Definitions
- the present invention provides a sufficient getter site for the wafer to have sufficient gettering ability. It relates to an epitaxy wafer with BMD (Bulk Micro Defect) formed inside the wafer and its manufacturing method.
- BMD Bit Micro Defect
- a silicon single crystal wafer mainly grown by the CZ method is used as a wafer for fabricating devices such as semiconductor integrated circuits. Eliminating the defect near the surface of this silicon single crystal wafer as much as possible improves the quality of the device, but one of the most effective methods is epitaxy wafer, and its superiority is almost proven. .
- the formation of high-density defects (BMD) in the bulk of the wafer is advantageous for device fabrication. This is because during the device formation heat treatment, there is a great deal of opportunity to be exposed to heavy metal impurity contamination, which can adversely affect device operation, making it necessary to remove them from near the surface where the device is formed. For a while it is.
- the gettering technique is a method that meets the demand. In this gettering technique, a BMD may be formed as a gettering site in the bulk portion of the wafer.
- the silicon single crystal produced by the Czochralski (CZ) method inevitably contains oxygen in the production stage, but its oxygen concentration can be controlled, and CZ-silicon with various oxygen concentrations can be used. Eha is manufactured for the purpose. When these oxygen atoms are subjected to heat treatment, oxygen precipitates are formed inside the wafer. This is the main component of BMD. There is little crystal lattice distortion around these BMDs. Heavy metal impurities are captured by this strain. This is a method called IG (Internal Gettering) among various gettering technologies.
- IG Internal Gettering
- the simplest method is to form the BMD simultaneously during the heat treatment for device formation. This is effective when the device formation heat treatment is at a high temperature, but cannot be effective at a low temperature of 100 ° C. or less. In particular, in recent years, the temperature of device processes has been reduced, and the formation of BMDs cannot be expected. If a strong gettering capability is required even in such a low-temperature process, there is a method of forming a BMD before the device process is introduced. This is called DZ (Denuded Zone)-IG. Oxygen atoms near the surface are diffused outward by high-temperature heat treatment and released outside the wafer. This is a method to obtain the BMD density according to the purpose. However, the heat treatment is complicated and takes a long time, and the cost is very high.
- An epitaxial wafer using a nitrogen-added wafer as a substrate can simultaneously achieve both the gettering ability of the nitrogen-added wafer and excellent surface quality. This was considered to have higher gettering ability because it contained BMD from the beginning, compared to the conventional epitaxy. In fact, the wafer after the device formation heat treatment was characterized by having sufficient gettering capability for the BMD to grow further.
- the present invention has been made in view of such a problem, and an object of the present invention is to obtain an epitaxy wafer having a high gettering ability without depending on a device process to be performed later on the wafer.

Furthermore, since the epitaxy layer is formed on the surface of the wafer, the surface quality of the wafer becomes good.
- the oxygen precipitate has a radius of 30 to 40 nm (assuming a spherical shape), which is a size that can be detected by the current optical measurement device, it has gettering ability without fail. Even if the size is smaller than that, if the radius is 10 nm or more, it has been confirmed by observation with a transmission electron microscope (TEM) that has gettering ability.
- TEM transmission electron microscope
- the present invention provides a method for producing a silicon single crystal silicon wafer by pulling up a silicon single crystal to which nitrogen is added by the Czochralski method, processing the silicon single crystal into silicon wafer, and heat-treating the silicon single crystal silicon wafer.

- the oxygen precipitation nucleation is promoted by the addition of nitrogen, but the oxygen precipitation process is divided into two stages: precipitation nucleation and growth.
- the optimum temperature and time depend on the initial oxygen concentration, the added nitrogen concentration, and the like, and need to be optimized to determine heat treatment conditions. Therefore, in order to obtain the effect of the present invention, the first heat treatment is performed at 600 ° C. to 100 ° C. for 0.5 to 8 hours, and at 800 ° C.
- the heat treatment consisting of the second heat treatment in the range of 0 hours to 10 hours at PC version 2/08437
- BMD of required size of 10 nm or more, which exerts the tarring ability, can be formed with required density.

- the present inventor has proposed that an as-grown nitrogen-doped silicon single crystal wafer formed by processing a silicon single crystal to which nitrogen is added as it is, or an epitaxy wafer having only an epitaxial layer grown thereon.
- the BMD in the bulk was examined in detail using a scanning electron microscope. As a result, although certainly density of detected B MD is located about 1 0 a number / c m 3, the size of the BMD was found to be mostly well below the radius 1 0 nm.
- high temperature and long like DZ-IG A similar study was conducted on a wafer that had been subjected to heat treatment for a long time and had the required gettering ability.
- the BMD size exceeded a radius of 10 nm even at the same BMD density. It has been found that most exceed a radius of 30 to 40 nm, which can be detected by an optical measuring device.
- the size of the BMD needs to be at least 10 nm or more, preferably 30 nm or more. It is expected that by setting the thickness to 10 nm or more, it is possible to provide a wafer exhibiting gettering ability without depending on the subsequent device process.
- the present inventor has performed a heat treatment on a silicon single crystal wafer to which nitrogen has been added before performing epitaxial growth to grow the BMD size and increase the BMD density of a size having actually gettering ability. I came up with that.
- the heat treatment in this case is different from the heat treatment performed by DZ-IG described above. Since nitrogen is added to the wafer, the required BMD can be formed by a relatively simple and short heat treatment.
- the present invention has been completed as a result of studying the dictation conditions based on such a basic idea.
- a seed crystal is brought into contact with a melt of a polycrystalline silicon raw material contained in a quartz crucible, and is slowly pulled up while rotating to grow a silicon single crystal rod having a desired diameter.
- This method is based on the method of putting nitride in a quartz crucible in advance, introducing nitride into a silicon melt, or setting the atmosphere gas to an atmosphere containing nitrogen, etc. Nitrogen can be doped. At this time, the doping amount in the crystal can be controlled by adjusting the amount of the nitride, the concentration of the nitrogen gas, the introduction time, and the like.
- the nitrogen concentration is 1 X 1 0 1 3 ⁇ : it is preferable to LXI 0 1 4 pieces / cm 3. This is because if the nitrogen concentration is 1 ⁇ 10 13 cm 3 or more, oxygen precipitate nuclei are surely formed in the as-grown state, so that the density of oxygen precipitates having a gettering ability after heat treatment is reduced.
- Epitakishi Yaruueha 1 XI 0 8 pieces Z cm 3 or more and consisting Epitakishi Yaruueha can be more reliably fabricated and, if the nitrogen concentration is 1 XI 0 1 4 / cm 3 or less, E due to a substrate silicon Konueha This is because epi-crystal defects such as stacking faults (SF) formed in the epitaxial layer are significantly suppressed.
- SF stacking faults
