Study on Uniform Deposition on 300 mm Silicon Wafer with Sub-100 nm Sized Particles for Cleaning Application

Article Preview

Abstract:

A study for uniform deposition on whole area of wafer was conducted to help check the uniformity of cleaning technology between wafer center to edge. A new method of particle deposition was devised different from the conventional studies using the center nozzle and electric field. Our deposition chamber features wafer rotating method and deposition by the principle of convection and diffusion. In this study, we focused on the effect of wafer rotation speed and rotation number to particle deposition result. After setting the optimum condition, fine results with well deposited shape on whole area of the wafer and outstanding particle size uniformity of more than 70% were obtained. Although particle size shift phenomenon occurred in the measurement result using SP5 due to the intrinsic principle, SEM analysis demonstrated that particles with 60, 80 nm sized silica particles were well deposited on wafer. We believe the standard wafer made by our particle deposition system could be utilized and helpful for performance evaluation and development of wafer cleaning technologies.
