Problems solved by technology

[0004] However, since the silicon wafer itself contains metal impurities, such as rapid heat treatment and other semiconductor manufacturing processes, not only will the metal ions in the atmosphere of the machine diffuse to the surface of the silicon wafer, but also the metal impurities in the silicon wafer will be enriched on the surface of the silicon wafer.
As a result, the test results include not only the metal pollution actually brought by the machine, but also the metal impurities of the silicon wafer, which affects the accurate judgment of the metal pollution actually brought by the machine

Abstract

The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing, in particular to a method for reducing metal impurities of a silicon wafer. The method is carried out before a device manufacturing process is carried out, and the method for reducing the metal impurities of the silicon wafer comprises the following steps: providing a silicon wafer body; the surface layer of the silicon wafer body is oxidized to form an oxide layer through a thermal annealing process, the oxide layer and the remaining silicon wafer body form a boundary layer, and metal impurities in the silicon wafer body are enriched towards the boundary layer; and the oxide layer including the boundary layer is removed, metal impurities contained in the remaining silicon wafer body are reduced, and the metal impurities of the silicon wafer can be reduced before the silicon wafer is subjected to metal element testing.

Description

technical field [0001] The present application relates to the technical field of semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing, in particular to a method for reducing metal impurities on a silicon wafer. Background technique [0002] Silicon wafers are the basic material of the semiconductor manufacturing industry. Since metal contamination on the silicon surface may lead to device function failure or poor reliability, it is extremely important to prevent metal contamination of silicon wafers in the semiconductor integrated circuit manufacturing process. [0003] Related technologies usually use ICPMS (elemental analysis instrument) to test the metal elements on the surface of silicon wafers. The test results will be used as an indispensable monitoring method in the silicon wafer manufacturing process, and also an important method and indicator to improve device performance. [0004] However, since the silicon wafer itself contains metal impurities, semiconductor manufactur...
