Description
Technical Field
[0001] The present invention relates to an indium phosphide polishing liquid and a polishing method, belonging to the technical field of indium phosphide polishing. Background Art
[0002] Indium phosphide is an important semiconductor material, which enables optical systems to provide the performance required for data centers, mobile backhaul, subway, and long-haul applications. Lasers, photodiodes, and waveguides fabricated on InP operate in the optimal transmission window of glass fibers, thus enabling efficient fiber optic communication. Indium phosphide is an important substrate material for fabricating high-speed devices, circuits, and optoelectronic integrated circuits. The surface quality of its polished wafers has an important impact on subsequent epitaxy and device performance. As an important parameter index for characterizing surface quality, surface roughness needs to be strictly controlled during the polishing process.
[0003] The growth method of VGF is used to provide high-performance indium phosphide wafers, which are sliced, ground, polished, and cleaned to meet the "ready-to-use" requirement. To meet the epitaxy requirements, polishing includes two steps: rough polishing and fine polishing. The existing rough polishing process has a removal rate of 0.3 - 0.5 μm / min, with low rough polishing efficiency, and the components of the rough polishing liquid are complex and costly; for fine polishing, an imported polishing liquid mixture is used to polish indium phosphide wafers to make the wafer surface meet the requirement of 0.3 nm. Due to the high price and long transportation cycle of the imported polishing mixture, the processing cost of indium phosphide wafers is high. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The present invention provides an indium phosphide polishing liquid and a polishing method. The components of the polishing liquid are simple, easy to configure, improve the rough polishing efficiency, and reduce the fine polishing cost.
[0005] To solve the above technical problems, the technical solutions adopted by the present invention are as follows:
[0006] An indium phosphide polishing liquid includes a rough polishing liquid 1 and a fine polishing liquid 2 used in combination;
[0007] The rough polishing liquid 1 is composed of trichloroisocyanuric acid, silica abrasive A, and high-purity water. Among them, the weight ratio of trichloroisocyanuric acid, silica abrasive A, and high-purity water is (18 - 36):(80 - 120):(3000 - 5000);
[0008] The fine polishing liquid 2 is composed of trichloroisocyanuric acid, organic acid, silica abrasive B, high-purity water, and acidic activator sodium benzenesulfonate. Among them, the organic acid is at least one of malic acid, lactic acid, or citric acid. The weight ratio of trichloroisocyanuric acid, organic acid, silica abrasive B, high-purity water, and acidic activator is (60 - 120):(60 - 300):(100 - 300):(20000 - 50000):(60 - 150).
[0009] When preparing the rough polishing liquid 1, mix all components evenly to obtain the rough polishing liquid 1; when preparing the fine polishing liquid 2, first mix trichloroisocyanuric acid, organic acid, silicon dioxide abrasive B and high-purity water evenly, and then add an acidic surfactant and mix evenly to obtain the fine polishing liquid 2.
[0010] The rough polishing liquid 1 and the fine polishing liquid 2 of this application need to be used in combination. That is, during the polishing process of indium phosphide, the rough polishing requires the use of the rough polishing liquid 1, and the fine polishing requires the use of the fine polishing liquid 2. The two are used in combination. Only in this way can the polishing effect be ensured, and this application only needs two steps of rough polishing and fine polishing to complete the polishing process, and no other polishing processes are required between or before and after rough polishing and fine polishing.
[0011] Trichloroisocyanuric acid provides oxidant and acid radical ions for the rough polishing liquid 1 and the fine polishing liquid 2, silicon dioxide A provides abrasive for the rough polishing liquid 1, and silicon dioxide B provides abrasive for the fine polishing liquid 2; the acidic surfactant uses sodium benzenesulfonate, which can increase the dispersion effect and lubricity during polishing and improve the surface quality.
[0012] The organic acid in the fine polishing liquid 2 is at least one of malic acid, lactic acid or citric acid, which is used to provide pH adjustment for the fine polishing liquid 2 and adjust the rate of chemical corrosion.
[0013] For the rough polishing liquid 1 and the fine polishing liquid 2 of the present invention, the raw materials used are convenient to obtain and can completely replace imported products, reducing the dependence on foreign companies.
[0014] The components of the rough polishing liquid 1 and the fine polishing liquid 2 of this application are simple and convenient to prepare, which improves the chemical reaction speed of the rough polishing liquid, improves the rough polishing efficiency, and reduces the fine polishing cost.
[0015] It should be noted that: the polishing processes of other wafers cannot be applied to indium phosphide wafers. For example, currently, germanium polishing liquid mainly uses a mixture of sodium bicarbonate + sodium hypochlorite + silicon dioxide abrasive. When it is used to polish indium phosphide wafers, since the alkaline solution does not react with indium phosphide, the formed oxide adheres to the wafer surface, resulting in basically no removal amount during polishing; another example is that gallium arsenide polishing liquid is composed of sodium dichloroisocyanurate + sodium sulfate + sodium polyphosphate + sodium bicarbonate + silicon dioxide abrasive. When it is used to polish indium phosphide, the surface of indium phosphide is oxidized but cannot be removed, so there is no removal amount during polishing. Therefore, for wafers of different materials, due to the differences in material properties, different polishing liquids need to be prepared.
[0016] In order to further improve the polishing effect, in the above-mentioned fine polishing liquid 2, when the organic acid is malic acid, the weight ratio of trichloroisocyanuric acid, organic acid, silica abrasive B, high-purity water and acidic surfactant is (60 - 120):(100 - 300):(100 - 300):(20000 - 50000):(60 - 150); when the organic acid is lactic acid, the weight ratio of trichloroisocyanuric acid, organic acid, silica abrasive B, high-purity water and acidic surfactant is (60 - 120):(80 - 240):(100 - 300):(20000 - 50000):(60 - 150); when the organic acid is citric acid, the weight ratio of trichloroisocyanuric acid, organic acid, silica abrasive B, high-purity water and acidic surfactant is (60 - 120):(60 - 180):(100 - 300):
[0017] (20000 - 50000):(60 - 150).
[0018] The selection of raw material grades will also directly affect the polishing effect. In order to better ensure the polishing effect, in the rough polishing liquid 1, the effective chlorine content of trichloroisocyanuric acid is greater than 90%, and the purity requirement is AR grade; the particle size of silica abrasive is required to be 60 - 140 nm, the effective abrasive concentration is 29 - 45%, and the chemical grade of the abrasive is EL grade; the purity requirement of high-purity water is not less than 18 MΩ.cm; in the fine polishing liquid 2, the effective chlorine content of trichloroisocyanuric acid is greater than 90%, and the purity requirement is AR grade; the purity requirement of organic acid is AR grade; the particle size of silica abrasive is required to be 10 - 30 nm, the effective abrasive concentration is 25 - 35%, and the chemical grade of the abrasive is EL grade; the purity requirement of high-purity water is not less than 18 MΩ.cm; the acidic surfactant used is sodium benzenesulfonate, and the purity requirement is AR grade.
[0019] A polishing method for indium phosphide wafers includes the following steps:
[0020] Step 1: Disk loading operation. Paste an acid-proof wax-free pad on the ceramic disk, place the wafer to be rough-polished into the holes of the acid-proof wax-free pad, and press the wafer tightly.
[0021] Step 2: Adsorb the ceramic disk with the wafer on the rough polishing machine head, lower the rough polishing machine head, turn on the peristaltic pump of the rough polishing liquid 1. When the rough polishing liquid 1 flows out, turn on the operation button of the polishing machine to complete rough polishing. Among them, the rotation speed of the rough polishing machine head is 50 - 70 rpm, the rotation speed of the fixed disk of the polishing machine is 60 - 90 rpm, the liquid outlet speed of the rough polishing liquid 1 is 700 - 800 ml / min, and the rough polishing removal amount is 1.5 - 2 μm / min.
[0022] Step 3: Adsorb the ceramic disc on the fine polishing machine head, lower the fine polishing machine head, turn on the peristaltic pump of the fine polishing liquid 2. When the fine polishing liquid 2 flows out, turn on the polishing machine button to complete fine polishing. Among them, the rotation speed of the fine polishing machine head is 40 - 80 revolutions / min, the rotation speed of the polishing machine's fixed disc is 50 - 90 revolutions / min, the liquid outlet speed of the fine polishing liquid 2 is 500 - 600 ml / min, and the fine polishing time is 8 - 15 minutes;
[0023] Step 4: Place the cassette in the sorting box of overflow high-purity water. After fine polishing, remove the ceramic disc, rinse it with a shower for 10 - 15 seconds, then use the wafer picker to pick up and hold the wafer, rinse it with a shower for 10 - 15 seconds, then insert the wafer into the cassette. After all the wafers on the ceramic disc are removed, put the cassette with the wafers into the spin dryer and spin dry.
[0024] The rough polishing machine head has a vacuum to adsorb the ceramic disc. An acid-proof wax-free pad is pasted on the ceramic disc, and indium phosphide wafers are placed in the holes of the wax-free pad. The rough polishing machine head descends and presses on the polishing machine's fixed disc. The rough polishing machine head and the polishing machine's fixed disc rotate in the same direction to achieve the polishing effect. The same is true for the fine polishing process.
[0025] The above steps are simple and convenient to operate.
[0026] To further ensure the polishing effect, in the above Step 1, the flatness (TTV) of the ceramic disc is not greater than 2 μm; the acid-proof wax-free pad is made of polyurethane foam, and the TTV requirement is not greater than 10 μm.
[0027] In Step 2, a Reed X62 - 360 - copper type polishing machine is used for rough polishing. The model of the peristaltic pump is BT600L type, and the pump head rotation speed is adjustable from 0 to 500 revolutions.
[0028] In Step 3, an AM - ADL810 single-sided polishing machine is used for fine polishing. The model of the peristaltic pump is BT600L type, and the pump head rotation speed is adjustable from 0 to 500 revolutions.
[0029] In Step 5, a CXS - 2150 type spin dryer is used. When spin drying, first rinse, then dry with nitrogen. The rinsing water pressure is 0.2 - 0.3 kg / cm2, the rinsing rotation speed is 600 ± 50 revolutions / minute, and the rinsing time is 100 ± 10 seconds; the nitrogen drying temperature is 30 - 40 °C, the drying time is 300 ± 10 seconds, and the drying rotation speed is 1500 ± 50 revolutions.
[0030] For technologies not mentioned in the present invention, refer to the prior art.

[0052] Comparative Example 1
[0053] Replace the dosage of trichloroisocyanuric acid in the rough polishing liquid 1 in Example 1 with 300 g, and the rest refer to Example 1. The rough polishing removal rate is 1.0 - 1.3 μm / min, and the removal rate decreases significantly. The surface quality of rough polishing is basically the same as that with a dosage of 400 g. Replace the dosage of trichloroisocyanuric acid in the rough polishing liquid 1 in Example 1 with 750 g, and the rest refer to Example 1. The dissolution rate of trichloroisocyanuric acid slows down, and a small amount of solid at the bottom does not dissolve. Compared with Example 1, the removal rate does not increase. The surface quality of the rough polished wafer is worse than that with a dosage of 400 g, with a little scratch.
[0054] Comparative Example 2
[0055] Replace the dosage of trichloroisocyanuric acid in the fine polishing liquid 1 in Example 1 with 110 g, and the rest refer to Example 1. The fine polishing removal rate decreases, with fewer scratches. The edge of the wafer surface is not sufficiently removed during the same fine polishing time, and the surface roughness Ra1 = 0.197. When the dosage of trichloroisocyanuric acid in the fine polishing liquid 1 in Example 1 is replaced with 250 g, the fine polishing removal amount increases compared with the original, the surface removal is sufficient, the surface roughness of the fine polished wafer Ra2 = 0.159, and there is an increasing trend.
[0056] Comparative Example 3
[0057] Replace the rough polishing liquid 1 in Example 1 with a conventional indium phosphide rough polishing liquid: 100 L of high-purity water + sodium dichloroisocyanurate (1000 g) + sodium bicarbonate (500 g) + silicon dioxide abrasive (2 L) + citric acid (50 L). The rest refer to Example 1. The flow rate of the polishing liquid is 750 ml / min, and the polishing removal rate is 0.4 μm / min. The removal rate is slow, the efficiency is low, and the consumption of citric acid is large, resulting in high cost.
