Description
本発明は、シリコン単結晶基板の主表面にエピタキシャル層を成長させるエピタキシャル成長装置に関する。 The present invention relates to an epitaxial growth apparatus for growing an epitaxial layer on a main surface of a silicon single crystal substrate.
気相成長法により、シリコン単結晶基板の表面にエピタキシャル層を形成したシリコンエピタキシャルウェーハは電子デバイスに広く使用されている。近年、電子デバイスの微細化によって、エピタキシャル膜厚の面内均一化が重要な課題の一つとなっている。 A silicon epitaxial wafer in which an epitaxial layer is formed on the surface of a silicon single crystal substrate by a vapor deposition method is widely used for electronic devices. In recent years, with the miniaturization of electronic devices, in-plane uniformity of the epitaxial film thickness has become one of the important issues.
エピタキシャル層の成長速度は温度の影響を強く受けるので、エピタキシャル層の膜厚均一性を向上させる為には、シリコン単結晶基板の面内の温度分布の制御が重要である。エピタキシャルウェーハ製造装置の加熱方式には様々なものがあり、シリコンウェーハを1枚ずつエピタキシャル成長させる枚葉エピタキシャル装置の場合は、シリコンウェーハの上下からハロゲンランプヒータで加熱する方式が多く使われる。ハロゲンランプに片口金型ランプを用いる場合はランプを円形に配列することになり、このランプの背後にはヒータからの熱線を反射して基板に照射するためのドーナツ状のリフレクタを配置する。また他に、サセプタの支持軸の保護や温度計測のための光路確保のために、サセプタに載置された基板の上下で、ドーナツ状のリフレクタの中心を通る円筒形状のリフレクタも配置される。 Since the growth rate of the epitaxial layer is strongly influenced by temperature, it is important to control the temperature distribution in the plane of the silicon single crystal substrate in order to improve the film thickness uniformity of the epitaxial layer. There are various heating methods for an epitaxial wafer manufacturing apparatus. In the case of a single wafer epitaxial apparatus in which silicon wafers are epitaxially grown one by one, a method of heating with a halogen lamp heater from above and below the silicon wafer is often used. When a single-end die lamp is used as the halogen lamp, the lamps are arranged in a circular shape, and a donut-shaped reflector for reflecting the heat rays from the heater and irradiating the substrate is disposed behind the lamp. In addition, in order to protect the support shaft of the susceptor and to secure an optical path for temperature measurement, cylindrical reflectors passing through the center of the donut-shaped reflector are also arranged above and below the substrate placed on the susceptor.
ヒータの背後に設置されるドーナツ状のリフレクタ形状の違いにより、基板の中心付近を強く照射するインサイド用ランプと、基板の周辺付近を強く照射するアウトサイド用ランプがあり、この両方のランプの照射強度を調整することにより、基板面内の温度分布の均一化を図っているが、基板中心付近の照度は急激に増大しやすく、インサイド/アウトサイド用ランプの照度を調整しても、急激に変動した照度分布が残ってしまう問題があった。これにより、基板面内の温度分布が不均一となり、エピタキシャル層の膜厚が不均一になってしまうという問題があった。 Depending on the shape of the donut-shaped reflector installed behind the heater, there are an inside lamp that irradiates the vicinity of the substrate strongly and an outside lamp that irradiates the vicinity of the substrate strongly. By adjusting the intensity, the temperature distribution in the substrate surface is made uniform, but the illuminance near the center of the substrate tends to increase rapidly, and even if the illuminance of the inside / outside lamp is adjusted, There was a problem that the changed illuminance distribution remained. As a result, there is a problem that the temperature distribution in the substrate surface becomes non-uniform and the film thickness of the epitaxial layer becomes non-uniform.
特許文献1や特許文献2では、ドーナツ状リフレクタの曲率半径の変更や、ランプ中心側に散乱体を有する構造にすることで、急激な照度分布を抑制し、温度分布を改善している。 In Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2, a rapid illuminance distribution is suppressed and a temperature distribution is improved by changing the radius of curvature of the donut-shaped reflector or by using a structure having a scatterer on the lamp center side.
本発明は、上記した従来技術の問題点に鑑みなされたものであり、エピタキシャル成長において、ヒータからの熱線を調節して、シリコン単結晶基板を面内均一に加熱し、膜厚が均一なエピタキシャル層を成長させることができるエピタキシャル成長装置を提供することを目的とする。 The present invention has been made in view of the above-described problems of the prior art, and in epitaxial growth, a heat ray from a heater is adjusted to uniformly heat a silicon single crystal substrate in a plane, thereby obtaining an epitaxial layer having a uniform film thickness.

以下、本発明の実施形態を図面を参照しながら説明するが、本発明はこれに限定されるものではない。 Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto.
図1に、本発明に係るエピタキシャル成長装置の一つの実施の形態を示す。本発明のエピタキシャル成長装置10Aは、反応ガスを基板Wに対して略水平に導入して、基板W上に薄膜を気相成長させるための反応室11と、反応室11内にシリコン単結晶基板Wを略水平に配置するためのサセプタ12と、前記サセプタ12の上下に各々配置され、シリコン単結晶基板Wを加熱するための放射状に円形に並べられた複数の棒状の単体ヒータを有するヒータ15a,15bと、前記上のヒータ15aの中央に配置された円筒状リフレクタ14a及び前記下のヒータ15bの中央に配置された円筒状リフレクタ14bと、を備える。前記円筒状リフレクタ14a,14bにより、支持軸13の加熱防止や、温度計測のための光路を確保することができる。 FIG. 1 shows an embodiment of an epitaxial growth apparatus according to the present invention. The epitaxial growth apparatus 10A of the present invention introduces a reaction gas substantially horizontally with respect to the substrate W, and causes a thin film on the substrate W to vapor-phase grow, and the silicon single crystal substrate W in the reaction chamber 11. , And a heater 15a having a plurality of rod-shaped single heaters arranged respectively in the upper and lower sides of the susceptor 12 and arranged radially in a circle for heating the silicon single crystal substrate W. 15b, and a cylindrical reflector 14a disposed at the center of the upper heater 15a and a cylindrical reflector 14b disposed at the center of the lower heater 15b. The cylindrical reflectors 14a and 14b can secure an optical path for preventing the support shaft 13 from being heated and for measuring temperature.
サセプタ12は、該サセプタ12を回転させる機構を設けた支持軸13により支持されている。前記支持軸13はサセプタ12の周縁部を支持する複数のアーム部24a,24bを有している。また、上のヒータ15aの上側及び下のヒータ15bの下側には、上下のドーナツ状リフレクタ16a、16bが各々配置される。 The susceptor 12 is supported by a support shaft 13 provided with a mechanism for rotating the susceptor 12. The support shaft 13 has a plurality of arm portions 24 a and 24 b that support the peripheral portion of the susceptor 12. In addition, upper and lower donut-shaped reflectors 16a and 16b are respectively arranged on the upper side of the upper heater 15a and the lower side of the lower heater 15b.
前記円筒状リフレクタ14a,14b、ドーナツ状リフレクタ16a,16b及びヒータ15a,15bの構成については、特許文献1及び特許文献2に開示された円筒状リフレクタ、ドーナツ状リフレクタ及びヒータと同様の構成を採用することができる。 The configurations of the cylindrical reflectors 14a and 14b, the donut-shaped reflectors 16a and 16b, and the heaters 15a and 15b are the same as the cylindrical reflector, the donut-shaped reflector and the heater disclosed in Patent Document 1 and Patent Document 2. can do.
すなわち、上下のヒータ15a、15bは、放射状に円形に並べられた複数の棒状の単体ヒータを有する。この単体ヒータとしては、例えばハロゲンランプを用いることができ、主に基板中央部に熱線を照射するインサイド用ランプである単体ヒータと、主に基板の周辺部に熱線を照射するアウトサイド用ランプである単体ヒータとを並べてヒータ15a、15bを形成する。これらインサイド/アウトサイド用の単体ヒータの照射強度を各々調節して基板を面内均一に加熱する。
上のヒータ15aの上側及び下のヒータ15bの下側に、上下のドーナツ状リフレクタ16a、16bが各々配置される。この上下のドーナツ状リフレクタ16a、16bの少なくとも一つは、ヒータ15a、15bの熱放射を収束させる円筒凹面形状の収束反射板部と、熱放射を分散させる平板形状の分散反射板部とを有する。これら収束反射板部、分散反射板部は、交互に形成されてもよいし、回転対称又は線対称に形成されてもよい。
That is, the upper and lower heaters 15a and 15b have a plurality of rod-shaped single heaters arranged radially in a circle. As the single heater, for example, a halogen lamp can be used. The single heater is an inside lamp that mainly radiates heat rays to the central portion of the substrate, and the outside lamp that mainly radiates heat rays to the peripheral portion of the substrate. Heaters 15a and 15b are formed side by side with a single heater. The substrate is heated uniformly in the plane by adjusting the irradiation intensity of each of the inside / outside single heaters.
Upper and lower donut-shaped reflectors 16a and 16b are respectively arranged above the upper heater 15a and below the lower heater 15b. At least one of the upper and lower donut-shaped reflectors 16a and 16b has a cylindrical concave converging reflection plate portion for converging the heat radiation of the heaters 15a and 15b, and a flat plate-shaped dispersion reflection plate portion for dispersing the heat radiation. . These convergent reflection plate portions and dispersion reflection plate portions may be formed alternately, or may be formed rotationally or line-symmetrically.
そして、本発明のエピタキシャル成長装置10Aは、前記シリコン単結晶基板W又は前記サセプタ12の近傍に吸収体17が設けられており、前記ヒータ15a、15bからの熱線を吸収する吸収領域を有している。前記吸収体である吸収体17は円盤状であり、前記吸収体の直径が、前記シリコン単結晶基板の直径の5〜50%の範囲にある。なお、前記シリコン単結晶基板は円盤状のウェーハである。 In the epitaxial growth apparatus 10A of the present invention, an absorber 17 is provided in the vicinity of the silicon single crystal substrate W or the susceptor 12, and has an absorption region that absorbs heat rays from the heaters 15a and 15b. . The absorber 17 as the absorber is disk-shaped, and the diameter of the absorber is in the range of 5 to 50% of the diameter of the silicon single crystal substrate. The silicon single crystal substrate is a disc-shaped wafer.
図1の例では、吸収体17は円盤状のものを示した。図1の例では、吸収体17としては、炭素製基材を炭化珪素で被覆したものを示した。このように、炭化珪素製又は炭素製基材を炭化珪素で被覆したものであれば、ヒータからの熱放射を効果的に吸収させることができる。そして、前記吸収体の位置がサセプタ12の下方で、前記サセプタ12の下面からの距離がシリコン単結晶基板Wの直径の20%未満の範囲としてある。 In the example of FIG. 1, the absorber 17 is a disc-shaped one. In the example of FIG. 1, as the absorber 17, a carbon base material coated with silicon carbide is shown. Thus, if the silicon carbide or carbon substrate is coated with silicon carbide, the heat radiation from the heater can be effectively absorbed. The position of the absorber is below the susceptor 12 and the distance from the lower surface of the susceptor 12 is within a range of less than 20% of the diameter of the silicon single crystal substrate W.
上記のように吸収体17を設けることで、前記上のヒータ15a、15bからの熱線を吸収させる吸収領域が形成され、シリコン単結晶基板Wの局所的な部分の温度を低下させることができる。故に、シリコン単結晶基板Wを面内で均一に加熱することができるため、面内均一な膜厚のエピタキシャル層を成長させることができ、高品質のエピタキシャルウェーハを製造することができる。 By providing the absorber 17 as described above, an absorption region that absorbs heat rays from the heaters 15a and 15b is formed, and the temperature of a local portion of the silicon single crystal substrate W can be lowered. Therefore, since the silicon single crystal substrate W can be heated uniformly in the plane, an epitaxial layer having a uniform thickness in the plane can be grown, and a high-quality epitaxial wafer can be manufactured.
次に、本発明に係るエピタキシャル成長装置の別の実施の形態を図2(a)(b)に示す。図2(a)(b)において、本発明のエピタキシャル成長装置10Bは、散乱体20としてリング形状の金メッキ製反射体を用いた以外は上記したエピタキシャル成長装置10Aと同様の構成である。なお、このような反射体の材質としては、例えば、ステンレス等の金属材料を金メッキしたものとすることができる。 Next, another embodiment of the epitaxial growth apparatus according to the present invention is shown in FIGS. 2A and 2B, the epitaxial growth apparatus 10B of the present invention has the same configuration as the epitaxial growth apparatus 10A described above except that a ring-shaped gold-plated reflector is used as the scatterer 20. In addition, as a material of such a reflector, metal materials, such as stainless steel, can be gold-plated, for example.
前記上のヒータからの熱線を散乱させる散乱体20は、前記シリコン単結晶基板Wの直上に設けられており、前記シリコン単結晶基板Wの上面と前記上側ドーナツ状リフレクタ14aの下端との間に、支持部22を介して設けられている。そして、散乱体20の位置がシリコン単結晶Wの基板面の上方で、前記シリコン単結晶基板Wの表面からの距離が前記シリコン単結晶基板Wの直径の20%未満の範囲にある。 The scatterer 20 that scatters heat rays from the upper heater is provided immediately above the silicon single crystal substrate W, and is located between the upper surface of the silicon single crystal substrate W and the lower end of the upper donut-shaped reflector 14a. The support portion 22 is provided. The position of the scatterer 20 is above the substrate surface of the silicon single crystal W, and the distance from the surface of the silicon single crystal substrate W is in the range of less than 20% of the diameter of the silicon single crystal substrate W.
上記のように散乱体20を設けることで、前記シリコン単結晶基板Wの上面と前記上の円筒状リフレクタ14aの下端との間に、前記上のヒータ15aからの熱線を散乱させる散乱体が形成され、シリコン単結晶基板Wの局所的な部分の温度を低下させることが出来る。故に、シリコン単結晶基板Wを面内で均一に加熱することができるため、面内均一な膜厚のエピタキシャル層を成長させることができ、高品質のエピタキシャルウェーハを製造することができる。 By providing the scatterer 20 as described above, a scatterer that scatters heat rays from the upper heater 15a is formed between the upper surface of the silicon single crystal substrate W and the lower end of the upper cylindrical reflector 14a. Thus, the temperature of the local portion of the silicon single crystal substrate W can be lowered. Therefore, since the silicon single crystal substrate W can be heated uniformly in the plane, an epitaxial layer having a uniform thickness in the plane can be grown, and a high-quality epitaxial wafer can be manufactured.
また、散乱体20は、石英製散乱体とすることで、単体ヒータからの熱放射を効果的に散乱させることもできる。また、それらの表面粗さ、表面形状等を変えることで、散乱の度合いを調節することも容易である。 Moreover, the scatterer 20 can be effectively made to scatter thermal radiation from a single heater by using a quartz scatterer. It is also easy to adjust the degree of scattering by changing the surface roughness, surface shape, and the like.
石英製散乱体とした場合の表面粗さは、Ra0.01〜10μmであることが好ましい。また、石英製散乱体とした場合には、高さ0.1〜10mmの凹凸表面を有する形状であるのがさらに好適である。さらに、前記石英製散乱体が、波長1550nmにおける透過率で25%を超えることが好ましい。 When the quartz scatterer is used, the surface roughness is preferably Ra 0.01 to 10 μm. In the case of a quartz scatterer, a shape having an uneven surface with a height of 0.1 to 10 mm is more preferable. Furthermore, it is preferable that the quartz scatterer exceeds 25% in transmittance at a wavelength of 1550 nm.
