請參考圖1及圖2,由附圖標記100表示的外延反應器為一單晶片類型。外延反應器100包含一腔室105、一氣體供應管線110、一氣體排出管線115、一基座120、一底夾具125、一頂夾具127、一預熱環129、以及一基座支撐件130。 Referring to Figures 1 and 2, the epitaxial reactor represented by reference numeral 100 is of a single wafer type.

The chamber 105 may include a gas inlet 108 connected to the gas supply line 110 on one side thereof, a gas outlet 109 connected to the gas discharge line 115 on the other side thereof, a bottom dome 103, and a top dome 104. . After a source gas supplied through the gas supply line 110 is introduced into the chamber 105, the source gas may flow along the surface of a wafer 101 (for example, a wafer) disposed in the chamber 105, and then may pass through the gas outlet 109 is discharged from the gas discharge line 115.

在圖1中,表示出了一個氣體供應管線110、一個氣體排出管線115、一個氣體入口108、以及一個氣體出口109,但不限於此。上述配置的數量可分別是一個或多個。 In Fig. 1, a gas supply line 110, a gas discharge line 115, a gas inlet 108, and a gas outlet 109 are shown, but are not limited thereto. The number of the above configurations may be one or more.

底夾具125可設置在腔室105中以圍繞基座120,並且頂夾具127可設置在腔室105中,同時設置在底夾具125上以面對底夾具125。這裡,底夾具125和頂夾具127可以由石英(SiO2)或碳化矽(SiC)形成。預熱環129可沿著底夾具125的鄰近基座120的內表面形成,同時鄰近基座120設置以圍繞基座120,使得熱均勻地傳遞。 A bottom clamp 125 may be disposed in the chamber 105 to surround the base 120, and a top clamp 127 may be disposed in the chamber 105 while being disposed on the bottom clamp 125 to face the bottom clamp 125. Here, the bottom jig 125 and the top jig 127 may be formed of quartz (SiO 2 ) or tantalum carbide (SiC). The preheating ring 129 may be formed along the inner surface of the bottom clamp 125 adjacent to the base 120 while being disposed adjacent to the base 120 to surround the base 120 such that heat is uniformly transmitted.

基座120是用於在外延反應期間裝載晶片101的部件。基座120可以由碳石墨、碳化矽或塗覆有碳化矽的碳石墨形成。基座120可設置在腔室105中,並且晶片101可安裝在基座的一頂表面上。The susceptor 120 is a component for loading the wafer 101 during an epitaxial reaction. The susceptor 120 may be formed of carbon graphite, tantalum carbide or carbon graphite coated with tantalum carbide. The susceptor 120 may be disposed in the chamber 105, and the wafer 101 may be mounted on a top surface of the susceptor.

首先,執行運行待機S110。First, the operation standby S110 is executed.

在將晶片101裝載到基座120上之後,在生長一外延層(運行處理)之前執行運行待機以穩定腔室105的內部。After the wafer 101 is loaded onto the susceptor 120, a running standby is performed to stabilize the inside of the chamber 105 before growing an epitaxial layer (running process).

在執行運行待機時,基座120以一恆定速度旋轉。將從氣體供應管線110供給的一惰性氣體或氫氣(H2 )在腔室105的內部溫度為700〜780℃(例如730℃)下,通過氣體入口108引入腔室105內部,並且通過氣體出口109從氣體排出管線115排出。When the running standby is performed, the susceptor 120 is rotated at a constant speed. An inert gas or hydrogen (H 2 ) supplied from the gas supply line 110 is introduced into the interior of the chamber 105 through the gas inlet 108 at an internal temperature of the chamber 105 of 700 to 780 ° C (for example, 730 ° C), and passes through the gas outlet. 109 is discharged from the gas discharge line 115.

這裡,惰性氣體或氫氣(H2 )的一流速可以為45〜55SLM。舉例而言,氫氣(H2 )的流速可以為50SLM。 SLM是每分鐘標準升的縮寫。Here, a flow rate of the inert gas or hydrogen (H 2 ) may be 45 to 55 SLM. For example, the flow rate of hydrogen (H 2 ) can be 50 SLM. SLM is an abbreviation for standard liters per minute.

接下來,執行清洗S120。Next, the cleaning S120 is performed.

在清洗S120中,腔室105中的污染物通過氣體出口109和氣體排出管線115從腔室105排出。In the cleaning S120, the contaminants in the chamber 105 are discharged from the chamber 105 through the gas outlet 109 and the gas discharge line 115.

圖3係為表示根據本發明一實施例的圖1所示的清洗處理的流程圖。FIG. 3 is a flow chart showing the cleaning process shown in FIG. 1 according to an embodiment of the present invention.

如圖3所示,清洗S120可包含烘焙210、蝕刻220、以及最終排出230。As shown in FIG. 3, the cleaning S120 can include baking 210, etching 220, and final discharge 230.

在烘焙210中,基座120旋轉,並且腔室保持在1150至1200℃的溫度。In the baking 210, the susceptor 120 is rotated, and the chamber is maintained at a temperature of 1150 to 1200 °C.

在烘焙210中,類似於在執行運行待機S110中,將惰性氣體或氫氣(H2 )引入腔室105中,並且從氣體出口109排出。烘焙210中的一流速可以低於在執行運行待機S110中的流速,而不限於此。In the baking 210, similarly in the execution of the operation standby S110, an inert gas or hydrogen (H 2 ) is introduced into the chamber 105 and discharged from the gas outlet 109. A flow rate in the baking 210 may be lower than a flow rate in performing the operation standby S110, without being limited thereto.

舉例而言,腔室105的內部溫度可以是1180至1190℃。例如,在烘焙210中,腔室105的內部溫度可以是1185℃。For example, the internal temperature of the chamber 105 may be 1180 to 1190 °C. For example, in baking 210, the internal temperature of the chamber 105 may be 1185 °C.

由於腔室105的內部溫度在烘焙210中較高,所以附著或吸收到腔室105之內表面的污染物,即粉末或顆粒的活性增加,使得污染物可以從腔室105的內表面分離或提升。Since the internal temperature of the chamber 105 is higher in the baking 210, the contaminants attached to or absorbed into the inner surface of the chamber 105, that is, the activity of the powder or particles, are increased, so that the contaminants can be separated from the inner surface of the chamber 105 or Upgrade.

也就是說,在烘焙210步驟中黏附到腔室105內表面的污染物可以分離或提升,以便容易地從腔室105中排出。That is, contaminants adhering to the inner surface of the chamber 105 in the baking 210 step may be separated or lifted to be easily discharged from the chamber 105.

烘焙210中的氫氣(H2 )的流速可以與執行運行待機S110時的氫氣(H2 )的流速相同。烘焙210的時間可相比較於運行待機S110的時間更長。The flow rate of the hydrogen gas (H 2 ) in the baking 210 may be the same as the flow rate of the hydrogen gas (H 2 ) when the standby operation S110 is performed. The time of baking 210 may be longer than the time of running standby S110.

接下來,在蝕刻220中,基座120旋轉,同時將蝕刻氣體供應到腔室105,使得污染物從腔室105的內表面分離或去除。Next, in the etch 220, the susceptor 120 is rotated while supplying an etching gas to the chamber 105, so that contaminants are separated or removed from the inner surface of the chamber 105.

此外,在烘焙210中分離的污染物可進一步分離或提升。In addition, contaminants separated in the baking 210 can be further separated or lifted.

在蝕刻220中,腔室105的內部溫度維持在烘焙210中的腔室105的內部溫度,同時一蝕刻氣體,例如HCl氣體通過氣體入口108供應至腔室105,且通過氣體出口109排出。這裡,引入和從腔室105排出的蝕刻氣體的流速可以是20至30SLM。舉例而言,蝕刻氣體的流速可以為25SLM。In the etching 220, the internal temperature of the chamber 105 is maintained at the internal temperature of the chamber 105 in the baking 210, while an etching gas such as HCl gas is supplied to the chamber 105 through the gas inlet 108, and is discharged through the gas outlet 109. Here, the flow rate of the etching gas introduced and discharged from the chamber 105 may be 20 to 30 SLM. For example, the flow rate of the etching gas can be 25 SLM.

在蝕刻220中,引入並排出一惰性氣體或氫氣,但是蝕刻220中的惰性氣體或氫氣的流速可低於烘焙210中的惰性氣體或氫氣的流速。In the etching 220, an inert gas or hydrogen gas is introduced and discharged, but the flow rate of the inert gas or hydrogen in the etching 220 may be lower than the flow rate of the inert gas or hydrogen in the baking 210.

舉例而言,蝕刻220中的惰性氣體或氫氣的流速與烘焙210中的惰性氣體或氫氣的流速之間的比例可以是1:7至1:8。For example, the ratio between the flow rate of the inert gas or hydrogen in the etch 220 and the flow rate of the inert gas or hydrogen in the bake 210 may be 1:7 to 1:8.

蝕刻220的時間可等於或大於烘焙210的時間。舉例而言,烘焙210的時間和蝕刻220的時間之比例可以為1:1至1:1.5。The time of etching 220 may be equal to or greater than the time of baking 210. For example, the ratio of the time of baking 210 to the time of etching 220 may be 1:1 to 1:1.5.

順序地,執行最終排出污染物230。In sequence, the final discharge of contaminants 230 is performed.

在烘焙210和蝕刻220中分離或提升的污染物,例如粉末或顆粒通過氣體出口109從氣體排出管線115排放。Contaminants, such as powder or particles, separated or lifted in the baking 210 and the etch 220 are discharged from the gas discharge line 115 through the gas outlet 109.

當基座120以一恆定速度旋轉時,可以將惰性氣體或氫氣引入腔室105中,並且透過引入的惰性氣體或氫氣提升的污染物可通過氣體出口109排出。When the susceptor 120 is rotated at a constant speed, an inert gas or hydrogen gas may be introduced into the chamber 105, and contaminants lifted by the introduced inert gas or hydrogen may be discharged through the gas outlet 109.

在最終排出230中,腔室105的內部溫度可以是700至800℃。舉例而言,在最終排出230中的腔室105的內部溫度可以是750℃。In the final discharge 230, the internal temperature of the chamber 105 may be 700 to 800 °C. For example, the internal temperature of the chamber 105 in the final discharge 230 may be 750 °C.

在最終排出中,惰性氣體或氫氣的流速相比較於在烘焙210和蝕刻220中的流速更大。In the final discharge, the flow rate of the inert gas or hydrogen is greater than the flow rates in the baking 210 and the etching 220.

舉例而言,烘焙210中的惰性氣體或氫氣的流速與最終排出230中的惰性氣體或氫氣的流速之比例可以是1:1.5至1:2。For example, the ratio of the flow rate of the inert gas or hydrogen in the bake 210 to the flow rate of the inert gas or hydrogen in the final discharge 230 may be 1:1.5 to 1:2.

最終排出230的時間可相比較於烘焙210和蝕刻220的時間更大。The time for final discharge 230 can be greater than the time for baking 210 and etching 220.

舉例而言,蝕刻220的時間與最終排出230的時間之間的比例可以是1:8至1:10。For example, the ratio between the time of etching 220 and the time of final discharge 230 may be 1:8 to 1:10.

在烘焙210、蝕刻220以及最終排出230期間,基座120可按照一恆定速度(例如40至45RPM)旋轉。During baking 210, etching 220, and final discharge 230, susceptor 120 can be rotated at a constant speed (eg, 40 to 45 RPM).

由於以最高流速和最長時間執行最終排出,因此可穩定地排出腔室105中的污染物。由此,可以減少外延晶片的損傷或缺陷。Since the final discharge is performed at the highest flow rate and the longest time, the contaminants in the chamber 105 can be stably discharged. Thereby, damage or defects of the epitaxial wafer can be reduced.

圖4係為表示根據本發明另一實施例的圖1所示的清洗處理的流程圖。4 is a flow chart showing the cleaning process shown in FIG. 1 according to another embodiment of the present invention.

附圖標記與圖3相同,表示與圖3相同的結構和步驟。簡要描述或省略相同的配置和步驟。The reference numerals are the same as those of Fig. 3, and show the same structures and steps as those of Fig. 3. Briefly describe or omit the same configuration and steps.

請參照圖4,清洗S120-1可包含一初始排出201、增加溫度202、烘焙210、蝕刻220、塗覆基座225、以及最終排出230。Referring to FIG. 4, the cleaning S120-1 may include an initial discharge 201, an increased temperature 202, a baking 210, an etch 220, a coating susceptor 225, and a final discharge 230.

與圖3相比,清洗S120-1還可包括在運行待機S110和烘焙210之間執行的初始排出201和增加溫度202,以及在蝕刻220和最終排出230之間執行的塗覆基座225。In comparison with FIG. 3, the cleaning S120-1 may further include an initial discharge 201 and an increased temperature 202 performed between the running standby S110 and the baking 210, and a coating base 225 performed between the etching 220 and the final discharge 230.

初始排出201可以在運行待機S110之後執行。The initial discharge 201 may be performed after the standby standby S110.

在初始排出201中,基座120以一恆定速度旋轉,腔室105的內部溫度保持在700至800℃,並且一惰性氣體或氫氣引入至腔室105中,並且通過氣體出口109排出。In the initial discharge 201, the susceptor 120 is rotated at a constant speed, the internal temperature of the chamber 105 is maintained at 700 to 800 ° C, and an inert gas or hydrogen gas is introduced into the chamber 105 and discharged through the gas outlet 109.

舉例而言,初始排出201中的惰性氣體或氫氣的流速可相比較於在執行運行待機S110中的惰性氣體或氫氣的流速更大。For example, the flow rate of the inert gas or hydrogen in the initial discharge 201 may be larger than the flow rate of the inert gas or hydrogen in the execution of the operation standby S110.

舉例而言,初始排出201的惰性氣體或氫氣的流速可以與烘焙210的惰性氣體或氫氣的流速相同。初始排出201是其中惰性氣體或氫氣的流速穩定地保持和烘焙210相同的流速的部分,即惰性氣體或氫氣的流速的一穩定部分。For example, the flow rate of the inert gas or hydrogen of the initial discharge 201 may be the same as the flow rate of the inert gas or hydrogen of the baking 210. The initial discharge 201 is a portion in which the flow rate of the inert gas or hydrogen stably maintains the same flow rate as the baking 210, that is, a stable portion of the flow rate of the inert gas or hydrogen.

舉例而言,最終排出的惰性氣體或氫氣的流速可以是初始排出201、烘焙210、蝕刻220、以及最終排出230中最高的。For example, the flow rate of the finally discharged inert gas or hydrogen may be the highest of the initial discharge 201, the baking 210, the etching 220, and the final discharge 230.

初始排出201的時間可相比較於烘焙210的時間更少。The time of initial discharge 201 can be less than the time of baking 210.

可以在初始排出201和烘焙210之間執行增加溫度202。The increased temperature 202 can be performed between the initial discharge 201 and the bake 210.

增加溫度202是腔室的溫度從初始排出201期間的腔室溫度逐漸增加到烘焙210的腔室溫度的部分。The increased temperature 202 is the portion of the chamber that gradually increases from the chamber temperature during the initial discharge 201 to the chamber temperature of the bake 210.

增加溫度202的時間可大於蝕刻220的時間,並且可小於最終排出230的時間。The time to increase the temperature 202 may be greater than the time of the etch 220 and may be less than the time of the final discharge 230.

增加溫度202中惰性氣體或氫氣的流速可以與烘焙210中的惰性氣體或氫氣的流速相同。Increasing the flow rate of the inert gas or hydrogen in the temperature 202 may be the same as the flow rate of the inert gas or hydrogen in the baking 210.

塗覆基座225在蝕刻220和最終排出230之間執行。The coating pedestal 225 is performed between the etch 220 and the final vent 230.

首先,在塗覆基座120之前,腔室105的內部溫度從用於蝕刻220的腔室105的溫度降低到預定溫度(例如20至40℃),並且用於塗覆基座的氣體120例如TCS氣體引入至腔室105中並通過氣體出口109排出。由此,基座120的一表面塗覆有TCS。也就是說,可防止由蝕刻220產生的缺陷(例如滑移)。First, before the susceptor 120 is coated, the internal temperature of the chamber 105 is lowered from the temperature of the chamber 105 for etching 220 to a predetermined temperature (for example, 20 to 40 ° C), and the gas 120 for coating the susceptor is, for example, The TCS gas is introduced into the chamber 105 and discharged through the gas outlet 109. Thus, a surface of the susceptor 120 is coated with a TCS. That is, defects (such as slip) generated by the etching 220 can be prevented.

接下來,可執行惰性閒置S130。Next, the idle idle S130 can be executed.

在執行惰性閒置S130時,運行停止,並且外延反應器110的電源停止。When the idle idle S130 is executed, the operation is stopped, and the power of the epitaxial reactor 110 is stopped.

在執行惰性閒置S130時,外延反應器100的總電源或總供電功率可以是零(0),腔室105的內部溫度可以是0至20℃(例如室溫)並且可將例如氮氣(N2 )的惰性氣體引入到腔室105中,並且可通過氣體出口109排出。When the idle idle S130 is performed, the total power or total power of the epitaxial reactor 100 may be zero (0), the internal temperature of the chamber 105 may be 0 to 20 ° C (eg, room temperature), and nitrogen (N 2 ) may be used, for example. The inert gas is introduced into the chamber 105 and can be discharged through the gas outlet 109.

這裡,在執行惰性閒置S130時,惰性氣體(例如氮氣)的排放流速可小於在執行運行待機S110、烘焙210、以及最終排出230中的惰性氣體或氫氣的流速。舉例而言,氮氣的排出流速可以為15〜25SLM。舉例而言,氮氣的排出流速可以為20SLM。Here, when the inert idle S130 is performed, the discharge flow rate of the inert gas (for example, nitrogen) may be smaller than the flow rate of the inert gas or hydrogen in the execution of the standby standby S110, the baking 210, and the final discharge 230. For example, the nitrogen gas discharge rate can be 15 to 25 SLM. For example, the nitrogen flow rate can be 20 SLM.

由於外延晶片的質量異常,當執行例如洗滌器清洗、葉片示教、基座的檢查的外延反應器的維護時,可以在不打開腔室105的情況下執行惰性閒置S130。Due to the abnormal quality of the epitaxial wafer, when the maintenance of the epitaxial reactor such as scrubber cleaning, blade teaching, and inspection of the susceptor is performed, the idle idle S130 can be performed without opening the chamber 105.

接下來,執行虛擬運行S135。Next, a virtual run S135 is performed.

在執行虛擬運行S135中,外延層沉積在至少一個虛擬晶片上。In performing virtual operation S135, an epitaxial layer is deposited on at least one dummy wafer.

舉例而言,由於外延層順次地沉積在預定量的晶片上,因此在執行惰性閒置S130之後,去除由腔室105中形成的水產生的反應物,以及由在氣體出口109及氣體排出管線115排出流的脈動所產生的污染物。For example, since the epitaxial layer is sequentially deposited on a predetermined amount of wafers, after the inerting idle S130 is performed, the reactants generated by the water formed in the chamber 105 are removed, and by the gas outlet 109 and the gas discharge line 115. Contaminants from the pulsation of the effluent stream.

虛擬運行S135可包含以下處理S140、S150、以及S160。The virtual run S135 may include the following processes S140, S150, and S160.

首先,執行激活虛擬運行S140。First, the activation virtual run S140 is performed.

根據一預定的配方,外延層沉積於基座120上裝載的虛擬晶片上。An epitaxial layer is deposited on the dummy wafer loaded on the susceptor 120 in accordance with a predetermined recipe.

使用一可選擇的外延生長製程,外延層可沉積在虛擬晶片上。An epitaxial layer can be deposited on the dummy wafer using an alternative epitaxial growth process.

舉例而言,可選擇的外延生長製程可透過一化學氣相沉積(CVD)製程、一減壓化學氣相沉積(RPCVD)製程、以及一超高真空化學氣相沉積(UHVCVD)製程來執行,但不限於此。For example, the optional epitaxial growth process can be performed by a chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process, a reduced pressure chemical vapor deposition (RPCVD) process, and an ultra high vacuum chemical vapor deposition (UHVCVD) process. But it is not limited to this.

舉例而言,可選擇的外延生長可以在1000至1200℃的溫度下執行,並且可透過將例如SiH4 、二氯矽烷(SiH2 Cl2 、DCS)、三氯矽烷(SiH2 Cl3 、TCS)的源氣體供應至腔室來執行。For example, the optional epitaxial growth can be performed at a temperature of 1000 to 1200 ° C, and can pass, for example, SiH 4 , dichlorosilane (SiH 2 Cl 2 , DCS), trichlorosilane (SiH 2 Cl 3 , TCS). The source gas is supplied to the chamber for execution.

接下來,在沉積外延層之後,確定虛擬晶片的數量,即虛擬運行的數量(N,例如N = 5)是否與預定數量相同(S150)。這裡,虛擬運行的數量可以與沉積外延層的虛擬晶片的數量相同。Next, after depositing the epitaxial layer, the number of dummy wafers, that is, the number of virtual runs (N, for example, N = 5) is determined to be the same as the predetermined number (S150). Here, the number of virtual runs may be the same as the number of dummy wafers on which the epitaxial layer is deposited.

當虛擬運行的數量等於這個預定數量時,根據一預定方案執行一外延晶片的製造S170。When the number of virtual runs is equal to this predetermined number, the fabrication S170 of an epitaxial wafer is performed in accordance with a predetermined scheme.

然而,當虛擬運行的數量不同於預定數量時,虛擬運行的數量增加一個,外延層沉積於新的虛擬晶片上,並且重複執行步驟S140和S150。However, when the number of virtual runs is different from the predetermined number, the number of virtual runs is increased by one, the epitaxial layer is deposited on the new dummy wafer, and steps S140 and S150 are repeatedly performed.

虛擬運行S135用於去除保留在腔室105中的污染物。The virtual run S135 is used to remove contaminants remaining in the chamber 105.

在執行惰性閒置S130時,可透過低腔室溫度(例如室溫)產生水,反應物可透過由產生的水提供的氧氣(O2)與腔室中的剩餘氣體(例如SixClyHz)之間的反應而產生。這種反應物可以是在外延晶片中產生缺陷的污染物。When the inert idle S130 is performed, water can be generated through a low chamber temperature (for example, room temperature), and the reactant can be permeable to the reaction between the oxygen (O2) supplied from the generated water and the remaining gas in the chamber (for example, SixClyHz). And produced. This reactant can be a contaminant that produces defects in the epitaxial wafer.

圖5A係為表示外延反應器的腔室中的水量的曲線圖。Figure 5A is a graph showing the amount of water in the chamber of the epitaxial reactor.

如圖5A所示,在惰性閒置S130開始的一點501之後,外延反應器100的腔室105中的水(H2O)量逐漸增加。As shown in FIG. 5A, the amount of water (H2O) in the chamber 105 of the epitaxial reactor 100 gradually increases after a point 501 from the start of the idle idle S130.

根據在執行惰性閒置S130期間的氣體和激活S140的氣體之間的流速差(其中這些氣體通過氣體出口109排出),在外延反應器100的氣體出口109和氣體排出管線115處產生排出流的脈動。The pulsation of the discharge flow is generated at the gas outlet 109 and the gas discharge line 115 of the epitaxial reactor 100 according to the difference in flow rate between the gas during the execution of the inert idle S130 and the gas activating the S140, wherein the gases are discharged through the gas outlet 109. .

圖5B表示了在氣體出口和氣體排出管線中的排出流的脈動。請參考圖5B,在惰性閒置S130之後,可產生排出流的脈動。由於在惰性閒置S130中產生的粉末或顆粒供應到腔室,所以腔室可能受到污染。因此,可能在外延晶片產生缺陷。Figure 5B shows the pulsation of the effluent stream in the gas outlet and gas discharge line. Referring to FIG. 5B, after the idle idle S130, the pulsation of the exhaust stream can be generated. Since the powder or particles generated in the inert idle S130 are supplied to the chamber, the chamber may be contaminated. Therefore, defects may be generated in the epitaxial wafer.

在執行惰性閒置S130之前透過清洗S120來清除腔室105中的污染物,並且去除在惰性閒置S130中產生的反應物和透過在圖5B中描述的排放流的脈動而引入到腔室105中的污染物。使得可防止在外延晶片產生的缺陷。The contaminants in the chamber 105 are purged by the cleaning S120 prior to performing the idle idle S130, and the reactants generated in the inert idle S130 are removed and introduced into the chamber 105 by the pulsation of the discharge flow described in FIG. 5B. Contaminants. This makes it possible to prevent defects generated in the epitaxial wafer.

圖6A表示根據本實施例在執行惰性閒置之前和之後的晶片的缺陷程度。圖6B表示圖6A中所示的一局部光散射(LLS)的數量、一平均值、以及一標準偏差。Fig. 6A shows the degree of defect of the wafer before and after the inert idle is performed according to the present embodiment. Fig. 6B shows the number, a mean value, and a standard deviation of a partial light scattering (LLS) shown in Fig. 6A.

圖6A表示出尺寸為200奈米(nm)的一局部光散射(LLS)。情況1表示在惰性閒置之前測量的LLS,情況2表示在惰性閒置之後測量的LLS。N表示缺陷的總數,Avg表示一個晶片的LLS的一平均值,以及StDeV表示LLS的一標準偏差。 Figure 6A shows a partial light scattering (LLS) having a size of 200 nanometers (nm). Case 1 represents the LLS measured before the idle idle, and Case 2 represents the LLS measured after the idle idle. N represents the total number of defects, Avg represents an average of LLS of one wafer, and StDeV represents a standard deviation of LLS.

請參考圖6A及圖6B,情況2的Avg相比較於情況1的Avg更小。在惰性閒置之後,LLS不增加,使得可透過根據實施例的製造方法製造的外延晶片改善缺陷。 Referring to FIG. 6A and FIG. 6B, the Avg of Case 2 is smaller than the Avg of Case 1. After the inertness is idle, the LLS is not increased, so that the defects can be improved by the epitaxial wafer manufactured by the manufacturing method according to the embodiment.

從以上描述顯而易見的是,根據本發明,可防止在外延晶片中形成缺陷。 As apparent from the above description, according to the present invention, formation of defects in the epitaxial wafer can be prevented.

對於本領域技術人員顯而易見的是,在不脫離本發明的精神或範圍的情況下,可以對本發明進行各種修改和變化。因此,本發明旨在覆蓋本發明的修改和變化,只要它們在所附的專利申請範圍及其等同的範圍之內。 It will be apparent to those skilled in the art that various modifications and changes can be made in the present invention without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention.
