Description

研磨裝置、晶圓的研磨方法及晶圓的製造方法Grinding device, wafer grinding method, and wafer manufacturing method

本發明係關於一種研磨裝置、晶圓的研磨方法及晶圓的製造方法。The invention relates to a grinding device, a wafer grinding method and a wafer manufacturing method.

半導體晶圓的研磨的一般的流程,係為於雙面研磨(DSP)加工後,以單面研磨(CMP)加工來進行二次研磨及修飾研磨。The general process of semiconductor wafer polishing is to perform secondary polishing and finishing polishing by single-side polishing (CMP) after double-side polishing (DSP) processing.

圖11係表示過去的晶圓的研磨流程的範例的圖。將晶圓DSP加工(S1’)後,進行二次研磨加工(S3’),最後進行修飾研磨加工(S5’)。二次研磨加工則視必要亦可反覆二次以上(S4’)。FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a conventional wafer polishing flow. After the wafer is DSP processed (S1'), the secondary grinding process (S3') is performed, and finally the finishing grinding process (S5') is performed. The secondary grinding process may be repeated more than two times if necessary (S4').

由於晶圓是藉由DSP加工及CMP加工的磨除量總和來作出形狀,故DSP形狀的變化大幅地影響著晶圓的平坦度的參差。Since the wafer is shaped by the sum of the removal amount of DSP processing and CMP processing, the variation of the DSP shape greatly affects the variance of the flatness of the wafer.

CMP加工係對DSP加工後的晶圓進行。DSP加工中,晶圓的外周形狀係以翹起形狀為目標來製作。雖然之後的CMP加工中,整體上以依照前形狀為目標,但為了讓晶圓的最外周部不要下垂,會以成為若干的翹起形狀的方式來設定。因此,會有DSP及CMP中的形狀匹配無法順利進行,於CMP加工中使DSP形狀惡化的情形。 [先前技術文獻] [專利文獻]CMP processing is performed on wafers processed by DSP. In DSP processing, the outer peripheral shape of the wafer is manufactured with the aim of a warped shape. In the subsequent CMP process, the overall aim is to conform to the previous shape, but in order to prevent the outermost peripheral part of the wafer from drooping, it is set so that it becomes a slightly warped shape. Therefore, shape matching in DSP and CMP may not be performed smoothly, and the shape of DSP may be deteriorated in CMP processing. [Prior Technical Literature] [Patent Document]

[專利文獻1]日本國際公開第2010/023829號公報 [專利文獻2]日本特開2012-35393號公報 [專利文獻3]日本國際公開第2013/001719號公報[Patent Document 1] Japanese International Publication No. 2010/023829 [Patent Document 2] Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 2012-35393 [Patent Document 3] Japanese International Laid-Open Publication No. 2013/001719

[發明所欲解決之問題] 如上述般,過去會有藉由雙面研磨(DSP)加工等的研磨加工的晶圓外周形狀成為翹起形狀的情形,因位於CMP加工中將晶圓最外周部設定為翹起形狀,而會有DSP加工等的CMP加工前的研磨加工以及於CMP加工中的形狀匹配無法順利進行,於CMP加工中使藉由DSP加工等的研磨加工形狀惡化的情形。為了提升CMP加工後的晶圓的品質,有必要使DSP加工等的CMP加工前的研磨加工與於CMP加工中的形狀匹配。[Problem to be solved by the invention] As mentioned above, in the past, the outer peripheral shape of the wafer processed by grinding such as double-side polishing (DSP) processing has become a raised shape, because the outermost peripheral portion of the wafer is set in a raised shape during CMP processing, and Grinding before CMP processing such as DSP processing and shape matching during CMP processing may not be performed smoothly, and the shape of the grinding process by DSP processing or the like may deteriorate during CMP processing. In order to improve the quality of wafers after CMP processing, it is necessary to match the polishing process before CMP processing such as DSP processing with the shape during CMP processing.

有鑑於上述問題,本發明提供一種研磨裝置及晶圓的研磨方法,能夠使DSP加工等的CMP加工前的研磨加工與於CMP加工中的形狀匹配較過去更為提升,而將CMP加工後的晶圓形狀予以平坦化。 [解決問題之技術手段]In view of the above problems, the present invention provides a grinding device and a wafer grinding method, which can make the shape matching between the grinding process before the CMP process such as DSP processing and the shape matching in the CMP process more improved than in the past, and the CMP process after the CMP process The wafer shape is flattened.

若為這樣的研磨裝置,即使晶圓外周部被製作為翹起形狀,使用具有修正晶圓的局部(晶圓的外周部)的功能的研磨裝置(CMP裝置)而能夠進行於CMP加工中的形狀匹配,得到高平坦的晶圓係成為可能。With such a polishing device, even if the outer peripheral part of the wafer is made into a warped shape, it can be performed in CMP processing using a polishing device (CMP device) that has a function of correcting a part of the wafer (the outer peripheral part of the wafer). Shape matching makes it possible to obtain a highly flat wafer system.

此時,該局部研磨墊係於該晶圓的外周與該局部研磨墊的中心位置接觸而研磨為佳。At this time, it is preferable that the local polishing pad is ground by contacting the outer periphery of the wafer with the center of the local polishing pad.

若為這樣的研磨裝置,將晶圓外周部的翹起形狀更確實地且均一地研磨係成為可能。According to such a polishing apparatus, it is possible to more reliably and uniformly polish the warped shape of the outer peripheral portion of the wafer.

此外,這時該研磨裝置係包括用以洗淨該研磨頭的得以上下移動的一背墊洗淨台,該局部研磨墊係配置於該背墊洗淨台,且該背墊洗淨台及該局部研磨墊得以分別地上下移動為佳。In addition, at this time, the grinding device includes a back pad cleaning table that can move up and down for cleaning the grinding head, the local polishing pad is arranged on the back pad cleaning table, and the back pad cleaning table and the back pad cleaning table It is preferable that the partial polishing pad can move up and down separately.

此外,本發明提供一種晶圓的研磨方法,係為使用本發明的研磨裝置的晶圓的研磨方法,其中進行該晶圓全面的單面研磨之前,在使該局部研磨墊朝向該研磨頭相對地上升而使以該研磨頭支承的該晶圓與該局部研磨墊接觸的同時,使支承該晶圓的該研磨頭旋轉而得以呈同心圓狀地局部研磨該晶圓的外周部。In addition, the present invention provides a wafer grinding method, which is a wafer grinding method using the grinding device of the present invention, wherein before performing comprehensive single-side grinding of the wafer, the partial grinding pad is opposed to the grinding head. While the wafer supported by the polishing head is raised to contact the local polishing pad, the polishing head supporting the wafer is rotated to locally polish the outer periphery of the wafer concentrically.

若為這樣的研磨方法,將過去藉由例如DSP的晶圓外周部係製作為翹起形狀且於CMP加工後無法修正而平坦度變差之物,使用具有修正晶圓的局部(晶圓的外周部)的功能的研磨裝置(CMP裝置)予以局部研磨而能夠進行於CMP加工中的形狀匹配,得到高平坦的晶圓係成為可能。If it is such a grinding method, the outer peripheral part of the wafer, which has been made into a warped shape by DSP in the past and cannot be corrected after CMP processing, and the flatness deteriorates, is used with a part of the corrected wafer (wafer's The function of the polishing device (CMP device) of the peripheral part) can be locally polished to perform shape matching in CMP processing, and it is possible to obtain a highly flat wafer system.

此外,這時該局部研磨墊係於該晶圓的外周與該局部研磨墊的中心位置接觸而研磨為佳。In addition, at this time, the local polishing pad is preferably ground so that the outer periphery of the wafer is in contact with the center of the local polishing pad.

此外,這時僅自該晶圓外周端起,於半徑方向20~50mm的範圍內研磨該晶圓為佳。In addition, at this time, it is preferable to grind the wafer within a range of 20 to 50 mm in the radial direction only from the outer peripheral end of the wafer.

若為這樣的研磨方法,能夠僅對晶圓外周部的翹起形狀更有效地修正,得到高平坦的晶圓係成為可能。According to such a polishing method, only the warping shape of the outer peripheral portion of the wafer can be corrected more effectively, and it becomes possible to obtain a highly flat wafer system.

若為這樣的晶圓的製造方法,製造高平坦的晶圓係成為可能。 [對照先前技術之功效]According to such a wafer manufacturing method, it becomes possible to manufacture a highly flat wafer system. [Compared with the effect of previous technology]

若為本發明的研磨裝置及晶圓的研磨方法,將藉由例如DSP等的晶圓的外周部係製作為翹起形狀且於CMP加工後無法修正而平坦度變差之物,使用具有修正晶圓的局部(晶圓的外周部)的功能的研磨裝置(CMP裝置)而能夠進行於CMP加工中的形狀匹配,得到高平坦的晶圓係成為可能。In the case of the grinding apparatus and wafer grinding method of the present invention, the outer peripheral portion of the wafer, such as DSP, is made into a warped shape and cannot be corrected after CMP processing, and the flatness becomes poor. The polishing device (CMP device) that functions as a part of the wafer (outer peripheral part of the wafer) can perform shape matching in CMP processing, and it is possible to obtain a highly flat wafer system.

以下針對本發明,參考圖式並說明實施型態,然而本發明並不限於此。The following describes the embodiments of the present invention with reference to the drawings, but the present invention is not limited thereto.

研磨步驟中的晶圓的平坦度係藉由DSP加工等的CMP加工前的研磨加工及CMP加工的磨除量總和來製作。The flatness of the wafer in the polishing step is produced by the sum of the polishing process before CMP processing such as DSP processing and the removal amount of CMP processing.

CMP加工前的研磨加工後的晶圓外周形狀一旦大幅地變化,會有於CMP加工中無法將形狀修正為平坦且無法製作高平坦度的晶圓的問題。此外,平坦度的形狀惡化係起因於晶圓外周部為多。Once the outer peripheral shape of the wafer after grinding before CMP processing changes greatly, there is a problem that the shape cannot be corrected to be flat during CMP processing, and a wafer with high flatness cannot be produced. In addition, the shape deterioration of the flatness is caused by the fact that there are many outer peripheral parts of the wafer.

DSP加工係以成為沒有外周下垂的平坦的形狀為目標,以致外周部容易變成翹起的形狀。為了於之後的CMP加工中讓外周不下垂而變成若干的翹起形狀,當DSP形狀參差為大幅度的翹起形狀時,會造成平坦度變差。DSP processing aims at a flat shape without sagging of the outer periphery, so that the outer peripheral part tends to become a warped shape. In order to prevent the outer periphery from sagging in the subsequent CMP processing, it becomes a somewhat warped shape. When the DSP shape varies into a large warped shape, it will cause flatness to deteriorate.

於是,本發明人等為了解決這樣的問題而積極探討。結果找出了於CMP加工前使晶圓形狀局部地變化,使CMP加工前的晶圓的形狀與CMP的形狀匹配,藉此能夠抑制平坦度惡化,進而完成本發明。Then, the inventors of the present invention actively studied to solve such a problem. As a result, they found out that the deterioration of flatness can be suppressed by locally changing the shape of the wafer before CMP processing and matching the shape of the wafer before CMP processing with the shape of CMP, and completed the present invention.

首先,說明本發明的研磨裝置的範例。本發明的研磨裝置係為於研磨裝置追加局部研磨功能的裝置。First, an example of the polishing device of the present invention will be described. The grinding device of the present invention is a device in which a local grinding function is added to the grinding device.

The polishing device 11 of the present invention takes out the wafer from the wafer pod of the wafer loading device 13 , and sets the wafer on the loading table 16 for attaching the wafer to the grinding head. The grinding head is in a state where the back pad of the wafer adsorption surface is cleaned with pure water by a nylon brush, and waits for the loading platform 16 to come under the grinding head. After the loading table 16 stops under the grinding head, as shown in FIG. 5 , the grinding head 1 descends in order to attach the wafer W.

此外,這時局部研磨墊18係於局部研磨墊18的中心位置與晶圓W外周的位置接觸為佳。In addition, at this time, the local polishing pad 18 is preferably in contact with the outer periphery of the wafer W at the central position of the local polishing pad 18 .

The polishing device of the present invention may also be one in which the local polishing pad 18 for polishing the part is disposed on the back pad cleaning table 8 of the loading/unloading mechanism 15 . At this time, the local grinding system is carried out in the following manner: after the wafer W is supported on the grinding head 1, the unit for scrubbing the grinding head 1 before the support of the wafer W is located at the lower part of the grinding head 1 again, and the grinding head 1 is lowered to be equipped on the back. The local polishing pad 18 of the pad cleaning table 8 , which is smaller than the wafer size, rises relatively toward the polishing head 1 , comes into contact with the wafer W, and rotates the polishing head 1 while supplying a polishing slurry.

In the past, as shown in Figure 8 and Figure 9, nylon wool 9' and fluid spray nozzle 10' were provided in the back pad cleaning table 8' to clean the grinding head 1'. On the other hand, as shown in Figure 3, in the back cushion cleaning platform 8 of the present invention, except nylon wool 9 and fluid spray nozzle 10, on the back cushion cleaning platform 8, be divided into four equal parts by nylon wool 9 One of the back pad cleaning benches 8 is provided with a local grinding pad 18. In addition, the partial polishing pad 18 of the back pad cleaning stand 8 of the present invention can move up and down separately from the back pad cleaning stand 8 . In addition, the polishing slurry is supplied to the surface of the wafer W from the same fluid spray nozzle 10 used for cleaning the polishing head 1 .

晶圓的局部研磨後,晶圓搬送至研磨加工台19,進行二次研磨及修飾研磨,晶圓W搬送至卸載台17而藉由純水噴射自研磨頭1剝離,藉由卸載裝置14搬送至下一個步驟。After the partial grinding of the wafer, the wafer is transported to the grinding processing table 19 for secondary grinding and finishing grinding.

At the grinding table 19, the grinding cloth is attached to the fixed plate. Thereafter, as shown in FIG. 7 , the polishing slurry is supplied to the polishing cloth 6 attached to the platen 7 , and the polishing head 1 supporting the wafer W is slid on the polishing cloth 6 to perform polishing.

其次,針對本發明的晶圓的研磨方法,使用圖12及圖13進行說明。圖12係說明本發明的晶圓的研磨方法中的局部研磨加工的動作的流程圖。此外,圖13係表示藉由本發明的晶圓的研磨方法的研磨流程的範例的圖。Next, the wafer polishing method of the present invention will be described using FIGS. 12 and 13 .

In addition, FIG. 13 is a diagram showing an example of a polishing flow by the wafer polishing method of the present invention.

本發明的晶圓的研磨方法中,首先自晶舟盒取出晶圓W(圖13的(A)),將晶圓W設置於裝載台16(圖13的(B))。In the wafer polishing method of the present invention, first, the wafer W is taken out from the pod ( FIG. 13(A) ), and the wafer W is set on the loading stage 16 ( FIG. 13(B) ).

研磨頭1在將晶圓W支承於模板5的背墊2之前,使晶圓吸附面的背墊2為純水洗淨的狀態(圖12的SC1、圖13的(C))。在此,作為背墊的洗淨方法,以使用背墊洗淨台8配置有局部研磨墊18之物的場合為例進行說明。圖6係表示本發明的研磨頭的背墊的洗淨的範例的圖。研磨頭1下降而到達洗淨位置後,附有尼龍毛9及流體噴霧噴嘴10的背墊洗淨台8會自研磨頭1的下側朝向研磨頭1上升而靠近。自流體噴霧噴嘴10將純水朝向背墊2噴霧的同時,使尼龍毛(尼龍製刷)9與背墊2接觸,使背墊洗淨台8及研磨頭1兩者旋轉而洗淨。研磨頭1及背墊洗淨台8的旋轉中心R1、R2係為錯開,背墊的導引部3亦同時刷洗。此時,局部研磨墊18係於較尼龍毛9為低的位置待命。Before the polishing head 1 supports the wafer W on the back pad 2 of the template 5 , the back pad 2 of the wafer suction surface is cleaned with pure water ( SC1 in FIG. 12 , (C) in FIG. 13 ). Here, as a method of cleaning the back pad, a case where the back pad cleaning table 8 is used in which the partial polishing pad 18 is disposed will be described as an example. Fig. 6 is a diagram showing an example of cleaning of the back pad of the polishing head of the present invention. After the grinding head 1 descends and reaches the cleaning position, the back pad cleaning table 8 with the nylon wool 9 and the fluid spray nozzle 10 will rise towards the grinding head 1 from the bottom of the grinding head 1 and approach. While pure water is sprayed toward the back pad 2 from the fluid spray nozzle 10 , nylon bristles (nylon brushes) 9 are brought into contact with the back pad 2 , and both the back pad cleaning table 8 and the polishing head 1 are rotated for cleaning. The rotation centers R1 and R2 of the grinding head 1 and the back pad cleaning table 8 are staggered, and the guide part 3 of the back pad is also brushed simultaneously. At this time, the local grinding pad 18 is on standby at a lower position than the nylon hair 9.

圖5係說明往本發明的研磨裝置的研磨頭的晶圓的貼附的圖。結束背墊洗淨的研磨頭1於預定的位置待命,其次設置於裝載台16上的PVA海綿12上的晶圓W於研磨頭1正下方待命。之後,研磨頭1下降至輕壓PVA海綿12的位置為止而於模板5的晶圓袋支承晶圓W,進一步,使研磨頭1的壓力P1為負壓,使背墊2變形而進行晶圓支承。FIG. 5 is a diagram illustrating attachment of a wafer to a polishing head of the polishing apparatus of the present invention. After cleaning the back pad, the polishing head 1 stands by at a predetermined position, and then the wafer W placed on the PVA sponge 12 on the loading table 16 stands by directly below the polishing head 1 . Afterwards, the polishing head 1 is lowered to the position where the PVA sponge 12 is lightly pressed to support the wafer W on the wafer bag of the template 5, further, the pressure P1 of the polishing head 1 is negative pressure, and the back pad 2 is deformed to carry out wafer processing. support.

與示於圖14的藉由過去的晶圓的研磨方法的研磨流程的範例不同,本發明的晶圓的研磨方法係包含於晶圓全面的單片研磨之前,局部研磨晶圓W的外周部的步驟。局部研磨步驟中,首先,背墊洗淨台8上升至研磨頭1側(圖13的(G))。進一步,局部研磨墊18朝向研磨頭1相對地上升(圖13的(H)),將局部研磨墊18推抵晶圓,自流體噴出噴嘴10噴射研磨漿,使研磨頭1旋轉而呈同心圓狀地局部研磨晶圓W的外周部(圖12的SC3、圖13的(I))。Different from the example of the grinding process by the conventional wafer grinding method shown in FIG. 14 , the wafer grinding method of the present invention includes partially grinding the outer periphery of the wafer W before the wafer is fully single-piece polished. A step of. In the partial polishing step, first, the back pad cleaning table 8 is raised to the side of the polishing head 1 ( FIG. 13(G) ). Further, the partial polishing pad 18 is relatively raised toward the polishing head 1 ((H) of FIG. 13 ), the partial polishing pad 18 is pushed against the wafer, and the polishing slurry is sprayed from the fluid ejection nozzle 10, so that the polishing head 1 is rotated to form a concentric circle. The outer peripheral portion of the wafer W is locally ground in a similar manner ( SC3 in FIG. 12 , (I) in FIG. 13 ).

此外,這時加工周速度能夠僅以研磨頭的旋轉來控制。In addition, at this time, the machining peripheral speed can be controlled only by the rotation of the polishing head.

此外,這時局部研磨亦可在局部研磨墊中心部與晶圓外周部接觸的位置關係下進行。In addition, at this time, local polishing may be performed in a positional relationship in which the center of the local polishing pad is in contact with the outer periphery of the wafer.

此外,這時無關乎晶圓的直徑,而僅自晶圓的外周端起,於半徑方向20~50mm的範圍內研磨為佳。特別是因為300mm以上等的大直徑的晶圓中,此區域的平坦度尤其會成為問題。In addition, at this time, regardless of the diameter of the wafer, it is preferable to grind only within the range of 20 to 50 mm in the radial direction from the outer peripheral end of the wafer. In particular, in wafers with a large diameter of 300 mm or more, the flatness of this region becomes a problem.

此外,這時荷重能夠以局部研磨墊的高度位置來調節。In addition, at this time, the load can be adjusted by the height position of the local polishing pad.

局部研磨晶圓後,研磨頭1旋轉(圖13的(J)),研磨頭1下降而設置於研磨加工台19(圖13的(K))。After the wafer is partially polished, the polishing head 1 is rotated ( FIG. 13(J) ), and the polishing head 1 is lowered to be set on the polishing table 19 ( FIG. 13(K) ).

將二次研磨布或修飾研磨布貼上定盤7,以壓力P1(內壓)、壓力P2(外壓)施加荷重,使研磨頭1與定盤7旋轉而全面研磨經局部研磨的晶圓(圖12的SC4、圖13的(L))。Attach the secondary grinding cloth or modified grinding cloth to the fixed plate 7, and apply the load with the pressure P1 (internal pressure) and pressure P2 (external pressure), so that the grinding head 1 and the fixed plate 7 are rotated to fully grind the partially ground wafer (SC4 in FIG. 12 , (L) in FIG. 13 ).

研磨頭1係將用以使晶圓支承位置動作的壓力P1及用以使模板的導引部3動作的壓力P2予以組合而進行研磨加工。於模板5的背墊2支承晶圓W時,是由使背墊表面含有純水而藉由純水的表面張力的晶圓吸附,以及使壓力P1為負壓而藉由背墊2的變形的晶圓吸附兩者所進行。The polishing head 1 performs polishing by combining the pressure P1 for operating the wafer support position and the pressure P2 for operating the guide portion 3 of the template. When the back pad 2 of the template 5 supports the wafer W, the wafer W is absorbed by the surface tension of the pure water by making the back pad surface contain pure water, and the deformation of the back pad 2 by making the pressure P1 a negative pressure The wafer adsorption was performed by both.

晶圓W的全面研磨後,研磨頭1上升而自研磨加工台19離開(圖13的(M))。圖13的(J)至(M)的步驟可如同圖13的(N)至(U)的步驟般反覆數次。After the entire surface of the wafer W is polished, the polishing head 1 rises and leaves the polishing table 19 ( FIG. 13(M) ). The steps of (J) to (M) in FIG. 13 can be repeated several times like the steps of (N) to (U) in FIG. 13 .

此外,這時要局部研磨的晶圓為經雙面研磨加工的晶圓,能夠以CMP裝置在CMP加工前將DSP的晶圓外周形狀部分地修正。In addition, the wafer to be partially ground at this time is a double-side ground wafer, and the outer peripheral shape of the DSP wafer can be partially corrected by the CMP apparatus before the CMP process.

圖10係表示使用本發明的研磨裝置的研磨流程的範例的圖,以及圖11係表示使用過去的研磨裝置的研磨流程的範例的圖。雖然示於圖11的使用過去的研磨裝置的研磨流程的範例中,進行DSP S1’後,進行二次研磨S3’、二次研磨S4’,但是在本發明的研磨方法中,能夠如圖10般,進行DSP S1後,於CMP之前,進行晶圓外周部的局部研磨S2,搬送至研磨加工台19,進行二次研磨S3、二次研磨S4,最後進行修飾研磨S5。FIG. 10 is a diagram showing an example of a polishing flow using a polishing apparatus of the present invention, and FIG. 11 is a diagram showing an example of a polishing flow using a conventional polishing apparatus. Although shown in the example of the grinding process of the grinding device in the past using the grinding device in the past, after carrying out DSP S1 ', carry out secondary grinding S3 ', secondary grinding S4 ', but in the grinding method of the present invention, can be as shown in Figure 10 Generally, after DSP S1, before CMP, local polishing S2 of the outer periphery of the wafer is performed, transported to the polishing table 19, secondary polishing S3, secondary polishing S4 are performed, and finally touch-up polishing S5 is performed.

卸載台17的托盤往裝載/卸載位置移動後(圖13的(V)),經全面研磨加工的晶圓W被搬送至卸載台17,研磨頭1下降(圖13的(W)),晶圓W藉由純水噴射而自研磨頭1剝離(圖13的(X)),運送至下一個步驟(後續步驟的洗淨)(圖13的(Y))。After the tray of the unloading table 17 moves to the loading/unloading position ((V) in FIG. 13 ), the fully polished wafer W is transported to the unloading table 17 , and the polishing head 1 is lowered ((W) in FIG. 13 ). The circle W is peeled off from the polishing head 1 by pure water jetting ((X) of FIG. 13 ), and is conveyed to the next step (cleaning of the subsequent step) ((Y) of FIG. 13 ).

這樣一來便製造出晶圓。若為這樣的本發明的晶圓的製造方法,能夠製造高平坦的晶圓。 [實施例]In this way, wafers are produced. According to such a wafer manufacturing method of the present invention, a highly flat wafer can be manufactured. [Example]

以下舉出實施例及比較例而具體地說明本發明,但本發明不限於這些。Hereinafter, although an Example and a comparative example are given and this invention is demonstrated concretely, this invention is not limited to these.

(實施例1-5) 局部磨墊的直徑於138mm(實施例1)、98mm(實施例2)、50.8mm(實施例3)、38mm(實施例4)及18mm(實施例5)的五種水準下,將雙面研磨(DSP)加工後的晶圓予以局部研磨加工後,進行晶圓全面的單面研磨(CMP)(二次研磨及修飾研磨),比較邊緣部的平坦度評估指標之一的ESFQR(max)的在局部研磨加工前後的差異。 此外,局部研磨加工係使晶圓的外周與局部研磨墊的中心位置接觸而進行。(Example 1-5) The diameter of the local grinding pad is under five levels of 138mm (embodiment 1), 98mm (embodiment 2), 50.8mm (embodiment 3), 38mm (embodiment 4) and 18mm (embodiment 5). The wafer after polishing (DSP) is partially polished, and then the wafer is fully polished on one side (CMP) (secondary polishing and touch-up polishing), and ESFQR (max), which is one of the evaluation indicators for flatness at the edge, is compared. The difference before and after the partial grinding process. In addition, the local polishing process is performed by bringing the outer periphery of the wafer into contact with the central position of the local polishing pad.

局部研磨的加工條件如下。 [研磨加工條件] 裝置:不二越機械製單面研磨機 加工晶圓:直徑300mm P- 品<100>矽晶圓 研磨布:研磨布料 不織布 研磨劑:研磨漿 KOH基底膠體二氧化矽The processing conditions of partial grinding are as follows.

[Grinding Processing Conditions] Device: Single-side grinding machine made by Fujikoshi Machinery Wafer: Diameter 300mm P - product <100> Silicon wafer grinding cloth: grinding cloth non-woven cloth (secondary grinding) and velvet cloth (modifying grinding) two kinds of abrasives : Slurry KOH-based colloidal silica and N 4 OH-based colloidal silica

晶圓的平坦度測量使用KLA-Tencor公司製平坦度測量機WaferSight 2。外周除外範圍(E﹒E﹒)以1mm進行。自測量的晶圓的平坦度算出ΔESFQR(max)。For the flatness measurement of the wafer, a flatness measuring machine WaferSight 2 manufactured by KLA-Tencor was used. Excluding the peripheral area (E.E.) is carried out in 1mm. ΔESFQR(max) was calculated from the measured flatness of the wafer.

表1係表示各實施例中局部研磨墊的尺寸(直徑)與晶圓上的局部研磨墊的接觸範圍(晶圓上的墊接觸範圍)的關係。Table 1 shows the relationship between the size (diameter) of the local polishing pad and the contact area of the local polishing pad on the wafer (pad contact area on the wafer) in each embodiment.

【表1】

【Table 1】
Figure 108110994-A0304-0001

於圖15表示實施例1-5的ΔESFQR(max)的結果。實施例1-5中,ΔESFQR(max)顯示為負值或為小的正值。實施例1-4中,藉由局部研磨而縮小晶圓全面研磨後的ΔESFQR(max)的值,而使晶圓的平坦度提升。此外,實施例5中,壓低ΔESFQR(max),而壓低因無法進行雙面研磨加工與單面研磨加工的形狀匹配所造成的平坦度惡化。The results of ΔESFQR(max) in Examples 1-5 are shown in FIG. 15 . In Examples 1-5, ΔESFQR(max) showed a negative value or a small positive value. In Examples 1-4, the value of ΔESFQR(max) after the wafer is fully polished is reduced by partial grinding, so that the flatness of the wafer is improved. In addition, in Example 5, ΔESFQR(max) was lowered to reduce flatness deterioration due to the inability to perform shape matching between double-side grinding and single-side grinding.

局部研磨墊的尺寸(直徑)一旦變得小於98mm,外周翹起修正效果會變大,此外,一旦成為18mm以上,修正效果會變得更適切,故局部的修正範圍係自晶圓的外周端起100mm的範圍為佳。Once the size (diameter) of the local polishing pad becomes smaller than 98mm, the correction effect of the peripheral warping will become greater. In addition, once it becomes more than 18mm, the correction effect will become more appropriate, so the local correction range is from the outer peripheral end of the wafer The range from 100mm is better.

(比較例1、實施例6) 其次,將與過去方式同樣在未經局部研磨的狀態下進行至CMP加工為止(比較例1)的場合的ESFQR(max)以及經藉由本發明的直徑50.8mm的局部研磨墊局部研磨的狀態下進行至CMP加工為止(實施例6)的場合的晶圓形狀線圖予以比較。(Comparative Example 1, Example 6) Next, ESFQR (max) in the case of performing CMP processing (comparative example 1) without partial polishing in the same manner as in the conventional method and in the state of partial polishing by the partial polishing pad of the present invention with a diameter of 50.8mm Wafer shape diagrams in the case of performing up to CMP processing (Example 6) were compared.

實施例6中,局部研磨及全面研磨係以與實施例1-5同樣的條件進行。此外,比較例1中,全面研磨係以與實施例1-5同樣的條件進行。In Example 6, partial grinding and full grinding were carried out under the same conditions as in Examples 1-5. In addition, in Comparative Example 1, the overall polishing was performed under the same conditions as in Examples 1-5.

此外,晶圓的平坦度測量使用KLA-Tencor公司製平坦度測量機WaferSight 2。外周除外範圍(E﹒E﹒)以1mm進行。In addition, for the flatness measurement of the wafer, a flatness measuring machine WaferSight 2 manufactured by KLA-Tencor was used. Excluding the peripheral area (E.E.) is carried out in 1mm.

於圖16表示實施例6的DSP加工後的晶圓形狀線圖、局部研磨加工後的晶圓形狀線圖、CMP加工後的晶圓形狀線圖、藉由局部研磨加工的研磨磨除量線圖及藉由CMP加工的研磨磨除量線圖。16 shows the wafer shape line diagram after DSP processing, the wafer shape line diagram after partial grinding, the wafer shape line diagram after CMP processing, and the grinding removal amount line by partial grinding in Example 6. Figure and the grinding removal amount line diagram processed by CMP.

於圖17表示比較例1的DSP加工後的晶圓形狀線圖、CMP加工後的晶圓形狀線圖及藉由CMP加工的研磨磨除量線圖。FIG. 17 shows a wafer shape diagram after DSP processing, a wafer shape diagram after CMP processing, and a grinding removal amount diagram by CMP processing in Comparative Example 1. FIG.

一旦將有局部研磨的場合(實施例6)及沒有的場合(比較例1)於各加工步驟中晶圓形狀的變化予以比較,則可得知藉由局部研磨而使CMP加工前的原料中產生的翹起被消除,能夠藉由局部研磨加工將CMP加工後的形狀予以平坦化。Once the changes in wafer shape in each processing step are compared between the case with local grinding (Example 6) and the case without (Comparative Example 1), it can be known that the raw material before CMP processing can be reduced by local grinding. The generated warping is eliminated, and the shape after CMP processing can be flattened by partial grinding.

(比較例2、實施例7) 進一步,將與過去方式同樣在未經局部研磨的狀態下進行至CMP加工為止(比較例2)時的ESFQR(max)以及在經藉由本發明的直徑50.8mm的局部研磨墊局部研磨的狀態下進行至CMP加工為止(實施例7)時的ESFQR(max)予以比較。(Comparative Example 2, Example 7) Furthermore, ESFQR (max) when performing CMP processing (comparative example 2) without partial polishing in the same manner as in the conventional method and in the state of partial polishing by a partial polishing pad with a diameter of 50.8 mm of the present invention ESFQR (max) up to CMP processing (Example 7) was performed and compared.

晶圓的平坦度測量使用KLA-Tencor公司製平坦度測量機WaferSight 2。外周除外範圍(E﹒E﹒)以1mm進行。For the flatness measurement of the wafer, a flatness measuring machine WaferSight 2 manufactured by KLA-Tencor was used. Excluding the peripheral area (E.E.) is carried out in 1mm.

圖18係將與過去方式同樣在未經局部研磨的狀態下進行至CMP加工為止(比較例2)時的ESFQR(max)以及在經藉由本發明的直徑50.8mm的局部研磨墊局部研磨的狀態下進行至CMP加工為止(實施例7)時的ESFQR(max)予以比較的圖。Fig. 18 shows the ESFQR (max) when performing CMP processing (Comparative Example 2) in the same state without partial polishing as in the conventional method, and the state of partial polishing by the partial polishing pad with a diameter of 50.8mm of the present invention. Below is a graph comparing ESFQR (max) up to CMP processing (Example 7).

如圖18所示,與過去的研磨方法(比較例2)相比,進行藉由本發明的局部研磨的修正的方法(實施例7),平坦度顯示為小的值且為良好的結果。As shown in FIG. 18 , compared with the conventional polishing method (Comparative Example 2), the correction method (Example 7) by local polishing according to the present invention showed a good result with a small value of flatness.

如上所述,使用本發明的研磨裝置及研磨方法,能夠於CMP加工前藉由局部研磨墊進行局部研磨而改善晶圓的平坦度參差。As mentioned above, using the polishing apparatus and polishing method of the present invention, it is possible to improve the unevenness of wafer flatness by performing local polishing on a local polishing pad before CMP processing.

另外,本發明並不限於上述的實施型態。上述實施型態為舉例說明,凡具有及本發明的申請專利範圍所記載之技術思想及實質上同一構成而產生相同的功效者,不論為何物皆包含在本發明的技術範圍內。In addition, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned implementation forms.
