Description
本発明は、ＳｉＣエピタキシャル炉内の部材等に堆積した炭化珪素（ＳｉＣ）を含有する堆積物を除去するためのクリーニング方法に関する。 The present invention relates to a cleaning method for removing deposits containing silicon carbide (SiC) deposited on members and the like in a SiC epitaxial furnace.
炭化珪素（ＳｉＣ）は、重要なセラミックス材料として多方面で使用されている。近年、炭化珪素のエピタキシャル成長技術が注目されており、特にその絶縁破壊電圧の高さや高温作動時における信頼性から、低消費電力のトランジスタなどの用途が開発されている。
このような用途に用いられる炭化珪素は、高純度な単結晶である必要がある。大型の炭化珪素単結晶の製造法としては、化学気相堆積法（Ｃｈｅｍｉｃａｌ Ｖａｐｏｒ Ｄｅｐｏｓｉｔｉｏｎ法；ＣＶＤ法）を用いてプロパンガスとシランガスなどの化学反応により膜成長させる方法や、モノメチルシランをＣＶＤ法の原料として膜成長させる方法が知られている。Silicon carbide (SiC) is used in various fields as an important ceramic material. 2. Description of the Related Art In recent years, attention has been paid to silicon carbide epitaxial growth technology. In particular, applications such as low power consumption transistors have been developed because of its high dielectric breakdown voltage and reliability at high temperature operation.
Silicon carbide used for such an application needs to be a high-purity single crystal. As a method for manufacturing a large silicon carbide single crystal, a method of growing a film by a chemical reaction such as a propane gas and a silane gas using a chemical vapor deposition method (Chemical Vapor Deposition method; CVD method), or a method of forming monomethylsilane by a CVD method A method of growing a film as a raw material is known.
これらのＣＶＤ法を用いて、高純度な炭化珪素（ＳｉＣ）単結晶を作製するには、炭化珪素成膜時に、１５００℃以上の高い温度が必要である。そのため、反応容器（ＳｉＣエピタキシャル炉）の内壁やウエハを設置するサセプタなどの装置基材（以下、「部材」と略記することがある。）には、高耐熱性材料である、主としてカーボン母材の表面にＣＶＤ法によって緻密な多結晶のＳｉＣを被覆したもの（ＳｉＣコート）が用いられる。 In order to manufacture a high-purity silicon carbide (SiC) single crystal using these CVD methods, a high temperature of 1500 ° C. or higher is required when forming a silicon carbide film. Therefore, a base material (hereinafter, sometimes abbreviated as “member”) such as an inner wall of a reaction vessel (SiC epitaxial furnace) or a susceptor on which a wafer is placed is mainly a carbon base material which is a high heat-resistant material. (SiC coat) coated with dense polycrystalline SiC by CVD.
また、ＣＶＤ法による膜成長では、反応容器の内壁やサセプタなど意図しない部位にも炭化珪素が付着し、堆積してしまう。それら意図しない部分に堆積した炭化珪素の微粒子（ＳｉＣ堆積物）は、時として剥離、脱落し、炭化珪素薄膜の成長表面に落下して付着し、結晶成長を阻害したり、欠陥を生じさせたりする原因となる。そのため、定期的に反応容器の内壁の堆積した炭化珪素を取り除かなければならない。その除去方法としては、従来、炭化珪素が反応容器の内壁に堆積した場合には、工具を用いて剥離除去するか、容器を定期的に交換する方法が採用されていた。 In the film growth by the CVD method, silicon carbide also adheres to unintended portions such as the inner wall of the reaction vessel and the susceptor, and is deposited. The silicon carbide fine particles (SiC deposits) deposited on those unintended portions sometimes peel off and fall off, fall and adhere to the growth surface of the silicon carbide thin film, and inhibit crystal growth or cause defects. Cause you to Therefore, it is necessary to periodically remove the silicon carbide deposited on the inner wall of the reaction vessel. Conventionally, when silicon carbide has accumulated on the inner wall of the reaction vessel, a method of removing the silicon carbide using a tool or periodically replacing the vessel has been adopted.
堆積した炭化珪素の削り取りや反応容器の交換には長い作業時間を要し、反応器を長期間にわたり大気開放する必要があることから、歩留まりの悪化など生産性にも影響を与える原因となっていた。そのため、装置を開放することなく、無機物質を効率よく除去するガスを用いて、装置内部に付着した炭化珪素を化学的に除去するクリーニング方法が検討されている。 It takes a long working time to remove the deposited silicon carbide and replace the reaction vessel, and it is necessary to open the reactor to the atmosphere for a long period of time. Was. Therefore, a cleaning method for chemically removing silicon carbide adhered to the inside of the device by using a gas that efficiently removes an inorganic substance without opening the device has been studied.
特許文献１（特開２０１４−１５４８６５号公報）には、七フッ化ヨウ素を含むクリーニングガスにより、基材を構成するグラファイトをエッチングして損傷を与えることなく、炭化珪素を含有する堆積物を除去する方法が記載されている。七フッ化ヨウ素ガスは、グラファイトへのダメージを抑え炭化珪素を除去することができる優れたクリーニングガスではあるが、コーティングとして被覆された炭化珪素とその上に堆積した炭化珪素(堆積物)との反応選択性に乏しいという問題がある。また、特許文献１には、より一般的なエッチングガスであるフッ素ガス（Ｆ2）がクリーニングガスとして不適であることを示す比較例が記載されている。Patent Document 1 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2014-154865) discloses that a cleaning gas containing iodine heptafluoride removes deposits containing silicon carbide without etching and damaging graphite constituting a base material. A method is described. Iodine heptafluoride gas is an excellent cleaning gas that can suppress damage to graphite and remove silicon carbide.However, silicon carbide coated as a coating and silicon carbide (deposit) deposited on it There is a problem that reaction selectivity is poor. Patent Document 1 describes a comparative example showing that fluorine gas (F 2 ), which is a more general etching gas, is not suitable as a cleaning gas.
窒素ガスなどの不活性ガスで希釈したフッ素ガスによるクリーニングのデータが示されていない特許文献１の記載内容から、仮に窒素ガス（Ｎ2）などで希釈したフッ素ガスを用いた場合に、グラファイト等のカーボン母材に予め被覆された炭化珪素へダメージを与えることなく、材質のダメージが抑えられ、ＳｉＣエピタキシャル炉内の部材に堆積した炭化珪素（ＳｉＣ）を含有する堆積物のみを選択的に除去できることは当業者には予測困難であると考えられる。According to the description in Patent Document 1 which does not show data on cleaning with fluorine gas diluted with an inert gas such as nitrogen gas, if fluorine gas diluted with nitrogen gas (N 2 ) or the like is used, graphite or the like is used. Damage to the material is suppressed without damaging the silicon carbide previously coated on the carbon base material, and only deposits containing silicon carbide (SiC) deposited on members in the SiC epitaxial furnace are selectively removed. What can be done is considered difficult to predict by those skilled in the art.
特許文献２（特開２０１３−２５１４８７号公報）には、予めプラズマ化された三フッ化窒素等のフッ素含有ガスにより炭化珪素よりなる付着物を除去する方法が示されている。
特許文献２では、プラズマ状態のガスを用いるため、プラズマを発生させるために特別な装置が必要になる。また、炭化珪素よりなる堆積物以外の部材、特にカーボン母材の表面にＣＶＤ法によって緻密な多結晶のＳｉＣを被覆したもの（ＳｉＣコート）へのダメージを防ぐことは困難であった。Patent Literature 2 (Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2013-251487) discloses a method for removing deposits made of silicon carbide using a fluorine-containing gas such as nitrogen trifluoride that has been made into plasma in advance.
In Patent Literature 2, since a gas in a plasma state is used, a special device is required to generate plasma. Further, it has been difficult to prevent damage to members other than the deposit made of silicon carbide, particularly those in which the surface of a carbon base material is coated with dense polycrystalline SiC by a CVD method (SiC coat).
本発明の目的は、より一般的なエッチングガスであるフッ素ガス（Ｆ2）を用いて、カーボン母材の表面にＣＶＤ法によって緻密な多結晶のＳｉＣを被覆（コート）された基材に堆積した炭化珪素を含有する堆積物のクリーニング処理において、緻密な多結晶のＳｉＣコートに損傷を与えることなく、十分なクリーニング速度でＳｉＣ堆積物を除去できる方法を提供することにある。An object of the present invention is to deposit fluorine-containing gas (F 2 ), which is a more general etching gas, on a substrate in which dense polycrystalline SiC is coated (coated) on the surface of a carbon base material by a CVD method. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method capable of removing a SiC deposit at a sufficient cleaning rate without damaging a dense polycrystalline SiC coat in a cleaning process of a deposited silicon carbide-containing deposit.
本発明者らは、上記の課題を解決すべく鋭意検討した結果、不活性ガスで希釈されたフッ素ガスを、特定範囲の濃度でかつ特定の温度範囲の条件で流通させることにより、緻密な多結晶のＳｉＣで被覆された基材を損傷することなく、炭化珪素含有堆積物を優先的に除去できることを見出し本発明を完成した。

Further, the present invention can be applied not only to the removal of unnecessary SiC deposits adhering to the inner wall of a manufacturing apparatus for growing a large-sized bulk crystal such as a hexagonal SiC wafer but also to its attached parts, as well as a thin film and a thick film of silicon carbide. Among these, application to a film forming apparatus is preferable, and in particular, application to an SiC deposit deposited on an inner wall of a film forming apparatus for performing epitaxial film growth of silicon carbide which is formed under a high temperature condition or an accessory thereof. Is more preferred. Among these, application to a susceptor for installing an inner wall of a manufacturing apparatus and a semiconductor wafer on which unnecessary deposits are easily deposited is particularly preferable.
本発明の方法では、特定の濃度範囲に希釈したフッ素ガスを用いて、上述の基材を反応器に設置したヒーターで特定の温度範囲に加熱しながら基材の表面に形成されている炭化珪素を含有する堆積物を選択的に除去する。基材に堆積した不要な堆積物が本発明の方法により除去される機構としては、フッ素の熱分解によって生じたフッ素ラジカルが堆積物中の炭化珪素と反応してＳｉＦ4、ＣＦ4となることにより除去されると考えられる。In the method of the present invention, using a fluorine gas diluted to a specific concentration range, silicon carbide formed on the surface of the substrate while heating the above-described substrate to a specific temperature range with a heater installed in a reactor Is selectively removed. The mechanism by which unnecessary deposits deposited on the substrate are removed by the method of the present invention is that fluorine radicals generated by thermal decomposition of fluorine react with silicon carbide in the deposits to form SiF 4 and CF 4. Is considered to be removed.
内壁に付着するＳｉＣ膜は、内壁を構成する緻密な多結晶のＳｉＣ膜（ＳｉＣコート膜）とは異なり、緻密でない多結晶の膜と考えられる。ＳｉＣコート膜は灰色で表面が滑らかであるのに対し、堆積物は黄色であり、肉眼でも細かな粒子の集合体であることが確認できる。表面粗さで示すとコート膜の表面粗さがＲａ≦４であるのに対し、堆積物の表面粗さはＲａ≧１０である。
この緻密でない多結晶のＳｉＣ膜のエッチングレートは、緻密な多結晶のＳｉＣ膜に比較して十分速くなると予想されるが、１００％のＦ2ガスを用いた場合には、同一成分であるコート膜と堆積物のエッチングレートには堆積物が選択的に除去されるほどの差は生じない（特許文献３）。The SiC film adhering to the inner wall is considered to be a non-dense polycrystalline film unlike the dense polycrystalline SiC film (SiC coat film) constituting the inner wall. While the SiC coat film is gray and has a smooth surface, the deposit is yellow and the naked eye can confirm that it is an aggregate of fine particles. In terms of surface roughness, the surface roughness of the coating film is Ra ≦ 4, whereas the surface roughness of the deposit is Ra ≧ 10.
It is expected that the etching rate of the non-dense polycrystalline SiC film will be sufficiently faster than that of the dense polycrystalline SiC film. However, when 100% F 2 gas is used, the coating rate of the same component is reduced. There is no difference between the etching rates of the film and the deposit such that the deposit is selectively removed (Patent Document 3).
そこで、本発明者らは、Ｆ2ガスを不活性ガスで希釈した混合ガスをエッチングガスとする方法について検討した。そして、フッ素濃度が１〜２０体積％、好ましくは５〜１５％の範囲で、十分なエッチングレート差が得られることを確認した。この濃度範囲に希釈したＦ2ガスを用いることにより、緻密な多結晶のＳｉＣ膜と、緻密でない多結晶のＳｉＣ膜との間のエッチングレートに明確な差が認められる。すなわち、エッチングレートの差を利用することにより、内壁を構成するＳｉＣ膜を実質的にエッチングすることなく、内壁に付着したＳｉＣ膜をエッチング除去することができる。Therefore, the present inventors have studied a method of using a mixed gas obtained by diluting F 2 gas with an inert gas as an etching gas. Then, it was confirmed that a sufficient etching rate difference was obtained when the fluorine concentration was in the range of 1 to 20% by volume, preferably 5 to 15%. By using the F 2 gas diluted to this concentration range, a clear difference is observed in the etching rate between the dense polycrystalline SiC film and the non-dense polycrystalline SiC film. That is, by utilizing the difference in the etching rates, the SiC film adhering to the inner wall can be removed by etching without substantially etching the SiC film forming the inner wall.
本発明で使用する不活性ガスは特に限定されるものではないが、窒素ガス（Ｎ2）、アルゴンガス（Ａｒ）、ヘリウムガス（Ｈｅ）、及び空気が挙げられる。これらの中でもＮ2及びＡｒが好ましい。The inert gas used in the present invention is not particularly limited, but includes nitrogen gas (N 2 ), argon gas (Ar), helium gas (He), and air. Among them, N 2 and Ar are preferable.
クリーニングの反応条件に関しては、反応温度は炭化珪素を含む堆積物が堆積した基材の温度を２００〜５００℃、好ましくは２５０〜３５０℃の範囲に設定する。２００℃より低い温度では十分なクリーニング性能が得られない場合がある。５００℃より高い温度の場合、エッチングレートの差が少なくなるだけでなく、エネルギーの無駄になり消費電力などランニングコストが高くなる。 Regarding the cleaning reaction conditions, the reaction temperature is set to a temperature of the substrate on which the deposit containing silicon carbide is deposited, in the range of 200 to 500 ° C, preferably 250 to 350 ° C. If the temperature is lower than 200 ° C., sufficient cleaning performance may not be obtained. When the temperature is higher than 500 ° C., not only the difference in etching rate is reduced, but also energy is wasted and running costs such as power consumption are increased.
反応温度は反応器に設置されたヒーターにより制御される。ヒーターとしては装置全体を温める加熱器を用いてもよいし、加熱ターゲット部材のみを温めてその伝熱により付着物を温めるような加熱器を用いてもよい。センサーは付着物付近に設置する。センサーを直接ガスに接触させられない場合には、内挿管等を用いてもよい。 The reaction temperature is controlled by a heater installed in the reactor. As the heater, a heater that heats the entire apparatus may be used, or a heater that heats only the heating target member and heats the deposit by heat transfer may be used. The sensor is installed near the deposit. When the sensor cannot be brought into direct contact with the gas, an intubation tube or the like may be used.
反応の圧力については、特に制限されるものではない。通常は大気圧下で行うが、−０．０５〜０．３ＭＰａＧが適用可能である。
クリーニングガスの流量は、クリーニング装置の反応器容量により適宜調整されるが、線速度（ＬＶ）として、ＬＶ＝０．１〜１０ｍ／ｍｉｎが好ましい。The reaction pressure is not particularly limited. Usually, it is performed under atmospheric pressure, but -0.05 to 0.3 MPaG can be applied.
The flow rate of the cleaning gas is appropriately adjusted depending on the reactor capacity of the cleaning device, and the linear velocity (LV) is preferably LV = 0.1 to 10 m / min.
本発明のクリーニング方法は、ＣＶＤ法により半導体デバイス、コーティング工具などの薄膜を形成する炭化珪素製膜装置やウイスカ、粉末などを製造する炭化珪素製造装置の内壁及び前記装置の付属部品に堆積したＳｉＣ堆積物の除去に適用できる。また、炭化珪素の薄膜、厚膜等のみでなく六方晶ＳｉＣウエハなどの大型バルク結晶成長を行う製造装置の内壁またはその付属部品に付着した不要なＳｉＣ堆積物の除去にも適用可能である。これらのうち、成膜装置への適用が好ましく、特に、高温条件での成膜が行われる炭化珪素のエピタキシャル膜成長を行う製膜装置の内壁またはその付属部品に堆積したＳｉＣ堆積物の除去への適用が好ましい。 The cleaning method of the present invention is a method for forming a thin film such as a semiconductor device and a coating tool by a CVD method, a silicon carbide film forming apparatus for forming a thin film, a whisker, and a silicon carbide manufacturing apparatus for manufacturing powders. Applicable for removing sediment. Further, the present invention can be applied not only to the removal of unnecessary SiC deposits adhering to the inner wall of a manufacturing apparatus for growing a large-sized bulk crystal such as a hexagonal SiC wafer but also to its attached parts, as well as a thin film and a thick film of silicon carbide. Among these, application to a film forming apparatus is preferable, and particularly, to removal of SiC deposits deposited on an inner wall of a film forming apparatus for performing epitaxial film growth of silicon carbide which is formed under a high temperature condition or an accessory part thereof. Is preferred.

The SiC epitaxial growth process was repeated in a SiC epitaxial furnace having a chamber member in which a carbon base material was coated with SiC, and the chamber member on which the SiC deposit had been deposited was cut into a size of 5 mm square to obtain a sample for evaluation. In addition, a control sample having a size of 1 cm square was cut out from a member in the chamber coated with SiC by performing a SiC epitaxial growth step (no deposit was deposited). In the control sample, the coating film was gray and the surface was smooth, whereas in the evaluation sample, the deposit was a collection of fine yellow particles, and the difference between the two could be confirmed with the naked eye. As a result of SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope) observation, as shown in FIG. 2A, the thickness of each SiC coat was 70 μm, and the thickness of the deposit (depot) of the evaluation sample was about 250 μm.

実施例及び比較例の結果を表１にまとめて示す。
表１より、フッ素ガス１〜２０体積％と不活性ガス８０〜９９体積％とからなる混合ガスを、２００〜５００℃の温度で流通させることにより堆積物層とコート層のエッチングレート比を大きくすることができ、堆積物を優先的にクリーニングできることがわかる。そして、フッ素ガス濃度、及び反応温度のどちらかが上記範囲外である条件では、堆積物のクリーニングが行えないか、エッチングレート比が小さくなりコート層へダメージを与えてしまう。また、フッ素ガス濃度、反応温度が上記範囲内であっても、プラズマ条件下ではエッチングレート比が小さくなりコート層へダメージを与えてしまうことがわかる。 As shown in Table 1, by flowing a mixed gas consisting of 1 to 20% by volume of fluorine gas and 80 to 99% by volume of inert gas at a temperature of 200 to 500 ° C., the etching rate ratio between the deposit layer and the coat layer is increased. It can be seen that the deposit can be preferentially cleaned. If either the fluorine gas concentration or the reaction temperature is out of the above range, the deposit cannot be cleaned, or the etching rate ratio becomes small and the coating layer is damaged. Further, it can be seen that even when the fluorine gas concentration and the reaction temperature are within the above ranges, the etching rate ratio becomes small under plasma conditions, and the coating layer is damaged.
