The present invention relates to a substrate processing apparatus, and more particularly, to an apparatus for generating a plasma to form a thin film on a semiconductor substrate.
The chemical vapor deposition process is a process of forming a thin film on a semiconductor substrate by a chemical reaction of a gas for manufacturing a semiconductor device. In recent years, among the apparatuses performing the chemical vapor deposition process, a high density plasma chemical vapor deposition (HDP-CVD) apparatus capable of effectively filling a space having a high aspect ratio has been mainly used.
The HDP-CVD apparatus forms plasma with high density by applying electric and magnetic fields to have higher ionization efficiency than conventional plasma CVD (PE CVD), and decomposes source gas and deposits an insulating film on the wafer. A bias power source for etching the interlayer insulating film deposited on the wafer together with the generated source power source is applied during the deposition of the interlayer insulating film, thereby simultaneously depositing the interlayer insulating film and sputter etching of the interlayer insulating film. In performing these processes, when the process gas supplied into the reaction chamber is uniformly distributed around the wafer, deposition of the surface of the semiconductor substrate is uniform, thereby obtaining an excellent film. In addition, even when performing the etching process, when the distribution of the process gas is uniform, the sputtering becomes uniform as a whole and thus the desired etching can be performed.
However, since this process is performed at a very low pressure of 3-10 mTorr, the distribution of the process gas inside the reaction chamber is very sensitive to change in dynamics. For this reason, the process gas is uniformly distributed around the wafer. The device for dispensing them also needs to be designed with great precision.
An object of the present invention is to provide a substrate processing apparatus capable of forming a uniform thin film in the center region of the substrate.
It is also an object of the present invention to provide a substrate processing apparatus capable of uniformly supplying a process gas to an upper portion of a substrate center.
According to a feature of the present invention for achieving the above object, the substrate processing apparatus includes a process chamber for providing a space in which a plasma is generated; A support member installed in the process chamber to support a substrate; A gas supply member supplying a process gas to the process chamber; The gas supply member may include side nozzles installed at a side of the process chamber; It includes a top nozzle installed on the upper surface of the process chamber.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the top nozzle includes: a tubular first body having a gas flow path therein; And a second body formed in a disc shape at a lower end of the first body and having a plurality of injection holes connected to the gas flow paths in which process gas is injected.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the injection holes are arranged at a predetermined interval and direction from the center to the second body.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the top nozzle further includes a tubular third body for supplying a cleaning gas to the process chamber.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the third body sprays the cleaning gas toward the rear surface of the second body so that the cleaning gas flows to the inner wall of the process chamber.
According to an embodiment of the present invention, the side nozzles include: two first nozzles for injecting a first process gas; Nozzles comprising one second nozzle for injecting a second process gas are arranged at equal angles with respect to the substrate.
For example, embodiments of the present invention may be modified in various forms, and the scope of the present invention should not be construed as being limited by the embodiments described below. This embodiment is provided to more completely explain the present invention to those skilled in the art. Accordingly, the shape of the elements in the drawings and the like are exaggerated to emphasize a clearer description.
In addition, embodiments to be described later will be described using high density plasma chemical vapor deposition (HDP-CVD) as an example of a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus. However, the present invention is applicable to any semiconductor substrate processing apparatus having a gas supply member for injecting a process gas into a process chamber in which a substrate processing process is performed.
