摘要

Photoresist coating process for IC devcie manufacturing requires correct target thickness, good uniformity and low defect density. For thick resist films (1.5-3.0 microns regime or more) used for Ion Implant, Top Metal layer and/or Pad masks, resist beads built up around the side edges and on top of wafer within 0-3 mm approximately from edges will need to be removed to eliminate defects during ion implantation and etch operations. The conventional method of using solvent dispenses and optical exposure for edgebead removal (EBR) does not necessarily solve this problem for resist thickness greater than 1.5 micron. For solvent EBR application, most resist track systems, have both top and bottom dispense nozzles for wafer edge cleaning. However, due to the high risk of unwanted EBR solvent splashes with top EBR nozzle onto wafer surface, which will destroy resist pattern resulting in yield loss, top EBR solvent application is power to completely expose thick photoresist film within a reasonable time for throughout removal. In this paper, we will describe a new top rinse nozzle design and a combined process of top and bottom EBRs to provide adequate and efficient resist removal around wafer edges for thick photoresist films. A low cost and easy efficient top solvent EBR application and to avoid solvent splash defects. The low angle of top rinse nozzle below 20 degree was found to be important in reducing solvent droplet defects. Finally, a defect comparison study using KLA2132 will show a lower defect level for the modified top rinse nozzle than the standard one. Qualitative images of wafer edge cleanliness will be shown for resist thickness at .5, 1.8 and 2.5 microns using this new nozzle modification.
