Description

鹼水溶液之精製方法Method for refining aqueous alkali solution

本發明,係關於一種將鹼水溶液所含之金屬雜質的濃度、或視需要之矽化雜質及碳酸雜質的濃度,精製至非常低之濃度為止的鹼水溶液之精製方法。The present invention relates to a method for purifying an aqueous alkali solution obtained by purifying a concentration of a metal impurity contained in an aqueous alkali solution or, if necessary, a concentration of a halogenated impurity and a carbonic acid impurity to a very low concentration.

鹼,係使用於將製造矽晶圓時所生成之加工變質層除去之蝕刻製程、或為了pH調整及緩衝而與膠態氧化矽等研磨劑組合之研磨製程。又,鹼,於研磨製程後之晶圓洗淨亦常使用。於蝕刻製程,係使用氫氧化鈉或氫氧化鉀,於研磨製程,係使用氫氧化鈉、氫氧化鉀、氫氧化四甲銨、氨水、碳酸鈉、碳酸氫納、碳酸鉀及碳酸氫鉀,於洗淨製程,係使用氨水。The alkali is used in an etching process for removing a process-modified layer formed when a germanium wafer is produced, or a polishing process in combination with an abrasive such as colloidal cerium oxide for pH adjustment and buffering. Moreover, alkali is often used for wafer cleaning after the polishing process. In the etching process, sodium hydroxide or potassium hydroxide is used, and in the polishing process, sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, tetramethylammonium hydroxide, ammonia water, sodium carbonate, sodium hydrogencarbonate, potassium carbonate and potassium hydrogencarbonate are used. In the washing process, ammonia water is used.

鹼,例如,氫氧化鈉係以食鹽的電解而製造,所生成之氫氧化鈉,含有數ppm等級之各種金屬雜質。該等金屬雜質中,例如,銅與鎳,會滲透至矽晶圓,殘存而使電氣特性改變等而阻害晶圓表面的平坦化。因此,含有該等金屬雜質之鹼水溶液,無法作為蝕刻劑使用。又,鈣、鎂、錳、鐵、鈷、鋅、鋁、鉛等金屬,雖難以擴散至矽晶圓之內部,但會殘留於表面成為殘渣,而阻害電氣特性等。因此,於鹼蝕刻製程或研磨製程所使用之藥液、研磨液中若含有該等金屬雜質,則該藥液、研磨液的使用會成為後段製程之洗淨製程的負荷。關於如銅、鎳等之容易擴散至晶圓內部之金屬、與鈣、鎂、錳、鐵、鈷、鋅、鋁、鉛等殘留於晶圓表面之金屬,當比較其濃度所造成之影響時,容易擴散之金屬濃度、與殘留於表面之金屬相比,有時有必需減低至1/10~1/1000的情形。The alkali, for example, sodium hydroxide is produced by electrolysis of a salt, and the produced sodium hydroxide contains various metal impurities of several ppm levels. Among these metal impurities, for example, copper and nickel permeate into the germanium wafer, and remain, and electrical characteristics are changed to prevent planarization of the wafer surface. Therefore, an aqueous alkali solution containing such metal impurities cannot be used as an etchant. Further, metals such as calcium, magnesium, manganese, iron, cobalt, zinc, aluminum, and lead are difficult to diffuse into the interior of the germanium wafer, but remain on the surface as a residue, thereby impairing electrical characteristics. Therefore, if such a metal impurity is contained in the chemical liquid or the polishing liquid used in the alkali etching process or the polishing process, the use of the chemical liquid or the polishing liquid becomes a load of the cleaning process of the subsequent process. For metals such as copper and nickel that are easily diffused into the interior of the wafer, and metals such as calcium, magnesium, manganese, iron, cobalt, zinc, aluminum, and lead that remain on the surface of the wafer, when comparing the effects of their concentrations The metal concentration which is easy to diffuse may be reduced to 1/10 to 1/1000 as compared with the metal remaining on the surface.

又,於鹼蝕刻,氫氧化鈉與氫氧化鉀,為了減低使用量以減低成本的目的下,會循環再利用。於該場合,由矽晶圓所溶出之矽或空氣環境氣氛中之氧,藉由溶解於鹼蝕刻液,例如,當鹼水溶液為氫氧化鈉時,會產生矽酸鈉(Na2 SiO3 ),而於晶圓表面殘存為殘渣,使後段的洗淨變得困難。為了防止其,有增加新鹼液的補充量使回收率降低的方法。Further, in alkali etching, sodium hydroxide and potassium hydroxide are recycled in order to reduce the amount of use and reduce the cost. In this case, sodium citrate (Na 2 SiO 3 ) is produced by dissolving the oxygen in the atmosphere of the crucible or the atmosphere in the air atmosphere by dissolving in the alkali etching solution, for example, when the aqueous alkali solution is sodium hydroxide. However, it remains as a residue on the surface of the wafer, making it difficult to clean the subsequent stage. In order to prevent this, there is a method of increasing the amount of replenishment of the new alkali liquor to lower the recovery rate.

再者,空氣環境氣氛中之二氧化碳,如下式所述容易溶解於鹼水溶液。Further, the carbon dioxide in the air atmosphere is easily dissolved in the aqueous alkali solution as described in the following formula.

NaOH+CO2 → NaHCO3 2NaHCO3 → Na2 CO3 +H2 NaOH+CO 2 → NaHCO 3 2NaHCO 3 → Na 2 CO 3 +H 2

因此,原本作為鹼成分而必須保持其純度之NaOH變成Na2 CO3 ,而對蝕刻沒有幫助,故必須減低二氧化碳的溶解量。又,當然,若主成分之鹼金屬或氫氧化物等的濃度改變,則對蝕刻處理會產生很大的影響。Therefore, NaOH which is originally required to maintain its purity as an alkali component becomes Na 2 CO 3 and does not contribute to etching, so it is necessary to reduce the amount of carbon dioxide dissolved. Further, of course, if the concentration of the alkali metal or hydroxide of the main component is changed, the etching treatment is greatly affected.

然而,亦有如由研磨製程之漿料中即使混入Na2 SiO3 或Na2 CO3 亦幾乎不會產生影響的狀態、或必須而添加的狀態選擇性地僅減低鹼水溶液所含之金屬雜質的情形。精製鹼的手段,可舉例如再結晶法、蒸餾法等,但任一者皆需巨大的熱能量、裝置亦大規模、操作管理亦複雜。However, there is also a state in which the slurry of the polishing process hardly affects even if Na 2 SiO 3 or Na 2 CO 3 is mixed, or the state which must be added selectively selectively reduces only the metal impurities contained in the aqueous alkali solution. situation. The means for purifying the base may, for example, be a recrystallization method or a distillation method, but any one requires a large amount of heat energy, a large-scale apparatus, and complicated operation management.

相對於此,作為容易地以低成本精製鹼的手段,例如,曾提出將含金屬雜質之高濃度氫氧化鈉水溶液,與將椰子殼系活性碳以硝酸處理後賦活者接觸,以吸附除去金屬雜質之方法(日本特開2004-344715號公報)。然而,由於其必須準備專用的活性碳,故會導致成本的上昇。又,雖可將鐵精製至100ppb左右,但對於銅或鎳僅能精製至100ppb左右,並無法達到要求水準。又,活性碳會使原料中所含之鋅或鋁等金屬雜質溶出,該等即使以硝酸賦活亦難以減低。因此,若金屬雜質之除去要求項目僅限定於鐵即可,但難以使用於銅或鎳等多項目的情形。On the other hand, as a means for easily purifying a base at a low cost, for example, it has been proposed to contact a living body of a high-concentration sodium hydroxide containing metal impurities with a living body treated with nitric acid to remove carbon. Method of impurity (JP-A-2004-344715). However, since it must prepare dedicated activated carbon, it will lead to an increase in cost. Moreover, although iron can be refined to about 100 ppb, copper or nickel can only be purified to about 100 ppb, and the required level cannot be achieved. Further, the activated carbon dissolves metal impurities such as zinc or aluminum contained in the raw material, and it is difficult to reduce it even if it is activated by nitric acid. Therefore, if the requirement for removal of metal impurities is limited to iron, it is difficult to use it in a multi-item such as copper or nickel.

再者,作為減低氫氧化鈉水溶液所含金屬雜質之方法,已知有使用陽離子交換膜以氫氧化鈉水溶液之電解的精製方法(日本特開2002-317285號公報)。藉由該方法,氫氧化鈉水溶液中之金屬雜質,可減低至10ppb以下。然而,該方法,設備投資為高額、裝置複雜,故有精製成本高、難以操作管理的缺點。In addition, as a method of reducing the metal impurities contained in the aqueous sodium hydroxide solution, a method of purifying by electrolysis using a cation exchange membrane with an aqueous sodium hydroxide solution is known (JP-A-2002-317285). By this method, the metal impurities in the aqueous sodium hydroxide solution can be reduced to 10 ppb or less. However, this method has high equipment investment and complicated equipment, so it has the disadvantages of high refining cost and difficulty in operation and management.

再者,含有氫氧化鈉、氫氧化鉀、氫氧化四甲銨、氨水、碳酸鈉、碳酸氫鈉、碳酸鉀、碳酸氫鉀等之鹼水溶液,除單獨使用以外,例如,亦作為研磨用漿料之添加劑使用。然而,為了將金屬雜質假如減低至100ppb以下之高純度鹼水溶液至使用場所亦維持為高純度的狀態,鹼水溶液之製造工廠或液櫃卡車等運送手段、使用鹼水溶液之晶圓製造工廠或半導體元件製造工廠中,連接、供給配管或槽、桶等容器必須以金屬溶出少之氟樹脂等高價原料加襯、或使用該原料製造。又,欲將晶圓製造工廠或半導體元件製造工廠所使用之鹼水溶液再利用時,會因製造製程等之副產物之金屬等而受到汙染,而無法再使用,僅能廢棄。Further, an aqueous alkali solution containing sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, tetramethylammonium hydroxide, aqueous ammonia, sodium carbonate, sodium hydrogencarbonate, potassium carbonate, potassium hydrogencarbonate or the like is used as a polishing slurry, for example, alone. Additives for the materials used. However, in order to reduce the metal impurities to a high-purity alkali aqueous solution of 100 ppb or less to a high purity state, a manufacturing method of an aqueous alkali solution or a liquid tank truck, a wafer manufacturing plant using an alkali aqueous solution, or a semiconductor In the component manufacturing plant, a container such as a connection, a supply pipe, a tank, or a tub must be lined with a high-priced raw material such as a fluororesin having a small amount of metal elution, or can be produced using the raw material. In addition, when an alkali aqueous solution used in a wafer manufacturing plant or a semiconductor component manufacturing plant is reused, it is contaminated by the metal of a by-product such as a manufacturing process, and cannot be reused, and can be disposed of.

又,以往,於金屬雜質之除去所使用之使用陽離子交換樹脂之水溶液的精製法,當含有高濃度之鹼成分時,鹼成分與金屬雜質同樣的會與樹脂反應,故無法選擇性地除去金屬雜質。因此,若無再施以適當的處理則主成分之鹼成分的濃度會有產生變化之虞。Further, in the conventional purification method using an aqueous solution of a cation exchange resin used for the removal of metal impurities, when a high concentration of an alkali component is contained, the alkali component reacts with the resin similarly to the metal impurity, so that the metal cannot be selectively removed. Impurities. Therefore, if the appropriate treatment is not applied, the concentration of the alkali component of the main component may change.

如上所述,以往之鹼水溶液,由於含有金屬雜質,為了使用於矽晶圓之蝕刻、研磨製程、洗淨製程等用途,僅以一般之製造方法(例如,電解法)製造者難以使用。因此,必須使用再結晶、蒸餾、或陽離子交換膜法等。然而,該等方法,能量效率差、裝置亦大型、複雜而不易操作管理、精製成本亦高。因此,期盼一種可特別極力減少鈣、鎂、錳、鐵、鈷、鋅、鋁、鉛等金屬雜質之簡便的鹼水溶液之精製方法的開發。又,必須不使主成分之鹼水溶液的濃度改變,並可選擇性地除去矽酸鹼、碳酸雜質、及金屬雜質。As described above, the conventional aqueous alkali solution contains metal impurities and is difficult to be used by a general manufacturing method (for example, an electrolytic method) for use in applications such as etching, polishing, and cleaning processes for tantalum wafers. Therefore, it is necessary to use a recrystallization, distillation, or cation exchange membrane method or the like. However, these methods are inefficient in energy efficiency, large in size, complicated in operation, and easy to operate and manage, and the refining cost is also high. Therefore, development of a method for purifying a simple aqueous alkali solution which is particularly effective in reducing metal impurities such as calcium, magnesium, manganese, iron, cobalt, zinc, aluminum, and lead is desired. Further, it is necessary to selectively change the concentration of the aqueous alkali solution of the main component, and selectively remove the phthalic acid base, the carbonic acid impurities, and the metal impurities.

本發明,係用以解決上述以往之課題者,其目的在於提供一種使用於矽晶圓之蝕刻、研磨製程、洗淨製程等用途之能以簡便的方法快速除去較高濃度之鹼水溶液所含之金屬雜質之鹼水溶液之精製方法。鹼水溶液,可舉例如含有氫氧化鈉、氫氧化鉀、氫氧化四甲銨、氨水、碳酸鈉、碳酸氫鈉、碳酸鉀及碳酸氫鉀及其他鹼者。The present invention has been made to solve the above-mentioned problems, and an object thereof is to provide a method for rapidly removing a high-concentration aqueous alkali solution by a simple method for use in a ruthenium wafer etching, a polishing process, a cleaning process, or the like.

The pH of the aqueous alkali solution flowing out was measured by a pH test paper, and when it was the same as the supplied aqueous alkali solution, the liquid at the outlet of the PFA column was received as a sample in a PE container. Further, the concentration of the same component of the sample system and the supplied aqueous alkali solution is determined by analysis (for example, sodium hydroxide is used to measure the Na concentration of the inlet and outlet).

接收於PE容器內之鹼水溶液立即密封,並以ICP-MS、ICP-AES、NDIR法進行金屬、矽化合物及無機碳酸之分析。金屬分析項目,係銅、鎳等容易擴散至晶圓內部之金屬、與鈣、鎂、錳、鐵、鈷、鋅、鋁、鉛等殘留於晶圓表面之金屬。The aqueous alkali solution received in the PE container was immediately sealed, and analysis of the metal, cerium compound and inorganic carbonic acid was carried out by ICP-MS, ICP-AES, and NDIR methods.

The refining treatment was carried out for 24 hours.

結果示於表17。The results are shown in Table 17.

於表2,使用比較例1所示之含金屬雜質之未處理之50%NaOH,進行實施例1~9之處理的結果,可確認金屬雜質之除去能力。但是,如實施例8或實施例9、實施例11,藉由與50%NaOH接觸亦可見金屬溶出的情形。In Table 2, the results of the treatments of Examples 1 to 9 were carried out using the untreated 50% NaOH containing the metal impurities shown in Comparative Example 1, and the ability to remove the metal impurities was confirmed. However, as in Example 8 or Example 9, Example 11, the dissolution of the metal was also observed by contact with 50% NaOH.

此處,如50%NaOH之強鹼溶液中,由於金屬作為陽離子化學源存在的比例低,故如比較例2所示,得到以一般之(G)強酸性陽離子交換樹脂無法除去金屬雜質之結果。另一方面,如實施例1~3、6,以陰離子交換樹脂或樹脂可有效地除去金屬雜質。特別是,如50%NaOH之易吸收碳酸雜質之容易時,可得弱鹼性陰離子交換基較強鹼性陰離子交換基更可有效地除去金屬雜質的結果。又,如實施例4及實施例5,具有特殊螯合官能基之纖維或樹脂亦可發揮金屬雜質之除去效果。Here, in the strong alkali solution of 50% NaOH, since the ratio of the metal as a cation chemical source is low, as shown in Comparative Example 2, the result that the general (G) strongly acidic cation exchange resin cannot remove the metal impurities is obtained. . On the other hand, as in Examples 1 to 3 and 6, metal impurities were effectively removed by an anion exchange resin or a resin. In particular, when 50% NaOH easily absorbs carbonic acid impurities, a weakly basic anion exchange group can be obtained, and a more basic anion exchange group can more effectively remove metal impurities. Further, as in Example 4 and Example 5, the fiber or resin having a specific chelating functional group can also exhibit the effect of removing metallic impurities.

然而,如比較例3使用超過濾法,亦無法除去微量的金屬雜質。However, as in Comparative Example 3, an ultrafiltration method was used, and a trace amount of metal impurities could not be removed.

於表3,組合於實施例1~9之試驗為良好之處理方法並調查其效果的結果,如實施例10~12顯示金屬雜質除去能力顯著地提昇。特別是對於銅與鎳,可除去至1.0ppb以下。In Table 3, the results of combining the tests of Examples 1 to 9 as good treatment methods and investigating the effects thereof, as in Examples 10 to 12, showed that the metal impurity removing ability was remarkably improved. Especially for copper and nickel, it can be removed to 1.0 ppb or less.

於表4及5,探討以與上述試驗特別良好之實施例3、實施例10及實施例12同樣的充填物實施、比較例4之使用(G)強酸性陽離子交換樹脂之情形。此處可知,於比較例4無法確認(G)之金屬除去能力,但於比較例6則有效地作用。亦即,於0.01重量%NaOH(pH=11.4)以下,金屬亦作為陽離子化學源存在,可以習知法之陽離子交換法進行處理。然而,0.1重量%NaOH(pH=12.4)左右之濃度,以習知法之陽離子交換法無法將金屬除去,而以本發明之精製方法為有效。In Tables 4 and 5, the case of using the same filling material as in Example 3, Example 10 and Example 12 in which the above tests were particularly excellent, and the case of using (G) strongly acidic cation exchange resin of Comparative Example 4 were examined. Here, it can be seen that the metal removal ability of (G) was not confirmed in Comparative Example 4, but it was effective in Comparative Example 6. That is, the metal is also present as a cation chemical source under 0.01% by weight of NaOH (pH = 11.4), and can be treated by a conventional cation exchange method. However, at a concentration of about 0.1% by weight of NaOH (pH = 12.4), the metal cannot be removed by a conventional cation exchange method, and the purification method of the present invention is effective.

以下之表6~12所示之實施例19~39,亦進行與以上處理相同之試驗,得到大致相同的結果。惟,使用碳酸鈉、碳酸鉀、碳酸氫鈉、碳酸氫鉀時,(A)強鹼性陰離子交換纖維會受到碳酸化學源的影響,可見除去能力多少有降低的傾向。又,表9及表10所示之碳酸氫鈉及碳酸氫鉀,由於係弱鹼性基,故以習知之陽離子交換法亦可得有效的結果。The same tests as in the above treatment were carried out in Examples 19 to 39 shown in Tables 6 to 12 below, and substantially the same results were obtained. However, when sodium carbonate, potassium carbonate, sodium hydrogencarbonate or potassium hydrogencarbonate is used, (A) the strongly basic anion exchange fiber is affected by the chemical source of carbonic acid, and the removal ability tends to be somewhat lowered. Further, since sodium hydrogencarbonate and potassium hydrogencarbonate shown in Tables 9 and 10 are weakly basic groups, effective results can be obtained by a conventional cation exchange method.

而於表13所示之實施例40~42,進行與以上處理相同之試驗的結果明白,當組合強鹼性陰離子交換纖維、弱鹼性陰離子纖維、強鹼性陰離子交換樹脂、弱鹼性陰離子交換樹脂時,具有特別優異之金屬雜質除去能力。Further, in the examples 40 to 42 shown in Table 13, the results of the same tests as those of the above treatment were understood, and when a strong basic anion exchange fiber, a weakly basic anion fiber, a strongly basic anion exchange resin, a weakly basic anion was combined, When the resin is exchanged, it has a particularly excellent metal impurity removing ability.

表14所示之以批次法之精製處理的實施例43及44,亦得到與實施例3及20同等或其以上之金屬雜質除去能力。Examples 43 and 44 which were subjected to the batch method as shown in Table 14 also obtained metal impurity removing ability equivalent to or higher than those of Examples 3 and 20.

表15所示之實施例45~47,進行與以上處理相同之試驗的結果明白,特別是矽化合物、無機碳酸可以強鹼性陰離子交換纖維除去精製。相反的,明白以弱鹼性陰離子交換纖維,並未除去矽化合物、無機碳酸。藉此,可知可視矽化合物及無機碳酸之除去精製之必要性的有無分別使用。In Examples 45 to 47 shown in Table 15, the results of the same tests as those of the above treatment were carried out, and it is understood that in particular, the ruthenium compound and the inorganic carbonic acid can be removed and purified by the strongly basic anion exchange fiber. On the contrary, it is understood that the weakly basic anion exchange fiber does not remove the ruthenium compound or inorganic carbonic acid. From this, it is understood that the necessity of removal and purification of the ruthenium compound and the inorganic carbonic acid can be used separately.

表16所示之70%乙酸銨水溶液(pH=10.0),以實施例48~49之(A)及(F)可確認效果,於比較例22之(G)無法確認效果。其理由,可考量為由於存在有高濃度之乙酸離子及銨離子,該等與金屬形成錯合物,而成為以(G)無法除去之金屬化學源存在。而負電荷之乙酸-金屬錯合物係以電氣吸附於(A),而於(E)乙酸離子或銨離子則以更強之配位鍵結力吸附。The 70% aqueous ammonium acetate solution (pH = 10.0) shown in Table 16 was confirmed by the results (A) and (F) of Examples 48 to 49, and the effect was not confirmed in (G) of Comparative Example 22. The reason for this is that it is considered that there is a high concentration of acetate ions and ammonium ions, and these forms a complex with the metal, and are present as a metal chemical source which cannot be removed by (G). The negatively charged acetic acid-metal complex is electrically adsorbed to (A), while the (E) acetate ion or ammonium ion is adsorbed with a stronger coordination bond force.

表17所示之1%纖維素水溶液(pH=11.0),實施例50之(E)及比較例24之(G)可確認效果。由該結果,可考量為與比較例6同樣的金屬係亦作為陽離子化學源存在。The effect of the 1% aqueous cellulose solution (pH = 11.0) shown in Table 17, (E) of Example 50, and (G) of Comparative Example 24 was confirmed. From the results, it was considered that the same metal system as in Comparative Example 6 was also present as a cation chemical source.
