Description
本発明は、SOQ基板を用いた半導体基板の製造方法に関するものである。
The present invention relates to the production how the semiconductor substrate using the SOQ substrate.
絶縁体層上に設けられたシリコン層を半導体装置の形成に利用するSOI(Silicon On Insulator)技術は、α線耐性、ラッチアップ特性、あるいはショートチャネルの抑制効果など、通常の単結晶シリコン基板では達成し得ない優れた特性を示すため、半導体装置の高集積化を目的として開発が進められている。 SOI (Silicon On Insulator) technology, which uses a silicon layer provided on an insulator layer for the formation of a semiconductor device, has an α-ray resistance, a latch-up characteristic, or a short channel suppression effect in a normal single crystal silicon substrate. In order to exhibit excellent characteristics that cannot be achieved, development has been promoted for the purpose of high integration of semiconductor devices.
最近では、100nm以下の厚さにまで薄膜化されたSOI層にデバイスを形成したものによって、優れたショートチャネル抑制効果が見いだされている。また、このようにして形成されたSOIデバイスは、放射線耐性に優れていることによる高信頼性を備えるとともに、寄生容量の低減による素子の高速化や低消費電力化を図れること、あるいは完全空乏型電界効果トランジスタを作製できることによるプロセスルールの微細化を図れることなどの優れた点を備えている。 Recently, an excellent short channel suppression effect has been found by forming a device on an SOI layer thinned to a thickness of 100 nm or less. In addition, the SOI device formed in this way has high reliability due to its excellent radiation resistance, and can increase the speed and power consumption of the element by reducing parasitic capacitance, or can be completely depleted. It has excellent points such as miniaturization of process rules due to the ability to produce field effect transistors.
このようなSOI構造を形成する方法としては、単結晶シリコン基板の貼り合わせによるSOI基板の製造方法がある。一般に貼り合わせ法と呼ばれるこの方法は、単結晶シリコン基板と支持基板とを酸化膜を介して重ね合わせ、基板表面のOH基を利用して室温程度で貼り合わせた後、単結晶シリコン基板を研削や研磨、またはエッチングによって薄膜化し、続いて700℃〜1200℃程度の熱処理によってシロキサン結合(Si−O−Si)して、貼り合わせ強度を上げて、単結晶シリコン層を支持基板上に形成するものである。この手法では、単結晶シリコン基板を直接、薄膜化するので、シリコン薄膜の結晶性に優れ、高性能のデバイスを作成できる。また、この貼り合わせ法を応用したものとして、単結晶シリコン基板に水素イオンを注入し、これを支持基板と貼り合わせた後、400℃〜600℃程度の熱処理によって薄膜シリコン層を単結晶シリコン基板の水素注入領域から分離し、次に1100℃程度までの熱処理で貼り合わせ強度を上げる手法や、表面を多孔質化したシリコン基板上に単結晶シリコン層をエピタキシャル成長させ、これを支持基板と貼り合わせた後にシリコン基板を除去し、多孔質シリコン層をエッチングすることにより支持基板上にエピタキシャル単結晶シリコン薄膜を形成する手法などが知られている。 As a method for forming such an SOI structure, there is a method for manufacturing an SOI substrate by bonding single crystal silicon substrates. This method, commonly referred to as a bonding method, is a method in which a single crystal silicon substrate and a support substrate are overlapped via an oxide film, bonded together at room temperature using OH groups on the substrate surface, and then the single crystal silicon substrate is ground. The film is thinned by polishing, polishing, or etching, and then siloxane bond (Si—O—Si) is formed by heat treatment at about 700 ° C. to 1200 ° C. to increase the bonding strength, and a single crystal silicon layer is formed on the supporting substrate. Is. In this method, since the single crystal silicon substrate is directly thinned, a silicon thin film having excellent crystallinity and a high performance device can be produced. Further, as an application of this bonding method, hydrogen ions are implanted into a single crystal silicon substrate, bonded to a support substrate, and then a thin film silicon layer is formed by heat treatment at about 400 ° C. to 600 ° C. A method of increasing the bonding strength by heat treatment up to about 1100 ° C. after separating from the hydrogen injection region of this layer, or epitaxially growing a single crystal silicon layer on a porous silicon substrate and bonding this to a support substrate After that, a method of forming an epitaxial single crystal silicon thin film on a supporting substrate by removing the silicon substrate and etching the porous silicon layer is known.
貼り合わせ法によるSOI基板は通常のバルク半導体基板(半導体集積回路)と同様に、様々なデバイスの作製に用いることができるが、従来のバルク基板と異なる点として、支持基板に様々な材料を使用することが可能である点を挙げることができる。すなわち、支持基板としては、通常のシリコン基板はもちろんのこと、透光性を備えた石英基板、あるいはガラス基板などを用いることができる。従って、透光性基板上に単結晶シリコン薄膜を形成することによって、光透過性を必要とするデバイス、例えば、透過型の液晶装置などの電気光学装置においても、アクティブマトリクス基板上に、結晶性に優れた単結晶シリコン層を用いて高性能なトランジスタ素子を形成することができる。すなわち、画素電極を駆動する画素スイッチング用MIS形トランジスタや、画像表示領域の周辺領域で駆動回路を構成する駆動回路用MIS形トランジスタを単結晶シリコン層であるSOI層に形成することにより表示の微細化、高速化を図ることができる。(特許文献1参照) The SOI substrate by the bonding method can be used for manufacturing various devices like a normal bulk semiconductor substrate (semiconductor integrated circuit). However, as a difference from the conventional bulk substrate, various materials are used for the support substrate. The point which can be done can be mentioned. That is, as the supporting substrate, not only a normal silicon substrate but also a translucent quartz substrate or a glass substrate can be used. Therefore, by forming a single-crystal silicon thin film on a light-transmitting substrate, even in a device that requires light transmission, for example, an electro-optical device such as a transmission-type liquid crystal device, A high-performance transistor element can be formed using a single crystal silicon layer that is excellent in the above. That is, by forming a pixel switching MIS type transistor for driving a pixel electrode or a driving circuit MIS type transistor constituting a driving circuit in a peripheral region of the image display region in an SOI layer which is a single crystal silicon layer, fine display can be achieved. And speeding up can be achieved. (See Patent Document 1)

FIG. 6B is a diagram in which a portion other than the plurality of
(C) is a view in which an insulating film (for example, a silicon nitride film) 5 is formed thereon. The silicon nitride film 5 is formed and removed many times during the LSI manufacturing process. The thermal expansion coefficients of the silicon film 3 are 3.9 × 10 −6 / ° C. and the silicon nitride film 5 is 3.5 × 10 −6 / ° C., which are almost the same, and the heat caused by the thermal expansion coefficient There was little generation of stress.
ここで、透過型液晶表示装置のコントラストを上げるために、透過型液晶表示装置に使用するSOI基板として光透過率の高い石英を使用したSOQ基板を用いた場合、支持基板である石英基板と半導体プロセスで形成される絶縁膜において、例えば900℃〜1100℃程度で形成する窒化シリコン膜の熱膨張係数(3.5×10−6/℃)と石英基板の熱膨張係数(0.5×10−6/℃)間では熱膨張係数が大きく違う。900℃〜1100℃から室温(25℃)まで温度を下げると窒化シリコン膜には強い引張り応力が発生し、窒化シリコン膜の剥離あるいは窒化シリコン膜に囲繞された半導体素子部に悪影響を与える。 Here, in order to increase the contrast of the transmissive liquid crystal display device, when an SOQ substrate using quartz with high light transmittance is used as the SOI substrate used in the transmissive liquid crystal display device, the quartz substrate which is the supporting substrate and the semiconductor In the insulating film formed by the process, for example, the thermal expansion coefficient (3.5 × 10 −6 / ° C.) of the silicon nitride film formed at about 900 ° C. to 1100 ° C. and the thermal expansion coefficient (0.5 × 10 10) of the quartz substrate. The coefficient of thermal expansion differs greatly between -6 / ℃. When the temperature is lowered from 900 ° C. to 1100 ° C. to room temperature (25 ° C.), a strong tensile stress is generated in the silicon nitride film, which adversely affects the peeling of the silicon nitride film or the semiconductor element portion surrounded by the silicon nitride film.
