Definitions
- the present invention relates to a method and an apparatus for purifying an alkaline processing liquid used for processing a semiconductor substrate for various purposes, such as during the manufacture of a semiconductor substrate or a semiconductor device using the semiconductor substrate, and more. Specifically, metals contained in various alkaline processing liquids used when processing these semiconductor substrates are contaminated on the surface of the semiconductor substrate and harmful to devices manufactured from the semiconductor substrate.
- the present invention relates to a method for purifying an alkaline processing liquid for a semiconductor substrate capable of reducing impurities, particularly iron (Fe), to a ppq (one thousandth of ppt) region as necessary, and a purifying apparatus for carrying out this purification method.
- a typical alkaline processing liquid used for processing a semiconductor substrate such as a silicon wafer (Si wafer) at the time of manufacturing a semiconductor device it has hitherto been the most powerful cleaning agent for particles contaminating the Si wafer.
- Hydrogen peroxide-containing ammonia aqueous solution (SC1 from RCA, etc.) and organic strong base aqueous solution used for positive resist film development are used.
- organic strong base of the organic strong base aqueous solution tetrahydroxide hydroxide is used. Alkyl ammonium was typical, and tetramethylammonium hydroxide (TMAH) was generally used.
- the initial commercial product contains metal impurities such as Na, Fe, Zn, Ca, Mg, Ni, Cr, Al, and Cu as metal impurities at a concentration of several ppm, and K has a much higher concentration. It has been a cause of problems such as deterioration of electrical characteristics of devices and pattern defects.
- the initial aqueous solution of TMAH was produced by a method in which an alcohol solution of tetramethylammonium chloride was reacted with a hydroxide, the resulting precipitate was removed by filtration, and subsequently the alcohol solvent was removed (see, for example, Patent Document 1). Therefore, metal impurities such as Fe, Al, Ni, and Na were eluted from the manufacturing raw materials, manufacturing apparatuses, storage containers, etc., and were easily subjected to metal contamination.
- a TMAH aqueous solution is produced by electrolyzing a quaternary ammonium inorganic acid salt such as tetramethylammonium carbonate, thereby mixing impurities of metals and halogen elements.
- An ultra-high purity method was proposed that prevented as much as possible (see Patent Document 3), and in the case of a 10 wt% -TMAH aqueous solution, a reduction to Fe 5 ppb was achieved.
- aqueous solution As another organic strong base aqueous solution that has been put into practical use as a developer for manufacturing semiconductor devices, there is an aqueous solution of trimethylhydroxyethylammonium hydroxide (choline) (choline aqueous solution).
- choline trimethylhydroxyethylammonium hydroxide
- a raw material trimethylamine aqueous solution and an ethylene oxide aqueous solution are mixed and reacted by a specific means, and a developing solution with a controlled development speed is obtained by a manufacturing method (see Patent Document 4) in which a small amount of a side reaction product of a specific concentration coexists. It is done.
- the metal contained in the cleaning solution at a concentration of 1 ppb, and the surface of the Si wafer after the cleaning process is 1 ⁇ 10 11 atoms / cm 2 or more.
- the elements contaminated at the concentration of Al are Fe, Zn, and Zn, and among these elements, Fe is a heavy metal that causes problems such as an increase in device junction current, deterioration in lifetime, and breakdown voltage breakdown of the oxide film.
- ammonia water (29 wt%) and hydrogen peroxide (30 wt%), which are semiconductor chemicals used in preparing this cleaning agent SC1 can be ultra-purified relatively easily by means such as distillation.
- the composition of the cleaning agent SC1 prepared using such semiconductor chemicals is, for example, 29wt% for semiconductors-1 volume of ammonia water: 30wt%-1 volume of hydrogen peroxide water: 10 volumes of ultrapure water, cleaning is performed.
- the Fe concentration of the agent SC1 is about 10 ppt.
- the present inventor has used SC1 solution prepared with semiconductor chemicals of the highest purity (including organic impurities) available so far, and added Fe to this SC1 solution to obtain SC1 solutions with various Fe concentrations.
- the Si wafer was prepared and immersed in these SC1 solutions, and the relationship between the Fe concentration of the SC1 solution and the adsorption concentration of Fe adsorbed on the surface of the immersed Si wafer was determined. In FIG.
- choline cleaning liquid As a cleaning liquid that can obtain a similar cleaning effect under the same processing conditions as the SC1, there is a choline hydrogen peroxide aqueous solution (hereinafter referred to as “choline cleaning liquid”).
- the standard composition of this choline cleaning liquid is 0.1 wt% choline, 4 wt% hydrogen peroxide, and 95.9 wt% water (hereinafter, the choline cleaning liquid having this composition is particularly abbreviated as “COPO”).
- COPO choline cleaning liquid having this composition.
- the semiconductor device manufacturing environment has a favorable feature that it does not cause harmful ammonia contamination, and the cleaning surface is less susceptible to contamination from the environment atmosphere.
- the present inventor regarding the adsorption of Fe present in the COPO to the silicon surface, is substantially parallel to SC1 in the Fe concentration region of 0.1 to 1 ppb, as in the case of SC1 in FIG.
- a Freundlich adsorption line located slightly below was obtained (it is considered that a very small amount of chelating agent added to the liquid is involved)
- the Fe concentration in COPO has been refined to nearly 100 ppq. Therefore, the Fe concentration of COPO was purified to 100 ppq or less, and radioactive Fe of 1 ppb or less was added to the obtained COPO, and an RI tracer experiment (hereinafter referred to as “RI tracer” by radioluminography (RLG) method was performed. It was found that the Freundlich adsorption straight line can be extended to the ppq region (refer to Non-Patent Document 3).
- Non-Patent Document 3 the method adopted for purifying COPO to the Fe concentration ppq region is a method that the present inventor has already put into practical use, and is the same as the wafer to be cleaned.
- This method uses a purification method (Patent Document 5) in which filtration is performed with a silicon particle packed bed filled with silicon particles, and the effect thereof has been confirmed in advance by the RI tracer method.
- Patent Document 5 the purification method in which filtration is performed with a silicon particle packed bed filled with silicon particles, and the effect thereof has been confirmed in advance by the RI tracer method.
- the refining method of filtering through this silicon particle packed bed was used for about ten years in semiconductor factories to remove Cu and Au in hydrofluoric acid, but was canceled due to the effect of the eluted fluorosilicic acid. It was done.
- Patent Document 6 there is an example (Patent Document 6) that is applied to SC1 and is used for cleaning by adsorbing and purifying with silicon up to about 1 ppt, but the adsorbent may be any of a plate shape, a granular shape, and a block shape. It appears that it is necessary to keep the impurity concentration on the silicon surface at 10 9 / cm 2 or less by acid treatment.
- the SC1 solution has an etching action of about 0.5 nm / min or more at a standard processing temperature of 70 ° C. with respect to the silicon surface. Since fine silicon particles with a particle size ratio S / V of the to-be-purified liquid to be filled are about 100, assuming that the Fe concentration of the whole grain is uniform and 0.1 ppm, the liquid contact rate is 1 minute. The elution of Fe is 0.1 ppb. Therefore, adsorption purification cannot be performed up to this point. Silicon grains having an Fe concentration of 0.1 ppm or less can be produced by the CVD fluidized bed method, but there are difficulties in terms of economy.
- Silicon grains have a problem with their purity as described above.
- silicon dissolves into SC1 and the production of metasilicate ions (SiO 3 2 ⁇ ) is 0 per minute. It reaches 5mM / L. This metasilicate ion may have an unfavorable influence (for example, microparticle formation) on the positively charged metal hydroxide colloid dispersed in the SC1 solution.
- iron (Fe) The most harmful metal impurity in the alkaline processing liquid is iron (Fe).
- Fe (Fe) has a very low solubility product of Fe (OH) 3 of 1 ⁇ 10 ⁇ 38 , most of it is usually Fe in the low concentration region unless a readily soluble complex ion is formed. Oxide hydrate is dispersed as condensed iron hydroxide colloid.
- the action as a positive colloid becomes stronger as will be described later, and the negative zeta potential is more easily adsorbed to the oxide film than the silicon surface (that is, Fe contamination occurs). So the impact on the device appears.
- the first countermeasure against this problem is to first sufficiently reduce the amount of Fe in the alkaline processing liquid, which can meet the demand for cleaning from the electrical characteristics. Further, in the cleaning process of Si wafer using SC1, even if the apparatus and environment can be cleaned up to 1 ⁇ 10 8 / cm 2 , the bold line of the Cv-Cs log-log relationship diagram shown in FIG. It is necessary to refine the Fe concentration of the SC1 solution to 50 ppq or less, presuming from the downward extended thick dotted line.
- the object of the present invention is to further purify a high-purity alkaline processing liquid made of a commercially available high-purity chemical for processing a semiconductor substrate for various purposes, and to reduce the Fe concentration in this alkaline cleaning liquid to the ppq region.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a means for purifying an alkaline processing liquid for a semiconductor substrate that can be reduced.
- this purification is possible if it is adsorbed and purified in a silicon particle packed bed immediately before the use of the alkaline processing liquid.
- the silicon surface is susceptible to etching, and the purity of silicon particles is much higher than that of silicon single crystals. Therefore, metal impurities such as Fe contaminate the alkaline processing liquid to prevent high purity, and the alkaline processing liquid is subject to elution contamination of metasilicate ions that cannot be said to be a high purity liquid. Due to this etching, the consumption of silicon fine particles is surprisingly fast, and there is a risk of harmful microparticle formation at that stage.
- another object of the present invention is that it is difficult to be etched (that is, has high chemical resistance), has high mechanical strength, and strongly strengthens iron hydroxide colloids and the like in an alkaline processing solution for semiconductor substrates. It is an object of the present invention to provide a means for purifying an alkaline processing liquid for a semiconductor substrate, which can be adsorbed on the substrate to purify the alkaline processing liquid to ultrahigh purity.
- a multi-tank immersion type automatic cleaning process for semiconductor substrates is generally performed in a certain sequence.
- a SC1 liquid circulation filtering regeneration mechanism is widely used in order to further enhance the effect.
- detached impurities that are cleaned from the object to be cleaned accumulate in the liquid, and the purity of Fe in particular deteriorates.
- SC1 is rarely used in the final stage of the sequence even if it is preferable for particle countermeasures.
- another object of the present invention is, for example, a liquid circulation type alkaline peroxidation capable of maintaining the Fe residual amount on the surface of the cleaned wafer on the order of 10 8 atoms / cm 2 at the final stage of the multi-bath immersion cleaning in the semiconductor device manufacturing process.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a refining method and apparatus which is effective and reproducible especially for removing Fe inserted in a liquid circulation system in order to enable hydrogen cleaning.
- the present invention is a method for purifying an alkaline processing liquid used for processing a semiconductor substrate, wherein the alkaline processing liquid is brought into contact with a silicon carbide crystal surface of an adsorption purification means, and a metal contained in the alkaline processing liquid. It is a method for purifying an alkaline processing liquid for a semiconductor substrate, wherein impurities are adsorbed and removed on the silicon carbide crystal surface.
- the present invention is an apparatus for purifying an alkaline processing liquid for a semiconductor substrate used for purifying an alkaline processing liquid used for processing a semiconductor substrate and removing metal impurities in the alkaline processing liquid,
- a semiconductor substrate having a silicon carbide crystal surface in contact with an alkaline processing liquid, and having an adsorption purification means for adsorbing and removing metal impurities contained in the alkaline processing liquid on the silicon carbide crystal surface It is the refinement
- an alkaline treatment liquid to be purified for example, a semiconductor substrate such as a silicon wafer or a silicon carbide wafer, during the production of these semiconductor substrates or during the production of semiconductor devices using these semiconductor substrates.
- a semiconductor substrate such as a silicon wafer or a silicon carbide wafer
- the SC1 cleaning liquid used in the manufacture of a semiconductor substrate and particularly required for high purity is an SC1 cleaning liquid used in a polishing process, pre-epitaxy cleaning, and the like.
- the inorganic strong base aqueous solution used in the double-sided lapping process or the like should have high purity with respect to heavy metals.
- alkali / hydrogen peroxide such as a choline cleaning liquid mainly composed of SC1, which is a typical cleaning liquid for cleaning processes attached to many processes such as oxidation, diffusion, and CVD.
- SC1 a typical cleaning liquid for cleaning processes attached to many processes such as oxidation, diffusion, and CVD.
- aqueous solution there is an aqueous solution.
- an inorganic organic strong base aqueous solution containing a surfactant may be mentioned as a special cleaning liquid in the high pressure power device diffusion process.
- alkaline processing liquids to be purified those having a large amount of use can be exemplified by an organic strong base aqueous solution for a positive resist developer used in a positive resist film developing process at the time of manufacturing semiconductor devices.
- an organic strong base aqueous solution for a positive resist developer used in a positive resist film developing process at the time of manufacturing semiconductor devices for example, there are an aqueous solution of tetraalkylammonium hydroxide represented by TMAH and an aqueous solution of trimethylhydroxyalkylammonium hydroxide represented by choline.
- aqueous solution of a strong base used for anisotropic wet etching on an Si wafer for VMOS or the like, or an aqueous solution of a weak base such as ethylenediamine is also an object of the present invention.
- the purification method of the present invention further refines a high-purity alkaline treatment solution that can be obtained in the normal market for production in a semiconductor factory, and particularly reduces the Fe concentration to the ppq region.
- the alkaline treatment solution to be obtained is preferably a high-purity alkaline treatment solution having a metal impurity concentration of the highest purity that can be usually obtained in the market, particularly an Fe concentration of 3 to 10 ppt.
- the purification method of the present invention may be applied after the alkaline processing liquid is purified in advance by another known purification method and the Fe concentration is reduced to the above range.
- the silicon carbide crystal face that is brought into contact with such an alkaline processing liquid is not particularly limited, and even a crystal face of a silicon carbide single crystal may be subjected to chemical vapor deposition (CVD). It may be a crystal plane of silicon carbide polycrystal formed by the method. When used on a substrate, the latter has less difference in adsorption performance between the front and back.
- CVD chemical vapor deposition
- the metal impurities that can be purified by the purification method and the purification apparatus of the present invention have been described for the heavy metal Fe that is substantially the most harmful to Si wafers in the semiconductor device manufacturing process described above. This is effective not only for this impurity Fe but also for metal impurities forming a metal hydroxide colloid having a positive charge in the alkaline processing liquid.
- the metal impurities that form metal hydroxide colloids having a positive charge in such an alkaline processing liquid are present in, for example, a stock solution of a high concentration organic strong base aqueous solution, which causes poor oxide film breakdown voltage and V th shift. Examples thereof include Ca and Zn that are caused, and Al that is present in the alkaline hydrogen peroxide cleaning solution and increases the interface state.
- purification for removing the impurity Fe is mainly performed, but the description is also applicable to these metals.
- the greatest technical feature of the present invention is that a silicon carbide crystal surface having an extremely strong adsorption purification ability for a metal hydroxide colloidal impurity having a positive charge in an alkaline processing liquid is converted into a metal impurity in the alkaline processing liquid. It is to be used as an adsorbing purification means when removing water.
- the silicon carbide crystal surface proposed by the present invention has a much stronger adsorption performance than the (100) plane having a high adsorption performance in the silicon crystal. For example, the silicon (100) crystal plane shown in FIG.
- Adsorption concentration measurement result of radioluminography image (RLG image) in RI tracer method for 59 Fe hydroxide colloid of A) and silicon carbide (0001) crystal plane (B) is silicon carbide (0001) crystal plane (B) Is 4675 PSL / mm 2 , the silicon (100) crystal plane (A) is 1214 PSL / mm 2 , and the silicon carbide (0001) crystal plane is determined to have about four times the adsorption of the silicon (100) crystal plane. Is done. Furthermore, some CVD polycrystalline silicon carbide substrates exhibit 59 Fe adsorption that is nearly twice that of the single crystal substrate when compared to both the front and back surfaces.
- the present invention utilizes the silicon carbide crystal face as a means for adsorbing and purifying metal impurities in the alkaline processing liquid, and a purification effect that is clearly higher than that of silicon is obtained.
- silicon carbide does not substantially dissolve in the alkaline processing liquid. Therefore, even if the silicon carbide crystal itself used as an adsorption purification means contains a trace amount of metal impurities, There is an effect that it can be ignored that the alkaline processing liquid is contaminated. Similarly, a substantial decrease in the purity of the alkaline processing liquid due to the formation and contamination of the metasilicate ions in the alkaline processing liquid can be ignored.
- silicon carbide has a hardness that tells diamond, so there are few mechanical deterioration phenomena such as particle generation. Therefore, the effects of the present invention are outstanding in terms of maintenance and economy.
- the metal impurities adsorbed on the silicon carbide crystal surface from the alkaline processing liquid can be easily removed from the silicon carbide crystal surface by a cleaning treatment with an extremely weak acid-based cleaning agent and water rinse.
- the silicon carbide crystal plane used as can be easily regenerated.
- the great effect of the present invention is that a multi-stage parallel silicon carbide adsorption purification mechanism incorporating both an adsorption purification means having a silicon carbide crystal face and a regeneration means for regenerating the silicon carbide crystal face can be easily configured.
- Silicon carbide can be easily prepared as a granular adsorbent due to its excellent chemical resistance and mechanical strength. Alkaline treatment liquid by passing through an adsorbent-filled column packed with this adsorbent.
- the purification of can be carried out simply and stably.
- the crystal plane appearing on the surface of the fine particles does not necessarily have the most preferable adsorption characteristics, and it is also predicted that the purification ability as an adsorption purification means is reduced. Since the ratio S / V between the total surface area (S) of the granular adsorbent and the volume (V) of the full liquid (alkaline treatment liquid) in contact with the granular adsorbent is large, the removal rate is substantially sufficient as an adsorbent packed column. Is obtained.
- the purification of the present invention is performed with the mechanism configured as described above in multiple stages, there is an effect that Fe in the alkaline processing liquid can be lowered to a region of about 2 orders of ppq.
- the final of the sequence of the multi-tank immersion type automatic cleaning apparatus is alkali hydrogen peroxide cleaning equipped with this mechanism, and the cleaning liquid containing hydrofluoric acid is preceded, the residual Fe of the cleaning wafer is 1 ⁇ 10 8 atoms / cm 2. Can be reached.
- a representative harmful metal element Fe remaining in a high-purity product of a strong alkaline processing liquid such as an organic strong base aqueous solution such as a developer for developing a positive resist used in manufacturing a semiconductor device is used. Since it can be effectively removed immediately before its use at the site, it becomes easy to carry out and manage the ultra-high purity treatment of the developer, etc. There is also a margin in the pollution control of transport containers.
- FIG. 1 is a conceptual explanatory diagram for explaining an adsorbing plate laminate (adsorption purifying means) used in the method for purifying an alkaline processing liquid of the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a conceptual explanatory diagram for explaining the purification of the alkaline processing liquid using the adsorption plate laminate of FIG. 1 and the regeneration treatment of the adsorption plate laminate after use.
- FIG. 3 shows an adsorbent packed column (adsorption) in which an alkaline processing liquid used in the final tank of a multi-tank immersion cleaning system is packed with a granular adsorbent having a silicon carbide crystal surface adopted as a purification method of the present invention. It is a conceptual explanatory view for explaining a cleaning device attached with a regeneration processing mechanism when the capacity of the adsorbent is further reduced by circulating through the purifying means) and purifying.
- FIG. 4 shows a structure in which a plurality of thin plate-like adsorbing plate adsorbing plate stacks made of a CVD method silicon carbide polycrystalline plate adopted as a purification method of the present invention are incorporated in place of the column adsorbent packed column of the cleaning apparatus of FIG.
- FIG. 4 shows a structure in which a plurality of thin plate-like adsorbing plate adsorbing plate stacks made of a CVD method silicon carbide polycrystalline plate adopted as a purification method of the present invention are incorporated in place of the column adsorbent packed column of the cleaning apparatus of FIG.
- FIG. 5 is a Cv-Cs logarithmic relationship diagram showing a Freundlich adsorption line of Fe on the silicon surface and the silicon carbide surface.
- FIG. 6 is a graph showing the EDTPO effect (relationship of V / S- 59 Fe residual rate) of SC1 cleaning with respect to silicon surface Fe contamination.
- FIG. 7 is an image photograph showing the measurement result of the RLG image in the RI tracer method of radioactive iron adsorbed on the silicon surface and the silicon carbide surface.
- the adsorption purification means for purifying the alkaline treatment liquid may be any one having at least a silicon carbide crystal surface in contact with the alkaline treatment liquid.
- the silicon carbide crystal plane is not particularly limited as long as it can be secured. However, the use of amorphous having poor chemical resistance and mechanical strength is limited. Single crystals are preferable in terms of purity, and in particular, there is little variation in adsorption performance. For semiconductor devices, there are a hexagonal system and a cubic system. In the former, the (0001) plane is usually used, and there are many 4H and 6H wafers on the market due to the polymorphic nature. But this difference is negligible.
- the problem is that silicon carbide single crystals are polar and there is a considerable difference in Fe adsorption performance between the front and back.
- the RLG image of silicon carbide in FIG. 7 is the side that adsorbs well, and the back side may be half that when it is bad.
- the cubic system is formed by epitaxial growth on the Si wafer surface, and the surface is (100).
- the adsorption performance on the surface is comparable to that of the hexagonal system. Since the back side is silicon, this case is out of the question.
- the largest number of wafer-like silicon carbides on the market are polycrystalline dummy wafers for oxidation furnaces, diffusion furnaces, low pressure CVD furnaces, etc. that are frequently used in semiconductor processes.
- the main method is to remove the graphite by growing silicon carbide to the required thickness by CVD on the graphite substrate and then burning it, but it is used for problems such as warpage, mechanical strength, and the rough surface of the finished surface.
- the problem varies depending on the process to be performed, and there are various products on the market with various products devised by the manufacturer according to the needs.
- a silicon carbide CVD substrate is particularly important for the present invention. Under normal growth conditions, it is cubic and the surface is oriented with (111) and (110). Some surfaces are so rough that the (111) pyramid can be seen under a microscope, while others do not reveal the crystal shape at all.
- a polycrystalline substrate usually adsorbs Fe to approximately the same extent on both sides, which is a very important advantage for embodiments of the present invention that utilize both sides of the adsorption plate.
- a wafer obtained by further CVD growth on a CVD wafer excluding graphite is further desirable in this respect. However, since it is not easy to pursue these advantages theoretically, the present inventor has taken a method of judging at once by the RLG method.
- the variation of both sides of the dummy wafer sample is good at ⁇ 20%, and the particularly good comparison of the adsorption concentration on the silicon (100) surface is more than 7 times, approximately 5 to 6 times, and 3 times one case. It was.
- the (0001) silicon carbide single crystal chip performed at the same time had a good surface 5 times and a back surface 2.5 times.
- the CVD silicon carbide polycrystalline plate provides the most preferable Fe adsorption performance for the present invention. Some of these show extremely good hydrophilicity on the surface, can ensure a contact area (silicon carbide crystal surface) with the alkaline treatment liquid, and the alkaline treatment liquid after the purification treatment is easily separated. So-called liquid drainage is excellent.
- granular crystals produced by the CVD method for example, a particle size of about several hundreds ⁇ m is cubic and the surface is considered to have (111) orientation, which is preferable as an adsorbent for packed beds.
- a widely used silicon carbide ingot by the Acheson method is pulverized into particles with a particle coefficient of 100 ⁇ m, purified by chemical treatment, etc., and then the entire surface of the particles is coated with a high-purity silicon carbide CVD film. Can also be used as adsorbents for packed beds.
- ethylenediaminetetramethylenephosphonic acid chelating agent EDTPO
- the present inventor obtained the Freundlich straight line shown in FIG. .
- a phosphonic acid chelating agent such as EDTPO has an extremely strong effect of suppressing Fe adsorption from SC1 or COPO to the silicon surface (see Non-Patent Document 2 and Non-Patent Document 3).
- the Freundlich straight line added with 1 ppm of EDTPO shown by the present inventors in both documents is reprinted in FIG. 5, and the POCO newly created under the same experimental conditions as the latter is used. The straight line at 100 ppb of was added.
- Fe adsorption effect on silicon carbide surface and regenerative cleaning method for regenerative cleaning method for adsorbed Fe The Fe adsorption performance of (0001) plane of 4H silicon carbide single crystal in COPO cleaning liquid is the single crystal surface (100) on which Fe is easily adsorbed by silicon. A simple adsorption experiment was performed for comparison. Nine quartz glass small beakers containing 10 mL of COPO cleaning solution were prepared, and an aqueous iron chloride solution labeled with radioactive 59 Fe was added dropwise so that the Fe concentration of each solution was less than 1 ppb.
- the silicon carbide surface showed about four times as much adsorption as the silicon surface, which was the basis for the superiority of the present invention.
- the comparison of the RLG images of the silicon carbide chip surface (B) and the silicon chip surface (A) is as shown in FIG. 7, and the accurate radiation intensity measurement values of both are as shown above.
- the density of is roughly proportional to the adsorbed 59 Fe concentration, but the difference is clear at first glance. Also, the Fe adsorption on the amorphous carbon surface was negligible.
- the composition of the proposed cleaning solution is an aqueous solution of 2 wt% -hydrogen peroxide / 1 wt% -hydrofluoric acid, but the composition of the regenerating solution is not limited to this value from the viewpoint of action.
- FIG. 5 also shows a Freundlich adsorption straight line (one-dot chain line) of silicon carbide when 100 ppb EDTPO is added.
- the adsorption inhibitory action of the chelating agent works similarly for silicon carbide.
- the chelating agent reduces its ability during Fe adsorption purification of silicon carbide, and is a harmful substance in that respect.
- the Freundlich straight line is quite close to the straight line of silicon COPO cleaning solution. Therefore, even if 100 ppb is added to COPO, the adsorption purification effect of silicon carbide is the adsorption purification of silicon with respect to the COPO cleaning solution (added 10 ppb). It will be roughly comparable to the effect. This shows that even when about 0.1 ppm of EDTPO is added to the alkaline hydrogen peroxide cleaning solution, the adsorption purification effect of silicon carbide can be obtained with practically no problem in the adsorption performance for Fe in the solution.
- radioactive 59 Fe was used in the same manner to obtain a Freundlich adsorption straight line on the silicon carbide (0001) surface, which is shown by a two-dot chain line in FIG. The position became the top of the line group. Fe in the alkaline processing liquid is a result that silicon carbide is less likely to be from the cleaning liquid containing hydrogen peroxide. Suspecting the involvement of the treatment temperature, the adsorption effect of both at room temperature was investigated, and the results were almost the same as shown in the examples.
- the tip is taken out, rinsed and dried, and the radioactivity is measured by the RLG-RI tracer method in the same manner as described above.
- the strength was measured, and the Fe concentration (liquid concentration) of the liquid and the adsorption concentration on the silicon surface (Si surface adsorption concentration) were determined. The average value of each was calculated, and the results are shown in Table 2.
- the tip Since the tip has a total area of 8 cm 2 on the front and back, the total amount of Fe adsorption on the entire Si surface is calculated from the Si surface adsorption concentration, and the value obtained by adding the total amount of Fe in the liquid obtained from the liquid concentration to the liquid / Si surface The total amount is shown in Table 2. Since the Fe amount in the container is 1.2 ⁇ 10 12 atoms, the adsorption amount to the quartz inner surface of the beaker can be obtained by subtraction, and the area of the beaker inner surface in contact with the liquid is 22 cm 2 , so the quartz surface adsorption. A concentration is obtained.
- quartz surface adsorption (* 1, * 2) was obtained by placing the beaker in a well-type NaI scintillator and measuring the radioactivity.
- the Fe adsorption concentration on the quartz surface is about three times higher than that on the silicon surface. Since the oxide film surface is a SiO 2 surface, the same tendency is exhibited and the adsorption is increased. However, when the Fe concentration of the liquid is about 1 ppb, the oxide film surface and the silicon surface are adsorbed to approximately the same level, and the oxide film surface tends to be slightly less adsorbed.
- EDTPO is preferably added to the alkaline processing liquid used as the cleaning liquid because it requires a strong removal action against Fe contamination and a suppression action against deterioration due to the foaming of the liquid, and silicon carbide used as an adsorption purification means. It can be seen that must be able to withstand the burden of adding this EDTPO.
- the inclination angle of this straight line group is about 45 °, and therefore the value of each m is set to 1 in order to simplify the discussion.
- the above Freundlich adsorption equation can be expressed as the following equation 3.
- the K value indicates the ease of adsorption of Fe in the liquid onto the silicon surface or silicon carbide crystal surface when the Fe concentration of the liquid is constant. This K value is added to FIG. 5 and FIG. 6 described later.
- the K value is 0.065 for the silicon (100) substrate, whereas it is 0.25 on the surface of the silicon carbide (0001) substrate where the adsorption is large, which is four times that of the silicon substrate. close.

- the volume of the test liquid introduced and filled in the slit gap is Vcm 3
- the area of the test adsorption plate laminate in contact with the test liquid is Scm 2
- the inside of the slit gap If the Fe concentration of the test solution before introduction into CVI is C VI, and the Fe concentration of the test solution when the test solution introduced into the slit gap is left to reach equilibrium is C VA , this concentration
- the residual ratio of radioactive 59 Fe after adsorption purification from the Freundlich adsorption formula of the above formula 3 is expressed by the following formula 4.
- the residual rate obtained as a result of the experiment was about 9%.
- the Fe concentration of the alkaline processing liquid is low, for example, the lower one in the ppt region on the silicon carbide crystal substrate surface, it is presumed that the Freundlich law is established with a high K value regardless of the single crystal polycrystal.
- the CVD polycrystalline substrate does not change the adsorption characteristics on the front and back sides, and a K value higher than that of the single crystal surface may be obtained. Therefore, there is a high possibility that the substrate gap can be considerably widened.
- silicon carbide plate-like substrates are more chemically and mechanically stable than silicon carbide grains, and the load on the subsequent particulate removal filter is significantly reduced. There is also an effect.
- a 4 wt% choline aqueous solution with a concentration of 0.05 ppb or less, 29 wt% ammonia water with an Fe concentration of 0.1 to 0.05 ppb, and 30 wt% hydrogen peroxide water with an Fe concentration of 0.1 to 0.03 ppb were used.

- choline stock solution a 4 wt% choline aqueous solution (choline stock solution) was used as the alkaline treatment liquid (purified liquid), and 500 mL of the purified liquid was passed through the adsorbent-filled column at a rate of 20 mL / min. After 300 mL, 400 mL, and 500 mL, each sample was sampled, and the metal impurity concentration was analyzed for each sample by inductively coupled plasma mass (ICPMS).

- the adsorption seat is limited. Therefore, the lower the concentration of the object to be purified, the later the filling of the seat is delayed.
- a more favorable effect on the regeneration frequency can be expected. This result indicates that frequent regeneration is unnecessary in the high purity region.
- Example 6 As a cleaning method for removing the Fe contamination on the silicon substrate surface, dilute hydrofluoric acid (DHF) cleaning is generally used.
- DHF dilute hydrofluoric acid
- the present inventor has immersed a silicon wafer in radioactive H 18 F-labeled DHF having a concentration of 0.1% for 10 minutes. As a result, the adsorption amount of 18 F reaches 10 13 atoms / cm 2 on average, and the adsorption is observed from the RLG image.
- the wafer is conscious of a cleaning sequence based on the widely used RCA method, that is, a cleaning apparatus of SPM (sulfuric acid hydrogen peroxide treatment) ⁇ SC1 ⁇ DHF ⁇ SC2 (hydrochloric acid hydrogen peroxide treatment). Two sets of cleaning experimental machines were created to demonstrate the conclusions regarding Fe cleaning described above.
- FIG. 3 is a conceptual diagram of this apparatus.
- SPM which usually has a strong organic contaminant removal capability
- dry etching which is necessary for device pattern formation, tends to cause metal contamination such as Fe on the side and bottom of the processed micropores, but also causes organic contamination. This is because the latter need to be removed first.
- SPM cleaning was started, and then DHF cleaning was followed by SC1 cleaning with a circulating silicon carbide adsorption purification mechanism. From the experience that it is difficult to clean Fe with an oxide film surface with fine irregularities, a surface-roughened oxide wafer obtained by thermally oxidizing a Si wafer roughened with a TMAH aqueous solution was used as a sample to be cleaned.
- the sample wafer was contaminated with 59 Fe about 1 ⁇ 10 12 atoms / cm 2 from the SC1 solution, then left in the plastic case for 72 hours to be organically contaminated, and before starting the cleaning experiment, the 59 Fe concentration on the rough surface was measured by RLG. was accurately measured and used as a sample for a cleaning experiment using the RI tracer method.
- the residual concentration after the DHF cleaning is set to 2 ⁇ 10 10 atoms / cm 2.
- the ability must be 4% or less.
- SC1 has a difference in etching rate depending on its composition. Usually, the larger the etching amount, the greater the effect of removing the surface foreign matter, but the surface becomes rough. However, even though the composition is the same, the cleaning effect on Fe varies depending on the brand of hydrogen peroxide, and the residual rate varies from 6% to 12% under normal cleaning conditions.
- ammonia water: hydrogen peroxide water: water 1 volume: 1 volume 12 volumes.
- Non-Patent Documents 2 and 3 if a phosphonic chelating agent is added, the residual rate can be drastically reduced in both SC1 and COPO.
- the present inventor firstly examined the relationship between the residual ratio after SC1 cleaning and the V / S value by the above-described EDTPO (typical phosphon).
- the acid chelating agent was determined according to the amount added (FIG. 6).
- this ratio is about 0.8 to 1.25 in a practical cleaning apparatus.
- the sample wafer was 150 mm ⁇ , and two of them were set in a quartz glass processing tank with a wafer receiver having a cleaning liquid amount of 700 mL by a quartz glass chuck with a dedicated handle.
- the SC1 cleaning section was equipped with an adsorbent packed column according to the present invention in front of a particle filter, following the SC1 liquid circulation system, which mainly aims to improve the particle removal capability of existing cleaning equipment and save the amount of chemicals.
- the Freundlict straight line decreases as the amount of silicon carbide increases as in the case of silicon in FIG.
- the upper one-dot chain line of 10 ppb added COPO falls to the lower one-dot chain line by adding 100 ppb. This means that the adsorption purification of Fe by silicon carbide becomes difficult.
- the EDTPO addition concentration is the same for SC1 and COPO, the Freundlict straight lines of the two substantially coincide.
- Example 6 aiming at the same effect as in Example 3, the packed bed volume and the liquid supply rate to the bed are made proportional, that is, about 300 mL (column inner diameter 6 cm, high) which is 10 times the particle volume. (A little less than 12 cm) was prepared so that 200 mL per minute could be passed. Further, silicon carbide particles are sieved as an adsorbent to obtain a particle size distribution similar to that of silicon particles, and the column is preliminarily tested by the RI tracer method as in the same document. An Fe removal rate of 82% was obtained.
- the average Fe contamination concentration of the wafer to be cleaned should be 2 ⁇ 10 10 atoms / cm 2 .
- the cleaned wafer is purified to about 4 ⁇ 10 8 atoms / cm 2, and most of the removed Fe is transferred to the solution, and the concentration of the SC1 solution entering the purification column is 2 ⁇ 10 10 atoms / cm 3. That is, it is close to 2 ppt.
- the SPM processing container 20 and the SC1 processing container were arranged side by side with an overflow rinse (rinsing container 22, DHF processing container 41, etc.), and drying was performed by transferring from the drying zone to a single wafer spinner.
- the two wafers to be cleaned 23 are moved manually by the handle of the quartz glass chuck (not shown).
- the cleaning process in each container including SC1 is performed by a general operation, and since there is no direct relationship with the present invention, a specific description of this sequence is omitted.
- the circulation purification means that is the basis of the SC1 liquid circulation system incorporating adsorption purification by silicon carbide is the SC1 stored in the storage container 24 of the liquid to be purified (SC1 liquid) by opening the valve below the SC1 treatment container 21.
- the liquid 25 is supplied to a first adsorbent-packed column (hereinafter referred to as “first column”) 27 prepared according to the above-mentioned Example 3 by a liquid feed pump P via a three-way valve 26.
- the liquid is passed at a flow rate at which half or two-thirds of the volume flows, and is sent to the storage container 29 (with a heating mechanism) 29 of the purified processing liquid (SC1 liquid) via the three-way valve 28 and the particle removal filter F.
- the valve below the container 29 is opened to fill the purified processing solution 30 in the container 29 into the SC1 processing container 21 in which the wafer is set at once. After cleaning for a predetermined time, the valve below the SC1 processing container 21 is cleaned. And the contaminated liquid from the wafer is returned to the storage container 24 at once. When the residual liquid in the SC1 processing container 21 is almost lost, the SC1 processing container 21 is filled again by flowing the purified processing liquid 30 from the storage container 29 (with a heating mechanism) 29 of the purified processing liquid all at once. By the rapid replacement of the SC1 liquid, the cleanliness of the input SC1 liquid can be fully utilized. Since the wafer surface becomes superhydrophilic, the surface does not dry during this replacement.
- Reference numeral 42 denotes a drying treatment area.
- the second adsorbent packed column (hereinafter referred to as “second” Column ”)) 27 were juxtaposed to allow two-stage adsorption purification. That is, after refining in the first column 27, the liquid is returned to the storage container 24 through the refining liquid return pipe 32 by the valves 28 and 31, and sent again via the valve 33, and purified by the second column 27 and purified by the attached filter. The two-stage purified solution is sent to the storage container 29 via F and used for washing the second-stage purified solution.
- the 2 wt% -hydrogen peroxide / 1 wt% -hydrofluoric acid aqueous solution 26 contained in the cleaning liquid container 34 is ultrapure in advance.
- the solution is sent to the first column 27 that has been washed with water via the valves 36 and 26, and discharged from the valves 28 and 31 through the drainage exhaust pipe 38.
- the rinsing ultrapure water is sent from the rinsing ultrapure water supply pipe 39 to the first column 27 by a valve operation and drained through the drainage pipe 38, as in the case of the column washing water.
- the inside of the first column 27 is dried by supplying nitrogen gas to the column from the nitrogen gas supply pipe 40 and exhausting it through the exhaust pipe 38.
- the cleaning liquid in the second column 27 is sent via valves 37 and 33, and the other operations are the same as those related to the first column 27.
- Alkaline hydrogen peroxide cleaning solution to which EDTPO is added in the range of 10 to 300 ppb can be refined to the ppq level by refining with silicon carbide, and the solution contaminates Fe of silicon substrate surface with 1 ⁇ 10 8 atoms / cm. Up to 2 units can be cleaned. Even if 1,2-propylenediaminetetramethylenephosphonic acid (Methyl-EDTPO) in which the ethylene group is substituted with a propylene group is used instead of EDTPO, its action and effect are not different from those of EDTPO.
- Method-EDTPO 1,2-propylenediaminetetramethylenephosphonic acid

Abstract
Description
本発明において、アルカリ性処理液を精製する吸着精製手段は、少なくともアルカリ性処理液と接触する炭化ケイ素結晶面を有するものであればよく、炭化ケイ素の形態としては、この炭化ケイ素結晶面を確保できるものであれば特に制限されるものではない。しかし、耐化学薬品性や機械的強度の劣るアモルファスは用途が限られる。単結晶は純度の点で好ましく、特に吸着性能のバラツキが少ない。半導体デバイス用としては六方晶系と立方晶系があり、前者は通常(0001)面が使われ、多形の性質があって市場にでているのは4Hと6Hのウェーハが多い。しかしこの差は無視し得る。問題は炭化ケイ素単結晶には極性があって、表裏でFe吸着性能にかなりの差があることである。図7の炭化ケイ素のRLG画像は良く吸着する側で、裏面は悪いときはその半分になることがある。立方晶系はSiウェーハ面にエピタキシャル成長させると生じ、面は(100)である。その面の吸着性能は六方晶系並みである。裏面はシリコンであるからこの場合は論外である。
アルカリ性処理液のうちで過酸化水素が添加されたアルカリ過酸化水素洗浄液では、過酸化水素水中の残存する微量の分解阻止用キレート剤がFeのシリコン面や炭化ケイ素面への吸着を抑制する場合がある。高純度過酸化水素水と称するものでも、メーカーやロットによって、この種のキレート剤がごく微量入っていたり、入っていなかったり、また、入っていてもその物質が明らかではない。製造メーカー各社の最高純度過酸化水素水で調製したSC1のシリコン面に対するフロイントリヒ直線は、図5の太実線上下の細点線に挿まれた区域内、即ちかなり広い範囲にばらつく(洗浄条件は太実践の場合と同じ)。本発明者はCOPOにエチレンジアミンテトラメチレンホスホン酸キレート剤(EDTPO)の10ppbを添加することにより、高純度過酸化水素水の差にあまり影響されずに図5の細実線のフロイントリヒ直線を得た。EDTPOのようなホスホン酸キレート剤は、SC1やCOPOからシリコン面へのFe吸着を抑制する効果が極めて強い(非特許文献2及び非特許文献3を参照)。炭化ケイ素面でのこのような効果を検討するために、先ず両文献で本発明者が示したEDTPO1ppm添加のフロイントリヒ直線を図5に転載し、後者と同じ実験条件で新たに作成したPOCOでの100ppb添加における該直線を付記した。
COPO洗浄液における4H炭化ケイ素単結晶の(0001)面のFe吸着性能をシリコンでFeが吸着しやすい単結晶面(100)と比較するため簡単な吸着実験を行った。COPO洗浄液10mLを入れた9個の石英ガラス製小ビーカを準備し、放射性59Feで標識した塩化鉄水溶液を滴下して、夫々の液のFe濃度が1ppb弱となるようにした。シリコン単結晶(100)ウェーハ、アモルファス炭素ウェーハ、4H炭化ケイ素単結晶(0001)ウェーハから、前2者は2cm角の試料チップを切り出して、小さく硬い炭化ケイ素ウェーハは4分割を依頼してチップ化し、夫々実験試料とした。各試料を70℃の前記COPO洗浄液に10分浸漬後、超純水で10分リンスし、乾燥後にRIトレーサ法で放射能強度を計って試料表面のFeの吸着濃度を求めた。
結果を表1に示す。
この結果を表1に追加する。
上述のCOPO洗浄液(EDTPO 10ppb添加)の吸着実験とほぼ同条件で、炭化ケイ素チップを用い、液のFe濃度1ppbと0.1ppbの場合のチップ面吸着濃度を求めて図5にプロットしたところ、両者を結ぶ直線(一点鎖線)は、既に記載されているフロイントリヒ吸着直線群と略平行になり、この直線はフロイントリヒ吸着直線であるといえる。COPO洗浄液のシリコンのフロイントリヒ直線より遥かに上方に位置し、一見しても炭化ケイ素がシリコンより遥かにFeの吸着性能に優れていることが判明した。
アルカリ性液中では、炭化ケイ素面でもSi面もSiO2面もゼータ電位が負であり、SiO2面のその値がSi面よりやや大きいことはよく知られている。これで説明される現象の一例を以下で取り上げるが、その結果から推論して炭化ケイ素の負のゼータ電位は更に大きいといえる。既述のように、アルカリ性液に分散している水酸化鉄は、正コロイドであるから、シリコン面よりも石英ガラス面や酸化膜面に対してより吸着し易い。しかし、EDTPOを添加すると、このコロイドは陰イオン化し、コロイドの吸着を阻止することができる。
夫々の平均値を求め、その結果を表2に示す。
図5のフロイントリヒ吸着直線は、Fe濃度CV(atoms/cm3)のアルカリ性処理液(1例を除き過酸化水素含有洗浄液)に浸漬して、液Fe濃度と平衡したシリコン基板面あるいは炭化ケイ素基板面の吸着Fe濃度CS(atoms/cm2)との間に下記の一次方程式(式中、mとKは常数であって、mは直線の公配である。)(式1)が成り立ち、
200mm径炭化ケイ素CVDダミーウェーハ(多結晶面)2枚を用い、これら2枚のウェーハの周縁部間に四フッ化エチレン樹脂(PTPE)製シートから切り出した厚さ0.5mm×幅10mmのスペーサを挟み込んで固定し、また、上下にはスペーサの一部を切り取って形成された開口部を設け、両ウェーハ間のスリット間隙内にアルカリ性処理液の試験液を導入してウェーハ内面における吸着性能を調べるための試験用吸着板積層体を調製した。この試験用吸着板積層体を用い、先ず、過酸化水素入り希フッ酸でスリット間隙内を洗浄し、リンスした後に窒素ガスを流して乾燥し、次に、スリット間隙内に試験液(室温のCOPO洗浄液に所定量の放射性59Feを添加して調製したもの)を導入し、そのまま試験液を1分保持し、その後に排出させ、回収された試験液の放射能を測定し、試験液中に残存した放射性59Feの残存率を求めた。
75mm径の2枚の炭化ケイ素単結晶(6H)ウェーハを用い、これらウェーハの鏡面について予め原子間力顕微鏡(AFM)像を求めた後、鏡面を向い合せに配置し、先のFe吸着精製実験の場合と同様にして、0.5mm隙間のスリット間隙を有する実施例1の吸着板積層体を形成した。
炭化ケイ素ウェーハに代えて2枚の200mm径Siウェーハを用い、液接触容器具として上記のFe吸着精製実験で調製したものを利用したほかは、実施例1と同様にしてFe吸着精製実験を行なった。
実施例1も本比較例1も共にS/V=40であったが、本比較例1の場合には除去率が80%に達しなかった。また、スリット間隙内に放射化していない試験液)を30時間放置する化学薬品耐性評価実験において、Siウェーハ面には肉眼で著しい面荒れが観察された。
前記実施例1の知見に基づいて、アルカリ性処理液の吸着精製手段として、図1(a)~図1(c)に示す吸着板積層体1を構成した。この吸着板積層体1は、レーザー加工により厚さ0.6mmのCVD多結晶ダミーウェーハ(K≒0.3、表裏共に良好な親水性)から100mm×102mmの大きさに切り出された11枚1組の薄板状の吸着板2と、これらの吸着板2を互いに所定の間隔(通常0.8~3.0mm、好ましくは1~2mm)で、互いに平行で、かつ互いに相対面した状態で保持するフッ素樹脂(PTFE)製の保持カセット3とで構成されている。そして、この保持カセット3は、吸着板積層体1の搬送や位置決めを行なう図示外のロボットアームとの連結用凹部6を有するカセット天井部4と、このカセット天井部4の両端から垂下され、互いに相対面する内面側にそれぞれ11本の吸着板固定溝7を有する一対のカセットアーム部5とで構成されており、また、上記11枚の吸着板2は、その両縁部が各カセットアーム部5の吸着板固定溝7内に嵌合された状態で、保持カセット3に固定されている。この実施例2において、上記各カセットアーム部5に形成された11本の吸着板固定溝7は、その深さが約1mmで、その間隔が2mmに設定されており、各吸着板2が保持カセット3に固定された状態で、各吸着板2は、互いに2mmの間隔を置いて互いに100mm×100mmの面積で相対面するようになっている。
このようにして再生された吸着板積層体1は、再び精製装置10の被精製液洗浄領域11において、被精製液Lqの吸着精製のために繰り返し利用される。
吸着板積層体1の構成としては、各吸着板2間の間隔を2mmとし、被精製液Lqとして放射性59Fe濃度100pptの4wt%-コリン水溶液を用い、吸着精製槽14内には300mLの被精製液Lqを仕込み、各吸着板2と被精製液Lqとの接触所定時間を1分間とし、吸着板積層体1の再生操作を行って4次の吸着精製操作まで繰り返した。
単結晶原料の粒径0.2~1.2mmの高純度炭化ケイ素粒(太平洋ランダム社製GNF-CVD)を吸着精製剤として使うため、コリン原液と硝酸の夫々数日の浸漬予備洗浄の後、内径20mm長さ約120mmのフッ素樹脂製カラムに60gを充填(見かけ容積約30mL)して、吸着剤充填カラムを構成した。カラムは先ず7wt%-硝酸水溶液から、超純水、2wt%-フッ酸・1wt%-過酸化水素水溶液、超純水の順に夫々500mLを通液させた後、試験液の精製実験に入った。
結果を表3(単位ppt)に示す。
アルカリ性処理液としてCOPO中に500pptのアルミニウム(Al)、カルシウム(Ca)、及びクロム(Cr)と120pptの鉄(Fe)とを添加して被精製液を調製した以外は、上記実施例3と同様にして吸着剤充填カラムによる吸着精製を行い、カラム通液前後の金属不純物をICP質量分析で分析した。
結果を表4(単位ppt)に示す。
アルカリ性処理液としてFe濃度37ppt及びCa濃度17pptの4wt%-コリン水溶液(被精製液)を使用し、2000mLまで多数回通液した以外は、上記実施例3と同様に作業して、吸着剤充填カラムによる吸着精製を行い、カラム通液前後の金属不純物をICPMSで分析し、吸着剤充填カラム内の吸着剤の寿命を調べた。結果を表5(単位ppt)に示す。
シリコン基板面のFe汚染を除く洗浄法としては希フッ酸(DHF)洗浄が一般的である。しかし、文献的には、DHFはFe濃度約1×1010atoms/cm2に壁があり、本発明者が行なったRIトレーサ法による検討では(2~0.5)×1010atoms/cm2にばらついた。本発明者は、シリコンウェーハを濃度0.1%の放射性H18F標識DHFに10分浸漬したところ、18Fの吸着量が平均で1013atoms/cm2に達し、RLG画像からその吸着は欠陥領域に偏在し易いこと知った。18Fの半減期は短いので、その放射能がRLG画像を生じないレベルまで減じたとき、改めて59Feを添加した純水に10分浸漬して、そのウェーハの吸着59FeのRLG画像パターンを前記18Fのパターンと比較したところ、かなり一致した。そこで本発明者は、DHF洗浄ではシリコン面の欠陥にFがまず捕まり、そのFにFeが結合して残存するという仮説に達した。そこでDHF洗浄後のシリコン面残存Feは、本発明による炭化ケイ素で吸着精製したアルカリ過酸化水素洗浄液により、ごく僅かエッチングしてFeをキレート剤で錯イオン化し該液に分散させる手段を講じれば、Feを必要な清常度レベルに到達させ得るとの結論に達した。本実施例では、広く使われてきたRCA方式を基幹とする洗浄シーケンス、即ちSPM(硫酸過酸化水素処理)→SC1→DHF→SC2(塩酸過酸化水素処理)の洗浄装置を意識して、ウェーハ2枚セットの洗浄実験機を作成し、上述したFe清浄化に関する結論を実証した。
オーバーフローリンス(リンス用容器22、DHF処理用容器41等)を挟んでSPM処理用容器20とSC1処理用容器とを並べて、乾燥は乾燥域から枚葉のスピンナに移して行った。2枚処理の被洗浄ウェーハ23の移動は前記した石英ガラス製チャック(図示せず)のハンドルによる手動である。SC1を含めて各容器での洗浄処理は一般的な操作で行なっており、本発明と直接の関係はないのでこのシーケンスの具体的な説明は省略する。炭化ケイ素による吸着精製を組み込んだSC1液循環系の根幹となる循環精製手段は、SC1処理用容器21の下方の弁を開いて被精製処理液(SC1液)の貯蔵容器24内に溜めたSC1液25を三方弁26経由で送液ポンプPにより、上記実施例3に準じて調製された第1の吸着剤充填カラム(以下、「第1のカラム」という。)27に毎分粒容積の半分乃至2/3の容量が流れる流速で通液し、三方弁28とパーティクル除去フィルターF経由で精製済処理液(SC1液)の貯蔵容器(加温機構付) 29に送り込む。洗浄に際しては、該容器29下方の弁を開いて容器29内の精製済処理液30を一気にウェーハのセットされたSC1処理用容器21に満し、所定時間洗浄後SC1処理用容器21下方の弁を開いてウェーハから汚染した液を一気に貯蔵容器24に戻す。SC1処理用容器21内の残液が略無くなったら、改めて精製済処理液の貯蔵容器(加温機構付)29から精製済処理液30を一気に流下させてSC1処理用容器21内を満たすという、SC1液の迅速置換によって投入SC1液の清浄度を十分に活かすことが出来る。ウェーハ面は超親水性になるのでこの置換時に面が乾燥することはない。なお、符号42は乾燥処理領域を示す。
実施例6で用いられた吸着剤充填の第1及び第2のカラム27に代えて、図4に示すように、炭化ケイ素結晶面を有する複数の吸着板2が積層された吸着板積層体(吸着精製手段)1を使用したものであり、アルカリ性処理液は、この吸着板積層体1の各吸着板2の間隙に通液して精製される。
