Abstract

A silicon wafer having a controlled oxygen precipitation behavior such that a denuded zone extending inward from the front surface and oxygen precipitates in the wafer bulk sufficient for intrinsic gettering purposes are ultimately formed. Specifically, prior to formation of the oxygen precipitates, the wafer bulk comprises dopant stabilized oxygen precipitate nucleation centers. The dopant is selected from a group consisting of nitrogen and carbon and the concentration of the dopant is sufficient to allow the oxygen precipitate nucleation centers to withstand thermal processing such as an epitaxial deposition process while maintaining the ability to dissolve any grown-in nucleation centers.

The general description of the invention relates to the preparation of semiconductor material substrates, especially, far-reaching The silicon wafer of electronic components is the same. In summary, the present invention relates to the ideal non-uniform depth distribution of oxygen precipitates formed by the rounding process during the heat treatment of virtually any electronic device process. Single crystal germanium, which is the starting material for the majority of semiconductor electronic components, is usually prepared by the so-called "czochralski" method, in which a single seed crystal is formed by a slow extraction method. The smelting is contained in 坩埚, /= 'that is mixed with various impurities' is mainly mixed with oxygen. Oxygen enters the crystal lattice in the molten crystal until it reaches the solubility of oxygen at the temperature of the refining body in the crystal to obtain the solidified stone. The concentration determined by the actual segregation coefficient of oxygen in the evening is greater than the solubility of oxygen in the solid stone at the standard temperature of the electron cleavage process. When the autolysis solution is formed and cooled, 'the oxygen The solubility is rapidly reduced: 攸 and the oxygen in the synthetic sheet or wafer is supersaturated. ^The heat treatment cycle in the electronic coating can cause oxygen supersaturation in the stone wafer.

Shimura, Press, Semiconductor Crystal Technology, pp. 361-367 and references listed therein. However, recent processes for advanced electronic devices such as dynamic random access memory have begun to minimize the steps of the picking process. While several processes retain sufficient high temperature process steps to produce a sufficient density of exposed areas and bulk precipitates, the material tolerance is too tight to provide commercial products. Other current highly advanced electronic device processes do not contain an external diffusion step. Due to the problems associated with oxygenate in the active device region, such electronic device manufacturers must use a silicon wafer that does not form oxygen precipitates anywhere in the wafer under the process conditions. The result is the potential loss of all intrinsic absorption of impurities. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION It is therefore an object of the present invention to provide a single crystal germanium wafer having a desired uneven depth distribution of heat treatment cycles of any substantially electronic device process; a sufficient density of oxygen precipitates in the exposed area and the wafer; providing such a wafer in which the formation of the exposed regions and the formation of oxygen precipitates in the wafer are different from the oxygen concentration in the wafer region. Providing such a wafer, the thickness of the synthetic bare region in the crucible is substantially independent of the details of the integrated circuit process; providing such a wafer in which the exposed portion of the crystal body and the formation of oxygen precipitates are not subject to Cekla The process of generating a single crystal second ingot is 盥 oxygen 82769-950127.doc (3) The t-ring of 1276161, the crystal factor is cut from the ... bond; the formation of the bare zone in =2 does not diffuse according to oxygen. , ;: t method 'its " is fully doped with nitrogen and / or carbon, in order to release the nucleation center of the cesium precipitate, so that it can withstand the subsequent ^ hinder the formation of the exposed area. Heat treatment, but in a nutshell, the present invention is directed to wafers having two main wafers, one of which is the first surface of the two-dimensional surface of the dome, the surface of the surface, and the surface of the wafer. The periphery, the surface layer includes the front surface and the self = two; at least about ten micrometers measured before and after the combination: just: two: face i including the central plane and maSB__ Λ and - the main layer of the package center is greater than the decoration ' That is, the nucleation of oxygen precipitates in the main layer is greater than the nucleation center of the precipitates in the nucleation of oxygen precipitates in the surface layer has a concentration cutoff at the peak density of the milk center in the central plane 1 , "milk precipitates" The nucleation position follows the front of the wafer #, at 5 /, near, and the concentration decreases from the peak density - 1 偈 day « month 丨 J surface direction. 曰 carbon or its mixture 诅 之 仏 仏 ® ® ® ® 有It is selected from nitrogen, · about every cubic centimeter = nitrogen is used, the concentration of nitrogen is between i 1016 and about 5x1014 atoms per cubic centimeter, and the concentration of carbon is about 10,000 A 〇 16 to about 4 χ 1 〇 Between 17 atoms. The present invention is also a method of slanting & circle. This method controls the oxygen evolution The single crystal stone of the action is cut and contains 2 sounds selected from the Czochralski method. The single crystal stone is formed by the Β 、, the surface and the back surface and a central plane between the front and back surfaces. The wafer includes a r-day ten-face surface layer covering the front I 乂 g, a body layer and a dopant; before, between the two, and the solid-state region from the front surface to the central plane; The main layer covers the area between the central plane and the front surface layer, and the concentration is about a combination per cubic centimeter; when the dopant is a nitrogen impurity, In the case of carbon, J1 is rich in about knives - X to about 5 x 1014 atoms, and if the bristles, $ > , , and , , scoops are from the parent cube centimeter 1x10 丨 6 to about 4 x 101, ♦: About one thousand one Celsius = the formation of lattice vacancies in the main layer. The heated wafer is rapidly cooled: the wafer has a hollow concentration cross section, and the 7 P shape contains 6 vacancy vacancy density in the bulk layer Μ ^ ^ , in the surface direction of day 0, the surface direction is approximately decreasing, and the front surface layer and the main layer are hollow, and the precipitates are imitation/difference" to make the front surface Does not form an oxide nucleation centers ah, Che watchman said oxygen precipitate nucleation centers recognize formed in the body layer. When the heated wafer is cooled, the nucleation center of the precipitate φ ^ ^ ^ % 夺 is formed in the main layer, and the concentration of the nucleation center of the main layer φ * 士 疋 乳 is mainly based on The concentration of the vacancy depends. Other objects and features of the present invention will be apparent from the following. Means, according to the U.S., it has been found that an ideal deposited wafer, during the process of any electronic device in the actual soil, forms a substantially deep exposed region and a wafer body containing a sufficient density of oxygen precipitates for the internal absorption of impurities. The advantage of this ideal deposited wafer is that it can be formulated in a momentary manner. This method creates a ruthenium template that determines or "prints" the way oxygen is deposited during electronic device processing. The original material of the ideal deposition wafer of the present invention is a single crystal silicon wafer cut in a single crystal ingot generated by the conventional Czochralski crystal generation method. These methods and the standard Shi Xi's slice 'grinding Techniques such as surname engraving and polishing were published in 1989-C Press, F. Shi_, "Shenzhen Crystal Technology" and 1982 New York SPdnger_Verlag "Shi Xi Chemical Surname" (j. 82769- 950127.doc (5) (5) 1276161 ed·), for reference. The Czochralski method generally produces a concentration of oxygen in the range of about 5 x 1 〇 17 to about 9 x 017 atoms per cubic centimeter (ASTM standard! ^_121_83). Since the oxygen evolution substantially exhibits a decoupling of the oxygen concentration from the ideal deposited wafer, the original wafer may have an oxygen concentration within or outside the range obtained by the Czochralski method. According to the cooling rate of the single crystal germanium ingot from the melting point of the crucible (about 1410 degrees Celsius) in the range of about 750 degrees Celsius to about 350 degrees Celsius, the nucleation center y of the oxygen precipitate is formed on the single crystal cut by the wafer. In the ingots. Whether or not such nucleation centers are present in the original material is not critical to the present invention, but such centers can be decomposed by heat treatment at temperatures in the range of about -10 mils. Some 埶 treatments, such as Shi Xi, which is annealed for about four hours in about eight degrees Celsius, can stabilize these centers so that they cannot be decomposed at less than about 1,150 degrees Celsius. The detection limit of oxygen precipitates is currently about 5.6 precipitates per cubic centimeter. Oxygenation: The presence of ~ in the nucleation of the material (or the density cannot be directly measured by the prior art. However, it can be indirectly detected by various techniques. As mentioned above, Shi Xizhong first: in the nucleation center of the oxygen precipitate can be The ruthenium is stabilized by the oxygenation heat treatment, and precipitates can be formed at such positions. Therefore, the nucleation centers can be indirectly measured after the oxygen evolution heat treatment, for example, the crystal κ is annealed in Celsius Baidu for four hours and then in Celsius. Annealing for a period of sixteen thousand degrees. Now refer to the original material of the ideal deposited wafer of the present invention. The single crystal 3, the back surface 5 and the imaginary central plane 7 between the front and back surfaces. The terms “before” and “after” are used to distinguish the two main substantially flat surfaces of a wafer. The term “front surface of the wafer” does not necessarily refer to the surface on which the sub-coat is placed. The term "post surface of the wafer" is not used to refer to 82769-950127.doc (6) (6)! 276161 The main surface of the wafer opposite to the surface on which the electron is placed is located: the wafer usually has some total thickness variation as prominent, so Bu surface due to plane:; every 2 faces The midpoint between the points may not be the same - the exact word, in the middle: the total thickness of the 'back bend' is usually very small, similar to the surface between the imaginary central plane, the plane is about before and after oxygen :: In a first specific example of the method, the wafer 1 is subjected to heat treatment in step S1 to form a surface oxide layer 9 surrounding the wafer 1. The thickness of the oxide layer is greater than that of the native oxide layer formed on the wafer. (About 15 to 3, the oxide layer is at least about 20 angstroms thick, and in some specific examples, it is 2 thick, 15 angstroms or even about 30 angstroms. The experimental evidence obtained is currently no more than about The 30 angstrom oxide layer does not interfere with the required effect, and does not provide the attached σ benefit. 7 In step S2, the wafer is subjected to heat treatment, in which the wafer is heated to a high temperature to 曰曰=曰曰曰曰1 The lattice vacancy 13 increases the vacancy density. This heat treatment step is performed in a rapid thermal anneal to heat the wafer to the target temperature and anneal for a shorter time on the sinter. Generally, the wafer Withstand the temperature to J more than one hundred and fifty degrees Celsius, it is better to Less than 1,175 degrees, better than at least 1,200 Baidu, and better one of the two thousand two to one hundred and two hundred and seventy-five degrees. In this specific example, the rapid heat The annealing step is carried out in a nitriding environment, that is, a compound containing nitrogen gas N2 or nitrogen-containing ammonia to nitride the surface of the exposed stone. Therefore, the environment may contain only nitrogen or a nitrogen gas, or another atom such as argon. Non-nitriding gas.

The wafer thus produced has a cross-sectional curve with a fairly uniform vacancy concentration (digital density). According to the experimental evidence obtained so far, the environment in the rapid thermal annealing step preferably contains less pressure of partial oxygen, water vapor and other oxidizing gases, that is, the environment is free of oxidizing gas or the pressure of such gases, that is, insufficient for injection suppression. The vacancy concentration is assembled by the stone occlusion self-filling vacancy atom. Although the lower limit of the concentration of the oxidizing gas has not been determined deterministically, it has been shown that the partial pressure of oxygen at atmospheric pressure (ppm) or 10,000 parts per million (ppma) does not increase the vacancy concentration and has no effect. Therefore, the pressure of the oxygen or other oxidizing gas contained in the soil is preferably less than (〇〇1) atmospheric pressure (10,000 PPma), preferably not more than about 〇·〇〇5 atmosphere (5, 〇〇〇ppma), and 0.002 or about 0·〇〇ι atmospheric pressure (2, 〇〇〇 or ^ face ppma) is even better. In addition to the formation of lattice vacancies, the rapid thermal annealing process also leads to the decomposition of the unstable nucleation center of the oxygen precipitate in the bismuth material. Such nucleation centers may be formed during the formation of the monocrystalline swarf of the diced wafer, or in other instances where the wafer or bismuth ingot was previously subjected to thermal experience. Therefore, as long as these centers can be decomposed during the rapid thermal annealing step, it does not matter whether they are present in the original material. The rapid thermal annealing can be carried out in any commercial rapid thermal annealing furnace in which the wafers are individually heated by the same power lamp row. The rapid thermal annealing furnace can rapidly heat the tantalum wafer, for example, heating the wafer from room temperature to 1,200 degrees Celsius in a matter of seconds. One of these commercial rapid thermal annealing furnaces is a 61-inch furnace, which is produced by AG Ass, a coffee shop called Mountain View, Canada. Intrinsic point defects (vacancies and 矽 self-filling vacancies) can diffuse through single crystal germanium, and the diffusion rate depends on the temperature. Therefore, the internal point defect is the internal defect diffusion rate of 82769-950127.doc -12- (8) 1276161, and the recombination rate is a function of temperature. For example, the intrinsic point moves around the annealing temperature in the wafer rapid thermal annealing step, while it does not move at any commercial useful time on seven hundred degrees Celsius. At present, the experimental evidence obtained is not below the temperature of seven hundred degrees Celsius, the effective spread of vacancies is greatly slowed down, and even if the temperature is as high as 800 degrees Celsius, nine Baidu or - thousand degrees, it is considered that it will not be in any commercial time. mobile. The completion step is such that the wafer is rapidly cooled in the temperature range in which the crystal lattice is located in the opposite phase of the single crystal in the step S3. As the wafer temperature drops across this temperature range, the vacancies diffuse into the oxide layer 9 and tend to smear, resulting in a change in the vacancy concentration profile, depending on the length of time the wafer is at that temperature. If the wafer is in this range for an indefinite time at this temperature, the concentration of the hollow body of the crystal body will again be approximately uniform, and the concentration is substantially smaller than the equilibrium value of the lattice vacancy concentration just after the heat treatment step is completed. However, due to the rapid cooling of the crystal circle, uneven distribution of lattice vacancies can be achieved. The highest vacancy concentration is near the central plane 7, and the space concentration is reduced in the direction of the front surface 3 and the rear surface 5. In general, the average cooling rate in this temperature range is at least about five degrees Celsius per second, and each A minimum of about twenty degrees is appropriate. Depending on the depth of the exposed area, the average cooling rate should be at least about 50 degrees Celsius per second, preferably at least about one hundred degrees per second. For some current applications, about one bai to two hundred degrees per second is optimal. Once the wafer is cooled to a temperature outside the relative range of movement of the crystal lattice in the single crystal germanium, the cooling rate does not affect the deposition characteristics of the wafer and is not extremely important. It is convenient to say that the cooling step can be carried out in the same environment as the heating step. In step S4, the wafer is subjected to an oxygen evolution heat treatment. For example, the wafer can be annealed for four hours at eight degrees Celsius and then annealed at 180 degrees Celsius for sixteen 82769-950127.doc -13- (9) 1276161 hours. In addition, it is also advisable to put the wafer in the first step of the “Baishengzhao process.” In the heart of the eight Baidu furnace, as the electronic attack ^ Tian placed in the furnace of this temperature, Yi and Gu also fire crystal The circle will have different oxygen precipitation, and the hot knife will be used to retreat. In the vacant area main body), after the wafer is placed in the furnace, the oxygen is quickly assembled. End and reach the distribution of the knot, depending on the load start wave. In the low vacancy area (the wafer surface is attached to the first day as the normal lack of oxygen first day, the effect of the back is not significant.

The wafer is divided into various vacancies to create a template, which can be as shown in Figure 1. The gas in the wafer: is placed in the furnace to set the oxygen pattern. Exposed area) (15,15,), from: anaerobic precipitation extended to deep calving, and the back surface 5 τ Wang Bing (t, t) is characterized. The region 17 between the two is contained in the range of |15);:, the precipitate of the milk (15, Ba (1)... the oxygen precipitate is substantially uniform. The concentration of the oxygen precipitate is mainly In order to increase the rate of cold fraction. In short, the oxygen precipitates are rising and the annealing time is increasing, and the density of the precipitates in the middle of the temperature is determined as the standard. The main anaerobic precipitation The depth (t, t') of the material (naked area) (15, 15,) is mainly θ. Therefore, the surface of the material is mainly a function of the relative enthalpy rate of the lattice vacancies in the sputum. One life, the movement, the degree of dryness in the inner circumference of the dish, the degree of pearl (t, f) with the cold and the depth of the bare area obtained is at least about 10, 2. The saltiness of the sheep is low and the increment is micron. Miao, 5〇, 7〇 or 100(4) Obviously, the depth of the exposed area is generally one hundred feet, and it is also worthy of the external diffusion of the traditional practical oxygen from the drapery/electronic dressing helmet. ',,, 82769 -950127.doc -14- (10) (10) 12761161 The method of heat treatment in the small 11 method will lead to the self-wafer: a small amount of oxygen on the surface: external expansion 'But the amount of out-diffusion is much less than that of the conventional bare-area formation method. Thus, the ideal deposited wafer of the present invention has a fairly uniform fill-vacancy oxygen concentration' as a function of the self-tanned surface distance. For example, in oxygen evolution The circle of ',,, and has a fairly uniform concentration of fill-space oxygen in the wafer area from the center of the wafer to the surface of the crucible of about fifteen micrometers. π is about ten from the center of the wafer to the wafer area. Preferably, the micron is preferably about five microns from the center of the stone to the surface of the wafer, and preferably from the center of the crucible to the areas of the wafer and the three materials. The fairly uniform oxygen concentration in this paper is not more than about five percent +, preferably no more than twenty percent, and more preferably no more than ten percent. The emulsion precipitation heat treatment usually does not cause a large amount of oxygen to be filled from the heat-treated wafer to the fill hole in the bare zone from the wafer surface by a distance of a micron distance. The concentration of the milk does not change significantly due to the deposition process. For example, if bare: including a wafer area between the surface of the stone and the distance measured from the front surface to the central plane of π 乂 is about ten micrometers, the bare surface is at half the distance of "D". The oxygen concentration in the area is 75% of the oxygen filling in any part of the bare area. In the case of some oxygen evolution heat treatment, the oxygen concentration in the fill space of this position will be higher to at least 85% of the high oxygen concentration of the naked & anywhere, 10% or even 95%. . - in a second embodiment of the present invention, a non-nitriding environment is used instead of the nitrogen used in the heating, thermal annealing and cooling steps of the first, the example, which is not a non-family虱, chaos, 氖, carbides and their non-emulsified non-nitriding elements and chemical gases, or the mixing of such gases 82769-950127.doc • 15-00 1276161 No matter... non-nitriding environment also like nitrogen The environment may contain a small part of oxygen pressure, that is, = knife > Ε force is less than 0.01 atmosphere (1 〇, boring), and less than (four) still atmospheric pressure (5, 〇〇〇 ppma) is appropriate, less than 〇〇〇2 or 〇〇〇1 atm (2, 〇〇〇/ι, _ ppma) is more preferable. In the third embodiment of the present invention, the step (8) (thermal oxidation step) is omitted, so the starting wafer Only has an inherent gasification layer. However, when the wafer is annealed in a gas atmosphere, the effect is different from that of a wafer having a thicker oxide layer (increased oxide layer) than the intrinsic oxide layer. When the wafer containing the enlarged oxide layer is annealed in a nitrogen atmosphere, the vacancy concentration of the substantially uniform sentence is increased almost when the annealing temperature is reached. In addition, the vacancy concentration does not increase significantly as a function of the annealing at the annealing temperature. However, the wafer lacks more than the inherent oxide layer, and if the front surface of the wafer is nitrided, the wafer obtained by '1' has a vacancy concentration (number density) curve 曰...: cross section 'is also' The maximum concentration is a few micrometers w U 前后 on the front and rear surfaces and the smaller brightness is in the whole wafer, the minimum concentration is in the wafer body, and the initial is about equal to and is obtained in the wafer of the aging layer and the emulsifier layer. concentration.

Thus, in accordance with the present invention, the atmosphere preferably contains a partial pressure of at least about 0.0001 atmospheres (1 〇〇 ppma) during the rapid thermal annealing step, and more preferably at least about 〇 2 atmospheres (200 ppma). However, for the above reasons, the partial pressure of oxygen should not exceed 〇·〇1 atm (1〇, 〇〇〇ppma), and preferably less than 〇〇〇5 atm (5,000 ppma), and 0·002 or 〇〇〇 1 atmosphere (2, 〇〇〇ppma / l, 000 pprna) is better. In other embodiments of the invention, the front and back surfaces of the wafer may be exposed to different environments, each containing one or more nitriding or non-nitriding gases. For example, the surface behind the wafer can be exposed to a nitriding environment while the front surface is exposed to a non-nitriding environment. In addition, a plurality of (2, 3 or more wafers) may be stacked face to face while being annealed; when annealed in this manner, the faces of the face-to-face contacts are mechanically protected from the environment during the annealing. In addition, depending on the oxygen concentration profile of the wafer and the wafer used during the rapid thermal annealing, the oxide layer may be formed only on one side of the exposed area of the wafer, such as the front surface of the wafer (3) (see Figure 丨). The starting material used in the method of the present invention may be a polished tantalum wafer or a micro-etched wafer without polishing. In addition, wafers can have vacancies or self-filling vacancy defects as the main inherent point defects. For example, the wafer may be vacant from the center to the edge of the vacancy or self-filling vacancy, or it may contain a vacancy as the central core of the main material surrounding the axially symmetric ring of the material based on the self-filling vacancy. The present invention can be applied to the wafer which is ideally deposited on the nucleation center of the oxygen precipitate in the outer circle before the epitaxial epitaxial deposition and in the outer circle. If it is carried out before it, the crystal is stabilized by thermal annealing before the deposition. However, the thermal annealing method takes a long time (in about 82,769-950,127.doc •17-(13)!276161, the eight-dollar demand is reduced: the output and the second?

It is implemented after epitaxial epitaxy, but it still requires additional processing of the cows and increases manufacturing costs. And another ~ processing step Another:: Oxygen precipitate nucleation center can be doped with the nitrogen doping of the crystal = Shlmufa et al. Applied Physics 48 (3) page (10) 6).

In the case of non-memory crystals, the second level of critical supersaturation occurs when the crystal is about seven hundred degrees Celsius. In the nitrogen/carbon doped stellite crystal, the blank formation during the polyfluorene period is slightly suppressed due to the slowing of the vacancy diffusivity. This results in a higher concentration of vacancies remaining in the crystal after the first coagulation. The free vacancy rolling increased by the carbon-to-carbon shovel also increases the temperature at which the second level of crystal supersaturation occurs, for example, from about eight degrees Celsius to about one thousand and fifty degrees. At this elevated temperature, the oxygen atoms in the crystal are more active.
