These ranges vary the composition of the cleaning solution mainly by the mixing ratio of NMP and 2-butoxyethanol. This was the range in which CF-based by-products were successfully dissolved in the experiments performed. Experiments were also carried out when the cleaning solution did not contain NMP and did not contain 2-butoxyethanol, but the dissolution rate of CF by-products was lower than when NMP and 2-butoxyethanol were mixed. Was something.
- Surfactants play a role in facilitating the penetration of dirt by reducing the surface tension of the diluent. Surfactants should reduce the surface tension of NMP and 2-butoxyethanol. In this regard, the surface tension was measured for the case where the silicon-containing surfactant SS and the case where the fluorine-containing surfactant SF were added to NMP.

- the content of the surfactant in the washing solution is desirably set to 0.1 to 1.0% by weight. As shown in FIG. 2, if the surfactant content is 0.1% by weight or more, the effect of reducing the surface tension of the cleaning solution can be obtained, and even if the surfactant is further added, the surface tension is significantly reduced. do not do. Conversely, if the content of the surfactant exceeds 1% by weight, a spot-like “silk” is formed on the substrate to be cleaned after cleaning. Will remain. Also, since surfactants are expensive, it is desirable to keep the surfactant content low in order to reduce the cost of the cleaning solution.
- the cleaning liquid further comprises water.
- the water content in the washing solution is desirably 5 to 20% by weight. Set to / 0 .
- Both NMP and 2-butoxyethanol have a flash point, but by mixing water, the flash point of the cleaning solution can be eliminated. As a result, the cleaning liquid becomes a “non-dangerous substance”, and storage management becomes easy. If the water content is less than 5% by weight, a flash point remains in the cleaning solution, and if it exceeds 20% by weight, the dissolution rate of CF by-products decreases.
- water in the cleaning liquid also has an effect of taking in inorganic salts such as alkali metals that become impurities to the substrate to be processed. It is desirable to use purified water from which inorganic salts have been removed. As shown in Table 1 below, purified water contains less inorganic salts than pure water.

- these members can be independently removed from the processing chamber 102 and can be replaced with new corresponding parts.
- the wafer W is placed on the susceptor 106, and then the wafer W is fixed by the clamp ring 112.
- a mixed gas of CF 4 and Ar is introduced into the processing space 104 through the gas discharge hole 118 a, and the processing space 1
- the inside of 04 is evacuated to maintain a predetermined reduced pressure atmosphere.
- the processing gas introduced into the processing space 104 is dissociated to generate plasma.
- the SiO 2 film on the wafer W is etched by the plasma.
- the wafer W is taken out of the processing chamber 102 and transferred to the next processing apparatus. During this etching treatment, a reaction by-product is generated in the processing space 104, and the by-product adheres to various parts (members) arranged in the processing space 104.
- the CF-based by-product is formed by the baffle plate 110 and the clamp. It adheres and accumulates on parts such as ring 1 1 2, focus ring 1 1 4, peripheral ring 1 2 0, and wall protection 1 2 2. The deposition amount of CF by-products on these parts increases in proportion to the processing time.
- parts such as the notch plate 110, the clamp ring 112, the focus ring 114, the peripheral ring 120, the wall protection member 122, etc. are used for a predetermined period of time, Replace with
- the inside of the processing chamber 102 is replaced with an inert gas, and the parts that need to be replaced are replaced.
- a chemical cleaning step is performed by immersing the component in a cleaning liquid bath 12 having the above-described composition according to the present invention for a predetermined time, for example, 7 hours.
- focusing 114 is shown as a part to which the deposit composed of the CF-based by-product adhered.
- the temperature of the cleaning solution is maintained at 20 ° C to 80 ° C, preferably at 50 ° C to 80 ° C.
- the cleaning liquid penetrates the CF by-product adhering to the part 114 and dissolves it at a low speed while swelling it, thereby separating the CF by-product from the part 114.
- fine CF by-products that tend to adhere and remain on parts in the chemical cleaning process are dissolved by the cleaning liquid.
- the part 114 was placed in a basket 14 having a mesh of 500 to 100 mesh, and was placed in a cleaning liquid bath 12. Soak in Then, the CF by-product separated from the part 114 is removed together with the part 114 when the part 114 is removed from the bath 12.
- perfluorocarbon and acetone used as conventional cleaning solutions do not dissolve CF-based by-products
- the cleaning solution according to the present invention uses CF-based by-products. It is required by dissolving the substance. That is, if the CF-based by-products separated from the parts 114 are left in the bath 12 of the cleaning liquid, they gradually dissolve in the bath 12 and change the composition of the cleaning liquid. In this case, it is necessary to frequently replace the washing solution bath 12 with a new one.
- the parts 114 subjected to the chemical cleaning step are immersed in purified water to perform a water cleaning step. This makes it possible to reliably remove contaminants attached to the components 114 in the chemical cleaning process. Then, after drying the parts 1 1 4, the existing When it becomes necessary to replace the 1 ⁇ -compatible parts, mount the parts 114 again in the processing room 102 and use them.
- the parts to be cleaned consist of A1 whose surface is coated with A12O3, and are generally used for an etching device 100 as shown in Fig. 1 for a specified time during which replacement is required. It was assumed that it was used in the processing room 102.
- Cleaning solution of the embodiment according to the present invention NMP 7 5 wt%, 2 -.. Butoxyethanol 1 5 wt 0/0, surfactant 0 5 wt 0/0, water 9 5 wt. / 0 of a composition, the temperature of the bath 1 2 cleaning solution 5 0 ° C, components immersion time was 7 hours.
- the cleaning liquid of the comparative example according to the conventional method was acetone, the bath temperature of the cleaning liquid was 15 ° C, and the immersion time of the parts was 5 hours.
- Table 2 shows the change in the number of particles attached to the wafer when the components processed according to the embodiment of the present invention were mounted in the processing chamber 102 and subjected to the etching process.
- the wafer used was a 200 mm S ⁇ wafer, and the detected particles were at least 0.2 ⁇ m.
- the detection particle size is set to 0.2 / m or more for a 200 mm wafer, if the number of particles is 30 or less, it is considered that the standard is met. ing. That is, as shown in Table 2, according to the embodiment of the present invention, if only one dummy wafer is processed, processing of an actual wafer can be started: Table 2
- particles detected on the first wafer were subjected to 20-degree DX (Energy Dispersible X-ray spectroscopy) analysis in descending order of particle size.
- 20-degree DX Euclear Dispersible X-ray spectroscopy
- the washing solution was NMP 75% by weight, 2-butoxyethanol 15% by weight, and surfactant 0.5% by weight. /. And 9.5% by weight of water.
- the immersion time of the component on which the CF by-product was deposited in the cleaning liquid was set to 3 hours.
- Table 3 shows the results of measuring the dissolution rate of CF by-products when the temperature of the cleaning solution was set at 20 ° C, 50 ° C, and 70 ° C. As shown in Table 3, the higher the temperature of the cleaning solution, the higher the dissolution rate. Therefore, it is desirable to increase the temperature of the cleaning solution and improve the dissolution rate as the thickness of the CF-based by-product to be removed increases. However, if the temperature of the cleaning liquid is set too high, there is a problem that water evaporates and a flash point appears. From such a viewpoint, it is desirable to set the temperature of the cleaning solution to 50 to 80 ° C. Table 3
- NMP N-methyl-1-pyrrolidone
- 2-butoxyethanol ethyleneglycol / lemonobutylether
- NMP and 2-butoxyethanol do not contribute to global warming because they are easily decomposed in the atmosphere.
- NMP is inexpensive, the use of such a substance does not increase the cost of cleaning components of semiconductor processing equipment.
