- annealing process FLA (flash lamp annealing), LSA (Laser Spike Anneal), LTP (laser thermal process), Spike-RTA (Rapid Thermal Annealing) may be used from the 45 nm node (hp65).
- the wafer in FLA heat treatment, the wafer is heated to an initial temperature of 400 ° C. to 600 ° C., and the entire surface of the wafer is irradiated with light having a short wavelength such as an Xe lamp, so that only the surface layer of the wafer is 1100 ° C. or higher. Rapid heating and cooling to near the melting point.

- Another object of the present invention is to provide a silicon wafer excellent in slip resistance and a method for producing the same, in which the wafer is prevented from being deformed and oxygen precipitates are not formed during the device process.
- Another object of the present invention is to prevent the formation of oxygen precipitates during the device process at the outer periphery of the wafer in order to prevent local wafer deformation, particularly in the device process at the outer periphery of the wafer. It is to provide a wafer and a manufacturing method thereof.
- the processing temperature peak temperature
- the temperature rises and falls in a very short time so the stress applied to the wafer increases and oxygen precipitation occurs.
- Deformation such as warpage occurs in the wafer due to the slip extending to the surface. Therefore, the present inventors have sought a means for providing a wafer that can withstand a rapid heating / cooling heat treatment process.
- the prevention of slip elongation due to oxygen precipitates in the wafer which has been adopted as a means for preventing wafer deformation during heat treatment that is not strict as in the prior art, is reverse because the temperature conditions in the rapid heating / cooling heat treatment process are harsh and severe.
- the rapid heating / cooling heat treatment process there is a MOS FET annealing process at a 45 nm node (hp65).
- annealing is performed at a higher temperature and in a shorter time than the conventional RTA.
- the MOS FET indicated by the symbol Mos is an extremely shallow junction that is adjacent to the source Ms and drain Md and is a shallow impurity diffusion region with a depth (junction depth) Xi of about 20 nm from the substrate surface. Mex is formed. In this ultra-shallow junction Mex, it is necessary to realize a box-shaped impurity profile as shown in FIG.
- a heating / cooling heat treatment process is performed.
- the rapid heating / cooling heat treatment process sufficiently activates impurities implanted at a high heating temperature to lower the resistance, and at the same time suppresses unnecessary diffusion of impurities by a short heating time and deactivates activated impurities. ) Can be avoided.
- FLA FLA, LSA, or the like is performed in order to realize the junction depth Xi that is less than 20 nm required at the 45 nm node (hp65).
- a wafer is heated to an initial temperature of 400 ° C. or more and 600 ° C. or less, irradiated with light of a short wavelength such as a Xe flash lamp, and exposed to the wafer electrode in a heat treatment time in milliseconds. Only the surface layer is rapidly heated and rapidly cooled to about 900 ° C to 1350 ° C.
- LSA the temperature of a wafer is raised to an initial temperature of 400 ° C. to 600 ° C.
- the internal stress generated in the wafer during heat treatment may reach a level of 50 to 150 MPa.
- the rapid heating / cooling heat treatment process in the present invention is not limited to this FLA, and is intended for all heat treatments under severe conditions in which the generated internal stress exceeds 20 MPa.
- the wafer 21 is held and fixed on a work stage 22 by vacuum suction as shown in FIG. It is held and fixed to a mask holder 24 above the work stage 22, the work stage 22 is raised and the thin wafer 21 is brought into close contact with the photomask 23, and then post exposure is performed.
- a photoresist film (not shown) is formed on the surface of the wafer 21 in advance, and this photoresist film is exposed and a pattern of the photomask 23 is baked.
- FIG. 6 a horizontal change generated when a pattern to be formed in the subsequent process of the rapid heating / cooling heat treatment process is superimposed on the pattern formed in the previous process of the rapid heating / cooling heat treatment process on the wafer.
- the quantity is indicated by the length of the arrow at each point on the wafer.
- the wafer is vacuum-sucked on the stage. If there is deformation such as warping, the wafer is fixed to the stage with the deformation such as warping corrected during suction. It is considered that the pattern formed on the wafer in the previous process is deformed (horizontal movement) by the corrected deformation and is shifted from the original position to cause an overlay error.
- deformation such as warpage of the wafer is caused by slip dislocation generated from a large size precipitate. If a certain amount of deformation occurs due to deformation such as warping, the deformation cannot be corrected, and the wafer is discarded. That is, due to the deformation of the wafer, the device yield is significantly reduced, and the device manufacturing cost as a whole is greatly increased.
- gettering ability has been imparted to the wafer by oxygen precipitates, but the frequency at which gettering is actually required, that is, the frequency of occurrence of heavy metal contamination is extremely low in the current device manufacturing process.
- This is the current 300 mm diameter relative to the cleanliness (rate in which no foreign matter is present) in the production line that mainly used a 200 mm diameter wafer that required gettering and the environment in which this line was installed.
- This is because the cleanliness of the wafer or the wafer having a diameter of 450 mm is extremely improved. Therefore, it is possible to select a countermeasure against an overlay error that directly affects the device yield as compared with the provision of the gettering ability that is a countermeasure against contamination with a low probability of occurrence. Therefore, the present inventors have chosen to reduce BMD.
- the heat treatment is performed in a state where the wafer is supported so that the ring-shaped susceptor contacts only the edge portion of the wafer. For this reason, when observed by X-ray topography by reflection ore in the ⁇ 4, 0, 0> direction, slip dislocation occurs at the supported wafer edge portion as shown in FIG.
- This slip dislocation is considered to have no effect on the device portion itself if it is about 3 mm from the periphery of the support portion, that is, only at the wafer edge portion and not on the device portion.
- the crack of the wafer is generated from this slip and the strength of the wafer itself is reduced, which causes a decrease in device yield.
- oxygen precipitates having a slip extension suppressing effect are present in the wafer, an overlay error due to wafer deformation is caused in the rapid heating / cooling heat treatment step, and therefore measures other than this method are preferable.
- an oxygen concentration at the time of ingot pulling before being subjected to a device process that generates a large stress, an oxygen concentration at the time of ingot pulling, a dopant concentration added at the time of pulling, and an RTA that dissolves precipitation nuclei so as to suppress oxygen precipitation inside the wafer.
- the inventors of the present invention have found that, by appropriately setting these conditions as in the examples to be described later, a slip suppression state that causes deformation occurring in the wafer by the rapid heating / cooling heat treatment process can be realized. Furthermore, the present inventors have realized a state in which slip extension caused by boat scratches / transport scratches, which is a problem in processes other than the rapid heating / cooling heat treatment process, can be prevented by appropriately setting these conditions. I found out that I can do it.

窒素を含まない非酸化性ガス雰囲気下で、処理温度1225℃~1350℃の範囲、保持時間5sec~1minの範囲、降温速度10℃/sec~0.1℃/secの範囲でウェーハを析出溶解熱処理する工程と、
析出溶解熱処理工程後に、スライスされたウェーハにH2及び/又はArによる非酸化性雰囲気下で、1100℃以上で30min以上の高温アニール処理を施し、デバイス形成領域であるウェーハ表層のVoid欠陥を消滅させるDZ処理工程とを有する。
[C3] [C1]又は[C2]に記載のシリコンウェーハの製造方法では、前記析出溶解熱処理工程において、処理雰囲気として窒素を含まない非酸化性ガスと1%以上の酸素ガスの混合雰囲気を用いることができる。
[C4] [C1]~[C3]のいずれかに記載のシリコンウェーハの製造方法では、前記引き上げ工程において、初期酸素濃度Oiが、12.0×1017~18×1017atoms/cm3 (Old-ASTM)となるように設定されることがある。
[C5] また、本発明の第3の態様のシリコンウェーハは、[C1]~[C4]のいずれか記載のシリコンウェーハの製造方法により製造される。
[C6] [C5]に記載のシリコンウェーハは、1000℃、16時間の熱処理後に、酸素析出物密度が1×104個/cm2以下とされる。
チョクラルスキー法によりシリコン単結晶直胴部をVoid欠陥が存在する領域として育成するシリコン単結晶引き上げ工程と、
窒素を含まない非酸化性ガス雰囲気下で、処理温度950℃~1200℃の範囲、保持時間5sec~1minの範囲、降温速度10℃/sec~0.1℃/secの範囲でウェーハを析出溶解熱処理する工程と、
析出溶解熱処理工程後に、スライスされたウェーハにH2及び/又はArによる非酸化性雰囲気下で、1100℃以上で30min以上の高温アニール処理を施し、デバイス形成領域であるウェーハ表層のVoid欠陥を消滅するDZ処理工程とを有する。
前記DZ処理工程前に、窒素を含まない非酸化性ガス雰囲気下で、処理温度950℃~1200℃の範囲、保持時間5sec~1minの範囲、降温速度10℃/sec~0.1℃/secの範囲でウェーハを析出溶解熱処理することにより、急速昇降温熱処理に供した場合でも、変形が防止できる。従って、早い引き上げ速度で引き上げられてVoid欠陥を有するV領域からなり、極めてBMDのできやすいいわゆるアニールウェーハであっても、析出溶解熱処理工程によって、変形原因となる酸素析出核を溶解できる。従って、従来のRTA処理に比べて条件が厳しく、シリコンウェーハで生じる最大応力が20MPaを超えるようなデバイス製造プロセスの急速昇降温熱処理に、アニールウェーハを供した場合でも、変形が防止できる。また同時に、ウェーハ強度低下の原因となるボート傷・搬送傷から発生するスリップ伸展をも防止可能となる。
本発明においてVoid欠陥を有するとは、少なくとも、Grown-in欠陥フリーではなく、COP欠陥などの結晶育成に伴って生じる可能性のある欠陥を有しているV領域を有することである。つまり、COP発生領域を有することを意味し、このV領域を有していれば、OSF領域、Pv領域、Pi領域を有していてもよいことを意味する。
本発明の第3の様態において、V領域からなるように引き上げるためには、例えば、V/Gが0.22以上とするとよい。
本発明の第3の様態におけるDZ処理を施すウェーハとしては、レーザ光散乱式パーティクルカウンター(SP1(surfscan SP1):KLA-Tencor社製))でLPD密度を測定した際に、0.09μm以上のサイズのLPD数が100個/wf以上のウェーハが採用される。つまり、このようなCOPを含むウェーハとは、窒素をドープして引き上げたインゴットからスライスされ、上記のようなウェーハ面内密度(ウェーハ全面での個数/ウェーハ面積)を有するCOPが存在するものである。即ち、全面にVoid欠陥を含むウェーハとOSF-ringも一部含むウェーハとをその対象とする。
本発明の第3の様態の窒素ドープウェーハでは、OSF-ring領域がVoid領域に拡大する傾向が見られるが、OSF領域やPv領域等を含んでいてもよい。
チョクラルスキー法によりシリコン単結晶直胴部を窒素が1×1013~5×1014atoms/cm3 ドープされVoid欠陥が存在する領域として育成する、シリコン単結晶引き上げ工程と、
窒素を含まない非酸化性ガス雰囲気下で、処理温度1225℃~1350℃の範囲、保持時間5sec~1minの範囲、降温速度10℃/sec~0.1℃/secの範囲でウェーハを析出溶解熱処理する工程と、
析出溶解熱処理工程後に、スライスされたウェーハにH2及び/又はArによる非酸化性雰囲気下で、1100℃以上で30min以上の高温アニール処理を施し、デバイス形成領域であるウェーハ表層のVoid欠陥を消滅するDZ処理工程とを有する。
このシリコンウェーハの製造方法によれば、BMDの形成されやすい窒素を含むウェーハであっても、析出溶解熱処理工程において、窒素を含まない状態に比べて高い温度条件とすることで、ウェーハ変形発生防止とスリップ発生防止とを同時に可能とする。
[D1] 本発明の第4の態様におけるシリコンウェーハの製造方法は、最高温度の範囲が1050℃以上且つシリコンの融点以下で、昇降温レートが150℃/sec以上である熱処理工程を有する半導体デバイスの製造プロセスに供されるシリコンウェーハの製造方法であって、
シリコン単結晶をチョクラルスキー法により育成する引き上げ工程と、
スライスされたウェーハを鏡面加工する鏡面処理工程とを有し、
前記引き上げ工程において、シリコン単結晶直胴部をGrown-in欠陥が存在しない無欠陥領域として育成し、
前記シリコン単結晶からスライスされたウェーハの外周部において同心円状に分布する空孔優勢な無欠陥領域であるPv領域が、ウェーハ外周部からウェーハ中心に向かって、径方向20mm以内の領域に存在せず、
それ以外の領域が、格子間シリコン優勢な無欠陥領域であるPi領域からなるように引き上げる。
[D2] [D1]に記載のシリコンウェーハの製造方法において、前記引き上げ工程において、ウェーハ全面が前記格子間シリコン優勢な無欠陥領域であるPi領域からなるように引き上げることが好ましい。
[D3] [D1]又は[D2]に記載のシリコンウェーハの製造方法は、前記引き上げ工程において、、800℃4時間+1000℃16時間の熱処理後に、前記格子間シリコン優勢な無欠陥領域であるPi領域の酸素析出物密度が1×1014個/cm2 以下となるように引き上げ条件が設定されるとよい。
[D4] [D1]~[D3]のいずれかに記載のシリコンウェーハの製造方法は、前記引き上げ工程において、初期酸素濃度Oiが、12.0×1017~14×1017atoms/cm3 (Old-ASTM)となるように設定されることがある。
[D5] 本発明のシリコンウェーハは、[D1]~[D3]のいずれかに記載のシリコンウェーハの製造方法により製造される。
シリコン単結晶をチョクラルスキー法により育成する引き上げ工程と、
スライスされたウェーハを鏡面加工する鏡面処理工程とを有し、
前記引き上げ工程において、シリコン単結晶直胴部をGrown-in欠陥が存在しない無欠陥領域として育成し、
前記シリコン単結晶からスライスされたウェーハの外周部において同心円状に分布する空孔優勢な無欠陥領域であるPv領域が、ウェーハ外周部からウェーハ中心に向けて径方向20mm以内の領域に存在せず、
それ以外の領域が、格子間シリコン優勢な無欠陥領域であるPi領域からなるように引き上げる。
この、第4の態様におけるシリコンウェーハの製造方法によれば、Pv領域を排除することで外周でのスリップ伸展を抑制することができる。更に、無欠陥領域からなることで、ウェーハ外周部でデバイスプロセス中に析出形成が起こらない。従って、変形原因となる酸素析出核を溶解する析出溶解熱処理を施すことなく、Slip耐性の優れたウェーハを製造することが可能となる。これにより、従来のRTA処理に比べて条件が厳しく、最高温度が1050℃~シリコン融点の範囲、昇降温レートが150℃/sec~10000℃/sec、500℃/sec~3000℃/sec、1000℃/sec~2000℃/secとされ、シリコンウェーハで生じる最大応力が20MPaを超えるような極めて過酷な条件であるデバイス製造プロセスの急速昇降温熱処理にウェーハを供した場合でも、変形が防止できる。同時に、ウェーハ強度低下の原因となるボート傷・搬送傷から発生するスリップ伸展をも防止可能なシリコンウェーハが提供可能である。
本発明において「Grown-in欠陥フリー」とは、COP欠陥や転位クラスタなどの結晶育成に伴って生じる可能性のある全ての欠陥が排除されること、OSF領域を排除可能で、Pv領域、Pi領域であることを意味する。
以下、本発明に係るシリコンエピタキシャルウェーハおよびその製造方法の第1の態様を、図面に基づいて説明する。
図1は、第1の態様におけるシリコンエピタキシャルウェーハおよびその製造方法を示すフローチャートである。
この製造条件設定工程S10においては、ウェーハ準備工程S111における操業条件として引き上げ時に制御するパラメーターとなるシリコンウェーハ(基板)の酸素濃度Oi、ドーパント濃度としてのボロン濃度、窒素濃度が設定される。
ウェーハ準備工程S111では、エピタキシャル層を成膜するためのシリコンウェーハを準備する工程である。ウェーハ準備工程S111では、CZ法で単結晶を引き上げ、引き上げられたシリコン単結晶インゴットをスライス加工してウェーハを形成し、更に、ウエーハの面取り・研削・研磨・洗浄等の表面処理等を行う。シリコンウェーハは直径が300mm以上450mm程度のものが適応可能である。
ウェーハ準備工程S111で準備したシリコンウェーハにエピタキシャル工程S12を介してその表面をエピタキシャル成長させる。得られたシリコンエピタキシャルウェーハは、その後半導体デバイスの製造工程S15に供される。半導体デバイスの製造工程S15は、FLA等の急速昇降温熱処理工程S152を有する。設定工程S112では、急速昇降温熱処理工程S152に応じて、ウェーハで発生する応力とこの応力に対応して要求される酸素析出状態を所望の状態に設定する。デバイス工程S15において、シリコンウェーハが供される熱処理は、最高温度の範囲が1050℃以上且つシリコンの融点以下で昇降温レートが150℃/sec以上の条件とされる急速昇降温熱処理工程S152である。この急速昇降温熱処理工程S152の前後で、前フォトリソ工程S151で形成されたパターンと、後フォトリソ工程S153で形成するパターンとにずれが生じオーバーレイエラーとならないように、設定工程S112で析出溶解熱処理工程S13における処理条件を決定し、この急速昇降温熱処理工程S152において、変形発生とスリップ発生を抑制する。設定工程S112では、同時に、析出溶解熱処理工程S13とエピタキシャル工程S12との処理順も含めて設定する。このとき、析出溶解熱処理工程S13をおこなわないことも選択できる。つまり、設定工程S112においては、製造条件設定工程S10での条件と、急速昇降温熱処理工程S152における条件とを考慮して、析出溶解熱処理工程S13の条件を決定することになる。
同時に、第1の態様におけるシリコンエピタキシャルウェーハでは、図8に示すような支持されているウェーハWのエッジ部分でスリップ転位が発生することを防止して、ウェーハの強度が低下することを防止できる。
以下、本発明に係るシリコンウェーハおよびその製造方法の第2の態様を、図面に基づいて説明する。
図10は、本実施形態におけるシリコンウェーハおよびその製造方法を示すフローチャートである。
この製造条件設定工程S20においては、ウェーハ準備工程S211における操業条件として引き上げ時に制御するパラメーターとなる引き上げ速度Vと固液界面からの温度勾配Gとの比、つまり、V/Gの値、シリコンウェーハ(基板)の酸素濃度Oi、ドーパント濃度などが設定される。
そして、シードチャック5に取り付けた種結晶Tをシリコン融液3に浸漬し、ルツボ1および引き上げ軸4を回転させつつ種結晶Tを引き上げることにより、シリコン単結晶6を形成できる。
なお、水素ガスを含有しない不活性ガスのみの雰囲気とすることもできる。
次に、シードチャック5に取り付けた種結晶Tをシリコン融液3に浸漬し、ルツボ1および引き上げ軸4を回転させつつ結晶引き上げを行う。
この場合の引き上げ条件としては、単結晶の成長速度をV(mm/分)とし、単結晶成長時の融点から1350℃の温度勾配をG(℃/mm)としたときの比V/G(mm2/分・℃)を0.22~0.15程度に制御し、VをGrown-in欠陥フリーなシリコン単結晶が引き上げ可能な速度である0.65~0.42~0.33mm/分に制御する、といった条件を例示できる。
同時に、第2の態様におけるシリコンウェーハでは、図8に示すような支持されているウェーハWのエッジ部分でスリップ転位が発生することを防止して、ウェーハの強度が低下することも防止できる。
以下、本発明に係るシリコンウェーハおよびその製造方法の第3の態様を、図面に基づいて説明する。
図12は、本実施形態におけるシリコンウェーハおよびその製造方法を示すフローチャートである。
この製造条件設定工程S30では、ウェーハ準備工程S311における操業条件として、引き上げ時に制御するパラメーターとなる引き上げ速度Vと固液界面からの温度勾配Gとの比、V/Gの値、つまり、シリコンウェーハ(基板)の酸素濃度Oi、ドーパント濃度などが設定される。
ウェーハ準備工程S311においては、先ず、図11のルツボ1内に高純度シリコンの多結晶を例えば100kg装入するとともに、必要なドーパントを投入してシリコン単結晶中のドーパント濃度を調整することが好ましい。
次に、CZ炉内を不活性ガス等の所定の雰囲気とするとともにその圧力を調整する。
次いで、磁場供給装置9から例えば3000G(0.3T)の水平磁場を磁場中心高さが融液液面に対して-75~+50mmとなるように供給印加するとともに、ヒータ2によりシリコンの多結晶を加熱してシリコン融液3とする。
次に、シードチャック5に取り付けた種結晶Tをシリコン融液3に浸漬し、ルツボ1および引き上げ軸4を回転させつつ結晶引き上げを行う。
この場合の引き上げ条件としては、単結晶の成長速度をV(mm/分)とし、単結晶成長時の融点から1350℃の温度勾配をG(℃/mm)としたときの比V/G(mm2/分・℃)を0.22~0.15程度に制御し、VをVoid欠陥が存在するV領域としてシリコン単結晶が引き上げ可能な速度である0.65~0.42~0.33mm/分に制御する、といった条件を例示できる。
同時に、第3の態様におけるシリコンウェーハでは、図8に示すような支持されているウェーハWのエッジ部分でスリップ転位が発生することを防止して、ウェーハの強度が低下することも防止できる。
以下、本発明に係るシリコンウェーハおよびその製造方法の第4の態様を、図面に基づいて説明する。
図13は、本実施形態におけるシリコンウェーハおよびその製造方法を示すフローチャートである。
この製造条件設定工程S40においては、ウェーハ準備工程S411における操業条件として引き上げ時に制御するパラメーターとなる引き上げ速度Vと固液界面からの温度勾配Gとの比、V/Gの値、つまり、シリコンウェーハ(基板)の酸素濃度Oi、ドーパント濃度などが設定される。
ウェーハ準備工程S411においては、先ず、図11のルツボ1内に高純度シリコンの多結晶を例えば100kg装入するとともに、必要なドーパントを投入してシリコン単結晶中のドーパント濃度を調整することが好ましい。次に、CZ炉内を水素含有物質と不活性ガスとの混合ガスからなる水素含有雰囲気とし、雰囲気圧力を1.3~13.3kPa(10~100torr)とし、雰囲気ガス中における水素含有物質の濃度が水素ガス換算分圧で40~400Pa程度になるように調整する。水素含有物質として水素ガスを選択した場合には、水素ガス分圧を40~400Paとすればよい。このときの水素ガスの濃度は0.3%~31%の範囲になる。
なお、水素ガスを含有しない不活性ガスのみの雰囲気とすることもできる。
次に、シードチャック5に取り付けた種結晶Tをシリコン融液3に浸漬し、ルツボ1および引き上げ軸4を回転させつつ結晶引き上げを行う。
この場合の引き上げ条件としては、単結晶の成長速度をV(mm/分)とし、単結晶成長時の融点から1350℃の温度勾配をG(℃/mm)としたときの比V/G(mm2/分・℃)を0.22~0.15程度に制御し、VをGrown-in欠陥フリーなシリコン単結晶が引き上げ可能な速度である0.65~0.42~0.33mm/分に制御する、といった条件を例示できる。
同時に、第4の態様におけるシリコンウェーハでは、図8に示すような支持されているウェーハWのエッジ部分でスリップ転位が発生することを防止して、ウェーハの強度が低下することも防止できる。
。また、裏面側面取り部W28の幅A2は200μmから300μmの範囲が好ましい。
また、第一傾斜面W11と周縁端Wtとの間には、これらを接続する第一曲面W13が表面最外周Wutに設けられている。また、第二傾斜面W12と周縁端Wtとの間には、これらを接続する第二曲面W14が裏面最外周部Wrtに設けられている。第一曲面W13の曲率半径R1の範囲は80μmから250μmの範囲が好ましく、第二曲面W14の曲率半径R2の範囲は100μmから300μmの範囲が好ましい。
このシリコンウェーハに、析出溶解熱処理工程S13の条件を表1~3に示すように設定し、RTA処理をおこなうとともに、エピタキシャル工程1150℃で膜厚4μmのエピタキシャル膜を成膜した。
