Definitions
- the present invention relates to defects in semiconductor silicon wafers used in semiconductor manufacturing, and in particular to SPD (Surface Particle and Surface Particles).
- the present invention relates to a wafer processing technique called “defect” for making the surface of the wafer defective and fouling with a low tear.
- SPD is a semiconductor silicon wafer which is observed on the surface by a part counter after washing a semiconductor silicon wafer with NH (NH4OM2O2-H2O). Say anything more than 0 ".
- Sections to be solved by the invention Therefore, as an easy way to reduce SPD, it is only necessary to slow down the pulling speed in the production of single crystals, but naturally this will reduce productivity. However, it affects its physical properties, such as oxygen-induced defects and oxygen precipitation ability.
- the present invention provides a new technology that can reduce SPD even for a wafer obtained from a single crystal grown at an increased pulling speed.
- an unheated semiconductor silicon wafer having an oxygen concentration of X L0 17 to 2 X I 0 18 atoms / cc and a carbon concentration of tx 10 16 atomsZcc or less is subjected to 1000 x 1000 in an oxidizing atmosphere. ° C to L300. It is heat-treated at a temperature of C for 0.5 to 5 hours.
- the oxygen saturation t X ⁇ 0 17 to 2 x I 0 18 atoms / cc, the carbon agitation LO x LO 16 atonisZ The unheated semiconductor silicon wafer of CC or less is subjected to L000 in an inert atmosphere. Heat-treat at a temperature of ° C to 1300 ° C for 0.5 to 5 hours.
- an unheated semiconductor silicon nanometer having an oxygen concentration ix 10 17 to 2 X 10 18 atoms cc carbon concentration LX lOT 6 atoms After heat treatment at 1300 ° C at 0-5 to 5 o'clock, the main surface is polished.
- an unheat-treated semiconductor silicon wafer having an oxygen agitation t X ⁇ 0 17 to 2 ⁇ L 0 18 atoms / cc and a carbon concentration L ⁇ L 0 16 atoms / eC or less is placed in an inert atmosphere. After heat treatment at a temperature of 1000 ° C to 1300 ° C for 0.5 to 5 hours, the main surface is polished.
- FIG. 1 is a graph showing the relationship between the heat treatment temperature and the SPDO in silicon wafer.
- Fig. 2 shows the relationship between the oxide film breakdown voltage failure rate and SPD.
- Figure 3 shows the relationship between the single crystal pulling rate by the Chiral Sky method and the SPD teaching in the crystal.
- SPD is thought to be a type of defect formed during the crystal cooling process during single crystal growth, but it is not yet clear at this time.
- the oxygen disturbance IX 10 17 to 2 X I 0 1 toms / cc and the carbon concentration is I x I 0 16 atoms / cc or less: t 000 as in the present invention . It is considered that these may be dissolved by the temperature treatment of C or more.
- U00 was used for 25 wafers each obtained from a silicon single crystal having the same physical properties. Heat treatment was performed at C and 1000 ° C.
- FIG. 1 plots the average values of the SPD teaching of the wafers obtained in Example L and Reference Example I above for each processing temperature. As can be seen, the SPD education in the wafer has been drastically reduced due to the heat treatment at 1000 ° C or higher.
- Wafer in / out speed to heat treatment furnace ⁇ 2 ⁇ 77 ⁇ min
- the percentage of non-defective products that have changed from Z wafers has increased to 90%.
- heat treatment at L000 ° C or more in oxidizing or inert atmosphere By using the heat treatment method of the present invention, the breakdown voltage of the oxide film can be greatly increased. Further, after this heat treatment, the main surface of the wafer is mirror-polished, whereby the yield i can be further improved. Therefore, when a device is formed, productivity can be significantly improved.
- the unheated wafer that has been ejected is usually first subjected to a heat treatment at about 650 ° C. for erasing thermal donors.
- the treatment is also necessary because it also has the function of eliminating thermal damage.
- the present invention is intended to reduce defects in semiconductor silicon wafers used in semiconductor manufacturing, and in particular, to reduce the scrutiny and contamination of the wafer surface called SPD (Surface Particle and Defect). Applies to wafer processing technology.

Abstract
Une plaquette de silicium destinée aux semi-conducteurs présente une concentration en oxygène de 1x10?17 à 2x1018¿ atomes/cm3 et une concentration en carbone de 1x1016 atomes/cm3. Dans une atmosphère oxydante ou inerte, on la porte à 1000 à 1300 °C pendant 30 minutes à 5 heures. En plus, on peut éventuellement polir comme un miroir la surface principale de cette plaquette une fois qu'elle a subi ce traitement thermique. La présente invention vise à limiter le nombre de défauts présents dans les plaquettes à semi-conducteurs et à améliorer le rendement de leur fabrication.
