Description

【0001】
【発明の属する技術分野】
本発明は、半導体装置製造のリソグラフィ工程で使用されるフォトマスク等の素材となる合成石英ガラスインゴットの製造方法に関する。
【0002】
【従来の技術】
従来、合成石英ガラスの素材としての合成石英ガラスインゴットは、通常、液体のケイ素化合物を気化させ、流量制御しながらキャリアガスとしての酸素ガス(O2 )と共に石英ガラスバーナに供給してその中心ノズルから噴出し、酸水素炎による気相加水分解反応で生成したシリカ微粒子をターゲット上に堆積し、溶融ガラス化して製造されている。
【0003】
上記石英ガラスバーナとしては、同心5重管構造で、中心ノズルの内径を2.5 〜 5.0mmとしたもの(特開平7−138028号公報参照)、あるいは同心3重管構造で、中心ノズルの内径を2.0 〜 6.0mmとしたもの(特開平8−259255号公報参照)が知られている。
【0004】
【発明が解決しようとする課題】
しかしながら、従来の合成石英ガラスインゴットの製造方法では、合成石英ガラスインゴットの出来高(単価時間当たりにできるインゴットの重量)を向上させるために原料供給量(ケイ素化合物ガスと酸素ガスの混合ガスの供給量)を増量すると、歩留まり(シリカ換算した原料使用量に対するインゴットの重量)が低下気味となり、結果的にあまり出来高が向上しない不具合がある。
そこで、本発明は、出来高を向上させるために原料供給量を増量しても歩留りを低下させない合成石英ガラスインゴットの製造方法を提供することを目的とする。
【0005】
【課題を解決するための手段】
前記課題を解決するため、本発明の合成石英ガラスインゴットの製造方法は、ケイ素化合物ガスをキャリアガスとしての酸素ガスと共に石英ガラスバーナに供給してその中心ノズルから噴射し、酸水素炎による気相加水分解反応で生成したシリカ微粒子をターゲット上に堆積すると同時に、溶融ガラス化して合成石英ガラスインゴットを製造する方法において、前記石英ガラスバーナの中心ノズルから噴出するケイ素化合物ガスとキャリアガスとしての酸素ガスの混合ガスの流速を20〜40m/sとし、かつ、ケイ素化合物ガスとキャリアガスとしての酸素ガスのモル比を1:1〜1:2とすることを特徴とする。
前記石英ガラスバーナの中心ノズルの内径 は、2.0〜6.0mmであることが好ましい。
【0006】
石英ガラスバーナの中心ノズルから噴出する混合ガスの流速が、20m/s 未満であると、生成したシリカ微粒子が中心ノズルに付着し、ノズル孔を塞ぐためインゴットの製造継続が困難となる場合が多い。一方、40m/s を超えると、生成したシリカ微粒子の拡散が大きくなって、ターゲット上への堆積率が低下し、歩留まりが低下する。
【0007】
ケイ素化合物ガスとキャリアガスとしての酸素ガスのモル比が1:1よりケイ素化合物ガスの割合が多くなると、中心ノズル近傍での気相加水分解反応が充分に行われないため、シリカ微粒子の生成効率が悪くなり、歩留まりが低下する。一方、1:2より酸素ガスの割合が多くなると、赤色蛍光強度が比較的大きく、光の吸収が起こるため、紫外線透過率が低下する。これは、気相加水分解反応において、当該混合比率では、ケイ素化合物ガスに対し酸素ガスが過剰であることから、インゴット中の酸素過剰欠陥が多くなるためと考えられる。
【0008】
一方、石英ガラスバーナの中心ノズルの内径が、2.0mm 未満であると、混合ガスの供給量を多くすることが困難となり、6.0mm を超えると、生成したシリカ微粒子の拡散が大きくなって歩留まりが低下する。
より好ましい中心ノズルの内径は 2.5〜4.0 mmである。
【0009】

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION
The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a synthetic quartz glass ingot that is a material such as a photomask used in a lithography process for manufacturing a semiconductor device.
[0002]
[Prior art]
Conventionally, a synthetic quartz glass ingot as a raw material of synthetic quartz glass usually vaporizes a liquid silicon compound, supplies it to a quartz glass burner together with oxygen gas (O 2 ) as a carrier gas while controlling the flow rate, and has a central nozzle. It is manufactured by depositing silica fine particles generated by gas-phase hydrolysis reaction using oxyhydrogen flame on a target and melting into glass.
[0003]
The quartz glass burner has a concentric five-pipe structure with an inner diameter of the central nozzle of 2.5 to 5.0 mm (see Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 7-138028), or a concentric triple pipe structure with an inner diameter of the central nozzle. Those having a thickness of 2.0 to 6.0 mm (see JP-A-8-259255) are known.
[0004]
[Problems to be solved by the invention]
However, in the conventional method for producing a synthetic quartz glass ingot, the raw material supply amount (a supply amount of a mixed gas of silicon compound gas and oxygen gas) in order to improve the output of the synthetic quartz glass ingot (the weight of the ingot made per unit time). ) Is increased, the yield (weight of the ingot relative to the amount of raw material used in terms of silica) tends to decrease, and as a result, there is a problem that the yield is not improved so much.
Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a method for producing a synthetic quartz glass ingot that does not decrease the yield even if the amount of raw material supply is increased in order to improve the yield.
[0005]
[Means for Solving the Problems]
In order to solve the above-mentioned problems, the method for producing a synthetic quartz glass ingot according to the present invention supplies a silicon compound gas together with oxygen gas as a carrier gas to a quartz glass burner and injects it from its central nozzle, and a gas phase generated by an oxyhydrogen flame. In a method for producing a synthetic quartz glass ingot by melting and vitrifying silica fine particles generated by a hydrolysis reaction simultaneously with a target, a silicon compound gas ejected from a central nozzle of the quartz glass burner and oxygen as a carrier gas The flow rate of the gas mixture is 20 to 40 m / s, and the molar ratio of the silicon compound gas to the oxygen gas as the carrier gas is 1: 1 to 1: 2.
The inner diameter of the central nozzle of the quartz glass burner is preferably 2.0 to 6.0 mm.
[0006]
If the flow rate of the mixed gas ejected from the central nozzle of the quartz glass burner is less than 20 m / s, the generated silica particles adhere to the central nozzle and block the nozzle hole, which often makes it difficult to continue ingot production. . On the other hand, when it exceeds 40 m / s, the diffusion of the generated silica particles increases, the deposition rate on the target decreases, and the yield decreases.
[0007]
When the molar ratio of silicon compound gas to oxygen gas as a carrier gas is higher than 1: 1, the gas phase hydrolysis reaction in the vicinity of the center nozzle is not sufficiently performed. Inefficiency decreases and yield decreases. On the other hand, when the proportion of oxygen gas increases from 1: 2, the red fluorescence intensity is relatively high and light absorption occurs, so that the ultraviolet transmittance decreases. This is considered to be because oxygen excess defects in the ingot increase because the oxygen gas is excessive with respect to the silicon compound gas at the mixing ratio in the gas phase hydrolysis reaction.
[0008]
On the other hand, if the inner diameter of the central nozzle of the quartz glass burner is less than 2.0 mm, it will be difficult to increase the supply amount of the mixed gas, and if it exceeds 6.0 mm, the diffusion of the generated silica particles will increase and the yield will increase. descend.
The inner diameter of the center nozzle is more preferably 2.5 to 4.0 mm.
[0009]

[0010]
Next, specific examples in which a synthetic quartz glass ingot is manufactured using the above-described synthetic quartz glass ingot manufacturing apparatus will be described together with comparative examples.
Examples 1-9, Comparative Examples 1-12
First, silicon tetrachloride (SiCl 4 ) is used as a liquid silicon compound, the gas flow rate is changed as shown in Tables 1 and 2, and the ratio (molar ratio) of oxygen gas as the carrier gas of the gas is changed. (SiCl 4 gas: oxygen gas = 1: 0.9 to 1: 2.1), and the flow rate of the mixed gas of silicon tetrachloride gas ejected from the central nozzle of the quartz glass burner and oxygen gas as its carrier gas is changed (19 Various synthetic quartz glass ingots with production conditions corresponding to the points (1) to (21) in FIG. 3 were produced.

[0012]
[Table 2]
Figure 0003818567
[0013]
As in Examples 1 to 9 from Tables 1 and 2, the flow rate of the mixed gas ejected from the central nozzle is 20 to 40 m / s, and the moles of silicon tetrachloride gas and oxygen gas as the carrier gas in the mixed gas By setting the ratio to 1: 1 to 1: 2, a synthetic quartz glass having a yield of 62% or more and a low red fluorescence intensity can be obtained, while a mixed gas flow rate of 19 m / s (Comparative Examples 1 to 3). Silica fine particles adhere to the center nozzle of the quartz glass burner. At 41 m / s (Comparative Examples 7 to 9), the yield is 58% or less, and the molar ratio of silicon tetrachloride gas to oxygen gas as the carrier gas is In 1: 0.9 (Comparative Examples 4 to 6), the yield was 59% or less, and in 1: 2.1 (Comparative Examples 10 to 12), the yield was the same as in Examples 1 to 9, but the red fluorescence intensity was high.
