However, the water-soluble polymer having a large inertia radius tends to decrease the stability when the polishing composition is stored as a concentrated liquid. Specifically, the above-mentioned concentrated liquid contains components such as abrasive particles and water-soluble polymers at a higher concentration than during use, so there is a possibility that good stability cannot be obtained because the contained components are separated and aggregated. [0005] The present invention has been made in view of the above circumstances, and an object thereof is to provide a method for manufacturing a composition for rough polishing of a silicon wafer that can combine the advantages of a concentrated liquid with excellent stability and can improve edge slippage. Related other purposes are to provide a set of components for rough polishing of silicon wafers, and to provide a method for polishing silicon wafers. [Means for Solving the Problems] 0006 [0006] According to the present invention, a method for producing a composition for rough polishing of a silicon wafer including abrasive particles, an alkaline compound, and a water-soluble polymer is provided. The manufacturing method includes the steps of preparing a liquid A containing the abrasive particles and the basic compound; and preparing a liquid B containing a water-soluble polymer P1 having an inertial radius of 100 nm or more as the water-soluble polymer; and The step of mixing liquid A and liquid B described above. The polishing composition obtained according to this method can improve edge slippage during polishing of a silicon substrate by containing a water-soluble polymer P1 having a specific radius of inertia or more. In addition, before completion, in other words, the polishing composition before use has multiple dosage forms of liquid A and liquid B, and each liquid has a high concentration (concentrated liquefaction), and can enjoy convenience, cost reduction, and other concentrated liquids. advantage. In addition, since the abrasive particles and the water-soluble polymer P1 are respectively contained in the liquid A and the liquid B, it is possible to avoid a situation in which the dispersion of the water-soluble polymer P1 is hindered by the presence of the abrasive particles. As a result, the state of the polishing composition before completion in the liquids A and B showed excellent stability. Therefore, according to the present invention, the advantages of the concentrated liquid can be enjoyed, and a composition for rough polishing of a silicon wafer having excellent stability and improved edge slippage can be manufactured. [0007] In addition, according to the present invention, a polishing composition set is provided for producing a silicon wafer rough polishing composition including abrasive particles, an alkaline compound, and a water-soluble polymer. The polishing composition set includes a liquid A containing the abrasive particles and the basic compound, and a liquid B containing a water-soluble polymer P1 having an inertia radius of 100 nm or more as the water-soluble polymer. According to this configuration, when the liquid A and the liquid B are respectively used as the concentrated liquid, for example, during storage, the advantages of the concentrated liquid can be enjoyed and the individual stability is excellent. In addition, at the appropriate time, the liquid A and the liquid B are mixed to prepare a polishing composition (polishing slurry), and the edge slippage of the silicon substrate can be improved by using the polishing composition (polishing slurry). The advantages of the concentrated solution are convenience and cost reduction. [0008] In addition, according to the present invention, a method for polishing a silicon wafer including a rough polishing step and a fine polishing step is provided. The polishing method includes a step of preparing a composition for rough polishing used in the rough polishing step before the rough polishing step. In addition, the step of preparing the composition for rough grinding includes: a step of preparing a liquid A containing abrasive particles and a basic compound; and a step of preparing a liquid B containing a water-soluble polymer P1 having an inertia radius of 100 nm or more; and The step of mixing liquid A and liquid B described above. According to this method, the polishing composition before use can be separated into liquid A and liquid B, and it can be a concentrated liquid with excellent stability. In addition, by performing rough polishing using the polishing composition, the edge slippage of the silicon substrate can be improved.

  [0044]   (水)   本文揭示之研磨用組成物典型上包含水。水較好使用離子交換水(去離子水)、純水、超純水、蒸餾水等。為了極力避免阻礙研磨用組成物中所含之其他成分之作用,使用之水較好為例如過渡金屬離子之合計含量為100ppb以下。例如,可藉離子交換樹脂去除雜質離子,藉過濾去除異物,藉蒸餾等操作提高水之純度。又,本文揭示之研磨用組成物亦可視需要進一步含有可與水均勻混合之有機溶劑。上述有機溶劑為低級醇、低級酮等。研磨用組成物中所含之溶劑較好其90體積%以上為水,更好95體積%以上為水。更佳一樣態中,典型上濃縮液中所含之溶劑之99~100體積%為水。又本說明書中,有時使用水系溶劑之用語作為包含上述溶劑及水之總稱。   [0045]   (螯合劑)   本文揭示之研磨用組成物可含有螯合劑作為任意成分。螯合劑藉由與研磨用組成物中可含之金屬雜質形成錯離子並捕捉其,而抑制因金屬雜質所致之研磨對象物之汙染發揮作用。螯合劑之例列舉為胺基羧酸系螯合劑及有機膦酸系螯合劑。胺基羧酸系螯合劑之例包含乙二胺四乙酸、乙二胺四乙酸鈉、氮基三乙酸、氮基三乙酸鈉、氮基三乙酸銨、羥基乙基乙二胺三乙酸、羥基乙基乙二胺三乙酸鈉、二伸乙基三胺五乙酸、二伸乙基三胺五乙酸鈉、三伸乙基四胺六乙酸及三伸乙基四胺六乙酸鈉。有機膦酸系螯合劑之例包含2-胺基乙基膦酸、1-羥基亞乙基-1,1-二膦酸、胺基三(亞甲基膦酸)、乙二胺肆(亞甲基膦酸)、二伸乙基三胺五(亞甲基膦酸)、乙烷-1,1-二膦酸、乙烷-1,1,2-三膦酸、乙烷-1-羥基-1,1-二膦酸、乙烷-1-羥基-1,1,2-三膦酸、乙烷-1,2-二羧基-1,2-二膦酸、甲烷羥基膦酸、2-膦醯基丁烷-1,2-二羧酸、1-膦醯基丁烷-2,3,4-三羧酸及α-甲基膦醯基琥珀酸。該等中以有機膦酸系螯合劑較佳。其中較佳者列舉為乙二胺肆(亞甲基膦酸)、二伸乙基三胺五(亞甲基膦酸)及二伸乙基三胺五乙酸。特佳之螯合劑列舉為乙二胺肆(亞甲基膦酸)及二伸乙基三胺五(亞甲基膦酸)。螯合劑可單獨使用1種或組合2種以上使用。

本文揭示之研磨用組成物較好實質上不含氧化劑。其理由為於研磨用組成物中含氧化劑時,藉由將該研磨漿料供給至研磨對象物(此處為矽基板)而使該研磨對象物表面氧化,生成氧化膜,藉此有使研磨速率降低之情況。本文所稱之氧化劑之具體例舉例為過氧化氫(H2 O2 )、過硫酸鈉、過硫酸銨、二氯異氰脲酸鈉等。又,所謂研磨用組成物實質上不含氧化劑意指至少不刻意含有氧化劑。   [0048]

  [0049] 又,本文揭示之技術中,液狀組成物之pH係藉由使用pH計,使用標準緩衝液,經3點校正後,將玻璃電極放入測定對象的組成物中,測定經過2分鐘以上安定後之值而掌握。上述液狀組成物可為研磨漿料、A液、B液等、其濃縮液等。又,作為pH計係使用例如堀場製作所製造之玻璃電極式氫離子濃度指示計(型號F-23)。再者,標準緩衝液為鄰苯二甲酸鹽pH緩衝液 pH:4.01(25℃),中性磷酸鹽pH緩衝液

基於製造、流通、保存等之便利性等之觀點,A液典型上係以比研磨用組成物更高濃度包含含有成分之形態予以調製。因此,關於A液中之研磨粒含量亦較好高於研磨用組成物之研磨粒含量。具體而言,A液中之研磨粒含量約為1重量%以上,例如10重量%以上為適當,較好為15重量%以上,更好為20重量%以上,又更好為25重量%以上。基於安定性或過濾性等之觀點,A液中之研磨粒含量例如為50重量%以下為適當,較好為45重量%以下。較佳一樣態中,A液中之研磨粒含量例如為40重量%以下,典型上為35重量%以下。

A液之調製方法並未特別限制。例如可使用翼式攪拌機、超音波分散機、均質混合機等之習知混合裝置,混合A液中所含之各成分。混合該等成分之樣態並未特別限制,例如可一次混合全部成分,亦可依適當設定之順序混合。關於後述之B液亦可適當採用同樣混合方法。   [0062]   (B液調製步驟)

較佳一樣態中,基於安定性之觀點,研磨用組成物所含之水溶性高分子P1全量可含於B液中,但本文揭示之技術不限定於此。在不顯著損及本發明效果之範圍內,可為研磨用組成物所含之水溶性高分子P1之一部分含於A液中。具體而言,將研磨用組成物所含之水溶性高分子P1總量設為100重量%時,其中之超過50重量%之量含於B液中為適當,較好研磨用組成物所含之水溶性高分子P1總量之80重量%以上,例如90重量%以上,進而95重量%以上,典型上為99重量%以上含於B液中。   [0065] 較佳一樣態之B液中,含有研磨用組成物所含之鹼性化合物之一部分。藉此,可減低與含鹼性化合物之A液之pH差,可順利混合A液與B液。B液包含鹼性化合物時,作為該鹼性化合物並未特別限定,但較好使用與所混合之A液中所含之鹼性化合物或循環使用時之添加劑中使用之鹼性化合物之至少1種同種者。例如可使用氫氧化鉀或四級銨化合物。上述四級銨化合物為例如TMAH等之氫氧化四烷基銨。   [0066] 又,本文揭示之研磨用組成物包含水溶性高分子P2時,該水溶性高分子P2之全量或一部分可含於B液中。該情況下,B液所含之全部水溶性高分子之慣性半徑可設為未達100nm,但B液包含水溶性高分子P2時,且當然亦於不含時,B液所含之全部水溶性高分子之慣性半徑均較好為100nm以上。更佳一樣態中,B液所含之全部水溶性高分子之慣性半徑為105nm以上,進而較好為120nm以上,特佳為140 nm以上。B液所含之全部水溶性高分子之慣性半徑上限並未特別限定,基於B液之安定性或濃縮效率等之觀點,約為500nm以下為適當,較好為300nm以下,更好為250nm以下,又更好為220nm以下,或約為150nm以下,例如可為120nm以下。   [0067] 本文揭示之技術,可較好地以B液實質上不含研磨粒之樣態實施,但在不顯著損及本發明效果之範圍內,研磨用組成物所含之研磨粒之一部分亦可含於B液中。又,上述B液中,典型上可含有以水為代表之水系溶劑。B液可根據需要進而含有於本文揭示之研磨用組成物中可作為任意成分含有之螯合劑、界面活性劑、有機酸、有機酸鹽、無機酸、無機酸鹽、防腐劑、防黴劑等之添加劑。   [0068] 本文揭示之B液之pH並未特別限定。基於抑制與A液混合時之pH變化之觀點,B液之pH於A液之pH±3以內為適當,較好為±2以內,更好為±1以內。更佳一樣態中,B液之pH為例如±0.5以內。   [0069]   (混合步驟)   其次,混合如上述調製之A液與B液。混合方法並未特別限定,可根據需要使用習知、慣用之混合裝置進行即可。上述混合時點並未特別限定,只要在使用研磨用組成物之前,亦即於使用該研磨用組成物進行研磨前之適當時點使A液與B液混合即可。例如較好在上述混合與使用所得研磨用組成物亦即研磨之間不包含保存等之步驟。自上述混合直至使用研磨用組成物之期間可設為例如2週以內,3日以內為適當。考慮混合後之研磨用組成物中之分散狀態等,較好設為開始使用上述研磨用組成物之研磨的24小時以內,典型上為12小時以內,更好於正要開始研磨之前例如6小時以內,典型上為3小時以內實施上述混合步驟。或者,連續進行A液與B液之混合,同時將所製造之研磨用組成物供給於研磨對象物。   [0070] A液與B液之混合比,係適當設定為使研磨用組成物之組成成為期望範圍。較佳一樣態中,上述混合步驟中,A液:B液以體積基準計為1:1~100:1,例如5:1~70:1,典型上為15:1~50:1之比例混合。   [0071] 較佳一樣態中,上述A液與B液之混合前後,或與該混合之同時使用水等之水系溶劑進行稀釋。藉由以該時點進行稀釋,於研磨用組成物之使用前後,可以A液、B液之狀態,兼具濃縮液之優點與安定性。濃縮液之優點為便利性、成本減低等。又,藉由進行稀釋所得之研磨用組成物可發揮優異之邊緣滑離減低效果。特佳一樣態係A液、B液及稀釋用水系溶劑幾乎同時混合,或連續投入混合。連續混合A液、B液及稀釋用水系溶劑時,添加順序並未特別限定。為了減低混合所致之pH變化之影響,較好採用以稀釋用水系溶劑稀釋A液後,於稀釋之A液中添加B液之樣態。作為稀釋所用之液體,基於處理性、作業性等之觀點,較好使用實質上由水所成之水系溶劑。水典型上為離子交換水。上述水系溶劑係例如99.5~100體積%為水的水系溶劑。又,上述水系溶劑為混合溶劑時,可僅添加該水系溶劑之構成成分中之一部分成分進行稀釋,亦可添加以與上述水系溶劑不同之量比含有該等之構成成分之混合溶劑予以稀釋。   [0072] 上述稀釋用水系溶劑之稀釋倍率,相對於A液及B液之總量,以體積基準計,大於2倍之倍率為適當。藉由以上述倍率稀釋,可自濃縮形態之A液、B液,獲得具有適於研磨之組成的研磨用組成物。依據本文揭示之技術,以A液及B液之總量為基準,較好以體積基準大於10倍之倍率,典型上為15倍以上,例如25倍以上之倍率進行稀釋。上述稀釋倍率之上限並未特別限定,但以體積基準為約100倍以下,例如50倍以下,典型上可為40倍以下。因此,A液與B液之單純混合物本身之組成可與以上述倍率濃縮本文揭示之研磨用組成物之組成對應。具體而言,A液與B液之混合液可為將具有上述說明組成之研磨用組成物以體積基準濃縮為超過2倍之倍率(濃縮倍率)的濃縮液。上述濃縮倍率較好以體積基準計為大於10倍之倍率,典型上為15倍以上,例如可為25倍以上。   [0073] A液、B液、根據需要使用之稀釋用水系溶劑之混合方法並未特別限定。可根據需要使用例如翼式攪拌機、超音波分散機、均質混合機等之習知混合裝置,混合上述液即可。混合上述液之樣態並未特別限制,例如可一次混合A液、B液、稀釋用水系溶劑,亦可依適當設定之順序混合。又,本文揭示之研磨用組成物之製造中,除了A液及B液以外,液可混合含有研磨用組成物所含之成分之一部分的1或2種以上之追加劑(可稱為C液、D液)作為任意構成要素。   [0074]   <研磨用組成物套組>   本文揭示之研磨用組成物套組係用以製造上述研磨用組成物之多劑型研磨用組成物套組,且至少具備上述之A液及B液。A液至少含有研磨粒及鹼性化合物,B液至少含有水溶性高分子P1。較佳一樣態之研磨用組成物套組係由A液與B液所成之2劑型套組。又,A液及B液之細節如上述,故此處不再反覆重複說明。且,本文揭示之研磨用組成物套組除了A液及B液以外,液可混合含有研磨用組成物所含之成分之一部分的1或2種以上之追加劑(可稱為C液、D液)作為任意構成要素之3劑型以上之套組。上述A液、B液及作為任意構成要素之追加劑典型上於研磨用組成物製造之混合步驟之前,係分別保存於不同容器中。   [0075]   (用途)   本文揭示之技術,可較好地適用於以矽基板(尤其是矽晶圓)為研磨對象物之研磨中。本文所稱之矽晶圓之典型例為矽單晶晶圓,例如切割矽單晶錠塊所得之矽單晶晶圓。本文揭示之技術中之研磨對象面典型上為由矽所成之表面。   [0076] 上述矽基板,於使用本文揭示之研磨液之研磨步驟之前,亦可施以磨削或蝕刻等之比粗研磨步驟更上游之步驟中之可對矽基板實施之一般處理。又,本文揭示之技術中,使用上述研磨液之研磨步驟(粗研磨步驟)之後,可對矽基板實施精研磨步驟。上述精研磨包含1或2次以上之拋光步驟,經過最終拋光,將矽晶圓精加工為高品質鏡面。又,最終拋光係指目的物製造製程中之最終拋光步驟。亦即,最終拋光係指該步驟後不再進行拋光之步驟。因此,本文揭示之研磨液、或A液、B液可用於經過磨削之矽晶圓之拋光。且,上述研磨液等可用於矽晶圓之最終拋光前進行之粗研磨中。粗研磨亦稱為預拋光。   [0077]   <研磨>   研磨對象物之研磨可例如以下般進行。亦即,採用本文揭示之製造方法,具體而言,實施A液調製步驟、A液調製步驟及該A液與B液之混合步驟,根據需要進行稀釋,而準備研磨用組成物(研磨漿料)。其次,將該研磨漿料(作用漿料)供給於研磨對象物,藉由常用方法予以研磨。矽晶圓之粗研磨中,典型上將經過研削步驟之研磨對象物(矽晶圓)裝設於研磨裝置,通過固定於該研磨裝置之壓盤(研磨壓盤)之研磨墊,於上述研磨對象物表面(研磨對象面)供給研磨漿料。典型上,邊連續供給上述研磨漿料,邊對研磨對象物表面抵壓研磨墊使兩者相對移動。經過該研磨步驟而完成研磨對象物之研磨。上述移動可為例如旋轉移動。   [0078] 上述研磨步驟使用之研磨墊並無特別限制。例如可使用發泡聚胺基甲酸酯類型、不織布類型、麂皮類型等之研磨墊。各研磨墊可含研磨粒,亦可不含研磨粒。   [0079] 作為研磨裝置可使用同時對磨研磨對象物兩面進行研磨之兩面研磨裝置,亦可使用僅對研磨對象物單面進行研磨之單面研磨裝置。雖未特別限定,但例如粗研磨步驟中,可較好地採用兩面研磨裝置。兩面研磨裝置為例如批式之兩面研磨裝置。研磨裝置可為構成為每次研磨一片研磨對象物之單片式研磨裝置,亦可為於同一壓盤上可同時研磨複數研磨對象物之批式研磨裝置。   [0080] 雖未特別限定,但使用本文揭示之套組製造之研磨用組成物,於其製造後,較好以比較短的時間內使用於研磨。藉此,可更充分地活用將用以製造該研磨用組成物之套組構成為多劑型亦即具備複數劑之構成之優點。研磨用組成物之製造後至使用前之期間可為例如2週以內,設為3日以內為適當,較好設為24小時以內,更好設為12小時以內。上述期間亦可為6小時以內,進而亦可為3小時以內。或者,連續進行使用上述套組之上述研磨用組成物之製造,並且將製造之研磨用組成物供給於研磨對象物。   [0081] 上述研磨用組成物可以一旦研磨使用後即拋棄之樣態之所謂「源源流出」而使用,亦可循環重複使用。作為循環使用研磨用組成物之方法之一例,舉例為將自研磨裝置排出之使用過研磨用組成物回收於槽內,將回收之研磨用組成物再度供給於研磨裝置之方法。循環使用研磨用組成物之情況,相較於源源流出使用之情況,藉由減少作為廢液被處理之使用過之研磨用組成物之量而可減低環境負荷。且,藉由減少研磨用組成物之使用量而可抑制成本。本文揭示之研磨用組成物由於pH維持性優異,故對於此種循環使用之使用樣態係較佳。若為該使用樣態,可特別良好地發揮採用本發明構成之意義。循環使用本文揭示之研磨用組成物時,其使用中之研磨用組成物中,亦可於任意時點添加新的成分、因使用而減少之成分或期望增加之成分。   [0082]   <洗淨>   結束粗研磨步驟之研磨對象物於開始精研磨步驟之前,典型上經洗淨。該洗淨可使用適當洗淨液進行。所使用之洗淨液並未特別限制,可使用例如半導體等領域中之一般SC-1洗淨液、SC-2洗淨液等。SC-1洗淨液係氫氧化銨(NH4 OH)與過氧化氫(H2 O2 )與水(H2 O)之混合液)。SC-2洗淨液係HCl、H2 O2 與H2 O之混合液。洗淨液之溫度可為例如室溫以上、至多約90℃左右之範圍。此處所謂室溫典型上指約15℃ ~25℃。基於提高洗淨效果之觀點,可較好使用50℃~85℃左右之洗淨液。   [0083] 經過如上述之粗研磨步驟、或洗淨步驟、精研磨步驟,而完成研磨對象物之研磨。上述研磨對象物於本文為矽基板,典型上為矽單晶晶圓。因此,依據本說明書,提供包含上述研磨步驟之研磨物之製造方法。上述製造方法具體而言為矽晶圓之製造方法。   [0084] 以上,依據本實施形態,提供製造包含研磨粒、鹼性化合物及水溶性高分子之矽晶圓粗研磨用組成物之方法。該製造方法包含:調製包含前述研磨粒及前述鹼性化合物之A液之步驟;及調製包含慣性半徑為100nm以上之水溶性高分子P1作為前述水溶性高分子之B液之步驟;及使前述A液與前述B液混合之步驟。藉由該方法所得之研磨用組成物藉由含有具有特定以上之慣性半徑之水溶性高分子P1,而可改善矽基板研磨中之邊緣滑離。且,完成前,換言之,使用前之研磨用組成物為具有A液及B液之多劑型,藉由使各液高濃度化(濃縮液化),而可享受便利性、成本減低等之濃縮液之優點。且由於研磨粒、水溶性高分子P1分別收容於A液、B液中,故可避免因研磨粒之存在而阻礙水溶性高分子P1分散之情況。其結果,完成前之研磨用組成物以A液、B液之狀態顯示優異安定性。因此,依據本發明,可享受濃縮液之優點,同時可製造安定性優異且得以改善邊緣滑離之矽晶圓粗研磨用組成物。   [0085] 本文揭示之技術之較佳一樣態包含使前述A液、前述B液、及該A液與該B液之混合液之至少一種稀釋之步驟。又,前述稀釋步驟之稀釋倍率,以相對於前述A液及前述B液之總量之體積基準,係大於10倍之倍率。藉由採用此等方法,完成前之研磨用組成物可兼具濃縮液之優點與安定性,使用時作成將A液與B液混合而得之研磨用組成物,可發揮邊緣滑離減低效果。濃縮液之優點為便利性、成本減低等。上述稀釋步驟可在A液與B液混合之步驟前、與該混合步驟同時、或於該混合步驟之後實施。又,本文揭示之技術,於本說明書中,包含矽晶圓粗研磨用組成物之製造方法、矽晶圓粗研磨用組成物套組、矽晶圓之研磨方法等。   [0086] 本文揭示之技術之較佳一樣態係前述B液所含之水溶性高分子之慣性半徑為100nm以上。調製該B液後,根據需要予以保存,接著於研磨用組成物之使用時藉由與A液混合,可較好地發揮本發明揭示技術之效果。   [0087] 本文揭示之技術之較佳一樣態係前述A液中之前述研磨粒含量為10重量%以上。使用以特定以上濃度含有研磨粒之A液之樣態中,可較好地發揮本發明揭示技術之效果。   [0088] 本文揭示之技術之較佳一樣態係前述B液中之前述水溶性高分子P1含量為0.01重量%以上。使用以特定以上濃度含有水溶性高分子P1之B液之樣態中,可較好地發揮本發明揭示技術之效果。   [0089] 又,依據本實施形態,提供用以製造包含研磨粒、鹼性化合物及水溶性高分子之矽晶圓粗研磨用組成物之研磨用組成物套組。該研磨用組成物套組具備:包含前述研磨粒及前述鹼性化合物之A液,及包含慣性半徑為100nm以上之水溶性高分子P1作為前述水溶性高分子之B液。藉由該構成,使用前例如保存時A液及B液分別設為濃縮液時,可享受濃縮液之優點,同時個別之安定性優異。因此,於適當時點混合A液及B液,作成研磨用組成物(研磨漿料),藉由使用其,可改善係基板之邊緣滑離。濃縮液之優點為便利性、成本減低等。   [0090] 又,依據本實施形態,提供包含粗研磨步驟及精研磨步驟的矽晶圓之研磨方法。該研磨方法於前述粗研磨步驟之前,包含調製該粗研磨步驟中使用之粗研磨用組成物之步驟。又,調製前述粗研磨用組成物之步驟包含:調製包含研磨粒及鹼性化合物之A液之步驟;及調製包含慣性半徑為100nm以上之水溶性高分子P1之B液之步驟;及使前述A液與前述B液混合之步驟。依據該方法,使用前之研磨用組成物以分離為A液與B液之狀態,可成為安定性優異之濃縮液。且,藉由使用該研磨用組成物實施粗研磨,可改善係基板之邊緣滑離。   [0091] 本文揭示之技術之典型一樣態中,前述粗研磨用組成物使用於經過研削之矽晶圓之拋光。更具體而言,上述粗研磨用組成物使用於矽晶圓之最終拋光前所進行之粗研磨(預拋光)中。   [實施例]   [0092] 以下,說明本發明有關之數個實施例,但並非意圖將本發明限制於該實施例所示者。又,以下說明中之「%」只要未特別說明,則為重量基準。   [0093]   <實施例1>

且,藉由使水溶性高分子P1(HEC)、TMAH及離子交換水混合,而調製含有水溶性高分子P1及TMAH分別為0.25%及0.018%之濃度之B液。B液之pH為11.0。   所得之A液及B液以離子交換水稀釋混合,獲得本例之研磨液(作用漿料)。上述混合係以A液;B液:離子交換水以體積基準成為3.3:0.1:96.6之比率進行。   [0094]   <實施例2~3、比較例1>   除了使用慣性半徑不同之HEC作為水溶性高分子P1以外,與實施例1同樣調製A液及B液,獲得本例之研磨液(作用漿料)。   [0095]   <實施例4>   除了不使用水溶性高分子P2以外,與實施例3同樣調製A液及B液,獲得本例之研磨液(作用漿料)。   [0096]   <實施例5>   將作為研磨粒之膠體氧化矽(平均一次粒徑55nm)、TMAH、K2 CO3

所得濃縮液以離子交換水稀釋混合,獲得本例之研磨液(作用漿料)。上述稀釋係以濃縮液;離子交換水以體積基準成為3.3:96.7之比率進行。   [0099]   <比較例6>   除了不使用水溶性高分子P2以外,與比較例5同樣獲得本例之研磨液(作用漿料)。   [0100]   [慣性半徑之測定方法]   水溶性高分子之慣性半徑之測定係首先以使水溶性高分子濃度成為0.1~1mg/mL之範圍之方式調製水溶液,針對所調製之各樣品使用光散射光度計「DLS-8000」(大塚電子公司製),以測定角度20~150度之範圍每10度進行測定,藉由1濃法作圖解析進行慣性半徑[nm]之計算。測定係針對水溶性高分子P1與B液中所含之水溶性高分子實施。B液中含複數種水溶性高分子時,以成為其濃度比之方式調節水溶性高分子進行測定。測定結果示於表1。   [0101]   [安定性]   將實施例1~6、比較例1調製之A液及B液分別為100g放入直徑2.5cm、高25cm之玻璃管中,分別於25℃靜置保存。且,比較例2~6之濃縮液以與上述同樣條件保存。藉由目視以下述2基準評價自保存開始後經過24小時後之A液、B液、濃縮液之狀態。亦即,未見到液中成分之分離或凝集時評價為「A」,見到分離或凝集時評價為「B」。結果示於表1。   [0102]

Specifically, the content of abrasive particles in the liquid A is about 1% by weight or more, for example, 10% by weight or more is appropriate, preferably 15% by weight or more, more preferably 20% by weight or more, and even more preferably 25% by weight or more. . From the viewpoints of stability, filterability, etc., the content of the abrasive particles in the liquid A is, for example, 50% by weight or less, and preferably 45% by weight or less. In a preferable aspect, the content of the abrasive particles in the liquid A is, for example, 40% by weight or less, and typically 35% by weight or less. [0053] In a preferred embodiment, from the viewpoint of stability, the entire amount of abrasive particles contained in the polishing composition is contained in the liquid A, but the technology disclosed herein is not limited thereto. As long as the effect of the present invention is not significantly impaired, part of the abrasive grains contained in the polishing composition may be contained in the A liquid. Specifically, when the total amount of the abrasive particles contained in the polishing composition is 100% by weight, it is appropriate that the amount of more than 50% by weight is contained in the liquid A. The total amount of the abrasive particles contained in the polishing composition is preferred. 80% by weight or more, for example, 90% by weight or more, and 95% by weight or more, typically 99% to 100% by weight are contained in the liquid A. [0054] The basic compounds contained in the liquid A can be used in the same manner as in the case of the abrasive grains. One or two or more of the various basic compounds exemplified as the basic compounds contained in the polishing composition can be used. It is preferred to use a quaternary ammonium compound, a weak base salt, or both. When the combination of the quaternary ammonium compound and the weak base salt in the liquid B is used as the basic compound, the mixing ratio of the quaternary ammonium compound and the weak base salt in the liquid B is not particularly limited. : 9 ~ 9: 1 is appropriate, preferably 3: 7 ~ 8: 2, more preferably 5: 5 ~ 7: 3. The quaternary ammonium compound is tetraalkylammonium hydroxide such as TMAH. The weak base salt is, for example, K2 CO3 The anionic component is a weak acid salt of a carbonate ion. [0055] The content (concentration) of the basic compound in the liquid A is, for example, 0.1% by weight or more, typically 0.5% by weight or more, more preferably 1% by weight or more, and more preferably from the viewpoint of improving the polishing rate. 1.5% by weight or more, and more preferably 2.0% by weight or more. In a more preferred embodiment, the content of the basic compound in the liquid A is, for example, 2.5% by weight or more. For example, when liquid A is used at a high dilution rate, the concentration of the abrasive particles after dilution is relatively low, and the processing power of the abrasive particles may also decrease. In these cases, the chemical milling after dilution can be enhanced by increasing the alkaline compound in the A-phase. The upper limit of the content of the basic compound in the liquid A is from the viewpoint of storage stability, surface quality, and the like, and is preferably 10% by weight or less, and preferably 5% by weight or less. In a preferred embodiment, the content of the basic compound in the liquid A is, for example, 3% by weight or less. [0056] In addition, the content of the basic compound in liquid A can also be specified based on the relative relationship with the abrasive particles contained in liquid A. Specifically, the content of the basic compound in the liquid A is preferably 0.1 part by weight or more relative to 100 parts by weight of the abrasive grains. From the viewpoint of improving the polishing rate, it is preferably 1 part by weight or more, and more preferably 3 parts by weight. The above is more preferably 6 parts by weight or more. From the viewpoints of stability and surface quality, the content of the basic compound is preferably 50 parts by weight or less, preferably 30 parts by weight or less, more preferably 15 parts by weight or less, based on 100 parts by weight of the abrasive grains. It is more preferably 12 parts by weight or less. [0057] In the technology disclosed herein, the entire amount of the basic compound contained in the polishing composition may be contained in the A solution, or a part thereof may be contained in the A solution. Specifically, when the total amount of basic compounds contained in the polishing composition is 100% by weight, it is appropriate that the amount of more than 50% by weight is contained in the A liquid. The basicity contained in the polishing composition is preferred. 80% by weight or more of the total amount of the compound, such as 90% by weight or more, and 95% by weight or more, typically 99% to 100% by weight are contained in the liquid A. From the viewpoint of reducing the pH difference with the B solution when mixed with the B solution described later, it is preferred to use a part of the basic compound contained in the polishing composition to be contained in the A solution, and the remaining part to be contained in the B solution described later. According to this aspect, when the total amount of the basic compounds contained in the liquid A is 100% by weight, the amount of the basic compounds contained in the polishing composition may be 99.999% by weight or less, for example, 99.99% by weight or less. It is typically about 99.9% by weight. [0058] When the polishing composition disclosed herein contains the water-soluble polymer P2, the water-soluble polymer P2 is preferably contained in the A liquid in the production of the polishing composition. This tends to improve the dispersion stability of the abrasive particles. As the water-soluble polymer P2 that can be contained in the liquid A, one or two or more kinds of various water-soluble polymers P2 exemplified as the water-soluble polymer P2 that can be contained in the polishing composition can be used. When the liquid A contains the water-soluble polymer P2, the content (concentration) of the water-soluble polymer P2 in the liquid A is set to 1 × 10 based on the viewpoint that the additive effect of the water-soluble polymer P2 can be sufficiently obtained.-4 A weight% or more is appropriate, and preferably 1 × 10-3 More than% by weight. In a preferred state, the content of the water-soluble polymer P2 in the liquid A is, for example, 3 × 10-3 More than% by weight. The upper limit of the content of the water-soluble polymer P2 in the liquid A is not particularly limited, and may be, for example, 1 × 10-1 Weight% or less, typically set to 1 × 10-2 The weight% or less is appropriate. When the polishing composition includes the water-soluble polymer P2, the entire amount of the water-soluble polymer P2 contained in the polishing composition may be contained in the A liquid, or a part of the water-soluble polymer P2 may be contained in the A liquid, and the remaining portion may be contained in the B liquid. In the liquid, the entire amount may be contained in the B liquid. [0059] The technology disclosed herein can be better implemented in a state where the liquid A does not substantially contain the water-soluble polymer P1, but the water-solubility contained in the polishing composition is within a range not significantly impairing the effect of the present invention A part of the polymer P1 may be contained in the A liquid. The A liquid may typically contain an aqueous solvent typified by water. Liquid A may be further contained in the polishing composition disclosed herein as a chelating agent, a surfactant, an organic acid, an organic acid salt, an inorganic acid, an inorganic acid salt, a preservative, a mold inhibitor, etc. Of additives. [0060] The pH of the A liquid disclosed herein is typically 8.0 or higher, preferably 8.5 or higher, more preferably 9.0 or higher, and even more preferably 9.5 or higher, such as 10.0 or higher, particularly preferably 10.5 or higher. If the pH of liquid A is high, the polishing performance tends to be improved. On the other hand, from the viewpoint of not hindering the dissolution of the abrasive grains and suppressing the reduction of the mechanical polishing action of the abrasive grains, the pH of the A liquid is preferably 12.0 or less, preferably 11.8 or less, and more preferably 11.5 or less. The abrasive particles are, for example, silica particles. [0061] The method for preparing A liquid is not particularly limited. For example, a conventional mixing device such as a wing mixer, an ultrasonic disperser, and a homomixer can be used to mix the components contained in the liquid A. The form of mixing these components is not particularly limited, and for example, all the components may be mixed at a time, or they may be mixed in an appropriately set order. The same mixing method can also be suitably used for the liquid B mentioned later. [0062] (B liquid preparation step) 液 The B liquid used in the manufacture of the polishing composition disclosed herein contains a water-soluble polymer P1 having an inertia radius of 100 nm or more. As the water-soluble polymer P1 contained in the liquid B, one or two or more kinds of various water-soluble polymers exemplified as the water-soluble polymer P1 that can be contained in the polishing composition can be used. [0063] Liquid B is similar to liquid A in that it is typically prepared in a form that contains a higher concentration than the polishing composition from the viewpoint of convenience in manufacturing, distribution, and storage. Therefore, the content of the water-soluble polymer P1 in the liquid B is also preferably higher than the content of the water-soluble polymer P1 in the polishing composition. Specifically, the content of the water-soluble polymer P1 in the liquid B is about 0.01% by weight or more, for example, 0.02% by weight or more is appropriate, and preferably 0.05% by weight or more. In a preferred embodiment, the content of the water-soluble polymer P1 in the liquid B is, for example, 0.1% by weight or more. From the viewpoints of stability, filterability, etc., the content of the water-soluble polymer P1 in the liquid B is preferably 10% by weight or less, and preferably 3% by weight or less. In a preferred embodiment, the content of the water-soluble polymer P1 in the liquid B is, for example, 1% by weight or less, and typically 0.55% by weight or less. [0064] In a preferred embodiment, from the viewpoint of stability, the entire amount of the water-soluble polymer P1 contained in the polishing composition may be contained in the liquid B, but the technology disclosed herein is not limited thereto. As long as it does not significantly impair the effect of the present invention, a part of the water-soluble polymer P1 contained in the polishing composition may be contained in the A liquid. Specifically, when the total amount of the water-soluble polymer P1 contained in the polishing composition is 100% by weight, it is appropriate that the amount of more than 50% by weight is contained in the B liquid, and the polishing composition is preferably included. 80% by weight or more of the total amount of the water-soluble polymer P1, for example, 90% by weight or more, and 95% by weight or more, and typically 99% by weight or more are contained in the B liquid. [0065] The liquid B, which is preferably in the same state, contains a part of the basic compound contained in the polishing composition. Thereby, the pH difference between the liquid A and the liquid A containing a basic compound can be reduced, and the liquid A and the liquid B can be smoothly mixed. When the liquid B contains a basic compound, the basic compound is not particularly limited, but it is preferable to use at least one of the basic compound contained in the mixed liquid A or the basic compound used in the additive at the time of recycling. The same species. For example, potassium hydroxide or a quaternary ammonium compound can be used. The quaternary ammonium compound is, for example, tetraalkylammonium hydroxide such as TMAH. [0066] When the polishing composition disclosed herein includes a water-soluble polymer P2, all or part of the water-soluble polymer P2 may be contained in the B liquid. In this case, the inertia radius of all water-soluble polymers contained in liquid B can be set to less than 100 nm. The inertia radius of the polymer is preferably 100 nm or more. In a more preferable state, the inertia radius of all water-soluble polymers contained in the liquid B is 105 nm or more, more preferably 120 nm or more, and particularly preferably 140 nm or more. The upper limit of the radius of inertia of all water-soluble polymers contained in the B liquid is not particularly limited. From the viewpoint of the stability or concentration efficiency of the B liquid, it is appropriate to be about 500 nm or less, preferably 300 nm or less, more preferably 250 nm or less. , And more preferably 220 nm or less, or about 150 nm or less, for example, 120 nm or less. [0067] The technology disclosed herein can be better implemented in a state that the B liquid does not substantially contain abrasive particles, but within a range that does not significantly impair the effect of the present invention, a part of the abrasive particles contained in the polishing composition Can also be contained in the B solution. The B liquid may typically contain an aqueous solvent typified by water. Liquid B may be further contained in the polishing composition disclosed herein as a chelating agent, a surfactant, an organic acid, an organic acid salt, an inorganic acid, an inorganic acid salt, a preservative, a mold inhibitor, etc. Of additives. [0068] The pH of the liquid B disclosed herein is not particularly limited. From the viewpoint of suppressing the change in pH when mixed with the A liquid, the pH of the B liquid is preferably within ± 3 of the pH of the A liquid, preferably within ± 2, and more preferably within ± 1. In a more preferable state, the pH of the liquid B is, for example, within ± 0.5. [0069] (mixing step) (2) Second, A liquid and B liquid prepared as described above are mixed. The mixing method is not particularly limited, and may be performed using a conventional or conventional mixing device as required. The mixing point is not particularly limited, as long as the A liquid and the B liquid are mixed at an appropriate time before the polishing composition is used, that is, before the polishing composition is used for polishing. For example, it is preferable not to include a step such as storage between the above mixing and use of the obtained polishing composition, that is, polishing. The period from the above mixing to the use of the polishing composition can be, for example, within 2 weeks and within 3 days. In consideration of the dispersion state of the polishing composition after mixing, it is preferably within 24 hours, typically within 12 hours, of starting polishing using the above-mentioned polishing composition, and more preferably, for example, 6 hours before the polishing is started. The above mixing step is typically performed within 3 hours. Alternatively, while continuously mixing the A liquid and the B liquid, the manufactured polishing composition is supplied to the object to be polished. [0070] The mixing ratio of the A liquid and the B liquid is appropriately set so that the composition of the polishing composition is within a desired range. In a preferred state, in the above mixing step, the A liquid and the B liquid are 1: 1 to 100: 1 on a volume basis, such as 5: 1 to 70: 1, and typically a ratio of 15: 1 to 50: 1 mixing. [0071] In a preferred embodiment, the liquid A and the liquid B are diluted before and after the mixing of the A liquid and the B liquid, or at the same time as the mixing. By diluting at this point, before and after the polishing composition is used, it can be in the state of liquid A and liquid B, and has the advantages and stability of concentrated liquid. The advantages of the concentrated solution are convenience and cost reduction. Moreover, the polishing composition obtained by diluting can exhibit an excellent edge slip reduction effect. The particularly good homogeneous system A liquid, B liquid and dilution water-based solvent are mixed almost simultaneously, or continuously mixed. When the A liquid, the B liquid, and the dilution water-based solvent are continuously mixed, the order of addition is not particularly limited. In order to reduce the effect of pH change caused by mixing, it is preferable to use the state in which the liquid A is diluted with a water-based solvent for dilution, and the liquid B is added to the diluted liquid A. As the liquid used for the dilution, from the viewpoints of handleability, workability, and the like, it is preferable to use an aqueous solvent substantially composed of water. Water is typically ion-exchanged water. The aqueous solvent is, for example, an aqueous solvent in which 99.5 to 100% by volume is water. When the water-based solvent is a mixed solvent, only a part of the constituents of the water-based solvent may be added for dilution, or a mixed solvent containing such constituents in an amount ratio different from that of the water-based solvent may be added for dilution. [0072] The dilution ratio of the above-mentioned dilution water-based solvent is appropriate on a volume basis with respect to the total amount of the liquids A and B, which is more than 2 times. By diluting at the above-mentioned ratio, it is possible to obtain a polishing composition having a composition suitable for polishing from the concentrated liquids A and B. According to the technology disclosed herein, dilution is performed based on the total amount of liquid A and liquid B, preferably on a volume basis greater than 10 times, typically 15 times or more, such as 25 times or more. The upper limit of the dilution ratio is not particularly limited, but it is about 100 times or less on a volume basis, for example, 50 times or less, and typically 40 times or less. Therefore, the composition of the simple mixture of liquid A and liquid B may correspond to the composition of the polishing composition disclosed herein that is concentrated at the above-mentioned ratio. Specifically, the mixed liquid of liquid A and liquid B may be a concentrated liquid in which the polishing composition having the composition described above is concentrated on a volume basis to a factor (concentration ratio) of more than 2 times. The above-mentioned concentration magnification is preferably a magnification greater than 10 times on a volume basis, typically 15 times or more, and for example, 25 times or more. [0073] A mixing method of the A liquid, the B liquid, and a diluting water-based solvent used as necessary is not particularly limited. If necessary, a conventional mixing device such as a wing mixer, an ultrasonic disperser, a homomixer, and the like can be used to mix the above liquids. The state of mixing the above-mentioned liquids is not particularly limited. For example, the liquids A, B, and a water-based solvent for dilution can be mixed at one time, or they can be mixed in an appropriately set order. In addition, in the production of the polishing composition disclosed herein, in addition to liquids A and B, the liquid may be mixed with one or two or more additives (which may be referred to as liquid C) containing a part of the components contained in the polishing composition. , D liquid) as arbitrary constituent elements. [0074] <Grinding composition kit> 研磨 The polishing composition kit disclosed herein is a multi-dose polishing composition kit for manufacturing the above-mentioned polishing composition, and includes at least the above-mentioned liquids A and B. Liquid A contains at least abrasive particles and basic compounds, and liquid B contains at least water-soluble polymer P1. The preferred uniform composition set for polishing is a two-component set composed of liquid A and liquid B. In addition, the details of the A liquid and the B liquid are as described above, so the repeated description will not be repeated here. In addition, in the polishing composition set disclosed herein, in addition to liquids A and B, the liquid may be mixed with one or two or more additives (which may be referred to as liquids C and D) containing a part of the components contained in the polishing composition. Liquid) as a set of 3 or more dosage forms as arbitrary constituent elements. The above-mentioned liquids A and B and the additives as optional constituents are typically stored in different containers before the mixing step for producing the polishing composition. [0075] (Usage) The technology disclosed herein can be applied to polishing with silicon substrates (especially silicon wafers) as polishing objects. A typical example of a silicon wafer referred to herein is a silicon single crystal wafer, such as a silicon single crystal wafer obtained by cutting a silicon single crystal ingot. The polishing target surface in the technology disclosed herein is typically a surface made of silicon. [0076] Prior to the polishing step using the polishing liquid disclosed herein, the above-mentioned silicon substrate may also be subjected to general processing that can be performed on the silicon substrate in a step upstream of the rough polishing step such as grinding or etching. In addition, in the technology disclosed herein, after the polishing step (rough polishing step) using the above-mentioned polishing liquid, a fine polishing step may be performed on the silicon substrate. The above-mentioned fine grinding includes one or more polishing steps. After the final polishing, the silicon wafer is finished into a high-quality mirror surface. The final polishing refers to the final polishing step in the manufacturing process of the object. That is, the final polishing refers to a step in which polishing is not performed after this step. Therefore, the polishing liquids disclosed in this article, or liquids A and B, can be used for polishing silicon wafers after grinding. In addition, the above-mentioned polishing liquid and the like can be used for rough polishing before final polishing of a silicon wafer. Rough grinding is also called pre-polishing. [0077] <Polishing> 研磨 The polishing of the object to be polished can be performed, for example, as follows. That is, using the manufacturing method disclosed herein, specifically, implementing the A liquid preparation step, the A liquid preparation step, and the A liquid and B liquid mixing steps, and diluting as necessary to prepare a polishing composition (polishing slurry) ). Next, this polishing slurry (action slurry) is supplied to an object to be polished, and is polished by a usual method. In the rough polishing of silicon wafers, the grinding object (silicon wafer) that has undergone the grinding step is typically installed in a polishing device. A polishing slurry is supplied to the surface of the object (surface to be polished). Typically, while the polishing slurry is continuously supplied, the polishing pad is pressed against the surface of the object to be polished to move the two relative to each other. After the polishing step, polishing of the object to be polished is completed. The above-mentioned movement may be, for example, a rotational movement. [0078] The polishing pad used in the above-mentioned polishing step is not particularly limited. For example, a polishing pad of foamed polyurethane type, non-woven type, suede type, or the like can be used. Each polishing pad may or may not contain abrasive particles. [0079] As the polishing device, a two-side polishing device that simultaneously grinds both sides of the object to be polished may be used, or a single-sided polishing device that only polishes one side of the object to be polished may be used. Although not particularly limited, for example, in the rough grinding step, a double-sided grinding device can be preferably used. The double-sided polishing device is, for example, a batch-type double-sided polishing device. The grinding device may be a single-piece grinding device configured to grind one grinding object at a time, or a batch grinding device capable of simultaneously grinding multiple grinding objects on the same platen. [0080] Although not particularly limited, the polishing composition manufactured using the kit disclosed herein is preferably used for polishing in a relatively short time after its manufacture. Thereby, it is possible to make full use of the advantage that the set for manufacturing the polishing composition is configured into a multi-dose form, that is, it has a composition of multiple agents. The period from the manufacture of the polishing composition to the period before use can be, for example, within 2 weeks, and within 3 days is appropriate, preferably within 24 hours, and more preferably within 12 hours. The above period may be within 6 hours, and may be within 3 hours. Alternatively, production of the polishing composition using the kit described above is continuously performed, and the manufactured polishing composition is supplied to an object to be polished. [0081] The above-mentioned polishing composition can be used in a so-called "source outflow" state which is discarded once it is ground and used, and can also be recycled and reused. As an example of a method for recycling the polishing composition, for example, a method of recovering the used polishing composition discharged from the polishing device in a tank, and supplying the recovered polishing composition to the polishing device again. In the case of recycling the polishing composition, the environmental load can be reduced by reducing the amount of the used polishing composition to be treated as a waste liquid, compared to the case of using the source. In addition, cost can be suppressed by reducing the amount of the polishing composition used. Since the polishing composition disclosed herein has excellent pH maintenance, it is preferable to use it in such a cycle. In this use case, the significance of adopting the constitution of the present invention can be exerted particularly well. When the polishing composition disclosed herein is cyclically used, new components, components that are reduced due to use, or components that are expected to increase may be added to the polishing composition in use at any time. [0082] <Washing> 典型 The grinding target which has finished the rough grinding step is typically washed before the fine grinding step is started. This washing | cleaning can be performed using an appropriate washing | cleaning liquid. The cleaning liquid used is not particularly limited, and for example, general SC-1 cleaning liquid, SC-2 cleaning liquid, etc. in the field of semiconductors and the like can be used. SC-1 washing liquid system ammonium hydroxide (NH4 OH) and hydrogen peroxide (H2 O2 ) And water (H2 O) of the mixture). SC-2 washing liquid system HCl, H2 O2 With H2 O of mixed solution. The temperature of the cleaning liquid may be, for example, a range of room temperature or higher and at most about 90 ° C. The so-called room temperature here typically refers to about 15 ° C to 25 ° C. From the viewpoint of improving the cleaning effect, a cleaning solution of about 50 ° C to 85 ° C can be preferably used. [0083] After the rough grinding step, the washing step, and the fine grinding step as described above, the grinding of the object to be polished is completed. The above-mentioned object to be polished is a silicon substrate, and is typically a silicon single crystal wafer. Therefore, according to this specification, a method for manufacturing an abrasive including the above-mentioned polishing step is provided. The above-mentioned manufacturing method is specifically a manufacturing method of a silicon wafer. [0084] Above, according to this embodiment, a method for manufacturing a composition for rough polishing of a silicon wafer including abrasive particles, an alkaline compound, and a water-soluble polymer is provided. The manufacturing method includes the steps of preparing a liquid A containing the abrasive particles and the basic compound; and preparing a liquid B containing a water-soluble polymer P1 having an inertial radius of 100 nm or more as the water-soluble polymer; and The step of mixing liquid A and liquid B described above. The polishing composition obtained by this method can improve edge slippage during polishing of a silicon substrate by containing a water-soluble polymer P1 having a specific inertia radius or more. In addition, before completion, in other words, the polishing composition before use is a multi-dose form with liquids A and B. By increasing the concentration of each liquid (concentrated liquefaction), it is possible to enjoy convenience, cost reduction and other concentrated liquids Advantages. In addition, since the abrasive particles and the water-soluble polymer P1 are respectively contained in the liquid A and the liquid B, the situation that the water-soluble polymer P1 is prevented from being dispersed due to the presence of the abrasive particles can be avoided. As a result, the polishing composition before completion showed excellent stability in the state of liquid A or liquid B. Therefore, according to the present invention, the advantages of the concentrated liquid can be enjoyed, and at the same time, a silicon wafer rough polishing composition having excellent stability and improved edge slippage can be manufactured. [0085] A preferred aspect of the technology disclosed herein includes the step of diluting at least one of the aforementioned A liquid, the aforementioned B liquid, and a mixed liquid of the A liquid and the B liquid. In addition, the dilution ratio in the aforementioned dilution step is greater than 10 times based on the volume basis of the total amount of the A liquid and the B liquid. By adopting these methods, the polishing composition before completion can have both the advantages and stability of a concentrated liquid. When used, a polishing composition obtained by mixing liquid A and liquid B can be used to achieve the effect of reducing edge slippage. . The advantages of the concentrated solution are convenience and cost reduction. The above-mentioned dilution step may be performed before the step of mixing the A liquid and the B liquid, simultaneously with the mixing step, or after the mixing step. In addition, the technology disclosed in this document includes a method for manufacturing a composition for rough polishing of a silicon wafer, a set of a composition for rough polishing of a silicon wafer, a method for polishing a silicon wafer, and the like. [0086] A preferred aspect of the technology disclosed herein is that the radius of inertia of the water-soluble polymer contained in the aforementioned B liquid is 100 nm or more. After the B liquid is prepared, it is stored as needed, and then it is mixed with the A liquid when the polishing composition is used, so that the effects of the disclosed technology of the present invention can be better exerted. [0087] A preferred aspect of the technology disclosed herein is that the content of the abrasive particles in the A solution is 10% by weight or more. When the liquid A containing abrasive grains at a specific concentration or more is used, the effect of the disclosed technology of the present invention can be better exerted. [0088] A preferred aspect of the technology disclosed herein is that the aforementioned water-soluble polymer P1 content in the aforementioned B solution is 0.01% by weight or more. When the liquid B containing the water-soluble polymer P1 at a specific concentration or more is used, the effects of the disclosed technology of the present invention can be better exerted. [0089] In addition, according to this embodiment, a polishing composition set for manufacturing a silicon wafer rough polishing composition including abrasive particles, an alkaline compound, and a water-soluble polymer is provided. The polishing composition set includes a liquid A containing the abrasive particles and the basic compound, and a liquid B containing a water-soluble polymer P1 having an inertia radius of 100 nm or more as the water-soluble polymer. With this configuration, when liquids A and B are respectively used as concentrated liquids before storage, the advantages of the concentrated liquids can be enjoyed, and individual stability is excellent. Therefore, the A liquid and the B liquid are mixed at an appropriate point to prepare a polishing composition (polishing slurry). By using this, the edge slip of the substrate can be improved. The advantages of the concentrated solution are convenience and cost reduction. [0090] According to this embodiment, a method for polishing a silicon wafer including a rough polishing step and a fine polishing step is provided. The polishing method includes a step of preparing a composition for rough polishing used in the rough polishing step before the rough polishing step. In addition, the step of preparing the composition for rough grinding includes: a step of preparing a liquid A containing abrasive particles and a basic compound; and a step of preparing a liquid B containing a water-soluble polymer P1 having an inertia radius of 100 nm or more; and The step of mixing liquid A and liquid B described above. According to this method, the polishing composition before use can be separated into A liquid and B liquid, and it can be a concentrated liquid with excellent stability. In addition, by performing rough polishing using the polishing composition, it is possible to improve edge slippage of the substrate. [0091] In a typical aspect of the technology disclosed herein, the aforementioned rough polishing composition is used for polishing a silicon wafer after grinding. More specifically, the above-mentioned composition for rough polishing is used for rough polishing (pre-polishing) performed before final polishing of a silicon wafer.

The pH of solution A was 11.2. In addition, the water-soluble polymer P1 (HEC) and the water-soluble polymer P2 (PVP, Mw 4.5 × 10)4 ), TMAH and ion-exchanged water are mixed to prepare a liquid B containing water-soluble polymer P1, water-soluble polymer P2 and TMAH at concentrations of 0.25%, 0.28% and 0.018%, respectively. The pH of solution B was 11.0. A polishing liquid (acting slurry) of this example was obtained in the same manner as in Example 1 except that the obtained liquids A and B were used. 〈〈 Example 6 〉〉 In Example 3, except that TMAH contained in the B liquid was changed from 0.018% to potassium hydroxide (KOH) 0.011%, the polishing liquid (working slurry) of this example was obtained in the same manner as in Example 3. ). [0098] <Comparative Examples 2 to 5> Colloidal silica (average primary particle size 55 nm), water-soluble polymer P1 (HEC), TMAH, K as abrasive particles2 CO3 、 Water-soluble polymer P2 (PVP, Mw 4.5 × 104 ) Was mixed with ion-exchanged water to prepare a concentrated solution (1 dosage form) of the polishing composition of Comparative Examples 2 to 5, respectively.

The obtained concentrated liquid was diluted and mixed with ion-exchanged water to obtain a polishing liquid (acting slurry) of this example. The above dilution was performed with a concentrated solution; ion-exchanged water was performed at a ratio of 3.3: 96.7 on a volume basis. [0099] <Comparative Example 6> A polishing liquid (acting slurry) of this example was obtained in the same manner as in Comparative Example 5 except that the water-soluble polymer P2 was not used. [0100] [Measurement method of the radius of inertia] 测定 The measurement of the radius of inertia of the water-soluble polymer is to first prepare an aqueous solution so that the concentration of the water-soluble polymer is in the range of 0.1 to 1 mg / mL, and use light scattering for each sample prepared. The photometer "DLS-8000" (manufactured by Otsuka Electronics Co., Ltd.) measures every 10 degrees in a range of 20 to 150 degrees from the measurement angle, and calculates the radius of inertia [nm] by 1-concentration mapping analysis. The measurement is performed on water-soluble polymers contained in the water-soluble polymers P1 and B. When a plurality of water-soluble polymers are contained in the liquid B, the water-soluble polymers are adjusted so as to have a concentration ratio and measured. The measurement results are shown in Table 1. [0101] [Stability] Liquids A and B prepared in Examples 1 to 6 and Comparative Example 1 were placed in glass tubes having a diameter of 2.5 cm and a height of 25 cm, respectively, and stored at 25 ° C. The concentrated liquids of Comparative Examples 2 to 6 were stored under the same conditions as described above. The states of the A liquid, the B liquid, and the concentrated liquid after the lapse of 24 hours from the start of storage were evaluated visually on the following two criteria. That is, when separation or agglutination of components in the liquid was not seen, it was evaluated as "A", and when separation or agglutination was seen, it was evaluated as "B". The results are shown in Table 1. [0102] [Polishing of silicon wafer] 粗 Rough polishing was performed under the following conditions using the polishing liquid (action slurry) of each example. (Grinding conditions) Grinding device: Single-side grinder manufactured by THINKY, Japan, model "EJ-380IN" Grinding pad: Made by NITTA HAAS, trade name "MH S-15A" Grinding pressure: 26.6kPa Slurry flow rate: 100mL / Number of platen rotations per minute: 50rpm 数 Number of rotations of indenter: 50rpm Grinding amount: 8μm 种类 Work type: bare silicon P- <100> Workpiece size: □ 60mm × 60mm [0103] [Edge slip off] Use a non-contact surface shape measuring machine (trade name "NewView 5032", manufactured by Zygo, available from CANON), and find the distance from the above grinding The reference height of the central part of the surface of the abrasive (20 mm square from the center) was measured as a change in height from a position about 2.5 mm from the outer peripheral end of the abrasive, and this was set as the amount of edge slip. The measured edge slippage was evaluated on the basis of the following 4 criteria. A: Edge slippage is less than 250nm B: Edge slippage is 250nm or more and less than 280nm C: Edge slippage is 280nm or more and less than 300nm D: Edge slippage is 300nm or more A ~ C is practical Eligibility, D is considered unacceptable. The results are shown in Table 1. [0104] 表面 [Surface Roughness Ra] For each example of the rough-polished silicon wafer (the test piece after the rough polishing and subsequent cleaning), a non-contact surface shape measuring machine (trade name "NewView 5032", Zygo (Manufactured by the company, available from CANON), and the surface roughness Ra (arithmetic average surface roughness) is measured. The obtained measured value was converted into a relative value with the surface roughness Ra of Example 4 set to 100%, and evaluated in the following two stages. The results are shown in Table 1. A: less than 100% B: more than 100% [0105][0106] As shown in Table 1, Examples 1 to 6 in which liquid A containing abrasive particles and a basic compound and liquid B containing water-soluble polymer P1 were separately prepared were excellent in stability both in liquid A and liquid B. On the other hand, in Comparative Examples 3 to 6 using the one-component concentrated solution, good stability could not be obtained. In addition, Examples 1 to 6 using the water-soluble polymer P1 having a radius of inertia of 100 nm or more improved edge slippage properties compared to Comparative Examples 1 and 2 using a water-soluble polymer having an inertia radius of less than 100 nm. In addition, in Examples 1 to 3, 5, and 6 in which the water-soluble polymer P2 was used in combination, compared with Example 4 in which the water-soluble polymer P2 was not used, the surface roughness Ra also tended to be improved. [0107] Although the specific examples of the present invention have been described in detail above, these are merely examples and do not limit the scope of patent applications. The technology described in the scope of the patent application includes various modifications and changes of the specific examples illustrated above.
