Definitions
- the present invention relates to a substrate processing method for processing a substrate and a substrate processing apparatus for processing a substrate.
- Substrates to be processed include, for example, semiconductor wafers, FPD (Flat Panel Display) substrates such as liquid crystal display devices and organic EL (Electroluminescence) display devices, optical disk substrates, magnetic disk substrates, and magneto-optical disk substrates. , photomask substrates, ceramic substrates, solar cell substrates, and the like.
- FPD Full Panel Display
- organic EL Electrode
- Photomask substrates ceramic substrates, solar cell substrates, and the like.
- Patent Document 1 a treatment liquid supplied to the main surface of a substrate is solidified or hardened to form a treatment film, and the treatment film is peeled off from the main surface of the substrate with a stripping solution, thereby removing the treatment film together with the treatment film.
- Substrate processing to remove material is disclosed.
- the treated film of Patent Document 1 contains a first component and a second component (polymer) having lower solubility in the stripping solution than the first component.

- step S12 a spin dry process is performed to dry the upper surface of the substrate W by rotating the substrate W at high speed. Specifically, the rinse liquid valve 51A is closed. As a result, the supply of the rinse liquid to the upper surface of the substrate W is stopped.
- the rotation driving member 23 accelerates the rotation of the substrate W to rotate the substrate W at high speed.
- the substrate W is rotated at a drying speed, eg 1500 rpm.
- a large centrifugal force acts on the rinse liquid on the substrate W, and the rinse liquid on the substrate W is shaken off around the substrate W.
- the rotation drive member 23 stops the rotation of the substrate W.
- the transport robot CR After the rotation of the substrate W stops, the transport robot CR enters the processing unit 2, scoops the processed substrate W from the spin chuck 5, and carries it out of the processing unit 2 (substrate carry-out process: step S13).
- the substrate W is transferred from the transport robot CR to the transport robot IR and stored in the carrier C by the transport robot IR.
- FIGS. 6A to 6H are schematic diagrams for explaining the state of the vicinity of the upper surface of the substrate W during substrate processing.
- FIG. 6A shows the state of the top surface of the substrate W before substrate processing is performed.
- Objects to be removed 103 such as particles adhere to the upper surface of the substrate W before the substrate processing is performed.
- the particle size R of the object to be removed 103 is, for example, 15 nm.
- the hydrophilic film 100 formed in the hydrophilic film forming step (step S3) adheres to the upper surface of the substrate W, as shown in FIG. 6B.
- a thickness T1 of the hydrophilic film 100 is, for example, 20 nm or more and 30 nm or less, and is usually larger than the particle size R of the removal target 103 .
- the thickness T1 of the hydrophilic film 100 is the width of the hydrophilic film 100 in the direction orthogonal to the upper surface of the substrate W.
- the thickness T1 of the hydrophilic film 100 on the side surface of the structure constituting the circuit pattern is the width of the hydrophilic film 100 in the direction crossing the thickness direction of the substrate W. be. The same applies to thicknesses T2 and T3 described below.
- the thickness T2 of the hydrophilic film 100 after the film thickness reduction step (step S4) is performed is smaller than the particle size R of the object to be removed 103, for example, 1 ⁇ or more and 10 ⁇ or less, as shown in FIG. 6C. be.
- the object to be removed 103 is exposed from the surface of the hydrophilic film 100 .
- the thickness of the hydrophilic film 100 By setting the thickness of the hydrophilic film 100 to a thickness T ⁇ b>2 smaller than the particle size of the object to be removed 103 , most of the surface of the object to be removed 103 can be exposed from the surface of the hydrophilic film 100 .
- the thickness T3 of the treatment film 101 formed in the treatment film forming step (step S3) is larger than the grain size R of the removal target 103, and is, for example, 100 nm or more and 200 nm or less.
- the treatment film 101 holds the object to be removed 103 as shown in FIG. 6D.
- Holding the object to be removed 103 means physically holding the object to be removed 103 inside the treatment film 101 and holding the object to be removed 103 in the treatment film 101 by chemical interaction (for example, intermolecular force or ionic bond). It means that the object 103 to be removed is held by at least one of chemical holding by adsorbing .
- the treated film 101 is not in direct contact with the upper surface of the substrate W, but is formed on the surface of the hydrophilic film 100 formed on the upper surface of the substrate W.
- the treated film 101 contains a solid-state highly soluble component (high-soluble solid 110) and a solid-state low-soluble component (low-soluble solid 111).
- the highly soluble solids 110 and the lowly soluble solids 111 are formed by evaporating at least part of the solvent contained in the treatment film forming liquid.
- the highly soluble solids 110 and the lowly soluble solids 111 are not uniformly dispersed, and the treated film 101 has a relatively large amount of the lowly soluble solids 111 (unevenly distributed). and a portion in which a relatively large amount of highly soluble solids 110 are present (unevenly distributed).
- the highly soluble solid 110 is selectively dissolved by the stripping liquid supplied to the upper surface of the substrate W in the stripping liquid supply step (step S7). That is, the treatment film 101 is partially dissolved (dissolving process, partial dissolving process).
- the highly soluble solids 110 are selectively dissolved does not mean that only the highly soluble solids 110 in the solid state are dissolved; of highly soluble solids 110 are dissolved. Triggered by the selective dissolution of the highly soluble solids 110, through holes 102 are formed as stripping liquid paths in portions of the treatment film 101 where the highly soluble solids 110 are unevenly distributed (through hole forming step).
- the through-hole 102 has a diameter of several nanometers, for example.
- the through-holes 102 do not have to be observably distinct. That is, it is sufficient that the stripping solution path for moving the stripping solution from the surface of the processing film 101 to the upper surface of the substrate W is formed in the processing film 101, and the stripping solution channel as a whole needs only to penetrate the processing film 101. .
- the stripping solution dissolves in the solvent remaining in the treatment film 101 during the treatment.
- the membrane 101 is partially dissolved.
- the exfoliation melts into the solvent remaining in the treatment film 101 and dissolves the highly soluble solid 110 in the treatment film 101 to form the through holes 102 . Therefore, delamination easily enters into the treatment film 101 (dissolution entry step).
- the stripping solution passes through the through holes 102 and reaches the interface between the hydrophilic film 100 and the treatment film 101 (the interface with the low-soluble solid 111).
- the stripping solution that has reached the surface of the hydrophilic film 100 acts on the contact interface between the treatment film 101 and the hydrophilic film 100 to strip the treatment film 101 from the hydrophilic film 100, and the stripped treatment film 101 becomes hydrophilic. It is removed from the film 100 (peeling removal step).
- the solubility of the low-solubility solids 111 in the stripping solution is low, and most of the low-solubility solids 111 are maintained in a solid state. Therefore, the stripping liquid reaching the vicinity of the hydrophilic film 100 through the through-hole 102 slightly dissolves the portion of the low-soluble solid 111 near the hydrophilic film 100 . As a result, as shown in the enlarged view of FIG. 6E , the stripping solution gradually dissolves the low-soluble solids 111 near the hydrophilic film 100 and fills the gap G between the treatment film 101 and the hydrophilic film 100 . It enters (stripping solution entering step).
- the stripping solution dissolves not only the low-soluble solids 111 but also the high-soluble solids 110 in the step of entering the stripping solution. Therefore, the stripping solution is more likely to enter the contact interface between the treatment film 101 and the hydrophilic film 100 than when only the low-solubility solid 111 exists near the contact interface between the hydrophilic film 100 and the treatment film 101 .
- a crack is formed in the treatment film 101 starting from the periphery of the through-hole 102 . Therefore, the highly soluble solid 110 is also called a crack-generating component.
- the treated film 101 splits into film pieces 104 due to the formation of cracks. As shown in FIG. 6F, the film piece 104 of the processing film 101 is separated from the substrate W while holding the object 103 to be removed (processing film splitting process, processing film removing process).
- the treatment film 101 that has become the film piece 104 is washed away with the stripping solution while holding the object 103 to be removed.
- the film piece 104 holding the object to be removed 103 is pushed out of the substrate W and removed from the upper surface of the substrate W (processing film removing process, object to be removed removing process). Thereby, the upper surface of the substrate W can be cleaned satisfactorily.
- the highly soluble solid 110 is dissolved and the treatment film 101 is stripped from the hydrophilic film 100 .
- the removal target 103 is removed together with the treatment film 101 by the stripping solution, while the hydrophilic film 100 is maintained on the upper surface of the substrate W.
- the hydrophilic film 100 on the upper surface of the substrate W is dissolved by the hydrophilic film removing liquid supplied to the upper surface of the substrate W in the hydrophilic film removing liquid supply step (step S10) (hydrophilic film 100). membrane dissolution process).
- the hydrophilic film 100 can be removed from the upper surface of the substrate W as shown in FIG. 6H.
- the upper surface of the substrate W can be pseudo-hydrophilized. Strictly speaking, the properties of the upper surface of the substrate W have not changed. Interposing the hydrophilic film 100 between the treatment film 101 and the upper surface of the substrate W to increase the hydrophilicity of the portion forming the contact interface with the treatment film 101 is referred to as "simulating the upper surface of the substrate W. It becomes hydrophilic to ".
- the stripping solution can pass between the upper surface of the substrate W and the treatment film 101 , more specifically, between the treatment film 101 and the hydrophilic film 100 . It becomes easier to enter the contact interface of Therefore, the processing film 101 holding the object to be removed 103 existing on the upper surface of the substrate W can be peeled off from the upper surface of the substrate W satisfactorily.
- the thickness of the hydrophilic film 100 is reduced by the film thickness reducing liquid (rinse liquid) before the treatment film 101 is separated from the hydrophilic film 100 . Therefore, the object to be removed 103 existing on the upper surface of the substrate W can be exposed well from the hydrophilic film 100 . Therefore, if the treatment film 101 is formed on the surface of the hydrophilic film 100 with a reduced thickness, the object to be removed 103 can be firmly held on the treatment film 101 . Therefore, the object to be removed 103 can be satisfactorily removed together with the treatment film 101 by subsequent supply of the stripping solution.
- the film thickness reducing liquid rinse liquid
- the object to be removed 103 can be satisfactorily removed from the upper surface of the substrate W.
- the hydrophilic film 100 is dissolved by the film thickness reducing liquid so that the thickness T2 of the hydrophilic film 100 is smaller than the particle size R of the removal target 103 . Therefore, the object to be removed 103 can be exposed from the surface of the hydrophilic film 100 more satisfactorily. Therefore, the object to be removed 103 can be more firmly held on the treatment film 101 . Therefore, the object to be removed 103 can be satisfactorily removed together with the treatment film 101 by subsequent supply of the stripping solution.
- the hydrophilic film removing liquid is supplied toward the upper surface of the substrate W after the stripping liquid supplying step. Therefore, since the formation of the hydrophilic film 100 on the upper surface of the substrate W does not change the chemical properties of the upper surface of the substrate W itself, the removal of the hydrophilic film 100 allows the upper surface of the substrate W to be treated before substrate processing. state can be restored. Therefore, after removing the removal target 103, the upper surface of the substrate W can be returned to the state before the formation of the hydrophilic film 100, that is, the hydrophobic surface. As a result, it is possible to save the trouble of restoring the properties of the upper surface of the substrate after finishing the substrate processing.
- the treatment film forming liquid contains a highly soluble component and a low soluble component that is less soluble in the stripping solution than the highly soluble component. Therefore, by supplying the stripping liquid toward the upper surface of the substrate W, the highly soluble solids 110 in the treatment film 101 can be selectively dissolved in the stripping liquid. Therefore, the stripping liquid moves toward the contact interface between the treatment film 101 and the hydrophilic film 100 while selectively dissolving the highly soluble solid 110 . This allows the stripping solution to form stripping solution paths (through holes 102 ) in the treatment film 101 .
- the stripping liquid path After the stripping liquid path is formed by dissolving the highly soluble component, the stripping liquid efficiently reaches the contact interface between the treatment film 101 and the hydrophilic film 100 via the stripping liquid path. This allows the stripping solution to effectively act on the contact interface between the treatment film 101 and the hydrophilic film 100 .
- the low-solubility solids 111 in the treatment film 101 can hold the removal target 103 .
- the processing film 101 can be quickly peeled off from the upper surface of the substrate W, and the removal target object 103 can be efficiently washed away from the upper surface of the substrate W together with the processing film 101 by the flow of the stripping liquid.
- FIG. 7A shows each component (hydrophilic component, low-soluble component, high-soluble component) in the vicinity of the upper surface of the substrate W on which the hydrophilic film 100 and the treated film 101 are formed in the substrate processing described above. It is a schematic diagram for demonstrating a state.
- each component near the upper surface of the substrate W will be described, taking as an example the case where the hydrophilic component, the low-soluble component, and the high-soluble component each have a main chain and a side chain.
- the hydrophilic film 100 contains at least a hydrophilic component 200.
- Hydrophilic component 200 has a main chain 201 and multiple side chains attached to main chain 201 .
- the plurality of side chains includes a plurality of hydrophobic side chains 202 and a plurality of hydrophilic side chains 203 .
- the number of hydrophilic side chains 203 is greater than the number of hydrophobic side chains 202 .
- the treated film 101 contains at least a low-soluble component 211 and a high-soluble component 210 .
- the low-solubility component 211 has a backbone 220 and multiple side chains attached to the backbone 220 .
- the multiple side chains include multiple hydrophobic side chains 221 and multiple hydrophilic side chains 222 .
- the main chain 220 has a phenyl group
- the hydrophobic side chain 221 has a methyl group
- the hydrophilic side chain 222 has a hydroxy group.
- the highly soluble component 210 has a main chain 230 and multiple side chains bonded to the main chain 230 .
- the plurality of side chains includes a plurality of hydrophobic side chains 231 and a plurality of hydrophilic side chains 232 .
- highly soluble component 210 is 2,2-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)propane
- main chain 230 has a phenyl group
- hydrophobic side chain 231 has a methyl group
- hydrophilic side chain 232 has It has a hydroxy group.
- the hydrophilic component 200 has a hydrophobic group (hydrophobic side chain 202) and a hydrophilic group (hydrophilic side chain 203), and has more hydrophilic side chains 203 than the hydrophobic side chains 202, so it is sufficiently hydrophilic. can expose the high surface (the surface of the hydrophilic film 100). Therefore, the hydrophilic side chains 203 of the hydrophilic membrane 100 interact with the hydrophilic side chains 222 of the low-soluble component 211 and the hydrophilic side chains 232 of the high-soluble component 210 in the treatment film 101. . Therefore, a large amount of hydrophilic groups are present at the contact interface between the hydrophilic film 100 and the treated film 101, and not only the low-soluble component 211 but also the high-soluble A soluble component 210 is also present.
- the stripping solution can pass between the upper surface of the substrate W and the treatment film 101, more specifically, the contact interface between the treatment film 101 and the hydrophilic film 100. easier to enter. Therefore, the processing film 101 holding the object to be removed 103 existing on the upper surface of the substrate W can be peeled off from the upper surface of the substrate W satisfactorily.
- hydrophilic component 200 has the hydrophobic side chains 202, interaction can be exerted between the hydrophobic side chains 202 and the hydrophobic surface.
- a large amount of hydrophobic groups are present at the contact interface between the hydrophilic film 100 and the substrate W, making it difficult for the stripping liquid to enter.
- the hydrophilicity of the low-soluble component 211 is lower than that of the hydrophilic component 200. Therefore, when the treatment film 101 is formed on the hydrophobic surface of the substrate W without forming the hydrophilic film 100 as in the substrate treatment of the reference example shown in FIG. and the upper surface of the substrate W have a hydrophobic interaction. The treatment film 101 is held on the upper surface of the substrate W by hydrophobic interaction and is difficult to be peeled off by the peeling liquid.
- the treated film 101 is formed on the surface of the hydrophilic film 100 . That is, it is formed on the surface of the hydrophilic film 100 between the treatment film 101 and the upper surface of the substrate W.
- FIG. Therefore, the hydrophobic interaction between the treatment film 101 and the upper surface of the substrate W can be suppressed. Therefore, the stripping solution can be caused to act satisfactorily on the interface between the treatment film 101 and the hydrophilic film 100, so that the treatment film 101 can be satisfactorily removed. Therefore, by forming the hydrophilic film 100, the treatment film 101 can be removed satisfactorily even if the upper surface of the substrate W is a hydrophobic surface.
- the stripping liquid has a higher affinity for the contact interface between the hydrophilic film 100 and the treatment film 101 than the stripping liquid for the contact interface between the substrate W and the hydrophilic film 100 . Therefore, the stripping solution can suppress stripping of the hydrophilic film 100 from the upper surface of the substrate W and strip the treatment film 101 from the hydrophilic film 100 while maintaining the hydrophilic film 100 on the upper surface of the substrate W. . ⁇ Details of treatment film forming solution> Each component in the treatment forming liquid used in the above embodiment will be described below.
