- the condensing lens 15 is configured to correct aberration due to the refractive index of the single crystal member 10. Specifically, as shown in FIG. 1, in the present embodiment, the condensing lens 15 is configured such that when the condensing lens 15 condenses in the air, the laser light that has reached the outer peripheral portion E of the condensing lens 15 is condensed. The laser beam is corrected so as to be condensed on the condensing lens side with respect to the laser light reaching the central portion M. That is, when the light is condensed, the condensing point EP of the laser light reaching the outer peripheral portion E of the condensing lens 15 is condensed compared to the condensing point MP of the laser light reaching the central portion M of the condensing lens 15. The correction is made so that the position is close to the lens 15.
- the condensing lens 15 includes a first lens 16 that condenses in the air, and a second lens 18 disposed between the first lens 16 and the single crystal member 10. .
- Both the first lens 16 and the second lens 18 are lenses capable of condensing laser light in a conical shape.
- the depth (interval) D from the surface 10t (irradiated side surface) of the single crystal member 10 on the side irradiated with the laser beam B to the modified layer 12 is mainly set to the first lens 16 and the surface 10t. It is the structure adjusted with the distance L1. Further, the thickness T of the modified layer 12 is adjusted mainly by the distance L2 between the second lens 18 and the surface 10t.
- aberration correction in the air is mainly performed by the first lens 16, and aberration correction in the single crystal member 10 is mainly performed by the second lens 18.
- the distances L1 and L2 are set.
- the first lens 16 in addition to a spherical or aspherical single lens, a combination lens can be used to correct various aberrations and ensure a working distance, and the NA is 0.3 to 0.7. It is preferable.
- the NA of the condensing lens 15 in the air defined by the light and its condensing point EP is preferably 0.3 to 0.85, and more preferably 0.5 to 0.85.
- the thickness of the modified layer 12 is not necessary, it is possible to dispose only one lens instead of the first lens 16 and the second lens 18. In that case, it is preferable to have a structure capable of correcting aberrations in the single crystal member.
- the size of the single crystal member 10 is not particularly limited, it is preferable that the surface 10t irradiated with the laser beam B is flattened in advance, for example, made of a thick silicon wafer of ⁇ 300 mm.
- the laser beam B is irradiated not on the peripheral surface of the single crystal member 10 but on the surface 10t from the irradiation device (not shown) through the condenser lens 15.
- the laser beam B is composed of, for example, a pulse laser beam having a pulse width of 1 ⁇ s or less, and a wavelength of 900 nm or more, preferably 1000 nm or more is selected.

- the laser beam B preferably has a wavelength of light transmittance of 1 to 80% when the single crystal substrate 10 is irradiated to a single crystal substrate having a thickness of 0.625 mm.
- a single crystal substrate of silicon since laser light having a wavelength of 800 nm or less has a large absorption, only the surface is processed and the internal modified layer 12 cannot be formed.
- a wavelength of 900 nm or more, preferably 1000 nm or more is selected.
- a CO 2 laser with a wavelength of 10.64 ⁇ m has a light transmittance that is too high, so that it is difficult to process a single crystal substrate. Therefore, a YAG fundamental wave laser is preferably used.
- the reason why the wavelength of the laser beam B is preferably 900 nm or more is that if the wavelength is 900 nm or more, the laser beam B is improved in the transmittance of the single crystal substrate made of silicon, and the modified layer 12 is reliably provided inside the single crystal substrate. It is because it can form. Laser light B is applied to the peripheral portion of the surface of the single crystal substrate or from the central portion of the surface of the single crystal substrate toward the peripheral portion.
- Modified layer formation process As a process of forming the modified layer 12 in the single crystal member 10 by relatively moving the condenser lens 15 and the single crystal member 10, for example, the single crystal member 10 is placed on an XY stage (not shown).

- the single crystal layer 10 u and the single crystal portion 10 d are formed by dividing the single crystal member 10 by the modified layer 12.
- laser beam deflecting means such as a galvanometer mirror or a polygon mirror may be used, and laser light scanning within the irradiation area of the condenser lens 15 may be used in combination.
- the laser beam B is focused on the surface 10t on the irradiated side of the single crystal member 10, that is, the surface 10t of the single crystal layer 10u. A mark indicating the region is attached, and then the single crystal member 10 is cut (cleaved) based on this mark, and the peripheral portion of the modified layer 12 is exposed and the single crystal layer 10u is peeled off as described later. May be performed.
- a large number of cracks 12c parallel to the irradiation axis BC of the laser beam B are formed as shown in FIG.
- the size, density, and the like of the crack 12c to be formed are preferably set in consideration of the material of the single crystal member 10 and the like from the viewpoint of easily peeling the single crystal layer 10u from the modified layer 12.
- the inner modified layer forming single crystal member 11 is cleaved so as to cross the region to be processed by the laser beam B, that is, the modified layer 12, and a cleavage plane (for example, 14a in FIGS. 3 and 5).
- -D may be confirmed by observing with a scanning electron microscope or a confocal microscope.
- a Y stage is fed under the same irradiation conditions to a single crystal member (for example, a silicon wafer) of the same material. It may be easily confirmed by performing linear processing inside the member at intervals of 6 to 50 ⁇ m, cleaving across the member, and observing the cleavage plane.
- the modified layer 12 and the single crystal layer 10u are separated.
- the modified layer 12 is exposed on the side wall of the internal modified layer forming single crystal member 11.
- cleavage is performed along a predetermined crystal plane of the single crystal portion 10d and the single crystal layer 10u.
- FIG. 5 a structure in which the modified layer 12 is sandwiched between the single crystal layer 10u and the single crystal portion 10d is obtained.
- the surface 10t of the single crystal layer 10u is a surface on the side irradiated with the laser beam B.
- the exposure work is omitted. It is possible.
- metal substrates 28u and 28d are bonded to the upper and lower surfaces of the internal modified layer forming single crystal member 11, respectively. That is, the metal substrate 28u is bonded to the surface 10t of the single crystal layer 10u with the adhesive 34u, and the metal substrate 28d is bonded to the surface 10b of the single crystal portion 10d with the adhesive 34d.

- the oxide layer 29u is bonded to the surface 10t
- the oxide layer 29d is bonded to the surface 10b.
- a SUS peeling auxiliary plate is used as the metal substrates 28u and 28d.
- the adhesive an adhesive that is used in a normal semiconductor manufacturing process and is used as a so-called wax for fixing a commercially available silicon ingot is used.
- the adhesive bonded with this adhesive is immersed in water, the adhesive strength of the adhesive is reduced, so that the adhesive and the adherend (single crystal layer 10u) can be easily separated.
- the metal substrate 28u is attached to the surface 10t of the single crystal layer 10u with a temporary fixing adhesive, and the metal substrate 28u is lined and peeled by applying a force.
- the adhesive strength of the temporary fixing adhesive only needs to be stronger than the force necessary for peeling at the interface 11u between the modified layer 12 and the single crystal layer 10u.
- the size and density of the crack 12c to be formed may be adjusted.
- the temporary fixing adhesive for example, an adhesive made of an acrylic two-component monomer component that cures using metal ions as a reaction initiator is used.
- the uncured monomer and the cured reaction product are water-insoluble, it is possible to prevent the peeling surface 10f (for example, the peeling surface of the silicon wafer) of the single crystal layer 10u exposed when peeling in water from being contaminated. .
- the coating thickness of the temporary fixing adhesive is preferably 0.1 to 1 mm, more preferably 0.15 to 0.35 mm before curing. If the application thickness of the temporary fixing adhesive is excessively large, it takes a long time to be completely cured, and cohesive failure of the temporary fixing adhesive is likely to occur when the single crystal member (silicon wafer) is cleaved. . Moreover, when application

Description
まず、第1実施形態について説明する。図1は、本実施形態で、レーザ集光手段により空気中でレーザ光を集光したことを説明する模式的鳥瞰図であり、図2は、本実施形態で、レーザ集光手段により単結晶部材内部にレーザ光を集光したことを説明する模式的鳥瞰図である。図3は、本実施形態に係る単結晶基板製造方法および内部改質層形成単結晶部材11を説明する模式的断面構造である。図4は、レーザ光の照射により単結晶部材内部にクラック12cが形成されていることを示す模式的断面図である。図5は、内部改質層形成単結晶部材11の側壁に、レーザ光の集光によって形成された改質層12を露出させたことを示す模式的斜視断面図である。
集光レンズ15と単結晶部材10とを相対的に移動させて単結晶部材10内部に改質層12を形成する工程としては、例えば、単結晶部材10をXYステージ(図示せず)上に載置し、真空チャック、静電チャックなどでこの単結晶部材10を保持する。
この後、改質層12と単結晶層10uとの剥離を行う。本実施形態では、まず、内部改質層形成単結晶部材11の側壁に改質層12を露出させる。露出させるには、例えば、単結晶部10d、単結晶層10uの所定の結晶面に沿ってへき開する。この結果、図5に示すように、単結晶層10uと単結晶部10dとによって改質層12が挟まれた構造のものが得られる。なお、単結晶層10uの表面10tはレーザ光Bの被照射側の面である。
本発明者は、単結晶部材10として鏡面研磨した単結晶のシリコンウェハ10(厚み625μm)を準備した。そして、実施例1として、このシリコンウェハ10をXYステージに載置し、シリコンウェハ10のレーザ光の被照射側の表面10tからの0.34mmの距離に、第2レンズ18として第2平凸レンズ18を配置した。この第2平凸レンズ18は、曲率半径7.8mm、厚み3.8mm、屈折率1.58のレンズである。また、第1レンズ16としてNAが0.55の第1平凸レンズ16を配置した。
また、本発明者は、試験例1で用いたシリコンウェハ10と同様のシリコンウェハを用い、実施例1の実施条件で改質層12を形成してなる内部改質層形成単結晶部材11を製造した。そして、金属製基板28u、28dを用いて単結晶層10uを剥離し、単結晶基板10sを得た。この単結晶基板10sの剥離面10fをレーザ共焦点顕微鏡で観察したところ、図14に示す計測図が得られ、粒径50~100μmの凹凸が剥離面10fに形成されていることが確認された。ここで、図14では、横軸が凹凸寸法(μm表示)であり、縦軸が表面粗さ(%表示)である。
(実施例4)
本発明者は、単結晶部材10として両面を鏡面研磨した単結晶のシリコンウェハ10(厚み625μm)を準備した。そして、実施例4として、このシリコンウェハ10をXYステージに載置し、波長1064nmのパルスレーザ光を照射し、一辺が5mmの平面視正方形状の改質層12を形成した。そして、このシリコンウェハ(内部改質層形成単結晶部材)をへき開することで改質層12の断面を露出させ、この断面を走査型電子顕微鏡で観察した。改質層12の厚みTは30μmであった。
また、本発明者は、実施例4で用いたシリコンウェハと同様のシリコンウェハを用い、以下のようにして比較例の試験を行った。図16は、本比較例で、レーザ集光手段により空気中でレーザ光を集光したことを説明する模式的鳥瞰図である。比較例では、実施例4に比べ、レーザ集光手段として、集光レンズ15に代えて集光レンズ115が配置されている。本比較例で用いるこの集光レンズ115は、平凸レンズである第1レンズ116と、第1レンズ116とシリコンウェハ100表面との間に配置された収差増強用のガラス板118と、で構成される。この収差増強用のガラス板118をこのように配置することによって、被照射体であるシリコンウェハ100の表面にレーザスポットSPを形成するレーザ光Bは、シリコンウェハ表面100tで屈折されてレーザ光としてシリコンウェハ内部に進入し、シリコンウェハ内部に集光点を結ぶ際に、所定の深さ位置および幅を有する像を結ぶことになる。すなわち、シリコンウェハ内部に改質層112(加工領域)を所定の深さ位置に所定の厚みVで形成することができる。ここで収差増強用のガラス板118によって収差が増強されているので、この所定の厚みVは、実施例4の改質層12の厚みTよりも大きくなる。
次に、第2実施形態について説明する。図17は、本実施形態に係る単結晶基板製造方法および内部改質層形成単結晶部材を説明する上で用いる単結晶部材内部加工装置の模式的鳥瞰図である。
