200903646 九、發明說明: 【發明所屬之技術領域】 本發明是有關於一種在單結晶石夕晶圓表面附近具有高 強度吸氣能力之磊晶晶圓的製造方法。 【先前技術】BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method of manufacturing an epitaxial wafer having a high-intensity gettering ability in the vicinity of a surface of a single crystal silicon wafer. [Prior Art]
用以形成半導體元件之單結晶矽晶圓,以往是使用 CZ(切克勞斯基;Czochralski)法或 MCZ(磁場 CZ; Magnetic field CZ)法所成長的單結晶矽晶圓、或是在這些單結晶矽 晶圓的表面形成磊晶層而成的磊晶晶圓、及對單結晶矽晶 圓施加熱處理而成的退火晶圓等。 另一方面,雖然形成半導體元件的製程是在等級 100 以下的超潔淨室内進行,但是無法完全避免來自氣體、水 或半導體製造設備等之不純物對單結晶矽晶圓的污染。若 是在元件活性區域存在這些不純物時,半導體元件的品質 及特性會顯著地劣化。因此,為了將這些不純物吸氣(吸除 (gettering))而從元件活性區域除去,以往是進行本徵吸氣 (Intrinsic Gettering : IG)或非本徵吸氣(Extrinsic Gettering : EG)。而且,亦有在已施行這些處理而成的晶 圓表面,形成蟲晶層之情況。 特別是從製造半導體元件的觀點,因為磊晶晶圓能夠 形成具有與基板晶圓不同電阻率之電性主動層(active layer),而有設計半導體元件時的自由度增大,又,具有 能夠以任意厚度形成氧或碳(會成為結晶缺陷的原因)的濃 200903646 度低之高純度的單結晶薄膜等許多優點,所以被實用化而 使用於高耐壓半導體元件或雙載子積體電路元件、固體攝 像元件(CCD(電荷柄合裝置;Charge-Coupled Device)攝像 元件)等製品。 形成實用化的磊晶層之方法,能夠使用化學氣相沈積 法(Chemical Vapor Deposition method),主要是使用以下 4 種源氣體(source gas)。 氫還原法時,源氣體是使用SiCl4、SiHCl3。A single crystal germanium wafer for forming a semiconductor element is conventionally a single crystal germanium wafer grown using a CZ (Czochralski) method or a MCZ (Magnetic Field CZ) method, or An epitaxial wafer in which an epitaxial layer is formed on a surface of a single crystal germanium wafer, and an annealed wafer obtained by applying heat treatment to a single crystal germanium wafer. On the other hand, although the process for forming a semiconductor element is performed in an ultra-clean room of class 100 or less, contamination of a single crystal germanium wafer by impurities such as gas, water, or semiconductor manufacturing equipment cannot be completely avoided. If these impurities are present in the active region of the device, the quality and characteristics of the semiconductor device are significantly deteriorated. Therefore, in order to inhale (mettering) these impurities, they are removed from the element active region, and conventionally, Intrinsic Gettering (IG) or Extrinsic Gettering (EG) is performed. Further, there is also a case where a crystal layer is formed on the surface of the crystal which has been subjected to these treatments. In particular, from the viewpoint of manufacturing a semiconductor element, since the epitaxial wafer can form an active active layer having a resistivity different from that of the substrate wafer, the degree of freedom in designing the semiconductor element is increased, and It has many advantages such as a single crystal film having a high purity of 200,903,646 degrees and a low purity of oxygen and carbon (which are causes of crystal defects), and is used in a high-voltage semiconductor element or a bi-carrier integrated circuit. Products such as components and solid-state imaging devices (CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) imaging devices). As a method of forming a practical epitaxial layer, a chemical vapor deposition method (Chemical Vapor Deposition method) can be used, mainly using the following four source gases. In the hydrogen reduction method, the source gas is SiCl4 or SiHCl3.
SiCl4 +2H2 — Si +4HC1SiCl4 +2H2 — Si +4HC1
SiHCl3 +H2 — Si +3HC1 熱分解法時,源氣體是使用SiH2Cl2、SiH4。In the thermal decomposition method of SiHCl3 + H2 - Si + 3HC1, the source gas is SiH2Cl2 and SiH4.
SiH2Cl2 一 Si +2HC1 SiH4 -> Si +2H2 其中,因為價廉、成長速度快、適合應用於厚膜的磊 晶成長用等,固體攝像元件主要是使用SiHCl3。 但是,使用任一種源氣體來形成遙晶層而成的蟲晶晶 圓,在磊晶層的形成中亦會混入許多不純物,特別是混入 金屬不純物。此種金屬不純物,當將磊晶晶圓應用在固體 攝像元件時,因為無法充分地降低因暗電流所引起的白點 損傷缺陷,而成為特性或產率變差的原因。 認為重金屬不純物的產生源是來自磊晶成長裝置的鐘 罩型反應室内的s U S系組件、來自源氣體的配管。若在源 氣體含有氣系物質時,在磊晶成長時分解而產生 HC1氣 體。該H C1氣體會腐蝕鐘罩型反應室内的S U S系組件,並 200903646 以金屬的氣化物方式被包含在源氣體中。 又 > 在形成遙晶層之前’為了將早結晶梦晶圓表面輕 微地浸蝕掉,亦會有故意導入H C1氣體之情形,其亦會成 為腐#的原因之一。SiH2Cl2 - Si + 2HC1 SiH4 - > Si + 2H2 Among them, solid-state imaging devices mainly use SiHCl3 because they are inexpensive and have a high growth rate and are suitable for use in epitaxial growth of a thick film. However, the crystallite circle formed by using any of the source gases to form the crystal layer, a large amount of impurities, especially metal impurities, may be mixed in the formation of the epitaxial layer. Such a metal impurity is a cause of deterioration in characteristics or yield because the epitaxial wafer is applied to a solid-state image sensor because the white point damage defect caused by the dark current cannot be sufficiently reduced. It is considered that the source of the heavy metal impurities is the s U S system from the bell type reaction chamber of the epitaxial growth apparatus, and the piping from the source gas. When the source gas contains a gas-based substance, it decomposes during epitaxial growth to generate HC1 gas.

Further, in order to improve the gettering ability, there is a proposal to disclose a method (for example, refer to Japanese Laid-Open Patent Publication No. Hei 1 1 - 2 5 1 3 2 2), after implanting carbon ions and nitrogen ions on the surface of a tantalum wafer, A method of forming a germanium epitaxial layer on the surface thereof; or a proposal to disclose a method (for example, refer to the publication of the Japanese Patent Publication No. 2 0 0 2 - 1 3 4 5 1 1), which is a wafer containing nitrogen A method in which a surface is implanted with a thick carbon ion and a germanium epitaxial layer is formed on the surface. However, if the component process is a low-temperature process, oxygen deposition is difficult, and even if carbon ions are implanted, there is a problem that the gettering ability is poor. Moreover, the higher the dose of implanted carbon ions, the more difficult the recovery process before the process of the crystal crystals is. > There is a case where the crystal layer cannot grow. Further, even if the crystal layer can grow, 5 is easy to form insect crystal defects. The problem. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION An object of the present invention is to provide a method for fabricating an epitaxial wafer by first implanting carbon ions to form a carbon ion implant layer, and forming a germanium epitaxial layer on the implant surface. Previously, the recovery heat treatment was surely performed to provide a manufacturing method capable of producing a crystal wafer having a south-intensity gettering capability without forming a stray crystal defect* in the crystal layer at a low cost. In order to solve the above problems, the present invention provides a method for manufacturing an epitaxial wafer, which is a method for manufacturing an epitaxial wafer, which is characterized in that carbon ions are implanted first to form a carbon implantation layer, and then, rapid heating and rapid cooling are used. The (RTA) device is heat treated in an ammonia or nitrogen containing environment and then formed on the chopped wafer after the heat treatment. As described above, by performing the recovery heat treatment of the crystallinity after the implantation of the carbon ions by using the RTA apparatus, the crystallinity of the wafer can be recovered in a short time, and the time required for the process can be shortened. Further, by making the environment for restoring the heat treatment an environment containing ammonia or nitrogen, it is possible to implant holes near the surface of the wafer during the heat treatment process, and it is possible to improve the gettering ability as compared with the case where only carbon ions are implanted. Further, since the crystallinity of the wafer is restored by the RTA process, when an epitaxial layer is formed on the surface of the wafer, a wafer in which a stray defect is hardly formed can be formed. Further, in the production method of the present invention, the environment for the heat treatment is preferably a nitrogen gas addition environment having an ammonia concentration of 0.5 to 3% or a nitrogen concentration of 100 to 1,000 ppm. When the ammonia or nitrogen concentration is in the above range, it is possible to efficiently implant the holes while avoiding the necessity of implanting nitrogen into the wafer which is necessary for the foreign matter element, even when the heat treatment is performed using the RTA apparatus. Further, in the production method of the present invention, the dose of the above-mentioned carbon ions is preferably 1 x 10 13 to 5 x 10 15 atoms/cm 2 . 9 200903646 Thus, in the case of a dose of lxlO13 to 5xl015atoms/cm2, crystallinity can be restored by RTA treatment, and oxygen can be promoted in the vicinity of the wafer surface. Further, in the production method of the present invention, the heat treatment by the rapid heating or rapid cooling (RTA) apparatus is preferably carried out so as to be a treatment time of from 1 to 100 ° C to the melting point of the crucible and from 10 to 60 seconds. By performing the heat treatment under such conditions, the crystallinity of the wafer can be surely restored, and the heat treatment condition for restoring the crystallinity in a short time can be achieved. Further, a method of manufacturing a solid-state imaging device is preferably such that a solid-state imaging device is formed on the insect crystal layer of the insect crystal wafer manufactured by the manufacturing method according to the present invention. As described above, since the epitaxial wafer* manufactured by the manufacturing method of the present invention hardly forms a crystal grain defect in the insect layer, a solid-state imaging device can be produced with good yield. Further, the epitaxial wafer produced by the manufacturing method of the present invention is preferably such that no stray defects are formed in the crystal layer. As described above, since the epitaxial crystal grain produced by the manufacturing method according to the present invention has a high gas absorption capability and can restore the crystallinity of the lower layer, it is an amorphous wafer which does not form a stray crystal defect. As described above, in the present invention, when an epitaxial wafer is fabricated, carbon ions are implanted on the germanium wafer to form a carbon implant layer, and then, a rapid heating, rapid cooling (RTA) device is used, and The environment of ammonia or nitrogen is subjected to a recovery heat treatment of crystallinity, and then on the tantalum wafer after the heat treatment, a crystal layer of 10 200903646 is formed. By performing the above-described process, since the high-intensity gettering capability is provided and the recovery heat treatment before the epitaxial process can be reliably performed, it is possible to provide a manufacturing method capable of preventing the formation of epitaxial defects in the epitaxial layer at low cost. And an epitaxial wafer with high gettering capability in the component process. [Embodiment] Hereinafter, the present invention will be specifically described. As described above, it is expected to develop a method capable of producing a high-intensity gettering ability at a low cost, and by preventing a recovery heat treatment before the epitaxial process, it is possible to prevent the formation of insect crystal defects in the insect layer. Wafer. Therefore, the present invention has repeatedly focused on the use of the crystallographic recovery heat treatment after carbon ion implantation to improve the gettering ability and at the same time solve the above problems. As a result, the inventors of the present invention have conceived that the RTA device is used for rapid heating, rapid cooling, recovery treatment for crystallinity in a short time, and implantation of holes by heat treatment in an environment containing ammonia or nitrogen, without lowering The present invention has been completed by a gettering ability and capable of imparting a high-intensity gettering ability. Hereinafter, the present invention will be described in more detail using Fig. 1, but the present invention is not limited thereto. First, a single crystal germanium wafer 11 is prepared. A high-current ion implanter is used to perform carbon ion implantation on the main surface of either side of the Shihua wafer, and a carbon implant layer 12 is formed in the dream crystal circle. The dose of carbon ions can be set to 1 X 1 0 13~5 X 1 0 15 atoms/cm 2 °. By setting the dose in the above range, it is possible to obtain a wafer even after heat treatment with a short period of 11 200903646 after implantation of carbon ions. Recovery of crystallinity. Further, in order to promote oxygen evolution, it is preferred in the range of the above dosage. Subsequently, heat treatment is performed to recover the crystallinity of the epitaxial wafer caused by the implantation of carbon ions. The heat treatment is carried out by a rapid hot and rapid cooling (RTA) apparatus. This heat treatment is carried out in an environment (atmosphere) containing ammonia or nitrogen. By using an RTA apparatus and heat-treating in an environment containing ammonia or nitrogen as described above, it is possible to restore wafer crystallinity in a short heat treatment time. Further, by containing ammonia or nitrogen, it is possible to implant a hole in the wafer during the heat treatment, whereby oxygen can be efficiently deposited, and a BMD (Body MicroDefect) layer 13 can be formed. Impurities such as heavy metals may be inhaled (absorbed) in the formed BMD layer 13. By performing the above, it is possible to obtain a remote crystal wafer having a high-intensity gettering capability even by a short-time process. When the environment containing ammonia is carried out, the ammonia concentration may be 〇 5 to 3 %. When the environment containing nitrogen is carried out, the nitrogen concentration may be an environment in which 100 to 100 ppm of nitrogen gas is added. By embedding holes in the aforementioned concentration range, it is not necessary to increase the total amount of nitrogen entering the wafer, and it is also possible to implant a sufficient amount of holes. Here, even if the heat treatment is performed in a small oxygen atmosphere of 1 〇 〇 p p m or less in the gas addition environment, the same effects as described above can be obtained. As the heat treatment conditions, the treatment temperature can be set to a temperature of from 1 1 0 0 °C to 矽 melting point. It is especially good at 1100 to 1 2 5 0 °c. The processing speed can be set to 1 0 to 60 seconds. According to the heat treatment conditions described above, it is possible to reliably restore the crystallinity of the wafer to 200903646 and to perform processing in a short time. Therefore, the process can be shortened and the cost can be reduced. Although the number of heat treatments is sufficient once, the number of times is not particularly limited. When the crystallinity is emphasized, it can be repeated 2 to 3 times. The insect layer 14 is then formed 'on the face where the carbon ions have been implanted'. The formation of the crystal layer 14 can be carried out under normal conditions. For example, when H2 is used as the carrier gas, the source gas such as SiHCl3 can be introduced into the processing chamber, and the RPA-treated wafer having the high gas absorption capability and having the carbon implantation layer disposed on the susceptor can be disposed. In the above, the epitaxial growth is performed according to the <:¥0 method at a temperature of about 10 50 to 1 250°. After the epitaxial layer is formed, a solid-state imaging element can be formed on the surface of the wafer. Thus, the manufacturing according to the present invention The epitaxial wafer produced by the method has a gettering ability surface and hardly forms a ? crystal defect in the crystal layer. Therefore, when a solid-state imaging device is formed, a good solid-state imaging device can be manufactured with good yield. According to the epitaxial wafer manufactured by the manufacturer of the present invention, since the crystallinity of the disorder caused by the ion implantation by the formation of the gettering layer is restored before the epitaxial layer is formed, even if it is formed even The epitaxial layer can also prevent the crystal defects caused by the crystallinity of the wafer. Moreover, it is preferable to use a wafer having an oxygen concentration of 0.9 to 1.5 x 10 018 atoms/cm 3 for the single crystal germanium wafer to be used. By using this The wafer can generate sufficient oxygen deposition in the vicinity of the wafer surface even if the dose of carbon ions is low. 13 200903646 Hereinafter, the present invention will be more specifically described by showing examples and comparative examples, but the present invention is not limited to these examples. (Example 1) First, a P-type single crystal germanium wafer having a diameter of 200 mm was prepared. Next, on the wafer, a high current ion implanter was used and the ion implantation was carried out at a dose of lxl014 atoms/cm2. Carbon is formed to form a carbon implant layer.

Subsequently, an epitaxial wafer was formed on the surface of the wafer on which the carbon implantation layer was formed under the processing conditions of 1 130 °C to fabricate an epitaxial wafer. The thickness of the epitaxial layer formed was about 6 microns. The characteristics of the produced epitaxial wafer were evaluated as follows. Use particle counting to observe the stray defects on the surface of the wafer. The result is shown in Figure 2. The oxygen, carbon, and nitrogen concentrations in the epitaxial wafer were evaluated according to secondary ion mass spectrometry. The result is shown in Figure 3. In order to evaluate the concentration of the cavity implanted during the heat treatment by the RTA apparatus, the oxygen precipitation heat treatment was performed to evaluate the BMD density. The oxygen evolution heat treatment conditions were set to 80 ° C, 4 hours, and 1 0 0 ° C for 16 hours. Subsequently, the surface of the crystal wafer after the oxygen precipitation heat treatment was subjected to angle polishing evaluation, and the cross section of the insect crystal layer, the carbon implantation layer, and the lower portion of the implanted layer was observed to evaluate the B M D density distribution. The result is shown in Figure 4. Moreover, the FTIR is used to evaluate the wafers before and after the oxygen evolution heat treatment.

The result is shown in Figure 5. (Comparative Example 1) In Comparative Example 1, except for using a resistance heating device, heat treatment was performed under conditions of 1,100 ° C, 5 minutes, and 10 minutes in an Ar atmosphere for use in addition to the recrystallization property. Example 1 produced the same wafer under the same conditions. Subsequently, the same evaluation as in Example 1 was carried out. Fig. 2 is a distribution diagram showing an example of surface defects of epitaxial wafers in the examples and comparative examples of the present invention. The surface of the epitaxial wafer of Example 1 was approximately the same as that of Comparative Example 1 after 10 minutes of heat treatment, and the epitaxial defects could not be detected. On the other hand, the wafer crystal wafer after heat treatment for 5 minutes in a resistance heating furnace was insufficiently restored. From this, it was found that the crystallinity after carbon implantation can be restored by heat treatment of the RTA apparatus in an atmosphere containing ammonia. This * knows that it is possible to obtain a wafer-free wafer in the insect layer without insects in a short time heat treatment. Fig. 3 is a graph showing the distribution of oxygen gas and gas concentration from the surface of the wafer in Example 1 of the present invention. There is almost no distribution of the stray layer on the surface of the wafer. Further, it was found that carbon was concentrated on a portion directly under the stray layer, and a carbon implant layer was formed directly under the crystal layer. Thus, it is known that the gettering layer is formed close to the epitaxial layer. Further, when the heat of the RTA apparatus was repeatedly used, the oxygen concentration and the carbon concentration distribution hardly changed, but it was found that the nitrogen concentration was slowly increased in the measurement region from the surface to about 45 μm, in the carbon implantation. There are sufficient holes implanted under the layer. The crystallized clock crystal is used by the oxygen-deficient and chemically separated surface. 15 200903646 FIG. 4 is a view showing the depth direction distribution of the BMD from the wafer surface in Example 1 and Comparative Example 1 (10-minute heat treatment) of the present invention. . It was found that the epitaxial wafer of Example 1 was able to observe a high-density BMD distribution under the carbon implantation layer with a density of 5 x 10 5 /cm 2 or more. When the surface of the wafer of Comparative Example 1 was compared with Example 1, almost no BMD was observed, and the density thereof was 1 × 10 4 /cm 2 or less. Thus, it has been found that an epitaxial wafer can be obtained in accordance with the manufacturing method of the present invention, and has a layer having a gettering (absorption) capability called a B M D layer in addition to the carbon implant layer. (Examples 2, 3, 4, Comparative Examples 2, 3, 4) Examples 2, 3, and 4, except that the implantation amount of carbon ions was set to 5xl014, 5xl013, lxl013atoms/cm2 in order, and examples 1 An epitaxial wafer was produced under the same conditions, and the same evaluation as in Example 1 was carried out. Similarly, Comparative Examples 2, 3, and 4, except that the implantation amount of carbon ions was set to 5 X 1 0 14 , 5 X 1 0 13 , 1 X 1 0 13 at 〇ms / c m2 in order, and the heat treatment was set. The epitaxial wafer was produced under the same conditions as in Comparative Example 1 except for 10 minutes, and the same evaluation as in Example 1 was carried out. As a result, it was found that in Examples 2, 3, and 4, the carbon implantation amount was increased while the carbon implantation layer was formed, but the formation of the B M D layer under the carbon implantation layer was the same. Also, none of the embodiments produced epitaxial defects. On the other hand, it is found that in Comparative Examples 2, 3, and 4, the formation of the implant layer is substantially the same as that of the corresponding embodiment, but the lower portion of the carbon implant layer 16 200903646 is almost after the oxygen evolution heat treatment. The BMD layer was not formed, and this result became a wafer having a poor gas absorption capability when compared with the wafer of the corresponding example. (Example 5) In Example 5, a crystallized wafer was fabricated under the same conditions as in Example 1 except that the heat treatment conditions by the RTA apparatus were set to 1 2 0 0 ° C for 1 〇 second. The same evaluation as in Example 1 was carried out.
結果,即便將熱處理條件變更為1 2 0 0 °c、1 〇秒,亦成 為具有與實施例1幾乎相同特性之磊晶晶圓。 第5圖是表示比較在各實施例、比較例中的氧析出熱 處理前後的晶圓殘留氧濃度變化(△ 0 i :氧析出物)之圖。 在實施例 1〜4,得知碳植入量增加之同時,熱處理前 後的氧濃度變化量變大。由此,得知植入量越多,能夠使 越多的氧析出。但是,BMD的密度是幾乎沒有變化。得知 在藉由電阻加熱之恢復熱處理中,析出熱處理前後的氧濃 度幾乎沒有變化,BMD的密度也幾乎沒有變化。由此,得 知熱處理條件是相當有助於B M D層的形成(亦即入處理條 件會影響BMD層的形成)。 從上述得知,藉由RTA裝置且在氮化性環境下之急速 加熱、急速冷卻所進行熱處理,能夠製造出其吸氣能力比 糟由電阻加熱進行熱處理所得到的晶圓南之晶圓。 在下述表 1,是表示整理各實施例、比較例中的磊晶 晶圓的評價結果。 17 200903646 [表i] 碳植入量 [atoms/cm2 ] 恢復熱處理 碳植入層 形成 △〇i BMD層 形成 蟲晶缺陷 之有無 裝置 處理溫度 rci 處理時間 [秒] 實施例1 lxlO14 RTA 1175 30 ◎ 〇 〇 無 比較例1 lxlO14 電阻加熱 1100 300 Δ X X 有 600 Δ X X 無 實施例2 5xl014 RTA 1175 30 ◎ 〇 〇 無 實施例3 5xl013 RTA 1175 30 〇 〇 〇 無 實施例4 lxlO13 RTA 1175 30 〇 〇 〇 無 實施例5 lxlO14 RTA 1200 10 ◎ 〇 〇 無 比較例2 5xl014 電阻加熱 1100 600 〇 X X 無 比較例3 5xl013 電阻加熱 1100 600 Δ X X 無 比較例4 lxlO13 電阻加熱 1100 600 Δ X X 無As a result, the epitaxial wafer having almost the same characteristics as those of the first embodiment was obtained even when the heat treatment conditions were changed to 1 2 0 0 °c and 1 sec. Fig. 5 is a view showing a comparison of wafer residual oxygen concentration change (?0i: oxygen precipitate) before and after the oxygen evolution heat treatment in each of the examples and the comparative examples. In Examples 1 to 4, it was found that the amount of change in the oxygen concentration before and after the heat treatment was increased while the amount of carbon implantation was increased. Thus, it is known that the more the amount of implantation, the more oxygen can be deposited. However, the density of BMD is almost unchanged. It was found that in the recovery heat treatment by resistance heating, the oxygen concentration before and after the precipitation heat treatment hardly changed, and the density of BMD hardly changed. Thus, it is known that the heat treatment conditions are quite conducive to the formation of the B M D layer (i.e., the in-process conditions affect the formation of the BMD layer). From the above, it is known that the heat treatment by rapid heating and rapid cooling in an nitriding environment by an RTA apparatus can produce a wafer wafer having a lower gas absorption capacity than that obtained by heat treatment by resistance heating.
