Description
BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a semiconductor manufacturing technology, and more particularly, to a silicon substrate manufacturing method, and more specifically, to manufacturing a semiconductor device such as a high resolution CMOS image sensor (CIS) using back side illumination (BSI) process technology. Thinning) relates to a method for manufacturing a silicon substrate capable of process improvement.
A semiconductor device is manufactured by forming a circuit in a silicon substrate (or silicon wafer) sliced from a silicon single crystal pulled up by the Czochralski (CZ) method or the like. However, when impurities such as heavy metals are mixed in the silicon substrate, particularly in semiconductor devices such as CMOS image sensors, white spots are generated due to dark current, which causes a problem of deterioration in device characteristics. When the silicon substrate is contaminated by impurities such as metal, not only crystal defects are caused, but also insulation defects are caused on the oxide film formed on the silicon substrate, and thus the yield and reliability of the semiconductor device are deteriorated.
On the other hand, the conventional front side illumination (FSI) process technology has a disadvantage in reducing the sensitivity of the sensor because of the wiring or transistor located on the image sensor. In particular, there has been a problem in that the light receiving efficiency is further lowered due to the reduction in the pixel size of the image sensor. To compensate for this, a backside irradiation (BSI) process technology has been proposed. The back-illumination process technology exposes an image sensor directly to the light-receiving portion (surface). The back-illumination process fabricates a substrate to be used as a light-receiving portion that receives image information of a subject and a substrate to be used as a circuit portion on a different substrate. After forming the image sensor on one silicon substrate, there is a process of shaving the bottom surface of the silicon substrate to use the bottom surface of the silicon substrate as the light receiving portion. In the latter case, a thinning process is essential, in which the bottom surface of the silicon substrate is cut to allow light to pass through, so that the silicon substrate can be used as a light receiving unit, and the thickness and thickness variation of the remaining silicon substrate after the thinning process, etc. It is a factor influencing the characteristic efficiency of this backside irradiation type process. As a method for reducing the thickness variation of the remaining silicon substrate during the thinning process, a method of using an SOI wafer using an insulator layer as a thinning control layer has been proposed. There is a problem that an expensive SOI wafer must be used.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION The present invention has been proposed to solve the above-mentioned problems, and has a sufficient gettering effect in manufacturing a semiconductor device such as a CMOS image sensor, and a thinning process for manufacturing a semiconductor device such as a CMOS image sensor with a backside irradiation process technology. It is an object of the present invention to provide a method for manufacturing a silicon substrate capable of providing a flat polished light receiving surface.
In order to achieve the above object, the present invention provides a method of manufacturing a silicon substrate, comprising: preparing a silicon substrate; Forming a buffer oxide film on an edge of the silicon substrate; A first oxygen having a higher oxygen concentration distribution at an edge of the silicon substrate than at a center of the silicon substrate by ion implanting oxygen ions into a first depth inside the silicon substrate and a second depth deeper than the first depth Forming an ion implantation layer and a second oxygen ion implantation layer; Removing the buffer oxide film; And forming an epitaxial layer on the silicon substrate and simultaneously diffusing oxygen ions of the first oxygen ion implantation layer and the second oxygen ion implantation layer to form a first oxygen precipitate and a second oxygen precipitate. Characterized in that.
The present invention described above has the advantage of reducing the thickness variation and precise thickness control of the silicon substrate during the thinning process by forming a thinning control film inside the silicon substrate. In particular, by increasing the thinning control film density of the edge of the silicon substrate, the removal rate of the edge and the center is artificially formed to form a polished silicon substrate with a uniform thickness.
In addition, the present invention forms a gettering site of oxygen precipitates inside the silicon substrate, thereby enabling close gettering in the vicinity of the active region of the semiconductor device, thereby reducing the thickness of the semiconductor device for the multi-chip package (MCP) according to the high integration. It can respond to the gettering effect required for.
As a result, when the above-described silicon substrate is used in manufacturing a semiconductor device such as a CMOS image sensor, there is an effect of improving the yield and reliability of the semiconductor device.
