摘要:
Mirror-polishing a front surface of a silicon wafer using polishing liquid composed of an abrasive grain-free alkaline solution including water-soluble polymers simplifies a polishing process, thus leading to an increase in productivity and a reduction in cost, and reduces the density of LPDs attributable to processing and occurring in the front surface of a mirror-polished wafer, thus improving the surface roughness of the wafer front surface.
摘要:
A polishing pad thickness measuring method measures the thickness of a polishing pad attached to an upper surface of a surface plate. The polishing pad thickness measuring method measures a first distance between an upper surface of the polishing pad and a reference position on a vertical line perpendicular to the surface of the polishing pad and a second distance between an upper surface of the surface plate and the reference position on the vertical line, and calculates the thickness of the polishing pad from the difference between the first and second distances.

摘要:
An object of the invention is to provide an epitaxial silicon wafer in higher quality with good flatness and thickness uniformity. The object is achieved by a method characterized in that after an epitaxial film 20 is formed on a surface of a mirror polished silicon wafer 10, a grinding process, a polishing process, or a chemical etching process is performed only on the rear surface of the silicon wafer 10, and silicon precipitate 21 that adheres to an end portion of the rear surface of the silicon wafer 10 in the formation of the epitaxial film 20 is removed.

A silicon wafer surface other than a defect is oxidized by ozone to form a silicon oxide film. A hydrofluoric acid is sprayed and subsequently a cleaning gas is sprayed onto the surface of the silicon wafer.
