In the preferred embodiment of the present invention, the clean method of this substrate can be used for cleaning on a silicon substrate
Native oxide, native oxide on fin structure or the native oxide on nano wire.Citing
For, the method for the present invention can be used for the silicon base cleaning formed before gate pole oxidation layer, as it is shown in figure 1,
First, after the clean method clean substrate 10 of the substrate of the present invention, gate pole oxidation layer 40 is formed in base
On the surface 11 at the end 10, form high dielectric material layer 50 the most again on gate pole oxidation layer 40, at base
The end 10 cleaned before or cleaned while, substrate 10 is not also cut.
What Fig. 2 illustrated is the flow chart of the clean method of the substrate of the present invention.What Fig. 3 illustrated is deionization
Contact angle schematic diagram between water and substrate.Fig. 4 is the deionized water top view in suprabasil distribution.
What Fig. 5 illustrated is the contact angle schematic diagram between the carbonated water of the present invention and substrate.Fig. 6 is that carbonated water exists
The top view of suprabasil distribution.As shown in the step 100 of Fig. 2 and Fig. 1, first provide substrate 10,
Substrate 10 can be at the bottom of wafer, silicon base, germanio, GaAs substrate, silicon-Germanium base, indium phosphide
The end, nitridation gallio, silicon carbide substrate, silicon-coated insulated substrate or silicon cover substrate of glass, and substrate 10 is permissible
Include active region, fin structure or nano wire etc., as described in step 200, use the first flushing
Liquid rinses the surface 11 of substrate 10, and the first flushing liquor can be one of deionized water or carbonated water, front
The carbonic acid water system stated utilizes carbon dioxide (CO2) be dissolved in deionized water and formed, the electricity of carbonated water
Resistance is preferably smaller than 0.05 megohm-centimetre (M Ω-cm), and its pH value is less than 7, preferably carbonated water
PH value less than 5.First flushing liquor is preferably maintained at 24 degree Celsius, but the most real according to other
Executing example, the first flushing liquor can also be other temperature.
Then, as shown in the step 300 of Fig. 2, with the surface 11 of the hydrofluoric acid clean substrate 10 of dilution,
Fluohydric acid. can remove the native oxide on the surface 11 of substrate 10, but clear at the Fluohydric acid. with dilution
After washing, the surface 11 of substrate 10 can be in hydrophobicity.That is as it is shown on figure 3, dilution hydrogen fluorine
After acid is cleaned, when continuing to rinse substrate 10 with pure deionized water 20, pure deionized water 20 He
Angle theta between the surface 11 of substrate 10 can be more than 90 degree, if being in other words to continue with deionization
When water 20 cleans substrate 10, deionized water 20 can easily form water droplet on the surface 11 of substrate 10,
As shown in Figure 4, deionized water 20 can form discontinuous form on the surface 11 of substrate 10,
This this discontinuous form is called discontinuous moisture film, and deionized water 20 just cannot be with continuously thus
Moisture film rinse out the microgranule that the Fluohydric acid. of dilution is washed down, furthermore discontinuous moisture film is also in substrate
The washmarking (water mark) being partially formed.
Referring once again to Fig. 2, the most in the present invention, the second flushing liquor is used the most in step 400
Afterflush substrate immediately followed by the Fluohydric acid. in dilution, say, that in the hydrofluoric acid clean substrate of dilution
And second flushing liquor rinse between substrate, there is no other cleaning.Second flushing liquor is carbonated water,
Aforesaid carbonic acid water system utilizes carbon dioxide (CO2) be dissolved in deionized water and formed, carbonated water
Resistance value is preferably smaller than 0.05 megohm-centimetre (M Ω-cm), and its pH value is less than 7, preferably carbonic acid
The pH value of water is less than 5, and the second flushing liquor is preferably maintained at 24 degree Celsius, but preferred according to other
Embodiment, the second flushing liquor can also be other temperature.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the present invention
Carbonated water do not contain any surfactant.According to another preferred embodiment of the invention, carbonated water is not
Containing alkaline solution.It should be noted that: when carbonated water resistance value less than 0.05 megohm-centimetre
(M Ω-cm), and when its pH value is less than 7, as it is shown in figure 5, carbonated water 30 and the table of substrate 10
The contact angle α in face 11 can be less than 30 degree, say, that carbonated water 30 is on the surface 11 of substrate 10
Having low surface tension, as shown in Figure 6, little contact angle α makes carbonated water 30 on substrate 10 surface
11 form continuous print form, and referred herein to this continuous print form is continuous print moisture film, consequently, it is possible to dilution
Microgranule that Fluohydric acid. is washed down and the washmarking formed in the hydrofluoric acid clean step of dilution, so that it may
To be rinsed along continuous print moisture film.Additionally, the carbonated water of the present invention does not contains any surfactant,
It is entirely by carbonic acid to make contact angle α be less than 30 degree, and reaches the characteristic of low surface tension.It addition,
It is found by the applicant that the pH value of carbonated water is the lowest, the contact angle on itself and surface can be the least, therefore carbonated water
PH value can adjust depending on different demands.
Afterwards as shown in the step 500 of Fig. 2, use standard cleaning liquid, be also called SC1 cleanout fluid clear
Washing substrate, standard cleaning liquid is for comprising the mixed of hydrogen peroxide and ammonium hydroxide (hydroxide ammonium)
Close liquid, by hydrogen peroxide, substrate surface is aoxidized, simultaneously by the etching of Ammonia
Acting on, the micropartical and the Organic substance that will attach to substrate surface remove from substrate surface, and by silicon base
The machining damage on surface is removed.According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, standard cleaning liquid is preferably low
Being carried out under temperature, temperature is about 24 degree Celsius, but according to other preferred embodiment, standard cleaning
Liquid can also be other temperature.
Then, as shown in the step 600 of Fig. 2, after standard cleaning liquid cleans substrate, the 3rd flushing is utilized
Liquid rushes at the bottom of liquid-based, and the 3rd flushing liquor punching can be one of deionized water or carbonated water, aforesaid carbonated water
System utilizes carbon dioxide (CO2) be dissolved in ionized water and formed, the resistance value of carbonated water is preferably smaller than
0.05 megohm-centimetre (M Ω-cm), its pH value is less than 7, and the preferably pH value of carbonated water is less than 5,
3rd flushing liquor is preferably maintained at 24 degree Celsius, but according to other preferred embodiment, the 3rd rinses
Liquid can also be other temperature.Owing to, after standard cleaning liquid cleans substrate, the surface of substrate also can be in dredging
Aqueous, if using merely deionized water rinsing, similarly can form discontinuous moisture film at substrate surface,
Cannot rinse completely, and use resistance value to be less than 0.05 megohm-centimetre (M Ω-cm), and its
PH value be less than 7, the carbonated water of preferably smaller than 5 rinses, then utilize have between carbonated water and substrate little
The characteristic of contact angle so that carbonated water forms continuous print moisture film, is removed by microgranule.Step such as Fig. 2
Shown in 700, being dried substrate after the 3rd flushing liquor rinses substrate, its drying mode can be by by substrate
High-speed rotary transfers to be reached.In substrate, form gate pole oxidation layer after drying, be subsequently formed high dielectric material
After the elements such as material, gate, interlayer dielectric layer, metal interconnecting, begin to carry out the cutting of substrate.
According to a preferred embodiment of the invention, the first flushing liquor, the second flushing liquor and the 3rd flushing liquor are all
Use carbonated water can reach preferable cleaning effect.Additionally, the first flushing liquor, the second flushing liquor and the 3rd
