Problems solved by technology

However, the thermal budget of the very large-scale integrated circuit process has a tendency to decrease continuously, so the internal gettering process of Czochralski silicon wafers also needs to be further reduced

Abstract

The invention discloses an internal gettering process of a Czochralski silicon wafer, which comprises the following steps of: (1) in nitrogen atmosphere, heating the Czochralski silicon wafer at a speed of 50-100 DEG C / sec to 1200-1250 DEG C, holding for 30-150 seconds, and then cooling the Czochralski silicon wafer at a speed of 5-50 DEG C / sec to 800-1000 DEG C, and naturally cooling; and (2) annealing the Czochralski silicon wafer after being treated in the step (1) in argon atmosphere at a temperature of 800-900 DEG C for 8 to 16 hours. The invention only comprises a two-step heat treatment process, the required temperature and time are lower than those of the traditional process, and the heat budget is obviously reduced; and in addition, the concentration of bulk micro-defect and the width of a clean zone can be conveniently controlled by the temperature, time and cooling speed of rapid heat treatment of the first step.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a gettering process for silicon wafers, in particular to an internal gettering process for Czochralski silicon wafers. Background technique [0002] Czochralski silicon wafer is the basic material of integrated circuits. One of the fundamental reasons is that Czochralski silicon wafer has internal gettering ability related to oxygen precipitation. Integrated circuits will inevitably encounter metal contamination during the manufacturing process. If the metal contamination in the active region of the device cannot be eliminated, the manufacturing yield of integrated circuits will drop significantly. In order to solve this problem, high-density oxygen precipitation and its induced defects are usually formed in the silicon wafer (this area is called the bulk micro-defect region); and the near-surface area of ​​the silicon wafer (ie: the active area of ​​the device) Oxygen precipitation does not form (this area is called clean zon...
