Description
本開示は、基板の洗浄方法及び半導体デバイス用基板の製造方法に関する。 The present disclosure relates to a method for cleaning a substrate and a method for manufacturing a substrate for a semiconductor device.
近年、半導体集積回路等の半導体デバイスは、処理能力向上に伴い微細化が進んでいる。微細化が進むにしたがって、基板各層における平坦性の高い精度が求められている。さらに、配線等が描かれた、硬さや性質の異なる複数種類の表面を同時に平坦化することが生産効率の面等から求められようになってきている。 In recent years, semiconductor devices such as semiconductor integrated circuits have been miniaturized as the processing capacity has been improved. As miniaturization progresses, high accuracy of flatness in each layer of the substrate is required. Further, it has been required from the viewpoint of production efficiency to simultaneously flatten a plurality of types of surfaces having different hardness and properties on which wiring or the like is drawn.
半導体デバイス用基板の平坦性を確保する技術として化学機械研磨(CMP)が一般的に行われている。CMPでは、研磨砥粒を含む研磨剤(スラリー)を供給しながら研磨パッドを用いて基板表面を研磨し、平坦化する。研磨剤としてシリカスラリーが広く用いられているが、酸化セリウム粒子(セリア)スラリーも用いられている。シリカスラリーは、主に銅等の金属部と二酸化シリコン(SiO2)部を有する基板表面の研磨に利用され、セリアスラリーは、主にSiO2部と窒化ケイ素(Si3N4)部を有する基板表面の研磨に利用されている。そして、シリカスラリーやセリアスラリーを用いたCMPの後は、基板表面に残存する研磨くずや砥粒由来の異物(パーティクル)を除去するために、洗浄が必要である。 Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is generally performed as a technique for ensuring the flatness of a substrate for a semiconductor device. In CMP, the surface of a substrate is polished and flattened by using a polishing pad while supplying a polishing agent (slurry) containing polishing abrasive grains. Silica slurry is widely used as an abrasive, but cerium oxide particle (ceria) slurry is also used. The silica slurry is mainly used for polishing the surface of a substrate having a metal part such as copper and a silicon dioxide (SiO 2 ) part, and the ceria slurry mainly has a SiO 2 part and a silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ) part. It is used for polishing the surface of the substrate. After CMP using silica slurry or ceria slurry, cleaning is required to remove polishing debris and foreign matter (particles) derived from abrasive grains remaining on the substrate surface.
例えば、特許文献1には、アニオン性界面活性剤、水及びpH調整剤を含有し、CMP処理後の基板洗浄用である洗浄液が提案されている。 For example, Patent Document 1 proposes a cleaning liquid containing an anionic surfactant, water, and a pH adjuster, which is used for cleaning a substrate after CMP treatment.
セリアスラリーを用いたCMPの後には、基板表面に残留する研磨砥粒であるセリアの除去を目的として、通常フッ酸洗浄が行われている。一方で、近年、半導体デバイス分野では微細化目的で配線幅を狭くする傾向にあるため、下地を形成している二酸化シリコン等の熱酸化膜のスクラッチや表面荒れの影響が大きくなっている。さらに、フッ酸洗浄では熱酸化膜に対する溶解性が強すぎるためにスクラッチの発生や表面粗さといった課題が発生し、洗浄後の工程に影響し、半導体デバイスの収率の低下及び品質の低下を招いている。そのため、フッ酸に代わり、平坦性を低下させることなく、基板表面に残留するセリアに対する洗浄性に優れる洗浄剤が求められている。しかし、上記特許文献に開示されている洗浄剤組成物では、表面の一部が酸化珪素である半導体デバイス用基板の基板表面に残留するセリアに対する洗浄性が十分ではなかった。 After CMP using the ceria slurry, hydrofluoric acid cleaning is usually performed for the purpose of removing ceria, which is polishing abrasive grains remaining on the substrate surface. On the other hand, in recent years, in the field of semiconductor devices, the wiring width tends to be narrowed for the purpose of miniaturization, so that the influence of scratches and surface roughness of the thermal oxide film such as silicon dioxide forming the base is increasing. Furthermore, hydrofluoric acid cleaning is too soluble in the thermal oxide film, which causes problems such as scratches and surface roughness, which affects the post-cleaning process and reduces the yield and quality of semiconductor devices. I'm inviting you. Therefore, instead of hydrofluoric acid, there is a demand for a cleaning agent having excellent detergency against ceria remaining on the substrate surface without lowering the flatness. However, in the cleaning agent composition disclosed in the above patent document, the cleaning property against ceria remaining on the substrate surface of the semiconductor device substrate whose surface is partially silicon oxide is not sufficient.
そこで、本開示は、表面の一部が酸化珪素である半導体デバイス用基板の基板表面に残留するセリアに対する洗浄性に優れる基板の洗浄方法及び半導体デバイス用基板の製造方法を提供する。 Therefore, the present disclosure provides a method for cleaning a substrate having excellent detergency against ceria remaining on the substrate surface of a substrate for a semiconductor device whose surface is partially silicon oxide, and a method for manufacturing a substrate for a semiconductor device.

It is based on the finding that ceria remaining on the substrate surface can be efficiently cleaned by cleaning with an acidic cleaning composition and then with an alkaline cleaning agent composition.

但し、本開示はこのメカニズムに限定して解釈されなくてもよい。
The details of the mechanism of action of the effect in the cleaning method of the present disclosure are unknown, but it is presumed as follows.
After CMP using the ceria slurry, ceria, which is an abrasive grain, remains on the surface of the substrate.

Component A is adsorbed on the attached ceria. Next, when washed with a cleaning agent composition having a pH of 10 or more containing an alkaline agent, it is considered that the carboxylic acid group of the component A is dissociated and the removal of ceria from the substrate surface is promoted.
However, the present disclosure may not be construed as being limited to this mechanism.

[Manufacturing method of substrates for semiconductor devices]
The present disclosure relates to a method for manufacturing a substrate for a semiconductor device (hereinafter, also referred to as "the substrate manufacturing method of the present disclosure"), which comprises a cleaning step of cleaning the substrate to be cleaned by using the cleaning method of the present disclosure in one aspect. .. As the substrate to be cleaned, the above-mentioned substrate can be used. The cleaning method and cleaning conditions in the cleaning step of the substrate manufacturing method of the present disclosure can be the same as the cleaning method of the present disclosure described above. The substrate manufacturing method of the present disclosure includes, in one or more embodiments, a step of performing CMP using a polishing liquid composition containing ceria and a step of cleaning the substrate to be cleaned using the cleaning method of the present disclosure. Can be done.
ここで、CMPを行う工程の具体例を以下に示す。
まず、シリコン基板を酸化炉内で酸素に晒して二酸化シリコン層を含むシリコン基板を形成する。次いで、シリコン基板の二酸化シリコン層側、例えば二酸化シリコン層上に、窒化珪素(Si3N4)膜を、例えばCVD法(化学気相成長法)にて形成する。次に、このようにして得られたシリコン基板と前記シリコン基板の一方の主面側に配置された窒化珪素膜とを含む基板、例えば、シリコン基板とシリコン基板の一方の主面上に配置された窒化珪素膜とを含む基板、又はシリコン基板とシリコン基板の一方の主面上に配置された窒化珪素膜とからなる基板に、フォトリソグラフィー技術を用いて窒化珪素膜を貫通し溝底がシリコン基板内に達したトレンチを形成する。次いで、例えばシランガスと酸素ガスを用いたCVD法により、トレンチ埋め込み用の酸化珪素(SiO2)膜を形成し、前記トレンチに酸化珪素が埋め込まれ、トレンチ及び窒化珪素膜が酸化珪素膜で覆われた被研磨基板を得る。酸化珪素膜の形成により、前記トレンチは酸化珪素膜の酸化珪素で満たされ、窒化珪素膜の前記シリコン基板側の面の反対面は酸化珪素膜によって被覆される。このようにして形成された酸化珪素膜のシリコン基板側の面の反対面は、下層の凸凹に対応して形成された、段差を有する。次いで、CMP法により、酸化珪素膜を、少なくとも窒化珪素膜のシリコン基板側の面の反対面が露出するまでセリアスラリーで研磨し、より好ましくは、酸化珪素膜の表面と窒化珪素膜の表面とが面一になるまで酸化珪素膜を研磨する。
Here, a specific example of the process of performing CMP is shown below.
First, the silicon substrate is exposed to oxygen in an oxidation furnace to form a silicon substrate containing a silicon dioxide layer. Next, a silicon nitride (Si 3 N 4 ) film is formed on the silicon dioxide layer side of the silicon substrate, for example, on the silicon dioxide layer by, for example, a CVD method (chemical vapor deposition method). Next, a substrate containing the silicon substrate thus obtained and a silicon nitride film arranged on one main surface side of the silicon substrate, for example, arranged on one main surface of the silicon substrate and the silicon substrate. A silicon nitride film is used to penetrate a substrate including a silicon nitride film or a substrate composed of a silicon substrate and a silicon nitride film arranged on one main surface of the silicon substrate, and the groove bottom is silicon. It forms a trench that reaches the inside of the substrate. Next, for example, a silicon oxide (SiO 2 ) film for embedding a trench is formed by a CVD method using silane gas and oxygen gas, silicon oxide is embedded in the trench, and the trench and the silicon nitride film are covered with the silicon oxide film. Obtain a substrate to be polished. By forming the silicon oxide film, the trench is filled with the silicon oxide of the silicon oxide film, and the opposite surface of the silicon nitride film on the silicon substrate side is covered with the silicon oxide film. The opposite surface of the surface of the silicon oxide film formed in this manner on the silicon substrate side has a step formed corresponding to the unevenness of the lower layer. Then, by the CMP method, the silicon oxide film is polished with a ceria slurry until at least the opposite surface of the silicon nitride film on the silicon substrate side is exposed, and more preferably, the surface of the silicon oxide film and the surface of the silicon nitride film are formed. Polish the silicon oxide film until is flush.
本開示の基板製造方法は、被洗浄基板の洗浄に本開示の洗浄方法を用いることにより、CMP後の基板表面に残留する砥粒や研磨屑等の異物が低減され、異物が残留することに起因する後工程における不良発生が抑制されるから、信頼性の高い半導体デバイス用基板の製造が可能になる。さらに、本開示の洗浄方法を行うことにより、CMP後の基板表面の砥粒や研磨屑等の残渣の洗浄が容易になることから、洗浄時間が短縮化でき、半導体デバイス用基板の製造効率を向上できる。 In the substrate manufacturing method of the present disclosure, by using the cleaning method of the present disclosure for cleaning the substrate to be cleaned, foreign substances such as abrasive grains and polishing debris remaining on the substrate surface after CMP are reduced, and the foreign substances remain. Since the occurrence of defects in the subsequent process due to this is suppressed, it becomes possible to manufacture a highly reliable substrate for a semiconductor device. Further, by performing the cleaning method of the present disclosure, it becomes easy to clean the residue such as abrasive grains and polishing debris on the substrate surface after CMP, so that the cleaning time can be shortened and the manufacturing efficiency of the substrate for semiconductor devices can be improved. Can be improved.

水に正帯電のセリア(平均一次粒径:45nm)及び2−ヒドロキシピリジン−N−オキシドを混合し、アンモニア水を用いることにより、pHを5に調整し、各濃度が0.15質量%、0.015質量%である研磨液組成物を調製した。研磨前の試験片として、シリコンウエハ(12インチ)の片面に、TEOS−プラズマCVD法で厚さ2000nmの酸化珪素膜を形成したものから、40mm×40mmに切り出した酸化珪素膜試験片を用いた。また、研磨装置には定盤径380mmのテクノライズ社製「R15M−TRK1」を、研磨パッドにはニッタ・ハース株式会社製の積層パッド「IC1000/SUBA400」を用いた。研磨装置の定盤に、研磨パッドを貼り付け、試験片をホルダーにセットし、試験片の酸化珪素膜を形成した面が下になるように、すなわち酸化珪素膜が研磨パッドに接するように、ホルダーを研磨パッドに載せた。さらに、試験片にかかる荷重が300g重/cm2となるように、錘をホルダーに載せ、研磨パッドを貼り付けた定盤の中心に、研磨液組成物を50mL/分の速度で滴下しながら、定盤及びホルダーのそれぞれを同じ回転方向に90回転/分で30秒間回転させて、酸化珪素膜試験片の研磨を行い、洗浄評価用試験片を作製した。
[Preparation of test pieces for cleaning evaluation]
The pH was adjusted to 5 by mixing positively charged ceria (average primary particle size: 45 nm) and 2-hydroxypyridine-N-oxide with water and using aqueous ammonia, and each concentration was 0.15% by mass. A polishing liquid composition having an amount of 0.015% by mass was prepared. As a test piece before polishing, a silicon oxide film test piece cut out to a size of 40 mm × 40 mm was used from a silicon wafer (12 inches) having a silicon oxide film having a thickness of 2000 nm formed on one side by the TEOS-plasma CVD method. .. Further, "R15M-TRK1" manufactured by Technorise Co., Ltd. having a surface plate diameter of 380 mm was used as the polishing device, and "IC1000 / SUBA400" manufactured by Nitta Hearth Co., Ltd. was used as the polishing pad. Attach the polishing pad to the surface plate of the polishing device, set the test piece in the holder, and make sure that the surface of the test piece on which the silicon oxide film is formed faces down, that is, the silicon oxide film is in contact with the polishing pad. The holder was placed on the polishing pad. Further, the weight is placed on the holder so that the load applied to the test piece is 300 g weight / cm 2, and the polishing liquid composition is dropped on the center of the surface plate to which the polishing pad is attached at a rate of 50 mL / min. , Each of the surface plate and the holder was rotated at 90 rotations / minute for 30 seconds in the same rotation direction to polish the silicon oxide film test piece, and a test piece for cleaning evaluation was prepared.
[洗浄性の評価]
まず、洗浄評価用試験片を酸性洗浄剤組成物に浸漬し、マグネチックスターラーを用いて回転数500rpmで30秒間攪拌し、水ですすぐ。次いで、アルカリ洗浄剤組成物に浸漬し、マグネチックスターラーを用いて回転数500rpmで30秒間攪拌し、水ですすぐ。
その後、試験片を、硫酸:20質量%及び過酸化水素:12質量%を含む混合液に浸漬する(浸漬温度:60℃、浸漬時間:12時間)。そして、混合液中のセリウム(Ce)イオン濃度をICP発光分光分析装置(アジレント・テクノロジー社製の“Afilent 5110”)を用いて測定する。測定したセリウムイオン濃度からセリア(CeO2)溶解量(ppb)を算出する。算出結果を表1に示す。セリア溶解量から洗浄性を評価できる。セリア溶解量が少ないほど、洗浄性に優れることを示す。
[Evaluation of detergency]
First, the test piece for cleaning evaluation is immersed in an acidic cleaning agent composition, stirred using a magnetic stirrer at a rotation speed of 500 rpm for 30 seconds, and rinsed with water. Then, it is immersed in an alkaline cleaning agent composition, stirred with a magnetic stirrer at a rotation speed of 500 rpm for 30 seconds, and rinsed with water.
Then, the test piece is immersed in a mixed solution containing sulfuric acid: 20% by mass and hydrogen peroxide: 12% by mass (immersion temperature: 60 ° C., immersion time: 12 hours). Then, the cerium (Ce) ion concentration in the mixture is measured using an ICP emission spectroscopic analyzer (“Afilent 5110” manufactured by Agilent Technologies). The amount of ceria (CeO 2 ) dissolved (ppb) is calculated from the measured cerium ion concentration. The calculation results are shown in Table 1. Detergency can be evaluated from the amount of ceria dissolved. The smaller the amount of ceria dissolved, the better the detergency.
[保存安定性の評価]
酸性洗浄剤組成物の200倍濃縮液100mLを、100mL容量のガラス瓶に入れて密封し、低温(1℃)で1週間保存した。保存前後の酸性洗浄剤組成物の透過率を測定した。透過率の測定にはUV−vis透過率測定装置(島津製作所社製の“UV−2550”)を用いた。そして、下記評価基準に基づいて評価を行った。Aは、酸性洗浄剤組成物が白濁化しておらず、保存安定性が良好であると判断し、Bは、酸性洗浄剤組成物が白濁化し、保存安定性が良好ではないと判断した。結果を表1に示す。
<評価基準>
A:保存前後の透過率の差が10%以下
B:保存前後の透過率の差が10%超
[Evaluation of storage stability]
100 mL of a 200-fold concentrated solution of the acidic cleaning agent composition was placed in a glass bottle having a capacity of 100 mL, sealed, and stored at a low temperature (1 ° C.) for 1 week. The transmittance of the acidic cleaning agent composition before and after storage was measured. A UV-vis transmittance measuring device (“UV-2550” manufactured by Shimadzu Corporation) was used for measuring the transmittance. Then, the evaluation was performed based on the following evaluation criteria. A judged that the acidic cleaning agent composition was not clouded and the storage stability was good, and B judged that the acidic cleaning agent composition was clouded and the storage stability was not good. The results are shown in Table 1.
<Evaluation criteria>
A: Difference in transmittance before and after storage is 10% or less B: Difference in transmittance before and after storage is more than 10%
表1に示すとおり、実施例1〜17の洗浄方法は、比較例1〜8の洗浄方法に比べて、セリアに対する洗浄性に優れていた。また、実施例5〜11で用いた酸性洗浄剤組成物は、保存安定性が良好であった。 As shown in Table 1, the cleaning methods of Examples 1 to 17 were superior in cleaning properties to ceria as compared with the cleaning methods of Comparative Examples 1 to 8. In addition, the acidic cleaning agent compositions used in Examples 5 to 11 had good storage stability.
