- the bonding method is a technique of bonding two silicon wafers through a silicon oxide film.
- at least one bonding method is used. After forming an oxide film on the wafer and making it adhere to each other without intervening foreign matter on the bonding surface, heat treatment is performed at a temperature of 200 to 120 ° C to increase the bonding strength. Is the way.
- the bonded wafer, whose bonding strength has been increased by heat treatment can be subjected to a subsequent grinding and polishing process. Therefore, the wafer on the element manufacturing side is ground and polished to a desired thickness. As a result, an SOI layer for forming an element can be formed.
- the bonded SOI wafer manufactured in this way has the advantage of excellent crystallinity of the SOI layer and high reliability of the buried oxide film directly under the SOI layer. Therefore, it takes a long time to reduce the film thickness, wastes materials, and achieves a film thickness uniformity of only about ⁇ 0.3 ⁇ at most.

- the SOI / BOX interface is further planarized due to the planarization effect of thermal oxidation, and the RMS value is surely 0.12 nm or less. Can be improved.
- the SOI wafer whose SOI / BOX interface has already been flattened is subjected to natural oxide film removal and hydrogen annealing heat treatment to flatten the surface roughness. Therefore, the uniformity of the SOI layer thickness can be further improved by the synergistic effect of the flattening effect of the SOI / BOX interface and the flattening effect of the SOI wafer surface roughness.

- the SOI wafer surface and the SOI wafer have an adverse effect on the oxide film breakdown voltage, threshold voltage, carrier mobility, and other characteristics of the MOS device manufactured using the SOI wafer.
- the surface roughness of the SOI wafer was determined by mirror polishing the SOI wafer, removing the natural oxide film on the surface, Using an apparatus, a mixed gas atmosphere of 100% hydrogen or argon and / or nitrogen containing 100% or more of hydrogen After heat-treating the SOI wafer subjected to heat treatment in an atmosphere, a thermal oxide film of 300 nm or more is formed on the surface, and the thermal oxide film is removed.

- the oxide film thickness is set to 300 nm or more, the surface roughness is improved to an RMS value of about 0.12 nm or less.
- the reason why the surface roughness is improved by the formation of the oxide film is thought to be due to the effect of the interstitial silicon generated by the oxidation being injected into the wafer surface and filling the atomic vacancies on the surface. Therefore, it can be interpreted that the thicker the oxide film is, the more the atomic vacancies are filled, thereby improving the surface roughness.
- both of the above two types of heat treatment for improving the surface roughness target the wafer surface, and do not target the SO I ZB O X interface of the bonded S O I wafer.

- the bond surface with improved surface roughness becomes the SOIZBOX interface, so that an SOI wafer with improved surface roughness at the interface can be obtained.
- the combination of the planarization effect by heat treatment in a hydrogen atmosphere and the planarization effect by thermal oxidation can be applied not only to the SOI / BOX interface but also to the SOI surface. That is, if the mirror-polished SOI wafer is heat-treated in a hydrogen atmosphere to flatten the surface, and the surface is thermally oxidized to remove the oxide film, the SOI wafer becomes
- the surface roughness of the c surface can be further improved, and thermal oxidation and removal of the oxide film can be repeated as necessary to not only improve the surface roughness, but also maintain the uniformity of the SOI layer thickness. A thinner film is also possible.
