Embodiment 1

[0048] In this example, as shown in Table 1, a cleaning solution having a hydrogen fluoride concentration of 0.1% by weight and a hydrochloric acid concentration of 10% by weight was prepared.

[0049] Next, chemical mechanical polishing using cerium oxide as abrasive grains was performed on a silicon substrate having a diameter of 200 mm on which the TEOS film was formed, and this was used as an object to be cleaned. In this object to be cleaned, by the measurement of the remaining state of the residue described later, 1000×10 9 atom / cm 2 Left and right cerium oxide was confirmed as a residue component.

[0050] Next, the above-mentioned cleaning solution was filled into a cleaning solution tank with a volume of 90 L, and the temperature of the cleaning solution was adjusted to 25° C. to stabilize the temperature of the cleaning solution. Here, after holding the object to be cleaned in the silicon substrate holding member made of PFA resin, it was immersed in the cleaning l...

Embodiment 2~11

[0052] In Examples 2 to 12, as shown in Table 1, except that the composition and concentration of the cleaning solution were changed, it carried out similarly to the said Example 1, and each cleaning solution was produced. Furthermore, the cleaning treatment using each cleaning solution and the like were performed in the same manner as in the above-mentioned Example 1. The results are shown in Table 1 below.

Embodiment 12

[0060] In this example, as the object to be cleaned, a silicon substrate with a diameter of 200 mm on which a polysilicon film was formed was used, and, as shown in Table 2, the composition and concentration of the cleaning liquid were changed. Each cleaning liquid was produced by carrying out. Furthermore, the cleaning treatment using each cleaning solution and the like were performed in the same manner as in the above-mentioned Example 1. The good and bad removal performance is to reduce the amount of granular solids after treatment to 8.5×10 9 atom / cm 2 The following conditions are regarded as good and will not be reduced to 8.5×10 9 atom / cm 2 situation as bad. The results are shown in Table 2 below.

Abstract

Disclosed is a cleaning liquid which is capable of cleaning an object to be cleaned, to the surface of which cerium oxide adheres, by dissolving and removing cerium oxide in the form of cerium ions. A cleaning method using the cleaning liquid is also disclosed. The cleaning liquid for removing cerium oxide is characterized by containing hydrogen fluoride, at least one acid selected from the group consisting of hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, phosphoric acid, iodic acid and hydrobromic acid, and water. The cleaning liquid is also characterized by dissolving and removing cerium oxide in the form of cerium ions.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to a cleaning solution capable of cleaning and removing cerium oxide from an object to be cleaned to which cerium oxide has adhered, and a cleaning method using the cleaning solution. Background technique [0002] For the purpose of achieving high performance in large scale integration (ULSI), miniaturization of circuit design is being promoted. In order to form very fine circuit structures ranging from fine to nanometer scale, new manufacturing techniques that have not been applied until now are required in many manufacturing processes. [0003] In particular, as the most important steps for forming a fine structure on a semiconductor substrate, there are exposure and development steps using optical methods. The same uniform focusing on the surface of the semiconductor substrate for producing this fine structure is closely related to the flatness of the substrate surface. That is, when the flatness of the substrate surf...
