DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a method for measuring oxygen (O) content in silicon (Si). In particular, the present invention relates to a method of measuring the amount of oxygen (O) contained in a silicon (Si) wafer for manufacturing semiconductor devices.

Silicon (Si) materials used to manufacture semiconductor devices need to be of extremely high purity. However, since crucibles made of silicon dioxide (quartz) are generally used in the manufacturing process of silicon (Si) materials, it is unavoidable that very small amounts of oxygen (O) will be mixed into the silicon (Si) materials. .
On the other hand, in the manufacturing process of semiconductor devices, thermal cycles are repeated several times, and during this process, the extremely small amount of oxygen (O) contained above becomes the cause of crystal defects in silicon (Si) materials. Furthermore, there is a risk that oxygen (O) becomes a donor in the above heat treatment process and changes the p-type or n-type impurity concentration previously given to the silicon (Si) material. Therefore, it is particularly important for silicon (Si) materials used as materials for manufacturing semiconductor devices to have a low content of oxygen (O). Measuring the amount of oxygen (O) always has important significance in the manufacturing process of semiconductor devices.

The methods traditionally used for this purpose are
ASTM (American Society for Testing and
In this method, a test object with a thickness of 2 mm and polished on both sides is made from silicon (Si) material, and the transmitted light of the test object is measured using an infrared spectrophotometer. The content of oxygen (O) is measured based on the presence or absence and size of absorption points that appear on the spectrum. However, silicon (Si) materials commonly used for manufacturing semiconductor devices have a diameter of, for example, 4.
inch (10.16cm) and thickness is 625μm or 525μm
m, and is a thin plate with mirror polishing on only one side,
Test objects specified by ASTM cannot be made from this standard material. Specifically, in order to measure the oxygen (O) content, a wafer with a thickness approximately four times that of a normal wafer is specially made, a test piece of an appropriate size is cut from it, and both sides of the wafer are cut out. The test object must be prepared by polishing, which is not only very troublesome, but also wasteful because the remaining wafer has no use. Physically, of course, it is possible to cut out a test piece of an appropriate size from a normal material with a normal thickness of 625 μm or 525 μm and mirror-polished on one side, and then polish the remaining side to create a test object. Although it is possible, it has been confirmed that even if the transmitted light spectrum is analyzed using an infrared spectrophotometer using this test object, the error will be large and it is not suitable for practical use. The reality is that we have no choice but to prepare.

First, the inventor of the present invention has determined that whether silicon (Si) containing p-type impurities or silicon (Si) containing n-type impurities is used, the concentration range is within a practical range as a semiconductor device, that is, 10 14 pieces/cm 3 to 10 21 pieces/cm 3 . We focused on the fact that impurity concentration and resistivity have a nearly proportional relationship in the concentration range of cm 3 , and on the other hand, the disadvantage of oxygen (O) content in silicon (Si) is that oxygen (O) is affected by thermal cycles. Therefore, we focused on the fact that oxygen (O) becomes a donor, that is, it is caused by the phenomenon that oxygen (O) changes into an n-type impurity through heat treatment. If heat treatment is performed under specific conditions to actively convert the oxygen (O) contained in the sample into a donor, and the resulting change in resistivity is measured, it is possible to determine whether the silicon (Si) contained in the specimen is pre-contained. Oxygen (O)
I got the idea that it would be possible to measure quantities.

First, even in silicon (Si) containing p-type impurities, n
Even with silicon (Si) containing type impurities, the impurity concentration and specific resistance have a nearly proportional relationship in the concentration range that is practical for semiconductor devices, that is, the concentration range of 10 14 pieces/cm 3 to 10 21 pieces/cm 3 . It is well known that it has.

Next, the heat treatment temperature for oxygen (O) contained in the crystal is about 400℃ to 550℃, and the heat treatment time is
It is also well known that when heat treatment is performed under the conditions that the heat treatment time is about 30 minutes to 20 hours, and the heat treatment time is short when the heat treatment temperature is high, and the heat treatment time is long when the heat treatment temperature is low, it changes into a donor.
This phenomenon occurs because an oxygen atom in a substitutional position is fixed because four of its six outermost shell electrons form covalent bonds with other adjacent silicon atoms, but the remaining electrons are It is understood that the purpose is to become a donor.

そこで、不所望の酸素(O)を含むシリコン

Therefore, a silicon (Si) specimen containing undesired oxygen (O) is subjected to heat treatment under predetermined conditions (heat treatment temperature is approximately 400℃ to 550℃, heat treatment time is approximately 30 minutes to 20 hours). (If the heat treatment temperature is high, the heat treatment time will be short; if the heat treatment temperature is low, the heat treatment time will be long.)
If part of the oxygen (O) originally contained in silicon (Si), which is the test object, is converted into a donor, the impurity concentration will naturally change.

この比抵抗の変化は、熱処理条件(基本的には
熱処理温度と熱処理時間との積に支配される。)

This change in resistivity is governed by the heat treatment conditions (basically the product of heat treatment temperature and heat treatment time).
It should be controlled by the degree of donorization, which is controlled by

Therefore, initially heat treatment is performed multiple times under different heat treatment conditions, and if necessary, this is graphed and the graph is extended in the opposite direction (in the direction where no heat treatment is performed and the heat treatment effect is zero). For example, we thought that we could find out the initial oxygen concentration.

Furthermore, when this method is used industrially for the same type of specimen, a single heat treatment is used to remove the oxygen originally contained in the specimen, based on the same effect as above. I thought it goes without saying that it is possible to know the amount.

Next, we conducted the following experiment to confirm the feasibility of realizing this idea. First, specific resistance 10Ω・cm
A silicon (Si) substrate (wafer) containing p-type impurities, each containing oxygen (O) and p-type impurities.
2.12×10 18 pieces/cm 3 , 1.64×10 18 pieces/cm 3 , 1.34×10 18
Four types of test materials were prepared containing 1.16×10 18 cells/cm 3 and 1.16×10 18 cells/cm 3 . Next, from this point along the plane parallel to the crystal plane 100, the normal thickness, that is,
It was cut out to have a diameter of 625 μm, mirror-polished on only one side, and heat-treated for 15 hours in a nitrogen (N 2 ) gas atmosphere at 450° C. while successively measuring changes in resistivity. The results are shown in the figure. In the figure, curve 1,
1' shows the case where the oxygen (O) content is 2.12 × 10 18 pieces/cm 3 , and curves 2 and 2' show the case where the oxygen (O) content is 2.12 × 10 18 /cm 3.
Curves 3 and 4 show the case where the oxygen (O) content is 1.34× 10 18 particles /cm 3 and
The case of 1.16×10 18 pieces is shown. Curve 1, 2, 3, 4
As the heat treatment progresses, the oxygen (Si) contained in silicon (Si) changes into a donor, that is, an n-type impurity, canceling out the p-type impurity concentration previously contained in silicon (Si), and gradually increasing the p-type impurity concentration. By reducing the type impurity concentration, as a result,
The resistivity of silicon (Si) shows a tendency to gradually increase. Therefore, in the ranges shown by curves 1, 2, 3, and 4, the silicon (Si) conductivity type is p-type. Curves 1' and 2' show that when the oxygen (O) content is high and the heat treatment progresses further, silicon (Si)
Oxygen (O) contained in silicon (Si) further changes into a donor, that is, an n-type impurity, and the amount of n-type impurity generated thereby exceeds the amount of p-type impurity that was previously contained in silicon (Si). However, after changing to n-type silicon (Si), the n-type impurity concentration further increases, and as a result, the resistivity of silicon (Si) tends to gradually decrease. Therefore,
In the range shown by curves 1' and 2', the conductivity type of silicon (Si) is n-type.

Based on the above experimental results, the inventor of the present invention fabricated a test piece of appropriate size from a silicon (Si) wafer of normal size manufactured for practical use, and first measured the specific resistance of this. Measure it and
Next, this is heat-treated in a nitrogen (N 2 ) gas atmosphere at, for example, 450°C for one hour, and then the resistivity is measured again. By comparing the results with the experimental results, it was concluded that the amount of oxygen (O) previously contained in the silicon (Si) wafer from which the test piece was taken could be measured.

The specific resistance of silicon (Si) wafers in practical use varies depending on the application and is not one type, so it is necessary to conduct experiments similar to the above for each type and prepare a comparison standard. Unavoidable. Also, since oxygen (O) changes to n-type impurity through heat treatment, n-type silicon (Si)
In the case of wafers, the above-mentioned conductivity type reversal phenomenon does not occur, and the n-type impurity concentration increases unilaterally, resulting in a simple decreasing tendency of resistivity.

As explained above, in the method of measuring the oxygen content of silicon according to the present invention, silicon material is subjected to predetermined heat treatment conditions (temperature is 400℃).
℃ to 550℃ for a period of about 30 minutes to 20 hours), the oxygen originally contained in the silicon material is converted into a donor, and the oxygen originally contained in the silicon material is converted into a donor. The concentration of p-type or n-type impurities due to the amount is changed, and if necessary, the heat treatment is performed multiple times with different heat treatment conditions, so that the concentration of p-type or n-type impurities originally contained in the silicon material is changed in response to the different heat treatment conditions. The amount of oxygen originally contained in the silicon material is determined based on the rate of change in the specific resistance that occurs in response to each of the heat treatment conditions. Therefore, there is no need to use expensive measuring equipment, and the silicon (Si) test piece taken from a practical silicon (Si) wafer is heat-treated under predetermined conditions, and the specific resistance before and after the heat treatment is measured. Oxygen (O) contained in silicon (Si) wafer due to changes in
Since it is possible to measure the amount of light, there is no need to manufacture a test object with a special shape that complies with ASTM, and there is no need for the troublesome work of spectral analysis of the transmitted light of the test object. , of course, has many advantageous effects such as no need to install an infrared spectrometer.
