Disclosed is a liquid chemical for forming a water-repellent protecting film. The liquid chemical contains an agent for forming a water-repellent protecting film, and a solvent. The agent is for provided to form a water-repellent protecting film on a wafer after a cleaning step for the wafer and before a drying step for the wafer, the wafer having at its surface an uneven pattern and containing at least one kind element of titanium, tungsten, aluminum, copper, tin, tantalum and ruthenium at surfaces of recessed portions of the uneven pattern, the water-repellent protecting film being formed at least on the surfaces of the recessed portions. The liquid chemical is characterized in that the agent for forming a water-repellent protecting film is a compound represented by the following general formula [1].

摘要:
A process for cleaning a wafer having an uneven pattern at its surface. The process includes at least the steps of: cleaning the wafer with a cleaning liquid; substituting the cleaning liquid retained in recessed portions of the wafer with a water-repellent liquid chemical after cleaning; and drying the wafer, wherein the cleaning liquid contains 80 mass % or greater of a solvent having a boiling point of 55 to 200° C., and wherein the water-repellent liquid chemical supplied in the substitution step has a temperature of not lower than 40° C. and lower than a boiling point of the water-repellent liquid chemical thereby imparting water repellency at least to surfaces of the recessed portions.

Disclosed is a liquid chemical for forming a water repellent protective film on a wafer that has at its surface a finely uneven pattern and contains silicon element at least at a part of the uneven pattern, the water repellent protective film being formed at least on surfaces of recessed portions of the uneven pattern at the time of cleaning the wafer. The liquid chemical contains: a silicon compound (A) represented by the general formula R1aSi(H)b(X)4−a−b and an acid; or a silicon compound (C) represented by the general formula R7gSi(H)h(CH3)w(Z)4−g−h−w and a base that contains no more than 35 mass % of water. The total amount of water in the liquid chemical is no greater than 1000 mass ppm relative to the total amount of the liquid chemical. The liquid chemical can improve a cleaning step that easily induces pattern collapse.

摘要:
The present invention relates to a method for cleaning wafers while preventing pattern collapse of the wafers in semiconductor device fabrication, the wafer having at its surface an uneven pattern and containing silicon element at least on surfaces of recessed portions. Provided is: a liquid chemical for forming a protective film which allows efficient cleaning; and a method for cleaning wafers, using the liquid chemical. A liquid chemical for forming a water repellent protective film is provided for forming a protective film on a wafer (having at its surface an uneven pattern and containing silicon element at least at a part of the uneven pattern), the protective film being formed at least on surfaces of recessed portions of the uneven pattern at the time of cleaning the wafer. The liquid chemical contains a dialkylsilyl compound represented by the formula [1] and does not contain an acid and a base. R2(H)SiX [1]

Disclosed is a liquid chemical for forming a water repellent protective film at least on surfaces of recessed portions of a metal-based wafer, the liquid chemical for forming a water repellent protective film being characterized by comprising a surfactant which has an HLB value of 0.001-10 according to Griffin's method and includes a hydrophobic moiety having a C6-C18 hydrocarbon group and water, and characterized in that the concentration of the surfactant in the liquid chemical is not smaller than 0.00001 mass % and not larger than the saturated concentration relative to 100 mass % of the total amount of the liquid chemical. This liquid chemical can improve a cleaning step which tends to induce a metal-based wafer to cause a pattern collapse.
