Definitions
- the invention relates to an electrochemical etching system, in particular a CMOS-compatible etching system for etching silicon wafers, and a method for etching an etching body according to the type of the independent claims.
- Electrochemical etching systems for example for the production of porous silicon or for the surface porosification of silicon, usually consist of a 2-chamber system, between which a silicon wafer to be etched is clamped as a partition and the two chambers are electrically coupled or connected to one another only by the afer . Furthermore, electrodes for power supply are usually attached in both chambers, which usually consist of platinum.
- Such an etching system is detailed, for example, and its essential details have already been described by Fujiyama et al. in US 5,458,755.
- CMOS Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor
- the electrochemical etching system according to the invention for etching an etching body and the one carried out with it has the advantage over the prior art that it enables contamination-free electrochemical etching of an etching body, said etching body at least superficially being etched
- Etching method with such an etching cell is very advantageously used at least one of these electrodes at least with its side facing the etching body as a sacrificial electrode.
- Electrode which are connected as a cathode or anode and are electrically connected to the etching body via a suitable electrolyte, is the same material as the etching material of the etching body to be etched. It is enough it is when the etching body has, at least on the surface, the etching material to be etched or consists of this on the surface and when the first and / or second electrode has at least a surface of a corresponding electrode material or consists of this on the surface.
- the etching material of the etching body is at least weakly electrically conductive, silicon preferably being used as the etching material or a silicon wafer being used as the etching body. It is also advantageous if the first electrode material and the second electrode material of the first and second electrodes are a CMOS-compatible material and in particular not an element selected from the group consisting of platinum, gold, iridium, rhodium, palladium, silver or copper.
- the etching system according to the invention is thus particularly suitable for the production of porous silicon on a silicon wafer, contamination of the wafer with non-silicon substances such as platinum or palladium being prevented, for example, by using silicon electrodes.
- CMOS-compatible material is understood in accordance with the general usage in semiconductor technology to mean a material that does not adversely affect the electrical properties of a circuit generated thereby.
- a material contaminating the etching body is to be understood in particular as a CMOS poison or a material which forms deep impurities in the etching body when it is embedded, i.e. impurities whose energy levels lie in the middle of the gap between the conduction band and the valence band of the material to be etched, and the with it cause a high transition matrix element for the recombination of electrons and holes in the etching body (“recombination seed”).
- Electrodes are particularly advantageous compounds from the group of the at least weakly conductive compounds of the elements silicon, carbon, nitrogen, oxygen, titanium, aluminum, boron, antimony, tungsten, cobalt, tellurium, germanium, molybdenum, gallium, arsenic and selenium, in particular SiC , SiN, TiN, TiC, MoSi 2 and GaAs, in question, as well as pure electrode materials made of the elements silicon, titanium, tungsten, molybdenum and carbon, in particular graphite.
- the materials generally used as contact materials in semiconductor technology are also suitable as electrode materials, since these do not diffuse deeply into the etching body when it strikes the etching body and thus during the etching, but rather on the surface, for example with the formation of suicides, with the
- Etching bodies react or are bound locally and thus remain limited to the surface of the etching body. In this sense, they do not contaminate the etching body and do not impair its electronic properties, in particular with regard to its use in one or its compatibility with a CMOS-compatible production line.
- the first electrode and / or the second electrode and / or the etching body are also advantageously flat, in particular in the form of wafers, the electrodes for use as sacrificial electrodes also being very advantageously much thicker than the actual etching body, so that they can be processed, freed of contamination and reused if necessary. This advantageously extends the exchange cycles of the electrodes.
- the electrochemical etching cell is advantageously constructed in such a way that a first chamber and a second chamber are provided, each of which is at least partially filled with an electrolyte and which are spatially separated from one another by a separating device.
- Each of the two chambers is connected to an electrode in an electrically conductive manner via an electrolyte, the
- Etching body at least in some areas, the separating device and very advantageously at the same time the only, at least weakly conductive electrical connection between the two chambers and the electrodes connected as cathode or anode.
- the electrochemical etching cell has, in addition to the two chambers already mentioned, a further third chamber or a further third chamber and a further fourth chamber, each of which is at least partially filled with an electrolyte and each with a further one Separating device are spatially separated from the first chamber or second chamber.
- the electrolyte in the third or fourth chamber is very advantageously only electrically conductively connected to the second or first electrode, which in turn at least in regions acts as a separating device between the third or fourth chamber and the first and second chamber respectively.
- the surface of the first and / or the second electrode which is in particular flat, is only in contact with the electrolyte in contact with the etching body only with its surface facing the etching body, so that mixing of the electrolyte in the third or fourth chamber with the electrolyte in the first or second
- the side of the first and / or second electrode facing away from the electrolyte of the first or second chamber can be provided with a metallization or a doping on the surface at least in regions for easier electrical contacting of the electrodes or, for example, in the case of the electrode being constructed from several layers consist of a metal, which combines the advantage of a simple structural design of the etching cell with the targeted adaptation of the electrode material to the respective etching material without
- an additional bath electrode in particular a platinum or, immersed in an electrolyte located there
- Palladium electrode can be provided for simple electrical contacting of the first or second electrode via the respective electrolyte.
- the electrolytes in the individual chambers of the etching system according to the invention can advantageously also be different from one another, the first and second chambers in which the etching body is actually etched advantageously using hydrofluoric acid or a mixture of hydrofluoric acid and ethanol, and the third and fourth chambers are filled, for example, with dilute sulfuric acid as the contact electrolyte.
- the individual chambers can also very advantageously be filled separately with electrolyte and emptied separately, so that a problem-free exchange of, for example, a contaminated electrolyte in each chamber is possible at any time.
- This also enables a simple exchange of a used or contaminated first or second electrode serving as a sacrificial electrode at any time, quickly and easily.
- first and / or second electrode is advantageously contacted electrically via the electrolyte filled in the third or fourth chamber with a bath electrode located there, and is thus connected to an external voltage supply which impresses a current to the etching system during operation.
- the first and / or the second electrode very advantageously allows the suitability of different electrode materials, such as graphite, for the etching of an etching body to be examined in a simple manner and the electrode materials to be optimized for the respective material of the etching body.
- a tunnel made of non-conductive material in particular polypropylene, can advantageously be provided in a manner known per se.
