Description of the Related Art Metallic impurities surrounded by an oxide film on the surface of a Si wafer for semiconductors are decomposed by vapor phase hydrofluoric acid, and the surface is scanned with a droplet of dilute hydrofluoric acid. A method has been developed in which metal impurities are recovered, concentrated on a Si wafer, evaporated to dryness, and the dry solid portion is analyzed by a total reflection X-ray fluorescence analyzer. It is known that the sensitivity of analysis can be greatly improved by increasing the ratio of. In this case, Si treated with hydrofluoric acid
Since the surface is remarkably hydrophobicized, the analysis sample liquid containing water as a main component is in the form of droplets on the surface. Therefore, in this case, the Si wafer becomes a sample plate for analysis that evaporates to dryness.

である。In the above-mentioned analysis method, the diameter of the dry solid portion (which becomes substantially circular) of the analysis sample liquid is
The diameter is almost the same as the diameter of the droplet of dilute hydrofluoric acid scanning on the surface of the Si wafer. That is, by scanning with dilute hydrofluoric acid, the dilute hydrofluoric acid and the Si surface react according to the following formula: SiO 2 + 4HF → SiF 4 + 2H 2 O, and the produced SiF 4 is further hydrolyzed to Si (OH) 4 However, this reaction is carried out by liquid-air-on the surface of the Si wafer where evaporation to dryness is first performed.
Starting from the periphery of the droplet, which is the interface of Si,
This is because (OH) 4 is deposited to form a so-called water mark.

らず、どのような局部的表面の分析でも好ましくない。However, as a result of dissolving a trace amount of the metal impurity to be analyzed labeled with a radioisotope in a sample droplet and evaporating it to dryness to examine the dry state of the metal impurity, it was found that the metal impurity was 59 Fe, It was confirmed that, in any of 22 Na, 51 Cr and 64 Cu, significant segregation was observed in the circumferential portion of the circular dry solid portion. Such segregation is not preferable not only for total reflection X-ray fluorescence analysis but also for any local surface analysis.
【0005】上記のような偏析は、薬液として硝酸を主

It is not preferable to do.

だ、十分満足のいく方法ではない。Further, the analytical sample liquid to be dried is sucked by using a suitable thin tube, and this is discharged to reduce the liquid droplets to evaporate and dry, thereby reducing the area of the dried portion. It is considered that the segregation tendency is suppressed. This method is preferable in terms of analysis sensitivity because the area of the dry and solid portion becomes small and the ratio of the analysis area / the dry and solid area of the droplet becomes large. However, Si is used as a sample plate for evaporation to dryness.
If a wafer or the like is used, the area of the dry-solidified portion becomes smaller, but segregation tends to occur also in this sample plate, so it is not yet a sufficiently satisfactory method.

下するという問題もある。Furthermore, when the impurities in the film of the Si wafer having the oxide film or the nitride film are analyzed by the above-mentioned treatment using the vapor phase hydrofluoric acid, the SiF in the scanning droplets is analyzed.
Since the concentration of --becomes extremely high, S which is a sample plate for analysis
There is also a problem that the amount of Si compound deposited increases around the evaporative dryness of the i-wafer, and the interference of this Si significantly reduces the analytical sensitivity.

An object is to provide a suppressed sample plate for analysis.

析のための濃縮が有効に行なわれるのである。That is, in the present invention, since the surface of the sample plate on which evaporation and drying are performed is protected by the fluororesin thin film layer, the reaction between the surface Si and the sample solution such as hydrofluoric acid is effectively avoided, It is possible to effectively prevent the segregation of the metal to be analyzed as described above. Moreover, when Si enters the sample droplet of hydrofluoric acid from the analysis surface, even if a large amount of Si enters, the following formula: H 2 SiF 6 → SiF 4 ↑ The decomposition reaction represented by + 2HF ↑ occurs, Si is evaporated and scattered, and only the impurity element to be analyzed remains on the surface of the fluororesin, and the concentration for analysis is effectively performed.

It is desirable that such a support has good thermal conductivity in order to effectively condense the sample droplets by heating and does not generate impurities harmful to the analysis by the heating for concentrating the sample droplets.

This is because when it is used for line analysis, it becomes difficult to induce X-ray scattering and effectively perform analysis. Of course, in the case of local surface analysis such as Auger or ESCA, there is no such limitation, and either crystalline or amorphous fluororesin can be used. A typical amorphous fluororesin is commercially available under the trade name of Teflon AF.

The Fe distribution was measured. The results are shown in Figure 2. By comparing FIG. 1 and FIG. 2 described above, when the sample droplets are concentrated (evaporated to dryness) using the sample plate for analysis of the present invention, segregation around the dry solid part is avoided, It is also understood that the dry solidification area becomes smaller and it is effectively concentrated in the central part.

Further, there is an advantage that the spread of droplets at the time of evaporation is prevented and the dry-solid area is reduced. Of such analytical sample plates, those whose surface layer is formed of an amorphous fluororesin are particularly useful for local analysis such as total reflection X-ray fluorescence analysis.
