Definitions
- the present invention relates to a silicon pen as a material of a semiconductor device and a method of manufacturing the same, and a method of growing a silicon single crystal as a material of a silicon wafer.
- a typical method for producing silicon single crystal, which is a material of silicon, is a rotary pulling method called CZ method.
- CZ method a rotary pulling method
- a seed crystal is immersed in a silicon melt formed in a quartz crucible, and the seed crystal is pulled up while rotating the crucible and the seed crystal.
- a silicon single crystal is grown below. It is known that silicon single crystals produced in this manner have various types of green-in defects that are problematic in the device formation process.
- Two typical Gr-in defects are dislocation clusters generated in the interstitial silicon dominant region, and COPs or voids generated in the vacancy dominant region. Become. Furthermore, there are vacancy type and interstitial silicon type green defect free regions.
- a typical defect distribution in the crystal diameter direction will be described with reference to FIG.
- a ring OSF generation region exists in a ring shape at an intermediate position in the crystal diameter direction.
- the inside of the ring 0 SF generation area is a COP or void generation area via the defect-free area.
- the outside of the ring OSF generation area is acid
- the region is a dislocation cluster generation region through the elemental precipitation promotion region and the oxygen precipitation suppression region.
- the oxygen precipitation accelerating region is a vacancy type grow-in defect free region
- the oxygen precipitation suppression region is an interstitial silicon type grow-in defect free region.
- Figure 2 shows the defect distribution on the longitudinal section of a single crystal grown while gradually lowering the bow I raising speed.
- the ring OSF generation region is located at the outer periphery of the crystal. Therefore, wafers collected from single crystals grown under high-speed pulling conditions generate COP almost entirely in the crystal diameter direction.
- the ring 0 S F generation region gradually moves to the center of the crystal as the bow I raising speed decreases, and eventually disappears at the center of the crystal. Therefore, e-ha, collected from a single crystal grown under low-speed pulling conditions, generates dislocation classes in almost the entire crystal diameter direction.
- the cross-section of the crystal in FIG. 1 corresponds to the cross-section at the position A in FIG.
- Both dislocation clusters and COP are harmful grown-in defects that degrade the device characteristics, but the harmfulness of COP is smaller and there is a demand for productivity.
- the growth was performed under the high-speed pulling conditions where the ⁇ ⁇ SF generation region as shown at the position D or higher was located at the outer peripheral portion of the crystal or was excluded outside the crystal.
- dislocation clusters and COP do not occur in the defect-free region inside the ring OSF generation region, but also in the ring OSF generation region itself, and also in the oxygen precipitation promotion region and the oxygen precipitation suppression region outside the ring OSF generation region. Does not occur. In other words, these four regions are Grown-in defect-free regions.
- the temperature gradient Gc at the center and the temperature gradient Ge at the outer periphery will be It can be the same or larger. Then, the shape of the SF generation region in the longitudinal section of the single crystal grown while gradually lowering the pulling speed, as shown in Fig.
- this pulling speed condition is in the range of B-C.
- the pull-up speed range (magine: range of B-C in Fig. 3) for freeing Grown-in defects is narrow, making it difficult to grow Grown-in defects free crystals stably.
- the crystal diameter increases to 200 mm and 300 mm, it becomes more difficult to satisfy the relationship of Ge ⁇ Gc, and the pulling speed range B-C for defect free tends to become narrower. There was a need for a technology to break through this.
- SOI substrates can increase the speed and reduce the power consumption of semiconductor devices, and demand for them is expected to increase in the future.
- the SOI substrate can be manufactured by laminating a wafer with an oxide film and a normal wafer, or by oxidizing at a high temperature of 1300 ° C or more after implanting oxygen ions.
- the main method is a SIM 0X (Separation by Implanted Oxygen) method in which a buried oxide film layer (BOX: Barried Oide Layer) is formed.
- MOSFET Metal Oxide Semiconductor Field Effect Transistor
- SOI substrates are expected as high-performance semiconductor substrates for next-generation MOS-LSI.
- the production process is more complicated and the cost is higher than that of the ordinary euca, so there is a strong demand for cost reduction.
- the SI MOX substrate must be essentially COP-free.
- oxygen ions when oxygen ions are implanted into a substrate containing COP, oxygen ions are scattered because the COP portion is hollow, or when implanted deeper than in the normal portion, so that SI MOX annealing is performed. Abnormalities occur in the buried oxide film layer (B OX).
- the substrate for the SI MOX uses a silicon wafer whose surface layer is made COP-free by epi growth or high-temperature treatment in an atmosphere of hydrogen or argon. There was a problem that the cost was high because additional processes such as anneal processing were required.
- a bonded SOI substrate if COP is present on the substrate located on the active layer side, when a thin film bonded SOI with an active layer of 0.1 or less is manufactured, a portion including the COP is required.
- the active layer becomes thinner and becomes a pinhole that partially or completely penetrates to the BOX layer. Failures such as so-called HF defects will occur. Therefore, it is necessary to use a wafer without COP as the substrate on the active layer side.
- a thick-film bonded SOI having an active layer of 0.1 / m or more if COP is contained in the active layer, the oxide film breakdown voltage characteristics and the element insulation isolation become poor, so that there is no C0P. It is desirable to use No. 18 as the substrate on the active layer side.
- Grown-in defect-free crystals are originally free of COP, so if they are used for SOI substrates, additional processes such as epi growth and high-temperature annealing are not required. It is promising as an SOI substrate that requires low cost.
- the growth rate of the Grown-in defect free crystal is slower than that of a normal CZ crystal, and the pulling speed range (margin) for freeing the Grown-in defect is free. , The production yield was low, and it was difficult to reduce the cost of crystal production.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a method for growing a silicon single crystal capable of stably growing a grown-in defect free crystal with good productivity for use as a mirror-polished wafer or SOI. is there.
- Another object of the present invention is to provide a high-quality, low-cost mirror-polished silicon wafer or S0I wafer manufactured by such a silicon single crystal growing method and a method for manufacturing the same. . Disclosure of the invention
- the bow I raising speed is gradually increased.
- the 0 SF generation region in the vertical section is made U-shaped. If a small amount of hydrogen gas is mixed into the inert gas introduced into the pulling furnace, the crystal crosses. As shown in Fig. 4, the defect distribution on the surface shows that the pull-up speed range B'-C 'for defect free is smaller in the crystal axis direction than B-C in Fig. 3 when hydrogen is not doped. Expanding.
- the expansion of the pulling speed range is realized by increasing the critical speed V 0 at which the ring OSF generation region disappears at the center of the crystal and decreasing the critical speed V d at which dislocation clusters are generated.
- the pulling speed range B'-C for defect-free is higher on the high-speed side, that is, on the upper side in FIG. 3, and lower on the low-speed side than on B--C in FIG. Expands below. This phenomenon is described with reference to FIG.
- Figure 5 shows the effect of defect distribution on the relationship between the pulling speed and the 0 S F ring diameter.
- the broken line indicates that the temperature gradient G c at the center of the crystal is smaller than the temperature gradient G e at the outer periphery of the crystal, that is, ⁇ SF generation in the longitudinal section of the single crystal grown while gradually lowering the pulling rate
- the shape of the region is a V-shape that is convex downward.
- the OSF ring diameter gradually decreases as the pulling speed decreases, and converges to 0 at the critical speed Vo.
- the solid line indicates the case where the temperature gradient G c at the center of the crystal is equal to or greater than the temperature gradient G e at the outer periphery of the crystal, that is, the single crystal grown while gradually lowering the bow I raising speed.
- Shape of the 0 SF generation region in the longitudinal section of the crystal This is a case where the shape is u-shaped and hydrogen is non-doped. In this case, the pulling speed at which the OSF ring diameter starts to shrink decreases, and the OSF ring shrinks more rapidly than the starting speed, and converges to 0 at the critical speed V 0 which is almost the same as the case of the broken line. That is, while the critical speed Vo is kept constant, the decreasing gradient of the ring diameter becomes steep.
- the solid line (thick line) indicates that the temperature gradient G c at the center of the crystal is equal to or greater than the temperature gradient Ge at the outer periphery of the crystal, that is, the crystal is grown while the pulling rate is gradually reduced.
- the shape of the 0 SF generation region in the vertical cross section of the single crystal is a U-shape and a case where a hydrogen dove is used.
- the critical velocity increases from Vo to Vo 'while the decreasing gradient of the ring diameter remains steep as compared with the solid line (thin line).
- the solid line (thick line) moves parallel to the high-speed side in the solid line (thick line).
- the critical speed at which the ring 0 SF region disappears at the center of the crystal is increased, and as a result, the crystal diameter in the as-grown direction is increased.
- Gr 0 wn-in defect-free single crystals, in which dislocation clusters and COP do not exist in the whole area can be grown by pulling faster than before.
- the lowering of the pulling rate Vd at which dislocation clusters occur due to the hydrogen doping reduces to Vd ', and the pulling rate range for defect freeing expands from B-C to B'-C.
- Defective crystals can be stably grown, and the production yield of grown-in defect-free crystals is significantly improved.
- the reason why the combination of hydrogen doping increases the pulling speed range for defect free that is, the reason why the critical speed Vo of the ring OSF increases and the critical speed Vd at which dislocation clusters occur decreases, is as follows. like Conceivable.
- the excess vacancy or interstitial silicon in the silicon crystal reacts with hydrogen to form a complex such as vacancy-hydrogen or interstitial silicon-hydrogen.
- the concentration of holes and interstitial silicon will decrease. For this reason, aggregation of vacancy-interstitial silicon is suppressed, and CZ crystals without COP and dislocation clusters or having small size can be grown.
- interstitial silicon-type hydrogen defects can be formed under sufficiently small intergranular silicon predominant conditions (Reference 4: Y. Sugit: Jpn. J. Appl. Phys 4 (1965) p962).
- the pulling speed by the CZ method in an atmosphere containing sufficient hydrogen is sufficient.
- the generation of COP can be suppressed, but it cannot be used as a wafer for semiconductors due to the formation of huge cavities.
- the generation of dislocation clusters is suppressed, but the generation of dislocation pairs makes them unusable as semiconductor devices.
- Figure 6 shows the vacancy and interstitial silicon concentrations Cv and C i, the pulling rate V, and the crystal side near the solid-liquid interface at a temperature of 110 ° C or higher at the center of the crystal during CZ crystal growth. This is a relationship between the temperature gradient G and the ratio V / G, and shows the effect of suppressing generation of C 0 P and dislocation clusters when hydrogen is present in the crystal. The reason why the generation of COPs and dislocation clusters is suppressed is explained using this figure.
- Vo, Vc, and Vd are the critical velocities at which the ring OSF region, COP, and dislocation class begin to form at the center of the crystal or a part of the radial direction, respectively, and Cv—OSF, Cv—COP, and C i— D is 1 indicates the critical point defect concentration generated by the OSF ring region, COP, and dislocation class, respectively.
- the pulling speed Vo for the generation of the OSF ring shifts to a higher speed like Vo 'and Vo ", and the pulling speed Vc for the generation of COP also becomes faster as Vc'. Will shift to the side.
- free interstitial silicon is formed because interstitial silicon and hydrogen form a complex. Concentration decreases. Therefore, the pulling speed Vd for generating dislocation clusters shifts to Vd 'or Vd "on the lower speed side so as to coincide with the critical concentration Ci-dis1.
- the concentration of vacancies and interstitial silicon is sufficiently low. No dislocation clusters are generated, and no vacancy-type hydrogen defects as giant cavities or interstitial silicon-type hydrogen defects as dislocation pairs are generated.
- the range (margin) of the pulling speed at which G r 0 wn-in defects are free is significantly increased as compared with the case where hydrogen is not doped, the defect-free crystal can be grown more stably at a high yield. Can be.
- V / G is larger than the critical V / G
- the ring 0 SF does not close at the center of the crystal and C 0 F is generated in its inner region, but its size is reduced due to a decrease in the vacancy concentration due to hydrogen doping. In this case, too, the vacancy concentration is sufficiently low so that no giant cavities are generated.
- the silicon wafer is a silicon single crystal grown by the CZ method in an inert atmosphere containing hydrogen, and has an amorphous state.
- the silicon wafer in the state where it is not subjected to the as-pulled heat treatment, it is a complete grown-in defect free wafer that does not contain COP in the entire area in the crystal diameter direction in the entire area in the thickness direction of the wafer, or a COP of 0.1 m or less in size Is quasi-Grown-in defect-free at least in the-part of the crystal diameter direction.
- any Gr 0 wn- in defect free wafer does not include dislocation clusters in the entire crystal thickness direction in the entire thickness direction in the as-grown state.
