Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor wafer and a semiconductor wafer, and particularly has high flatness except for the outer peripheral portion of the wafer, and when the thin oxide film is formed on the surface in the device process, the oxide film is peeled off from the outer peripheral portion of the wafer.
- the present invention relates to a semiconductor wafer and a method for manufacturing the same.
- the line width constituting the semiconductor elements has become narrower, and when such semiconductor elements are manufactured by a stepper, the surface that becomes the exposure surface of the semiconductor wafer Therefore, high flatness is required.
- semiconductor wafers have been evaluated by SFQR, which will be described later, as a measure of flatness considering the stepper focusing ability in all partial regions of the semiconductor wafer surface.
- a relationship between the thickness of the carrier and the thickness of the semiconductor wafer before processing is defined in a polishing process using a double-side polishing machine, and a predetermined machining allowance is determined based on this relationship.
- a technique for improving SFQR by ensuring the above has been proposed (see, for example, Patent Document 1).
- the formed oxide film surface is subjected to mirror polishing by chemical mechanical polishing (CMP).
- CMP chemical mechanical polishing
- the cause of this phenomenon is that the CMP performed in the device process uses a very soft polishing cloth, so the roll-off amount on the wafer outer peripheral surface is large and the flat shape is highly flattened to the outer periphery.
- the oxide film thickness at the outer peripheral part is locally thinned by the CMP process (peripheral sagging), and the locally thin oxide film part tends to be easily peeled off from the wafer. Can be considered.
- the roll-off amount of the oxide film by CMP processing generally performed is 200 nm or more in ESFQRmax described later.
- the present inventor considers the roll-off amount in the CMP process of the device and manufactures a wafer in which the outer periphery of the wafer is forcibly rolled off in advance, thereby oxidizing the outer periphery of the wafer in the CMP process of the device. It was recalled that the film thickness reduction was suppressed.
- the present inventor first examined whether or not a wafer with a large roll-off of the outer periphery of the wafer could be manufactured in a rough polishing process performed to adjust the flatness of the wafer surface.
- a rough polishing step as described in paragraph 0027 of Patent Document 2
- the mirror polishing process is performed so that the outer peripheral portion of the wafer is largely rolled off
- the SFQR on the wafer surface other than the outer peripheral portion is greatly reduced.
- the mirror polishing process is performed to improve the flatness of the wafer surface other than the outer peripheral portion, the roll-off amount of the wafer outer peripheral portion is reduced.
- the present invention has been completed on the basis of a technical concept that is completely different from the conventional vector in that the wafer outer peripheral part is intentionally rolled off, and the roll-off amount of the outer peripheral part is reduced while maintaining high flatness of the wafer surface.
- the object is to provide a large wafer, and the above object is achieved by intentionally mirror-polishing only the outer peripheral surface of the wafer after mirror polishing.
- an object of the present invention made by paying attention to these points is to increase the roll-off amount of the outer peripheral portion while maintaining high flatness of the wafer surface, and to form an oxide film on the outer peripheral portion of the wafer in the CMP process of the device.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor wafer capable of suppressing film peeling due to a decrease in thickness and a method for manufacturing the same.
- An invention of a method for manufacturing a semiconductor wafer that achieves the above-described object provides an edge roll-off by first polishing only the outer peripheral portion of the main surface of a semiconductor wafer having a mirror-polished main surface and a chamfered edge portion. A region is formed.
- the edge roll-off region is preferably a region where the outer peripheral portion of the main surface is polished from a predetermined position within 10 mm inward of the edge position of the wafer toward the outside of the wafer.
- the first polishing treatment can be performed using a ring-shaped polishing cloth having a size corresponding to the outer peripheral portion of the main surface.
- an oxide film is further formed on the main surface, and a second polishing process is performed in which the surface of the oxide film is mirror-polished, and when performing the first polishing process, It is preferable to determine the roll-off amount so as to be substantially equal to the roll-off amount on the surface of the oxide film after the second polishing process.
- the invention of a semiconductor wafer that achieves the above object comprises an edge roll-off region only on the outer peripheral portion of the main surface of a semiconductor wafer having a mirror-polished main surface and a chamfered edge portion, and the edge roll ESFQRmax, which is the flatness of the main surface of the semiconductor wafer including at least a part of the off region, is 200 nm or more, and SFQRmax, which is the flatness of the main surface excluding the edge roll-off region, is 50 nm or less.
- the ESFQRmax is a value measured from the inner 1 mm of the wafer edge position toward the center of the wafer, and the SFQRmax is measured from the inner 2 mm of the wafer edge position toward the wafer center. This is the value when
- the roll-off amount is the amount of deviation in the thickness direction between the outer edge portion of the edge roll-off region on the surface of the wafer or the oxide film and the position of the outer edge portion of the flat surface when there is no roll-off. Means.
- the roll-off amount has a positive correlation with ESFQRmax described later (if the back flatness is the same).
- the main surface used as the device forming surface of the semiconductor wafer is mirror-polished, and then the outer peripheral portion of the mirror-polished wafer main surface is further polished to form the main surface and the wafer edge. Since the edge roll-off region is formed between the chamfered portion and the chamfered portion, the oxide film thickness reduction at the outer peripheral portion of the wafer in the CMP process of the device can be suppressed while maintaining the high flatness of the wafer surface.

Since other configurations and implementation steps are the same as those in the first embodiment, the description thereof is omitted.
- the roll-off starting point is set at a position about 5 mm from the edge of the semiconductor wafer 1 where the ring-shaped polishing pad 5 and the semiconductor wafer 1 are in contact. it can.

- the outer peripheral portion is polished only on the main surface on which the device is formed in the outer peripheral portion polishing step, the outer peripheral portions on both sides of the semiconductor wafer may be polished.
- the ring-shaped polishing cloth is used for polishing the outer peripheral portion, the shape of the polishing cloth is not limited to the ring shape as long as only the outer peripheral portion can be polished.
- Examples 1 and 2 mm or 5 mm was polished from the wafer edge in the outer periphery polishing step, but the width of the outer periphery to be polished is not limited to this. If the peripheral polishing range is within 10 mm from the wafer edge to the inner side, the generated wafer can have a sufficiently wide device formation region even if the edge roll-off region is excluded.
- the outer peripheral portion of the mirror-polished wafer surface is further polished to be formed on the main surface of the wafer and the wafer edge. Since the edge roll-off region is formed between the chamfered portion and the chamfered portion, the oxide film thickness reduction at the outer peripheral portion of the wafer in the CMP process of the device can be suppressed while maintaining the high flatness of the wafer surface.
