The polishing apparatus includes a polishing platen having a polishing cloth stretched on its upper surface, and a polishing head arranged above the polishing platen so as to face it and having a silicon wafer spread on its lower surface. An annular template having a hole portion having a diameter slightly larger than the diameter of the silicon wafer inside is fixed to the lower surface of the polishing head, and the back pad is housed in the hole portion.
At the time of polishing, first, pure water is supplied to the foamed layer (nap portion) of the back pad and the back surface of the silicon wafer, and the silicon wafer is handled by the surface tension of the pure water. After that, while supplying the polishing agent (slurry) containing the alkaline etching solution onto the central portion of the polishing cloth, the silicon wafer is brought into sliding contact with the surface (polishing surface) of the polishing cloth at a predetermined relative rotation speed and a predetermined polishing pressure. Then, the surface of the silicon wafer is polished. For polished silicon wafers,
Next, washing is performed. A method called "water polishing" is known as a type of cleaning after polishing. This is to clean the polishing surface of the silicon wafer by operating the polishing device while supplying ultrapure water on the polishing cloth instead of the polishing agent (rinsing).
However, the surface roughness of the polished surface of the wafer is adjusted. As a result, the polishing abrasive grains (free abrasive grains) in the polishing agent adhered to the polishing surface of the silicon wafer during polishing are washed away.

が知られている。By the way, conventionally, when the rotating polishing cloth and / or the silicon wafer is stopped and the polishing is completed, the texture of the polishing cloth may be transferred as a grid pattern to the polishing surface of the silicon wafer. As for the texture, when polishing is finished and the rotation of the polishing platen stops,
It is considered that the alkaline etching solution in the polishing agent that has penetrated into the polishing cloth etches the polishing surface of the wafer to generate it. This texture may reduce the flatness of the polished surface of the wafer. Therefore, as a conventional technique for solving this, for example, (1) when cleaning the polishing surface of a silicon wafer, a large amount of ultrapure water is supplied to the polishing cloth to reduce the concentration of the alkaline etching solution soaked in the polishing cloth. The method is known. In addition, (2) When cleaning the polished surface of the wafer while operating the polishing machine, add an acid such as citric acid to ultrapure water at a high concentration (0.01 to 10% by weight) to remove the alkaline etching solution. Methods of neutralization are known.

があった。However, these conventional techniques have the following drawbacks. That is,
(1) Even if the polishing surface of a silicon wafer was washed with a large amount of ultrapure water, the alkaline etching solution that had soaked into the polishing cloth could not be sufficiently diluted, for example, when the polishing cloth was thick. . Further, (2) in the method of neutralizing the alkaline etching solution with high-concentration acidic washing water, a large difference occurs between the pH of the surface layer of the polishing cloth and the pH inside the polishing cloth, and the liquid soaked into the polishing cloth There was a risk that the pH of the product would become unstable. Moreover, the abrasive grains remaining on the polishing cloth
The abrupt change in pH may cause aggregation, and in such a case, the polished surface of the wafer may be scratched.

発明を完成させた。Therefore, as a result of earnest research, the inventor has found that the polished surface of a silicon wafer after cleaning is not a Si surface that is easily eroded by alkali etching but a surface that is not easily eroded by alkali etching (for example, SiO 2 of a Si oxide film). Surface) and the like, it was found that the transfer of the texture of the polishing cloth to the polishing surface of the silicon wafer is prevented, and the present invention was completed. Moreover, for example, in the case of an abrasive containing abrasive grains, it is not a conventional method of neutralizing the abrasive soaked into the polishing cloth by adding a high-concentration acidic liquid,
The pH of the liquid contained in the polishing cloth is stabilized in the entire area of the polishing cloth. Therefore, the pH of the liquid contained in the polishing cloth changes rapidly due to the supply of the high-concentration oxidizing liquid as in the conventional case,
The inventors have found that the possibility that the polishing abrasive particles remaining on the polishing cloth aggregate to cause scratches on the polishing surface of the wafer is eliminated, and the present invention has been completed.

けるというおそれも解消される。According to the present invention, the polished semiconductor wafer is processed by polishing the polishing surface of the wafer while supplying cleaning water containing low concentration hydrogen peroxide instead of the polishing agent onto the polishing cloth. It is washed while being pressed against. At this time,
Hydrogen peroxide having a low concentration is contained in the wash water. Therefore, the shallow surface layer portion on the polished surface side of the semiconductor wafer is oxidized by hydrogen peroxide, and an oxide film that is difficult to be eroded by alkali etching is formed. As a result, it is possible to prevent the texture of the polishing cloth from being transferred to the polishing surface of the semiconductor wafer after cleaning. Moreover, here, unlike the conventional method, a method of supplying a high-concentration acidic liquid onto the polishing cloth and neutralizing the alkaline abrasive impregnated in the polishing cloth is not used. Liquid pH
Then, the difference from the pH of the liquid existing inside the polishing cloth becomes smaller than in the conventional case. This stabilizes the pH of the liquid contained in the polishing cloth over the entire area of the polishing cloth. Moreover, when a polishing agent containing abrasive grains is used, the abrasive grains remaining on the polishing cloth aggregate due to a rapid change in pH due to the supply of a high-concentration acid solution, and the polished surface of this wafer is scratched. The fear of putting it on is also eliminated.

Instead of the polishing agent, the polishing surface of the semiconductor wafer is cleaned while supplying highly alkaline cleaning water to the polishing cloth. As a result, the surface layer portion of the semiconductor wafer that is dissolved by the alkaline component contained in the polishing agent becomes thicker than, for example, cleaning water having a low alkalinity. However, the dissolution reaction of the wafer due to the alkaline component hardly progresses further when it reaches a predetermined depth. In this way, the dissolution reaction is stopped, and a hydroxide film having a hydrophilic surface that is hardly corroded by alkali etching is formed on the polished surface of the wafer. As a result, it is possible to prevent the texture of the polishing cloth from being transferred to the polishing surface of the semiconductor wafer.

超純水だけを使用した洗浄は省略される。At the time of polishing, while supplying a polishing agent (slurry) for primary polishing containing abrasive grains in a 0.1 wt% organic amine solution to the polishing cloth 11 through the slurry nozzle 16, The silicon wafer W is brought into sliding contact with the surface (polishing surface) of the polishing cloth 11 at a predetermined relative rotation speed and a predetermined polishing pressure to roughly polish the surface of the silicon wafer W. When polishing with a polishing agent containing polishing abrasive grains in this way, the alkaline component in the polishing agent reacts with Si exposed on the polishing surface of the silicon wafer W, and the silicon wafer W
The surface layer of is thinly dissolved. The melted surface layer portion is mechanically removed by the polishing abrasive grains in the polishing agent and the polishing cloth 11. The silicon wafer W thus obtained is then water-polished by using the polishing apparatus 10 while supplying ultrapure water in place of the polishing agent onto the polishing cloth 11 (FIG. 1B). The amount of ultrapure water supplied was 10 liters / minute, and the rinse time was 3 minutes. By this water polishing, the polishing abrasive particles attached during polishing are washed away from the silicon wafer W and the polishing cloth 11. However, if the abrasive does not contain abrasive grains,
Since it is not necessary to clean the polishing abrasive grains, the cleaning using only ultrapure water in FIG. 1B is omitted.

おそれが低減される(図2(a),図2(b)参照)。Next, cleaning water is supplied onto the polishing cloth 11 to clean the polishing cloth 11 and the silicon wafer W (FIG. 1 (c)). The wash water at this time has a low concentration (0.1
5% by weight) hydrogen peroxide solution. Wash water supply is 1
0 liter / minute, the temperature of the washing water is 25 ° C., and the rinse time is 3 minutes. By the hydrogen peroxide contained in the wash water,
The polished surface of the silicon wafer W is oxidized. As a result, the surface of the silicon wafer W is covered with the Si oxide film that is not easily eroded by the alkali etching. As a result, even after the polishing surface of the silicon wafer W and the polishing pad 11 are left in contact with each other for a while after the cleaning step, the silicon wafer W is covered with the alkali-resistant Si oxide film. Therefore, the surface layer portion of the silicon wafer W is less likely to melt due to the alkaline component of the polishing agent remaining on the polishing cloth 11. As a result, the risk of transferring the texture of the polishing pad 11 to the polishing surface of the silicon wafer W is reduced (see FIGS. 2A and 2B).

The pH of the liquid contained in the surface layer of the cloth 11,
The difference from the pH of the liquid contained in the polishing pad 11 is smaller than before. Thereby, in the entire area of the polishing cloth 11,
The pH of the liquid contained in the polishing cloth 11 becomes stable. Moreover,
When an abrasive having abrasive grains is used, the abrasive grains remaining on the polishing cloth 11 have a pH due to the supply of this highly concentrated acidic liquid.
The abrupt change of agglomerates causes the risk of agglomeration and scratches on the polished surface of the silicon wafer W. The thus cleaned silicon wafer W is dried, inspected, packed in a wafer case, and then shipped to the device manufacturer of the ordering party.

説明を省略する。The feature of this second embodiment is that, instead of the step of cleaning the silicon wafer W with the hydrogen peroxide solution of the first embodiment (FIG. 1 (c)), cleaning water of high alkalinity is used as a polishing cloth. This is the point where the step of cleaning the polished surface of the silicon wafer W (FIG. 3C) while supplying 11 is arranged. The high alkalinity cleaning liquid used here is ultrapure water containing the same organic amine as in the case of the abrasive. Concentration of organic amine is 0.1% by weight, pH is 11.0, temperature of washing water is 25
℃. The supply amount of the cleaning liquid is 10 liters / minute.
The surface layer portion of the silicon wafer W, which is dissolved by the organic amine contained in the polishing agent, becomes thicker than when washed with washing water having a low alkalinity of about pH 10.5, for example.
However, the dissolution reaction of the silicon wafer W by the organic amine hardly progresses further when it reaches a predetermined depth. In this way, the dissolution reaction is stopped, and the polishing surface of the silicon wafer W has a hydroxide film (Si (OH) 2) having a hydrophilic surface that is hardly corroded by alkali etching.
4 ) is formed. As a result, the transfer of the texture of the polishing pad 11 to the polishing surface of the silicon wafer W can be prevented (see FIGS. 2A and 2B). Other configurations, operations, and effects are substantially the same as those in the first embodiment,
The description is omitted.

れも解消される。According to the present invention, the polishing surface of a semiconductor wafer is pressed against the polishing cloth for cleaning while supplying cleaning water containing low concentration hydrogen peroxide instead of the polishing agent onto the polishing cloth. An oxide film having alkali resistance is formed on the polishing surface of the semiconductor wafer, which prevents transfer of the texture of the polishing cloth to the polishing surface. Moreover, since it is not the conventional method of neutralizing the polishing agent impregnated in the polishing cloth by adding a high-concentration acidic liquid to the polishing cloth, the pH of the liquid contained in the polishing cloth is kept in the entire area of the polishing cloth. While stable, for example, when using one having abrasive grains as the polishing agent, the polishing grains remaining on the polishing cloth aggregate due to a sharp change in pH due to the supply of an acidic solution as in the conventional case,
The risk of scratches on the polished surface of the semiconductor wafer is also eliminated.
