Establishing Correlations between UPW Quality and Particle Deposition on Silicon 300 mm WaferIn the yield enhancement report 2021 there is a call for highly controlled deposition experiments to determine the particle deposition rate on the wafer compared to the known particle count in the ultrapure water (UPW) to gain better understanding about the contamination sources on-wafer. The goal of this collaborative study between Lam Research as a tool supplier and Ovivo Switzerland as an UPW engineering company is to investigate potential correlation between UPW quality form a full scale UPW plant and particle deposition on standard silicon 300 mm wafer.

Simulation of metal contamination in wet cleaning of doped silicon waferThe main objective of wet cleaning a silicon wafer is to achieve a wafer surface free from contaminants such as particles, heavy metals, organic residues, mobile ions and oxides. Furthermore, wafer surface roughness and surface termination are becoming critical as semiconductor device geometry continues to shrink. A large amount of high-purity DI or ultrapure water (UPW) with chemicals is used during wet cleaning of a silicon wafer to remove contaminants from wafer. The wet cleaning process includes a number of individual process steps operating in sequence to remove these impurities. The primary objective of this paper is to develop an understanding of the adsorption of metallic impurities from each of these process steps and their removal by the subsequent step. Experimental simulation of metal deposition during post CMP cleaning of a silicon wafer is carried out by measuring the amount of deposited metal from a metal-contaminated chemical bath. In a similar manner metal removal by a clean chemical bath is determined by measurement of the surface metals on a wafer, following the processing in a metal-contaminated bath. This investigation provides information on the behavior of metal adsorption and metal desorption from chemical baths containing multiple metals. Both P-type and N-type wafers with different doping levels were used in order to evaluate the effect of doping on adsorption and desorption process. The metal adsorption and desorption are discussed in relation to solution pH and the nature of metal ions involved. This simulation was performed to gain a better understanding of the adsorption/desorption behaviour of metal ions in a multi-metal environment and can be used for the determination of acceptable contamination tolerance for the incoming wafer and permissible contamination levels for each cleaning step of a front-end line (FEOL) wet cleaning process. This article was originally published in the Ultrapure Micro Journal in February 2018.
