However, with the increase in the degree of integration of semiconductor devices,
In the past, even the slightest contamination, which had not been a problem in the past, had a major effect on the physical properties of the device,
The degree of cleanliness of the surface of a semiconductor material after cleaning in a semiconductor manufacturing process is increasingly required. There are two types of contamination on the surface of a semiconductor element: contamination by physical residual impurities, usually called particles, and contamination by metal impurities that cannot be physically and optically observed.

In cleaning using a solution containing hydrofluoric acid, the surface state of the silicon wafer to be cleaned is divided into a hydrophilic region and a hydrophobic region on the solid line as shown in FIG. In the prior art, in order to remove the metal taken in the surface oxide film layer,
Cleaning treatment in this hydrophobic region has been considered effective. However, silicon wafers filled with a hydrophobic liquid are not active.

(FIG. 8I). The semi-hydrophilic surface is considered to have an active Si surface and a residual or reformed oxide film surface (FIG. 8, II). It is presumed that both of them have an active Si surface and thus adsorb particles 12 in air. In contrast, in the cleaning method according to the present invention,
To remove the surface of the oxide film on the wafer and remove the active Si surface, only the dark metal impurity band on the surface of the oxide film is removed to reduce the surface metal concentration and clean without particle adsorption. It is considered that a suitable Si surface can be formed (FIG. 8, III).

The reason for limiting the hydrofluoric acid concentration range of the hydrofluoric acid aqueous solution in the present invention is as follows: The native oxide film thickness is 3-10 ° at the beginning and finally more than 10 °. When such an oxide film is washed with an HF aqueous solution on the order of several percent, it reaches a semi-hydrophilic region within a few seconds, and it is difficult to control the remaining thickness of the oxide film and obtain a uniform film. 0.1% (pure water / HF aqueous solution ratio = 10 3 ) HF of the present invention
When washing with an aqueous solution, it takes 60 seconds to reach the semi-hydrophilic region, but the remaining thickness of the oxide film can be easily controlled and a uniform film can be obtained. As described above, by using an HF aqueous solution having a concentration of at least 0.1% or less, a controllable high-quality residual oxide film can be obtained. Therefore, although a low concentration of HF may be used for the above reason, the effect of removing impurities is reduced. However, 0.0001% (pure water / H
The concentration of aluminum contained in the oxide film of the original wafer at a concentration of F aqueous solution ratio = 10 6 ) was 3.2 × 10 4 and the iron content was 1.
It can be seen that the concentration of 4 × 10 3 (both concentrations are relative intensity ratios of Si by SIMS) is reduced to half by 1.3 × 10 4 and the concentration of iron by 0.9 × 10 3 by treatment for 5 minutes. If the treatment is performed for a longer time, the removal rate of metal impurities is further improved. From these values, it can be estimated that a HF concentration of 0.0001% is sufficiently practical, and even in a thin HF aqueous solution of 0.00001%, the removal effect can be estimated, but this has not been confirmed in experiments. From previous experiments, at least 0.0001% to 0.
By using a 1% HF aqueous solution, the thickness of the oxide film can be controlled, homogenized, and the amount of impurities can be reduced.
