Description
本發明關於半導體器件製造領域,尤其關於一種化學液清洗基板後,積體電路基板清洗和乾燥的方法和裝置。 The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor device manufacturing, in particular to a method and device for cleaning and drying an integrated circuit substrate after the substrate is cleaned by a chemical liquid.
在半導體基板的加工過程中,避免細小顆粒和其他污染物接觸基板表面是非常重要的,因為顆粒和污染物會造成器件的產量低和壽命短,因此在產生顆粒或污染物的工藝步驟後執行清洗工藝是至關重要的。如今,清洗方法主要是濕法清洗,一組基板同時清洗(槽式清洗)或者每個基板單獨清洗(單片清洗)。由於多種原因,例如製程靈活性、成本效益和廢液管理,近幾年單片濕法清洗機在積體電路製造領域受到極大的歡迎。在單片濕法清洗機中,基板會用不同的工藝化學液進行一系列的處理,工藝的最終步驟是清洗和乾燥。由於乾燥是清洗工序的最後一步,它對整個清洗工藝而言是非常重要的。 During the processing of semiconductor substrates, it is very important to avoid fine particles and other contaminants from contacting the surface of the substrate, because particles and contaminants will cause low yield and short life of the device, so it is performed after the process steps that generate particles or contaminants The cleaning process is crucial. Nowadays, the main cleaning method is wet cleaning, a group of substrates are cleaned at the same time (trough cleaning) or each substrate is cleaned separately (single chip cleaning). Due to various reasons, such as process flexibility, cost-effectiveness and waste management, monolithic wet cleaning machines have been extremely popular in the field of integrated circuit manufacturing in recent years. In the single-chip wet cleaning machine, the substrate will be treated with a series of different process chemical liquids, and the final step of the process is cleaning and drying. Since drying is the last step of the cleaning process, it is very important for the entire cleaning process.
旋轉-清洗-乾燥對於單片濕法清洗機來說是常見的清洗方法。在該方法中,化學液處理後,大多數的清洗液在離心力的作用下從基板上甩掉,然而,由於清洗 液膜變薄,且達到一個點,在該點由於清洗液膜的粘性阻力比離心力大,離心力不再對清洗液的去除有效,最終,清洗液靠自然或強制蒸發而去除。微量的不易揮發的污染物和細小顆粒存在於變薄的清洗液中,清洗工藝結束後,這些污染物和細小顆粒結合在一起殘留在基板上。根據基板的化學同質性,這些不易揮發的污染物和細小顆粒會造成基板上的諸多瑕疵,衆所周知的例子就是基板疏水區域的浮水印。 Spin-clean-dry is a common cleaning method for single-chip wet cleaning machines. In this method, after the chemical liquid treatment, most of the cleaning liquid is thrown off the substrate under the action of centrifugal force. However, due to the cleaning The liquid film becomes thinner and reaches a point at which the viscous resistance of the cleaning liquid film is greater than the centrifugal force, and the centrifugal force is no longer effective for the removal of the cleaning liquid. Finally, the cleaning liquid is removed by natural or forced evaporation. A small amount of non-volatile pollutants and fine particles are present in the thinned cleaning solution. After the cleaning process is completed, these pollutants and fine particles are combined and remain on the substrate. According to the chemical homogeneity of the substrate, these non-volatile contaminants and fine particles can cause many defects on the substrate. A well-known example is the watermark on the hydrophobic area of the substrate.
Maragoni乾燥機的開發解決了上述的部分問題,Maragoni乾燥機主要使用表面張力梯度力將清洗液膜拉離基板,在乾燥過程中,在基板表面留下微小殘留清洗液膜。參考美國專利No.6,405,452公開了一種乾燥基板的方法,在該方法中,首先將基板浸沒在容器內的去離子水中,然後將乙醇蒸汽和惰性氣體的混合物通入沒有裝滿去離子水的容器的上部,接著,基板離開去離子水進入到容器的上部,從而去除基板表面的去離子水分子。Maragoni乾燥法引入的液體運動只在存在表面張力梯度的情況下起作用,並不保證其他地方沒有顆粒和污染物重新附著到基板表面,一旦重新附著,顆粒和污染物將很難去除。為了更好的去除顆粒和污染物,需要一種有效的方法來阻止顆粒和污染物重新附著在基板表面。 The development of the Maragoni dryer solves some of the above problems. The Maragoni dryer mainly uses the surface tension gradient force to pull the cleaning liquid film away from the substrate. During the drying process, a tiny residual cleaning liquid film is left on the surface of the substrate. Reference US Patent No. 6,405,452 discloses a method of drying a substrate. In this method, the substrate is first immersed in deionized water in a container, and then a mixture of ethanol vapor and inert gas is passed into the container that is not filled with deionized water. Then, the substrate leaves the deionized water and enters the upper part of the container, thereby removing the deionized water molecules on the surface of the substrate. The liquid movement introduced by the Maragoni drying method only works when there is a surface tension gradient. It does not guarantee that no particles and contaminants will re-attach to the substrate surface in other places. Once re-attached, the particles and contaminants will be difficult to remove. In order to better remove particles and contaminants, an effective method is needed to prevent particles and contaminants from re-attaching to the substrate surface.

As shown in Figures 1A-1B, the cleaning method proposed by the present invention
And a specific embodiment of a device for drying an integrated circuit substrate. The device includes a
第一噴嘴107設置在固體板101的端部以向基板104的表面噴灑清洗液。清洗液為去離子水或含臭氧的去離子水。第二噴嘴106設置在固體板101的端部並鄰近第一噴嘴107,且第二噴嘴106比第一噴嘴107更靠近固體板101的末端,第二噴嘴106用於向基板104的表面噴灑低張力化學品。低張力化學品可以是以下任意一種:乙醇、IPA、丙酮、乙酸乙酯或者是乙醇、IPA、丙酮、乙酸乙酯的蒸汽形態,較佳的,低張力化學品選用IPA液體或IPA蒸汽。活動臂102位於基板104的上方且與固體板101的末端相對以向基板104的表面供應乾燥氣體,乾燥氣體可以是以下任意一種:空氣、氮氣或氬氣,較佳者為氮氣。
The
根據該實施例,本發明還提供了清洗和乾燥工藝步驟,其中,去離子水、IPA和氮氣被噴到基板104的表面並結合固體板101的應用,顆粒和其他污染物將被有效的去除,並能阻止引入顆粒到基板104表面和裝置自身上。使用固體板101的操作步驟可以設置如下:
According to this embodiment, the present invention also provides cleaning and drying process steps, in which deionized water, IPA and nitrogen are sprayed onto the surface of the
步驟1:以第一轉速ω旋轉基板104,ω的範圍在10-50rpm,移動固體板101,使固體板101靠近基板104,固體板101的底面與基板104的上表面之間具有間隙。
Step 1: Rotate the
步驟2:使用第一噴嘴107向基板104的上表面噴灑去離子水以形成水膜108,水膜108覆蓋基板104的整個上表面,水膜108的厚度大約3mm,圖2A所示為步驟2的示例。
Step 2: Use the
步驟2是去離子水清洗步驟,在這一步驟中,由於基板104以一個相對低的轉速旋轉,水膜108為連續的水膜並覆蓋了基板104的整個上表面。
Step 2 is a deionized water cleaning step. In this step, since the
步驟3:降低固體板101,固體板101的底面大體上平行於基板104的上表面,此處的“大體上平行”意思是固體板101的底面平行或近似於平行基板104的上表面。固體板101緊挨著基板104以便在固體板101的底面和基板104的上表面之間形成液橋,由於毛細現象,液橋被限制在固體板101的底面和基板104的上表面之間。固體板101上至少有一個區域覆蓋基板104的中心區域,中心區域包括基板104的中心和靠近中心的區域。
Step 3: Lower the
步驟4:以大約300rpm的第二轉速旋轉基板104並向
基板104的上表面噴灑IPA一秒鐘,IPA透過第二噴嘴106噴灑到基板104的上表面,圖2B所示為步驟4的示例。由於基板104持續旋轉,噴灑到基板104上表面的IPA的路徑為螺旋狀,如圖2C所示。在這一步驟中,當IPA噴灑到基板104的上表面時,可以停止噴灑去離子水。
Step 4: Rotate the
步驟5:以程式預設的速度將固體板101從基板104的中心區域移動到基板104的邊緣,在移動過程中,固體板101大體上平行於基板104的上表面。同時,將活動臂102移動到基板104上方的特定位置以向基板104上表面供應氮氣,然後開始在該特定位置和基板104的邊緣之間做往復運動,活動臂102的運動終點為基板104的邊緣,此過程有利於去除顆粒。以大約300rpm的第二轉速持續旋轉基板104並持續向基板104的上表面噴灑IPA。圖2D所示為步驟5的示例。圖2E所示為在基板104上表面的IPA的螺旋運動軌述。
Step 5: Move the
如圖2F所示,在步驟5中,較佳的,當固體板101即將離開基板104時,將活動臂102移動到基板104的中心,然後開始基板104中心到邊緣的往復運動,活動臂102的運動終點在基板104的邊緣。
As shown in Figure 2F, in step 5, preferably, when the
如圖2G所示,在步驟5中,較佳的,當固體板101離開基板104後,將活動臂102移動到基板104的中心以供應氮氣,然後開始基板104中心到邊緣的往復運動,活動臂102的運動終點在基板104的邊緣。
As shown in FIG. 2G, in step 5, preferably, after the
由於液橋被限制在固體板101的底面和基板
104的上表面之間,表面張力低於去離子水的低張力化學品被引入到靠近固體板101末端邊緣的水膜108的自由液面上,且位於基板104的中心區域,在基板104的中心或靠近中心處形成一個表面張力梯度區域。移動固體板101往外推動水膜108,從而打破基板104中心區域水膜108的連續性。由於固體板101向外移動,拖拽下方的水膜108同軌述移動,固體板101底面下方的水膜108持續與固體板101噴灑的低張力化學品接觸,可維持固體板101末端邊緣表面張力梯度的存在,以推動水膜108向外流動。因此基板104可達成無水痕乾燥,且顆粒和污染物隨著水膜108一起被去除,並不會再吸附到基板104的表面。水膜108的縮減速度直接取決於固體板101的移動速度和基板104的轉速。在水膜108去除工藝的最後,氮氣可以由單獨的輸送裝置供應到基板104上,以幫助殘留在基板104表面的揮發性成分蒸發。
Because the liquid bridge is limited to the bottom surface of the
根據圖3A-3C所示的清洗和乾燥原理,表面張力對於乾燥性能來說是最重要的。在常用的Maragoni乾燥機中,顆粒和水膜的去除是透過從覆蓋有IPA層的水中拉基板。20℃,IPA的表面張力為21.3mN/m,去離子水的表面張力為72.7mN/m。由於高表面張力的液體比低表面張力的液體對周圍液體的拉力更強烈,表面張力梯度的存在將自然而然的使液體從低表面張力的區域流向高表面張力區域。水面上IPA的量、腔內溫度和向外拉基板的速度都需要精確控制。由於低粘度和低表面張力,IPA乾燥在單片清
洗機中也具有市場。IPA透過噴嘴噴到基板的表面,然後高速旋轉基板,透過離心力乾燥基板。這種方法非常方便,但對於疏水性和親水性的混合矽基板表面來說,在乾燥過程中,表面可能會存在浮水印的問題。所有現有的Maragoni乾燥技術在乾燥過程中具有自由液面,而本發明所揭示的方法將水膜108限制在固體板101的底面和基板104的上表面之間,透過這個方法,無論基板104是否具有可濕性表面,透過固體板101的移動和基板104的轉動,以及移動固體板101附加的液體噴灑裝置,可維持移動水膜108的連續性不被打破,透過固體板101的拖曳力與兩種液體間的表面張力梯度驅動力,使得水膜108徹底從基板104表面拉走。被限制的水膜108的連續性沒有被打破,因此從基板104的表面去除時有效避免了滴液的乾燥印記,這些乾燥印記,通常呈環形形成在疏水面,就是所謂的“浮水印”,它們因在半導體製造中會降低器件產量而聞名。
According to the cleaning and drying principles shown in Figures 3A-3C, surface tension is the most important for drying performance. In a commonly used Maragoni dryer, particles and water film are removed by pulling the substrate from the water covered with the IPA layer. At 20°C, the surface tension of IPA is 21.3mN/m, and the surface tension of deionized water is 72.7mN/m. Since liquids with high surface tension have stronger pulling force on the surrounding liquids than liquids with low surface tension, the existence of surface tension gradients will naturally cause the liquid to flow from areas of low surface tension to areas of high surface tension. The amount of IPA on the water surface, the temperature in the cavity, and the speed at which the substrate is pulled out need to be precisely controlled. Due to low viscosity and low surface tension, IPA dries in a single piece of clean
There is also a market in washing machines. IPA is sprayed onto the surface of the substrate through a nozzle, and then the substrate is rotated at a high speed to dry the substrate through centrifugal force. This method is very convenient, but for the surface of a hydrophobic and hydrophilic hybrid silicon substrate, during the drying process, the surface may have a watermark problem. All existing Maragoni drying technologies have a free liquid surface during the drying process. The method disclosed in the present invention confines the
當固體板101向外移動,拖動固體板101下方被限制的水膜108同軌跡移動,固體板101底面下方的水膜108持續與固體板101噴灑的低張力化學品接觸,以維持固體板101末端邊緣處的表面張力梯度區域,從而驅動水膜108向外流動。水膜108的縮減速度直接取決於固體板101的移動速度和基板104的轉速。圖3C所示為固體板101底面下方的水膜108與固體板101噴灑的低張力化學品接觸的實施例。γc是基板104表面上方和固體板101下方的水膜108的毛細長度,可以由以下計算:
其中,γ是表面張力,ρ是液體密度,g是重力加速度。在本發明所揭示的乾燥過程中,γ由於噴灑低張力化學品而逐漸減小,當固體板101離開基板104時,γc越來越小。
Among them, γ is the surface tension, ρ is the density of the liquid, and g is the acceleration due to gravity. In the drying process disclosed in the present invention, γ gradually decreases due to the spraying of low-tension chemicals. When the
參考圖4所示,圖4示意了基板的兩種屬性。接觸角φ大於90°,基板顯示疏水性。接觸角φ小於90°,基板顯示親水性。很難從疏水性的基板上去除表面顆粒,在半導體工業中,常用的去除顆粒的方法是將基板的疏水性改變為親水性,但在工藝過程中,將在基板上生長輕微氧化層,這對於器件的電氣特性是有害的,特別是臨界尺寸減小到65nm及以下。開發一種化學氧化層可控的集成性乾燥方法和設備是很有必要且急迫的。 Refer to Figure 4, which illustrates two properties of the substrate. The contact angle φ is greater than 90°, and the substrate shows hydrophobicity. The contact angle φ is less than 90°, and the substrate shows hydrophilicity. It is difficult to remove surface particles from a hydrophobic substrate. In the semiconductor industry, the commonly used method for removing particles is to change the hydrophobicity of the substrate to hydrophilic. However, during the process, a slight oxide layer will grow on the substrate. It is harmful to the electrical characteristics of the device, especially the critical dimension is reduced to 65nm and below. It is necessary and urgent to develop an integrated drying method and equipment with controllable chemical oxide layer.
如圖5A-5B所示為使用固體板101的基板104清洗和乾燥的基本原理的一個實施例。如圖5A所示,透過旋轉基板104,去離子水膜可以保持在基板104的表面和邊緣,去離子水膜對於接下來的工藝步驟是非常重要的,例如,防止局部區域的化學濃度高,由於基板104邊緣液膜的分離壓力,圖5A示意了一個不穩定的狀態。噴灑IPA且IPA擴散至去離子水膜後,混合液體中將產生表面張力梯度,表面張力和基板104邊緣處的分離壓力之間的相互作用使得整個液膜分成兩部分,如圖5B。由於離心力和重力,位於基板104邊緣處的部分將從基板104上滴落,圖5B中
所示的液膜可以解決基板104邊緣的浮水印問題。
5A-5B show an example of the basic principle of cleaning and drying the
如圖6A-6D所示為使用固體板201的基板204清洗和乾燥的基本原理的另一個實施例。圖6A所示為基板204上液相的接觸角φ,φ和基板的表面特性之間的關係已經在圖4中呈現。圖6B所示為毛細作用力,發生在液體填滿兩個活動部件之間的微小空間時。當兩個活動部件之間液體接觸角φ小於90°時,由於“液橋”的形成使得兩個表面之間存在引力,根據理論得到的表面張力為:γ=Fmax/2πr
6A-6D show another embodiment of the basic principle of cleaning and drying the
其中,Fmax是最大過剩力,r是液體的半徑。 Among them, Fmax is the maximum excess force and r is the radius of the liquid.
圖6C所示為在低張力化學品噴灑到基板204表面的過程中可能發生的現象,該現象由表面張力引起,並對基板204的乾燥工藝有害。幸運的是,這種現象可以透過固體板201的應用而避免。如圖6D所示,可以看出均勻的液膜覆蓋固體板201下方的基板204,固體板201的底面和基板204的上表面之間的間隙d應該被控制在小於r。

如圖7A-7C所示為關於固體板301和基板304之間的均勻液膜的正式理論的一個實施例。圖7A所示,往基板304表面噴灑低張力化學品的過程中理論上會形成島狀液膜。圖7B所示為固體板301作用於基板304表面。固體板301以特定的速度離開基板304,移動過程中固體板301大體上與基板304的表面平行,同時,基板304旋轉且轉速由乾燥性能決定。當固體板301離開基板304時,固體板301的下方有層流309。圖7C所示為固體板301作用
於基板304的表面。離心力和表面張力之間的相互作用使均勻液膜覆蓋固體板301下方的基板304。

如圖8所示為使用固體板401的基板清洗和乾燥原理的又一個實施例。布朗運動表面上看是液體內懸浮顆粒410的隨機運動,尤其是在液膜中。如果液膜的溫度升高,布朗運動加劇,如果液體的粘度降低,布朗運動依然加劇。因此,透過帶有低張力化學品輸送系統的固體板401對液膜進行加熱處理,加劇顆粒410和污染物的布朗運動,阻止更多顆粒410和污染物附著到基板404的表面。此外,透過在固體板401上安裝兆聲波換能器對液膜施加兆聲波能量,聲波能量引起的微觀高速流場去除可能重新依附到基板404表面的顆粒410和污染物。

511上塗有PEEK,溫度控制裝置511為多個電阻加熱塊或多個輻射加熱燈。在清洗和乾燥基板504的工藝過程中,透過固體板501提供熱能,加劇小顆粒和污染物的布朗運動,阻止更多顆粒和污染物附著到基板504的表面。透過使用溫度控制裝置511,基板504表面的低張力化學品的溫度根據工藝要求被保持在一個特定的範圍。裝置在不降低工藝性能的情況下能夠提高加工能力。裝置還包括設置在固體板501上的兆聲波換能器,兆聲波換能器向液膜提供兆聲波能量,在被限制的液膜中產生空化微流,阻止小顆粒和污染物在清洗和乾燥過程中重新吸附到基板504的表面。

邊上,且第二噴嘴706可以沿著固體板701的斜邊移動。去離子水清洗工藝完成後,不論固體板701是否向基板704外側移動,第二噴嘴706向基板704噴灑低張力化學品並沿著固體板701的斜邊移動。第二噴嘴706可以沿著固體板701的斜邊往復運動。在噴灑低張力化學品的過程中,當基板704旋轉時,移動第二噴嘴706可以保持低張力液膜連續覆蓋在基板704上。圖11B所示為乾燥過程中固體板701向基板704外側移動的狀態。在這一工藝期間,當第二噴嘴706噴灑低張力化學品時,第二噴嘴706可以沿著固體板701的斜邊往復運動,低張力化學品連續覆蓋基板704,以避免浮水印和污染物的問題。
