棚部2aのウエハ載置部2a1、先端面取り部2a2、側部面取り部2a3、支柱2のウエハ挿入側面2bの下側部2b1に形成された前記第1のSiC被覆膜Aを、表面粗さRaが0.1μm未満となるように研磨加工(フラット化処理)する。
Subsequently, as shown in FIG. 3C, the wafer mounting portion 2a1, the tip chamfered portion 2a2, the side chamfered portion 2a3 of the
更に、図3(d)に示すように、これら部材の表面全域に、前記研磨面の表面粗さRaが0.1μm以上0.9μm以下となるように、例えば、結晶粒径0.1μm以上5μm以下のSiCの結晶粒を有する第2のSiC被覆膜BをCVD法により形成する。 Further, as shown in FIG. 3D, for example, the crystal grain size is 0.1 μm or more so that the surface roughness Ra of the polishing surface is 0.1 μm or more and 0.9 μm or less over the entire surface of these members. A second SiC coating film B having SiC crystal grains of 5 μm or less is formed by a CVD method.
その結果、棚部2aのウエハ載置部2a1、先端面取り部2a2、側部面取り部2a3、支柱2のウエハ挿入側面2bの下側部2b1の上面は、フラット化処理化された第1のSiC被覆膜Aの表面に第2のSiC被覆膜Bが形成され、表面粗さRaが0.1μm以上0.9μm以下の構造となる。
As a result, the wafer mounting portion 2a1, the tip chamfered portion 2a2, the side chamfered portion 2a3 of the
また、棚部2aのウエハ載置部2a1、先端面取り部2a2、側部面取り部2a3、支柱2のウエハ挿入側面2bの下側部2b1の上面を除いた部分には、比較的粗い表面のSiC被覆膜Aの表面に微細な粗さとなるSiC被覆膜Bが形成され、表面粗さRaが1.0μm以上8.0μm以下の構造となる。
In addition, the portion of the
なお、異なる結晶粒を有するSiC被覆膜A,Bは、公知のCVD法において処理温度、原料ガス比、減圧程度を適宜に変えることによって、形成することができる。
結晶粒径5μm以上30μm以下のSiCの結晶粒を有するSiC被覆膜Aを形成するには、例えば、500torr以下に減圧脱気後、10℃/分の昇温速度で1000〜1400℃まで加熱し、次いで原料化合物をキャリアガスとともに導入した後、さらに10℃/分の昇温速度で1000〜1400℃の成膜温度に加熱し、圧力を0〜500torrの成膜圧力に調整する。次いで、原料化合物をキャリアガスとともに導入し、原料化合物を熱分解または化学反応させることにより、前記SiC被覆膜を形成することができる。
The SiC coating films A and B having different crystal grains can be formed by appropriately changing the processing temperature, the raw material gas ratio, and the reduced pressure in a known CVD method.
In order to form SiC coating film A having SiC crystal grains having a crystal grain size of 5 μm or more and 30 μm or less, for example, after degassing under reduced pressure to 500 torr or less, heating to 1000 to 1400 ° C. at a heating rate of 10 ° C./min. Then, after introducing the raw material compound together with the carrier gas, it is further heated to a film forming temperature of 1000 to 1400 ° C. at a temperature rising rate of 10 ° C./min, and the pressure is adjusted to a film forming pressure of 0 to 500 torr. Next, the SiC coating film can be formed by introducing the raw material compound together with the carrier gas and thermally decomposing or reacting the raw material compound.
また、結晶粒径0.1μm以上5μm以下のSiCの結晶粒を有するSiC被覆膜Bを形成するには、例えば、500torr以下に減圧脱気後、10℃/分の昇温速度で1000〜1300℃まで加熱し、次いで非酸化性ガスを導入した後、さらに10℃/分の昇温速度で1000〜1300℃の成膜温度に加熱し、圧力を0〜500torrの成膜圧力に調整する。次いで、原料化合物をキャリアガスとともに導入し、原料化合物を熱分解または化学反応させることにより、前記SiC被覆膜を形成することができる。 In order to form the SiC coating film B having SiC crystal grains having a crystal grain size of 0.1 μm or more and 5 μm or less, for example, after degassing under reduced pressure to 500 torr or less, the temperature is increased from 1000 to 1000 ° C. After heating to 1300 ° C. and then introducing a non-oxidizing gas, the film is further heated to a film formation temperature of 1000 to 1300 ° C. at a temperature increase rate of 10 ° C./min, and the pressure is adjusted to a film formation pressure of 0 to 500 torr. . Next, the SiC coating film can be formed by introducing the raw material compound together with the carrier gas and thermally decomposing or reacting the raw material compound.
尚、原料化合物としては、例えば、CH3SiCl3、CH3SiHCl2などの分子内にSi原子とC原子を含む有機ケイ素化合物が挙げられる。また、原料化合物として、SiCl4のようなケイ素化合物とCH4などの炭素化合物とを併用してもよい。キャリアガスとしては、水素やアルゴンなどの非酸化性ガスが例示される。 As the starting compound, for example, an organic silicon compound containing Si atoms and C atom in the molecule such as CH 3 SiCl 3, CH 3 SiHCl 2. Further, as the starting compound, it may be used in combination with carbon compounds such as silicon compounds and CH 4 as SiCl 4. Examples of the carrier gas include non-oxidizing gases such as hydrogen and argon.
