[Industrial Application Field] The present invention relates to an apparatus for ashing organic resist and the like. [Conventional technology ILSI (Large 5cale Integral
There are a process called phosphorography and an etching process in the process of making C1rcuit. Lithography involves the process of depositing a resist, an organic film that is sensitive to light or electron beams and is resistant to etching, onto a substrate to be processed. After exposing a desired resist pattern, development is performed to form the desired resist onto the substrate to be processed. It consists of a process of forming a pattern. After the lithography process, the substrate to be processed is processed into a desired shape by an etching process. Thereafter, the resist that is no longer needed is ashed and removed by an ashing device. J-100 (Ding'iDtlST-R) is used for resist removal.
There is also a method of removal using a proprietary chemical called T-CHEM LABORATORY (trade name) or a solution of hot sulfuric acid to which ozone is added. However, resists that have been subjected to a dry etching process such as reactive ion etching (RIE) are generally difficult to remove with a solvent because the surface of the resist is altered and hardened, so an ashing device is used. Ashing devices are roughly divided into two types. One is to introduce a gas containing at least oxygen into a reaction chamber, activate 02 with plasma, and perform ashing by a chemical reaction with the resist. The other method is to eject ozone gas onto the substrate to be processed to ash the resist. - When fishing by boat, ashing is accelerated by exposing the substrate to ultraviolet light. The ashing method and its device are described in Semiconductor World, March 1989 issue, pages 120 to 133. (Problems to be Solved by the Invention) With conventional ashing equipment, when resist containing silanol is ashed, it is possible to remove the resist from the substrate to be processed, but ashing (ashing) adheres to and accumulates on the inner wall of the reaction processing chamber. There was a problem that it became a source of dust. Furthermore, in the type that uses ultraviolet light, there is a problem in that ash builds up in the ultraviolet light irradiation window, reducing illumination efficiency.

In order to solve the above problems, in the present invention, the ashing device is equipped with a mechanism for heating the wall surface of the reaction processing chamber. [Operation] The ash is volatilized by heating the wall surface of the reaction processing chamber, so it does not accumulate. This can prevent dust generation. In addition, in the case of an ashing device that uses light, it is possible to prevent the irradiation window from getting dirty and the illumination efficiency to decrease due to the amount of processing. [Example] The present invention will be described in detail below. As an example, a plasma ashing device as shown in FIG. 1 was manufactured. This apparatus is composed of a reaction chamber 1, a plasma generation electrode 2, an oxygen gas supply system 3, an exhaust system 4, a high frequency generator 5 for plasma generation, and a reaction chamber wall heating device 6. A Si wafer coated with a resist was placed in a reaction chamber, and ashing was performed. The resist used here was cresol novolak resin and diphenylsilanediol (
DPS) and triflate. The etching conditions were an oxygen gas pressure of 1 torr, a high frequency power supply output of 200 W, and a frequency of 13.56 MHz. Ashing time was 5 minutes. However, these conditions are only examples implemented here, and are not limited thereto. The wafer was heated to 200° C. for ashing using the reaction processing chamber wall heating device 6, and the relationship between the number of dust attached to the wafer and the number of wafers processed was investigated. As a result, there was no significant difference in the number of deposits when 1000 sheets were processed and when the first sheet was processed, and both were 0.3
The number of particles with a diameter of μm or more attached was 4. This is equal to the number of dust that would adhere when dust was supplied and exhausted without performing any ashing. 10 when heated at 100°C
When 00 sheets were processed, 10 pieces of dust were attached. Furthermore, without heating, the entire asher chamber would be cold when processing the first wafer, so the ashing rate would be low, and it would take 10 minutes to remove a 1 μm thick resist. However, as in the above example, when the reaction tube was heated to 200° C. to carry out the reaction, a resist with a thickness of 1 μm could be completely removed from the first sheet in an ashing time of 5 minutes. When an LSI was manufactured using the ashing apparatus of the present invention, the device yield improved by about 5%. I made an ashing device as shown in Figure 2. This apparatus includes a reaction processing chamber 11, an ultraviolet light transmitting window 12, a lamp 13, a reflecting mirror 14, a nitrogen gas inlet IS, and an exhaust port 16.
, exhaust device 17, ozone generation and supply device 18, wafer heating section at19, heating tank 21, heating section 22, hot water circulation device 2
It is composed of 3. The heating tank was filled with von Prin oil (MONTEFI, registered trademark of UO5). Ashing was performed by setting the temperature of the heating bath to 180'C. The number of dust particles adhered to 4 wafers when one wafer was processed, and 5 when 2000 wafers were processed. In the case of no heating, 150 pieces of dust were deposited and the deposits were deposited on the transmission window 12, so that the opening time during ashing became about 30% longer. [Effects of the Invention] The apparatus of the present invention can prevent deposits from adhering to the inner walls of the reaction chamber, and can suppress dust generation. Therefore, the number of foreign substances adhering to the substrate to be processed is drastically reduced, and the yield of devices is improved.
