Description

本発明は、静電チャック用窒化アルミニウム焼結体に関する。より詳細に、本発明は、半導体ウェーハを支持する静電チャックに利用される窒化アルミニウム焼結体に関する。 The present invention relates to an aluminum nitride electrostatic chuck sintered body. More specifically, the present invention relates to an aluminum nitride sintered body is used for an electrostatic chuck for supporting a semiconductor wafer.

半導体製造工程や液晶製造工程で半導体基板又はガラス基板を支持する静電チャックが使用されている。静電チャックは、大きくクーロン力を利用する方式とジョンソンラーベク力(Johnson−Rahbek‘s force)を利用する方式とに分類することができる。   An electrostatic chuck that supports a semiconductor substrate or a glass substrate in a semiconductor manufacturing process or a liquid crystal manufacturing process is used. Electrostatic chucks can be broadly classified into methods that use Coulomb force and methods that use Johnson-Rahbek's force.

クーロン力を利用する方式の静電チャックは、誘電体上下面に存在する互いに異なる電荷を有する粒子間の静電気的引力を利用してウェーハを固定する。この場合、誘電体は1×1015Ωcm以上が好ましい。しかし、半導体基板又はガラス基板が大型化されることにより、十分に大きい静電吸着力をウェーハ接触面全体に均一に形成しないという問題がある。 In the electrostatic chuck using the Coulomb force, the wafer is fixed using electrostatic attraction between particles having different charges existing on the upper and lower surfaces of the dielectric. In this case, the dielectric is preferably 1 × 10 15 Ωcm or more. However, when the semiconductor substrate or the glass substrate is enlarged, there is a problem that a sufficiently large electrostatic adsorption force is not uniformly formed on the entire wafer contact surface.

ジョンソンラーベク力を利用する方式の静電チャックは、相対的に低い体積抵抗率、例えば、1×10〜1×1015Ωcmの体積抵抗率を有する誘電体を利用して十分な吸着力を提供することができる。しかし、誘電体の体積抵抗率が1×10Ωcm以下である場合、漏洩電流が発生することがあり、誘電体の体積抵抗率を1×1011〜1×1015Ωcmの範囲に維持されることが必要である。 The electrostatic chuck using the Johnson rabek force has a sufficiently low attracting force by using a dielectric having a relatively low volume resistivity, for example, a volume resistivity of 1 × 10 8 to 1 × 10 15 Ωcm. Can be provided. However, when the volume resistivity of the dielectric is 1 × 10 8 Ωcm or less, leakage current may occur, and the volume resistivity of the dielectric is maintained in the range of 1 × 10 11 to 1 × 10 15 Ωcm. It is necessary to

静電チャックは、これまでに多くの提案があり、例えば、クーロン力を利用した方式の静電チャックとして、十分な吸着力を得ることが可能で、加工中にクラックの生じない静電チャック〔特許文献1参照〕、吸着力を維持しつつ、基板に付着するパーティクルを低減した静電チャック〔特許文献2参照〕などがあり、ジョンソン−ラーベック力を利用した方式の静電チャックとして、セラミックス層と樹脂層の誘電体層と、静電吸着力を発生させる電極を備えて、過剰なリーク電流の発生を抑制し、吸着特性の長期維持、及び基板の脱着応答性の向上を図った静電チャック〔特許文献3参照〕、通常250℃以上の高温雰囲気下においては高い吸着力が得られる窒化アルミニウム静電チャックに対し、窒化アルミニウム焼結体中に窒化チタンと、その他酸化イットリウム、酸化エルビウム、酸化イッテルビウムなどを含有させて200℃以下の温度雰囲気下においても十分な吸着力が得られるようにした静電チャック〔特許文献4参照〕などがある。
また、温度変化に伴う体積抵抗率の変化が小さい窒化アルミニウム焼結体として、サマリウムとランタンの少なくとも1種、鉄およびニッケルを含む窒化アルミニウム焼結体〔特許文献5参照〕、希土類元素を含む窒化アルミニウム焼結体〔特許文献6参照〕の提案がある。
There have been many proposals for an electrostatic chuck so far. For example, as an electrostatic chuck using a Coulomb force, a sufficient attracting force can be obtained, and an electrostatic chuck that does not crack during processing [ [Patent Document 1], there is an electrostatic chuck [refer to Patent Document 2] in which particles adhering to the substrate are reduced while maintaining the attractive force, and a ceramic layer as an electrostatic chuck using a Johnson-Rahbek force. And dielectric layer of resin layer, and electrodes that generate electrostatic adsorption force, suppress the generation of excessive leakage current, maintain the adsorption characteristics for a long time, and improve the desorption response of the substrate Chuck (refer to Patent Document 3), an aluminum nitride electrostatic chuck that can obtain a high adsorption force in a high temperature atmosphere of usually 250 ° C. or higher. When other yttrium oxide, erbium oxide, there is an electrostatic chuck which is adapted sufficient suction force can be obtained even at a temperature atmosphere of 200 ° C. or less contain a like ytterbium oxide [Patent Document 4].
Further, as an aluminum nitride sintered body having a small volume resistivity change with temperature change, an aluminum nitride sintered body containing at least one of samarium and lanthanum, iron and nickel (see Patent Document 5), and a nitride containing a rare earth element There is a proposal of an aluminum sintered body (see Patent Document 6).

又、静電チャックに所定の電圧を印加すると漏洩電流が非線形的に増加する。この時の漏洩電流(I)と印加電圧(V)は下記の式1(式中、Iは漏洩電流、Vは印加電圧、aは非線形係数、kは比例常数)である。

Figure 0004939379
Further, when a predetermined voltage is applied to the electrostatic chuck, the leakage current increases nonlinearly. The leakage current (I) and the applied voltage (V) at this time are represented by the following formula 1 (where I is the leakage current, V is the applied voltage, a is a nonlinear coefficient, and k is a proportional constant).
Figure 0004939379

式1において、印加電圧Vに対する漏洩電流Iの増加係数である非線形係数aの値が1.0以下の値を有することが好ましい。   In Formula 1, it is preferable that the value of the nonlinear coefficient a which is an increase coefficient of the leakage current I with respect to the applied voltage V has a value of 1.0 or less.

従って、本発明の目的は、従来技術における問題点を解決すべく、印加された電圧に対して一定範囲の体積抵抗率を有することができる静電チャック用窒化アルミニウム焼結体を提供することにある。 Accordingly, an object of the present invention is to provide an aluminum nitride sintered body for an electrostatic chuck that can have a volume resistivity within a certain range with respect to an applied voltage in order to solve the problems in the prior art. is there.

上記目的を達成すべく本発明の静電チャック用窒化アルミニウム焼結体は、化学式がCr で示されるクロム酸化物0.1〜1.0重量%と、化学式がY で示されるイットリウム酸化物1.0〜3.0重量%と、残部が窒化アルミニウムで全体を100重量%とした組成でなることを特徴とするElectrostatic aluminum nitride sintered body for a chuck of the present invention for achieving the above and 0.1-1.0% by weight chromic acid compound represented by the chemical formula Cr 2 O 3, the chemical formula in Y 2 O 3 It is characterized by comprising 1.0 to 3.0% by weight of the yttrium oxide shown and a composition in which the balance is aluminum nitride and the whole is 100% by weight.

また、本発明の窒化アルミニウム焼結体は、体積抵抗率が常温で1×1013〜1×1015Ωcmであり、100V/mmの電場における体積抵抗率に対し、3000V/mmの電場における体積抵抗率の変化率が、5%以内であることを特徴とするFurther, the aluminum nitride sintered body of the present invention is 1 × 10 13 ~1 × 10 15 Ωcm body volume resistivity at room temperature, to the volume resistivity at an electric field of 1 00V / mm, the electric field of 3000 V / mm the volume resistivity of the rate of change in, characterized in that it is within 5%.

本発明による静電チャック用窒化アルミニウム焼結体は、アルミニウム窒化物を主成分とし、クロム酸化物0.1〜1.0重量%を加えて全体で100重量%とした組成でなっており、窒化アルミニウム焼結体の体積抵抗率は、常温で1×1013Ωcm〜1×1015Ωcmである。 The aluminum nitride sintered body for an electrostatic chuck according to the present invention is composed of aluminum nitride as a main component, and 0.1 to 1.0% by weight of chromium oxide and 100% by weight as a whole, The volume resistivity of the aluminum nitride sintered body is 1 × 10 13 Ωcm to 1 × 10 15 Ωcm at room temperature.

窒化アルミニウム焼結体の組成において、クロム酸化物が0.1重量%未満であるとき、窒化アルミニウム焼結体の高印加電圧時の体積抵抗率が1×1013Ωcm以下に低下し、1.0重量%を超えても窒化アルミニウム焼結体でも高印加電圧時に体積抵抗率が1×1013Ωcm以下に低下する。又、0.1重量%未満又は1.0重量%超過のクロム酸化物を含む窒化アルミニウム焼結体では、100V/mmの電場における体積抵抗率に対し、3000V/mmの電場における体積抵抗率の変化率が大きくなる。 In the composition of the aluminum nitride sintered body, when the chromium oxide is less than 0.1% by weight, the volume resistivity of the aluminum nitride sintered body at a high applied voltage is reduced to 1 × 10 13 Ωcm or less. Even when the content exceeds 0% by weight, the volume resistivity decreases to 1 × 10 13 Ωcm or less at a high applied voltage even when the sintered aluminum nitride is used. In addition, in the aluminum nitride sintered body containing less than 0.1 wt% or more than 1.0 wt% chromium oxide, the volume resistivity in an electric field of 3000 V / mm is compared with the volume resistivity in an electric field of 100 V / mm. The rate of change increases.

また、本発明による静電チャック用窒化アルミニウム焼結体は、その焼結性を向上させるために、さらに酸化イットリウムを加えることとし、窒化アルミニウムを主成分とし、これにクロム酸化物0.1〜1.0重量%と、酸化イットリウム1.0〜3.0重量%を加えて全体で100重量%とした組成とすることもできる。   In addition, the aluminum nitride sintered body for electrostatic chucks according to the present invention further includes yttrium oxide in order to improve the sinterability, and contains aluminum nitride as a main component, and chromium oxide 0.1 to It is also possible to obtain a composition that is 100% by weight by adding 1.0% by weight and 1.0 to 3.0% by weight of yttrium oxide.

この組成で、酸化イットリウムが1.0重量%未満のとき、窒化アルミニウム焼結体の焼結性が悪くなり、相対密度が低下することがあり、酸化イットリウムが3.0重量%を超えたときには、窒化アルミニウム焼結体の体積抵抗率は増加する反面、100V/mmの電場における体積抵抗率に対し、3000V/mmの電場における体積抵抗率の変化率が大きくなることがある。   With this composition, when the yttrium oxide is less than 1.0% by weight, the sinterability of the aluminum nitride sintered body is deteriorated, and the relative density may be lowered. When the yttrium oxide exceeds 3.0% by weight Although the volume resistivity of the aluminum nitride sintered body increases, the rate of change in volume resistivity at an electric field of 3000 V / mm may be larger than the volume resistivity at an electric field of 100 V / mm.

次に窒化アルミニウム焼結体の形成方法について述べる。まず、クロム酸0.1〜1.0重量%と、残部が窒化アルミニウムで全体を100重量%とした組成割合で窒化アルミニウム粉末とクロム酸化物粉末を混合し、さらに溶媒に入れて混合した後、乾燥粉砕する。溶媒の例として、無水エタノールが挙げられる。   Next, a method for forming an aluminum nitride sintered body will be described. First, after mixing aluminum nitride powder and chromium oxide powder in a composition ratio of 0.1 to 1.0% by weight of chromic acid and the balance being aluminum nitride and the whole being 100% by weight, and further mixed in a solvent , Dry and pulverize. An example of the solvent is absolute ethanol.

また、別の実施の形態では、クロム酸0.1〜1.0重量%と、イットリウム酸化物1.0〜3.0重量%と、残部が窒化アルミニウムで全体を100重量%とした組成割合で窒化アルミニウム粉末とクロム酸化物粉末、およびイットリウム酸化物粉末を混合し、さらに溶媒に入れて混合した後、乾燥粉砕する。   In another embodiment, the composition ratio is 0.1 to 1.0% by weight of chromic acid, 1.0 to 3.0% by weight of yttrium oxide, the balance being aluminum nitride and the whole being 100% by weight. The aluminum nitride powder, the chromium oxide powder, and the yttrium oxide powder are mixed with each other, and further mixed in a solvent, followed by drying and pulverizing.

次いで、窒化アルミニウム粉末にクロム酸化物粉末、第二の実施の形態ではさらにイットリウム酸化物粉末が加えられた粉末混合物を焼結して窒化アルミニウム焼結体とする。   Next, a powder mixture obtained by adding chromium oxide powder to the aluminum nitride powder and further adding yttrium oxide powder in the second embodiment is sintered to obtain an aluminum nitride sintered body.

焼結工程における焼結温度は、好ましくは1700〜1850℃、さらに好ましくは1750〜1800℃とし、好ましくは1〜10時間、さらに好ましくは2〜5時間焼成する。焼結維持時間が1時間未満では窒化アルミニウム焼結体の相対密度が低下することがある。また、焼結時間が10時間を超えることは焼結体の性状には実質弊害がないが、長時間行うことの利点もなく、経済的に不利になる。   The sintering temperature in the sintering step is preferably 1700 to 1850 ° C., more preferably 1750 to 1800 ° C., preferably 1 to 10 hours, more preferably 2 to 5 hours. If the sintering maintenance time is less than 1 hour, the relative density of the aluminum nitride sintered body may decrease. Further, if the sintering time exceeds 10 hours, the properties of the sintered body are not substantially detrimental, but there is no advantage of performing for a long time, which is economically disadvantageous.

このように製造された本発明による窒化アルミニウム焼結体は常温で1×1013Ωcm〜1×1015Ωcm範囲の体積抵抗率を有する。又、この焼結体は、低電場に比べて、高電場での体積抵抗率の変化が小さい特徴をもつ。すなわち、100V/mmの電場における体積抵抗率(A)と、3000V/mmの電場における体積抵抗率(B)の比(A/B)が小さく、電圧の影響が少ないことが確認された。 The aluminum nitride sintered body according to the present invention thus manufactured has a volume resistivity in the range of 1 × 10 13 Ωcm to 1 × 10 15 Ωcm at room temperature. Further, this sintered body has a feature that a change in volume resistivity at a high electric field is small as compared with a low electric field. That is, it was confirmed that the ratio (A / B) of the volume resistivity (A) in the electric field of 100 V / mm and the volume resistivity (B) in the electric field of 3000 V / mm is small, and the influence of the voltage is small.

2. Volume resistivity measurement method of aluminum nitride sintered body: A disk-shaped test piece having a diameter of 210 mm and a thickness of 0.5 mm was manufactured from the aluminum nitride sintered body, and the electrode shape was set to a main electrode diameter of 26 mm and a protective electrode diameter of 38 mm.

表3及び図1〜図5を参照すると、全組成100重量%に対し、クロム酸化物0.1重量%未満又は1.0重量%を超える比較例1及び2では、クロム酸化物0.1〜1.0重量%を含む窒化アルミニウム焼結体である実施例に比べて、高印加電場で体積抵抗率が顕著に減少していることが確認できる。特に、比較例1及び2では、窒化アルミニウム焼結体の試片に3000V/mmの電場が印加されると、100V/mmの電場の場合と比較して、顕著に体積抵抗率が小さくなっていることが確認できる。   Referring to Table 3 and FIGS. 1 to 5, in Comparative Examples 1 and 2 where the chromium oxide is less than 0.1 wt% or more than 1.0 wt% with respect to 100 wt% of the total composition, the chromium oxide is 0.1 wt%. It can be confirmed that the volume resistivity is remarkably reduced at a high applied electric field as compared with the example of the aluminum nitride sintered body containing ˜1.0% by weight. In particular, in Comparative Examples 1 and 2, when an electric field of 3000 V / mm is applied to a specimen of an aluminum nitride sintered body, the volume resistivity is remarkably reduced as compared with the case of an electric field of 100 V / mm. It can be confirmed.

具体的に、比較例1による窒化アルミニウム焼結体に100V/mmの電場が印加されたとき体積抵抗率が2.93×1014Ωcmである反面、3000V/mmの電場が印加されたとき体積抵抗率が8.95×1012Ωcmである。従って、100V/mmの電場に対する体積抵抗率(A)と3000V/mmの電場に対するそれぞれの体積抵抗率(B)の比(A/B)は32.7であり、高電場が印加されたとき体積抵抗率が顕著に減少することが確認できる。 Specifically, the volume resistivity is 2.93 × 10 14 Ωcm when an electric field of 100 V / mm is applied to the aluminum nitride sintered body according to Comparative Example 1, while the volume is when an electric field of 3000 V / mm is applied.
