Description

單晶矽錠及晶圓的形成方法 Method for forming single crystal silicon ingot and wafer

本發明涉及區熔法單晶生長領域及半導體製造領域,特別涉及一種單晶矽錠及晶圓的形成方法。 The invention relates to the field of single-crystal growth and semiconductor manufacturing in the zone melting method, in particular to a method for forming single-crystal silicon ingots and wafers.

單晶矽作為一種半導體材料被廣泛應用於半導體元件領域,因此需求量極大,而採用區熔法生長單晶矽是獲取單晶矽的一種重要方法。 As a semiconductor material, single crystal silicon is widely used in the field of semiconductor components, so the demand is huge, and single-crystal silicon growth by zone melting is an important method to obtain single crystal silicon.

區熔法又稱FZ法,即懸浮區熔法。是利用熱能在原料棒的一端產生一熔融區,再熔接單晶籽晶。調節溫度使熔融區緩慢地向原料棒的另一端移動,通過整根原料棒,生長成一根單晶,晶向與籽晶的相同。區熔法製備矽單晶具有如下優點:1、不使用坩堝,單晶生長過程不會被坩堝材料污染;2、由於雜質分凝和蒸發效應,可以生長出高電阻率的矽單晶。 The zone melting method is also called FZ method, that is, the suspension zone melting method. The heat energy is used to generate a melting zone at one end of the raw material rod, and then the single crystal seed crystal is welded. Adjust the temperature to slowly move the melting zone to the other end of the raw rod, and grow a single crystal through the entire raw rod with the same crystal orientation as the seed crystal. The zone melting method for preparing silicon single crystals has the following advantages: 1. Without the use of a crucible, the single crystal growth process will not be contaminated by the crucible materials; 2. Due to the effect of impurity segregation and evaporation, silicon single crystals with high resistivity can be grown.

使原料棒局部熔化的一般方法為:將柱狀的原料棒固定於卡盤,一個金屬線圈沿多晶長度方向緩慢移動並通過原料棒,在金屬線圈中通過高功率的射頻電流,射頻功率電磁場將在原料棒中引起渦流,產生焦耳熱,通過調整線圈功率,可以使得原料棒緊鄰線圈的部分熔化,線圈移過後,熔料結晶為單晶,其晶向與籽晶的相同。另一種使原料棒局部熔化的方法是使用聚焦電子束。整個區熔生長裝置可置於真空系統中,或者有 保護氣氛的封閉腔室內。 The general method of partially melting the raw material rod is: fixing the columnar raw material rod to the chuck, a metal coil slowly moves along the length of the polycrystal and passes through the raw material rod, and passes a high-power radio frequency current in the metal coil, and an electromagnetic field of radio frequency power Eddy current will be caused in the raw material rod, and Joule heat will be generated. By adjusting the coil power, the part of the raw material rod close to the coil can be melted. After the coil is moved, the melt crystallizes into a single crystal with the same crystal orientation as the seed crystal. Another method to locally melt the raw rod is to use a focused electron beam. The entire zone melt growth device can be placed in a vacuum system, or Protected atmosphere in a closed chamber.

工業界普遍採用氣體摻雜法應用于區熔法生長矽單晶。這種摻雜技術是將易揮發的PH4(N型摻雜)或B2H6(P型摻雜)氣體藉著氬氣(Ar)稀釋後直接吹入熔融區進行摻雜。其優點是製造商不需要再存儲不同電阻率的多晶矽原料棒。但是,在形成單晶矽的過程中仍舊不可避免的會引入雜質,例如碳。在矽的熔融溫度下,碳滲入晶格,隨著單晶矽從熔融矽中生長並冷卻,碳殘留在單晶矽中,進而影響後續形成的半導體元件的性能與可靠性。 The gas doping method is widely used in industry to grow silicon single crystals by zone melting. This doping technique involves diluting volatile PH 4 (N-type doping) or B 2 H 6 (P-type doping) gas with argon (Ar) and directly blowing it into the melting region for doping. The advantage is that manufacturers do not need to store polysilicon rods with different resistivities. However, it is still unavoidable that impurities such as carbon are introduced during the formation of single crystal silicon. At the melting temperature of silicon, carbon penetrates into the crystal lattice, and as the single crystal silicon grows and cools from the molten silicon, carbon remains in the single crystal silicon, which further affects the performance and reliability of the subsequently formed semiconductor elements.

因此,如何降低單晶矽中碳及其他雜質的含量,提高半導體元件的性能與可靠性是本領域技術人員需要解決的一個技術問題。 Therefore, how to reduce the content of carbon and other impurities in the single crystal silicon and improve the performance and reliability of the semiconductor device is a technical problem that those skilled in the art need to solve.

A more stable structure is formed, thereby increasing the resistance of the device to hot carriers, reducing leakage current, and improving the performance and reliability of the device.

一般情況下,大多數雜質在凝固矽中的溶解度小於在熔融區矽中的溶解度,因此,通過熔融區可以轉移大量的雜質,減少冷卻之後形成的單晶棒中的雜質數量,使得雜質不斷的向原料晶棒遠離單晶棒的一端 聚集,最終通過切割的方式去除含有大量雜質的原料棒,形成含有少量雜質的單晶棒。為了不斷減少單晶棒中雜質的含量,可以重複上述步驟一次或多次,因此所述單晶矽錠的方法還包括步驟S03:重複步驟S01與S02一次或多次,並且在重複時不需要通入含有氘元素的氣體,從而不斷減少單晶棒中的雜質含量,其具體的重複次數根據實際的工藝條件決定,在此不做限制。之後,可以根據所需晶圓的直徑對形成的單晶矽錠進行滾圓,形成規則的圓柱形,再對規則的單晶矽錠進行製作形成晶圓。 In general, the solubility of most impurities in solidified silicon is lower than that of silicon in the melting zone. Therefore, a large amount of impurities can be transferred through the melting zone, reducing the amount of impurities in the single crystal rod formed after cooling, making the impurities constantly To the end of the raw crystal rod away from the single crystal rod Aggregate, and finally remove the raw rod containing a large amount of impurities by cutting to form a single crystal rod containing a small amount of impurities. In order to continuously reduce the content of impurities in the single crystal rod, the above steps may be repeated one or more times. Therefore, the method for the single crystal silicon ingot further includes step S03: repeating steps S01 and S02 one or more times, and it is not necessary when repeating The gas containing deuterium is introduced to continuously reduce the impurity content in the single crystal rod. The specific number of repetitions is determined according to the actual process conditions, and is not limited here. After that, the formed single crystal silicon ingot can be rounded according to the diameter of the required wafer to form a regular cylindrical shape, and then the regular single crystal silicon ingot is fabricated to form a wafer.
