By omitting the ashing process, the time and cost required for a series of resist stripping processes can be greatly reduced.
- Example 1 Using the test apparatus shown in FIG. 1, a test was conducted to remove and remove the resist of a 12-inch wafer for which a resist was formed for a KrF excimer laser with a pattern and an As ion implantation concentration of 1E + 15 [atoms / cm 2 ].
- the test conditions were sulfuric acid (functional chemical solution W1) electrolyzed in the electrolytic reactor 8 while adjusting the sulfuric acid concentration to 92 mass% and the persulfuric acid concentration to about 10 g / L (asS 2 O 8 ).

- the functional chemical solution W 1 was heated to 180 ° C. and supplied to the silicon wafer 33 fixed in the single wafer cleaning apparatus 3 at 160 to 170 ° C. to perform a chemical cleaning process.
- This chemical cleaning step was performed by supplying the functional chemical W1 to the silicon wafer 33 at about 1 L / min and supplying the functional chemical W1 continuously for 2 minutes.

After repeating this twice, the resist stripping process was performed in the same manner except that spin drying was performed. . As a result, from the start of supply of the functional chemical solution W1 to the completion of the resist stripping process, it could be completed in 4 minutes including spin drying.
- Example 1 the resist cleaning process was performed in the same manner except that the wet cleaning process was performed at 2 L / min of pure water for 1 minute and then spin drying was performed. As a result, a large number of resist residues remained on the silicon wafer 33, and the resist stripping process was not completed. Therefore, the silicon wafer 33 with resist residue that has not been processed was further washed with the functional chemical solution W1 for 2 minutes and treated with 2 L / min of pure water for 1 minute, but the resist residue was completely removed visually. Not confirmed. From these facts, it was found that the resist removal was difficult even if the amount of the functional pharmaceutical solution W1 in the chemical solution cleaning step or the cleaning time was doubled only by performing the wet cleaning step with pure water.
- Example 2 In Example 1, the time of the chemical solution cleaning step was set to 10 minutes, the wet cleaning step was set to 2 minutes with 2 L / min of pure water, and then the resist stripping process was performed in the same manner except that spin drying was performed. As a result, a large number of resist residues remained on the silicon wafer 33, and the resist stripping process was not completed. Therefore, when the time of the chemical cleaning process was sequentially extended until the resist remained, it was confirmed that the chemical cleaning process required 15 minutes. From these facts, it was found that when the wet cleaning process was performed only with pure water, it was necessary to take a very long cleaning time in the chemical cleaning process, and the cleaning efficiency was not good.

Abstract
Description
図1は本発明の一実施形態に係る電子材料洗浄システムを示すフロー図である。
図1に示す試験装置を使用して、KrFエキシマレーザ用でパターン有、Asイオンの注入濃度1E+15[atoms/cm2]でレジストを形成した12インチウエハのレジストを剥離除去する試験を行った。
実施例1において、薬液洗浄工程の時間を30秒間とするとともにウエット洗浄工程の時間を30秒間とし、これを2度繰り返した後、スピン乾燥を行った以外は同様にしてレジスト剥離処理を行った。その結果、機能性薬液W1の供給開始から、レジスト剥離処理の完了まで、スピン乾燥を含めて4分で完了することができた。
実施例1において、ウエット洗浄工程を純水2L/分で1分間とした後、スピン乾燥を行った以外は同様にしてレジスト剥離処理を行った。その結果、シリコンウエハ33上にレジスト残渣が多数付着したままで、レジスト剥離処理は完了していなかった。そこで、処理の完了しなかったレジスト残渣付きのシリコンウエハ33に対し、さらに機能性薬液W1による洗浄を2分間行い、純水2L/分で1分間処理したが、レジスト残渣は目視でも完全に取れないことが確認された。これらのことから、ウエット洗浄工程を純水で行っただけでは、薬液洗浄工程における機能製薬液W1の量又は洗浄時間を2倍としてもレジストの剥離が困難であることがわかった。
実施例1において、薬液洗浄工程の時間を10分間とするとともにウエット洗浄工程を純水2L/分で1分間とした後、スピン乾燥を行った以外は同様にしてレジスト剥離処理を行った。その結果、シリコンウエハ33上にレジスト残渣が多数付着したままで、レジスト剥離処理は完了していなかった。そこで、薬液洗浄工程の時間をレジストの残留がなくなるまで順次延長したところ、薬液洗浄工程が15分は必要であることが確認された。これらのことからウエット洗浄工程を純水のみで行った場合には、薬液洗浄工程における洗浄時間を非常に長くとる必要があり、洗浄効率が良好でないことがわかった。
