Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
この発明は基板保持装置、特に半導体ウエハ等の半導体基板を研磨する研磨装置における基板保持装置に関するものである。また、この基板保持装置を用いて半導体基板を研磨する研磨方法に関するものである。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
半導体製造装置においては、半導体基板を自動で交換する必要があるために、半導体基板を基板保持装置に保持して研磨等の表面処理や加工を行う際に、半導体基板設置面と半導体基板とを接着して加工を行うことができない。従って、半導体基板表面を研磨するにあたって、半導体基板設置面に半導体基板を吸着保持する方法がとられていた。従来の研磨装置における基板保持装置は、トップリングと、このトップリングに設けられ、半導体基板外周部に設けられるリテーナリングと、トップリング内に設けられ、弾性膜で覆われると共に内部に流体が供給される流体室と、半導体基板を上記弾性膜に吸着させる吸着機構とを備えており、弾性膜の表面を洗浄後、半導体基板を吸着機構により弾性膜に吸着保持させて研磨装置の研磨面に移動し、その後、流体室内に加圧流体を供給することにより弾性膜を介して半導体基板に均一な荷重を加え、半導体基板を研磨装置の研磨面に押圧して半導体基板の研磨を行っていた(例えば、特許文献1参照。)。
【0003】
また、半導体基板を基板保持装置の弾性膜に吸着保持させる方法として、半導体基板と接触する弾性膜を例えば柔軟な発泡ポリウレタンフィルム等により構成し、この発泡ポリウレタンフィルムを湿潤させて、その水の表面張力によって半導体基板を発泡ポリウレタンフィルム面上に固定(水吸着)させる方法があった(例えば、非特許文献1参照。)。

【発明が解決しようとする課題】
従来の基板保持装置では、半導体基板を加圧し、半導体基板に均一な荷重を与えて研磨を行うと、半導体基板が空転してしまい研磨量の不均一が生じる問題があった。これを防止するために、回転数に偏差を与えて空転分を補い、均一な研磨が可能となるようにしているが、半導体基板の研磨加工面の状態により摩擦係数が異なるため、半導体基板の加工表面に施した処理ごとに回転数補正値を変更しなければならなかった。更に多層に膜を積層した半導体基板の場合は、加工が進むに従って表面状態が変わるため均一な加工をすることが難しかった。
【0006】
この発明は上記のような問題点を解消するためになされたもので、回転数偏差を与えることなく、半導体基板の空転を防止することが可能な基板保持装置を提供することを目的とする。
また、回転数偏差を与えることなく、半導体基板の空転を防止することが可能な半導体基板の研磨方法を提供することを目的とする。
【0007】
【課題を解決するための手段】
本発明の基板保持装置は、被研磨基板である半導体基板を保持するトップリング、上記半導体基板の外周部に設けられたリテーナリング、及び上記トップリング内に設けられ、上記半導体基板を弾性膜を介して加圧することにより上記半導体基板を研磨装置の研磨面に押圧する加圧機構を備えた基板保持装置において、上記半導体基板と接触する弾性膜の表面に溝を設けたものである。
【0008】
また、半導体基板の研磨方法としては、基板保持装置における半導体基板設置面に設けた弾性膜表面が液体で濡れた状態で、上記弾性膜表面に半導体基板を吸着保持する工程、上記弾性膜を介して上記半導体基板を加圧することにより上記半導体基板を研磨装置の研磨面に押圧し、上記半導体基板を研磨する工程、及び研磨の際の遠心力により、上記弾性膜と上記半導体基板との間にある上記液体を、上記弾性膜の表面に設けられた溝を介して排出させる工程を施すものである。
【0009】
【発明の実施の形態】
実施の形態1.
図1はこの発明の実施の形態1による基板保持装置を示す断面構成図である。図1において、基板保持装置10は被研磨基板である半導体基板1を保持するトップリング2と、半導体基板1の外周部に設けられたリテーナリング3と、トップリング内に設けられた流体室(加圧機構)6と、トップリング2の上方に設けられたトップリング駆動軸7とを備えている。リテーナリング3はトップリング2に固定されるかまたは一体に設けられている。トップリング2とリテーナリング3とで形成された空間内には弾性膜4と弾性膜支持部材5とが収容され、気密構造の流体室6が形成されている。流体室6には研磨時に加圧空気等の加圧流体が供給され、半導体基板1は弾性膜4を介して研磨装置の研磨面に押圧される。弾性膜4はゴム材等より構成されており、半導体基板1が接触する面には図2に示すような放射状の溝4aが設けられている。また、流体室6内には吸着機構8及びストッパプレート9が設けられている。吸着機構8は半導体基板1を基板保持装置10に着脱自在に吸着保持するものであり、研磨装置へ半導体基板1を移動する際等に機能する。吸着機構8は例えば図1に示すように、複数の貫通孔8aと複数の球面状の凹部8bとを有し、流体室内を負圧にして弾性膜4を凹部8bに倣うように変形させることにより、凹部8bを吸盤として機能させて半導体基板1を弾性膜4に吸着させる。ストッパプレート9は、加圧時における弾性膜支持部材5の下方への移動が所定範囲となるように規制するものである。
【0010】
次に、このような構成の基板保持装置を用いて半導体基板を研磨する方法を示す。
先ず、弾性膜4で構成された基板保持装置10の半導体基板設置面を洗浄液を用いて洗浄する。その後、設置面が水に濡れた状態で半導体基板1を弾性膜4に接触させ、流体室6を負圧にして吸着機構8を機能させ、半導体基板1を設置面に吸着保持する。次に、半導体基板1が吸着保持された基板保持装置10を研磨装置の研磨面上に移動する。次に、流体室6に加圧流体を供給して、半導体基板1を研磨装置の研磨面に押圧すると共に、研磨装置の研磨面上に研磨液を供給しながら研磨面を回転させ、半導体基板1を研磨する。この時、弾性膜4と半導体基板1との間には洗浄の際に用いた洗浄液が残っており、この状態のままで研磨面が回転すると、弾性膜4と半導体基板1との間に介在する洗浄液が原因で半導体基板が空転する。本実施の形態の基板保持装置10は半導体基板1と接触する弾性膜4の表面に溝4aを設けているので、弾性膜4と半導体基板1との間に介在する洗浄液は、研磨の際の遠心力により、弾性膜4の表面に設けられた溝4aへ流れ込み、排出される。
【0011】
これにより、半導体基板1と弾性膜4とが液体を介することなく直接接触するので、半導体基板の空転が防止でき、トップリング1の回転数に偏差を与えることなく研磨することが可能となる。
【0012】
次に、弾性膜4の表面に設けられる溝4の寸法について具体的に説明する。半導体基板1と弾性膜4との間に介在する液体が、膜との研磨の際の遠心力により、溝4aを通り効果的に排出され、かつ弾性膜4と半導体基板1とが密着された状態で効果的に研磨されるようにするためには、溝4aの幅は2mm以下、深さは0.5mm以下、弾性膜表面の溝の全体積は600mm以上が好ましく、幅2mm、深さ0.5mmの放射状の溝4aなら、4本以上の溝4aが、幅2mm、深さ0.2mmの放射状の溝4aなら8本以上の溝4aが必要である。
【0013】
なお、上記実施の形態では溝4aを放射状に設けたが、弾性膜4と半導体基板1との間に残っている洗浄液を、研磨の際の遠心力により排出させるものであれば、上記形状に限らない。
図3、図4は弾性膜4に設ける溝の他の例を示す図であり、図3は格子状の溝4b、図4はらせん状の溝4cである。
このような形状の溝によっても、上記実施の形態と同様の効果を奏する。
【0014】
また、上記実施の形態において、吸着機構8は貫通穴8aと凹部8bにより吸盤を構成して半導体基板1を吸着するものを示したが、他の吸着機構により半導体基板を保持するようにしてもよい。
また、このような吸着機構を設けず、弾性膜表面を液体で濡らし、この状態で半導体基板を弾性膜表面に水吸着させるようにするものであってもよい。
【0015】
【発明の効果】
以上のように、この発明によれば、被研磨基板である半導体基板を保持するトップリング、上記半導体基板の外周部に設けられたリテーナリング、及び上記トップリング内に設けられ、上記半導体基板を弾性膜を介して加圧することにより上記半導体基板を研磨装置の研磨面に押圧する加圧機構を備えた基板保持装置において、上記半導体基板と接触する弾性膜の表面に溝を設けたので、溝により半導体基板と弾性膜との間に存在する液体を排水して、両者を密着させることが可能となるため、研磨加工時の半導体基板の空転を防止することができる。
【0016】
また、基板保持装置における半導体基板設置面に設けた弾性膜表面が液体で濡れた状態で、上記弾性膜表面に半導体基板を吸着保持する工程、上記弾性膜を介して上記半導体基板を加圧することにより上記半導体基板を研磨装置の研磨面に押圧し、上記半導体基板を研磨する工程、及び研磨の際の遠心力により、上記弾性膜と上記半導体基板との間にある上記液体を、上記弾性膜の表面に設けられた溝を介して排出させる工程を施すことにより、研磨加工時の半導体基板の空転を防止することができる。

[Problems to be solved by the invention]
In a conventional substrate holding apparatus, when a semiconductor substrate is pressed and polished while a uniform load is applied to the semiconductor substrate, the semiconductor substrate spins, causing a problem of non-uniform polishing amount.

The rotation speed correction value had to be changed for each treatment performed on the processing surface. Further, in the case of a semiconductor substrate in which films are stacked in multiple layers, it is difficult to perform uniform processing because the surface state changes as the processing proceeds.
