Abstract

The invention discloses an ion implantation surface modification and nano-scale polishing method of single-crystal SiC. Specifically, the method is performed according to the following steps: step 1,measuring the roughness of the surface of a ground wafer to be polished and determining ion implantation depth according to the surface roughness of the ground wafer; step 2, after an ion implanter chosen for operation is determined, choosing Al ions for implantation, and choosing an ion implantation energy value corresponding to the surface roughness of the wafer for implantation for several times according to the surface roughness of the wafer measured according to step 1 and a proportional relationship between the ion implantation depth and the ion implantation energy value, so that ions are uniformly distributed along both the implantation depth and the longitudinal direction; and step 3, placing the ion-implanted wafer into a polisher to remove a surface layer, subjected to ion implantation, of the wafer. By adopting the method provided by the invention, the physical and mechanical properties of a surface layer of a brittle material can be improved actively, the hardness and brittleness of the material are reduced and thus a very small mechanical acting force is adopted for removal.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of ultra-precision processing of brittle materials, and in particular relates to a single crystal SiC ion implantation surface modification and nanoscale polishing method. Background technique [0002] With the development of technology, SiC, as a third-generation semiconductor material, is more and more widely used in power devices and IC industries. After the breakthrough of its large-diameter growth process, the wafer manufacturing process has become the focus of attention. Due to high hardness and brittleness, the cutting, grinding, and polishing of SiC single wafers become the bottleneck of the device manufacturing process. The main purpose of polishing is to reduce surface roughness. [0003] At present, the main polishing methods of single crystal SiC are: (1) chemical methods: such as chemical mechanical polishing (CMP), which makes the surface layer material react with the elements in the polishin...
