- FIG. 1 is a perspective view of a sun gearless double-side polishing apparatus used in a silicon wafer polishing method according to a first embodiment of the present invention.
- BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS It is a principal part longitudinal cross-sectional view of the non-sun gear type double-side polish apparatus used for the silicon wafer grinding
- the silicon wafer polishing method according to the present invention rotates a silicon wafer and the polishing cloth relatively while supplying a polishing liquid obtained by adding a water-soluble polymer to an alkaline aqueous solution containing free abrasive grains to a hard polishing cloth. Then, rough polishing is performed on the surface to be polished of the silicon wafer.
- the method for polishing a silicon wafer of the present invention while maintaining a high polishing rate by an etching action by an alkaline aqueous solution, a grinding action by free abrasive grains, and an etching suppressing action of the outer peripheral portion of the silicon wafer by a water-soluble polymer. Further, roll-off of the outer peripheral portion of the wafer can be prevented. Further, in the conventional polishing method using a polishing liquid containing free abrasive grains but having no water-soluble polymer, the roll-off of the wafer outer peripheral portion is promoted as the polishing progresses.
- the outer peripheral portion of the silicon wafer can be formed into a roll-up shape. Therefore, for example, an ideal flat shape can be realized on the outer periphery of the wafer assuming roll-off of the outer periphery of the wafer during finish polishing.
- the reason why roll-off is prevented (reduced) is presumed that the following phenomenon occurs.
- the water-soluble polymer in the polishing liquid is adsorbed on the surface of the silicon wafer, and the wafer surface is covered with the water-soluble polymer.
- the loose abrasive grains in the polishing liquid are subjected to pressure from the polishing cloth (rotation of the polishing surface plate) and pressure from the silicon wafer (rotation of the silicon wafer).
- the loose abrasive particles actively flow and come into contact with the wafer, and flow out of the surface to be polished while adsorbing the polymer film formed on the surface to be polished (surface to be polished) of the silicon wafer.
- the polished surface from which the polymer film has been removed is chemically etched with an alkaline aqueous solution because the reaction is active. It is considered that polishing proceeds by repeating the adsorption of the water-soluble polymer, the removal of the polymer film, alkali etching, and grinding with free abrasive grains. On the other hand, the water-soluble polymer also adheres to the end portion (chamfered portion) of the unpolished silicon wafer. However, the probability that the polymer film adsorbed on this portion is removed by the free abrasive grains is extremely small. It is estimated that the water-soluble polymer film adsorbed on the edge of the silicon wafer suppresses the etching reaction at the outer periphery of the wafer and reduces the roll-off amount.
- an alkaline aqueous solution containing free abrasive grains is used as the polishing liquid.
- the “alkaline aqueous solution containing free abrasive grains” means that free abrasive grains such as colloidal silica (abrasive grains), diamond abrasive grains, and alumina abrasive grains are mixed in the alkaline aqueous solution that is the main component of the polishing liquid.
- free abrasive grains such as colloidal silica (abrasive grains), diamond abrasive grains, and alumina abrasive grains are mixed in the alkaline aqueous solution that is the main component of the polishing liquid.
- a natural oxide film of about 5 to 20 mm is usually present on the surface of the silicon wafer before the rough polishing step by being exposed to a previous cleaning process or a high purity air atmosphere.
- the average grain size of the free abrasive grains used is preferably 30 to 200 nm, and in particular, it is desirable to use those having an average grain diameter of 50 to 150 nm. If the average particle size is less than 30 nm, the abrasive grains are likely to aggregate and induce processing-induced defects such as micro scratches, and if it exceeds 200 nm, colloidal dispersion is difficult and concentration variation tends to occur.
- the content of the alkaline agent in the alkaline aqueous solution is 100 to 1000 ppm. If it is less than 100 ppm, the etching power of the surface of the silicon wafer by the alkali agent is not sufficient, and it takes a long time to polish the silicon wafer to a predetermined thickness. If it exceeds 1000 ppm, handling of the polishing liquid itself becomes difficult, and surface roughness is likely to occur on the wafer surface due to an excessive etching reaction.
- alkaline agent (pH adjuster) of the alkaline aqueous solution examples include an alkaline aqueous solution or an alkaline carbonate aqueous solution to which any of a basic ammonium salt, a basic potassium salt, and a basic sodium salt is added, or an alkaline to which an amine is added. It is an aqueous solution.
- aqueous solutions of hydrazine and amines can be employed. From the viewpoint of increasing the polishing rate, it is desirable to use an alkali excluding ammonia, particularly an amine.
- water-soluble polymer anionic and amphoteric and nonionic polymers and monomers can be used. Specifically, it is desirable to use hydroxyethyl cellulose or polyethylene glycol as the water-soluble polymer. In particular, since hydroxyethyl cellulose can be obtained with high purity relatively easily and it is easy to form a polymer film on the wafer surface, it has a characteristic that the effect of suppressing an etching reaction due to alkali is high. However, among various water-soluble polymers, those that promote the etching of a silicon wafer with an alkaline aqueous solution are inappropriate. Only one type of water-soluble polymer may be used, or a plurality of types may be used.
- a surfactant or an aliphatic alcohol may be used instead of the water-soluble polymer.
- the surfactant for example, polyoxyethylene alkyl ether can be employed.
- aliphatic alcohol polyvinyl alcohol etc. are employable, for example.
- the concentration of the water-soluble polymer in the polishing liquid may be set within a concentration range of 1 ppm to 200 ppm, and particularly preferably 100 ppm or less. Even when hydroxyethyl cellulose is employed as the water-soluble polymer, the amount added is preferably 100 ppm or less. If the water-soluble polymer is added excessively, the polishing rate of the silicon wafer is greatly reduced, and the productivity is lowered.
- the silicon wafer for example, a single crystal silicon wafer or a polycrystalline silicon wafer can be employed.
- a diameter of a silicon wafer 100 mm, 125 mm, 150 mm, 200 mm, 300 mm, 450 mm etc. are mentioned, for example.
- ⁇ ⁇ Use a hard polishing cloth for rough polishing. Thereby, reduction of the roll-off amount in the outer peripheral part of a silicon wafer can be aimed at.
- the polishing process is performed with the silicon wafer pressed against the polishing cloth, if a soft polishing cloth is used, the silicon wafer sinks into the polishing cloth, and the polishing cloth is based on the outer periphery of the wafer.
- the action of the reaction force to return is large, and the water-soluble polymer film adsorbed on the outer peripheral portion of the silicon wafer is positively peeled off, and roll-off is likely to occur.
- the polishing cloth is hard, since the sinking of the polishing cloth is small, the water-soluble polymer adsorbed on the polished surface of the silicon wafer while maintaining the water-soluble polymer adsorbed on the edge of the unpolished silicon wafer.
- the polymer can be efficiently removed, and a high polishing rate and a high roll-off suppressing effect can be obtained at the same time.
- the hard polishing cloth use a polishing cloth having a Shore A hardness of 70 ° to 90 ° specified by JIS K 6253-1997 / ISO 7619 and a compression rate of 0.5 to 5%, especially 2 to 4%. It is desirable.
- the Shore A hardness is less than 70 °, the polishing rate from the outer peripheral edge of the silicon wafer to 3 mm increases, and roll-off tends to occur at the outer peripheral portion of the wafer. Further, if the Shore A hardness exceeds 90 °, there is a possibility that polishing scratches are likely to occur on the wafer surface.
- the hard polishing cloth examples include a polishing cloth made of a non-woven fabric made of polyester, a polishing cloth made of polyurethane, and the like.
- an abrasive cloth made of foamable polyurethane having excellent mirror surface polishing accuracy of a silicon wafer is desirable.
- etching at the outer peripheral portion of the wafer is promoted and roll-off occurs.
- Rough polishing is performed by relatively rotating the silicon wafer and the polishing cloth. “Relatively rotate” refers to rotating the silicon wafer, rotating the polishing cloth, or rotating both the silicon wafer and the polishing cloth.
- the rotation direction of the silicon wafer and the polishing cloth is arbitrary. For example, the rotation directions of the silicon wafer and the polishing cloth when both are rotated may be the same or different. However, when the rotation direction is the same, it is necessary to vary the rotation speed.
- the polishing rate of the silicon wafer during rough polishing is desirably 0.05 to 1 ⁇ m / min. If it is less than 0.05 ⁇ m / min, the polishing rate is low and it takes a long time for polishing. On the other hand, if it exceeds 1 ⁇ m / min, surface roughness of the silicon wafer surface is likely to occur due to the increase in alkali concentration and increase in the amount of free abrasive grains added.
- the rotation speed of the silicon wafer, the rotation speed of the polishing cloth, the polishing pressure, etc. may be set so as to be within the range of the polishing rate described above. For example, the rotation speed of each of the silicon wafer and the polishing cloth is in the range of 5 to 100 rpm.
- the polishing pressure may be set within a range of 30 to 500 g / cm 2 .
- the polishing amount by rough polishing may be set in consideration of the desired thickness of the silicon wafer, and is generally set within a range of 1 ⁇ m to 20 ⁇ m. What is necessary is just to set the grinding
- a single wafer polishing apparatus or a batch polishing apparatus that simultaneously polishes a plurality of silicon wafers may be used.
- Double-side polishing in which the wafer back surface is simultaneously polished may be used.
- polishing is performed using a double-side polishing apparatus equipped with a carrier plate for storing a silicon wafer, and an upper surface plate and a lower surface plate with a polishing cloth sandwiching the carrier plate. It is desirable to do. Thereby, not only the wafer surface but also the wafer back surface can be highly flattened by a single polishing process, which is effective in providing a low-cost and highly flat mirror silicon wafer.
- both surfaces of the front and back surfaces of the silicon wafer are polished using a polishing liquid containing loose abrasive grains, it is desirable to polish the silicon wafer after rough polishing so that the thickness of the silicon wafer is larger than the thickness of the carrier plate.
- polishing of the carrier plate by an abrasive cloth is suppressed, and deterioration of a carrier plate can be prevented.
- the vibration of the silicon wafer and the carrier plate is suppressed, and the silicon wafer can be prevented from jumping out of the carrier plate.
- a sun gear (planetary gear) system or a non-sun gear system that causes the carrier plate to perform a circular motion without rotation can be employed.
- the polished surface of the silicon wafer after the rough polishing is preferably subjected to finish polishing. Thereby, microroughness and haze can be reduced.
- Final polishing refers to a process in which the wafer surface is mirror-finished at the final stage of the silicon wafer polishing process.
- the finish polishing cloth a suede type pad in which urethane resin is foamed on a non-woven fabric base cloth can be used.
- the final polishing agent one obtained by adding free abrasive grains having an average particle size of about 20 to 100 nm to an alkaline solution can be used.
- the final polishing amount of the rough polished surface of the silicon wafer is 0.1 ⁇ m or more and less than 1 ⁇ m.
- the polishing liquid of the present invention is a polishing liquid used for rough polishing at least the surface to be polished of the front and back surfaces of a silicon wafer.
- the basic liquid is an alkaline aqueous solution containing free abrasive grains.
- a water-soluble polymer is added. According to this polishing liquid, while maintaining a high polishing rate by the etching action by the alkaline aqueous solution, the grinding action by the free abrasive grains, and the etching suppressing action of the outer peripheral part of the silicon wafer by the water-soluble polymer, It becomes possible to prevent roll-off.
- the wafer outer peripheral part is rolled up by increasing the polishing amount by increasing the polishing time, for example, by the etching suppressing action of the outer peripheral part of the silicon wafer by the water-soluble polymer described above. It can also be shaped. Therefore, for example, an ideal flat shape can be realized on the outer periphery of the wafer assuming roll-off of the outer periphery of the wafer during finish polishing.
- the content of the alkali component in the alkaline aqueous solution is desirably set to 100 to 1000 ppm. If it is less than 100 ppm, the etching power of the surface of the silicon wafer by alkali is not sufficient, and it takes a long time to polish the silicon wafer to a predetermined thickness. If it exceeds 1000 ppm, it is difficult to handle the polishing liquid itself, and surface roughness is likely to occur on the wafer surface due to an excessive etching reaction.
- the alkaline aqueous solution is an alkaline aqueous solution to which any of a basic ammonium salt, a basic potassium salt, or a basic sodium salt is added as an alkaline agent, or an alkaline carbonate aqueous solution, or an alkaline aqueous solution to which an amine is added
- the water-soluble polymer is preferably composed of one or more of nonionic polymers and monomers, or one or more of anionic polymers and monomers.
- the concentration of the water-soluble polymer in the polishing liquid is preferably set in the concentration range of 1 to 200 ppm. It is extremely difficult to routinely manage the concentration of the water-soluble polymer in the polishing liquid within a concentration range of less than 1 ppm. If it exceeds 200 ppm, the polishing rate of the silicon wafer is greatly reduced, and the outer periphery of the silicon wafer is rolled. Therefore, the amount of polishing by finish polishing performed after rough polishing must be significantly increased.
- hydroxyethyl cellulose As the water-soluble polymer, it is particularly desirable to contain hydroxyethyl cellulose. Since hydroxyethyl cellulose can be obtained with high purity relatively easily and it is easy to form a polymer film on the wafer surface, it has a characteristic that the effect of suppressing the etching reaction due to alkali is high.
- a chelate agent to the polishing liquid.
- metal ions are captured and complexed, and then discarded, whereby the degree of metal contamination of the polished silicon wafer can be reduced.
- Any chelating agent can be used as long as it has a chelating ability for metal ions.
- a chelate refers to a bond (coordination) to a metal ion by a ligand having a plurality of coordination sites.
- chelating agents examples include phosphonic acid chelating agents and aminocarboxylic acid chelating agents. However, in view of solubility in an alkaline aqueous solution, an aminocarboxylic acid chelating agent is preferred. Furthermore, in view of the chelating ability of heavy metal ions, aminocarboxylates such as ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid EDTA (Ethylene Diamine Tetraacetic Acid) or diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid DTPA (Diethylene Triamine Pentaacetic Acid) are more preferable. In addition, nitrilotriacetic acid (NTA) may be used. The chelating agent is preferably added in a concentration range of 0.1 ppm to 1000 ppm. Thereby, metal ions, such as Cu, Zn, Fe, Cr, Ni, and Al, can be captured.

Added.
- the lower surface plate 130 is rotated in the horizontal plane by the lower rotation motor 17 through the output shaft 17a.
- the carrier plate 110 has a thickness of 725 ⁇ m, and moves circularly in a plane (horizontal plane) parallel to the surface of the plate 110 by the carrier circular motion mechanism 19 so that the plate 110 itself does not rotate.
- the carrier circular motion mechanism 19 has an annular carrier holder 20 that holds the carrier plate 110 from the outside.
- the carrier circular motion mechanism 19 and the carrier holder 20 are connected via a connection structure.
- Four bearing portions 20b protruding outward every 90 ° are disposed on the outer peripheral portion of the carrier holder 20.
- a tip portion of an eccentric shaft 24a protruding at an eccentric position on the upper surface of the small-diameter disc-shaped eccentric arm 24 is rotatably inserted.
- a rotating shaft 24b is suspended from the center of each of the lower surfaces of the four eccentric arms 24.

- Sprockets 26 are fixed to the tip portions protruding downward from the respective rotary shafts 24b.
- a timing chain 27 is stretched across each sprocket 26 in a horizontal state. The four sprockets 26 and the timing chain 27 rotate the four rotating shafts 24b at the same time so that the four eccentric arms 24 perform a circular motion in synchronization.
- one rotating shaft 24 b is formed to be longer, and its tip protrudes downward from the sprocket 26.
- a power transmission gear 28 is fixed to this portion.
- the gear 28 is meshed with a large-diameter driving gear 30 fixed to an output shaft extending upward of the circular motion motor 29. Therefore, when the circular motion motor 29 is activated, the rotational force is transmitted to the timing chain 27 via the sprockets 26 fixed to the gears 30 and 28 and the long rotating shaft 24b.
- the four eccentric arms 24 rotate in a horizontal plane around the rotation shaft 24b in synchronization with the other three sprockets 26.
- the carrier holder 20 collectively connected to each eccentric shaft 24a, and thus the carrier plate 110 held by the holder 20, performs a circular motion without rotation in a horizontal plane parallel to the plate 110.
- the carrier plate 110 turns while maintaining a state that is eccentric from the axis e of the upper surface plate 120 and the lower surface plate 130 by a distance L.
- a polishing cloth 15 made of polyurethane foam resin having a hardness A of 80 ° and a compression rate of 2.5% is pasted on the opposing surfaces of both surface plates 120 and 130.
- the distance L is the same as the distance between the eccentric shaft 24a and the rotating shaft 24b.

Abstract
Description
最終段階の仕上げ研磨は、シリコンウェーハの表面の粗さを改善することを目的に行われ、スエードのような軟質の研磨布および微小サイズの遊離砥粒を使用して、マイクロラフネスやヘイズといったシリコンウェーハの表面上の微小な面粗さのバラツキを低減するように研磨が行われる。この仕上げ研磨工程も粗研磨工程と同様に、研磨布の種類や遊離砥粒サイズを変更しながら、複数段階に分けて研磨処理が行われることもある。
このため、例えば、特許文献1に記載される発明では、研磨前のシリコンウェーハの厚みよりも厚みが大きいキャリアプレートを使用し、このキャリアプレート内にシリコンウェーハを収容し、研磨布を貼張した上定盤および下定盤によりキャリアプレートを挟み込んだ状態で、シリコンウェーハの表裏面を同時に研磨する両面研磨方法が提案されている。
また、キャリアプレートそのものを研磨してしまうため、キャリアプレートの交換頻度が増加し、生産コストの上昇を招いたり、キャリアプレートが研磨されることによりキャリアプレートが振動し、研磨処理中にキャリアプレートからシリコンウェーハが飛び出してしまう問題などもあった。
また、遊離砥粒を含むものの水溶性高分子が存在しない研磨液を使用した従来の研磨方法では、研磨の進行に伴いウェーハ外周部のロールオフが促進されるのに対し、この発明の場合には、上述した水溶性高分子によるシリコンウェーハの外周部のエッチング抑制作用により、例えば研磨時間を長くして研磨量を増やすことで、ウェーハ外周部をロールアップ形状とすることも可能となる。そのため、例えば仕上げ研磨時のウェーハ外周部のロールオフを想定し、ウェーハ外周部に理想的な平坦形状を実現することもできる。
研磨処理中、研磨液の水溶性高分子はシリコンウェーハの表面に吸着され、ウェーハ表面は水溶性高分子により覆われた状態となる。研磨液中の遊離砥粒は、研磨布からの圧力(研磨定盤の回転)やシリコンウェーハからの圧力(シリコンウェーハの回転)を受ける。これにより、遊離砥粒は活性的に流動してウェーハと接触し、シリコンウェーハの被研磨面(研磨される面)に形成された高分子膜を吸着しながら、被研磨面系外に流れ出る。高分子膜が除去された被研磨面は反応が活性であるため、アルカリ性水溶液によりケミカルエッチングされる。この水溶性高分子の吸着、高分子膜の除去、アルカリエッチングおよび遊離砥粒による研削の繰り返しにより研磨が進行しているものと考えられる。
一方、研磨されないシリコンウェーハの端部(面取り部)にも水溶性高分子が付着する。しかしながら、この部分に吸着された高分子膜が遊離砥粒によって除去される確率が極めて少ない。このシリコンウェーハの端部に吸着した水溶性高分子膜により、ウェーハ外周部でのエッチング反応が抑制され、ロールオフ量が低減されるものと推測される。
なお、使用する遊離砥粒の平均粒径は30~200nmが望ましく、特に、平均粒径50~150nmのものを使用することが望ましい。平均粒径が30nm未満では、砥粒が凝集してマイクロスクラッチなどの加工起因の欠陥を誘発し易く、200nm超ではコロイド分散が困難となり濃度バラツキを生じやすい。
アルカリ性水溶液のアルカリ剤(pH調整剤)としては、例えば、塩基性アンモニウム塩、塩基性カリウム塩、塩基性ナトリウム塩の何れかが添加されたアルカリ性水溶液もしくは炭酸アルカリ水溶液、あるいはアミンが添加されたアルカリ性水溶液である。その他、ヒドラジンやアミン類の水溶液を採用することができる。研磨レートを高める観点から、アンモニアを除いたアルカリ、特にアミンを用いることが望ましい。
シリコンウェーハの回転速度、研磨布の回転速度、研磨圧などは、上記した研磨レートの範囲となるように設定すればよく、例えば、シリコンウェーハおよび研磨布の各回転速度は、5~100rpmの範囲内で選択し、研磨圧は、30~500g/cm2の範囲内で設定すればよい。
なお、粗研磨による研磨量は、所望とするシリコンウェーハの厚みを考慮して設定すればよく、概ね1μm~20μmの範囲内で設定される。粗研磨後に行う仕上げ研磨による研磨量は、1μm以下の範囲内で設定すればよい。
特に、ウェーハ表裏面を同時に粗研磨するにあたっては、シリコンウェーハを収納するキャリアプレートと、このキャリアプレートを挟む研磨布を貼張した上定盤および下定盤とを備えた両面研磨装置を用いて研磨することが望ましい。これにより、一度の研磨処理でウェーハ表面だけでなく、ウェーハ裏面の高平坦化までを達成することができ、低コストで高平坦度な鏡面シリコンウェーハの提供に有効となる。
この両面研磨装置としては、サンギヤ(遊星歯車)方式のもの、または、キャリアプレートに自転をともなわない円運動をさせる無サンギヤ方式のものを採用することができる。
仕上げ研磨とは、シリコンウェーハの研磨工程の最終段階で、ウェーハ表面を鏡面化する工程をいう。
仕上げ研磨布としては、不織布からなる基布の上にウレタン樹脂を発泡させたスエードタイプのパッドなどを採用することができる。また、仕上げ研磨剤としては、アルカリ溶液中に平均粒径20~100nm程度の遊離砥粒が添加されたものを採用することができる。シリコンウェーハの粗研磨面の仕上げ研磨量は、0.1μm以上1μm未満である。
この研磨液によれば、アルカリ性水溶液によるエッチング作用と、遊離砥粒による研削作用と、水溶性高分子によるシリコンウェーハの外周部のエッチング抑制作用により、高い研磨レートを維持しながら、ウェーハ外周部のロールオフを防止することが可能となる。
また、遊離砥粒を含むものの水溶性高分子が存在しない研磨液を使用した従来の研磨方法では、研磨の進行に伴いウェーハ外周部のロールオフが促進される。これに対して、この発明の場合には、上述した水溶性高分子によるシリコンウェーハの外周部のエッチング抑制作用により、例えば研磨時間を長くして研磨量を増やすことで、ウェーハ外周部をロールアップ形状とすることも可能になる。そのため、例えば仕上げ研磨時のウェーハ外周部のロールオフを想定し、ウェーハ外周部に理想的な平坦形状を実現することもできる。
アルカリ性水溶液は、アルカリ剤として塩基性アンモニウム塩、塩基性カリウム塩、塩基性ナトリウム塩のうち、何れかが添加されたアルカリ性水溶液、または炭酸アルカリ水溶液、またはアミンが添加されたアルカリ性水溶液とするとともに、水溶性高分子は、ノニオン系のポリマーおよびモノマーのうちの1種もしくは複数種、または、アニオン系のポリマーおよびモノマーのうちの1種もしくは複数種で構成することが望ましい。これにより、シリコンウェーハの表面にスクラッチ、傷などの加工起因の欠陥が発生せず、研磨液の取り扱いも容易で、シリコンウェーハの高い研磨(エッチング)レートが得られる。
表面および裏面が鏡面研磨された両面研磨シリコンウェーハは、以下の各工程を経て作製される。
すなわち、坩堝内でボロンが所定量ドープされたシリコンの溶融液から、チョクラルスキー法により直径306mm、直胴部の長さが2500mm、比抵抗が0.01Ω・cm、初期酸素濃度1.0×1018atoms/cm3の単結晶シリコンインゴットが引き上げられる。
その後、回転中の面取り用砥石をシリコンウェーハの外周部に押し付けて面取りし、次に両面ラッピング装置によりシリコンウェーハの両面を同時にラッピングする。次いで、エッチング槽内の酸性エッチング液に、ラッピング後のシリコンウェーハを浸漬してエッチングし、面取りおよびラッピングによるダメージを除去する。その後、シリコンウェーハの表裏面に対して、上述した1次研磨および仕上げ研磨が順次施される。
図1および図2に示すように、両面研磨装置10の上定盤120は、上方に延びた回転軸12aを介して、上側回転モータ16により水平面内で回転駆動される。また、上定盤120は軸線方向へ進退させる昇降装置18により垂直方向に昇降させられる。昇降装置18は、シリコンウェーハ11をキャリアプレート110に給排する際等に使用される。なお、上定盤120および下定盤130のシリコンウェーハ11の表裏面に対する研磨圧は300g/cm2で、上定盤120および下定盤130に組み込まれた図示しないエアバック方式等の加圧手段により加えられる。下定盤130は、その出力軸17aを介して、下側回転モータ17により水平面内で回転する。キャリアプレート110は、厚さが725μmで、かつそのプレート110自体が自転しないように、キャリア円運動機構19によって、そのプレート110の表面と平行な面(水平面)内で円運動する。
キャリアホルダ20の外周部には、90°ごとに外方へ突出した4個の軸受部20bが配設されている。各軸受部20bには、小径円板形状の偏心アーム24の上面の偏心位置に突設された偏心軸24aの先部が回転自在に挿入されている。また、これらの4個の偏心アーム24の各下面の中心部には、回転軸24bが垂設されている。各回転軸24bは、環状の装置基体25に90°ごとに合計4個配設された軸受部25aに、それぞれ先端部を下方へ突出させた状態で回転自在に挿入されている。各回転軸24bの下方に突出した先端部には、それぞれスプロケット26が固着されている。各スプロケット26には、一連にタイミングチェーン27が水平状態で架け渡されている。これらの4個のスプロケット26とタイミングチェーン27とは、4個の偏心アーム24が同期して円運動を行うように、4本の回転軸24bを同時に回転させる。
したがって、円運動用モータ29を起動すれば、その回転力は、ギヤ30,28および長尺な回転軸24bに固着されたスプロケット26を順次経てタイミングチェーン27に伝達される。このタイミングチェーン27が周転することで、他の3個のスプロケット26を介して、4個の偏心アーム24が同期して回転軸24bを中心に水平面内で回転する。これにより、各偏心軸24aに一括して連結されたキャリアホルダ20、ひいてはこのホルダ20に保持されたキャリアプレート110が、このプレート110に平行な水平面内で、自転をともなわない円運動を行う。
前記距離Lは、偏心軸24aと回転軸24bとの距離と同じである。この自転を伴わない円運動により、キャリアプレート110上の全ての点は、同じ大きさ(半径r)の小円の軌跡を描く。これにより、キャリアプレート110に形成されたウェーハ収納部11aに収納されたシリコンウェーハ11が、両研磨定盤120,130の回転方向を反対とし、研磨定盤120,130の回転速度、研磨圧(300g/cm2)、研磨時間などを調整して、研磨量が片面5μm(両面10μm)となるように、両面同時1次研磨を行う。
しかも、表裏面の自然酸化膜の除去後、さらにシリコンウェーハ11と研磨布15とを相対的に回転させ、シリコンウェーハ11の表裏面を片面約5μmだけ研磨する。このとき、シリコンウェーハ11の表裏面には、研磨圧の作用により研磨布15が押し付けられる。これにより、シリコンウェーハ11の表面に付着する研磨液中のヒドロキシエチルセルロース膜は、研磨布15により、シリコンウェーハ11の被研磨面から持ち去られる。その結果、シリコンウェーハ11の外周部にはヒドロキシエチルセルロースが付着した状態で研磨が進行する。そのため、シリコンウェーハ11の表裏面は遊離砥粒による研削作用と、アルカリ性水溶液のエッチング作用と、研磨布15によるヒドロキシエチルセルロースの除去作用とにより、高平坦度を維持しながら0.5μm/分という高い研磨レートで研磨される。
これに対して、例えば1次研磨用の研磨布としてスェード製の軟質の研磨布を使用した場合には、上下配置された研磨布がシリコンウェーハ11の外周面に接触するため、シリコンウェーハ11の外周部のロールオフが助長されることになる。
アルカリ性水溶液として、ピペリジンの濃度を800ppmに調整したものを採用したので、シリコンウェーハ11の表面にスクラッチ、傷などの加工起因の欠陥が発生せず、研磨液の取り扱いも容易で、シリコンウェーハ11の高い研磨レートが得られる。
また、両研磨布15の素材として発泡ポリウレタン樹脂を採用したので、シリコンウェーハ11の外周部でのロールオフ量の低減を図ることができる。
なお、シリコンウェーハ11の外周部の形状測定には、KLA-Tencor社製WaferSightを採用した。また、シリコンウェーハ11の最外周の形状を評価するため、ウェーハ外周部のダレ量と跳ね上げ量を定量的に表したROA(Roll Off Amount)を用いた。
