Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a silicon epitaxial wafer obtained by vapor-phase growth of a silicon epitaxial layer on a silicon single crystal substrate to which a relatively high concentration of boron (boron) is added.
- a silicon epitaxial wafer obtained by vapor-phase growth of a silicon epitaxial layer on a silicon single crystal substrate (hereinafter referred to as a P + CZ substrate), for example, has an element formation region for preventing latch-up. Widely used to eliminate defects.
- a large number of oxygen precipitation nuclei are formed on the p + CZ substrate while the crystal is solidified in the crystal pulling process and then cooled to room temperature.
- the size of oxygen precipitation nuclei is usually very small, less than lnm.
- Oxygen precipitation nuclei grow into oxygen precipitates when kept above the above nucleation temperature and below a certain critical temperature related to re-dissolution in the silicon single crystal butter.
- This oxygen precipitate is one of BMDs (Bulk Micro Defects), and it is a cause of defects such as reduced pressure and current leakage, so it is desirable that it is not formed as much as possible in the device formation region.
- the oxygen precipitate can be effectively used as a getter for heavy metal components in the device process. Therefore, silicon single crystals for growth are also used in silicon epitaxial wafers. In the substrate, oxygen precipitates are actively formed in a range where defects such as warpage do not occur. This gettering effect of heavy metals by oxygen precipitates is one of the so-called IG (Intrinsic Gettering) effects.
- IG Intrinsic Gettering
- silicon oxide is formed on the surface of a silicon epitaxial wafer. It is described that a film is formed.
- the formed unnecessary silicon oxide film can be removed by cleaning with hydrofluoric acid as is well known.
- hydrofluoric acid there is a problem that it increases after the particle level cleaning of the surface of the silicon epitaxial wafer.
- interposing hydrofluoric acid cleaning for removing the silicon oxide film after the low-temperature heat treatment leads to an increase in the number of processes, which in turn increases the manufacturing cost of the silicon epitaxial wafer.
- An object of the present invention is based on the premise that a heat treatment for forming oxygen precipitation nuclei is performed in an oxidizing atmosphere, and the final residual thickness of the silicon oxide film formed during the heat treatment is determined by hydrofluoric acid.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a silicon epitaxial wafer that can be kept at the level of a natural acid film without using cleaning, and that can suppress an increase in the number of partitions after cleaning.
- the silicon epitaxial wafer according to the present invention is manufactured by the CZ method and boron is doped so that the resistivity is 0.02 ⁇ 'cm or less.
- a low-temperature heat treatment step in which the treatment is performed for a time during which the thickness of the silicon oxide film formed on the silicon epitaxial layer after the heat treatment is 2 nm or less to form oxygen precipitation nuclei in the silicon single crystal substrate; ,
- Ammonia, hydrogen peroxide and water mixture Used to remove organic dirt and particles (adherent particles).
- Hydrogen chloride, hydrogen peroxide and water mixture Used to remove surface metal impurities.
- the present invention is of course smaller than the hydrofluoric acid cleaning liquid of (1) cleaning liquid power (2), which is a mixed liquid power of ammonia, hydrogen peroxide and water, but also has many etching effects on the silicon oxide film. Focusing on the fact that it has a small amount, it was made to overturn the above-mentioned common sense that “hydrofluoric acid is absolutely necessary for removal of the silicon oxide film”. That is, the increment of the silicon oxide film in the low-temperature heat treatment step in an oxidizing atmosphere is the same as the thickness that can be etched by the cleaning solution. Low-temperature heat treatment conditions for oxygen precipitation nucleation (temperature and time)
- the low-temperature heat treatment temperature is set within the range of 450 ° C or higher and 750 ° C or lower where the formation of oxygen precipitation nuclei in the p + CZ substrate becomes significant.
- the thickness of the oxide film formed on the silicon epitaxial layer is set to 2 nm or less. Then, following the low temperature heat treatment step under the above conditions, the silicon oxide film is etched with the cleaning liquid (1) as the first cleaning after the low temperature heat treatment step.
- the thickness of the silicon oxide film is increased by the low-temperature heat treatment step, but the heat treatment conditions are selected so that the thickness after the low-temperature heat treatment step is 2 nm or less. Then, by directly performing cleaning with the cleaning liquid (1), which is normally recognized for particle removal, the latent and limited etching ability of the cleaning liquid is effectively utilized to perform low-temperature heat treatment. The amount of increase in the silicon oxide film due to the process can be effectively reduced. As a result, the final residual thickness of the silicon oxide film formed during the heat treatment is determined without using hydrofluoric acid cleaning, assuming that heat treatment for forming oxygen precipitation nuclei is performed in an oxidizing atmosphere. Both can be kept at the level of natural acid film.
- the cleaning solution (1) has an inherently good particle removal effect, so it increases the power of the particles after cleaning! ] Can also be suppressed.
- it is sufficiently possible to reduce the number of particles on the silicon epitaxial layer after the cleaning process as compared with the number of particles before the cleaning process, and effectively reduce defects caused by the particles. it can.
- the thickness of the silicon oxide film after the cleaning process is naturally smaller than the thickness after the low-temperature heat treatment process due to the etching effect of the cleaning liquid.
- the cleaning activity by the ammonia is enhanced by the combination of hydrogen peroxide and hydrogen. Since hydrogen peroxide is a relatively strong oxidizing agent, Even when the oxide film is thin, it can be repaired to a thickness of 1 nm or more by the acid ability of hydrogen peroxide.
- the resistivity of the silicon single crystal substrate is higher than 0.02 ⁇ 'cm, the concentration of boron that promotes oxygen precipitation is too small, and the number of oxygen precipitation nuclei decreases. Therefore, it becomes impossible to secure the density of formation of oxygen precipitates.
- a silicon single crystal substrate is used. It is important to set the resistivity to less than 0.02 ⁇ 'cm. From this viewpoint, it is more desirable to set the resistivity of the substrate to less than 0.014 ⁇ ′cm. On the other hand, it is desirable to set the resistivity of the substrate to be not less than 0.011 ⁇ 'cm as the viewpoint power that the formation density of oxygen precipitates increases excessively and hardly warps the substrate.
- the temperature of the low-temperature heat treatment step is less than 450 ° C, the number of oxygen precipitation nuclei formed is extremely small. On the contrary, when the temperature exceeds 750 ° C, the supersaturation degree of interstitial oxygen is too low. The number of nuclei formed is insufficient. Therefore, the temperature for the low-temperature heat treatment is set within the range of 450 ° C to 750 ° C.
- the initial oxygen concentration in the silicon single crystal substrate, in 6 X 10 17 cm_ is preferably 3 or more 10 X 10 17 cm “3 or less. Initial oxygen concentration is less than 6 X 10 17 cm _3, The density of oxygen precipitates cannot be sufficiently secured, and the IG effect cannot be expected.On the other hand, when the initial oxygen concentration exceeds 10 X 10 17 cm _3 , the density of oxygen precipitates is excessive and warping, etc.
- the unit of oxygen concentration is JEIDA (abbreviation of Japan Electronic Industry Development Association. Currently, ⁇ TA EITA (electronic information) It shall be indicated using the standard of (Renamed to the Technical Industry Association).
- the oxygen precipitation nuclei disappeared and reduced during the vapor phase growth step have a formation density necessary for securing the IG effect. Can be restored. Thereafter, oxygen precipitation is performed by further performing a medium temperature heat treatment that is higher than the temperature of the low temperature heat treatment and lower than the temperature of the vapor phase growth, more specifically, 800 ° C or higher and lower than 1100 ° C.
- the nuclei can be oxygen precipitates.
- SC-1 Standard Cleaning 1
- SC-1 cleaning liquid can be used.
- SC-1 cleaning solution 28% by weight ammonia water: 30-35% by weight
- Hydrogen peroxide solution The volume ratio of water is 1: 1 or more and 2 or less: 5 or more and 7 or less.
- a silicon oxide film with a thickness of 2 nm or less can be reduced to the thickness of the natural oxide film without any problem, and the effect of removing particles is high.
- various improvements have been made to the cleaning liquid composition of SC-1 cleaning. (Applied Physics No. 59 11 No. 11, pp. 79-80, 1990) showed that the cleaning characteristics of SC-1 cleaning depended on the ratio between the ammonia concentration and the hydrogen peroxide concentration. If the ratio of hydrogen peroxide to hydrogen peroxide is constant, the water ratio is irrelevant to the etching rate, and the concentration of chemical components is lower than before.
- NH water: HO water: H 0 1: 1: 10 Or 15
- the composition of the cleaning solution is introduced.
- the volume ratio of the hydrogen peroxide solution in the cleaning solution is set to be higher than that of ammonia water, and the ratio of pure water is also increased. It is high.
- the concentration of ammonia in the SC-1 cleaning solution is less than the commonly used concentration of 4.3% by weight, 2.0% by weight. To 3.5% by weight to limit the amount of ammonia used by controlling it within the range of!
- the etching allowance of the silicon oxide film obtained by one cleaning with SC-1 cleaning liquid is about lnm, and if the thickness of the oxide film before the cleaning process is 2nm or less, the etching allowance is reduced.
- the thickness of the silicon oxide film may be less than lnm, but the final thickness of the silicon oxide film eventually settles to about lnm due to the above-mentioned repair effect of hydrogen peroxide. . This is also beneficial from the viewpoint of increasing the thickness uniformity of the silicon oxide film after cleaning.
- the film thickness is referred to as about Xnm, it means that the film thickness is within ⁇ 10% of the center value with Xnm being the center value.
- FIG. 1 is an explanatory process diagram showing an example of a method for producing a silicon epitaxial wafer according to the present invention.
- FIG. 1 is an explanatory view showing an example of a method for producing a silicon epitaxial wafer according to the present invention.
- p + type CZ silicon single crystal substrate 1 (hereinafter referred to as the resistivity is adjusted to 0.06 ⁇ 'cm or less with boron added and initial oxygen concentration force S6 X 10 17 cm_ 3 or more and 10 X 10 17 cm_ 3 or less.
- substrate 1 Fig. 1: Step a).
- the lower limit of the resistivity of substrate 1 is a value defined by the solid solubility limit of boron with respect to silicon, but the resistivity of substrate 1 currently available for semiconductor device manufacturing is 0.0005 ⁇ cm ( 0.5 m ⁇ 'cm) or more.
- substrate 1 includes oxygen precipitation nuclei 11 formed while the silicon single crystal is solidified and cooled to room temperature in the crystal pulling process.
- a vapor phase growth process is performed in which the silicon epitaxial layer 2 is vapor-phase grown on the substrate 1 at a temperature of 1100 ° C. or higher to obtain a silicon epitaxial wafer 50 (FIG. 1: step b). Since the vapor phase growth process is performed at a high temperature of 1100 ° C. or higher, most of the oxygen precipitation nuclei 11 in the substrate 1 formed in the crystal bow I raising process are in solution.
- the silicon epitaxial wafer 50 is put into a heat treatment furnace (not shown) and subjected to a low temperature heat treatment at 450 ° C or higher and 750 ° C or lower for a predetermined time in an oxidizing atmosphere.
- Oxygen precipitation nuclei 11 are formed again to form silicon epitaxial wafer 60 ( Figure 1: Step c).
- the oxidizing atmosphere may be, for example, an atmosphere of 100% strength dry oxygen that is an atmosphere in which dry oxygen is diluted with an inert gas such as nitrogen.
- the low-temperature heat treatment is performed only for a time during which the thickness tl force of the silicon oxide film 3 after the heat treatment is 2 nm or less.
- the specific heat treatment time varies depending on the heat treatment temperature, it is preferably performed in a short time of 4 hours or less.
- the heat treatment time should be set to 1 hour or more.
- the density of oxygen precipitates that can be formed during the subsequent intermediate temperature heat treatment is at most 10 8 cm_ 3 units, enough IG (Intrinsic
- the substrate 1 having a resistivity of 0.02 ⁇ 'cm or less is used.
- step d cleaning with SC-1 cleaning liquid
- SC-1 cleaning is usually performed in the cleaning process after vapor phase growth.
- hydrofluoric acid cleaning increases the number of wafer surface particles and increases the number of processes. Therefore, in the present invention, hydrofluoric acid cleaning is not performed and the etching action of the SC-1 cleaning solution is used. Thus, the thickness tl of the silicon oxide film 3 is reduced.
- the silicon oxide film 3 having a thickness of about 1 nm can be etched in one cleaning step by the etching action of ammonia contained in the cleaning liquid. Since the thickness tl of the silicon oxide film 3 formed in the low-temperature heat treatment process of the present invention is 2 nm or less, the thickness t2 of the silicon oxide film 3 after the cleaning process may be thinner than lnm. is expected. However, when the thickness t2 of the silicon oxide film 3 becomes thinner than lnm, the oxidation action of hydrogen peroxide becomes remarkable, and the thickness of the silicon oxide film should be at least lnm. Can do.
- the thickness tl of the silicon oxide film 3 formed in the low-temperature heat treatment process is thicker than 2 nm, it is difficult to reduce the thickness to about lnm by one SC-1 cleaning process. .
- washing with an SC-2 washing liquid mixture of hydrochloric acid, hydrogen peroxide and water may be further performed as necessary.
- the silicon epitaxial wafer 100 is subjected to an intermediate temperature heat treatment for manufacturing ICs or the like, for example, in the device process (Fig. 1: step e). 11 grows to form oxygen precipitates 12 having a gettering effect.
- the heat treatment is performed in an oxidizing atmosphere, the silicon oxide film 3 on the silicon epitaxial wafer 200 becomes thick.
- silicon is formed on a p-type CZ silicon single crystal substrate 1 having a resistivity of 0.02 ⁇ 'cm or less.
- silicon oxide wafer 50 obtained by vapor phase epitaxy layer 2 is subjected to low-temperature heat treatment in an oxidizing atmosphere in order to form oxygen precipitation nuclei 11, silicon oxide film 3 is formed.
- the thickness tl By controlling the thickness tl to 2 nm or less, the thickness t2 of the silicon oxide film 3 can be made about 1 nm, which is the same as that of the natural oxide film, by SC-1 cleaning. Even when SC-1 cleaning is performed without low-temperature heat treatment after vapor phase growth, the thickness of the silicon oxide film is approximately lnm. Therefore, the silicon oxide film can be removed without hydrofluoric acid cleaning, which tends to increase the particle level.
- the thickness t2 can be made equal to the level of the natural acid film.
- the oxygen concentration of the silicon single crystal substrate described in this example is a Fourier value obtained by using a substrate having a normal resistivity (1 to 20 ⁇ 'cm) as measured by an inert gas melting method. It is converted based on the correlation between the conversion infrared spectroscopy and the inert gas melting method.
