Description

本発明は、反応性の高い表面構造を付与した石英ガラス基板と原子状水素(水素ラジカル)との高反応性を利用した洗浄不要の気相化学エッチング法に関し、LSI分野の極端紫外線(EUV)を用いたリソグラフィ反射マスク基板などに対する要望に応えることができるようにした高平坦度(サブナノメータレベル)石英ガラス基板を得ることができる石英ガラス基板の表面処理方法及びその処理方法に好適に用いられる水素ラジカルエッチング装置に関する。   The present invention relates to a cleaning-free gas phase chemical etching method utilizing high reactivity between a quartz glass substrate provided with a highly reactive surface structure and atomic hydrogen (hydrogen radical), and extreme ultraviolet (EUV) in the LSI field. A method for treating a surface of a quartz glass substrate capable of obtaining a quartz glass substrate having a high flatness (sub-nanometer level) adapted to meet a demand for a lithographic reflection mask substrate or the like using a glass substrate and a method for treating the quartz glass substrate. The present invention relates to a hydrogen radical etching apparatus.

極端紫外線(EUV)リソグラフィは、極めて波長の短い超紫外線を用いて、シリコンウエハに微細な回路イメージを焼き付けるリソグラフィ技術であり、電子ビームリソグラフィと並んで、次世代コンピュータチップ開発のための有望な技術とされている。現在チップ製造に用いられているのはDUV(遠紫外線)リソグラフィと呼ばれる技術だが、EUVではその20分の1程度の波長の光線を用い、それに伴って回路も微細にすることができ、乗せられる回路の数が増えることでプロセッサの性能も向上する。このEUVリソグラフィ技術の発展に伴い、EUVリソグラフィ反射マスク基板として好適に使用される高平坦度(サブナノメータレベル)石英ガラス基板が待望されているのが現状である。   Extreme ultraviolet (EUV) lithography is a lithography technology that uses ultra-ultraviolet light with a very short wavelength to burn a fine circuit image onto a silicon wafer. Along with electron beam lithography, it is a promising technology for developing next-generation computer chips. It is said that. A technology called DUV (far-ultraviolet) lithography is currently used for chip manufacturing, but EUV uses a light beam having a wavelength of about one-twentieth of that, and the circuit can be made finer accordingly. As the number of circuits increases, the performance of the processor also improves. With the development of this EUV lithography technology, a high flatness (sub-nanometer level) quartz glass substrate that is suitably used as an EUV lithography reflection mask substrate is currently being awaited.

FIG. 2 is an explanatory view schematically showing a reaction in a processing container in the surface treatment method for a quartz glass substrate of the present invention.

図1において、10は水素ラジカルエッチング装置で、処理容器本体12を有している。該処理容器本体12内にはホルダー部材14が設置されている。該ホルダー部材14内にはヒーター部材16が設置されている。18は該ホルダー部材14の上面に設けられたトレー部材で、表面処理される石英ガラス基板20を載置する作用を行う。22は発熱体で、所定の高温、好ましくは1000〜2100℃、に設定され、処理容器本体12内に導入される水素ガスを高効率に接触分解して水素ラジカルとする作用を果たす。該発熱体22は、例えば、タングステン(W)等の触媒体ワイア材料で形成されている。該発熱体22は該処理容器本体10内の上部に上下動自在に設けられた支持部材24に取り付けられ、該支持部材24とともに上下動可能とされている。25a及び25bは該発熱体22と該トレー部材18との間に配置された輻射シールド部材であり、25aは複数の穴27aを有し、25bは複数の穴25bを有する。前記発熱体22の輻射により石英ガラス基板20の温度が必要以上に加熱される場合があるが、該輻射シールド部材25a,25bを設けることにより、これを防ぐことができ、石英ガラス基板20の温度をホルダー部材14のヒーター部材16により独立に制御可能となる。一方、水素ラジカルは寿命が長く、該輻射シールド部材25a,25bを配置しても拡散による回り込みにより処理対象の石英ガラス基板表面へ十分に到達することができる。該輻射シールド部材は、図1に示した如く、複数の穴27a,27bを有した2枚以上の板25a,25bからなり、各板の間に間隙を設け、隣り合う板の穴27a,27bの位置が重ならないように配置することが好ましい。該輻射シールド部材25a,25bの形状及び材質は特に限定されないが、高融点金属からなることが好ましい。また、穴27a,27bの形状も特に限定されないが、該輻射シールド部材25a,25bがシャワープレート構造と同様の作用を示すように構成するのが好適である。なお、図1においては2枚の板を設けた例を示したが、3枚以上の板を設けてもよい。26は該処理容器本体10内に水素ガスを導入する導入孔であり、28は該処理容器本体10内の廃ガスを排気する排気孔である。30は前室で、石英ガラス基板20を処理容器本体12内に搬入及び搬出する際に用いられる。前記トレー部材18の材質としては、従来から熱処理装置において常用される窒化珪素等を用いることができるが、黒色石英が特に好適である。該黒色石英は、ホルダーからの輻射吸収の効率が良く、基板加熱のためのエネルギーを低減することができる。   In FIG. 1, reference numeral 10 denotes a hydrogen radical etching apparatus having a processing container main body 12. A holder member 14 is installed in the processing container main body 12. A heater member 16 is installed in the holder member 14. Reference numeral 18 denotes a tray member provided on the upper surface of the holder member 14 and performs an operation of placing the quartz glass substrate 20 to be surface-treated. Reference numeral 22 denotes a heating element, which is set to a predetermined high temperature, preferably 1000 to 2100 ° C., and serves to generate hydrogen radicals by catalytically decomposing hydrogen gas introduced into the processing vessel body 12 with high efficiency. The heating element 22 is made of, for example, a catalyst wire material such as tungsten (W). The heating element 22 is attached to a support member 24 provided in the upper part of the processing container main body 10 so as to be movable up and down, and can be moved up and down together with the support member 24. Reference numerals 25a and 25b denote radiation shield members disposed between the heating element 22 and the tray member 18. 25a has a plurality of holes 27a, and 25b has a plurality of holes 25b. Although the temperature of the quartz glass substrate 20 may be heated more than necessary due to the radiation of the heating element 22, this can be prevented by providing the radiation shield members 25 a and 25 b, and the temperature of the quartz glass substrate 20. Can be independently controlled by the heater member 16 of the holder member 14. On the other hand, hydrogen radicals have a long life, and even if the radiation shield members 25a and 25b are arranged, they can sufficiently reach the surface of the quartz glass substrate to be processed by the wraparound due to diffusion. As shown in FIG. 1, the radiation shield member is composed of two or more plates 25a and 25b having a plurality of holes 27a and 27b. A gap is provided between the plates, and the positions of the holes 27a and 27b in the adjacent plates. It is preferable to arrange them so that they do not overlap. The shape and material of the radiation shield members 25a and 25b are not particularly limited, but are preferably made of a refractory metal. Further, the shape of the holes 27a and 27b is not particularly limited, but it is preferable that the radiation shield members 25a and 25b are configured to exhibit the same action as the shower plate structure. Although FIG. 1 shows an example in which two plates are provided, three or more plates may be provided. Reference numeral 26 denotes an introduction hole for introducing hydrogen gas into the processing container main body 10, and reference numeral 28 denotes an exhaust hole for exhausting the waste gas in the processing container main body 10. A front chamber 30 is used when the quartz glass substrate 20 is carried into and out of the processing container main body 12.

本発明において、表面処理される石英ガラス基板20としては、二酸化珪素のみからなるガラス基板、及び二酸化珪素を主成分とするガラス基板が用いられ、室温(20℃±5℃)における線膨張係数が0.0×10-7/℃以上6.0×10-7/℃以下である超低膨張ガラス基板が好適である。前記超低膨張ガラス基板としては、例えば、チタニアを含有する石英ガラス基板が好ましく、該チタニア濃度が2質量%以上15質量%以下であることがより好ましい。また、前記チタニアを含有する石英ガラス基板の組成はチタニアと二酸化珪素からなることが好ましい。 In the present invention, as the quartz glass substrate 20 to be surface-treated, a glass substrate composed solely of silicon dioxide and a glass substrate mainly composed of silicon dioxide are used, and the linear expansion coefficient at room temperature (20 ° C. ± 5 ° C.) is used. An ultra-low expansion glass substrate that is 0.0 × 10 −7 / ° C. or higher and 6.0 × 10 −7 / ° C. or lower is preferable.

The composition of the quartz glass substrate containing titania is preferably composed of titania and silicon dioxide.

上記水素ラジカルエッチング装置10を用いた石英ガラス基板20に対する水素ラジカルエッチング処理について図2によって模式的に説明する。まず、処理容器本体12内に水素ガス(H2)を導入し、高温に熱せられた発熱体22によってその水素ガスを接触分解して水素ラジカルを発生させる(図2(a))。次いで、発生した水素ラジカルによって、トレー部材18上に載置された凹凸を有する石英ガラス基板20の表面を水素ラジカルエッチング処理し(図2(b))、サブナノメータレベルの平坦度を有する石英ガラス基板20aを作成する(図2(c))。 A hydrogen radical etching process for the quartz glass substrate 20 using the hydrogen radical etching apparatus 10 will be schematically described with reference to FIG. First, hydrogen gas (H 2 ) is introduced into the processing vessel main body 12, and the hydrogen gas is catalytically decomposed by a heating element 22 heated to a high temperature to generate hydrogen radicals (FIG. 2A). Next, the surface of the quartz glass substrate 20 having irregularities placed on the tray member 18 is subjected to hydrogen radical etching treatment by the generated hydrogen radicals (FIG. 2B), and quartz glass having a sub-nanometer level flatness. A substrate 20a is formed (FIG. 2C).

次に、平坦化処理された石英ガラス基板の表面評価手法について説明する。
処理表面におけるμm領域の表面状態の変化をAFM(Atomic Force Microscope:原子間力顕微鏡)やSTM(Scanning Tunneling Microscope:走査型トンネル顕微鏡)などの観察により、評価することができる。はじめに、AFMを用いてμm領域の表面粗さをRa,Rq,Rz(Rmax)を用いて評価した。粗さ曲線の算術平均高さであるRaは、基準長さl内の任意の位置xにおける粗さ曲線の高さZ(x)の絶対値の平均であり、以下の式(1)で表される。
Next, a method for evaluating the surface of the flattened quartz glass substrate will be described.
Changes in the surface state of the μm region on the treated surface can be evaluated by observation with an AFM (Atomic Force Microscope) or STM (Scanning Tunneling Microscope). First, the surface roughness of the μm region was evaluated using R a , R q , and R z (R max ) using AFM. Ra , which is the arithmetic average height of the roughness curve, is an average of absolute values of the height Z (x) of the roughness curve at an arbitrary position x within the reference length l. expressed.

・・・(1) ... (1)

qは粗さの2乗平均平方根高さであり、以下の式(2)で表される。 R q is the root mean square height of the roughness, and is represented by the following formula (2).

・・・(2) ... (2)

z(Rmax)は粗さ曲線の山の高さの最大値と谷の深さの最大値の和である。これらは、その表面粗さを数値で把握できる点で優れているが、高さの情報しか含まないため、微細な表面の状態変化の情報が含まれていない可能性がある。これに対して、得られた表面の凹凸を空間周波数領域へ変換することにより、空間周波数での振幅強度で表すパワースペクトル解析は、微細な表面形状を数値化することができる。Z(x,y)をx座標、y座標における高さのデータとすると、そのフーリエ変換は以下の式(3)で与えられる。 R z (R max ) is the sum of the maximum value of the peak of the roughness curve and the maximum value of the depth of the valley. These are excellent in that the surface roughness can be grasped numerically, but since only the height information is included, there is a possibility that the information on the minute surface state change is not included. On the other hand, by converting the obtained surface irregularities into the spatial frequency domain, the power spectrum analysis represented by the amplitude intensity at the spatial frequency can digitize the fine surface shape. If Z (x, y) is the height data in the x-coordinate and y-coordinate, the Fourier transform is given by the following equation (3).

・・・(3) ... (3)

ここで、Nx,Nyはx方向とy方向のデータの数である。u=0,1,2,....Nx−1,v=0,1,2,....Ny−1であり、このとき空間周波数fは、以下の式(4)で与えられる。 Here, N x and N y are the numbers of data in the x and y directions. u = 0, 1, 2,. . . . N x −1, v = 0, 1, 2,. . . . N y −1. At this time, the spatial frequency f is given by the following equation (4).

・・・(4) ... (4)

このときのパワースペクトル密度(Power Spectrum Density,PSD)は、以下の式(5)で与えられる。   The power spectrum density (PSD) at this time is given by the following equation (5).

・・・(5) ... (5)

このパワースペクトル解析は、表面状態の変化を単純な高さの変化としてだけでなく、その空間周波数での変化として把握することができる点で優れており、原子レベルでの微視的な反応などが表面に与える影響を解析する手法として期待される。ここでは、表面処理前後のPSDの差スペクトルにより、各空間周波数における変化を評価した。   This power spectrum analysis is excellent in that it can grasp the change of the surface state not only as a simple change in height but also as a change in its spatial frequency, such as microscopic reaction at the atomic level, etc. It is expected as a method for analyzing the effect of the surface on the surface. Here, the change in each spatial frequency was evaluated by the difference spectrum of PSD before and after the surface treatment.

実施例1では、図1に示した水素ラジカルエッチング装置を用いて、H2ガスの流量20sccmで装置内の圧力を10Paとなるように排気し、発熱体の温度を1800℃にして、水素ラジカルを生成させた。輻射シールド部材としては、φ2mmの穴を20mmピッチの升目に開けたMo製の2枚の板を用い、各板の穴位置が重ならないように5mmの隙間を隔てて2枚の板を配置した。この装置内に、黒色石英ホルダーにのせた石英ガラス基板(SiO2ガラス基板)を温度1000℃にし、1時間、3時間、5時間、7時間、10時間、15時間の間、処理を行なった。
(Example 1)
In Example 1, the hydrogen radical etching apparatus shown in FIG. 1 was used, the H 2 gas flow rate was 20 sccm, the pressure inside the apparatus was exhausted to 10 Pa, the temperature of the heating element was set to 1800 ° C., and the hydrogen radical Was generated. As the radiation shield member, two plates made of Mo with φ2 mm holes formed in 20 mm pitch grids were used, and the two plates were arranged with a 5 mm gap so that the hole positions of each plate did not overlap. . In this apparatus, a quartz glass substrate (SiO 2 glass substrate) placed on a black quartz holder was set at a temperature of 1000 ° C., and the treatment was performed for 1, 3, 5, 7, 10, and 15 hours. .

この処理前後の石英ガラス基板の表面をAFMを用いて観察し、表面粗さRa、Rq及びRzの値とともに、PSDの差スペクトルにより、表面処理による変化を解析した。 The surface of the quartz glass substrate before and after this treatment was observed using AFM, and the change due to the surface treatment was analyzed by the difference spectrum of PSD together with the values of the surface roughness Ra , Rq and Rz .

図3に処理後の1×1μmの領域のAFM像を示した。各試料や測定場所によって、その表面の状態に差はあるものの7時間から、AFM像に変化が生じていることがわかる。それより長い時間の処理では変化が明瞭になり、20nm程度の凹凸が認められる。各処理時間におけるRaとRqの値を図4に示した。 FIG. 3 shows an AFM image of the 1 × 1 μm region after processing. It can be seen that the AFM image has changed from 7 hours although there are differences in the surface state depending on each sample and measurement location. When the treatment is performed for a longer time, the change becomes clear and irregularities of about 20 nm are observed. The values of Ra and Rq at each treatment time are shown in FIG.

図3及び4からわかるように5時間の処理では、その値がほとんど変化しないが、それ以降徐々に値が大きくなることがわかる。図の左端のデータは未処理の試料の表面を評価した値である。1時間処理におけるRaやRqの平均値は未処理の試料よりも低い値を示していることから、短時間処理により、RaやRqの値で表される表面粗さが減少していることを示している。 As can be seen from FIGS. 3 and 4, in the process for 5 hours, the value hardly changes, but thereafter the value gradually increases. The data at the left end of the figure is a value obtained by evaluating the surface of an untreated sample. Since the average values of Ra and Rq after 1 hour treatment are lower than those of the untreated sample, the surface roughness expressed by the Ra and Rq values is reduced by short-time treatment. It shows that.

図5に1×1μmの領域のAFM像から求めたPSDの差スペクトルの処理時間による変化を示した。図5からわかるように、1時間処理では、広い周波数域で負になっている。処理時間が7時間となると、20〜70μm-1に幅広いピークが認められる。1000℃、10Paの水素ラジカル処理では、1時間程度の短時間の処理によって、その表面の凹凸が減少する傾向があることがわかった。 FIG. 5 shows the change of the PSD difference spectrum obtained from the AFM image of the 1 × 1 μm region depending on the processing time. As can be seen from FIG. 5, in the one-hour processing, it is negative in a wide frequency range. When the treatment time is 7 hours, a broad peak is observed at 20 to 70 μm −1 . In the hydrogen radical treatment at 1000 ° C. and 10 Pa, it was found that the unevenness of the surface tends to decrease by the treatment for a short time of about 1 hour.

また、7時間以上の長時間の処理によって、15〜50nm程度のマイクロラフネスが生じることが示され、これは、図3の(e)や(f)で認められる凹凸の大きさと一致している。   Further, it is shown that a microroughness of about 15 to 50 nm is generated by a long-time treatment of 7 hours or more, which is consistent with the size of the irregularities recognized in (e) and (f) of FIG. .

処理前後の基板表面のRzについては、1μm×1μmの面積に対し処理前1.3nmであったRzが基板温度1000℃、処理時間1時間により0.9nmとなり、本発明によりサブナノメータレベルの表面平坦度を有した石英ガラス基板を実現できた。 The R z of before and after treatment of the substrate surface, 1μm × 1μm R z is a substrate temperature of 1000 ° C. was pretreated 1.3nm to area, 0.9 nm next by the processing time of 1 hour, the sub-nanometer level by the present invention A quartz glass substrate having a surface flatness of 5 mm was realized.

(実施例2)
実施例2では、図1に示した水素ラジカルエッチング装置を用いて、H2ガスの流量20sccmで装置内の圧力を10Paとなるように排気し発熱体の温度を1800℃にして、水素ラジカルを生成させた。この装置内に、黒石英ホルダーにのせた石英ガラス基板(SiO2ガラス基板)の温度を600℃から1000℃まで変化させて15時間の間、処理を行なった。
(Example 2)
In Example 2, the hydrogen radical etching apparatus shown in FIG. 1 was used, the H 2 gas flow rate was 20 sccm, the pressure inside the apparatus was exhausted to 10 Pa, the temperature of the heating element was set to 1800 ° C., and hydrogen radicals were removed. Generated. In this apparatus, the temperature of the quartz glass substrate (SiO 2 glass substrate) placed on the black quartz holder was changed from 600 ° C. to 1000 ° C., and the treatment was performed for 15 hours.

この処理前後の石英ガラス基板の表面のAFM観察を行い、表面粗さRaとRqの値とともに、PSDの差スペクトルにより、表面処理による変化を解析した。 Perform AFM observation of the process before and after the quartz glass substrate surface, with the surface roughness value R a and R q, the difference spectrum of the PSD, and analyze changes by surface treatment.

図6に各基板温度での処理後の1×1μmの領域のAFM像を示した。各試料や測定場所によって、その表面の状態に差はあるものの基板温度800℃までの処理による表面の明瞭な変化は認められなかった。また、基板温度1000℃の処理によって表面に大きな変化が生じていることがわかった。   FIG. 6 shows an AFM image of a 1 × 1 μm region after processing at each substrate temperature. Although there was a difference in the state of the surface depending on each sample and measurement place, a clear change of the surface due to the treatment up to the substrate temperature of 800 ° C. was not recognized. Moreover, it turned out that the big change has arisen on the surface by the process of substrate temperature 1000 degreeC.

各基板温度での処理におけるRaとRqの値を図7に示した。図7の左端のデータは未処理の試料の表面を評価した値である。図7からわかるように基板温度600℃では、未処理の表面粗さよりも低い粗さの値を示し、800℃でほぼ未処理と同じ値になり、900℃、1000℃と温度が上昇するにしたがって、急速にその値が増加することがわかる。 The values of Ra and Rq in the treatment at each substrate temperature are shown in FIG. The data at the left end of FIG. 7 is a value obtained by evaluating the surface of an untreated sample. As can be seen from FIG. 7, when the substrate temperature is 600 ° C., the roughness value is lower than the untreated surface roughness. At 800 ° C., the roughness value is almost the same as the untreated surface, and the temperature rises to 900 ° C. and 1000 ° C. Therefore, it can be seen that the value increases rapidly.

図8に1×1μmの領域のAFM像から求めたPSDの差スペクトルの基板温度による変化を示した。図8からわかるように、基板温度が600℃の処理では、10〜70μm-1の幅広い周波数域で負になっている。基板温度が800℃の処理では、60〜70μm-1に、900℃の処理では、50μm-1に、1000℃の処理では、30〜40μm-1に、ピークが認められる。基板温度を比較的低い温度で水素ラジカル処理をすることにより、その表面の凹凸が減少する傾向があることがわかった。 FIG. 8 shows the change of the PSD difference spectrum obtained from the AFM image of the 1 × 1 μm region depending on the substrate temperature. As can be seen from FIG. 8, in the processing at the substrate temperature of 600 ° C., it is negative in a wide frequency range of 10 to 70 μm −1 . In the processing of the substrate temperature is 800 ° C. is a 60~70Myuemu -1, in the processing of 900 ° C. is a 50 [mu] m -1, in the processing in 1000 ° C., to 30 to 40 .mu.m -1, a peak is observed. It was found that the surface irregularities tend to be reduced by performing hydrogen radical treatment at a relatively low substrate temperature.
