BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention The present invention relates to a method for manufacturing a semiconductor substrate and an apparatus used for the method. More specifically, for example, when a high-concentration impurity region is formed on a front surface side of a semiconductor substrate by a diffusion method, a method of forming a protective film for preventing impurities from being diffused also on the back surface side of the semiconductor substrate and the method are implemented.

2. Description of the Related Art In the semiconductor device manufacturing technology, when various circuit elements are formed, for example, a high-concentration buried layer is formed on a semiconductor substrate, and then an epitaxial layer is formed thereon. Various elements are being formed.

In the case of manufacturing a semiconductor device as described above, when the impurity is diffused to form a buried layer, the impurity is formed at a high concentration on the side surface and the back surface as well as on the surface of the semiconductor substrate. Spread. Thereafter, when the epitaxial layer is formed, the impurities on the side surface and the back surface are once released into the gas phase by the gas phase etching in the epitaxial layer forming step, and then taken in the epitaxial layer again. Such a phenomenon is called auto doping.

When this auto-doping occurs, the impurity concentration in the epitaxial layer changes, and the impurity concentration in the epitaxial layer becomes non-uniform. In order to avoid such inconvenience, before performing a diffusion step for forming a buried layer, a protective film made of a thermal oxide film or the like is formed in advance on the back surface of the semiconductor substrate, and the protective film is used to protect the semiconductor substrate. There is a method for preventing impurity diffusion to the back surface.

More specifically, for example, a thermal oxide film is formed on both main surfaces of a semiconductor substrate, a photoresist is applied to the surface portion and patterned, and then a resist (an etching solution for an oxide film) is formed on the back surface portion of the semiconductor substrate. The thermal oxide film is protected by applying a photoresist, and the thermal oxide film on the surface is coated with an aqueous solution of ammonium fluoride and hydrofluoric acid to form a buried layer. Pattern etching. At this time, since the resist is also applied to the back surface, the thermal oxide film on the entire back surface remains without being etched, and if a diffusion process for forming a buried layer is performed after the removal of the photoresist and the resist, the thermal oxide film is formed on the entire back surface. The presence of the remaining thermal oxide film can prevent diffusion of impurities to the back surface.

However, conventionally, the application of the resist to the back surface of the semiconductor substrate had to be performed manually, so that the automation of the production line could not be achieved. This is because applying a resist to the backside of the substrate using a spinner will chuck the patterned photoresist film surface on the front surface of the substrate, so particles between the chuck of the spinner and the patterned photoresist film This is because the photoresist film may be damaged due to, for example, the insertion of (dust) and pinholes or the like may be formed, which may cause patterning failure.

Therefore, before applying the resist on the back surface of the semiconductor substrate by the spinner, a water-soluble resin is applied on the photoresist film formed on the front surface, and the chuck is inserted through the formed water-soluble resin film. A method has been proposed (see JP-A-2-201927). After the resist is applied to the back surface of the semiconductor substrate, the semiconductor substrate is immersed in a rinsing bath containing a rinsing liquid for a water-soluble resin such as pure water to remove the water-soluble resin, and the normal process is continued.

According to this method, since the photoresist film on the surface is protected by the water-soluble resin film, the photoresist film is not damaged even if the front surface of the semiconductor substrate is chucked. Therefore, it is possible to apply a resist to the back surface of the semiconductor substrate using a spinner, and it is possible to automate the process.

However, in the conventional method as described above, even if the semiconductor substrate is immersed in a peeling tank to remove the water-soluble resin after the resist is applied to the back surface of the semiconductor substrate, the water-soluble resin is removed. The conductive resin could not be completely removed. That is, a part of the water-soluble resin sometimes remains on the peripheral portion (chamfered portion) of the substrate.

In the present invention, after a water-soluble resin is applied to the front surface of a semiconductor substrate, the peripheral portion on the back side is rinsed with a water-soluble resin stripper (this is called "back rinse").
Removing the water-soluble resin adhering to the back surface of the semiconductor substrate by applying a resist to the back surface of the semiconductor substrate, and then rinsing (back-rinsing) the peripheral portion of the front surface with a resist remover. ) To remove one or both of the steps of removing the resist adhering to the surface side of the semiconductor substrate, so that a portion of the water-soluble resin at the peripheral edge of the semiconductor substrate is covered with the resist. Can be eliminated, and when the water-soluble resin film is subsequently peeled off, the water-soluble resin does not partially remain at the periphery.

If the back rinsing is performed both after the application of the water-soluble resin and after the application of the resist, the problem caused by the remaining water-soluble resin can be more surely prevented. Even if it is performed, the effect is sufficiently exhibited.

When back rinsing is performed after the application of the water-soluble resin, the adhesiveness between the resist applied to the back surface of the semiconductor substrate and the semiconductor substrate becomes insufficient. For example, it is preferable to apply a hydrophobic treatment agent containing hexamethyldisilazane as a main component to perform a hydrophobic treatment.

When only back rinsing after application of the resist is performed and back rinsing after application of the water-soluble resin is omitted, hydrophobic treatment before application of the resist can be omitted.
The process can be simplified. If the back rinse after the application of the water-soluble resin is omitted, a part of the water-soluble resin that has wrapped around the back side of the semiconductor substrate is covered by the subsequently applied resist, and the water-soluble resin is removed even after the step of removing the water-soluble resin. May remain slightly on the peripheral edge of the substrate, but in this case, the remaining water-soluble resin exists only on the back side of the peripheral edge of the semiconductor substrate. It is extremely unlikely that an object flows out to the front side of the semiconductor substrate.

In the present invention, after the water-soluble resin film is peeled off by the water-soluble resin peeling liquid, the semiconductor substrate is replaced with a single-wafer type rotary dryer instead of a conventional revolving dryer. By drying using the spin-drying means, even if the water-soluble resin remains very slightly on the peripheral edge of the semiconductor substrate as described above, the water-soluble resin is centrifugally driven because the semiconductor substrate rotates. Thus, the semiconductor substrate is not scattered to the outside of the semiconductor substrate, and does not flow out to the center side, that is, the surface side of the semiconductor substrate, so that the occurrence of defects can be more reliably prevented.

The present invention is particularly suitable for the case where the water-soluble resin film is formed after forming a photoresist film on which a predetermined pattern is formed in advance by a photolithography method on the surface of the semiconductor substrate. This is because the patterned photoresist film needs to be particularly protected, and not only protection by a water-soluble resin is indispensable, but also a problem caused by the remaining water-soluble resin becomes a serious problem.

For example, as described above, the step of back-rinsing the water-soluble resin is not necessarily performed, and this step can be omitted. In that case, since the hydrophobic treatment is not required, this can also be omitted.
