Description of the invention [Technical field to which the invention belongs] The present invention relates to a donor crystal including a buffer layer after transferring a thin semiconductor layer from a donor wafer to a receiving substrate. Round recycling. [Prior art] The term "buffer layer" generally refers to a transition layer between, for example, a first crystal structure and a second crystal structure of a substrate, the second crystal structure having properties that modify the material (such as structure or stoichiometric properties, or Atomic surface recombination properties). 10 15 Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs. 20 In the special case of the buffer layer, the latter makes it possible to obtain a second crystal structure, and its lattice parameters are substantially different from those of the substrate. For this purpose, the buffer layer may have a composition that gradually changes with thickness, and then the gradual change in the composition of the buffer layer is directly related to its gradually changing lattice parameter. It can also have more complex patterns (such as a change in a composition with a variable rate, a reversal of the sign of the rate, or a discontinuous jump in the composition). This pattern may utilize a fixed composition layer containing defects and carry out. Next, 'metamorphic (buffer) layers or metamorphic embodiments are mentioned, such as metamorphic epitaxy. In order to create a special structure, one layer or a superimposed layer generated on the buffer layer may be removed from the donor wafer so as to be transferred to the receiving substrate. One of the main applications for transferring the thin layer formed on the buffer layer is the formation of a strained stone layer. This paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) V. Description of the invention 5 10 15 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economy 20 If the interface of the first layer has the nominal lattice parameters It is composed of materials that are larger than or smaller than clothes. ^ By—a kind of pull m shrinks, should be = 'if the "relaxed" material is close to f-the nominal lattice of the layer II, Γ can be said by' "Relax" material, where the rod is called the Rigrig number system is the material, lattice parameters. Crystals in a monolithic form under a thousand-equivalent shape When the -layer system is composed of pins with tensile strain, certain characteristics such as the electron mobility of the material can be significantly improved. Other materials, such as SiGe, can also be substantially removed. Then, especially by a process called Smart_cut @, which is well known to those skilled in the art, transferring such a layer onto a receiving substrate makes it possible to produce a structure such as an SOI (semiconductor on an insulating layer) structure. For example, after removing a relaxed SiGe layer, the resulting structure can then be used as a support for silicon growth. Because the nominal lattice parameter (depending on the germanium content) of SiGe is greater than the nominal lattice parameter of Shi Xi, the growth of SG0I (with & Xi germanium) on the pseudo substrate is obtained. Makes it possible to provide a layer of silicon with tensile strain. For example, one example of this process is described in the IBM literature by LJ Huang et al. ("SiGe (SiGe-On_Insulator) is used on the insulating layer prepared by wafer bonding and layer transfer for high-performance field effect transistors." prepared by wafer bonding and layer transfer for high- -4- This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210x297 public love) 200411821 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention performance field-effect transistors), Applied Physics Letters, (February 26, 2001, Volume 78, No. 9), in which the method of manufacturing Si / SGOI structures appeared. Another example of this process is published in the document US 2002/007481 5. Other applications of metamorphic growth It is possible, especially for III-V semiconductors. Therefore, transistors are usually manufactured by using GaAs-based or InP-based technologies. 10 In terms of electronic properties, InP has the essence over GaAs Advantages, especially, the combination of InP layer and InGaAs or InAlAs layer allows us to improve electronic mobility. However, facing GaAs technology, the ability to sell components using InP technology is limited Especially in terms of cost, availability, mechanical weakness, and the size of the main substrate (compared to the 6-inch diameter of GaAs, the maximum diameter of InP is generally 4 inches). It seems that a solution to this problem has been found in the InP layer removed from the reference receiving substrate by metamorphic epitaxy of the buffer layer on the GaAs substrate. 20 Then, some removal processes, such as "etch back" The type of process, during the removal process, will cause the remaining parts of the substrate and the buffer layer to be destroyed. In some other removal processes, such as the Smart-cut © process, the substrate can be recycled, but the buffer layer will be lost. However, the deterioration production technology is Complicated.

Description of the invention (in the 6th process, the recycling includes at least partial restoration of the buffer structure. It cannot be reused in subsequent removals. Therefore, the recycling process must include appropriate processing that does not damage at least a portion of the buffer structure. 5 Indeed, buffer structures often include, for example, crystallographic default ), When it is supplied with energy, it can grow and increase the size in an important way. This energy can be provided by heat treatment, chemical process or mechanical process. For example, if at 350 ° C, 450 ° C or 55CTC When the 10 SiGe buffer structure is heated at a temperature, the structure state will change relative to the selected temperature (see, for example, the work of Re et al. Literature "Structural characterisation and stability of Sil-xGex / Si (100) heterostructures grown by molecular beam 15 epitaxy" (July 2001, Journal of Crystal Growth, Volumes 227-228, pp. 749-755). As the temperature increases, the cushioning structure will tend to relax by using sliding surfaces, stacking defects, or other structural relaxation patterns. They are used to reduce their internal stresses. This will cause some difficulties in the interface with the useful layer to be formed in the future. It is then important to maintain these internal stresses in the buffer structure. Recycling is achieved in a way that is suitable for recycling. It can avoid and limit the extension of these crystal stresses inside the buffer structure. These stresses will damage its characteristics and thus the characteristics of the useful layers formed on it.

In this document, "the buffer layer," has been changed as described above. It is widely defined. The advantage is that the buffer layer is included in the buffer structure and has at least one of the following two functions: 1. Reduce the defect density in the upper layer; 2. Make one of the two crystal structures The lattice parameters match different lattice parameters. The first function of the buffer layer is that the buffer layer is an interlayer between 10 between two structures, and the buffer layer has, on one of its surfaces, a first layer having substantially the same lattice parameters as the first structure. A lattice parameter, and has a second lattice parameter around its other surface that is substantially the same as the lattice parameter of the second configuration. In the remainder of this document, the buffer layer or construction described 15 will generally follow this latter buffer layer. However, the invention also relates to any cushioning layer or any cushioning structure defined in the most general way in this document. Printed by the Consumers' Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs again, an example of a method according to the present invention will be described below, which includes recovering a donor wafer of a useful layer by removal. The donor wafer 20 is initially composed of a support substrate and Composed of buffer structures.

The support substrate 1 of the donor wafer 10 includes at least one semiconductor layer having a first crystal 5 lattice parameter, which is located at the interface between the support substrate 1 and the buffer structure I. In a special group, the 'support substrate 1 is composed of The first lattice parameter is composed of a single semiconductor. In the first configuration of the buffer structure I, the buffer structure J is composed of the buffer layer 10. In this case, the buffer layer 2 on the support substrate 1 makes A second lattice parameter that is substantially different from the first lattice parameter of the substrate 1 may appear on its surface, so that there may be two layers 1 and 4 on the same donor wafer 1, which have different crystals.

The additional layer 4 may be between the substrate 1 and the buffer layer 2, or on the buffer layer 2, as shown in FIG. In the first special case, such an additional layer 4 may constitute a second buffer layer, for example, a buffer layer which makes it possible to limit defects and thereby improve the crystal quality of one layer generated on the buffer structure 1. This additional layer 4 is composed of a semiconductor preferably having a fixed material composition. Then, "the choice of the composition and thickness of the buffer layer 4 to be produced" is an especially important criterion for achieving such characteristics. So, for example, the structural defects in the epitaxial growth layer usually decrease gradually within the thickness of this layer. In the second special case, the additional layer 4 is located on the buffer layer 2 and acts as a layer above the buffer layer 2. It can therefore fix the second lattice parameter.

Depending on the removal mode used by / Monthview, the upper cover layer may contain one or more thin layers. Furthermore, it is preferably a lattice parameter having substantially the same lattice parameter as that of the relaxed material of the free surface 5 of the cushion structure I, such as a layer of the same material, or a crystal structure that will have its tensile or compressive strain All or some of the other materials, or a combination of these two types of materials. In a particular embodiment of the donor wafer 10, one or more interlayers are further interposed between the buffer structure J and the upper cover layer. In this case, 'this or these layers will not be removed. (3) The useful layers to be removed are part of an additional layer * and an upper cover layer (formed in the same manner as described on the κ shell and in the second removal mode). Regardless of the selected removal mode, and referring to FIG. 2, after the removal 15 and in most cases, the “protruding portion” and / or the rough seam portion 7 b will appear on the removal surface of the remaining donor wafer 10. This removal surface, obviously, belongs to the layer 7 after removal above the buffer layer 2. The Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs prints the removal pattern 20 selected from the two removal patterns previously discussed. The layer 7 after this removal is all or some of the layer 4, which may be one or more. Interlayer 'and may be part of the overlying overlay. The part obviously appearing on the surface of layer 7 after removal is the same as 7b, depending on the removal mode and the technology operated during the removal. -14-200411821 V. Description of the invention (η). • Therefore, for example, the removal mode 5 10 15 20 currently used in the "Seal" industry is not to remove the useful layer on the entire surface of the donor wafer 10, and only to remove a part of the donor wafer 10 (usually essentially Upper central portion: the useful layer above, leaving behind, for example, those protruding portions on the surface of the donor wafer 10 indicated by the reference symbol π 2. This: the protrusions; the points are usually complete and located on the surface of the donor wafer 10 Around, then, all the protrusions are commercially known as " excision rings ". So 'for example, known extraction techniques, such as those we will study further and later here Techniques in the literature (for example, Z Smart-cut ◎ technology has been mentioned) sometimes lead to, for example, removing the surface roughness indicated by the reference symbol 7b on the surface. Once the removal is performed, the recovery according to the present invention is operated for restoration Donor wafer 10. The first step of recycling according to the present invention is to remove at least the uneven portions 7a and 7b (shown in Fig. 2). The removal of such a substance according to the present invention is performed in this way So that after removal, at least a portion of the buffer structure I will remain, which can be reused during subsequent removal of the new useful layer. After the material is removed, the remaining portion of the buffer structure I is therefore recovered 'instead Like the known recycling of conventional technology. In a special case of recycling brother, and regarding the second mode (2) of the removal, it is more advantageous to choose the thickness of the upper cover layer, so that after the removal, the Residual part (for the removed layer is removed by -15- This paper size applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 regulations (210 X 297 public love) 200411821 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (14 substance standard machinery (Such as polishing or CMP) without removing the substance from the safe buffer structure I so as to retain the entire buffer structure I. Even if the current development can smoothly reach a thickness of about 1 # m, borrowing during the recovery period The thickness of the material removed by standard mechanical means (such as polishing) is generally about 2 // m. 10 15 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 20 The second special situation in recycling In this case, and regarding the second mode (2) of the removal, it is more advantageous to select the thickness of the upper cover layer and the additional layer 4, so that after the removal, the remaining portion of the upper cover layer (for the layer 7 after removal) and At least a part of the additional layer 4 is removed by standard mechanical means (such as polishing means or CMP) for removing the substance, without removing the substance from the safe buffer layer 2, so that the entire buffer layer 2 is retained. The removal includes the operation using mechanical means to invade the name (such as light removal or grinding). The polishing technique generally used is to place the donor plate 10 on a polishing head and a polishing plate that can rotate about a driving shaft. The respective major surfaces of the polishing head and the polishing plate are substantially parallel. The force applied to the polishing head presses the donor wafer 10 against the upper surface of the polishing plate. The rotational movement of the donor wafer 10 with respect to the polishing plate causes friction on one surface of the donor wafer 10, thereby polishing the surface. In a preferred mode, the polishing head accompanied by the donor wafer 10 is moved along a defined path over the upper surface of the polishing plate so as to uniformize the polishing as much as possible. This kind of movement can be, for example, a specific 16-size paper that applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210x297 mm) 200411821 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (15) The translation of the axis back and forth or a spiral movement . The polishing plate is preferably covered with a textured material or fabric. Preferably, a calendering solution may be injected which may lubricate the frictional action of the polishing plate on the applied wafer. 5. Generally, the surface cleaning of the wafer using the injected deionized water can be performed after the light is removed. Post-polishing, typically using an injected solution containing a suitable surfactant, may operate between polishing and cleaning. The main function of the surfactant is to disperse as much as possible the remaining particles on the surface of the 10-piece cut in the rinsing solution, thereby reducing their deposition on the surface and allowing them to be removed. It is preferable to inject more of one of these solutions to wet the fabric of the calender plate so as to distribute the solution over the entire surface of the donor crystal circle 10 as much as possible. 15 In the first embodiment of the pepper-light board, the functions of removing, rinsing, and cleaning these boards are performed by a single board. However, in order to improve the productivity of the entire method, a device with several plates would be preferred. Printed in the second embodiment of these boards by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, the polishing function is achieved by polishing a 20 plate, and the rinse and cleaning functions are performed by a single plate called a rinse / clean plate And achieve. This embodiment separates polishing from rinsing / cleaning by improving the quality of the rinsing by using a plate for rinsing which has absolutely no possibility of any particle residue remaining on the plate. In the third embodiment of these plates, the polishing plate, the washing plate and the cleaning -17-This paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm) 200411821 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (w plate system This is a separate plate. Compared with the second embodiment, this embodiment separates cleaning and rinsing, and improves the surface of the slice by using a plate for cleaning that has no particle residue that may adhere to the rinsing plate at all. Final cleanliness. In addition to polishing, it may be necessary to add abrasive particles such as silica particles in order to improve the abrasion of the substance. In addition to polishing, it may be necessary to add chemicals to chemically etch along with mechanical invasion of money through the operation of polishing plates. In an advantageous mode of operation for removing material from the donor wafer 10, chemical mechanical planarization, also known as CMP, is performed on the principle that the polishing surface of the polishing plate is mixed with a polishing fluid containing abrasive particles and a chemical etchant. In addition to mechanical polishing, the polishing fluid is then used in combination with chemical etching of the surface of the donor wafer 10 to be polished (by using Etchant) and mechanical erosion (using abrasive particles). Here again, the washing and / or cleaning of the polished surface of the donor wafer 10 may be followed by the removal of the substance. Σ should be aware that washing may be in some cases It is effective not only for the faster removal of residues and abrasive particles printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Polishing Economy, but also for the chemical action of polishing 20. This is because if the chemical etchant used during polishing has For alkaline pH, the chemical action of the polishing solution can be stopped quickly by adding a general acidic surfactant to the polishing solution. For some semiconductors such as silicon, chemical action is better than mechanical action. Paper size applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210x297 public love) 200411821. A7 V. Description of invention (when polishing small surface of this semiconductor, use abrasive particles). Especially for the mentioned in the previous paragraph In terms of materials, this rinsing with an acidic surfactant may therefore significantly stop the polishing effect and control its effect on the section. The thickness after polishing is therefore guaranteed and is 5 and renewable. Therefore, it is possible to control the stop of polishing and thus more accurately control the thickness of removal. 10 Furthermore, a gradual injection of the rinse solution will be better: too fast The injection results in a rapid decrease in the pH of the polishing solution and, in the case of some semiconductors such as silicon, may have increased the size of the abrasive particles due to agglomeration, thus exposing them to the agglomeration of these larger particles. Consequences of grinding damage. An example of the application of the flattening layer provided here is when at least a part of the layer to be planarized contains stone. 15 The solution suitable for polishing silicon is generally between 7 and 10%. PH of alkaline solution, preferably between 8 and 10, then the chemical agent preferably has a nitrogen-containing nitrogen-based test base (nitrogen_c〇ntaining base) ° Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs The 20 abrasive particles printed by the Employee Consumer Cooperative are preferably silica molecules having a size of about one tenth of a micron.

Mechanical or chemical-mechanical means, within the scope of the present invention, are particularly advantageous for controlling the amount of removed material, as they can allow at least part of the buffer structure 1 to be retained. 5 In general, however, removing material from a donor wafer can include all mechanical means of manipulating the invading substance, such as grinding or bombardment with atomic material. A heat treatment may take place before the removal of this substance, and the heat treatment may further smooth the surface to be removed and / or remove the convex part 7a or the rough part 7b. For example, a heat treatment may be performed as disclosed in the document US 6,596,61, where the convex portion and the rough portion 7b are removed by heat treatment. This technology is more advantageous in the case of removing the upper cover layer that has occurred on the buffer structure. It can make this heat treatment 15 mainly work on this upper cover layer, rather than on the buffer structure worker, to protect the buffer. Construction I is free from increasing internal defects. Therefore, one of the following substance removal modes is used: printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs (a) removal of a portion of layer 7 containing at least bumpy partialization and 7b removal; or 20 (b) removal The whole removed layer 7; or (0 removes a part of the entire removed layer 7 and the buffer layer 2. If the removed layer 7 includes a part of the original upper cover layer, the substance removal mode (a) is preferably Including the complete removal of this upper cover.

For example, a will slightly change the concentration of certain compounds in the material. Reducing the buffer structure I involves reforming the removed portion of the buffer layer 2 when a portion of the original buffer layer 2 is cut off during the first recovery step. The reduction buffer structure I involves reforming all or part of the additional layer 4 when all or part of the original additional layer 4 is cut off during the first recovery step. In this case, it is possible to produce an additional layer 4 having a thickness substantially the same as or substantially different from the original. Once the buffer structure I is restored, the upper cover layer may be formed on the upper cover layer which will at least partially contain the new 15 useful layers to be removed, and may be included between the buffer structure I and the upper cover layer.

The layers that may be formed during this second recovery step are preferably produced by layer growth (such as by CVD or MBE epitaxial growth) on their respective underlying layers. In the first case, at least one of these layers I and 5 is grown in situ and directly continues to form the growth support of the lower layer. In this case, the growth support of the lower layer is also preferably formed by layer growth.

Therefore, in addition to the modifications expected and realized by those skilled in the art, a donor wafer i 0 that is substantially the same as the original is obtained, that is, the donor wafer 10 shown in FIG. 1. The donor wafer 10 obtained in this way contains at least a portion of the original buffer structure J, and thus at least a portion of the original buffer layer 2.

In the first case, at least one of these layers is in place and directly continues to form the growth support of the lower layer to grow. In this case, the lower layer is formed into 5 long supports and is preferably formed by layer growth. In the second case, at least one of these layers is grown after a minor step of trimming the surface of the underlying growth support (such as by CmP polishing, heat treatment, or other leveling techniques), so that the errors contained in the cushion structure I Placement and other defects will not increase, will not increase the size and will not create any sliding surface, stacking defects or other defects that will reduce the quality of the buffer structure. A method for removing the thin layer is shown in Figures 4b and 4c. The first preferred removal step of the present invention is to establish a fragile zone in the donor wafer so that the fragile zone can perform subsequent separation to separate the desired useful layer from 15. Here are some technologies that can be operated to establish this kind of fragile zone. The first technology printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs is the first technology known as Smart_ cut® technology (also its description It may be found in some literature that covers technology 20 using wafers) 'which lies in its first step' implanting atomic matter (such as hydrogen ions) with a specific energy in order to establish a fragile zone in this way. The second technique consists in forming a fragile interface by creating at least one porous layer, as described in document EP-A-0 849 788, for example. -24- This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210x297 public love) 200411821

The epitaxial growth technique that normally breaks the operation to produce such a buffer structure I is also particularly difficult and expensive, so it is advantageous for it to be able to recover at least partially after removing the useful layer. 5 Advantageously, the buffer structure I includes a buffer layer 2 'composed of InGaAs, wherein the In concentration is changed between 0 and about 53%. The buffer structure I may further include an additional layer 4 composed of a III · v material such as InGaAs or InAlAs, and the III-V material has a substantially constant concentration of atomic elements. 10 In a special removal situation, part of the cover layer 5 and the additional layer 4 above the InP will be removed in order to transfer it to the receiving substrate. So 'will likely benefit from any electrical or electronic properties that exist between the two removed materials. The situation is, for example, if part 15 of the additional layer 4 that is removed is composed of InGaAs or InAlAs: the discontinuity of the electronic frequency band between the InAlAs material and InP will establish an improvement in the removed layer Electronic mobility. The donor wafer 10 printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs may contain other configurations of other III-V compounds (such as InAlAs, etc.). 20 The general application of this layer removal is the production of HEMT or HBT (respectively "high electron mobility transistor" and "heterojunction bipolar transistor"). In the semiconductor layer proposed in this document, it may be added Other ingredients are added to these semiconductor layers, for example, the layer in question has a carbon concentration of substantially less than or equal to 50% or especially has a carbon concentration of less than or equal to 5% -3 3-This paper size applies to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210 X 297 mm) 200411821 A7 B7 5 10 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 5.
