Definitions
- the present invention relates to a cleaning liquid for a semiconductor device substrate.
- the present invention also relates to a method for cleaning a semiconductor device substrate, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device substrate, and a semiconductor device substrate.
- a semiconductor device substrate is a chemical mechanical polishing (chemical) that uses a polishing slurry made of a water-based slurry containing abrasive fine particles after forming a metal film or interlayer insulating film deposition layer on a silicon wafer substrate.
- CMP Mechanical Polishing
- the surface is flattened by a process, and a new layer is stacked on the flattened surface.
- high-precision flatness in each layer is required, and the importance of planarization by CMP is increasing.
- Cu wiring made of a copper (Cu) film having a low resistance value has been introduced in order to increase the speed and integration of devices.
- Cu is suitable for microfabrication because of its good workability, but is susceptible to the influence of acid components and alkali components, so that corrosion of the Cu wiring and stability of the oxidized state are problematic in the CMP process.
- a large amount of abrasive grains such as colloidal silica used in the CMP process and organic residues derived from the anticorrosive contained in the slurry are present on the surface of the semiconductor device substrate after the CMP process. In order to remove these, the semiconductor device substrate after the CMP process is subjected to a cleaning process.
- an acidic cleaning solution or an alkaline cleaning solution is used.
- both of the solvents of the cleaning liquid are water
- the colloidal silica is positively charged in the aqueous solution
- the substrate surface is negatively charged, the electric attractive force works, and the colloidal silica is removed. It becomes difficult.
- the alkaline cleaning liquid is rich in OH ⁇ in the aqueous solution, so that both the colloidal silica and the substrate surface are negatively charged, an electric repulsive force works, and the colloidal silica can be easily removed. .
- Cu is oxidized to Cu 2+ in an acidic aqueous solution and dissolved in the liquid, but a passive film such as Cu 2 O or CuO is formed on the surface in an alkaline aqueous solution. Since copper is exposed on the surface of the semiconductor device substrate after the CMP step, it is better to use an alkaline cleaning solution than an acidic cleaning solution for the copper of the semiconductor device substrate in the cleaning step after the CMP step. It is thought to reduce corrosion.

Abstract
Description
本発明は、半導体デバイス用基板の洗浄液に関する。また、本発明は、半導体デバイス用基板の洗浄方法、半導体デバイス用基板の製造方法及び半導体デバイス用基板にも関する。 The present invention relates to a cleaning liquid for a semiconductor device substrate. The present invention also relates to a method for cleaning a semiconductor device substrate, a method for manufacturing a semiconductor device substrate, and a semiconductor device substrate.
半導体デバイス用基板は、シリコンウェハ基板の上に、配線となる金属膜や層間絶縁膜の堆積層を形成した後に、研磨微粒子を含む水系スラリーからなる研磨剤を使用する化学的機械的研磨(Chemical Mechanical Polishing、以下、「CMP」と称する。)工程によって表面の平坦化処理を行い、平坦となった面の上に新たな層を積み重ねていくことで製造される。半導体デバイス用基板の微細加工においては、各層における精度の高い平坦性が必要であり、CMPによる平坦化処理の重要性はますます高まっている。 A semiconductor device substrate is a chemical mechanical polishing (chemical) that uses a polishing slurry made of a water-based slurry containing abrasive fine particles after forming a metal film or interlayer insulating film deposition layer on a silicon wafer substrate. (Mechanical Polishing, hereinafter referred to as “CMP”) The surface is flattened by a process, and a new layer is stacked on the flattened surface. In microfabrication of a substrate for a semiconductor device, high-precision flatness in each layer is required, and the importance of planarization by CMP is increasing.
近年の半導体デバイス製造工程では、デバイスの高速化・高集積化のために抵抗値の低い銅(Cu)膜からなる配線(Cu配線)が導入されている。
Cuは加工性がよいため微細加工に適するが、酸成分やアルカリ成分によって影響を受けやすいため、CMP工程においてCu配線の腐食や酸化状態の安定性が問題となっている。
In recent semiconductor device manufacturing processes, wiring (Cu wiring) made of a copper (Cu) film having a low resistance value has been introduced in order to increase the speed and integration of devices.
Cu is suitable for microfabrication because of its good workability, but is susceptible to the influence of acid components and alkali components, so that corrosion of the Cu wiring and stability of the oxidized state are problematic in the CMP process.
また、CMP工程後の半導体デバイス用基板表面には、CMP工程で使用されたコロイダルシリカ等の砥粒や、スラリー中に含まれる防食剤由来の有機残渣等が多量に存在する。これらを除去するために、CMP工程後の半導体デバイス用基板は洗浄工程に供される。 In addition, a large amount of abrasive grains such as colloidal silica used in the CMP process and organic residues derived from the anticorrosive contained in the slurry are present on the surface of the semiconductor device substrate after the CMP process. In order to remove these, the semiconductor device substrate after the CMP process is subjected to a cleaning process.
CMP工程後の洗浄においては、酸性の洗浄液又はアルカリ性の洗浄液が用いられている。上記洗浄液の溶媒が共に水である場合、酸性の洗浄液については、その水溶液中で、コロイダルシリカが正に帯電し、基板表面は負に帯電し、電気的な引力が働き、コロイダルシリカの除去は困難となる。これに対し、アルカリ性の洗浄液については、その水溶液中ではOH-が豊富に存在するため、コロイダルシリカと基板表面は共に負に帯電し、電気的な斥力が働き、コロイダルシリカの除去が行いやすくなる。 In the cleaning after the CMP process, an acidic cleaning solution or an alkaline cleaning solution is used. When both of the solvents of the cleaning liquid are water, in the case of an acidic cleaning liquid, the colloidal silica is positively charged in the aqueous solution, the substrate surface is negatively charged, the electric attractive force works, and the colloidal silica is removed. It becomes difficult. On the other hand, the alkaline cleaning liquid is rich in OH − in the aqueous solution, so that both the colloidal silica and the substrate surface are negatively charged, an electric repulsive force works, and the colloidal silica can be easily removed. .
一方で、Cuは酸性水溶液中ではCu2+に酸化して液中に溶解するが、アルカリ性水溶液中ではCu2OやCuOといった不動態膜を表面に形成する。CMP工程後の半導体デバイス用基板表面には、銅が露出していることから、酸性の洗浄液に比べてアルカリ性の洗浄液を用いた方が、CMP工程後の洗浄工程における半導体デバイス用基板の銅の腐食を軽減すると考えられている。 On the other hand, Cu is oxidized to Cu 2+ in an acidic aqueous solution and dissolved in the liquid, but a passive film such as Cu 2 O or CuO is formed on the surface in an alkaline aqueous solution. Since copper is exposed on the surface of the semiconductor device substrate after the CMP step, it is better to use an alkaline cleaning solution than an acidic cleaning solution for the copper of the semiconductor device substrate in the cleaning step after the CMP step. It is thought to reduce corrosion.
ここで、半導体デバイス用基板の洗浄液としては、例えば、特許文献1には、(A)キレート剤、(B)NH2-R-NH2で表される化合物及び(C)水を含有する、pHが8~14の半導体デバイス用基板洗浄液が記載されている。 Here, as a cleaning liquid for a substrate for a semiconductor device, for example, Patent Document 1 contains (A) a chelating agent, (B) a compound represented by NH 2 —R—NH 2 , and (C) water. A substrate cleaning solution for semiconductor devices having a pH of 8 to 14 is described.
また、特許文献2には、(A)ヒスチジン及び/又はヒスチジン誘導体、(B)アスコルビン酸、(C)没食子酸及び(D)水を含有するpHが8以上の半導体デバイス用基板洗浄液は、Cu表面にCu2Oの酸化膜が安定的に存在し、Cu-BTA錯体も除去しやすいと記載されている。また、(B)アスコルビン酸及び(C)没食子酸を含有せず、(A)ヒスチジン及び/又はヒスチジン誘導体と(D)水のpH8以上の半導体デバイス用基板の洗浄液は、Cu表面の酸化膜が不均一となる旨記載されている。 Patent Document 2 discloses a substrate cleaning solution for a semiconductor device having a pH of 8 or more, which contains (A) histidine and / or a histidine derivative, (B) ascorbic acid, (C) gallic acid, and (D) water. It is described that an oxide film of Cu 2 O exists stably on the surface and the Cu—BTA complex is easily removed. In addition, (B) the ascorbic acid and (C) gallic acid-free (A) histidine and / or histidine derivatives and (D) water cleaning solution for semiconductor device substrates having a pH of 8 or more are composed of an oxide film on the Cu surface. It is described that it becomes non-uniform.
さらに、特許文献3には、バリアメタル層を有する半導体デバイス用基板の洗浄液であって、半導体デバイス用基板のバリアメタル層がTa、Ti及びRuからなる群から選ばれた一つ以上の金属を含み、洗浄液が、ヒスチジン、pH調整剤及び水を含有し、洗浄液中のヒスチジンの濃度が0.0125質量%以上である洗浄液が記載されている。この洗浄液によって、CMP工程後の半導体デバイス用基板を洗浄すると、洗浄性と防食性をバランスよく向上できることが記載されている。 Further, Patent Document 3 discloses a cleaning liquid for a semiconductor device substrate having a barrier metal layer, wherein the barrier metal layer of the semiconductor device substrate includes at least one metal selected from the group consisting of Ta, Ti, and Ru. The cleaning liquid contains histidine, a pH adjuster, and water, and the concentration of histidine in the cleaning liquid is 0.0125% by mass or more. It is described that when the semiconductor device substrate after the CMP process is cleaned with this cleaning solution, the cleaning property and the anticorrosion property can be improved in a balanced manner.
特許文献1に代表されるように、アルカリ性の洗浄液は防食性に優れるが、CMP工程後の半導体デバイス用基板上に残る有機残差(Cu-BTA)除去に課題があった。一方、特許文献2及び3記載のアルカリ性の洗浄液は、ヒスチジンを含むことによって、CMP工程後の半導体デバイス用基板上に残る有機残差(Cu-BTA)を錯化して効率的に除去することが可能となった。 As typified by Patent Document 1, an alkaline cleaning solution is excellent in anticorrosion, but has a problem in removing an organic residue (Cu-BTA) remaining on a semiconductor device substrate after the CMP process. On the other hand, the alkaline cleaning liquid described in Patent Documents 2 and 3 can efficiently remove the organic residual (Cu-BTA) remaining on the semiconductor device substrate after the CMP process by containing histidine. It has become possible.
さらに、一般的な半導体デバイス用基板の製造では、CMP工程後に行われる洗浄工程後の半導体デバイス用基板は、一定期間(数十分~1日以上)、大気中に放置されることがある。その間に、半導体デバイス用基板上に露出したCu等の金属配線が酸化して微小異物が形成される問題があった。 Furthermore, in the manufacture of a general semiconductor device substrate, the semiconductor device substrate after the cleaning process performed after the CMP process may be left in the atmosphere for a certain period (tens of minutes to one day or more). In the meantime, there has been a problem that metal wiring such as Cu exposed on the semiconductor device substrate is oxidized to form minute foreign matters.
また、特許文献2及び3に記載の半導体デバイス用基板の洗浄液は、上記微小異物の形成の回避と、CMP工程後の基板表面上の有機残渣除去の両立という点で十分な機能を有する洗浄液とは言えず、特に、従来のアルカリ系の洗浄液において、これらの両立ができるものは見出されていなかった。 In addition, the semiconductor device substrate cleaning liquid described in Patent Documents 2 and 3 is a cleaning liquid having a sufficient function in terms of avoiding the formation of the fine foreign matter and removing organic residues on the substrate surface after the CMP process. In particular, no conventional alkaline cleaning solution has been found that can achieve both of these.
かかる状況下、本発明の目的は、半導体デバイス用基板の洗浄工程に用いられ、金属配線の酸化による微小異物の形成を抑制でき、かつ、基板表面上における有機残渣除去力の高い洗浄液を提供することにある。また、本発明の目的は、該洗浄液を用いた半導体デバイス用基板の洗浄方法、半導体デバイス用基板の製造方法及び半導体デバイス用基板を提供することにある。 Under such circumstances, an object of the present invention is to provide a cleaning liquid that is used in a semiconductor device substrate cleaning process, can suppress the formation of minute foreign matter due to oxidation of metal wiring, and has a high organic residue removing power on the substrate surface. There is. Another object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor device substrate cleaning method, a semiconductor device substrate manufacturing method, and a semiconductor device substrate using the cleaning liquid.
本発明者らは、上記課題を解決すべく鋭意研究を重ねた結果、特定成分を含有するアルカリ性の洗浄液による半導体デバイス用基板の洗浄において、Cuが露出している基板表面上に形成されるCuOやCu2Oの酸化膜が、上述の大気中での放置による基板表面上の微小異物の形成を制御できる点に着目し、本発明を完成するに至った。 As a result of intensive studies to solve the above problems, the present inventors have found that CuO formed on the substrate surface where Cu is exposed in cleaning of a semiconductor device substrate with an alkaline cleaning liquid containing a specific component. Focusing on the fact that the formation of minute foreign matters on the surface of the substrate by being left in the above-described atmosphere can be controlled by the oxide film of Cu and Cu 2 O, the present invention has been completed.

[ヒスチジン]
本発明の洗浄液は、ヒスチジンの含有率が、洗浄液全量100質量%中、0質量%以上5質量%以下であることが好ましく、0質量%以上0.05質量%以下であることがより好ましく、0質量%以上0.01質量%以下であることがさらに好ましい。
[Histidine]
In the cleaning liquid of the present invention, the histidine content is preferably 0% by mass or more and 5% by mass or less, more preferably 0% by mass or more and 0.05% by mass or less, in the total amount of the cleaning liquid of 100% by mass. More preferably, it is 0 mass% or more and 0.01 mass% or less.
本発明の洗浄液を用いて半導体デバイス用基板を洗浄する際には、その洗浄液中のヒスチジンの含有率は少ない方がよく、0.01質量%以下であれば、ヒスチジンの影響を大幅に抑制することができる。 When the semiconductor device substrate is cleaned using the cleaning liquid of the present invention, the content of histidine in the cleaning liquid is preferably small. If the content is 0.01% by mass or less, the influence of histidine is greatly suppressed. be able to.
また、本発明の洗浄液は、ヒスチジンの含有率が、洗浄液全量100質量%中、0質量%以上0.01質量%以下であると、CMP工程後の半導体デバイス用基板の洗浄に用いても、微小異物が形成されにくくなる。その理由としては以下のことが推測される。 Further, the cleaning liquid of the present invention has a histidine content of 0% by mass or more and 0.01% by mass or less in the total amount of the cleaning liquid of 100% by mass, even when used for cleaning a semiconductor device substrate after the CMP step. It becomes difficult to form minute foreign matter. The reason is presumed as follows.
ヒスチジンを含む洗浄液をCMP工程後の半導体デバイス用基板の洗浄に用いると、何らかの理由で、ヒスチジンが基板表面上の銅と強く結合し、基板上の露出した銅表面に残留すると推測される。そして、その結果、半導体デバイス用基板上に露出した銅の表面がヒスチジンで覆われるような形になり、大気中の酸素が、基板上の銅と結合しにくくなっていると推測される。 When a cleaning liquid containing histidine is used for cleaning a semiconductor device substrate after the CMP process, it is presumed that for some reason, histidine is strongly bonded to copper on the substrate surface and remains on the exposed copper surface on the substrate. As a result, the copper surface exposed on the semiconductor device substrate is covered with histidine, and it is presumed that oxygen in the atmosphere is difficult to bond with copper on the substrate.
本来であれば、大気中の酸素が基板表面上の銅と結合し、適切な厚みの酸化被膜を形成できるのであるが、ヒスチジンが一定量以上存在すると上記のような原因で、半導体デバイス用の基板表面上の銅露出部分に形成されるべき酸化膜(CuOやCu2O)が形成されにくく、仮に形成したとしてもその酸化膜は薄いものとなっていると推測される。 Originally, oxygen in the atmosphere combines with copper on the surface of the substrate to form an oxide film with an appropriate thickness. However, if a certain amount or more of histidine is present, the above-mentioned causes cause problems for semiconductor devices. An oxide film (CuO or Cu 2 O) to be formed on the exposed copper portion on the substrate surface is difficult to form, and even if formed, the oxide film is presumed to be thin.
一方、ヒスチジンの含有率が、洗浄液全量100質量%中、0質量%以上0.01質量%以下である洗浄液で半導体デバイス用基板を洗浄すると、銅の酸化膜が形成しやすく、洗浄後大気下で半導体デバイス用基板を保管していても、基板表面上の銅露出部分が著しく酸化することはない。結果として、微小異物の形成は抑制できる。 On the other hand, when the semiconductor device substrate is washed with a cleaning liquid having a histidine content of 0% by mass to 0.01% by mass in 100% by mass of the total amount of the cleaning liquid, a copper oxide film is easily formed. Even if the semiconductor device substrate is stored, the exposed copper portion on the substrate surface is not significantly oxidized. As a result, the formation of minute foreign matters can be suppressed.
上記の推定メカニズムによれば、洗浄後の半導体デバイス用基板を大気雰囲気に放置した際に、異常酸化が起こるのは、洗浄液の成分として存在する一定量のヒスチジンが、酸化被膜の形成を阻害することが原因である、と推察される。 According to the above estimation mechanism, when the cleaned semiconductor device substrate is left in the air atmosphere, abnormal oxidation occurs because a certain amount of histidine present as a component of the cleaning solution inhibits the formation of an oxide film. It is assumed that this is the cause.
[pH]
本発明の洗浄液はpHが8以上11.5以下である。洗浄液のpHが8以上であることにより、液中のコロイダルシリカ等のゼータ電位を低下させ、基板との電気的な反発力を稼ぐことができる。それにより、微小粒子の除去を容易にすることができ、かつ、除去した微小粒子が洗浄対象である基板表面に再付着することを抑制することができる。
[PH]
The cleaning liquid of the present invention has a pH of 8 or more and 11.5 or less. When the pH of the cleaning liquid is 8 or more, the zeta potential of colloidal silica or the like in the liquid can be reduced, and an electrical repulsive force with the substrate can be obtained. Thereby, the removal of the fine particles can be facilitated, and the removed fine particles can be prevented from reattaching to the surface of the substrate to be cleaned.
ここで、ゼータ電位をより低下させるためには、本発明の洗浄液は、pHが9以上であることが好ましく、pHが10以上であることがさらに好ましい。pHを高くすればするほど、Cu表面が酸化膜で保護されるためエッチングされにくくなる。
また、洗浄性を担保しつつ、腐食を抑えるためには、pHは11.5以下であることが必要であり、11.3以下であることが好ましく、11以下であることがより好ましい。
なお、本発明の洗浄液におけるpHは、後述の成分(D):pH調整剤やその他の成分の添加量等により上述のpHの範囲に調整することができる。
以下、本発明の洗浄液に含まれる各成分についてその作用と共に詳細に説明する。
Here, in order to further reduce the zeta potential, the pH of the cleaning liquid of the present invention is preferably 9 or more, and more preferably 10 or more. The higher the pH is, the more difficult the etching is because the Cu surface is protected by an oxide film.
Moreover, in order to suppress corrosion while ensuring detergency, the pH needs to be 11.5 or less, preferably 11.3 or less, and more preferably 11 or less.
In addition, pH in the cleaning liquid of the present invention can be adjusted to the above-described pH range by adding component (D): pH adjusting agent and other components described later.

<半導体デバイス用基板の洗浄方法>
次いで、本発明の半導体デバイス用基板の洗浄方法(以下、「本発明の洗浄方法」と称する場合がある。)について説明する。
本発明の洗浄方法は、上述の本発明の洗浄液を半導体デバイス用基板に直接接触させる方法で行なわれる。
<Cleaning method of semiconductor device substrate>
Next, a method for cleaning a substrate for a semiconductor device of the present invention (hereinafter sometimes referred to as “the cleaning method of the present invention”) will be described.
The cleaning method of the present invention is performed by a method in which the above-described cleaning liquid of the present invention is brought into direct contact with a semiconductor device substrate.
洗浄対象となる半導体デバイス用基板としては、半導体、ガラス、金属、セラミックス、樹脂、磁性体、超伝導体等の各種半導体デバイス用基板が挙げられる。
これらの中でも、本発明の洗浄液は、短時間のリンスで有機残渣及び砥粒の除去ができるため、配線等として表面に金属又は金属化合物を有する半導体デバイス用基板に対して特に好適であり、特に表面にCu配線を有する半導体デバイス用基板に対して好適である。
Examples of the semiconductor device substrate to be cleaned include various semiconductor device substrates such as a semiconductor, glass, metal, ceramics, resin, magnetic material, and superconductor.
Among these, the cleaning liquid of the present invention is particularly suitable for a semiconductor device substrate having a metal or a metal compound on its surface as wiring, etc., because organic residues and abrasive grains can be removed with a short rinse. It is suitable for a semiconductor device substrate having Cu wiring on the surface.
ここで、半導体デバイス用基板に使用される上記金属としては、W、Cu、Ti、Cr、Co、Zr、Hf、Mo、Ru、Au、Pt、Ag等が挙げられ、半導体デバイス用基板に使用される上記金属化合物としては、上記金属の窒化物、酸化物、シリサイド等が挙げられる。
これらの中では、Cu及びCuを含有する化合物がより好適に半導体デバイス用基板に使用される。
また、本発明の洗浄方法は、疎水性の強い低誘電率絶縁材料に対しても洗浄効果が高いため、表面に低誘電率絶縁材料を有する半導体デバイス用基板に対しても好適である。
Here, examples of the metal used for the semiconductor device substrate include W, Cu, Ti, Cr, Co, Zr, Hf, Mo, Ru, Au, Pt, and Ag, and are used for the semiconductor device substrate. Examples of the metal compound to be used include nitrides, oxides and silicides of the above metals.
Among these, Cu and a compound containing Cu are more suitably used for a substrate for a semiconductor device.
Further, the cleaning method of the present invention is suitable for a semiconductor device substrate having a low dielectric constant insulating material on the surface because the cleaning effect is high even for a low dielectric constant insulating material having strong hydrophobicity.
このような低誘電率絶縁材料としては、Polyimide、BCB(Benzocyclobutene)、Flare(商品名、Honeywell社製)、SiLK(商品名、Dow Chemical社製)等の有機ポリマー材料やFSG(Fluorinated silicate glass)等の無機ポリマー材料、BLACK DIAMOND(商品名、Applied Materials社製)、Aurora(商品名、日本ASM社製)等のSiOC系材料が挙げられる。 Examples of such a low dielectric constant insulating material include organic polymer materials such as Polyimide, BCB (Benzocyclobutylene), Flare (trade name, manufactured by Honeywell), SiLK (trade name, manufactured by Dow Chemical Co.), and FSG (Fluorinated silica). And inorganic polymer materials such as BLACK DIAMOND (trade name, manufactured by Applied Materials), and Aurora (trade name, manufactured by ASM Japan).
ここで、本発明の洗浄方法は、半導体デバイス用基板が、基板表面にCu配線と低誘電率絶縁膜を有し、かつ、CMP処理後に基板を洗浄する場合に特に好適に適用される。 Here, the cleaning method of the present invention is particularly preferably applied when the substrate for a semiconductor device has Cu wiring and a low dielectric constant insulating film on the substrate surface and the substrate is cleaned after the CMP process.
CMP工程では、研磨剤を用いて基板をパッドに擦り付けて研磨が行われる。
研磨剤には、コロイダルシリカ(SiO2)、フュームドシリカ(SiO2)、アルミナ(Al2O3)、セリア(CeO2)等の研磨粒子が含まれる。このような研磨粒子は、半導体デバイス用基板の微粒子汚染の主因となるが、本発明の洗浄液は、基板に付着した微粒子を除去して洗浄液中に分散させると共に該微粒子の再付着を防止する作用を有しているため、微粒子汚染に対して高い効果を示す。
In the CMP process, polishing is performed by rubbing the substrate against the pad using an abrasive.
The abrasive includes abrasive particles such as colloidal silica (SiO 2 ), fumed silica (SiO 2 ), alumina (Al 2 O 3 ), and ceria (CeO 2 ). Such abrasive particles are a main cause of contamination of the semiconductor device substrate. However, the cleaning liquid of the present invention removes the fine particles adhering to the substrate and disperses them in the cleaning liquid and prevents the re-adhesion of the fine particles. It has a high effect on particulate contamination.
また、研磨剤には、酸化剤、分散剤等の研磨粒子以外の添加剤が含まれることがある。
特に、その表面に金属配線としてCu膜を有する半導体デバイス用基板におけるCMP研磨では、Cu膜が腐食しやすいため、防食剤が添加されることが多い。
Further, the abrasive may contain additives other than abrasive particles such as an oxidizing agent and a dispersant.
In particular, in CMP polishing on a semiconductor device substrate having a Cu film as a metal wiring on its surface, an anticorrosive agent is often added because the Cu film tends to corrode.
防食剤としては、防食効果の高いアゾール系防食剤が好ましく用いられる。より具体的には、へテロ原子が窒素原子のみの複素環を含むものとして、ジアゾール系やトリアゾール系、テトラゾール系が挙げられ、へテロ原子が窒素原子と酸素原子の複素環を含むものとして、オキサゾール系やイソオキサゾール系、オキサジアゾール系が挙げられ、へテロ原子が窒素原子と硫黄原子の複素環を含むものとして、チアゾール系やイソチアゾール系、チアジアゾール系が挙げられる。その中でも特に、防食効果に優れるベンゾトリアゾール(BTA)系の防食剤が好ましく用いられている。 As the anticorrosive, an azole anticorrosive having a high anticorrosive effect is preferably used. More specifically, examples of heteroatoms containing a heterocycle containing only nitrogen atoms include diazoles, triazoles, and tetrazoles, and heteroatoms containing heterocycles of nitrogen and oxygen atoms. An oxazole type, an isoxazole type, and an oxadiazole type are mentioned, and those in which the hetero atom contains a nitrogen atom and a sulfur atom heterocycle include a thiazole type, an isothiazole type, and a thiadiazole type. Among them, a benzotriazole (BTA) anticorrosive having an excellent anticorrosion effect is particularly preferably used.
本発明の洗浄液は、このような防食剤を含んだ研磨剤で研磨した後の基板表面に適用すると、これら防食剤に由来した汚染を極めて効果的に除去できる点において優れている。
即ち、研磨剤中にこれらの防食剤が存在すると、Cu膜表面の腐食を抑える反面、研磨時に溶出したCuイオンと反応し、多量の不溶性析出物を生じる。本発明の洗浄液は、このような不溶性析出物を効率的に溶解除去することができ、さらに、金属表面に残りやすい界面活性剤を、短時間のリンスで除去することができ、スループットの向上が可能である。
When the cleaning liquid of the present invention is applied to the surface of a substrate after being polished with an abrasive containing such an anticorrosive, it is excellent in that the contamination derived from the anticorrosive can be removed extremely effectively.
That is, when these anticorrosives are present in the abrasive, the corrosion of the surface of the Cu film is suppressed, but on the other hand, it reacts with Cu ions eluted during polishing to produce a large amount of insoluble precipitates. The cleaning liquid of the present invention can efficiently dissolve and remove such insoluble precipitates, and further can remove the surfactant that tends to remain on the metal surface by rinsing in a short time, thereby improving the throughput. Is possible.
そのため、本発明の洗浄方法は、Cu膜と低誘電率絶縁膜が共存した表面をCMP処理した後の半導体デバイス用基板の洗浄に好適であり、特にアゾール系防食剤が入った研磨剤でCMP処理した上記基板の洗浄に好適である。
上述のように本発明の洗浄方法は、本発明の洗浄液を半導体デバイス用基板に直接接触させる方法で行われる。なお、洗浄対象となる半導体デバイス用基板の種類に合わせて、好適な成分濃度の洗浄液が選択される。
Therefore, the cleaning method of the present invention is suitable for cleaning a substrate for a semiconductor device after performing CMP treatment on the surface on which the Cu film and the low dielectric constant insulating film coexist, and in particular, using a polishing agent containing an azole anticorrosive agent for CMP. It is suitable for cleaning the treated substrate.
As described above, the cleaning method of the present invention is performed by a method in which the cleaning liquid of the present invention is brought into direct contact with the semiconductor device substrate. A cleaning liquid having a suitable component concentration is selected according to the type of the semiconductor device substrate to be cleaned.
本発明の洗浄方法における洗浄液の基板への接触方法には、洗浄槽に洗浄液を満たして基板を浸漬させるディップ式、ノズルから基板上に洗浄液を流しながら基板を高速回転させるスピン式、基板に液を噴霧して洗浄するスプレー式等が挙げられる。この様な洗浄を行うための装置としては、カセットに収容された複数枚の基板を同時に洗浄するバッチ式洗浄装置、1枚の基板をホルダーに装着して洗浄する枚葉式洗浄装置等がある。 In the cleaning method of the present invention, the cleaning solution is brought into contact with the substrate by a dip method in which the cleaning solution is filled with the cleaning solution and the substrate is immersed, a spin method in which the substrate is rotated at high speed while flowing the cleaning solution from the nozzle onto the substrate, and a liquid is applied to the substrate. Spray type etc. which are sprayed and washed. As an apparatus for performing such cleaning, there are a batch type cleaning apparatus for simultaneously cleaning a plurality of substrates accommodated in a cassette, a single wafer type cleaning apparatus for mounting and cleaning a single substrate on a holder, and the like. .
本発明の洗浄方法は、上記の何れの接触方法も適用できるが、短時間でより効率的な汚染除去ができる点から、スピン式やスプレー式の洗浄に好ましく使用される。この場合において、洗浄時間の短縮、洗浄液使用量の削減が望まれている枚葉式洗浄装置に適用するならば、これらの問題が解決されるので好ましい。 Any of the contact methods described above can be applied to the cleaning method of the present invention, but it is preferably used for spin-type and spray-type cleaning because it allows more efficient decontamination in a short time. In this case, it is preferable to apply to a single wafer cleaning apparatus in which the cleaning time and the amount of cleaning liquid used are desired, since these problems can be solved.
また、本発明の洗浄方法は、物理力による洗浄方法、特に、洗浄ブラシを使用したスクラブ洗浄や周波数0.5メガヘルツ以上の超音波洗浄を併用すると、基板に付着した微粒子による汚染の除去性がさらに向上し、洗浄時間の短縮にも繋がるので好ましい。特に、CMP工程後の洗浄においては、樹脂製ブラシを使用してスクラブ洗浄を行うのが好ましい。樹脂製ブラシの材質は、任意に選択し得るが、例えば、PVA(ポリビニルアルコール)を使用するのが好ましい。 In addition, the cleaning method of the present invention is capable of removing contamination caused by fine particles adhering to the substrate when used in combination with a cleaning method based on physical force, particularly scrub cleaning using a cleaning brush or ultrasonic cleaning with a frequency of 0.5 MHz or higher. This is preferable because it further improves and shortens the cleaning time. In particular, in the cleaning after the CMP process, scrub cleaning is preferably performed using a resin brush. The material of the resin brush can be arbitrarily selected, but for example, PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) is preferably used.
さらに、本発明の洗浄方法による洗浄の前及び/又は後に、水による洗浄を行ってもよい。
本発明の洗浄方法において、洗浄液の温度は、通常は室温でよいが、性能を損なわない範囲で40~70℃程度に加温してもよい。
Furthermore, you may perform the washing | cleaning by water before and / or after the washing | cleaning by the washing | cleaning method of this invention.
In the cleaning method of the present invention, the temperature of the cleaning solution is usually room temperature, but may be heated to about 40 to 70 ° C. within a range not impairing the performance.

Cu2p3/2に由来するピークが932.5eVに、N1sに由来するピークが400eVに検出された。それぞれのピーク強度から検出されたCuとNの量を測定し、原子量比(N/Cu)を求めた。結果を表1に示す。 A peak derived from Cu2p 3/2 was detected at 932.5 eV, and a peak derived from N1s was detected at 400 eV. The amount of Cu and N detected from each peak intensity was measured to determine the atomic weight ratio (N / Cu). The results are shown in Table 1.
原子量比(N/Cu)が小さいと、Cu表面に残留するN含有有機物量が少ないことを示しているので、CMP工程後の基板表面上の有機残渣が少ないといえる。 When the atomic weight ratio (N / Cu) is small, it indicates that the amount of N-containing organic matter remaining on the Cu surface is small, so that it can be said that the organic residue on the substrate surface after the CMP process is small.
該原子量比が0.05を超えるときCu表面に残留するN含有有機物量が多いため、少なくとも0.05以下、好ましくは0.03以下にする必要がある。該原子量比が0.05以下であれば、Cu表面に残留するN含有有機物量が少ないため、CMP工程後の基板表面上の有機残渣が少ない。 When the atomic weight ratio exceeds 0.05, the amount of N-containing organic matter remaining on the Cu surface is large, so it is necessary to set it to at least 0.05, preferably 0.03 or less. If the atomic weight ratio is 0.05 or less, the amount of N-containing organic matter remaining on the Cu surface is small, so that there is little organic residue on the substrate surface after the CMP process.
また、Cu酸化膜に由来するピークが569eVに検出され、Cuメタルに由来するピークが567eVに検出された。569eVと567eVの強度比(569eV/567eV)を求めた。結果を表1に示す。 Further, a peak derived from the Cu oxide film was detected at 569 eV, and a peak derived from the Cu metal was detected at 567 eV. The intensity ratio (569 eV / 567 eV) between 569 eV and 567 eV was determined. The results are shown in Table 1.
該強度比が0.9未満であるときCu酸化膜が薄く、基板上の露出した銅表面の酸化が洗浄後に起こるため、少なくとも0.9以上、好ましくは1.0以上にする必要がある。該強度比が1.0以上であれば、銅表面の酸化が抑制されるため、Cu酸化膜が十分に形成され、基板表面上の微小異物の形成を抑制できる。 When the intensity ratio is less than 0.9, the Cu oxide film is thin, and oxidation of the exposed copper surface on the substrate occurs after cleaning. Therefore, it is necessary to set it to at least 0.9, preferably 1.0 or more. When the intensity ratio is 1.0 or more, oxidation of the copper surface is suppressed, so that a Cu oxide film is sufficiently formed, and formation of minute foreign matters on the substrate surface can be suppressed.

実施例1は、欠陥数が5と少なく、原子量比(N/Cu)が0.02と低く、569eV/567eVにおけるピーク強度比も1.0以上となっていることから、Cu表面には窒素を含んだ化合物はほとんど残留しておらず、またCu酸化膜が厚く形成されており、大気に静置しておいた際に酸化も起こりにくい状況であることが分かった。
実施例2、実施例3及び実施例6も同様である。
In Example 1, the number of defects is as small as 5, the atomic weight ratio (N / Cu) is as low as 0.02, and the peak intensity ratio at 569 eV / 567 eV is also 1.0 or more. It was found that almost no compound containing was present, and that the Cu oxide film was formed thick, and oxidation was unlikely to occur when left in the atmosphere.
The same applies to Example 2, Example 3, and Example 6.
実施例4及び実施例5は、実施例1の成分に加えて、ヒスチジンを含んでいるが、原子量比(N/Cu)がやや高いものの、欠陥数は少なかった。 Example 4 and Example 5 contained histidine in addition to the components of Example 1, but the atomic weight ratio (N / Cu) was slightly high, but the number of defects was small.
一方、比較例1は、原子量比(N/Cu)は0.01と低く、569eV/567eVにおけるピーク強度比も1.4と高いが、成分(A)を含有していないため、欠陥数が55と多かった。
比較例2は、pHが11.9と高いため、欠陥数が多かった。
比較例3~比較例5は、成分(A)の代わりに、上記一般式(1)~(3)で表される化合物と異なる成分を使用しているため、欠陥数が多かった。
On the other hand, in Comparative Example 1, the atomic weight ratio (N / Cu) is as low as 0.01, and the peak intensity ratio at 569 eV / 567 eV is as high as 1.4. However, since it does not contain the component (A), the number of defects is small. There were 55.
Since the comparative example 2 had a high pH of 11.9, the number of defects was large.
Since Comparative Example 3 to Comparative Example 5 used a component different from the compounds represented by the general formulas (1) to (3) instead of the component (A), the number of defects was large.
