Definitions
- the present invention is a so-called ion implantation delamination method (also called the Smart Cut (registered trademark) method), in which an ion-implanted wafer is debonded after bonding to produce SOI (Silicon On Insula tor) 18 In this case, it is related to a method of reusing the peeling wafer produced as a by-product.
- ion implantation delamination method also called the Smart Cut (registered trademark) method
- SOI Silicon On Insula tor
- the SOI wafer manufacturing method using the shell-dividing method involves bonding two silicon single crystal wafers through an oxide film. It is a characteristic. However, the cost is very high because two SOI wafers are produced.
- FIG. 2 shows the flow of the SOI wafer manufacturing process using the ion implantation delamination method.
- the ion implantation delamination method will be described below with reference to Fig. 2.
- step (a) After preparing two silicon wafers of bond wafer 1 and base wafer 4 (step (a)), after forming oxide film 2 on at least one of the silicon wafers (in this case, bond wafer 18 1) (step (b)) Then, hydrogen ions or rare gas ions are implanted from the upper surface of one silicon wafer to form a microbubble layer (ion implantation layer 3) inside the wafer (step (c)), and the surface on which the ion is implanted is formed.
- step (b) After preparing two silicon wafers of bond wafer 1 and base wafer 4 (step (a)), after forming oxide film 2 on at least one of the silicon wafers (in this case, bond wafer 18 1) (step (b)) Then, hydrogen ions or rare gas ions are implanted from the upper surface of one silicon wafer to form a microbubble layer (ion implantation layer 3) inside the wafer (step (c)), and the surface on which the ion is implanted is formed.
- the silicon wafer is in close contact with the other silicon wafer (in this case, the base wafer 4) through the oxide film 2 (step (d)), and then heat treatment is performed to separate the one wafer into a thin film using the ion implantation layer as the cleavage plane 6 ( In step (e)), a heat treatment is applied to form a strong bond (not shown) to manufacture SIO Woofer 8 (see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-21 1128).
- the cleavage surface (peeling surface) 6 is a good mirror surface, the uniformity of the SOI layer thickness is high, and the SOI wafer can be obtained relatively easily.
- Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 11-307413 discloses a silicon wafer (hereinafter referred to as the CZ tower) or the floating zone method (hereinafter referred to as the floating zone method) manufactured by the Ezotaxarski method (CZ method) as a bond tower.
- CZ method silicon wafer
- FZ method silicon wafer
- FZ method re-treating the peeling surface of the peeling wafer 8 produced as a by-product in each case, and reusing the peeling wafer A method is disclosed.
- the present invention has been made in view of these problems.
- a SOI wafer is produced by using a CZ wafer having a large diameter of 200 mm or more as a bond wafer, or an SOI wafer by an ion implantation delamination method.
- the purpose is to provide a method for reusing the peeling wafer.
- a thermal oxide film is formed on the surface of a CZ wafer, and the CZ wafer formed by ion implantation through the thermal oxide film to form an ion implantation layer is used as a bond wafer.
- the bond wafer and the base wafer are separated from the SOI wafer and the release wafer by the ion implantation layer by covering the bond wafer and the base wafer through the thermal oxide film and covering the heat treatment.
- the method of adding at least a reprocessing to polish the peeled wafer, and reusing the peeled wafer as a bond wafer again in the SOI wafer manufacturing process
- the CZ wafer used is a low-defect wafer whose entire surface is made of an N region, and in the reprocessing, the peeling wafer is heated at a temperature higher than the temperature at which the thermal oxide film is formed on the bondue 18 in the SOI wafer manufacturing process.
- a method for reusing a stripping wafer characterized by subjecting to rapid heating and rapid cooling heat treatment.
- the peeled surface can be polished without worrying about the polishing cost. Therefore, the surface of the peeling wafer can be made flatter than when using an epitaxial wafer, and the bonding failure of the SO wafer due to the bonded wafer regenerated from the peeling wafer can be improved. In addition, from peeling uheha to bondueha Since the number of reproductions increases, the SOI wafer manufacturing cost can be substantially reduced.
- the reprocessing of the peeling wafer is performed by rapid heating / rapid cooling heat treatment (RTA (Rapid Thermal Annealing) at a temperature higher than the temperature at which the thermal oxide film is formed on the bond wafer in the SOI wafer manufacturing process.
- RTA Rapid Thermal Annealing
- Treatment dissolves and extinguishes the oxygen precipitation nuclei inside the exfoliated wafer formed by heat treatment performed several times in the manufacturing process and reprocessing process, and the oxygen precipitates on which it grows. It is possible to initialize the oxygen precipitation nuclei and oxygen precipitates inside the peeling wafer to the state before they are formed, so that the bond wafer regenerated from the peeling wafer in the SOI wafer manufacturing process after the regeneration process can be used.
- the bond woofer that has been reprocessed from the peel-off wafer has been initialized by the RTA process, so it has the same quality as the Bondueha prepared in the beginning, and is formed using this SOI layer. In addition to preventing deterioration in quality, it is also possible to improve poor bonding of SOI wafers.
- the bond wafer is initialized, so that the bonding frequency of the SOI wafer can be maintained and the number of playback times can be increased to the limit of the thickness of the CZ wafer. This can reduce the cost of manufacturing SOI wafers.
- the rapid heating / rapid cooling heat treatment is performed before the step of regenerating and polishing the surface of the release wafer. Also, the rapid heating / rapid cooling heat treatment is performed to regenerate the surface of the release wafer. It can also be performed after the polishing step.
- RTA treatment is performed to eliminate oxygen precipitate nuclei formed on the delaminated wafer by heat treatment performed several times in the SOI wafer manufacturing process and reprocessing process. Therefore, the RTA process is performed to regenerate the delaminated wafer surface. It can be done either before or after the polishing process. However, preferably, when the surface of the release wafer is subjected to RTA treatment by performing RTA treatment on the release wafer 8 before the regeneration polishing step, even if the surface of the release wafer is contaminated by the RTA treatment, it can be removed. It is possible to adjust the surface roughness of the peeled surface that has changed.
- the temperature of the rapid heating and rapid cooling heat treatment is preferably 1100 ° C. to 1300 ° C.
- the RTA processing temperature is preferably 1100 ° C or higher.
- the RTA processing temperature should be 1100 ° C or higher.
- the present invention uses a low-defect CZ wafer having the entire N region as the bond wafer when manufacturing the SOI wafer.
- the damaged layer can be re-polished to the required thickness, and in particular, the surface of the peeled wafer can be polished to 2 / m or more. If the removal allowance for the surface of the release wafer is 2 ⁇ m or more, the damaged layer on the release surface can be removed reliably and the polishing is sufficient for flattening. This can improve the bonding failure and prevent the deterioration of the quality of the SOI wafer when the peeling wafer is reused.
- FIG. 1 is a diagram illustrating an example of a flow of a method for reusing a separation wafer according to the present invention.
- FIG. 2 is a diagram showing a flow of a process for manufacturing an SOI wafer by an ion implantation separation method.
- FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a flow of a method for reusing a conventional peeling wafer.
- FIG. 4 is a diagram showing a flow of implementation steps of the present invention that can be considered other than the flow of FIG.
- the flow ( ⁇ ) is the case where the RTA treatment of the step (F) is performed during the step (G), and the flow (/ 3) is the RTA treatment of the step (F) after the step (G) is completed. This is the case.
- the present inventor has seen a tendency that the quality of the SOI layer of the SOI wafer manufactured using the wafer that has been reprocessed on the peeling wafer as a bond wafer tends to be deteriorated, the defects frequently occur, and the reproduction of the peeled wafer.
- the CZ wafer was used as the wafer (bond wafer) for forming the SOI layer.
- the bond wafer is subjected to high-temperature oxidation heat treatment for oxide film formation and low-temperature heat treatment (peeling heat treatment) for wafer separation. It has been found that repeated growth increases oxygen precipitates. This mechanism is explained below with reference to Fig. 3.
- FIG. 3 is a diagram showing a flow of a process for reprocessing the peeling wafer by a conventional method.
- the SOI wafer 8 is fabricated as shown in FIG. 2 (step (e))
- oxygen precipitation nuclei 5 are generated inside the separation wafer 7, and oxide film removal and regenerative polishing are performed in step (f).
- the thermal oxide film is formed (step (g))
- the oxygen precipitation nuclei 5 generated in the SIO wafer manufacturing process grow into oxygen precipitates 9.
- the present inventor can cope with the recent increase in wafer diameter by using a low-defect CZ wafer whose entire surface is an N region as a bond wafer, and at the same time, the peeling surface can be formed without worrying about the polishing cost.
- the oxygen precipitation nuclei inside the peeling wafer are obtained.
- the present invention was completed by conceiving to erase the oxygen precipitates and initialize the bond wafer.
- FIG. 1 is a diagram showing a flow of a method for reusing a separation wafer according to the present invention.
- CZ wafer 11 with a normal oxygen concentration (for example, about 10 to 25 ppma) and mirror-polished at least one surface is prepared as a bondue 18 (step (A)).
- the thermal oxide film 12 is formed at a temperature of about 1200 ° C. (step (B)).
- the entire surface is made up of N regions in CZ 18 Use low defect wafers.
- Low-defect wafers consisting entirely of N regions have fewer cavity defects and higher crystal quality than normal CZ wafers, so they can be used favorably for SOI layers. Manufacturing conditions are strict, leading to increased costs.
- the peeling surface can be polished without worrying about the polishing cost, the surface of the peeling wafer can be flattened more than when the epitaxial wafer is used, and the SOI wafer produced by Bondueha regenerated from the peeling wafer can be obtained. Bonding failure can be improved. In addition, since the number of times of regeneration from the peeling wafer to the bondue wafer can be increased, the cost of manufacturing the SOI wafer can be substantially reduced.
- step (C) peeling hydrogen ions are implanted through the thermal oxide film 12 on the mirror-polished surface to form the ion-implanted layer 13 (step (C)).
- step (D) the bond wafer having the ion-implanted layer 13 formed thereon is bonded to the base wafer 14 (here, a silicon single crystal wafer) at room temperature, and then bonded to the bonded wafer at 400 to 600 ° C.
- Perform low-temperature heat treatment peeling heat treatment
- peel off into the SIO wafer 18 and the peeling wafer 17 at the peeling surface 16 of the ion-implanted layer 13 (process) At this time, oxygen precipitation nuclei 15 (fine oxygen precipitates) are formed in the barta portion of the separation wafer 17.
- the stripper wafer 17 is subjected to, for example, an RTA treatment in an argon atmosphere (step (F)).
- step (F) the oxygen precipitation nuclei inside the exfoliated wafer formed by heat treatment performed several times in the SOI wafer manufacturing process and the second reprocessing process can be eliminated.
- the oxygen precipitates inside the peeling wafer can be initialized, the oxygen precipitates can be suppressed inside the bond wafer regenerated from the peeling wafer in the manufacturing process of the SOI wafer after the regeneration process. .
- the bond woofer regenerated from the RTA-treated release woofer is internally initialized like the bondoeha prepared at the beginning, so this is used to manufacture the S0I woofer. Even if it is performed, it can prevent the quality degradation of the SOI layer of the S0I-18, and it can also improve the bonding failure.
- the Bondueha is initialized every time, so the bonding quality of SI
- the number of playbacks can be increased to the limit, and the cost of manufacturing SOO woofer can be reduced.
- the temperature of the RTA treatment is preferably higher than the oxidation temperature in the step (1), particularly 1100 ° C to 1300 ° C.
- the temperature higher than the thermal oxide film formation temperature especially 1100 ° C or higher, the oxygen precipitation nuclei 15 formed during the heat treatment in the process (B) and the process (E) and during the temperature lowering process can be eliminated.
- the inside of the peeling wafer 17 is initialized.
- the melting point of silicon is about 1400 ° C, if it exceeds 1300 ° C, slip dislocation will occur in the peeling wafer and the shape will be deformed during RTA processing, and the flatness of the bond wafer will be lost. Since the problem of poor crystal quality may occur, the RTA heat treatment temperature is preferably 1300 ° C or lower.
- the surface of the separation wafer 17 from which the oxygen precipitation nuclei 15 are eliminated is regenerated and polished.
- it can be carried out by removing the oxide film on the surface with an HF aqueous solution and polishing the release surface 16 (step (G)).
- the polishing allowance is 2 ⁇ m in order to remove the step formed on the periphery of the peeling surface. Even when m or more is required, oxygen precipitates are not exposed on the surface after polishing, and there is no problem of inducing poor bonding. Therefore, as the regeneration process, it is possible to cover surface grinding or chemical etching before the polishing process. [0036] Even if the peeling wafer is damaged by ion implantation, the entire surface is made of a low-defect CZ wafer consisting of the N region. Polishing with a machining allowance of a degree or more is possible.
- Such reclaimed polishing can remove the damaged layer of the peeled wafer and sufficiently flatten the surface of the peeled wafer, thereby improving the bonding failure of the SOI wafer due to the reclaimed polished bond wafer, and the peeled wafer. It is possible to prevent the deterioration of the quality of S ⁇ UA8 when reused. Note that the number of times the peeling wafer can be regenerated can be increased if the polishing is performed with a small amount of polishing so that the damaged layer of the peeling wafer 8 can be removed.
- the flow of the present invention includes the flow as shown in Figs.
- the RTA treatment in step (F) in Fig. 1 can be performed after regenerative polishing as in the flow (i3), or before regenerative polishing after removing the oxide film as in the flow ( ⁇ ). You can also.
- the RTA treatment is performed to eliminate oxygen precipitate nuclei and the like formed on the separation wafer by heat treatment performed several times in the SOI wafer manufacturing process and the reprocessing process. As shown in (), RTA treatment may be performed after the regeneration polishing process on the surface of the peeling wafer. However, more preferably, as shown in FIG. 1, when the surface of the peeling wafer is regenerated and polished by performing RTA treatment on the peeling wafer prior to the reclaiming polishing step, contamination and surface roughness due to the RTA treatment are reduced. Can be removed or adjusted as changes occur
- Hydrogen ions are implanted through this oxide film.
- the hydrogen ion implantation conditions were an energy of 70 KeV and an implantation amount of 6 ⁇ 10 16 Zcm 2, and an ion implantation layer was formed inside the bondeau.
- the peeling wafer (second time) was subjected to RTA treatment at 1200 ° C for 60 seconds in an argon 100% atmosphere using a lamp heating RTA apparatus, and then the oxide film formed on the surface was removed. Then, the peeled surface was polished by 4 ⁇ m to produce a new Bondueha (third time).
- a low defect CZ wafer consisting entirely of N region is used as a bond wafer produced by SOI wafer 18 and used as a peeling wafer in the reprocessing process.
- the SOI wafer manufactured according to the present invention is suppressed from occurrence of defects such as voids and blisters.
- the peeling wafer reprocessing method of the present invention the number of times the peeling wafer is regenerated can be increased as compared with the prior art, the manufacturing cost of the SOI wafer can be substantially reduced, and the quality of the obtained SOI wafer can be improved.
- the unit of interstitial oxygen concentration is the standard of JEIDA (abbreviation of Japan Electronic Industry Development Association. Currently renamed JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association)). Is used.
- the present invention is not limited to the above-described embodiment.
