Description

Technical Field

[0002] CdZnTe single crystal material is the best substrate material for preparing high-performance HgCdTe infrared focal plane detectors. Large-size CdZnTe substrates are not only required for the development of high-resolution, large-array HgCdTe infrared detectors, but also one of the most effective means to improve the efficiency of HgCdTe epitaxy and device front-end tape-out. By improving the processing technology of large-size CdZnTe substrates, it can support the development and production of larger quantities of second-generation and third-generation HgCdTe infrared detectors.

[0003] Generally, the processing of CdZnTe wafers involves chamfering, grinding, polishing, cleaning and other steps. As the diameter of CdZnTe crystals increases, when the wafer size after slicing reaches 50mm×50mm or more, in order to obtain a better surface shape and surface state and lay the foundation for subsequent polishing, it is necessary to remove the surface undulations and damaged layers of the substrate through a grinding process. However, whether in the chamfering process or the grinding process before grinding, the risk of fragmentation of large-sized CdZnTe wafers is relatively high, resulting in a low yield of large-sized wafers and a waste of materials. In addition, the surface flatness of the wafer after processing is also difficult to control, which in turn affects the subsequent epitaxial process and device interconnection process.

[0027] The exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings. Although the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure are shown in the accompanying drawings, it should be understood that the present disclosure can be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. On the contrary, these embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

[0028] During the high-speed cutting process of CdZnTe crystals, the cut wafers will be damaged or cracked. The main purpose of subsequent processing is to remove these damages and cracks. However, as the size of the substrate increases, the processing of large-sized CdZnTe substrates takes a long time. In addition, during the processing, due to the increase in grinding pressure, large abrasive particles are prone to cause cracks and cleavage in some areas of the wafer surface under high pressure, resulting in substrate loss.

[0029] In addition, if the cutting damage is removed only by polishing with a smaller abrasive, not only will the processing time be very long, but the wear of the polishing pad will also increase. Because the polishing pad for double-sided polishing is a soft polishing pad, the deformation of the polishing pad during polishing is not friendly to the surface flatness of the wafer after polishing, and after double-sided grinding, the amount of removal required in the double-sided polishing step is large (generally greater than 30μm), which further deteriorates the surface flatness of the wafer and cannot meet subsequent use requirements.

[0030] In order to overcome the above problems, the embodiments of the present application provide a large-size CdZnTe substrate processing method with high efficiency, low fragmentation rate and good flatness when processing substrates with a substrate size of 50 mm×50 mm or more.

[0031] See also Figure 1 , Figure 1 A schematic diagram of a process for processing a large-size CdZnTe substrate surface provided in an embodiment of the present application. Figure 1 As shown, the specific steps include the following steps.

[0032] Step S102: obtaining a CdZnTe wafer that has been cut, placing the CdZnTe wafer on a polishing carrier with the first surface facing upward, and performing polishing on the first surface until the cutting undulations on the surface of the first surface are removed, thereby obtaining a first wafer.

[0033] Step S104: With the second surface facing upward, the first wafer is removed from the polishing carrier, and placed on a thinning carrier, the second surface is thinned, and the second surface of the cadmium zinc telluride wafer is mechanically polished to obtain a second wafer, wherein the thickness of the second wafer meets a preset thickness condition, and the flatness of the second wafer meets a preset flatness condition.

[0034] Step S106: remove the second wafer from the thinned carrier, perform an X-ray diffraction profile test, obtain an X-ray diffraction topography image corresponding to the second wafer, select an area with uniform contrast on the X-ray diffraction topography image, and mark the corresponding position of the second wafer.

[0035] Step S108: according to the marks at corresponding positions of the second wafer, the second wafer is cut into CdZnTe substrates of regular shapes.

[0036] Step S110: placing the CdZnTe substrate on a polishing carrier to perform substrate polishing treatment, coating the polished CdZnTe substrate with glue for protection, and after removing the CdZnTe substrate from the polishing carrier, cleaning the CdZnTe substrate to obtain a processed CdZnTe substrate.

[0037] In the embodiment of the present application, the step of placing the cadmium zinc telluride wafer on a polishing carrier and polishing the first surface until the cutting undulations on the surface of the first surface are removed to obtain a first wafer includes:

[0038] The cadmium zinc telluride wafer is attached to a polishing carrier using adhesive wax, and the first surface is polished using a first polishing liquid until the cutting undulations on the surface of the first surface are removed to obtain a first wafer, wherein the first polishing liquid is a diamond polishing liquid with a particle size range within a first particle size threshold range.

[0039] In the embodiment of the present application, the second surface is thinned, and the second surface of the cadmium zinc telluride wafer is mechanically polished to obtain the second wafer, including:

[0040] The second surface is thinned by using a grinding wheel thinning machine, and the second surface of the cadmium zinc telluride wafer is mechanically polished by using a first polishing liquid to obtain a second wafer, wherein the first polishing liquid is a diamond polishing liquid having a particle size range within a first particle size threshold range.

[0041] In an embodiment of the present application, placing the cadmium zinc telluride substrate on a polishing carrier for substrate polishing includes:

[0042] Placing the cadmium zinc telluride substrate on a polishing carrier, and performing mechanical polishing using a second polishing liquid to obtain a first cadmium zinc telluride substrate, wherein the second polishing liquid is a diamond polishing liquid having a particle size range within a second particle size threshold range;

[0043] The first cadmium zinc telluride substrate is chemically mechanically polished using a third polishing liquid to obtain a second cadmium zinc telluride substrate, wherein the third polishing liquid is a silica sol polishing liquid with a particle size range within a third particle size threshold range, and an oxidant and a dispersant are added, the pH value is adjusted to a target pH threshold range, and the polishing pressure is within a preset polishing pressure threshold range.

[0044] In an embodiment of the present application, after being removed from the polishing carrier, the cadmium zinc telluride substrate is cleaned to obtain a processed cadmium zinc telluride substrate, comprising:

[0045] After being removed from the polishing carrier, the first surface of the CdZnTe substrate is cleaned with petroleum ether, the second surface of the CdZnTe substrate is cleaned with petroleum ether, acetone and anhydrous ethanol in sequence, and the substrate surface is dried with dry nitrogen to obtain a processed CdZnTe substrate.

[0046] The present application embodiment proposes a processing method for a large-size CdZnTe substrate, including A-side polishing, B-side thinning, X-ray diffraction morphology testing, slicing, substrate polishing, slicing and cleaning, see Figure 2 , Figure 2 A block diagram of a large-size CdZnTe substrate surface processing method provided in an embodiment of the present application.

[0047] Compared with the conventional method of double-sided grinding - double-sided polishing - X-ray diffraction morphology test - slicing - substrate polishing - chip removal - cleaning, the embodiment of the present application abandons the steps of double-sided grinding and double-sided polishing, and uses grinding wheel thinning and single-sided polishing instead. Grinding wheel thinning is a method of using fixed abrasives to achieve material removal. Compared with grinding with free abrasives, it can avoid the problem of a sharp increase in pressure in the local area of ​​the wafer due to abrasive agglomeration, which leads to cracks or even splits in the wafer; due to the growth of cadmium zinc telluride crystals, the single wafer formed is an irregular wafer. During double-sided grinding and double-sided polishing, the wafer will collide with the edge of the cruise ship hole many times, which is very easy to cause edge collapse. When the stress is too large, it can directly cause wafer cleavage. The use of grinding wheel thinning and single-sided polishing processes can avoid the above problems when the wafer is removed from the surface. In addition, due to the increase in wafer size, the number of wafers processed in a single double-sided grinding and double-sided polishing is reduced, and the processing efficiency of the grinding wheel thinning processing method is comparable to that of the single-sided polishing method. Finally, the use of these two processes can avoid the degradation of wafer surface flatness caused by double-sided polishing.

[0048] Specifically, in the embodiment of the present application, the implementation of polishing the A surface includes: taking <111> or <211> The CdZnTe wafer that has been cut in the crystal direction is pasted on the polishing carrier with wafer sticking wax on its A surface for A surface polishing. The polishing liquid uses a diamond polishing liquid with a particle size of (0.25-5) μm. The polishing is carried out until the cutting undulations are completely removed to obtain a flat and bright surface.

[0049] The B-side thinning is achieved by removing the wafer with the A-side polished from the polishing carrier, bonding the B-side to the thinning carrier with wafer adhesive wax, and thinning the B-side of the wafer with a grinding wheel thinner to a target thickness of 40 to 80 μm higher than the target thickness of the final substrate. The flatness of the thinned carrier must be better than 5 μm.

[0050] If cracking occurs during the thinning process, the cracking phenomenon can be improved by increasing the thickness of the carrier.

[0051] After the grinding wheel thinning is completed, mechanical polishing is performed. The polishing liquid uses a diamond polishing liquid with a particle size of (0.25-5) μm. The target thickness after thinning is 30-70 μm higher than the target thickness of the final substrate, and polishing is performed until a flat and bright surface is obtained.

[0052] The implementation of the X-ray diffraction morphology test includes: removing the CdZnTe wafer that has completed B-side thinning from the thinning carrier, performing an X-ray diffraction morphology test, obtaining an X-ray diffraction morphology image of the entire wafer, selecting an area with uniform contrast and marking the corresponding position on the wafer.

[0053] The implementation of scribing includes: scribing the CdZnTe wafer into CdZnTe substrates of regular shapes according to the marks on the wafer.

[0054] The realization of substrate polishing includes: sticking the diced CdZnTe substrate on the polishing carrier with wax, first mechanical polishing, using diamond polishing liquid with a particle size of no more than 3μm, and the polishing thickness target is 10μm higher than the target thickness of the final substrate. Then chemical mechanical polishing is performed, with the thickness target of the final substrate as the polishing thickness target, the polishing liquid is prepared with silica sol polishing liquid with a particle size of 50-120nm, adding oxidant and dispersant and adjusting the pH value to 4-5, and the polishing pressure is 70g / cm 2 ~130g / cm 2 set up.

[0055] The process of taking out and cleaning the substrate includes: applying glue to protect the polished substrate, removing the substrate from the polishing carrier, cleaning the A side of the substrate with petroleum ether, cleaning the B side of the substrate with petroleum ether, acetone and anhydrous ethanol, and blowing the substrate surface dry with dry nitrogen.

[0056] Compared with the conventional method of chamfering - double-sided grinding - double-sided polishing - X-ray diffraction morphology test - slicing - substrate polishing - wafer removal and cleaning, the results of processing five 80mm×80mm substrates are compared, as shown in the following table:

[0057] Table 1 Related test results after two processing methods

[0058] Conventional methods Method of the present invention Fragmentation rate 40% 0% Processing efficiency 1 tablet / day About 1.3 tablets / day Average roughness 0.33nm~0.56nm 0.31nm~0.51nm Surface flatness 3.58μm~6.24μm 1.96μm~3.87μm Double crystal diffraction half peak width 12~18arcsec 10~17arcsec

[0059] The method of the present invention has a significantly lower fragmentation rate than conventional methods when the substrate surface quality is equivalent (that is, the average roughness of the substrate surface and the half-peak width of the double crystal diffraction are equivalent), and the processing efficiency and the flatness of the substrate surface after processing are greatly improved.

[0060] In addition, the present application also provides two embodiments.

[0061] Embodiment 1: Take <111> The cadmium zinc telluride wafer that has been cut in a crystal orientation direction can be cut into an 80mm×80mm cadmium zinc telluride substrate with a thickness of 1500μm to 1650μm, and the final processing target thickness is 900μm to 1250μm. The processing is carried out according to the above steps (1) to (6). The large-size substrate processed by this method has good surface flatness and roughness. The surface flatness of the substrate tested by an optical profilometer is 1.9μm. Three points on the substrate surface are randomly selected for roughness testing using a white light interferometer, and the results are 0.33nm, 0.38nm, and 0.38nm respectively.

[0062] Embodiment 2: Take <211> The cadmium zinc telluride wafer that has been cut in a crystal orientation direction can be cut into a 60mm×60mm cadmium zinc telluride substrate with a thickness of 1300μm to 1400μm, and the final target thickness is 800μm to 1050μm. The processing is carried out according to the above steps (1) to (6). The large-sized substrate processed by this method has good surface flatness and roughness. The surface flatness of the substrate tested by an optical profilometer is 1.8μm. The roughness test was performed on three points randomly selected on the substrate surface by an optical profilometer, and the results were 0.51nm, 0.49nm, and 0.53nm respectively.

[0063] The substrates processed in the above two embodiments can both be used as epitaxial substrates. Therefore, the embodiments of the present application can be used as a method for processing large-size wafers.
