Definitions
- the present invention relates to wafer drying. More specifically, a wafer drying method in which a drying step after chemical cleaning is performed in a hydrogen radical atmosphere in order to terminate the wafer surface with hydrogen.
- An object of the present invention is to provide a wafer drying method capable of simultaneously performing wafer drying and hydrogen termination, performing a large amount of processing, reducing the number of steps, and eliminating contamination and enabling complete hydrogen termination. I do.
- the present invention provides a mixed gas producing step of mixing an inert gas and a hydrogen gas, a hydrogen radical producing step of radicalizing hydrogen in the mixed gas, and introducing a first mixed gas containing hydrogen radicals into a drying chamber.
- the method is characterized by comprising a gas introducing step and a drying step of drying the wafer after the chemical cleaning step with the first mixed gas in the drying chamber and simultaneously hydrogen-damping the dangling bond.
- the hydrogen radical generator is provided in the first stage of the drying chamber, so that the wafer can be dried with a gas containing extremely active hydrogen radicals. It is possible to terminate the dangling bond with hydrogen. Further, in the present invention, drying and hydrogen termination can be performed at a low temperature, so that contamination of the wafer and thermal effects can be solved.

- FIG. 6 is a schematic diagram of the device used in Example 4.
- FIG. 7 is a graph comparing and evaluating the method of Example 4 and the conventional drying method of only nitrogen using FT-IR. (Explanation of code)
- FIG. 1 shows an outline of the apparatus used in this example.
- nitrogen gas and hydrogen gas were controlled by mass flow controllers 101 and 102, respectively, and introduced into the heating furnace 103 at a flow rate of 10 L and 1 L, respectively, and hydrogen radicals were generated in the heating furnace 103.
- a mixed gas of hydrogen and nitrogen containing hydrogen radicals was sprayed on the wafer in the wafer drying chamber 104.
- the purity of the mixed gas used was an ultra-high-purity gas with impurities of 1 ppb or less, and the reactor was a SUS 316L stainless steel container filled with platinum fibers.
- the temperature of the reactor was 500 ° C. .
- a SUS 316L metal filter and stainless steel tube (1Z4 ") were installed at the rear stage of the reactor to allow gas to be blown from the vicinity of the wafer surface.
- the metal filter and stainless tube were also heated to 500 ° C.
- the temperature inside the drying chamber was set to 100 ° C.
- the cleaning layer and the drying chamber were connected through a gate valve, and the cleaning tank and the drying chamber were isolated from the outside air. The structure was such that the wafers could be processed from the cleaning process to the drying process without exposure to the air, and the drying time was 15 minutes.
- drying was performed with a hydrogen and nitrogen mixed gas having a hydrogen concentration of 10% and a flow rate of 11 L.
- the hydrogen concentration is preferably 0.1% or more, more preferably 1% to 10%.
- the temperature of the reactor, filter, and stainless steel tube was set at 500 ° C, but other temperatures may be used. For example, 50 ° C to 500 ° C is preferable, 200 ° C to 500 ° C is more preferable, and 350 ° C to 50 (TC is optimal.
- the material is not limited to platinum, but may be any material capable of generating hydrogen radicals at 500 ° C. or lower. However, materials that cause metal contamination are not preferred.
- the size of the gas spray nozzle is not limited to 1/4 ".
- stainless steel fiber SUS3 16 L was used instead of the platinum fiber filled in the reactor of Example 1.
- Other conditions were the same as in Example 1.
- FIG. 4 it was found that the drying method using a mixed gas of hydrogen and nitrogen has a stronger infrared absorption of hydrogen-silicon, and that hydrogen termination is surely performed.
- the hydrogen radical generating section in the first stage of the drying chamber of the first embodiment is removed, and instead, an ultraviolet irradiation mechanism is provided in the drying chamber 1, and hydrogen radicals are generated in the chamber 1, thereby cleaning the wafer with a chemical solution.
- an ultraviolet irradiation mechanism is provided in the drying chamber 1, and hydrogen radicals are generated in the chamber 1, thereby cleaning the wafer with a chemical solution.
- Fig. 5 shows an outline of the equipment used in this example. Other points were the same as in Example 1.
- Example 3 a hydrogen radical generation method by a discharge method using a high voltage was used instead of the hydrogen radical generation method by ultraviolet irradiation in Example 3.
- Other conditions were the same as in Example 1.
- FIG. 6 shows an outline of the apparatus used in this example.
- FIG. 7 it was found that the drying method using a mixed gas of hydrogen and nitrogen had a stronger infrared absorption of hydrogen-silicon, and the hydrogen was surely terminated.
- the first aspect of the present invention it becomes possible to terminate dangling bonds remaining on one wafer with hydrogen at the same time as drying the wafer after cleaning with a chemical solution.
- low temperature drying and hydrogen termination is possible, eliminating wafer contamination and thermal effects.
