Problems solved by technology

Regardless of front pattern etching, mesa isolation or back deep hole etching, etc., the by-products produced after etching have a fatal impact on the performance of the chip. If they cannot be removed, they will directly affect the performance, yield and reliability of the product; The by-products produced after etching are closely related to the material composition and etching gas. The existing cleaning methods can effectively remove a small amount of by-products produced by etching, but they are not suitable for large-area mesa, higher steps and deep holes. It is difficult to completely remove a large amount of products after etching, so it is particularly important to completely remove these etching by-products

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the technical field of semiconductor cleaning, and in particular relates to a method for cleaning semiconductor wafers after etching. Background technique [0002] With the continuous development of semiconductors and their wide application fields, the performance requirements are getting higher and higher. As a key supporting technology, etching technology is indispensable in the semiconductor process, which determines the performance of the chip to some extent. For example, the backside through hole process in the semiconductor process can effectively reduce the source grounding inductance and increase heat dissipation Performance is regarded as a key process. Regardless of front pattern etching, mesa isolation or back deep hole etching, etc., the by-products produced after etching have a fatal impact on the performance of the chip. If they cannot be removed, they will directly affect the performance, yield and reliability o...
