COMPOSITE MEMBER AND SEPARATING METHOD THEREFOR, BONDED SUBSTRATE STACK AND SEPARATING METOD THEREFORE, TRANSFER METHOD FOR TRANSFER LAYER, AND SOI SUBSTRATE MANUFACTURING METHOD}
The present invention relates to a composite member and a separation method thereof, a bonded laminated substrate and a separation method thereof, a relocation method of the relocation layer and a method for producing an SOI substrate.
As a substrate having a single crystal Si layer on an insulating layer, a substrate (SOI substrate) having a silicon on insulator (SOI) structure is known. Devices using SOI substrates have many advantages that cannot be obtained using conventional Si substrates. An example of this is as follows.
(1) Since the insulator is easily separated, the degree of integration can be increased.
(2) The reflection resistance can be increased.
(3) Due to the small mammal capacity, it is possible to speed up the operation speed of the device.
(4) There is no need for a well step.
(5) Latch-up can be prevented.
(6) A complete depletion type field effect transistor can be formed by thin film formation.
Since SOI substrates have the various advantages described above, research on their preparation has been ongoing for decades.
As one SOI technique, a silicon on sapphire (SOS) technique in which Si is heterogeneously laminated and grown by CVD (chemical vapor deposition) on a single crystal sapphire substrate has been known for a long time. The SOS technology has earned a reputation as the most complete SOI technology. However, for example, a large amount of crystal defects are generated by lattice mismatch at the interface between the Si layer and the lower sapphire layer, and when the aluminum constituting the sapphire substrate is mixed with the Si layer, the substrate is expensive and has a large area. Since it is difficult to obtain the SOS technology has not been put to practical use.
Recently, attempts have been made to realize an SOI structure using no sapphire substrate at all. The attempts are roughly classified in two ways.
In the first method, the surface of a single crystal Si substrate is oxidized, and openings are formed in the oxide film (SiO 2 layer) to partially expose the Si substrate. By using the exposed portion as a seed and growing to stack single crystal Si laterally, a single crystal Si layer is formed on SiO 2 (in this method, a Si layer is deposited on the SiO 2 layer).
In the second method, a single crystal Si substrate itself is used as an active layer to form an SiO 2 layer on the lower surface of the substrate (in this method, no Si layer is deposited).
As a means for realizing the first method, a method of growing a single crystal Si layer laterally from a single crystal Si layer by lamination by a CVD method, and depositing an amorphous Si layer and monocrystalline in the cross direction in a solid state by annealing A method of growing Si in a lamination (solid epitaxial growth method), and irradiating a focused Si energy beam such as an electron beam or a laser beam to an amorphous Si layer or a polycrystalline Si layer to melt a recrystallization to form a single crystal Si layer on a SiO 2 layer. A method of growing (beam annealing method) and a method of scanning a band-shaped molten region by a rod-shaped heater (band melt recrystallization method) are known.
These method modes have many problems such as advantages and disadvantages, controllability, productivity, uniformity and quality, and thus have not been put to practical use in industrial applications. For example, CVD requires sacrificial oxidation to form flat thin films. Solid state epitaxial growth is weak in crystallinity. In beam annealing, the processing time required for scanning the focused beam and the controllability for beam overlapping and focusing become a problem. The band melt recrystallization method is the most mature technology, and a relatively large scale integrated circuit has been manufactured based on the method. However, since a large number of crystal defects, such as subboundary, exist unavoidably, a minority carrier element cannot be produced.
As a second method, for example, the following four techniques are used as a method in which a Si substrate is not used as a seed for epitaxial growth.
As a first technique, an oxide film is formed on a single crystal Si substrate having a V-shaped groove formed on its surface by anisotropic etching. A polysilicon layer having a thickness almost equal to the thickness of the single crystal Si substrate is deposited on the oxide film. Next, by polishing the single crystal Si substrate from the lower surface, a substrate having a single crystal Si region surrounded by and insulated by V-shaped grooves is formed on the thick polysilicon layer. Through the above technique, it is possible to form a substrate having satisfactory crystallinity. However, there is a problem of controllability and productivity in connection with a process of depositing a polysilicon layer to a thickness of several hundred microns or a process of polishing a single crystal Si substrate from a lower surface to leave an isolated Si active layer.
The second technique is SIMOX (separation by oxygen ion implantation). In this technique, oxygen ions are implanted into a single crystal Si substrate to form a SiO 2 layer. In this technique, in order to form a SiO 2 layer on a substrate, oxygen ions must be implanted at a dosage of 10 18 (ion / cm 2) or more. This injection takes a long time, resulting in low productivity and high manufacturing costs. In addition, since a large number of crystal defects are generated, the quality is considerably degraded, making it impossible to manufacture a minority carrier element.
As a third technique, an SOI substrate is formed by dielectric separation by oxidizing a porous Si layer. In this technique, n-type Si islands are formed on the surface of a P-type single crystal Si substrate by quantum ion implantation (Imai et al. J. crystal Growth, vol. 63,547 (1983)) or epitaxial growth and patterning. The substrate is anodized in HF solution to convert only the P-type silicon substrate around the n-type silicon island into a porous structure. Next, the n-type silicon island is insulated from each other by accelerated oxidation. In this technique, since the Si region to be separated must be determined before the element processing step, the degree of freedom in element design is limited.
As a fourth technique, an SOI substrate is formed by joining a single crystal Si substrate and another thermally oxidized single crystal Si substrate by annealing or an adhesive. In this technique, the active layer forming the element becomes uniformly thin. More specifically, a single crystal Si substrate having a thickness of several hundred microns becomes thinner to a micron order or less.
To thin the substrate, a polishing method or selective etching may be used. It is very difficult to uniformly thin a single crystal Si substrate by polishing. In particular, when the film is thinned down to a submicron level, the variation range is several ten percent. As the wafer size increases, the difficulty becomes more difficult.
Selective etching is effective to uniformly thin the substrate. However, since the selectivity is as low as 10 2 , the surface flatness after etching is weakened, and the crystallinity of the SOI layer is also poor.
A light transmissive substrate represented by a glass substrate is important for constructing a contact sensor or a projection liquid crystal display device such as a light receiving element. In order to realize a high definition pixel having a high density and a high resolution for a sensor or a display device, a high performance driving element is required. For this purpose, a technique for forming a single crystal Si layer having excellent crystallinity on a light transmissive substrate is required.
However, when an Si layer is deposited on a light-transmissive substrate represented by a glass substrate, only an amorphous Si layer or a polycrystalline Si layer is obtained. This is because the light transmissive substrate has an amorphous structure, and the Si layer formed on the substrate reflects irregularities in the crystal structure of the light transmissive substrate.
The present applicant has disclosed a new SOI technology in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-21338. In this technique, a first substrate obtained by forming a porous layer on a single crystal Si substrate and a nonporous layer on the substrate is bonded to the second substrate through an insulating layer. Next, the non-porous single crystal layer is transferred to the second substrate by separating the bonded laminated substrate into two substrates in the porous layer. This technique is excellent in the uniformity of the film thickness of the SOI layer, so that the density of crystal defects in the SOI layer can be reduced, the surface flatness of the SOI layer is excellent, and no expensive manufacturing apparatus having special specifications is needed, and there are several hundred A. There is an advantage that a SOI substrate having an SOI film having a thickness of 10 to 10 mu m can be manufactured by a single manufacturing apparatus.
In Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 7-302889, the first and second substrates are bonded together, the first substrate is separated from the second substrate without damaging the first substrate, and the surface of the separated first substrate is removed. A technique for smoothing, re-forming a porous layer on a first substrate, and reusing the substrate has been disclosed. Since the first substrate is not disposed of, this technique has the advantage of greatly reducing the manufacturing cost and simplifying the manufacturing process.
In order to separate the bonded laminated substrate into two substrates without damaging the first substrate and the second substrate, for example, a force is applied in a direction perpendicular to the bonded surface, and a shearing force is applied to the bonded surface. Tensioning the two substrates in the opposite direction during application (i.e., moving the two substrates in both directions in a plane parallel to the bonding surface, or rotating the two substrates in the opposite direction while applying a force in the circumferential direction, Alternatively, pressure is applied in a direction perpendicular to the bonding surface, and wave energy such as ultrasonic waves is applied to the separation region, or a peeling member (for example, a sharp blade such as a knife) is attached from the surface of the side surface of the bonding substrate. Porous material acting as separation region or using expansion energy of a material inserted into a separation zone parallel to the hole, or filling a hole in the porous layer acting as a separation zone Expanding the volume of the porous layer to the thermally oxidized from the side surface of the bonded substrate stack and substrate are separated, or separated substrate by the porous layer is selectively etched away from the outer surface of the bonded substrate stack to act as a separation zone.
The porous Si layer was discovered by Euler et al. In 1956 during the course of electropolishing of semiconductors (A. Uhlir. Bell Syst. Tech. J., vol. 35,333 (1956)). Porous Si is formed by anodizing a Si substrate in an HF solution.
Unagami et al. Studied the dissolution reaction of Si during anodization and reported that holes were required for anodization of Si in HF solution.
Si + 2HF + (2-n ) e + → SiF 2 + 2H + + ne -
SiF 2 + 2HF → SiF 4 + H 2
SiF 4 + 2HF → H 2 SIF 6
or
Si + 4HF + (4-λ ) e + → SiF 4 + 4H + + λe -
SiF 4 + 2HF → H 2 SiF 6
Equation (T. Unagumi, J. Electrochem, SOC., Vol. 127,476 (1980))
Where e + and e represent the holes and electrons, respectively, and n and λ are the number of holes required to dissolve Si 1 atoms. According to these, porous Si is formed when n> 2 or (lambda)> 4.
This fact implies that the p-type Si with the pores is converted to porous silicon but the n-type silicon is not. Selectivity in the transformation has been reported by Nagona et al. And Imai et al. (Nagano, Nakajima, Anno, Onaka, Kajiwara, Institute of Electronics and Telecommunications Research, vol. 79, SSD79-9549 (1979)) (K. Imai) , solid-state Electronics, vol. 24,159 (1981).
However, it has also been reported that high concentrations of n-type silicon are converted to porous silicon (R. P. Holmstrom and J. Y. Chi. Appl. Lett., Vol. 42,386 (1983)). Therefore, it is important to select a substrate that can be converted into a porous Si substrate regardless of P type or N type.
In order to form the porous layer, in addition to the above anodization method, ions may be implanted into the silicon substrate.
For example, in the method described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 5-21338, that is, a substrate obtained by bonding a first substrate and a second substrate having a non-porous layer such as a single crystal Si layer on a porous layer through an insulating layer. In the method of separating (hereinafter referred to as a bonded laminated substrate) from the porous layer and thereby transferring the non-porous layer formed on the first substrate side to the second substrate, a technique of separating the bonded laminated substrate is very important.
For example, when separating a bonded laminate substrate, if separated in a portion other than the porous layer as a separation layer, a non-porous layer (for example, a single crystal Si layer) used as an active layer is destroyed, thereby obtaining a desired SOI substrate. Can't.

In a preferred embodiment of the present invention, the bonded substrate stack 30 is formed. The bonded laminated substrate 30 is a part (hereinafter, referred to as a protrusion) in which the outer circumferential portion of the first substrate having the porous layer 12 is partially located outside the second substrate 20 as a separation layer (separation layer). ) In order to manufacture the laminated substrate 30 in this manner, for example, the following method is preferably used.
(1) While shifting the center of the substrate, the first substrate is brought into close contact with the second substrate 20 having the same size as that of the first substrate.
(2) The first substrate 10 is brought into close contact with the second substrate 20 smaller than the first substrate.
(3) A substrate having a notch or orientation flat is used as the second substrate 20. The surface of the first substrate 10 is exposed to the notches or orientation flats of the second substrate. In this case, the outer peripheral portion of the first substrate 10 protrudes outward from the outer peripheral portion of the second substrate in the notch or orientation flat of the second substrate.
(4) After joining the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20, part or all of the outer peripheral portion of the second substrate is polished.
In the method of (3), a substrate having a notch and an orientation flat is used as the first substrate 10, and the notch or orientation flat of the first substrate 10 is a notch or orientation plate of the second substrate 20. Lay the two substrates so that they do not match.
1C schematically shows an example of a method of bringing the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 having the same size into close contact with each other while shifting their center positions. The protrusion amount D of a part of the first substrate 10 may be, for example, about 0.1 mm to 0.5 mm and larger.
FIG. 2 is a perspective view schematically showing an example of the bonded substrate stack 30 shown in FIG. 1C.
FIG. 5 is a perspective view showing an example of the bonded laminated substrate 30 formed by bringing the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 smaller than the first substrate 10 into close contact with each other while matching the center positions thereof. .
Unlike the state obtained by bringing the first substrate and the second substrate into close contact with each other as shown in FIG. 1C, the insulating layer 14 is on the single crystal Si layer 13 side or the single crystal Si layer 13 and the second substrate ( 20) may be formed on both sides. However, when the insulating layer 14 is formed on the single crystal Si layer 13 side serving as an active layer, a high quality SOI substrate can be obtained. This is because the bonding interface between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 can be separated from the active layer.
In the step shown in Fig. 1D, a separation start portion 40, which is a portion at which separation starts, is formed in the protrusion. More specifically, in order to form the separation start portion 40, at least a part of the relocation layer (the single crystal Si layer 13 and the insulating layer 14) in the protruding region of the first substrate 10 is removed and relocated. The layer and the porous layer can be selectively removed. In order to form the separation start section 40, for example, the following method is preferably used.
(1) The fluid is sprayed on the protrusion to destroy and remove the permeable layer and the lower porous layer from the protrusion.
(2) The wedge is inserted in the vicinity of the bonding interface between the first substrate 10 and the second substrate 20 at the protruding portion, thereby destroying and removing the moving layer and the lower porous layer 12.
(3) Vibration energy such as ultrasonic waves is applied to the protruding portion to destroy the porous layer at this protruding portion, and peel off the moving layer on the porous layer 12.
(4) The protrusions are immersed in the etching solution, and the moving layer and the lower porous layer 912 are etched and removed.
Referring to Fig. 10, 12a is a porous layer after formation of the separation start section 40; Reference numeral 13a denotes a single crystal Si layer of the separation start portion 40 forming portion, and 14a is an insulating layer after formation of the separation start portion 40. The separation start section 40 preferably has a structure in which only the porous layer is broken in the next separation step so that the bonded substrate stack can be separated into two substrates. Alternatively, the separation start unit 40 may be more susceptible to the porous layer 12 from being more mechanically vulnerable, such as the single crystal layer 13a, the insulating layer 14a, the second substrate 20, the single crystal Si substrate and the interface between the layers or the substrate. It is desirable to be a part.
More specifically, the separation start unit 40 preferably has a structure in which the porous layer 12 is exposed to the surface of the side of the bonded substrate stack.
More preferably, as shown in FIG. 1D, the outer circumferential portion of the porous layer 12 is positioned inside the outer circumferential portion of the receding layer.
When the bonded substrate stack 30 having the protrusion is formed, the moving layer and the lower porous layer can be easily removed at that portion. This is because the moving layer of the protrusion is exposed more than the moving layer of the remaining portion. Therefore, when the bonded substrate stack with protrusions is formed, the separation start portion can be easily formed.
When the separation start portion is formed, the porous layer 12 can be selectively destroyed in order to separate the bonded substrate stack in the next separation step. This effectively prevents defects in the separation step.
In the step shown in Fig. 1E, for the bonded laminated substrate having the separation start portion 40, separation is started in the porous layer 12 of the separation start portion 40. Finally, the bonded substrate stack is completely separated into two substrates in the porous layer 12.
In order to separate a laminated substrate, for example, the following method is preferably used.
(1) Separation method using fluid
For example, a flow of a fluid such as a liquid such as water or a gas such as air or nitrogen is injected into the gap at the outer peripheral portion of the bonded laminate substrate. The bonded substrate stack is separated into two substrates in the porous layer 12 by a fluid.
(2) Separation method using wedge
For example, when a thin wedge made of resin is gradually inserted into the gap at the outer periphery of the bonded laminated substrate, a suitable laminated substrate is separated into two substrates in the porous layer 12.
(3) Separation method by peeling
One surface of the bonded laminate substrate is fixed, and the other surface thereof is pulled in the axial direction of the bonded laminate substrate using a flexible tape or the like to separate the bonded laminate substrate from the porous layer.
(4) Separation method using shear stress
The bonded laminated substrate can be separated from the porous layer by shear stress by fixing one surface of the bonded laminated substrate and applying a force to the other surface to move the other surface in the planar direction of the bonded laminated substrate.
The separation start portion forming step (preliminary separation step) shown in FIG. 1D and the separation step (main separation step) shown in FIG. 1E may be executed continuously by a single processing apparatus. For example, it is preferable to perform the separation start forming step (preliminary separation step) and the separation step (main separation step) continuously by using a fluid such as water using a water injection device, which is a separation device using a fluid. Do.
As described above, after the separation start portion is formed, if the separation process starts from the separation start portion, the bonded substrate stack can be substantially separated only from the porous layer. Therefore, it is possible to prevent breakage (creation of defects) of the interface between the single crystal layer 13a, the insulating layer 14a, the second substrate 20, and the single crystal Si substrate 11 and the layer or between the substrates.
In the case of using a bonded laminated substrate having a protrusion, when the separation start portion is first formed in the protrusion, and when total separation starts from the separation start portion, the bonded laminated substrate can be substantially separated only from the porous layer.
Therefore, it is possible to prevent the single crystal layer 13, the insulating layer 14, the second substrate 20, the single crystal Si substrate 11, and the interface between the layers or the substrate from being destroyed.
When the bonded laminated substrates formed by bringing the second substrates having the same size as the first substrate 10 into close contact with each other with the notches or the orientation flats are directly separated, the single crystal Si layer 13, the insulating layer 14, The interface between the second substrate 20, the single crystal Si substrate 11, and the layer or the substrate may be destroyed to cause defects. Such a phenomenon may occur due to the following mechanism.
In the bonded substrate stack, it is ideal that the porous layer 12 is the weakest. In practice, for example, due to stresses and dips between the porous layer 12, the single crystal Si layer 13, the insulating layer 14, and the second substrate 20, the porous layer 12 and Likewise, a weaker portion and a portion more vulnerable than the porous layer 12 (hereinafter, referred to as defect inducing parts) may be generated.
Such defect attracting parts are first destroyed during the separation treatment, causing defects. The defect is easily generated at the portion at which the separation treatment is started, for example, at the portion at which the force (separation force) for separation is first applied. The same force acts on the porous layer 12, the single crystal Si layer 13, the insulating layer 14, and the second substrate 20 at the portion where the separation treatment is started, for example, the outer periphery of the bonded laminated substrate. For this reason, if a defect attracting part exists, the probability of breaking before the porous layer 12 may be very high. As the separation process proceeds, the force for separation (separation force) acts intensively on the porous layer 12, which is the weakest layer of average strength, and the separation force hardly acts on the rest. Thus, the porous layer 12 is selectively separated regardless of the presence of the defect inducing portion.
As in the present embodiment, it is preferable to form the bonded laminated substrate 30 having the protrusions, to form the separation start portion in the protrusions, and to start the continuous separation treatment from the separation start portion 40.
In the separation step shown in FIG. 1E, the first substrate 10 'after separation has a structure in which a porous Si layer 12b is formed on the single crystal Si substrate 11. On the other hand, after separation, the second substrate 20 has a multilayer structure of the porous layer 12c / single crystal Si layer 13b / insulating layer 14b / single crystal Si substrate 20.
That is, in the treatment process, the single crystal Si layer 13 and the insulating layer 14 on the porous layer 12 of the first substrate may be transferred to the second substrate. The porous layer 12 is one example of a separation layer, and the single crystal Si layer 13 and the insulating layer 14 are one example of a transfer layer transferred from the first substrate to the second substrate.
In the step shown in FIG. 1F, the porous layer 12 on the surface of the second substrate 20 'after separation is selectively removed. By carrying out this processing step, an SOI substrate 50 having a multilayer structure of a single crystal Si layer 13b / insulation layer 14 / single crystal Si substrate 20, that is, an SOI substrate 50 having an SOI structure is obtained. Can be.
In the step shown in Fig. 1G, the porous layer 12b on the single crystal Si substrate 11 of the first substrate 10 'after separation is selectively removed by, for example, etching. The single crystal Si substrate 11 obtained by this method can be used again as a substrate used for forming the first substrate or the second substrate again.
As described above, according to this embodiment, the bonded laminated substrate having the lead-out portion is formed, and the separation start portion is formed in the protruding portion at the start of the separation start portion. In the subsequent separation process, since the separation start unit is destroyed first, defects can be prevented.
A processing apparatus suitable for the execution of the separation start portion forming step (preliminary separation step) and separation step (main separation step) shown in FIGS. 1D and 1E will be described below.

First, in order to form the first substrate, for example, a P-type or n-type single crystal Si substrate 11 having a specific resistance of 0.01 Ωcm is prepared. The single crystal Si substrate 11 is subjected to two-step anodization treatment in HF solution to form a porous Si layer 12 having two layers of porous layers having different porosities on the surface of the single crystal Si substrate. 1A, at this time, the polarization conditions are as follows.

In Example 1, the porous layer 12 has a two-layer structure. The porous layer on the surface side formed in the first step using low current is used to form the high quality epitaxial Si layer 13. The lower porous layer formed in the second step using the high current was used as the separation layer. The thickness of the porous layer formed in the first anodization treatment is not limited to the above examples, and for example, several hundreds of m to 0.1 m is preferable. The thickness of the porous layer formed in the second anodization treatment is also not limited to the above examples, and may be appropriately changed according to the conditions of the following separation treatment step.
Porous layer 12 has one or three or more layers.
Next, the substrate was oxidized in an oxygen atmosphere at 400 ° C. for 1 hour. By the oxidation treatment, the inner wall of the hole in the porous layer 12 is covered with a thermal oxide film.
A 0.3 micrometer-thick single crystal Si layer 13 is epitaxially grown on the porous Si layer 12 by CVD (chemical vapor deposition) (FIG. 1B). In the initial stage of epitaxial growth, the surface of the porous Si layer 12 is exposed to H 2 . Thus, the hole on the surface is filled to form a flat surface.

On the surface of the epitaxially grown single crystal Si layer 13, a 200 nm thick silicon oxide layer 14 is formed by thermal oxidation (Fig. 1B). The first substrate 10 is obtained by the above process.
An Si substrate (second substrate) having the same size as that of the first substrate was prepared. The surface of the SiO 2 layer of the first substrate 10 and the center position of the second substrate 20 are shifted in close contact with each other. The resulting structure is annealed at 1,180 ° C. for 5 minutes to form a bonded laminate substrate 30, as shown in FIG. 2, with protrusions (FIG. 1C).

As shown in FIG. 3, the bonded laminated substrate 30 is installed in the processing apparatus 100 while the protrusion of the bonded laminated substrate 30 faces the spray nozzle 105. A fluid (reduced in this case) is injected into the protrusion for several seconds from the injection nozzle 105 having a diameter of 0.1 mm at a pressure of 500 kgf / cm 2 to form a separation start portion 40 on the bonded substrate stack (FIG. 1D).
As shown in FIG. 4, while the fluid is injected into the separation start section 40, the pressure of the fluid injected from the injection nozzle 105 is reduced to 400 kgf / cm 2. As shown in FIG. 4, while rotating the bonded substrate stack 30, the bonded substrate stack 30 is completely separated from the porous layer (FIG. 1E).
After separation, the porous layer 12b, which remains on the surface of the second substrate 20 ', is selectively etched using a mixed solution of 49% hydrofluoric acid, 30% hydrogen peroxide and water as the silver etching solution (FIG. 1F). The above process yields an SOI substrate as shown in Fig. 1F.
The porous layer 12b remaining on the surface of the single crystal Si substrate 11 is selectively etched using a mixed solution of 49% hydrofluoric acid, 30% hydrogen peroxide and water as an etching solution (Fig. 1G).

The single crystal Si substrate 11 is subjected to two-step anodization treatment in an HF solution to form a porous Si layer having two layers of porous layers having different versatility on the surface of the single crystal Si substrate (FIG. 1A). The polarization conditions are as follows.

In Example 2, the porous layer 12 has a two-layer structure. The surface-side porous layer formed in the first step using low current is used to form the high quality epitaxial Si layer 13. The thickness of the porous layer formed in the first anodizing step is not limited to the above example, and for example, several hundreds of micrometers to 0.1 micrometer is preferable. The thickness of the porous layer formed in the second anodization treatment step is not limited to the above example, and may be appropriately changed according to the state of the next separation treatment step.
Porous layer 12 may have one or three or more layers.
Next, the substrate is oxidized in an air atmosphere at 400 ° C. for 1 hour. By the oxidation treatment, the inner wall of the hole in the porous layer 12 is covered with a thermal oxide film. A 0.3 탆 thick single crystal Si layer 13 is epitaxially grown on the porous Si layer 12 by CVD (chemical vapor deposition) (FIG. 1B). Growth conditions are as follows. In the initial state of epitaxial growth, the surface of the porous Si layer 12 is exposed to H 2 . Thus, the hole on the surface is filled to form a flat surface.

On the surface of the epitaxially grown single crystal Si layer, a 200 nm thick SiO 2 layer 14 is formed by thermal oxidation (FIG. 1B). By the above process, the first substrate 10 is obtained. An Si substrate (second substrate) having the same size as that of the first substrate 10 is produced. The surface of the SiO 2 layer of the first substrate 10 and the center position of the second substrate 20 are shifted in close contact with each other. The resulting structure is annealed at 1,180 ° C. for 5 minutes to form a bonded laminate substrate 30, as shown in FIG. 2 with protrusions (FIG. 1C). In Example 2, both substrates are joined by shifting the center of the first substrate 10 by 0.1 nm from the center of the second substrate 20.
As shown in FIG. 8, the portion on the opposite side of the protrusion of the bonded substrate stack 30 is supported by the support 203 of the processing apparatus 200. In this state, the wedge 210 is inserted about 1.5 mm into the gap of the protrusion of the bonded laminated substrate 30 parallel to the bonded boundary surface of the bonded laminated substrate 30 (FIG. 1D). As the wedge 210, a PTFE wedge having a tip angle of 20 ° is used. By carrying out the above treatment, a bonded laminated substrate 30 having a separation start portion can be obtained.
As shown in FIG. 4, the bonded laminated substrate 30 is installed in the processing apparatus 100 so that the separation start portion 40 of the bonded laminated substrate 30 faces the spray nozzle 105.
Separation is started by injecting a fluid into the separation start unit 40 at a pressure of 400 kgf / cm 2 from the injection nozzle 105 having a diameter of 0.1 mm. Next, when the bonded laminated substrate 30 is rotated, separation advances, and the bonded laminated substrate 30 is separated into two substrates in the porous layer 12a (FIG. 1E).
The porous layer 12b remaining on the surface of the second substrate 20 'after separation is selectively etched using a mixed solution of 49% hydrofluoric acid, 30% hydrogen peroxide and water as an etching solution (FIG. 1F). By executing the above process, an SOI substrate as shown in Fig. 1F is obtained.
The porous layer 12b remaining on the surface of the single crystal Si substrate 11 is selectively etched using a mixed solution of 49% hydrofluoric acid, 30% hydrogen peroxide and water as an etching solution (Fig. 1G).

As the second substrate 20, an Si substrate having an oxide film formed on its surface and an insulating substrate (for example, a quartz substrate) or a light transmissive substrate (for example, a quartz substrate) may be used instead of the single crystal Si substrate.

The single crystal silicon substrate is subjected to two-step anodization in an HF solution to form a porous Si substrate 12 including two layers of porous layers having different porosities on the surface of the single crystal Si substrate (FIG. 1A). Anodization treatment conditions are as follows.

The thickness of the porous layer formed in the second anodization step is not limited to the above example, and may be appropriately changed according to the conditions of the following separation step.
Porous layer 12 has one or three or more layers.
Next, the substrate is subjected to oxidation treatment at 400 ° C. for about 1 hour in an oxygen atmosphere. By performing the oxidation treatment, the inner wall of the hole in the porous layer 12 is covered with a thermal oxide film. A 0.3 micrometer thick single crystal Si layer 13 is epitaxially grown on the porous Si layer 12 by CVD (chemical vapor deposition) (FIG. 1B). Growth conditions are as follows. In the initial stage of epitaxial growth, the surface of the porous Si layer 12 is exposed to H 2 , whereby holes in the surface are filled to form a flat surface.
<Epitaxial Growth Conditions>
Source gas: SiH 2 cl 2 / H 2
Gas flow rate: 0.5 / 180 (1 / min)
Gas pressure: 80 (Torr)
Temperature: 950 (℃)
Growth rate: 0.30 (㎛ / min)
On the surface of the epitaxially grown single crystal Si layer 13, a 200 nm thick SiO layer 14 is formed by thermal oxidation. The first substrate 10 is obtained by the above process.
An Si substrate (second substrate) 20 having the same size as that of the first substrate 10 is manufactured. The surface of the SiO 2 layer 14 of the first substrate and the center position of the second substrate 20 are shifted in close contact with each other. The synthetic substrate is annealed at 1,180 ° C. for 5 minutes to form a bonded laminated substrate 30 having protrusions, as shown in FIG. 2 (FIG. 1C). In Example (3), the two substrates are bonded while shifting the center of the first substrate 10 and the center of the second substrate 20 by 0.1 mm.
As shown in FIG. 9, the plurality of bonded substrate stacks 30 are accommodated in the carrier 310 with its protrusions facing down. Thereafter, the carrier 310 is placed in the treatment tank 301. The carrier 310 is filled with pure water so that the protrusions of the bonded substrate stack 30 are immersed. The vibration source is operated for about 1 hour to form a separation start portion in each bonded substrate stack 30 (FIG. 1E).
Instead of pure water, an etchant can also be preferably used. In this case, the vibration source 302 preferably operates to supply vibration energy to the protrusions. Even when vibration energy is not supplied to the protruding portion, the separation start portion can be formed by the etching action of the etching liquid. An example of the use of etching liquid is demonstrated. The protrusions of the bonded substrate substrate were immersed in hydrofluoric acid to remove the insulating layer (SiO 2 layer) from the protrusions, and then the protrusions were immersed in fluoronitric acid to remove the single crystal Si layer 13 from the protrusions, and finally, at the protrusions. It is preferable to remove the porous layer 12.
As shown in FIG. 4, the bonded substrate stack 30 is installed in the processing apparatus 100 while the separation start portion 40 of the bonded substrate stack 30 faces the spray nozzle 40. Separation is started by injecting a fluid of 400 kgf / cm 2 pressure into the separation start section 40 from the injection nozzle having a diameter of 0.1 nm. Subsequently, when separation is performed while rotating the bonded substrate stack 30, the bonded substrate stack 30 is separated into two substrates in the porous layer 12a (FIG. 1E).
The porous layer 12b remaining on the surface of the second substrate 20 'after separation is selectively etched using a mixed solution composed of 49% hydrofluoric acid, 30% hydrogen peroxide and water as an etching solution (FIG. 1F). By carrying out this process, an SOI substrate as shown in Fig. 1F can be obtained.
The porous layer 12b remaining on the surface of the single crystal Si substrate can be selectively etched using a mixed solution composed of 49% hydrofluoric acid, 30% hydrogen peroxide and water as an etching solution (Fig. 1G).
Instead of the single crystal Si layer 13, for example, another Si layer such as a polycrystalline Si layer or an amorphous Si layer may be formed, or a Ge layer, a SiGe layer, a SiC layer, a C layer, and a compound semiconductor (for example, For example, GaAs, InP, or GaN) may be formed.
As the second substrate 20, instead of a single crystal Si substrate, an Si substrate having an oxide film formed on its surface, an insulating substrate (for example, a quartz substrate, or a light transmissive substrate (for example, a quartz substrate) may be used.
Example 4
First, in order to form the first substrate 10, for example, a P-type or n-type single crystal Si substrate 11 having a specific resistance of 0.01 Ωcm is manufactured. The single crystal Si substrate 11 is subjected to two-step anodization treatment in an HF solution to form a porous Si substrate 12 including two layers of porous layers having different porosities on the surface of the single crystal Si substrate (FIG. 1A). . The polarization conditions are as follows.
<First polarization condition>
Current density: 7 (mA / ㎠)
Anodic solution: HF: H 2 O: C 2 H 5 OH = 1: 1: 1
Processing time: 5 (min)
Porous Si Thickness: 4.5 (㎛)
<Second polarization condition>
Current density: 30 (mA / ㎠)
Anodic solution: HF: H 2 O: C 2 H 5 OH = 1: 1: 1
Processing time: 10 (min)
Porous Si Thickness: 0.2 (㎛)
In Example (4), the porous layer 12 has a two-layer structure. The surface layer porous layer formed in the first step using low current is used to form a high quality epitaxial Si layer 13. The lower porous layer formed in the second step using the high current is used as the separation layer. The thickness of the porous layer formed in the first anodizing step is not limited to the above examples, and for example, several hundred micrometers to 0.1 micrometer is preferable. In addition, the thickness of the porous layer formed in the second anodizing step may be appropriately changed in accordance with the state of the subsequent separation treatment process.
The porous layer 12 may have a structure of one layer or three or more layers.
Next, oxidation treatment is performed for about 1 hour at a temperature of 400 캜 in the substrate oxygen atmosphere. By carrying out the oxidation treatment, the inner wall of the hole in the porous layer 12 is covered with a thermal oxide film.
On the porous Si, a single crystal Si layer 13 having a thickness of 0.3 mu m is grown in a lamination by CVD (chemical vapor deposition) (FIG. 1B). Growth conditions are as follows. In the initial state of epitaxial growth, by exposing the surface of the porous Si layer to H 2 , holes in the surface are filled to form a flat surface.
<Epitaxial Growth Conditions>
Source gas: SiH 2 cl 2 / H 2
Gas flow rate: 0.5 / 180 (1 / min)

Growth rate: 0.30 (㎛ / min)
A 200 nm thick SiO 2 layer is formed on the surface of the epitaxially grown single crystal Si layer 13 by thermal oxidation. The first substrate 10 is obtained by the above process.
An Si substrate (second substrate) 20 having a diameter 0.5 mm smaller than the diameter of the first substrate is produced. The surface of the SiO 2 layer of the first substrate and the second substrate 20 are brought into close contact with each other while the center of the first substrate coincides with the center of the second substrate. The composite structure was heat treated at 1,180 DEG C for 5 minutes to form a bonded laminated substrate having protrusions, as shown in Fig. 2 (Fig. 1C).
The first substrate 10 and the second substrate having the same size are brought into close contact with each other, and heat-treated to form a bonded laminate substrate, and then edge grinding or the like to form the second substrate 20 of the bonded substrate stack. The protrusion may be formed by polishing the outer peripheral portion.
As shown in FIG. 6, the bonded laminated substrate 30 is installed in the processing apparatus 100 while the protrusion of the bonded laminated substrate 30 faces the spray nozzle 105. From the injection nozzle 105 having a diameter of 0.1 mm, a fluid of 400 kgf / cm &lt; 2 &gt; pressure (reduced in this embodiment) is sprayed on the protrusion to form a separation start portion 40 on the bonded laminated substrate 30 (Fig. 1D). ).
As shown in Fig. 7, the fluid is ejected from the injection nozzle 105, and the rotation of the bonded substrate stack is started. Then, when the bonded substrate stack 30 is rotated, the bonded substrate stack is completely separated from the porous layer 12 (Fig. 1E).
After separation, the porous layer 12b remaining on the surface of the second substrate 20 'can be selectively etched using a mixed solution of 49% hydrofluoric acid, 30% hydrogen peroxide and water as an etching solution (FIG. 1F). By performing the above process, an SOI substrate as shown in Fig. 1F is obtained.
The porous layer 12b remaining on the surface of the single crystal Si substrate can be selectively etched using a mixed solution of 49% hydrofluoric acid, 30% hydrogen peroxide and water as an etching solution (Fig. 1G).
Instead of the single crystal Si layer 13, for example, another Si layer such as a polycrystalline silicon layer or an amorphous Si layer may be formed, or a Ge layer, a SiGe layer, a SiC layer, a C layer, and a compound semiconductor (eg For example, GaAs, InP, or GaN) may be formed.
As the second substrate, instead of the single crystal Si substrate, an Si substrate having an oxide film formed on the surface, an insulating substrate (for example, a quartz substrate, or a light transmissive substrate (for example, a quartz substrate) may be used.
Example 5
In Example (5), a porous layer (microcavity layer) is formed by ion implantation.
First, a SiO 2 layer having a thickness of 200 μm is formed on the surface of a single crystal Si substrate by thermal oxidation. Ions are implanted through the SiO 2 layer of the single crystal Si substrate so that the projection range corresponds to the predetermined length of the single crystal Si substrate. By the ion implantation process, a porous layer (ion implantation layer or microcavity layer) 12 and a single crystal Si layer are formed on the same substrate as the first substrate 10 shown in FIG. 1B, that is, the single crystal Si substrate 11. A substrate having 13 and an insulating layer is formed.
The surface of the SiO 2 layer of the first substrate is brought into close contact with the surface of the 8 inch Si substrate (second substrate) 20 separately prepared. Heat treatment is performed at 600 ° C. for 10 hours to increase the bond strength. A bonded laminate substrate as shown in FIG. 1C can be obtained. In Example 5, the two substrates are joined while shifting the center of the first substrate and the center of the second substrate by about 0.1 mm.
As shown in FIG. 3, the bonded laminated substrate 30 is installed in the processing apparatus 100 while the protrusion of the bonded laminated substrate 30 faces the spray nozzle 105. A jet of fluid (in this case, water is used) is injected into the protrusion for a few seconds from the injection nozzle 105 having a diameter of 0.1 mm at a pressure of 500 kgf / cm 2 to form a separation start portion 40 on the bonded laminated substrate (Fig. 1D).
As shown in FIG. 4, while injecting the fluid into the separation start unit 40, the pressure of the fluid injected from the injection nozzle 105 is reduced to 400 kgf / cm 2.
As shown in FIG. 4, the bonded laminate substrate is completely separated from the porous layer 12 while rotating the bonded laminate substrate 30 (FIG. 1E).
After separation, the porous layer 12b remaining on the surface of the second substrate 20 'is selectively etched using a mixed solution of 49% hydrofluoric acid, 30% hydrogen peroxide and water as an etching solution (FIG. 1F). By performing the above process, an SOI substrate as shown in Fig. 1F is obtained.
