Description

Technical Field

[0001] The invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, and in particular to a pre-cleaning method for silicon carbide substrate leakage detection. Background Art

[0002] With the continuous development of China's semiconductor manufacturing industry, SiC, as a third-generation semiconductor material, has been widely used in industrial fields such as metallurgy, chemical industry, and semiconductor manufacturing. The presence of leaks in silicon carbide substrates will seriously affect epitaxy, and in severe cases will cause device failure. The defects that cause silicon carbide leakage include hollow pipe defects and cracks, with sizes ranging from hundreds of nanometers to tens of microns, or even thousands of microns. During the processing of silicon carbide substrates, abrasives / abrasive fluids accumulate in the pipes. If they are not properly cleaned before leak detection, the accuracy of the leakage detection process will be seriously affected, and it may even lead to the inability to detect leaks, thereby causing immeasurable losses to epitaxial devices.

[0003] Usually, the cobalt carbide substrate needs to go through multiple processing and testing from the ingot to the finished product, generally including cutting, grinding, multi-step polishing, testing, cleaning, epitaxy and other processes. Cutting is usually steel wire cutting, and the surface of the silicon carbide substrate is prone to residual line marks or saw marks after cutting. The line marks or saw marks are removed by grinding later, and at the same time, the roughness of the substrate surface is reduced. After multi-step polishing, the surface roughness of the substrate is further reduced to meet the requirements of epitaxy. At present, leakage detection is usually carried out after polishing. The leakage substrate detected after polishing undoubtedly increases the processing cost of the polishing section, and the current cleaning method is usually ultrasonic cleaning in alcohol or dewaxing water, mainly removing the polishing liquid (diamond powder, aluminum oxide, oxidant, etc.) adhering to the surface of the silicon carbide substrate. This method only has a good effect on the cleaning of stains and large-size defects on the surface of the silicon carbide substrate. However, the impurities in the pipeline defects within 2 microns in the silicon carbide substrate cannot be effectively cleaned and removed, resulting in the inability to fully detect the leakage points in the silicon carbide substrate in the future. Summary of the invention

[0004] In view of the problem that the cleaning method before the silicon carbide substrate leakage detection in the prior art cannot fully remove the impurities in the pipeline defects within 2 microns in the silicon carbide substrate, thereby affecting the detection accuracy, the present invention provides a pre-cleaning method for silicon carbide substrate leakage detection. The present invention advances the cleaning process to after the substrate is ground, and sequentially subjects the ground silicon carbide substrate to ultrasonic water cleaning, multi-band ultrasonic cleaning in hydrofluoric acid / sulfuric acid mixed acid, and alkaline cleaning processes, thereby completely removing the dirt in the micro-sized pipeline defects, thereby significantly improving the accuracy of subsequent leakage detection, reducing the waste of processing costs of the leaking substrate, and having a high value for promotion and application.

[0005] In order to solve the above technical problems, the technical solution provided by the present invention is:

[0006] A pre-cleaning method for silicon carbide substrate leakage detection is performed after the silicon carbide substrate cutting and grinding process. The pre-cleaning method comprises the following steps:

[0007] S1, ultrasonically cleaning the silicon carbide polishing sheet in pure water, wiping the surface, and obtaining a silicon carbide substrate 1;

[0008] S2, performing multi-band ultrasonic cleaning on the silicon carbide substrate I in a mixed acid solution of hydrofluoric acid and sulfuric acid, and bubbling water washing to obtain a silicon carbide substrate II;

[0009] S3, placing the silicon carbide substrate II in a sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution, soaking, bubbling water washing, and drying to obtain a clean silicon carbide substrate.

[0010] Compared with the prior art, the pre-cleaning method for silicon carbide substrate leakage detection provided by the present invention advances the pre-cleaning method to the silicon carbide substrate process, firstly uses pure water ultrasonic cleaning to remove large particles of grinding liquid attached to the surface of the silicon carbide substrate, then multi-band ultrasonic cleaning is performed in a hydrofluoric acid / sulfuric acid mixed acid solution to effectively remove impurities accumulated in tiny pipes, and finally the silicon carbide substrate is immersed in a sodium bicarbonate aqueous solution to remove oil stains on the surface, thereby achieving effective removal of impurities on the surface of the silicon carbide substrate, especially in pipe defects below 2 microns, thereby effectively improving the full detection of silicon carbide substrate leakage points, reducing the waste of processing costs of leaking substrates, and effectively reducing production energy consumption and costs, and having a high value for promotion and application.

The wiping time is 3s to 30s, and a piece of dust-free paper is replaced every time 3 to 5 silicon carbide substrates are wiped.

[0016] Furthermore, in S2, the specific steps of the multi-band ultrasonic cleaning are: firstly ultrasonically cleaning at 110KHz to 130KHz for a first preset time, and then ultrasonically cleaning at 160KHz to 170KHz for a second preset time.

[0019] The preferred multi-band ultrasonic method can not only fully remove impurities in pipeline defects with a size of less than 2 microns, but also help to improve cleaning efficiency and reduce cleaning energy consumption.

[0020] Furthermore, in S2, the specific steps of the multi-band ultrasonic cleaning are: first, ultrasonic cleaning at 40KHz to 50KHz for the third preset time, ultrasonic cleaning at 70KHz to 90KHz for the fourth preset time, ultrasonic cleaning at 110KHz to 130KHz for the fifth preset time, and finally ultrasonic cleaning at 160KHz to 170KHz for the sixth preset time.

[0021] Specifically, in S2, the third preset time is 2 minutes to 5 minutes.

[0023] Specifically, in S2, the fifth preset time is 5 minutes to 10 minutes.

[0025] The preferred multi-band ultrasonic method can fully remove impurities in pipeline defects with a size of less than 2 microns and improve the accuracy of leak point detection.

[0026] Furthermore, in S2, the volume ratio of the hydrofluoric acid to the sulfuric acid is 4:1 to 1:1, wherein the mass concentration of the hydrofluoric acid is 40% to 55%, and the concentration of the sulfuric acid is 95% to 98%.

[0027] Furthermore, in S2, the bubbling time of the bubbling water washing is 30s to 60s, and the overflow time is 5min to 15min.

[0028] Furthermore, in S3, the soaking temperature is 40°C to 60°C, and the soaking time is 5 min to 10 min.

[0029] Furthermore, in S3, the bubbling time of the bubbling water washing is 30s to 60s, and the overflow time is 5min to 15min.

[0030] Furthermore, in S3, the volume ratio of the sodium bicarbonate to water is 1:19 to 1:9.

[0031] Furthermore, in S3, a spin dryer is used to dry the cleaned silicon carbide substrate, the rotation speed of the spin dryer is 600 r / min to 1200 r / min, and the spin drying time is 5 min to 8 min.

[0032] The cleaning method of the silicon carbide substrate provided by the present invention performs layer-by-layer peeling according to the distribution of residues on the surface of the silicon carbide substrate after grinding, and achieves complete removal of residues on the surface of the silicon carbide substrate without destroying the internal structure of the silicon carbide substrate, thereby effectively improving the accuracy of leak point detection and avoiding the waste of processing costs of leaking silicon carbide substrates.
