Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a substrate processing apparatus and method, and more particularly, to a substrate processing method for selectively etching a substrate surface.
In general, an etching process used for manufacturing a semiconductor device refers to a manufacturing process of processing a film (for example, a metal film, an oxide film, a polycrystalline silicon film, or a photoresist film) formed on a semiconductor substrate into a desired pattern .
Such etching processes include chemical etching, plasma etching, ion beam, and reactive ion etching. In recent years, a chemical etching method has been used to etch a semiconductor substrate A spin etching method in which a chemical solution is injected while spinning is widely used.
In the spin etching process, a central supply method for spraying the etching solution to the center of the semiconductor substrate and a scan supply method for spraying the chemical solution while moving to the edge in the central region of the semiconductor substrate are used.
1 is a view showing a semiconductor substrate W provided in an etching process.
Referring to FIG. 1, the thickness of the thin film deposited on the substrate W differs depending on the region of the substrate W. In the process of forming a thin film on the substrate W, a region where the thickness of the thin film is thicker than other regions such as a selective area (SA) is generated.
In the case where the substrate is processed by a spin etching process, since the thin film on the surface of the substrate is removed while the chemical liquid injected onto the substrate flows from the center to the edge of the substrate by centrifugal force, it is impossible to adjust the etching rate for each part of the semiconductor substrate.
Therefore, even after the etchant is uniformly supplied to the entire surface of the substrate and the etching is completed, the selective region remains thicker than the other regions. This causes process failures in subsequent processes.
Embodiments of the present invention are intended to provide a substrate processing method capable of selective etching according to defective scattering in all steps.
The objects of the present invention are not limited thereto, and other objects not mentioned can be clearly understood by those skilled in the art from the following description.
According to an aspect of the present invention, there is provided a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device, comprising: setting a selection region to be etched on a substrate; Loading the substrate onto a spin chuck such that the selected region is located at the center of the spin chuck; And etching the selected region by providing an etchant to a selected region of the substrate rotated by moving the nozzle to the center of the spin chuck.
The setting step may include measuring a thickness of the thin film on the substrate; And setting the selection region by analyzing the measured thin film thickness.
Also, the loading step may load the substrate on the spin chuck such that the selected region is located at the rotation center of the spin chuck.
The setting step may further include setting a center of the selection area.
The loading step may load the substrate on the spin chuck such that the center of the selection area coincides with the rotation center of the spin chuck.
In the step of etching the selected region, the etching range may be controlled by adjusting the rotation speed of the spin chuck and the amount of the etching solution injected from the nozzle.
In addition, the spin chuck can fix the substrate by vacuum.
According to the present invention, the selective region can be locally etched by rotating the spin chuck at a low speed so that the selected region coincides with the rotation center of the spin chuck so as to be eccentric.
According to the present invention, it is possible to control the etching amount of each substrate portion.

FIG.
4 to 5C, a substrate processing method includes a step S100 of setting a selection area of a substrate W, a step S200 of loading a substrate on a spin head, And etching (S300).
In the step S100 of setting the selected region of the substrate, the thickness of the deposited film on the substrate is measured using the thin
The step of loading the substrate onto the spin head places the substrate on the spin head such that the center of the selected area of the substrate coincides with the center of rotation of the spin head. Whether the center of rotation of the spin head coincides with the center of the selected area can be checked by a camera installed at the top of the process chamber.
The step of etching the selected region causes the spin head to rotate at a low speed, and the etchant is injected into the selected region after the injection nozzle is moved to the center of the selected region. The control unit adjusts the rotation speed of the spin head and the injection amount of the etching liquid so as to prevent the etching liquid from being pushed out of the selection area. That is, the size of the etching region can be controlled according to the rotation speed of the spin head and the amount of the etching solution supplied. As described above, the etching of the selective region reduces the thin film thickness of the selected region and the thin film thickness difference of the adjacent region.
As described above, local selective etching is possible by supplying a small amount of etchant to the center of rotation while rotating the substrate at a low speed so as to be eccentric to the spin head by positioning a desired selection region at the rotation center of the spin head.
The foregoing description is merely illustrative of the technical idea of the present invention, and various changes and modifications may be made by those skilled in the art without departing from the essential characteristics of the present invention. Therefore, the embodiments disclosed in the present invention are intended to illustrate rather than limit the scope of the present invention, and the scope of the technical idea of the present invention is not limited by these embodiments. The scope of protection of the present invention should be construed according to the following claims, and all technical ideas within the scope of equivalents should be construed as falling within the scope of the present invention.
