Definitions
- the present invention relates to an environmental monitoring method and apparatus for identifying an environmental substance such as an organic pollutant present in the atmosphere or measuring the concentration thereof.
- Environmental monitoring for the purpose of identifying or measuring the concentration of environmental substances present in the atmosphere is required in various aspects.
- One example is an environmental monitor in a clean room where semiconductor devices are manufactured.
- various processes are performed on the surface of the semiconductor wafer according to the purpose of the process.
- the wafer surface is cleaned by a wet cleaning method using various chemicals or pure water, or a dry cleaning method using ultraviolet rays or plasma.
- a reforming process is performed. Since the clean surface of the wafer exposed during such a cleaning process is generally highly reactive with other molecules, silicon atoms on the surface may be bonded to hydrogen or exchanged with oxygen during or after the treatment. It changes over time when exposed to an environmental atmosphere in contact with the semiconductor wafer, such as when an oxide film is formed by bonding.
- semiconductor processes are generally performed in a clean room, and many processes are composed of many devices.However, when a process is moved from one process to the next, such as when a semiconductor device is taken out of the device, Exposure to outside air. At this time, the powder is not only oxidized by the oxygen in the air, but may also be contaminated with certain pollutants, for example, organic substances. They may also be contaminated with trace amounts of nitrogen oxides and sulfur oxides.
- One of the sources of organic pollution generated in clean rooms is said to be organic substances contained in air in clean rooms. This organic material is used in building materials used in clean rooms, air filters, wiring, piping, etc. It is believed that the organic substances contained are volatilized.
- monitoring the amount of environmental substances contained in the air in the clean room where the semiconductor device manufacturing process is performed to identify the source of environmental substances and control the amount of generated environmental substances will reduce the production yield of semiconductor devices. It is extremely important in improving the characteristics and properties.
- the conventional method of measuring environmental substances in the atmosphere is to absorb the environmental substances on tenax, which is a porous substance, and then heat them to release the adsorbed substances, which are then analyzed by a mass spectrometer.
- Identification 'Quantification method thermal desorption GC / MS: Gas Chromatography / Mass Spectroscopy
- the conventional measurement method described above usually takes several tens of hours to perform a measurement, and it has been difficult to feed back the measurement result to environmental management.
- the present inventors have developed an organic contamination detection method using 18-multiple internal reflection Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FTIR-ATR) to detect organic contaminants attached to the wafer surface with high sensitivity.
- FTIR-ATR 18-multiple internal reflection Fourier infrared spectroscopy
- the infrared light When infrared light is incident on one end of the A-Eight at a specific incident angle, the infrared light propagates inside the A-eha while repeating total reflection on both surfaces. At that time, the infrared light seeps out onto the substrate surface (evanescent light). However, part of the infrared spectrum is absorbed by organic contaminants attached to the surface.
- Spectroscopic analysis of the propagating light emitted from the other end of the screen by FT-IR makes it possible to detect and identify organic contaminants attached to the surface.
- This test method has the same sensitivity as GC / MS method, etc., has real-time measurement, and is simple and economical. Therefore, if multiple internal reflection Fourier infrared spectroscopy can be applied to environmental monitoring, it will be possible to perform high-sensitivity, real-time environmental monitoring. available.

- N L / dt anoint
- the length L of the infrared transmitting substrate depends on the material constituting the infrared transmitting substrate 10. 00/05471 Considering the absorption of infrared light and the fact that the environmental monitoring device is manufactured to a practical size, it is desirable to keep it at most within a few tens of cm. In order to increase the number of internal reflections, it is necessary to make the infrared transmitting substrate 10 thin as long as the strength is not impaired. In order to prevent light from being scattered during multiple internal reflection, it is necessary to use a substrate polished on both sides as the infrared transmitting substrate 10.
- the 8-inch silicon wafer has a thickness of 0.5 mm and a diameter of 20 mm, so that the internal reflection angle is 45 mm. In the case of °, 400 internal reflections can be obtained.

- the incident side end face has a triangular shape with an apex angle of 90 °, and the other is perpendicularly added.
- the substrate When the substrate is formed in this way, the infrared light incident on the substrate is reflected on the end surface opposite to the incident end surface side and returns to the incident end surface side again, so the number of reflections per unit length is Double. For this reason, the length of the substrate can be reduced to about half of the case of the basic configuration of the infrared transmitting substrate shown in FIG. 3, and the same sensitivity can be obtained.
- this substrate allows the infrared light to be incident and detected on the same side, and the two measurement modes of the long optical path length and the short optical path length should be slightly shifted in the infrared light incident position. It has the advantage that two measurement modes can be incident and detected with the same optical system.
