Abstract

The surface structure and the crystalline features in the near surface region have been investigated for CZ(Czochralski) grown Si wafers. Si wafers were annealed by RTA (Rapid Thermal Annealing) method in H$_2$ambient after mirror polished process. The densities of COPs (Crystal Originated Particles) after RTA process were remarkably decreased at the surface and in the region of 5um depth from the surface as well. terrace type surface structure which was formed by etching and re-arrangement of Si atoms during $H_2$annealing process also has been observed.

일반적인 쵸크랄스키(CZ)방법으로 성장된 실리콘 단결정봉(Ingot)을 가공하여 경면 연마한 후 RTA법으로 수소 분위기에서 열처리하여 실리콘 웨이퍼 표면 및 표면 근처의 특성 변화에 대하여 고찰하였다 수소 열처리를 통하여 표면의 COP (결정결함)가 현저히 감소하는 것을 확인하였고 깊이 5um까지의 영역에서도 결정결함의 밀도가 감소하였다. 또한 수소 열처리에 의해 실리콘 웨이퍼 표면이 에칭 및 실리콘의 재배열에 의해 형성되는 테라스(Terrace) 형태도 관찰되었다.
