Description
技术领域technical field
本发明涉及化学机械抛光后处理技术领域,尤其涉及一种基于马兰戈尼效应的晶圆后处理系统和方法。The invention relates to the technical field of chemical mechanical polishing post-processing, in particular to a wafer post-processing system and method based on the Marangoni effect.
背景技术Background technique
化学机械抛光(Chemical Mechanical Planarization,CMP)是集成电路(IC)制造中获得全局平坦化的一种超精密表面加工工艺。随着集成电路制造技术的发展,对晶圆表面缺陷的控制越来越严格。在晶圆制造过程中,晶圆表面会吸附颗粒或有机物等污染物而产生大量缺陷,需要后处理工艺去除这些缺陷。Chemical Mechanical Planarization (CMP) is an ultra-precision surface processing technology for global planarization in integrated circuit (IC) manufacturing. With the development of integrated circuit manufacturing technology, the control of wafer surface defects is becoming more and more stringent. During the wafer manufacturing process, the surface of the wafer will absorb pollutants such as particles or organic matter to generate a large number of defects, which require post-processing to remove these defects.
特别是在化学机械抛光中大量使用的化学试剂和研磨剂会造成晶圆表面的污染,所以在抛光之后需要引入后处理工艺以去除晶圆表面的污染物,后处理工艺一般由清洗和干燥组成,以提供光滑洁净的晶圆表面。In particular, chemical reagents and abrasives used in large quantities in chemical mechanical polishing will cause contamination on the wafer surface, so after polishing, a post-treatment process is required to remove the contaminants on the wafer surface. The post-treatment process generally consists of cleaning and drying. , to provide a smooth and clean wafer surface.
抛光后清洗的目的是去除晶圆表面颗粒和各种化学物质,并在清洗过程中避免对表面和内部结构的腐蚀和破坏,目前常见的湿法清洗是在溶液环境下清洗晶圆,比如清洗剂浸泡、机械擦洗、湿法化学清洗等。The purpose of cleaning after polishing is to remove particles and various chemical substances on the surface of the wafer, and to avoid corrosion and damage to the surface and internal structure during the cleaning process. The current common wet cleaning is to clean the wafer in a solution environment, such as cleaning Chemical immersion, mechanical scrubbing, wet chemical cleaning, etc.
晶圆经过清洗后,晶圆表面会留存很多水或清洗液的残留物。由于这些水或清洗液的残留物中溶有杂质,如果让这些残留液体自行蒸发干燥,这些杂质就会重新粘结到晶圆的表面上,造成污染,甚至破坏晶圆的结构。为此,需要对晶圆表面进行干燥处理,以除去这些残留液体。传统的旋转干燥方式,由于干燥后残留的水膜厚度很大,甚至可能高于200nm,极易造成水痕缺陷。After the wafer is cleaned, a lot of water or cleaning solution residues will remain on the surface of the wafer. Since there are impurities dissolved in the residues of these waters or cleaning solutions, if these residual liquids are allowed to evaporate and dry by themselves, these impurities will rebond to the surface of the wafer, causing contamination and even destroying the structure of the wafer. For this reason, the wafer surface needs to be dried to remove these residual liquids. The traditional spin drying method, due to the large thickness of the remaining water film after drying, may even be higher than 200nm, can easily cause water mark defects.
综上,现有技术中存在晶圆干燥效果差,容易残留液体的问题。To sum up, in the prior art, there is a problem that the drying effect of the wafer is poor, and the liquid is easy to remain.

Obvious alternatives and modified technical solutions. It should be understood that, unless otherwise specified, for ease of understanding, the following descriptions of the specific embodiments of the present invention are all based on the natural state that the relevant equipment, devices, components, etc. are originally stationary and not given external control signals and driving forces describe.
如图1所示,基于马兰戈尼效应的晶圆后处理的实现原理为:As shown in Figure 1, the implementation principle of wafer post-processing based on the Marangoni effect is:
在图1中,由于液体的浸润作用致使液体沿晶圆w表面上升,在液体表面张力的作用下,在气体(干燥气体)、液体(清洗液)和固体(晶圆)三相交界处的接触液面呈现凹月面形的一弯曲液面,即弯液面。In Figure 1, the liquid rises along the surface of the wafer w due to the wetting effect of the liquid. The contact liquid surface presents a curved liquid surface in the shape of a concave moon, that is, the meniscus.
如图1所示,在晶圆w以恒定速度V从清洗液中提拉出的同时,向晶圆w表面附着的清洗液的弯液面区域喷射热的干燥气体,致使该区域的液体温度升高,形成温度梯度,温度梯度诱发表面张力梯度而使清洗液沿弯液面向下流动,马兰戈尼效应产生的强烈的界面流动不仅可以随着晶圆w的提拉而将吸附在晶圆w表面的液体剥离还可以将晶圆w表面附着的污染物冲洗掉,从而同时实现晶圆w的清洗和干燥。As shown in Figure 1, while the wafer w is pulled out of the cleaning solution at a constant speed V, hot dry gas is sprayed onto the meniscus region of the cleaning solution attached to the surface of the wafer w, causing the liquid temperature in this region As the temperature rises, a temperature gradient is formed, and the temperature gradient induces a surface tension gradient to make the cleaning liquid flow downward along the meniscus. The strong interfacial flow generated by the Marangoni effect can not only absorb on the wafer w as the wafer w is pulled The liquid stripping on the surface of w can also wash away the pollutants attached to the surface of the wafer w, thereby realizing the cleaning and drying of the wafer w at the same time.
如图1所示,本发明实施例所提供的一种基于马兰戈尼效应的晶圆后处理系统,包括:As shown in FIG. 1, a wafer post-processing system based on the Marangoni effect provided by an embodiment of the present invention includes:
晶圆提升装置10,用于从清洗液中提拉浸入清洗液的晶圆w;Wafer lifting device 10, used to pull the wafer w immersed in the cleaning solution from the cleaning solution;
气体喷射装置20,用于在晶圆w从清洗液中提升的过程中,向晶圆w表面附着的清洗液的弯液面区域喷射第一温度的干燥气体,以使晶圆w表面的附着物按照与所述提升方向相反的方向从晶圆w表面剥离。The gas injection device 20 is used to spray dry gas at a first temperature to the meniscus region of the cleaning solution attached to the surface of the wafer w during the process of lifting the wafer w from the cleaning solution, so that the attached surface of the wafer w The attached objects are peeled off from the surface of the wafer w in a direction opposite to the lifting direction.
在一个实施例中,气体喷射装置20可绕一旋转轴旋转,以使喷射的气体跟随弯液面移动。气体喷射装置20的气体喷出位置绕旋转轴的旋转角度范围为与水平面夹角在10°至50°之间。In one embodiment, the gas injection device 20 is rotatable about a rotation axis, so that the injected gas moves with the meniscus. The range of rotation angle of the gas injection position of the gas injection device 20 around the rotation axis is between 10° and 50° with respect to the horizontal plane.
本实施例中,气体喷射装置20喷射的气体可以为氮气,气体的温度即第一温度高于清洗液的温度且低于60℃。In this embodiment, the gas injected by the gas injection device 20 may be nitrogen, and the temperature of the gas, ie, the first temperature, is higher than the temperature of the cleaning liquid and lower than 60°C.
氮气的温度高于清洗液的温度使得弯液面区域的温度分布发生变化,由于界面的表面张力取决于温度分布时会发生马兰戈尼对流,也就是在本实施例中使用热的干燥气体喷射液体和固体的交界面时,基于热马兰戈尼效应,清洗液带着晶圆表面的附着物向下剥离,从而实现晶圆w的清洗和干燥,减少了液体残留,提高了晶圆干燥效果。The temperature of the nitrogen gas is higher than the temperature of the cleaning liquid so that the temperature distribution in the meniscus region changes, since Marangoni convection occurs when the surface tension of the interface depends on the temperature distribution, that is, in this example using hot dry gas injection At the interface between liquid and solid, based on the thermal Marangoni effect, the cleaning liquid will peel off the attachments on the surface of the wafer, so as to realize the cleaning and drying of the wafer w, reduce the liquid residue, and improve the drying effect of the wafer .
氮气的温度低于60℃,可以避免因晶圆w过热引起大量液体蒸发而导致的干燥缺陷。The temperature of the nitrogen gas is lower than 60°C, which can avoid drying defects caused by the evaporation of a large amount of liquid caused by the overheating of the wafer w.
本发明实施例的晶圆后处理系统,通过使用绿色环保的氮气取代可燃、可爆且有毒的有机蒸汽进行马兰戈尼干燥,无需配备安全保护装置,简化了气体供给系统,提升了晶圆后处理系统的安全性。此外,本发明实施例的基于马兰戈尼效应的晶圆后处理系统对蓝宝石衬底、氮化镓衬底等热导率较低的衬底具有显著的干燥效果。The wafer post-processing system of the embodiment of the present invention replaces flammable, explosive and toxic organic vapors for Marangoni drying by using green and environmentally friendly nitrogen gas, which does not need to be equipped with safety protection devices, simplifies the gas supply system, and improves wafer post-processing. Handle system security. In addition, the wafer post-processing system based on the Marangoni effect in the embodiment of the present invention has a significant drying effect on substrates with low thermal conductivity such as sapphire substrates and gallium nitride substrates.
