Description
技术领域Technical Field
本发明属于硅片清洗技术领域,具体涉及一种硅片用臭氧清洗方法及装置。The invention belongs to the technical field of silicon wafer cleaning, and in particular relates to an ozone cleaning method and device for silicon wafers.
背景技术Background technique
在半导体制造工艺中一般使用硅片作为器件的衬底,其各项性能参数直接影响器件的性能,尤其对硅片的表面洁净度有很高的要求,表面存在的污染往往会造成器件性能下降甚至报废,影响产品的稳定和产线的良品率,因此硅片的清洗很重要,通过清洗硅片使之达到良好的清洗效果对于提升产线的良品率以及器件的性能具有重要意义。In the semiconductor manufacturing process, silicon wafers are generally used as device substrates. Their various performance parameters directly affect the performance of the devices, especially the surface cleanliness of the silicon wafers. Surface contamination often causes device performance degradation or even scrapping, affecting product stability and the yield rate of the production line. Therefore, the cleaning of silicon wafers is very important. Cleaning silicon wafers to achieve good cleaning effects is of great significance to improving the yield rate of the production line and the performance of devices.
现有技术中,对硅片的清洗通常采用化学清洗方法,传统的RCA清洗硅片的方法中,涉及氨水、双氧水、氢氧化钾等化学品的使用及排放,对环境造成极大的污染;臭氧清洗方法在硅片清洗领域有广泛应用,使用臭氧清洗硅片方法相较传统的RCA清洗法不仅能够降低生产成本,还降低了有害物质的排放,是一种绿色环保的清洗方法,常见的臭氧清洗方式为在含有盐酸或者氢氟酸的水溶液中通入臭氧,溶解到水中的臭氧浓度一般为10-100ppm,将硅片浸入在这种含有臭氧的溶液中清洗,实现清洁硅片的目的。In the prior art, chemical cleaning methods are usually used to clean silicon wafers. The traditional RCA method for cleaning silicon wafers involves the use and discharge of chemicals such as ammonia water, hydrogen peroxide, and potassium hydroxide, which causes great pollution to the environment. Ozone cleaning methods are widely used in the field of silicon wafer cleaning. Compared with the traditional RCA cleaning method, the ozone cleaning method for silicon wafers can not only reduce production costs, but also reduce the emission of harmful substances. It is a green and environmentally friendly cleaning method. The common ozone cleaning method is to introduce ozone into an aqueous solution containing hydrochloric acid or hydrofluoric acid. The concentration of ozone dissolved in water is generally 10-100ppm. The silicon wafer is immersed in this ozone-containing solution for cleaning to achieve the purpose of cleaning the silicon wafer.
臭氧清洗的化学反应有两种,一是臭氧的对有机物的直接氧化反应,其是臭氧清洗的主要反应,但有很强的选择性,即能够以很快的速率分解部分有机物,但对一些有机物分解速率极慢,这就导致目前臭氧溶液清洗硅片的效果仍与RCA法有一定差距;另一种是臭氧和水中的氢氧根离子或者双氧水的共轭碱反应生成氧化能力极强的羟基,羟基有很高的活性能够无选择的分解有机物,但也是由于羟基的高活性导致其半衰减期极短,在现有臭氧清洗方法中羟基的浓度极低根本起不到清洗作用,为此我们提出一种硅片用臭氧清洗方法及装置。There are two chemical reactions in ozone cleaning. One is the direct oxidation reaction of ozone on organic matter, which is the main reaction of ozone cleaning, but it has strong selectivity, that is, it can decompose some organic matter at a very fast rate, but the decomposition rate of some organic matter is extremely slow. This leads to the current ozone solution cleaning effect of silicon wafers is still somewhat different from the RCA method; the other is the reaction of ozone and hydroxyl ions in water or the conjugate base of hydrogen peroxide to generate hydroxyl groups with extremely strong oxidizing ability. Hydroxyl groups have high activity and can decompose organic matter indiscriminately, but it is also due to the high activity of hydroxyl groups that their half-decay period is extremely short. In the existing ozone cleaning method, the concentration of hydroxyl groups is extremely low and has no cleaning effect at all. For this reason, we propose an ozone cleaning method and device for silicon wafers.
