Definitions
- the present invention relates to a substrate of the semiconductor-on-insulator type comprising a charge trapping layer, the insulating (or dielectric) layer having a relatively large thickness, greater than 200 nm.
- These substrates find a notable application in the field of integrated radiofrequency devices, i.e. electronic devices processing signals whose frequency is between approximately 3 kHz and 300 GHz, for example in the field of telecommunications (telephony, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, etc.). These substrates also find their application in the field of photonics.
- the invention also relates to a method for manufacturing such a substrate.
- This curvature is generally measured by interferometry, for example using equipment of the WaferSightTM type provided by the company KLA.
- the presence of such curvature makes the step of transferring the upper layer of the substrate delicate, and more generally the handling of the support substrate in the production line by conventional equipment. It is generally sought to limit this curvature to less than 60 micrometers or, preferably, to less than 40 micrometers, for a disk-shaped substrate with a diameter of 300 mm.
- the exposed surface of the top layer be very smooth, and have a roughness well below 0.5 nm in root mean square measurement over an atomic force measurement field of 30 micrometers by 30 micrometers.
- Rapid thermal annealing (“rapid thermal anneal” according to the established English expression) consisting of exposing the exposed surface of the upper layer to the annealing atmosphere at temperature for a very short time, less than 2 minutes.
- the neutral or reducing atmosphere of the annealing chamber is abruptly reheated to the treatment temperature which can reach 1200°C, then cooled during heating/cooling ramps which can exceed 50°/s.
- the substrate is held by its rear face in the furnace chamber, on a plurality of points of a support.
- this type of annealing generates dislocation lines or planes at the points of contact of the substrate with the support.
- a long anneal can be applied during the finishing stage of substrate preparation, often referred to as “batch anneal” in the field, because the substrates are generally placed in batches in the furnace chamber, in a horizontal or vertical arrangement.
- the atmosphere in the chamber is gradually raised, in gentle ramps of a few degrees per minute to reach a treatment temperature typically of the order of 1100°C.
- the treatment is continued for an extended period at this temperature, of the order of a few minutes to several hours.
- the gentleness of the ramps limits the thermal stresses undergone by the substrate and limits the appearance of dislocation lines or planes observed at the end of rapid heat treatment.
- the applicant also observed that the roughness of the exposed surface of the upper layer of the substrate tended to degrade with increasing temperature when the dielectric layer (formed by oxidation of the support trapping layer) has a thickness greater than 200 nm. This is revealed on the measurements reported in the graph in the which reports the roughness of the exposed surface of the upper layer (measured by atomic force on a measuring field of 30 micrometers by 30 micrometers) at the center (reference "C") and at the edge (reference "B”), for increasing annealing temperatures. These anneals were carried out on final substrates each having a buried dielectric layer of 400 nm, obtained by oxidation of the trapping layer of the support substrate as previously explained.
- the roughness tends to increase almost exponentially with the annealing temperature. It appears that the stack forming the substrate becomes thermally unstable when the dielectric layer has a significant thickness, greater than 200 nm, this instability leading to a degradation of the state of the free surface of the substrate.
- the finishing heat treatment causes this thermal instability, possibly through stress relaxations stored in this stack, this relaxation manifesting itself on the surface of the upper layer by increased roughness.
- a final substrate of the semiconductor on insulator type comprising a thick dielectric layer, with a thickness greater than 200 nm, having both low roughness (less than the limit indicated in a previous passage) and low curvature, less for example than 60 micrometers and, advantageously, devoid of an excessive quantity of planes or dislocation lines.
- An aim of the invention is to propose a solution to this problem. More specifically, the invention proposes a substrate comprising a thick buried dielectric layer, greater than 2000 nm, which has both low roughness and low curvature. The invention also proposes a method for preparing such a substrate.
- the step of forming the dielectric layer is carried out by high plasma density chemical vapor deposition and the finishing step comprises a first annealing carried out in a neutral or reducing atmosphere at a temperature above 1050°C for a duration of more than 30 minutes.
- this process makes it possible to obtain a final substrate with both reduced curvature and a satisfactory surface condition.
- the invention provides a final substrate comprising, successively in contact with each other, an upper layer of semiconductor material, a dielectric layer having a thickness greater than 200 nm, an electric charge trapping layer and a base substrate.
- the final substrate has an exposed surface of the semiconductor material layer having a roughness of less than 0.3 nm in root mean square measurement over a field of 30 micrometers by 30 micrometers and a curvature of less than 60 micrometers, preferably less than 40 micrometers.
- Figures 4a, 4b, 4c, 4d show a method of preparing a final substrate according to the present invention
- Figures 5a, 5b respectively represent measurements of curvature and roughness carried out during experiments which led to the invention
- a substrate S of an embodiment comprises a base substrate 3, an electric charge trapping layer 2 (referred to as a "trapping layer” in the remainder of this description) provided on the base substrate 3, a dielectric layer 4 provided on and directly in contact with the trapping layer 2, and an upper layer 5 provided on the dielectric layer 4.
- the base substrate 3 provided with the charge trapping layer and the dielectric layer 4 forms a support substrate 1 of the final substrate S.
- the substrate S (and therefore the support substrate 1) can take the form of a wafer, for example in the form of a disk with a diameter of 300 mm.
- the substrate has a curvature of less than 60 micrometers, preferably less than 40 micrometers, to make it compatible with the subsequent stages of component manufacturing.
- the base substrate 3 has a thickness of several hundred microns.
- the base substrate 3 has a high resistivity, greater than 100 or 1000 ohms.cm, and more preferably still greater than 3000 ohms.cm. This limits the density of charges, holes or electrons, which are likely to move in the base substrate 3, and therefore deteriorate the radiofrequency performance of the final substrate S.
- the invention is not limited to a base substrate 3 having such a resistivity, and it also provides RF performance advantages when the base substrate 3 has a more conformal resistivity, less than 1000 ohms.cm, of the order of a few hundred ohms.cm, or 100 ohms.cm or less.
- the base substrate 3 is preferably made of silicon, and in particular of monocrystalline silicon. It may be, for example, a CZ substrate with a low interstitial oxygen content which has, as is well known per se, a resistivity which may be greater than 1000 ohms.cm.
- the base substrate 3 may alternatively be formed from another material: it may be, for example, sapphire, silicon carbide, silicon-germanium, III-V materials, glass, etc.
- the support substrate 1 also comprises a trapping layer 2, arranged on and directly in contact with the base substrate 3.
- the trapping layer 2 has a resistivity greater than 500 ohm.cm and preferably 1000 ohm.cm, and even more preferably greater than 10 kohm.cm.
- the trapping layer has the function of trapping the charge carriers that may be present in the support 1 and of limiting their mobility. This is particularly the case when the substrate S comprises a semiconductor structure emitting an electromagnetic field penetrating into the support substrate 1, and therefore capable of interacting and making these charges mobile.
- the trapping layer 2 has a thickness typically between 1 micron and 15 microns, or even 20 microns.
- the trapping layer 2 may, in general, consist of a non-monocrystalline semiconductor layer having structural defects such as dislocations, grain boundaries, amorphous zones, interstices, inclusions, pores, etc. These structural defects form traps for charges likely to circulate in the material, for example at the level of incomplete or dangling chemical bonds. This prevents conduction in the trapping layer, which consequently has a high resistivity.
- the trapping layer 2 is preferably made of polycrystalline silicon. However, it can be made of or include another semiconducting and polycrystalline material. It is of course possible to provide for forming this charge trapping layer 2 by a technique other than that providing for a layer formed of polycrystalline silicon.
- This layer can also include carbon or be made of or include silicon carbide or an alloy of silicon and carbon, for example in the form of intercalary layers inserted into a thickness of polycrystalline silicon.
- the trapping layer 2 is made of silicon carbide or an alloy of silicon and carbon, its thickness is preferably between a few nm (for example 2 nm) and a few tens of nm (for example 50 nm).
- the electrical traps in layer 2 may involve producing the electrical traps in layer 2 by ion bombardment of relatively heavy species (for example argon) in a surface portion of the base substrate 3 in order to create crystalline defects therein capable of trapping electrical charges.
- a charge trapping layer 2 formed of a porous material, for example by porosification of a surface portion of the base substrate 3 when the latter is made of silicon.
- the trapping layer may also comprise a silicon-rich oxide comprising an atomic concentration of silicon of between 50% and 99.9%. This silicon-rich oxide may also comprise nitrogen. It may also comprise inclusions of crystalline silicon having a size of less than 10 nm, and preferably less than 5 nm. Alternatively, it may be in a polycrystalline form and comprise amorphous inclusions.
- the trapping layer 2 has a high resistivity greater than 500 ohm.cm.
- the trapping layer 2 is not intentionally doped, i.e. it has a charge-carrying dopant concentration of less than 10 E14 atoms per cubic centimeter. It may be rich in nitrogen or carbon in order to improve its resistivity characteristic.
- the support substrate 1 also comprises a dielectric layer 4 directly arranged on the trapping layer 2.
- the dielectric layer 4 may be made of or comprise silicon dioxide or silicon nitride. It may also be a stack of these materials.
- the thickness of the dielectric layer 4 may usually be between 10 nm and 10 microns, but in the context of the present description, this layer has a significant thickness, greater than 200 nm, and preferably between 200 nm and 1000 nm.
- the substrate S comprises an upper layer 5, on and in contact with the dielectric layer 4 of the support substrate 1.
- the thin layer is usually made of monocrystalline silicon, but it could be any other material depending on the nature of the device intended to be formed therein.
- the thin layer 5 can thus be composed of monocrystalline silicon, or any other monocrystalline semiconductor material such as germanium, silicon germanium, silicon carbide.
- this substrate has a low density of dislocation planes or lines. These dislocation planes or lines can be measured by inspection equipment implementing a deflectometry technique, as is for example presented in document US7812942. It is generally sought to minimize the cumulative length of these dislocation planes or lines, for example below the threshold value of 20 mm, which is indeed the case for a substrate according to the invention.
- the support substrate 1 is prepared.
- the manufacture of the trapping layer 2 on the base substrate 3, when it is made of polycrystalline silicon or formed of a silicon-rich oxide, can be carried out with standard deposition equipment in the industry. It can thus be a deposition of the RPCVD type (acronym for the English expression “Remote Plasma enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition” or chemical vapor deposition assisted by remote plasma) or of the PECVD type (acronym for the English expression "Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition” or chemical vapor deposition assisted by plasma).
- the formation of the trapping layer on or in the base substrate 3 can be achieved in many other ways, for example by implantation of heavy species or by porosification of a surface layer of the base substrate 3.
- the formation of a thin dielectric layer on the base substrate 3 may be provided, for example by oxidation or deposition of a thickness of oxide, before forming the trapping layer 2 there.
- the dielectric layer 4 having a thickness greater than 200 nm is formed.
- this dielectric layer 4 can be formed on the side of the support substrate 1 by deposition or by treatment (oxidation for example) of the trapping layer 2. It can also be formed on the side of a so-called "donor" substrate which provides the upper layer 5. According to the present invention, and for reasons which will be made apparent in the remainder of this description, the dielectric layer 4 is not produced on the trapping layer 3, by high density plasma chemical vapor deposition ("High Density Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition" according to the English expression).
- This technique simultaneously implements the deposition and ionic sputtering ("sputtering" according to the English term used in the art) of this dielectric layer 4. It has the advantage in particular of providing a thick and not very rough layer, so that its formation step can be devoid of any smoothing treatment such as polishing.
- the support substrate 1 is available. This support substrate can have a significant curvature, sometimes greater than 60 micrometers when the support substrate 1 is circular in shape and has a diameter of 300 mm.
- the method for preparing the support substrate 1 can also incorporate a step of annealing the dielectric layer 4.
- This annealing is advantageously carried out in a neutral atmosphere. It is carried out at a temperature exceeding the deposition temperature of the dielectric layer 4, and preferably less than 1000°C, for a relatively short duration of less than 1 hour, such as for example 30 minutes.
- this comprises, in a third step which follows the second step, the transfer of the upper layer 5 comprising a semiconductor material onto the dielectric layer 4.
- this transfer can be achieved by assembling a free face of a donor substrate 1' to the support substrate 1, preferably by molecular adhesion.
- the dielectric layer 4 having been previously formed on the support substrate 1, it is not necessary for the donor substrate 1' to itself be provided with such a dielectric layer. It is nevertheless possible to provide for this donor substrate to be provided with a thin thickness of dielectric (for example less than 150 nm).
- the donor substrate is devoid of any intentionally formed dielectric surface layer.
- the nature of the donor substrate 1' is chosen according to the desired nature of the upper layer 5, as the latter has already been described in a previous section of this presentation. It can therefore be a substrate formed from a monocrystalline semiconductor, for example silicon.
- the donor substrate is reduced in thickness to form the upper layer 5, as shown in the .
- This reduction step can be carried out by mechanical and/or chemical thinning.
- the reduction in thickness of the donor substrate 1' is carried out by fracture at a previously introduced weakening plane, for example according to the principles of Smart Cut TM technology.
- the transfer of the upper layer 5 comprises a step of implanting so-called "light" species, for example hydrogen and/or helium ions, in the donor substrate 1' to form a fragile plane there. This fragile plane defines, with the free surface of the donor substrate, the upper layer 5 which will be transferred.
- the applicant discovered that it was possible to obtain both a reduced curvature and a satisfactory surface condition when the dielectric layer 4 is formed by high plasma density chemical vapor deposition and when the finishing step comprises annealing carried out in a neutral or reducing atmosphere at a temperature above 1050°C for a duration greater than 30 minutes.
- Figures 5a and 5b thus show the measured characteristics of the curvature of the final substrate S ( ) and roughness of the exposed surface of the upper layer 5 ( , this roughness measurement, expressed in nm, being obtained by atomic force on a measuring field of 30 micrometers by 30 micrometers) of a substrate prepared according to the process which has just been detailed.
- this roughness measurement expressed in nm, being obtained by atomic force on a measuring field of 30 micrometers by 30 micrometers
- a preparation method according to the invention therefore exploits these results to propose different finishing sequences of a finishing step.
- there is at least one anneal called “first anneal”, this first anneal being carried out in a neutral or reducing atmosphere at a temperature above 1050°C for a duration greater than 30 minutes.
- the dielectric layer 4, buried in the final substrate was obtained by high density plasma chemical vapor deposition on the charge trapping layer 2.
- the finishing step may comprise at least one step of thinning the upper layer 5.
- This at least one thinning step may be carried out before and/or after the first annealing.
- the finishing sequence carried out during the finishing step may therefore correspond to a thinning-annealing or annealing-thinning or thinning-annealing-thinning sequence.
- This thinning of the layer may in particular be carried out by sacrificial oxidation (i.e. the oxidation of a surface thickness of this layer, followed by the removal of this oxidized thickness) of the upper layer.
- finishing step may comprise other anneals than the first anneal already described.
- the finishing sequence may incorporate a second rapid anneal, this second anneal being conducted in a neutral or reducing atmosphere at a temperature greater than 1050°C for a duration of less than 2 minutes.
- the second anneal may be conducted before or after the first anneal.
- the neutral or reducing atmosphere used during the first annealing and, where appropriate, during the second annealing is composed mainly or exclusively of Argon.
- the temperature of the first annealing may be preferably chosen in the range 1050°C to 1100°C, so as not to affect the quality of the trapping layer 2. Too large a thermal budget provided during the finishing step could actually lead to modifying its crystallinity and its electrical efficiency. To further improve the smoothing effect of this first annealing, even for the lower part of the preferred temperature range, the equipment in which this annealing is carried out may follow the teachings of document EP3011590B1.
- the left part of this figure shows a map of the dislocations present in a final substrate for which the finishing sequence including an anneal conducted in a neutral or reducing atmosphere at a temperature above 1050°C for a duration greater than 30 minutes, while being devoid of fast annealing. The absence or near-absence of such defects can be observed on this left part.
- the right part of this figure shows a map of the dislocations present in a final substrate that has received rapid heat treatment. We can clearly see the difference, in terms of defects, with the left part.
- dislocation maps can be prepared by inspection equipment implementing a deflectometry technique, as for example presented in document US7812942.
- the preparation method which has just been described makes it possible to provide a final substrate comprising, successively in contact with each other, an upper layer 5 of semiconductor material, for example silicon, a dielectric layer having a thickness greater than 200 nm, an electric charge trapping layer and a base substrate.
- the dielectric layer may in particular have a thickness greater than or equal to 400 nm.
- the exposed surface of the upper layer of semiconductor material of this final substrate has a roughness of less than 0.3 nm in mean square measurement over a field of 5 micrometers by 5 micrometers and a curvature of less than 60 micrometers, preferably less than 40 micrometers.
- this final substrate has a cumulative length of planes or lines of dislocations less than 20 mm.
