Definitions
- the invention relates to an aqueous cleaning solution for a semiconductor substrate, which consists of an organic or inorganic base, hydrogen peroxide and a complexing agent.
- Chemical wafer cleaning is usually necessary several times in the manufacturing process of integrated circuits. It usually takes place after a resist mask has been removed (stripped) and, if possible, immediately before a layer is applied.
- the semiconductor wafers are either immersed in suitable chemical baths, often under the influence of ultrasound, or the cleaning liquid is sprayed onto the wafers in a so-called cleaner.
- a frequently used method is the so-called RCA cleaning (RCA review, page 187-206, June 1970), which consists of two separate cleaning steps:
- the RCA-1 or SC-1 Standard Clean 1
- the wafer to be cleaned is placed in an alkaline cleaning solution consisting of one part ammonia, one part hydrogen peroxide and five parts water, at a temperature of approx. 70 ° C dipped and then treated with an ultrapure water rinse to remove particles and organic contamination from the wafer surface.
- RCA-2 or SC-2 Standard Clean 2.
- the wafer to be cleaned is immersed in an acidic cleaning solution consisting of one part HCl, one part hydrogen peroxide and six parts water at a temperature of approx. 70 ° C.
- an acidic cleaning solution consisting of one part HCl, one part hydrogen peroxide and six parts water at a temperature of approx. 70 ° C.
- ultrapure water rinsing in order to remove the metal contamination, which originates from the SC-1, among other things.
- the wafer surfaces are contaminated with Fe, Al, Ca, Mg, Zn, Cu ions or other metallic ions. This metal contamination comes from the process steps that occur immediately before
- a cleaning solution is also known from EP-A-0276774, in which five phosphorus compounds are proposed as complexing agents. This approach has also proven to be less effective in practice.
- EP-A-0496605 discloses a method for cleaning semiconductor substrate surfaces, in which compounds are proposed as complexing agents which contain phosphonic acid groups or their salts. In practice, these phosphonic acid compounds prove to be very effective against contamination with iron ions, which usually pose major problems. On the other hand, however, the phosphonic acid compounds proposed in EP-A-0496605 have no complexing effect with regard to copper and zinc contamination.
- the object of the present invention is therefore to provide a new cleaning solution with which a considerable cost saving and a substantially increased efficiency compared to the known cleaning solutions is possible.
- an aqueous cleaning solution of the type mentioned which thereby is characterized in that a crown ether of the formula as a complexing agent
- R is hydrogen and / or two nitrogen atoms bridging aliphatic chains and / or identical or different functional groups
- aqueous cleaning solutions for semiconductor substrates result in cost savings, since the cleaning steps are reduced, since in principle only the SC-1 cleaning takes place instead of the RCA sequence SC-1 and then SC-2. Furthermore, the service life of the cleaning baths can be significantly increased and cleaning can be carried out at a temperature of ⁇ 50 ° C.
- cryptants are used in which carboxylic acid groups, (poly) methylene sulfonic acid groups, (poly) methylene sulfinic acid groups or (poly) ethylene sulfenoic acid groups or their salts are provided as functional groups.
- methylenephosphonic or polymethylenephosphonic acid groups or their salts are provided as functional groups on the cryptants.
- the use of methylenephosphonic acid or polymethylenephosphonic acid groups has proven to be particularly advantageous since they can be used to remove iron contaminations with maximum efficiency.
- the concentration of the complex-forming cleaning solutions according to the invention can be between 0.01 and 1000 ppm.
- Ammonia or a quaternary ammonium hydroxide such as, for example, tetramethylene ammonium hydroxide (TMAH) or choline is preferably provided as the organic or inorganic base, the concentration of the base in the cleaning solution according to the invention being from 0.01 to 20% by weight.
- TMAH tetramethylene ammonium hydroxide
- the cleaning solutions according to the invention preferably contain 0.01 to 30% by weight of hydrogen peroxide.
- one or more different complexing agents should be used in a cleaning solution for cleaning silicon wafers.
- Ammonia, hydrogen peroxide and water in a ratio of 0.25: 1: 5 to 1: 1: 5.
- the complexing agents can optionally be used directly in the cleaning solutions. However, it is also conceivable to use them in monomeric or polymeric form with suitable carrier materials in cleaning columns for the continuous recycling of the cleaning solutions in semiconductor production or in our own recycling system.
- a freshly prepared, diluted SC-1 solution (1: 4: 20) is used as the cleaning solution, which is prepared as follows: In a quartz basin, the water portion (20 parts by volume) is heated to 75 ° C, then the addition of Hydrogen peroxide (31%, 1 ng / g quality, 4 parts by volume), followed by the addition of the ammonia solution (28%, 1 ng / g quality, 1 part by volume). After each addition, the solution is mixed. At the end of mixing, it reaches a temperature of approx. 70 ° C. If necessary (see below), an aqueous element standard solution of Al, Ca, Fe, Ni, Cu and Zn is added to this solution in such an amount that an addition of 1 ng / g per metal ion takes place in the cleaning bath. Depending on the experiment, a solution of a complexing agent according to the invention is subsequently or instead added in such an amount that its concentration in the cleaning bath reaches 1 ⁇ g / g.
- At least two 150 mm silicon wafers (100) are immersed in the solution for 10 minutes.
- the wafers had previously undergone uniform pre-cleaning. After the test, they are rinsed with ultrapure water in an overflow basin at 20 ° C for 10 minutes and spun dry.
- the effect of the complexing agent according to the invention reduces the contamination by Fe, Ni, Cu and Zn on the wafers (see comparative example 1).
- Wafer surface cleaning solution (1010 atoms D ⁇ O cm2)
- DTTP Diethylenetriaminepenta (methylenephosphonic) acid
- TETA 1,4,8, 11-tetraazacyclotetradecane- N, N ', N ", N” (tetraecetic) acid
- the metal ions were added to the DIW (75 ° C) before adding TETA (300 ⁇ g / g), DTTP (4 ⁇ g / g), H202 and NH40H.
- EDTA ethylenediaminetetraacetate
- Table 8 Metal contamination on the wafer surface after SC-1 cleaning (1: 4: 20, 70 ° C) with and without addition of lng / g of AI, Ca, Fe, Ni, Cu, Zn and with and without complexing agent DTTP ( 4 ⁇ g / g)
