Description

Surfactant, preparation method thereof and ceramic part cleaning method
Technical Field
The application relates to the technical field of semiconductor processing, in particular to a surfactant, a preparation method thereof and a ceramic part cleaning method.
Background
Contamination is a non-negligible factor in the fabrication of integrated circuits, and it is counted that 50% yield loss is derived from contamination, and particle contamination is one of the main sources of contamination. When particles adhere to the wafer surface, buried defects may be formed during film deposition, transfer of the lithographic pattern to the film pattern may be blocked during etching, and disconnection of the wires and conduction of adjacent wires may be caused in the latter part of the process. In general, if the particle size exceeds 50% of the minimum feature size of the device, there is a possibility that the device may fail. Therefore, with the continuous miniaturization requirement of integrated circuits and the increase of process difficulty, the control of particle pollution is a necessary condition for ensuring the production efficiency and the product yield.
Alumina ceramics are a ceramic made of alumina (Al 2 O 3 ) The ceramic material which is the main body is the most stable substance in oxide, has the advantages of high temperature resistance, corrosion resistance, wear resistance, high mechanical strength, high hardness, high electrical insulation property, low dielectric loss and the like, and the alumina ceramic material is increasingly applied to semiconductor equipment. However, this material inevitably generates some powdery particles on the surface during the forming process of granulation, sintering, machining, etc., and these particles once dropped on the wafer during the semiconductor manufacturing process may affect the process results, such as conduction of different wires, disconnection of the same wire, formation of voids, and the like, causing greater energy consumption and heat generation. These particles, if not removed, can severely impact process results and chip yield.
In order to remove particles on the ceramic piece, the ceramic piece needs to be cleaned, however, the existing cleaning method for the ceramic piece generally adopts an acidic solution, an alkaline solution and deionized water to clean, and as many tiny particles are hidden in gaps among grain boundaries of the ceramic piece, the acidic solution, the alkaline solution and the deionized water are difficult to enter the gaps, so that the tiny particles cannot be cleaned effectively. The detection shows that the particle number of the ceramic piece obtained by the existing ceramic piece cleaning method is more than or equal to 50ea per unit area, which falls on the wafer in the process, and is far higher than the particle index (the particle number per unit area is less than 2 ea).

Third embodiment
Referring to fig. 2, the present embodiment provides a method for cleaning a ceramic part, which includes:
a first cleaning process, in which particles on the ceramic piece are dissolved by using a chemical solution;
the first cleaning process can effectively clean particles on the surface of the ceramic part, in particular to clean particles on blind holes, folds and non-welding gaps with larger sizes on the surface of the ceramic part.
A second cleaning process of cleaning the entire surface of the ceramic member with the surfactant provided in this embodiment to remove minute particles;
the surfactant provided by the embodiment is negatively charged or anionic, and the polar molecules of the ceramic piece are positively charged, so that the surfactant can effectively remove particles on the ceramic piece; in addition, the surfactant provided by the embodiment has fixed hydrophilic and lipophilic groups, can be arranged on the surface of the liquid in an oriented manner, and particularly can enable the surface tension of the liquid to be obviously reduced, so that the liquid can infiltrate into gaps between ceramic grain boundaries, and particles hidden in the gaps can be cleaned and removed, and the number of the particles can be greatly reduced.
And a third cleaning process, namely cleaning the ceramic piece in an ultrasonic cleaning mode to remove residual particles and solution on the ceramic piece.
Ultrasonic cleaning refers to cleaning of particles on a ceramic material by water waves generated by ultrasonic vibration. The ceramic part can be comprehensively cleaned in the third cleaning process, and finally the cleaning effect can be effectively improved.
A detailed description of the first cleaning process is provided below. Specifically, as shown in fig. 3, the first cleaning process specifically includes the following steps:
s101, soaking a ceramic piece in an alkaline degreasing agent;
the alkaline degreasing agent may dissolve particles on the ceramic part.
In order to effectively dissolve the particles on the ceramic part and improve the cleaning effect, optionally, in the step S101, the time for immersing the ceramic part in the alkaline degreasing agent is in a range of 50min or more and 80min or less.
S102, soaking the ceramic piece soaked in the alkaline degreasing agent in deionized water;
the step S102 is used for cleaning the alkaline degreasing agent on the ceramic part, so as to avoid damage to the sealing surface and the hole edge of the ceramic part caused by the alkaline degreasing agent and influence on the tightness of the part.
S103, spraying deionized water with specified pressure on the whole surface of the ceramic piece soaked in the deionized water;
the step S103 is used to further remove particles and residual solution on the ceramic member.
In order to further improve the cleaning effect, the above specified pressure may be in the range of 40psi or more and 60psi or less.
S104, soaking the sprayed ceramic piece in an acid solution;
the step S104 can neutralize the alkaline solution remained on the ceramic piece to reduce the corrosion of the alkaline solution to the ceramic piece and avoid the damage of the alkaline solution to the sealing surface and the hole edge of the ceramic piece.
Optionally, in step S104, the time period for immersing the ceramic part in the acidic solution is in a range of 5min or more and 10min or less.
Optionally, the acidic solution is hydrochloric acid or a fluoronitric acid solution, wherein the fluoronitric acid solution has better dissolution with an alkaline solution (such as KOH solution).
S105, soaking the ceramic piece soaked in the acid solution in deionized water;
the step S105 is used to clean the acidic solution on the ceramic part.
S106, spraying the deionized water with the specified pressure on the whole surface of the ceramic piece soaked in the deionized water.
The step S106 is used to further remove particles and residual solution on the ceramic member.
In order to further improve the cleaning effect, the above specified pressure may be in the range of 40psi or more and 60psi or less.
Optionally, the second cleaning process includes:
immersing the ceramic member having completed the first cleaning process in the surfactant, and wiping the entire surface of the ceramic member at least 3 times in the surfactant.
That is, the ceramic member is always immersed in the surfactant during wiping of the entire surface of the ceramic member, which is more advantageous in that liquid is infiltrated into gaps between the grain boundaries of the ceramic member to wash out particles hidden in the gaps.
The ceramic piece is soaked in the surfactant, and the ceramic piece is wiped until the whole surface is wiped, wherein the process is 1 st time; the ceramic part is then re-immersed in the unused surfactant and wiped until the entire surface is wiped, the process being 2 nd time, and so on.
A detailed description of the third cleaning process is provided below. Specifically, as shown in fig. 4, the third cleaning process specifically includes the steps of:
s301, soaking the ceramic piece subjected to the second cleaning process in deionized water, and performing ultrasonic cleaning;
optionally, in step S301, the range of resistivity of the deionized water is equal to or greater than 2mΩ·cm, and the range of cleaning time is equal to or greater than 10min, and equal to or less than 15min.
The step S301 can clean the ceramic part comprehensively, and the cleaning effect of the ceramic part can be ensured to meet the process requirement after the ultrasonic cleaning step is completed because the cleaning effect of ultrasonic cleaning by using deionized water is most obvious. Furthermore, the removal of the particles on the surface of the ceramic member and the minute particles in the gaps between the ceramic grain boundaries has been achieved by the foregoing first cleaning process and second cleaning process, so that the particles which cannot be removed can be removed before the ultrasonic cleaning is performed.
S302, soaking the ceramic piece subjected to ultrasonic cleaning in deionized water;
wherein the resistivity of deionized water used in the step S302 is higher than that of deionized water used in the step S301, for example, the resistivity of deionized water in the step S301 is in a range of 2mΩ·cm or more, and the resistivity of deionized water in the step S302 is in a range of 4mΩ·cm or more.
The temperature of the deionized water used in the above step S302 is higher than the temperature of the deionized water used in the above step S301. For example, the temperature of the deionized water used in the step S302 is normal temperature (typically 25 ℃) and the temperature of the deionized water used in the step S301 is in the range of 32 ℃ or higher and 42 ℃ or lower.
In order to improve the cleaning effect, optionally, new deionized water is always introduced into the cleaning tank in the soaking process, and the deionized water in the cleaning tank is discharged in an overflow mode, so that the deionized water is in a circulating flow state, and the cleaning effect can be further improved.
S303, purging the soaked ceramic piece, and baking the ceramic piece after purging.
Optionally, the purge gas used in the step S303 includes nitrogen, and the purity of the nitrogen is 99.999%; the included angle between the nitrogen purging direction and the surface of the ceramic part is, for example, 30 degrees or more and 45 degrees or less, so as to avoid particles from falling on the surface of the ceramic part again.
Optionally, the ceramic part is first thoroughly purged with dry nitrogen; the clean-up oven (or oven) is then purged with dry nitrogen to dry the interior thereof; and finally, placing the ceramic piece into a purged purifying furnace (or oven) for baking.
The following is a comparative experiment performed on ceramic pieces obtained by the ceramic piece cleaning method in the prior art and the ceramic piece cleaning method provided by the embodiment of the present application. Specifically, the ceramic part cleaning method in the prior art comprises the following steps: firstly, immersing a ceramic part in an alkaline degreasing agent for 50-80 min, and then placing the ceramic part in deionized water for rinsing (pressurized deionized water is used for spraying all the positions on the surface of the ceramic part); then, immersing the ceramic piece in an acidic solution for 5-10 min, taking out the ceramic piece from the solution, immersing the ceramic piece in deionized water again for the rinsing, immersing the ceramic piece in deionized water with resistivity greater than or equal to 4MΩ & cm and normal temperature for ultrasonic cleaning for 10-15 min, immersing the ceramic piece in deionized water with resistivity greater than or equal to 8MΩ & cm for hot water immersion cleaning, finally drying the ceramic piece by using nitrogen, and drying the ceramic piece to complete the whole cleaning process.
The ceramic piece cleaning method provided by the embodiment of the application comprises the three cleaning processes, wherein the first cleaning process comprises the steps S101-S106; the second cleaning process comprises the steps of immersing the sprayed ceramic piece in the surfactant, and wiping the whole surface of the ceramic piece at least 3 times in the surfactant; the third cleaning process includes the above steps S301 to S303.
Fig. 5 is an electron microscope scan of a ceramic part obtained by a prior art ceramic part cleaning method. Fig. 6 is an electron microscope scan of a ceramic part obtained by the ceramic part cleaning method according to the embodiment of the application. As can be seen from comparing fig. 5 and fig. 6, the surface of the ceramic piece obtained by the ceramic piece cleaning method in the prior art still has suspended particles, as shown in fig. 5 (a) and (b), wherein white dots on the black area are suspended particles. In addition, the ceramic piece obtained by the ceramic piece cleaning method in the prior art has the particle number of particles falling on a wafer per unit area more than or equal to 50ea in the process and is far higher than the particle index (the particle number of particles per unit area is less than 2 ea). In contrast, as can be seen from fig. 6 (a) and (b), white dots on the black area in the graph are significantly reduced, so that it can be seen that suspended particles on a ceramic piece obtained by the ceramic piece cleaning method provided by the embodiment of the present application are significantly reduced, and the number of particles per unit area of the ceramic piece falling on a wafer during the process is lower than the particle index (the number of particles per unit area is <2 ea).
The ceramic part in this embodiment includes, for example, a ceramic process kit for a semiconductor device. The ceramic process kit can be components made of ceramic materials such as a liner, a dielectric window, a nozzle, a screen, main and auxiliary dielectric barrels of a three-dimensional induction coil, a protective barrel of a viewing window, and the like.
