Definitions
- the present invention relates to a silicon wafer evaluation method and an etching solution thereof, and more specifically, an evaluation method for detecting crystal defects that degrade the electrical characteristics of a semiconductor device by selectively etching the surface of the silicon wafer, and It relates to the etching solution.
- Patent Document 1 contains potassium dichromate at the stage where the surface of a wafer cut out from a silicon single crystal ingot is mirror-etched with a mixed solution of hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid (this stage wafer is called a mirror-etched wafer).
- Patent Document 1 contains potassium dichromate at the stage where the surface of a wafer cut out from a silicon single crystal ingot is mirror-etched with a mixed solution of hydrofluoric acid and nitric acid (this stage wafer is called a mirror-etched wafer).
- a method of selectively etching a crystal defect portion by dipping in a SECCO solution is disclosed. According to this method, a defective portion on the surface of the wafer appears as a ripple pattern (flow pattern), and the wafer can be easily evaluated without producing a polished wafer (at the stage of a mirror-etched wafer).
- Patent Document 2 discloses that FPD observation shows a capability equivalent to that of secco solution, and selectively etches a mirror-etched wafer using a chromium-less etching solution that does not use potassium dichromate, which is a harmful substance. A method for detecting the above has been proposed.
- LEP is visually observed by an operator through an optical microscope and counted. For this reason, LEP has a very low density, and it is not easy to find LEP by paying attention only to the shape of an ellipse.
- the chromeless etching solution disclosed in Patent Document 2 is effective for FPD observation but has low sensitivity with respect to LEP. That is, since LEP is a micro-dislocation defect, even when selective etching is performed with a conventional chromeless etchant, the size of the elliptical shape is as small as several ⁇ m and observation is not easy.
- an object of the present invention is to provide a silicon wafer evaluation method and an etching solution thereof that can easily observe LEP.
- the silicon wafer evaluation method of the present invention is such that the volume ratio of hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid and water in the etching solution is (400) :( 5-10) :( 10-50):
- the silicon wafer is immersed in an etching solution of (80 to 120) and containing iodine or iodide to selectively etch crystal defect portions and detect LEP.
- an etching solution having a volume ratio of hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid and water of (400) :( 5-10) :( 10-50) :( 80-120) and containing iodine or iodide is prepared. Therefore, the LEP of a silicon wafer made of a single crystal grown at a low speed can be evaluated without using a Secco solution containing a harmful substance (chromium) that has a strong influence on the global environment and human body.
- LEP which is observed only as an elliptical shape in the conventional etching solution, has an elliptical pattern having a ripple pattern (flow pattern) in the same manner as FPD in the majority of all LEPs.

- the FPD does not form a clear flow pattern, and only the LEP is easily observed.
- the volume ratio of nitric acid is 5-10.
- the volume ratio of nitric acid is less than 5, the shape of the flow pattern may not be clear.
- the sharpness improves as the volume ratio of nitric acid increases, but when the volume ratio of nitric acid exceeds 10, surface roughness of the wafer surface may occur very strongly.
- the etching rate is faster than when the etching solution of Patent Document 2 is used, so the size of the LEP (elliptical shape) can be increased and the shape of the flow pattern is also compared. Observed clearly and vividly. Therefore, by the evaluation method of the present invention, a flow pattern having a good shape can be clearly formed in the crystal defect portion of the surface layer of the silicon wafer, and LEP can be detected with high sensitivity.

- iodine or iodide is added to the etching solution in this way is that it is effective in preventing the occurrence of stains (stain film) adhering to the wafer surface. By preventing the occurrence of a stain film, the flow pattern can be confirmed clearly and stably, leading to a reduction in reaction start time and a uniform etching allowance, thereby improving evaluation accuracy.

- Good it can be evaluated by omitting the cylindrical polishing process of the grown silicon single crystal ingot and slicing it, omitting the etching to remove polishing distortion, and performing mirror etching, so an evaluation sample can be obtained in a very short process.
- the silicon wafer can be evaluated.
- the etch-off amount of the silicon wafer by the etching is preferably 3 to 50 ⁇ m on both sides.

- LEP can be accurately evaluated by setting the etch-off amount, that is, the thickness of the silicon wafer removed by etching to 3 to 50 ⁇ m. If the etch-off amount is less than 3 ⁇ m, the density of LEP is too low to perform accurate evaluation. On the other hand, if the etch-off amount exceeds 50 ⁇ m, the LEP shape at the initial stage of etching may be lost, and the LEP density may be too high to perform accurate evaluation.

- the immersion start temperature 10 to 30 ° C.
- the immersion start temperature is less than 10 ° C.
- the progress of etching is slow and the detection sensitivity is lowered.
- the immersion start temperature exceeds 30 ° C.
- the etching rate is high, and the liquid temperature rises accordingly, the etching progresses remarkably fast, the shape of the etching pattern collapses and the density becomes too high to be detected. Sometimes it becomes.
- the etching solution of the present invention is an etching solution used for detecting LEP of a silicon wafer, and the etching solution contains hydrofluoric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid and water (400): (5 to 10): (10 to 50): (80 to 120), and iodine or iodide is contained in an amount of 0.03 g or more per liter of the total amount of the etching solution. .
