Description
本発明は、研磨用組成物に関する。詳しくはシリコン基板を予備研磨するための研磨用組成物に関する。本出願は、2019年2月5日に出願された日本国特許出願2019-18930号に基づく優先権を主張しており、その出願の全内容は本明細書中に参照として組み入れられている。
The present invention relates to a polishing composition. Specifically, it relates to a polishing composition for preliminarily polishing a silicon substrate. This application claims priority based on Japanese Patent Application No. 2019-18930 filed on February 5, 2019, the entire content of which is incorporated herein by reference.
従来、金属や半金属、非金属、その酸化物等の材料表面に対して研磨用組成物を用いた精密研磨が行われている。例えば、半導体製品の構成要素等として用いられるシリコン基板の表面は、一般的にラッピング工程やポリシング工程を経て高品位の鏡面に仕上げられる。上記ポリシング工程は、典型的には、予備ポリシング工程(予備研磨工程)とファイナルポリシング工程(最終研磨工程)とを含む。上記予備ポリシング工程は、典型的には、粗研磨工程(一次研磨工程)および中間研磨工程(二次研磨工程)を含んでいる。この種のシリコン基板の研磨に関連する技術文献として、特許文献1が挙げられる。
Conventionally, precision polishing using a polishing composition has been performed on the surface of a material such as metal, metalloid, nonmetal, or its oxide. For example, the surface of a silicon substrate used as a component of a semiconductor product or the like is generally finished to a high quality mirror surface through a lapping process and a polishing process. The polishing step typically includes a preliminary polishing step (preliminary polishing step) and a final polishing step (final polishing step). The preliminary polishing step typically includes a rough polishing step (primary polishing step) and an intermediate polishing step (secondary polishing step). As a technical document related to the polishing of this type of silicon substrate, Patent Document 1 can be cited.
ところで、シリコン基板には、識別等の目的で、該シリコン基板の表面や裏面にレーザー光を照射することによって、バーコード、数字、記号等のマーク(ハードレーザーマーク;以下「HLM」と表記することがある。)が付されることがある。HLMの付与は、一般に、シリコン基板のラッピング工程を終えた後、ポリシング工程を開始する前に行われる。通常、HLMを付すためのレーザー光の照射によって、HLM周縁のシリコン基板表面には変質層が生じる。シリコン基板のうちHLMの部分自体は最終製品には用いられないが、HLM付与後のポリシング工程において上記変質層が適切に研磨されないと、***となって必要以上に歩留まりが低下することがあり得る。しかし、上記変質層はレーザー光のエネルギーによりポリシリコン等に変質して研磨されにくくなっているため、従来の一般的なシリコン基板用の研磨用組成物では上記***の発生を効果的に抑制することが困難であった。
By the way, a silicon substrate is irradiated with a laser beam on the front surface or the back surface of the silicon substrate for the purpose of identification or the like, so that a mark such as a bar code, a number or a symbol (hard laser mark; hereinafter referred to as “HLM”). Sometimes) is attached. Application of the HLM is generally performed after the lapping process of the silicon substrate is completed and before the polishing process is started. Irradiation of a laser beam for attaching an HLM usually causes an altered layer on the surface of the silicon substrate around the HLM. The HLM portion itself of the silicon substrate is not used for the final product, but if the above-mentioned deteriorated layer is not properly polished in the polishing step after HLM application, it may become a ridge and the yield may be reduced more than necessary. .. However, since the deteriorated layer is changed into polysilicon or the like by the energy of the laser beam and is difficult to be polished, the conventional general polishing composition for a silicon substrate effectively suppresses the occurrence of the protrusion. Was difficult.
また、研磨効率の向上を期待して高い研磨レート(単位時間当たりに研磨対象物を除去する量)を示す研磨用組成物を用いてHLMが付与されたシリコン基板を研磨した場合、上記HLM周縁以外の研磨されやすい部位が該HLM周縁部の研磨されにくい部位よりも選択的に研磨されてしまい、結果として上記HLM周縁の***(以下、単に「***」ともいう。)の解消性向上が達成されにくいことがあった。このため、研磨レートに関する実用的な要求レベルを満足しつつ、HLM周縁の***を解消する性能に優れた研磨用組成物が求められている。
Further, in the case of polishing a silicon substrate provided with an HLM with a polishing composition showing a high polishing rate (amount for removing an object to be polished per unit time) in the hope of improving polishing efficiency, the above-mentioned HLM peripheral edge Areas other than those that are easily abraded are selectively abraded more than areas that are hard to be abraded at the peripheral edge of the HLM, and as a result, improvement of the elimination of the bulge at the peripheral edge of the HLM (hereinafter, also simply referred to as “protrusion”) is achieved. It was hard to be done. Therefore, there is a demand for a polishing composition that satisfies the practical required level of the polishing rate and is excellent in the ability to eliminate the bulge at the periphery of the HLM.
本発明は、かかる点に鑑みてなされたものであり、シリコン基板の予備研磨工程に使用されて、高い研磨レートと優れたHLM周縁の***解消性とを両立して達成し得る研磨用組成物を提供することを目的とする。

The true specific gravity of silica constituting the silica particles is preferably 1.5 or more, more preferably 1.6 or more, still more preferably 1.7 or more. The polishing rate tends to increase due to an increase in the true specific gravity of silica. From this viewpoint, silica particles having a true specific gravity of 2.0 or more (for example, 2.1 or more) are particularly preferable.
