Problems solved by technology

[0002] Silicon carbide (SiC) wafer is a very important third-generation semiconductor material. Due to the high hardness of SiC crystal, the Mohs hardness is about 9.3, which is slightly lower than that of diamond, which makes its processing difficult. At present, the traditional polishing fluid uses silicon dioxide The disadvantage of polishing liquid is that the removal rate is low and the processing time is very long. Silicon dioxide in the polishing liquid is easy to crystallize, and it is easy to cause a large number of scratches on the processed surface during production.
[0003] It takes 6-8 hours to treat the surface of SiC wafer with the existing polishing liquid, and the removal rate is low

Abstract

The invention discloses a polishing solution for silicon carbide wafers. The polishing solution is prepared from, by weight, 10-30% of a silicon dioxide polishing solution with the particle size of 50-100 nm, 0.1-10% of a nano-sized diamond grinding solution with the particle size of 50-200 nm, 3-20% of an assistant oxidizing agent, 0.5-10% of a pH regulator and the balance of deionized water. The pH value of the mixed polishing solution for silicon carbide wafers ranges from 7 to 9. The polishing solution is suitable for chemico-mechanical polishing of SiC wafers. The polishing solution has the advantages that the removal speed is high (removal can be completed within 1-3 h), processed silicon carbide wafers are bright, the surfaces of processed silicon carbide wafers are smooth and uniform without obvious scratches when observed with a strong light, and the surface roughness can stably reach a value smaller than 0.3 nm when detected with an atomic force microscope.
