Description

[0001] The present invention relates to a substrate contamination analyzer and a method for analyzing contaminants using the same.

The present invention relates to a substrate contamination analyzer and a method for analyzing contaminants using the same, and more particularly, to a substrate contamination analyzer for effectively collecting and detecting contaminants on a surface of a substrate and a method for analyzing contaminants using the same.

As semiconductor devices become highly integrated, various contaminants generated in the semiconductor manufacturing line and the manufacturing process are adsorbed on the surface of the substrate, thereby affecting the performance and yield of semiconductor devices.

Accordingly, in order to solve this problem, conventionally, a predetermined substrate is selected between each semiconductor manufacturing line and each manufacturing process, and then the surface of the selected substrate is scanned Contaminant samples were collected for analyzing contaminants on the surface of the substrate and analyzed by destructive analysis such as atomic absorption spectroscopy and ICP-mass spectroscopy or total X-ray analysis fluorescent analyzer).

That is, conventionally, after a predetermined substrate is selected in each manufacturing line and each manufacturing process, an oxide film, which is coated on the substrate surface, is first removed This is accomplished by a vapor phase decomposition apparatus in which a gas phase decomposition apparatus includes a process chamber in which a process is performed, a loading plate in which a substrate is loaded in a chamber, And a container containing hydrofluoric acid (HF) for decomposing an oxide film coated on the surface of the substrate. When the substrate is transferred to a loading plate installed in the process chamber, the substrate is placed in the process chamber for a predetermined time, So that the oxide film coated on the substrate surface is decomposed by the natural vaporized hydrofluoric acid vapor.

Thereafter, the user removes the substrate from the process chamber, drops the scanning solution onto the surface of the substrate, and the user directly scans the substrate surface with the scanning solution to manually remove the contaminant sample Respectively. A semiconductor substrate contaminant analyzing apparatus is known from Korean Patent No. 10-0383264. The pollutant collecting apparatus of the semiconductor substrate is composed of a central control unit which controls the entire process chamber, the transfer unit, the loader section, the gas phase decomposition unit, the scanning unit, the dry unit, the unloader section and the pollutant collecting apparatus as a whole.

At this time, the transfer unit, the loader unit, the gas phase decomposition unit, the scanning unit, the dry unit and the unloader unit are installed in the process chamber, and the transfer unit is set as a center, and the loader unit and the unloader unit It is installed in semicircular form. Here, the gas phase decomposition unit, the scanning unit and the dry unit are sequentially installed between the loader unit and the unloader unit.

When an arbitrary substrate is selected to analyze the degree of contamination of the substrate in the semiconductor manufacturing line and the manufacturing process, the user transfers the substrate to the loader section located in the process chamber of the contaminant collecting apparatus. Thereafter, when the user closes the process chamber and activates the pollutant collecting apparatus, the transferring unit transfers the substrate placed in the loader section to the loading plate of the gas phase decomposition unit, and the gas phase decomposition unit closes the substrate transferred to the loading plate Next, hydrofluoric acid vapor is used to decompose the oxide film coated on the substrate surface.

Subsequently, when the oxide film decomposition coated on the substrate surface is completed, the transfer unit again transfers the substrate placed in the vapor phase decomposition unit to the substrate-unevenness of the scanning unit. The scanning unit is rotated to the nozzle tray position to insert the nozzle provided in the nozzle tray, and then the scanning unit is moved to the center of the nozzle tray, In a solution bottle, a predetermined amount of the scanning solution is sucked and moved to the upper side of the substrate, and slowly approaches the center of the substrate.

Subsequently, when the substrate center and the nozzle inserted into the scanning unit are about to approach each other, the scanning unit stops approaching. When the access is stopped, the pump moves the part of the scanning solution sucked into the nozzle through the pumping channel of the scanning unit, So that the scanning liquid is agglomerated in the form of droplets between the lower end of the nozzle and the surface of the substrate.

Then, when the scanning liquid is agglomerated in the form of droplets at the lower end of the nozzle inserted into the scanning unit and contacts the surface of the substrate, the substrate is slowly polarized, and the substrate slowly rotates in one direction. The scanning unit moves the lower end of the nozzle, Slowly move the part in contact with the surface in one direction. At this time, the contaminants on the substrate surface are absorbed into the scanning solution as they come into contact with the scanning solution exposed to the outside.

In addition, when the scanning unit rotates once when the scanning unit moves once, and when the scanning unit moves again, the substrate scans the substrate by a step-by-step step by step again. Thus, when the scanning solution is not removed from the lower end of the nozzle and the scanning of the substrate is completed, the substrate misalignment stops rotating and the scanning unit also stops moving, and the pump stops scanning the substrate using the pumping flow path. All are sucked into the nozzle. Then, the scanning unit rotates to the sampling cup tray to discharge all of the contaminant samples that have been scanned in the sampling cup, and when the discharging is completed, the scanning unit rotates again so that the nozzles are positioned above the nozzle bottle, So that the nozzle inserted into the scanning unit is released from the scanning unit and falls to the nozzle bottle. Thereafter, the substrate is transferred to the unloader unit by the transfer unit, and at the same time, unloaded to the outside, the pollutant collecting process is terminated.

As described above, the scanning chemical used in the gas phase decomposition process and the scanning process of the pollutant collecting apparatus of the known semiconductor substrate may be toxic to the human body, but may remain on the surface of the substrate after the process proceeds There is no unit for removing the scanning solution, so that the substrate processing force may be exposed to the scanning solution.

In order to prevent this, there has been proposed a technique of cleaning and drying a substrate in a gas phase decomposition unit after a contaminant collecting process of a semiconductor substrate. However, since this method requires a gas phase decomposition process and a cleaning process in the same chamber, It may protrude and remain on the floor or the wall of the chamber. This problem may lead to cross contamination during the subsequent gas phase cracking process.

Further, when the gas-phase decomposition process and the cleaning process are performed in the same chamber, the gas-phase decomposition process must be performed after the cleaning process is completed, thereby increasing the process time for collecting contaminants in a plurality of wafers.

In addition, in the case of a conventional scan nozzle used for collecting contaminants on the surface of a substrate, if the surface of the substrate is a hydrophilic surface, a scanning solution flows to the substrate, which makes it impossible to recover the contamination. For example, hydrophilic surfaces such as polysilicon (poly-Si) and patterned wafers are more hydrophilic than the scanning nozzles (Teflon series), because the oxide film is much thicker than the natural oxide film and the scanning solution spreads thinly on the substrate surface, Lt; / RTI > In this case, the desired scanning can not be performed and the recovery of the chemical solution becomes difficult.

In addition, the conventional scanning nozzles are not suitable for analyzing impurities existing under the surface of the gypsum because the scanning solution does not have a structure in which the scanning solution is continuously supplied and discharged.
