單晶碳化矽晶圓在LED照明及高功率元件市場的潛力極大,目前單晶碳化矽晶圓的製造過程面臨許多挑戰,其最重要為碳化矽之高硬度及高抗化學性特性造成在化學機械拋光(Chemical Mechanical Polishing, CMP)面臨到低材料移除率的問題。本研究在建立一套複合式能量化學機械拋光系統(Hybrid Energy Chemical Mechanical Polishing, HECMP),此系統可將較高濃度氧氣利用氣體導入裝置進入製程設備腔體,在短時間內提升拋光液以及製程空間的含氧量,在較高壓氧的環境之下,增加化學反應的速率,達到高效率拋光製程。本研究首先針對單晶碳化矽晶圓進行其不同單晶面相的材料特性分析,包括奈米壓痕試驗及次表層裂縫觀察。然後,首先進行化學機械拋光實驗,探討不同下壓力、轉速以及不同過氧化氫濃度對於材料移除效率及晶圓表面品質的影響,再以同一比較原則進行通較高壓力氧氣之複合式能量化學機械拋光,探討不同輔助氣體壓力及空間含氧量對製程的效益影響。透過兩種CMP方式於兩吋單晶4H Si-face碳化矽移除率比較,傳統CMP移除率為489 nm/hr.而HECMP系統移除率可提升為618 nm/hr.,增加26.4 %。本研究成果成功驗證複合式能量化學機械拋光系統提升單晶碳化矽基板平坦化之效益。研究結果未來可進一步應用於單晶碳化矽基板的製程參數調控和量產應用。
Monocrystalline Silicon Carbide (SiC) Substrate has a great potential for LED lighting and high energy bandgap power devices. However, there are several challenges to produce high quality SiC substracts to ensure acceptable yield and reliability. One of them is to increase the low removal rate in chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process due to its high hardness and chemical resistance. This study is to establish a Hybrid Energy Chemical Mechanical Polishing (HECMP) system with adjustable higher oxygen concentrations into CMP machine chamber by implementing gas regulating method. The higher oxygen content can enhance the chemical reaction to achieve the higher efficiency of planarization. On this study, the material properties of mono-crystalline SiC substracts have been analyzed with different crystalline orientation, including nano-indentation test and sub-surface crack observation. For CMP experiment, it’s to investigate the impact of different down pressure, platen speed and the concentration of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) of slurry on Material Removal Rate (MRR) and wafer quality. Effect of different gas pressures and contents of oxygen of HECMP have been studied and tested by 2 inch SiC wafers. The MRR of CMP and HECMP are each for 489 nm/hr. and 618 nm/hr. Result of this study can be further considered for process development for production of mono-crystalline SiC wafers.
