Description
本發明涉及微電子技術領域,特別是涉及一種形成氧化層和磊晶層的方法。 The present invention relates to the field of microelectronics, and more particularly to a method of forming an oxide layer and an epitaxial layer.
在半導體製造工藝中,為了獲得高品質的磊晶層,晶圓的表面處理非常重要。傳統的表面處理方法是採用濕法處理,通過化學試劑如SC-1等形成較薄的化學氧化層,從而可以保護晶圓,避免其在後續的儲存、輸運等過程中受到污染。然而長時期的儲存會導致這種化學氧化層的退化,使晶圓表面受到如碳、非均勻的氧化物、金屬等物質的污染。因此,在磊晶生長前需要採用原位氫或HCl/H2進行高溫預處理。 In the semiconductor manufacturing process, in order to obtain a high quality epitaxial layer, the surface treatment of the wafer is very important. The conventional surface treatment method uses a wet process to form a thin chemical oxide layer by a chemical reagent such as SC-1, thereby protecting the wafer from contamination during subsequent storage, transportation, and the like. However, long-term storage can lead to degradation of the chemical oxide layer, causing the surface of the wafer to be contaminated by substances such as carbon, non-uniform oxides, and metals. Therefore, high temperature pretreatment is required using in situ hydrogen or HCl/H 2 prior to epitaxial growth.
然而這種高溫預處理的溫度通常高達900-1200℃,容易造成大直徑晶圓的翹曲、滑線等變形,例如直徑為300mm、450mm的晶圓,甚至對於厚度較薄的200mm的晶圓也會有影響。此外,這種高溫處理也不適合應用于一些先進元件結構中,例如,FinFET、FDSOI、應變SD等。 However, the temperature of this high-temperature pretreatment is usually as high as 900-1200 ° C, which is easy to cause warpage, sliding line deformation of large-diameter wafers, such as wafers with a diameter of 300 mm and 450 mm, and even for a thin 200 mm wafer. It will also have an impact. In addition, such high temperature processing is not suitable for use in some advanced component structures such as FinFET, FDSOI, strain SD, and the like.
美國專利號:US8317921B2的專利文獻公開了一種在化學氣相沉積腔室中原位生長氧化物和矽層的方法,該方法在磊晶矽之前先形成一層犧牲氧化層,然後加入氫高溫烘烤使氧化物揮發得到潔淨的基板,從而可在該潔淨的基板上繼續原位進行矽的磊晶生長。然而這種在傳統磊晶 腔室中生長氧化犧牲層的方法,如果採用低溫氧化則可控性較差,而且加入氫烘烤去除犧牲氧化層時也需要900℃以上的高溫。 U.S. Patent No.: No. 8,318,921 B2 discloses a method of in situ growth of an oxide and tantalum layer in a chemical vapor deposition chamber, which is formed by forming a sacrificial oxide layer prior to epitaxy, and then adding a high temperature baking of hydrogen. The oxide volatilizes to obtain a clean substrate, so that epitaxial growth of germanium can continue in situ on the clean substrate. However, this kind of traditional epitaxial The method of growing the oxidized sacrificial layer in the chamber is less controllable if low temperature oxidation is used, and a high temperature of 900 ° C or higher is required when the hydrogen baking is added to remove the sacrificial oxide layer.
因此,實有必要尋求一種處理溫度相對較低的磊晶生長表面處理方法,以克服高溫處理晶圓而造成的種種問題。 Therefore, it is necessary to find an epitaxial growth surface treatment method with a relatively low processing temperature to overcome various problems caused by high temperature processing of the wafer.
