Abstract

PURPOSE:To prevent a workpiece from being subjected to any damage by mixing at least sodium hypochlorite, sodium tripolyphosphate and sodium sulfate into water, in the case of a polishing liquid used for polishing the mirror-like surface of substrates made of monocrystal of gallium arsenide. CONSTITUTION:The mirror-like surfaces of a plurality of substrates 2 made of monocrystal of gallium arsenide and stuck to a polishing jig 1 are polished by means of polishing liquid consisting of about 20g of sodium hypochlorite, about 6.4g of sodium tripolyphosphate, about 7.2g of sodium sulfate and about 500ml of pure water. In this case, a film consisting of Ga2O3, As2O3 is formed as a reaction product 3 on the surface of gallium arsenide 2 by aid of ClO<-> generated through dissociation of sodium hypochlorite in pure water, the protruding portions of the reaction product 3 are swept off by polishing cloth 4 to get the surface of the gallium arsenide 2 exposed and a reaction product 5 is formed again. These processes are repeated alternately to carry out flat and smooth mirror-like surface polishing. A polishing process of high accuracy can be carried out in this way, without giving any damage to a workpiece.

(Prior Art) There are various types of polishing liquids used for polishing gallium arsenide (GaAs) single crystal substrates, but the polishing liquids that have been commonly used include minerals containing fine diamond abrasive grains. 1 oil and a Br methanol solution in which bromine (Br) is dissolved in methyl alcohol. Among these, when polishing a gallium arsenide single crystal substrate using mineral oil containing fine diamond abrasive grains, the process in which the diamond fine abrasive grains gradually remove the surface of the gallium arsenide single crystal substrate progresses repeatedly. This creates a smooth surface. In addition, when polishing a gallium arsenide single crystal substrate using a Br methanol solution, the Br methanol solution causes a chemical reaction with gallium arsenide, that is, Ga and As, which are the constituent components of gallium arsenide, are dissolved in the solution. ,
By causing a so-called etching reaction and chemically dissolving the gallium arsenide, a smooth surface is gradually created.

By the way, when polishing a gallium arsenide single crystal substrate using mineral oil containing the aforementioned fine diamond abrasive grains, scratches are created on the substrate surface by the diamond fine abrasive grains, and scratches are left on the substrate surface after polishing. The disadvantage was that it left behind some damage. In addition, when polishing a gallium arsenide single crystal substrate using a Br methanol solution, the polishing process is based on a chemical reaction in which Br methanol dissolves gallium arsenide, so the shape accuracy of the substrate surface (flatness, parallelism 9 It has the disadvantage of poor surface roughness (surface roughness, etc.).

As polishing progresses in this manner, when polishing using the polishing liquid of the present invention, scratches remain on the substrate surface, which is a problem when polishing using mineral oil containing fine diamond abrasive grains. Polishing is possible without causing damage such as scratches, and also without deterioration of the shape accuracy of the substrate surface, which is a problem in polishing using the Br methanol solution. In addition, in sodium tripolyphosphate as a polishing liquid component, the hypochlorous acid (CZO-) that generates reaction products decomposes in the polishing liquid, and also reacts with hydrogen ions in pure water to produce C10,
It acts to prevent the process in which HCj is generated and the polishing rate becomes unstable, and is an essential component for stable polishing action.According to the above test results, the concentration of tripolyphosphate in the polishing liquid is 1. It can be said that .3wt% or more is necessary. Regarding sodium sulfate, polishing is possible even when it does not contain sodium hypochlorite, sodium tripolyphosphate, and pure water, but sodium sulfate easily dissolves Na+ and SOx in pure water. Since it dissociates into - and has the effect of facilitating other chemical reactions, it is better to mix it.Also, pure water is an essential component because it becomes a solution for the polishing liquid.
