Description

シリコン基板の研磨Polishing of silicon substrate
 本開示は、シリコン基板の研磨に関し、シリコン基板の研磨速度と研磨後の基板の表面品質の調整方法に関する。 This disclosure relates to the polishing of a silicon substrate, the polishing speed of the silicon substrate, and the method of adjusting the surface quality of the substrate after polishing.
 近年、半導体メモリの高記録容量化に対する要求の高まりから半導体装置のデザインルールは微細化が進んでいる。このため半導体装置の製造過程で行われるフォトリソグラフィーにおいて焦点深度は浅くなり、シリコン基板(ベアウェーハ)の欠陥低減や平滑性に対する要求はますます厳しくなっている。 In recent years, the design rules for semiconductor devices have been miniaturized due to the increasing demand for higher recording capacities in semiconductor memories. For this reason, the depth of focus becomes shallow in photolithography performed in the manufacturing process of semiconductor devices, and the demand for defect reduction and smoothness of silicon substrates (bare wafers) is becoming more and more strict.
 シリコン基板の品質を向上する目的で、シリコン基板の研磨は多段階で行われている。特に研磨の最終段階で行われる仕上げ研磨は、表面粗さ(ヘイズ)の抑制と研磨後のシリコン基板表面のぬれ性向上(親水化)によるパーティクルやスクラッチ、ピット等の表面欠陥(LPD:Light point defects)の抑制とを目的として行われている。 For the purpose of improving the quality of the silicon substrate, the silicon substrate is polished in multiple stages. In particular, finish polishing, which is performed at the final stage of polishing, suppresses surface roughness (haze) and improves the wettability (hydrophilization) of the silicon substrate surface after polishing, resulting in surface defects (LPD: Light point) such as particles, scratches, and pits. It is done for the purpose of suppressing defects).
 シリコン基板表面について許容される表面欠陥のサイズは年々小さくなっており、通常この欠陥はレーザー光を基板表面に照射しそのときの散乱光を検出することで測定している。そのため、より微細な欠陥を測定するためには、シリコン基板の表面粗さ(ヘイズ)を低減し、欠陥測定時のS/N比を向上させなければならない。 The size of surface defects allowed on the surface of a silicon substrate is decreasing year by year, and these defects are usually measured by irradiating the surface of the substrate with laser light and detecting the scattered light at that time. Therefore, in order to measure finer defects, it is necessary to reduce the surface roughness (haze) of the silicon substrate and improve the S / N ratio at the time of defect measurement.

 本開示は、一態様において、シリコン基板の仕上げ研磨を行う仕上げ研磨工程2と、該仕上げ研磨工程2よりも前の研磨工程である仕上げ研磨工程1とを備え、該仕上げ研磨工程1と該仕上げ研磨工程2とがこの順で行われるシリコン基板の研磨方法であって、仕上げ研磨工程1及び2において使用される研磨液組成物は、pKaが5以上8.5以下であるアミノ基含有水溶性高分子化合物(成分A)及びノニオン性水溶性高分子化合物(成分B)からなる群から選ばれる少なくとも一方の成分を含有し、該仕上げ研磨工程1では、該研磨液組成物はシリカ粒子(成分C)を含有し、成分A及び成分Bの合計含有量に対する成分Aの含有量の割合が50質量%以上の研磨液組成物で研磨し、該仕上げ研磨工程2では、成分A及び成分Bの合計含有量に対する成分Bの含有量の割合が50質量%以上の研磨液組成物で研磨するシリコン基板の研磨方法(以下、「本開示の研磨方法」ともいう。)に関する。 The present disclosure comprises, in one embodiment, a finish polishing step 2 for performing a finish polishing of a silicon substrate, and a finish polishing step 1 which is a polishing step prior to the finish polishing step 2, the finish polishing step 1 and the finishing.

 本開示は、一態様において、本開示の調整方法、又は、本開示の研磨方法を行うことを含む、半導体基板の製造方法に関する。 The present disclosure relates to, in one aspect, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor substrate, which comprises performing the adjusting method of the present disclosure or the polishing method of the present disclosure.
 表面欠陥等を低減するために、仕上げ研磨に用いられる研磨液には、より粒径の小さいコロイダルシリカが用いられ、研磨速度が遅くなる傾向にあり、研磨速度の向上に課題がある。
 しかし、特開2004-128089号公報及び特開2008-53415号公報の研磨液組成物を用いた研磨では、研磨速度が十分とはいえない。
 また、特開2015-185672号公報、特開2015-185674号公報、特開2016-4953号公報、特開2017-183478号公報、及び、国際公開第2017/169154号のシリコン基板を多段階で行う研磨方法は、いずれも表面平滑性の向上や微小欠陥の発生抑制といった高品位の研磨表面を達成することを目的としており、研磨速度に関する言及はない。
In order to reduce surface defects and the like, colloidal silica having a smaller particle size is used as the polishing liquid used for finish polishing, and the polishing speed tends to be slow, and there is a problem in improving the polishing speed.
However, it cannot be said that the polishing speed is sufficient in the polishing using the polishing liquid compositions of JP-A-2004-128089 and JP-A-2008-53415.
Further, the silicon substrates of JP-A-2015-185672, JP-A-2015-185674, JP-A-2016-4953, JP-A-2017-183478, and International Publication No. 2017/169154 are used in multiple stages. All of the polishing methods to be performed are aimed at achieving a high-quality polished surface such as improvement of surface smoothness and suppression of generation of minute defects, and there is no mention of polishing speed.
 本開示は、シリコン基板の研磨速度と研磨後の基板の表面品質とを調整できる方法を提供する。 The present disclosure provides a method capable of adjusting the polishing speed of a silicon substrate and the surface quality of the substrate after polishing.
 本開示によれば、一態様において、シリコン基板の研磨において、研磨速度と、研磨後の基板表面品質(例えば、基板表面粗さ(ヘイズ))とを向上することができる。 According to the present disclosure, in one aspect, in polishing a silicon substrate, the polishing speed and the surface quality of the substrate after polishing (for example, the surface roughness (haze) of the substrate) can be improved.
 本開示の効果発現機構の詳細は明らかではないが、以下のように推察される。
 5以上8.5以下のpKaを有するアミノ基含有水溶性高分子(成分A)は、カチオン性が低く、シリカ粒子(成分C)や被研磨シリコン基板に対し、アミノ基との静電相互作用よりも、主要因として分子全体のファンデルワールス力で吸着することでシリカ砥粒、シリコン基板間の静電斥力を抑制する。そのため静電相互作用に由来するシリカの凝集によるスクラッチ等の表面欠陥を新規に発生させることなく、高研磨速度を発現することで粗研磨工程由来の表面粗さの低減や表面欠陥の除去ができる。
 一方、ノニオン性水溶性高分子(成分B)はシリコン基板表面に吸着し、アルキレンオキサイドや水酸基などの親水基がシリコン基板表面に張り出すことで、アルカリによる過剰な腐食抑制とシリカ砥粒の接近を抑制する効果、すなわち、研磨後の基板表面品質を向上(例えば、ヘイズの低減等)の効果をもつ。
 両成分は主要因としてファンデルワールス力で吸着すると考えられ、その吸着力は同程度を考えられるために、お互いの吸着を阻害することなく、研磨液中の成分Aと成分Bの比率に応じて、シリカ粒子(成分C)や被研磨シリコン基板に吸着する。
 その結果、成分Aの研磨速度を向上する効果と成分Bの表面品質を向上する効果を阻害することなく、吸着量の割合、すなわち、成分Aと成分Bの比率に応じて、成分Aの効果と成分Bの効果を発現し、基板の研磨速度と表面品質を自由に調整することができると考えられる。
 ただし、本開示はこれらのメカニズムに限定して解釈されなくてもよい。
The details of the effect manifestation mechanism of the present disclosure are not clear, but it is inferred as follows.
The amino group-containing water-soluble polymer (component A) having a pKa of 5 or more and 8.5 or less has low cationicity, and has an electrostatic interaction with the amino group on the silica particles (component C) and the silicon substrate to be polished. Rather, it suppresses the electrostatic repulsive force between the silica abrasive grains and the silicon substrate by adsorbing with the van der Waals force of the whole molecule as the main factor. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the surface roughness derived from the rough polishing process and remove the surface defects by developing a high polishing rate without newly generating surface defects such as scratches due to the aggregation of silica derived from the electrostatic interaction. ..
On the other hand, the nonionic water-soluble polymer (component B) is adsorbed on the surface of the silicon substrate, and hydrophilic groups such as alkylene oxides and hydroxyl groups overhang on the surface of the silicon substrate, thereby suppressing excessive corrosion by alkali and approaching silica abrasive grains. That is, it has the effect of improving the surface quality of the substrate after polishing (for example, reducing haze).
It is thought that both components are adsorbed by van der Waals force as the main factor, and since the adsorption force is considered to be about the same, it does not interfere with the adsorption of each other and depends on the ratio of component A and component B in the polishing liquid. Then, it is adsorbed on the silica particles (component C) and the silicon substrate to be polished.
As a result, the effect of the component A depends on the ratio of the adsorption amount, that is, the ratio of the component A and the component B, without impairing the effect of improving the polishing rate of the component A and the effect of improving the surface quality of the component B. It is considered that the effect of component B can be exhibited and the polishing speed and surface quality of the substrate can be freely adjusted.
However, the present disclosure may not be construed as being limited to these mechanisms.
