Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present application belongs to the field of semiconductor manufacturing technology, and specifically relates to a method and a device for preparing a silicon carbide epitaxial wafer. Background Art
[0002] Silicon carbide (SiC) is a new type of semiconductor material. Compared with silicon wafers, silicon carbide has a larger bandwidth and higher thermal conductivity, enabling it to work in high-frequency and high-power applications. This makes silicon carbide wafers have broad application prospects in fields such as wireless communications, radar systems, and power transmission. However, despite major breakthroughs and rapid development of SiC technology, the poor surface quality of its epitaxial layer and high preparation cost are two major factors limiting the industrialization of SiC. At present, defects such as triangular defects, drips, and carrots in SiC epitaxial layers are considered to be fatal defects. For example, the triangular defects in the epitaxial layer can reduce the breakdown voltage of electronic devices such as JBS, SBD, MOSFET, BJT, IGBT, etc. by about 50%-90%.
[0003] The existing process can control the triangular defects by increasing the temperature. As the temperature increases, the gas phase nucleation of silicon is suppressed, thereby reducing the number of triangular defects on the surface of the epitaxial layer. However, as the temperature increases, step defects will appear on the surface of the epitaxial layer. The aggregation of step defects will increase the leakage current in the Schottky diode, resulting in a decrease in the breakdown voltage. Summary of the invention

[0047] The disclosure below provides many different embodiments or examples to realize the different structures of the present application. In order to simplify the disclosure of the present application, the parts and settings of specific examples are described below. Of course, they are only examples, and the purpose is not to limit the present application.
[0048] The first embodiment of the present application provides a method for preparing a silicon carbide epitaxial wafer, such as Figure 1 As shown, the following steps are included:
[0049] S1, providing a substrate 100, and placing the substrate 100 in an epitaxial reaction chamber;
[0050] S2, heating the substrate 100, controlling the distance H mm between the substrate 100 and the heating source, and the reaction temperature T°C in the epitaxial reaction chamber;
[0051] S3, introducing a carrier gas, a growth source and a doping source to prepare an epitaxial layer 200 on the surface of the substrate 100 to obtain a silicon carbide epitaxial wafer.
[0052] Among them, the distance H mm and the reaction temperature T℃ satisfy:
[0053] 5.5≤(T-1500) / H≤7.
[0054] It is understandable that the value of (T-1500) / H can be any value among 5.5, 6.0, 6.5, 7.0 or a range between any two values. By counting the length, width and height of the epitaxial wafer triangle defect in different regions of the wafer, such as Figure 3 As shown, it can be seen that the triangle in the center of the epitaxial wafer has a longer tail and a more regular edge. This is due to the temperature difference between the center and the edge. The difference in the edge ring airflow causes the edge temperature to be low, and its triangular defects are more regular. For the triangle in the center, the temperature is higher and the growth rate is faster, which causes the growth rate of 3C-SiC to accelerate in the height direction, resulting in longer boundaries of 3C-SiC and 4H-SiC. The distance between the substrate 100 and the heated heat source will affect the temperature field on the surface of the substrate 100, and thus affect the formation of triangular defects on the surface of the epitaxial wafer. By controlling the distance between the substrate and the heated heat source, the airflow and temperature field on the surface of the substrate are adjusted, and the temperature difference between the center and the edge of the wafer is reduced, thereby reducing triangular defects on the surface of the wafer; at the same time, the distance between the substrate and the heated heat source is combined with the temperature in the epitaxial reaction chamber, which can ensure the growth rate of the epitaxial layer and reduce triangular defects while avoiding the appearance of step defects, thereby improving the overall quality of the epitaxial wafer.
[0055] In some embodiments, the carrier gas has a first flow rate Q1 slm, satisfying:
[0056] 1680≤H·Q1≤2570.
[0057] It can be understood that the value of the product of the distance H between the substrate 100 and the heated heat source and the first flow rate Q1 (unit: mm·slm) can be any value among 1680, 1830, 1980, 2130, 2280, 2430, 2570 or a range between any two values. The triangular defects in the epitaxial wafer are mostly caused by the dropped objects during the growth of the epitaxial layer. When the etching carrier gas flow is large, it is easy for the loose silicon carbide particles in the cavity to fall on the tray, and when the carrier gas flow is small, it may cause the growth rate of the epitaxial layer 200 to be too slow, and the etching effect is not in place, causing surface defects; in addition, the distance between the substrate 100 and the heated heat source will affect the airflow on the surface of the substrate 100. When the distance H mm and the flow rate of the carrier gas meet the above relationship, it can ensure that the final epitaxial wafer has fewer defects.
[0058] In some embodiments, the growth source has a second flow rate Q2 sccm, and the doping source has a third flow rate Q3 sccm, satisfying:
[0059] Q1: Q2: Q3=1~1.5: 1~5: 0.5~4.
[0060] It is understandable that during the growth of the silicon carbide epitaxial wafer, the carrier gas can also act as a dilution gas to adjust the pressure in the epitaxial reaction chamber. At the same time, the ratio of the carrier gas, the growth source and the doping source in the epitaxial reaction chamber will also affect the competitive relationship between C and N on the surface of the epitaxial layer 200; and even if the C / N ratio is maintained at the same, the amount of hydrogen acting as a dilution gas and a carrier will also affect the exhaustion effect of the growth and doping gases along the way, which will further affect the C / Si ratio and the N ratio on the surface of the actual epitaxial layer 200, and at the same time affect the growth rate of the epitaxial layer 200. Therefore, when the flow rate ratio of the carrier gas, the growth source and the doping source satisfies the above relationship, it can ensure that the finally formed silicon carbide epitaxial wafer has ideal doping uniformity and good surface quality.
[0061] In some embodiments, the distance H mm further satisfies: 16.8≤H≤19.8.
[0062] It can be understood that the value of the distance H (unit: mm) can be any value among 16.8, 17.3, 17.8, 18.3, 18.8, 19.3, 19.8 or a range between any two values. When the distance H mm between the substrate 100 and the heating heat source satisfies the above value range, the airflow and temperature field on the surface of the substrate 100 can be further adjusted, and the temperature difference between the center and the edge of the wafer can be reduced, thereby reducing the triangular defects on the wafer surface.
[0063] In some embodiments, the reaction temperature T°C further satisfies: 1580≤T≤1640. It is understood that the value of the reaction temperature T (unit: °C) can be any value among 1580, 1600, 1620, 1640 or a range between any two values.
[0064] In some embodiments, the first flow rate Q1 slm further satisfies: 100≤Q1≤130. It can be understood that the value of the first flow rate Q1 (unit: slm) can be any value among 100, 110, 120, 130 or a range between any two values.
[0065] In some embodiments, the second flow rate Q2 slm further satisfies: 120≤Q2≤470. It can be understood that the value of the second flow rate Q2 (unit: slm) can be any value of 120, 200, 300, 400, 470 or a range between any two values.
[0066] In some embodiments, the third flow rate Q3 slm further satisfies: 50≤Q3≤400. It can be understood that the value of the third flow rate Q3 (unit: slm) can be any value of 50, 100, 200, 300, 400 or a range between any two values.
[0067] When the reaction temperature T°C, the first flow rate Q1 slm, the second flow rate Q2 slm, and the third flow rate Q3 slm satisfy the above value ranges, the lattice structure inside the silicon carbide epitaxial wafer can be further optimized, while reducing defects such as triangular defects on the outer surface.
[0068] In some embodiments, the carrier gas includes hydrogen.
[0069] In some embodiments, the growth source includes a carbon source and a silicon source.
[0070] In some embodiments, the doping source includes a nitrogen source.
[0071] In some embodiments, the flow ratio of the carbon source to the silicon source is 1-3:2-9.
[0072] It can be understood that the flow ratio of the carbon source and the silicon source can be any value of 1:2, 1:3, 2:5, 3:8, 1:9 or a range between any two values. When the flow ratio of the carbon source and the silicon source meets the above range of values, it can control the integrity of the crystal structure in the silicon carbide epitaxial wafer, while ensuring that the epitaxial layer 200 has a reasonable growth rate and avoiding the occurrence of triangular defects and step defects.
[0073] In some embodiments, the carbon source includes at least one of ethylene and propane.
[0074] In some embodiments, the silicon source includes at least one of trimethylsilyl chloride and silane.
[0075] In some embodiments, the nitrogen source includes at least one of ammonia and nitrogen.
[0076] In some embodiments, the step of introducing a carrier gas, a growth source, and a doping source further comprises:
[0077] Pass inert gas;
[0078] The flow rate of the inert gas is 0.5 to 1.0 slm.
[0079] It is understood that the flow rate of the inert gas (unit: slm) can be any value among 0.5, 0.6, 0.7, 0.8, 0.9, 1.0 or a range between any two values. The inert gas can be used as a diluent gas to further adjust the pressure in the epitaxial reaction chamber, thereby regulating the growth rate of the epitaxial layer 200 and reducing the generation of triangle defects and step defects.
[0080] In some embodiments, the inert gas may be argon.
[0081] In some embodiments, in the step of preparing an epitaxial layer on the surface of the substrate 100, the pressure in the epitaxial reaction chamber is 80-100 mbar.
[0082] It is understandable that the value of the pressure in the epitaxial reaction chamber (unit: mbar) can be any value among 80, 85, 90, 95, 100 or a range between any two values. When the pressure in the epitaxial reaction chamber meets the above value range, the epitaxial layer 200 has an ideal growth rate and reduces the generation of triangle defects and step defects.
[0083] The second embodiment of the present application provides a device for preparing a silicon carbide epitaxial wafer, which is used to implement the method for preparing a silicon carbide epitaxial wafer in any of the above embodiments, such as Figure 2 As shown, including:
[0084] The carrying part 10 is used for carrying the substrate 100;
[0085] The heating part 20 is used to heat the substrate 100 . The heating part 20 is located on a side of the carrier part 10 away from the substrate 100 , and is detachably connected to the carrier part 10 .
[0086] Based on the above embodiments, Figure 2As shown, the bearing part 10 may include an air floating tray and a graphite tray, and the edge of the heating part 20 is provided with an annular boss to form a groove, so that the bearing part 10 can be detachably embedded in the groove of the heating part 20. When the carrier gas flow is introduced into the epitaxial chamber, the gas flow flows into the groove between the bearing part 10 and the heating part 20, suspending the air floating tray on the top of the heating part 20 and causing the air floating tray to rotate.
[0087] In some embodiments, Figure 2 As shown, the device for preparing silicon carbide epitaxial wafer further includes a connecting portion 30;
[0088] The bearing portion 10 is provided with a first placement groove 11 , the heating portion 20 is provided with a second placement groove 21 corresponding to the first placement groove 11 , and the connecting portion 30 is disposed in both the first placement groove 11 and the second placement groove 21 .
[0089] The connection part 30 can further fix the bearing part 10 . When the carrier gas flows into the epitaxial chamber, the connection part 30 can stabilize the relative position of the bearing part 10 and the heating part 20 during the rotation process without deviation.
[0090] In some embodiments, along the thickness direction of the carrier 10 , a first dimension D is present between a side of the connection portion 30 close to the substrate 100 and a side of the carrier 10 far from the substrate 100 , satisfying: 5.75 mm≤D≤5.95 mm.
[0091] It can be understood that the value of the first dimension D (unit: mm) can be any value between 5.75, 5.8, 5.85, 5.9, and 5.95 or a range between any two values. When the exposed height of the connecting portion 30 relative to the heating portion 20 is too high, it is easy to cause the lifting position of the bearing portion 10 to be too high, the thermal field is affected by the heating, the temperature difference between the edge and the center is large, and the low temperature is not conducive to the triangular transformation. At the same time, it will also cause the bearing portion 10 to be unstable during the rotation process, offset, contact and friction with the connecting portion 30 to cause carbon powder overflow, and the connecting portion 30 to wear, which is not conducive to the stability of growth, and may even cause the connecting portion 30 to break; and when the exposed height of the connecting portion 30 relative to the heating portion 20 is too low, it will cause the lifting position of the bearing portion 10 to be too low, the distance between the bearing portion 10 and the heating portion 20 is too close, and it is easy to contact the base to generate friction, which will also cause carbon powder to overflow, affecting the particle size in the epitaxial reaction chamber, and at the same time, it will cause the bearing portion 10 to rotate unsteadily, affecting the film thickness and doping uniformity of the epitaxial layer 200. Therefore, when the first dimension D satisfies the above value range, it can ensure that the connection portion 30 has a reasonable exposure height, thereby controlling the epitaxial wafer to have fewer triangular defects and good thickness and doping uniformity.
[0092] The following is a description of the method and device for preparing a silicon carbide epitaxial wafer provided by the present application in conjunction with specific embodiments:
