Abstract
The substrate processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a chamber in which a process space is formed, a gas supply device for supplying gas into the chamber, an exhaust port for exhausting gas to a lower portion of the chamber, And a guide member provided at a lower end of the substrate support unit to guide the flow of the cleaning gas to a lower portion of the substrate support unit.
Description
The present invention relates to a substrate processing technique, and more particularly, to a substrate processing apparatus.
A manufacturing process of a semiconductor device can be said to be a process of forming an electronic circuit which performs a certain function by forming a material film of various properties on a substrate by combining the order of lamination and the shape of a pattern.
Accordingly, in the semiconductor device manufacturing process, the unit processes such as deposition, etching, polishing, and cleaning processes are repeatedly performed. In order to carry out such a unit process, the substrate is brought into a chamber that provides an optimum condition for the progress of the process, and is processed.
Therefore, a plurality of chambers for performing various processes are installed in the manufacturing facility of the semiconductor device.
The thin film of the semiconductor device may be formed on the semiconductor substrate by a sputtering method, a vapor deposition method, a chemical vapor deposition method, an atomic layer deposition method, or the like. The thin film deposition apparatus may include a chamber, a gas supply device for supplying various gases into the chamber, and a substrate holding device on which the substrate is placed.
When forming a thin film in a thin film deposition apparatus, the inside of the chamber should be maintained at a required temperature. However, due to the internal structure of the chamber, the lower space is wider than the upper space of the substrate supporting apparatus and the vacuum exhaust port is provided at the lower side of the chamber, so that the heat inside the chamber can be lost through the lower space. Further, the temperature in the chamber can be changed by the pressure change in the chamber during the process. To compensate for such heat loss and temperature variations, the interior of the chamber must be continuously heated to maintain the required temperature, resulting in increased energy waste and process costs.
Further, during formation of the thin film in the thin film deposition apparatus, reaction products can be attached to the structures inside the chamber and inside the chamber. If the thin film forming process is continued with the reaction product attached, the reaction product is peeled off to generate particles. If the particles adhere to the substrate during the process, the yield is lowered due to the defective process.
Therefore, the deposition chamber of the thin film deposition apparatus needs to be cleaned at regular intervals. However, in a region where the cleaning gas is difficult to reach during the cleaning of the deposition chamber, for example, the rear surface of the substrate supporting apparatus, the cleaning efficiency is lowered, and the influence due to the reaction products remaining after the cleaning can not be completely eliminated.
Embodiments of the present technology can provide a substrate processing apparatus capable of maintaining a constant temperature inside a chamber during a thin film deposition process.
Embodiments of the present technology can provide a substrate processing apparatus capable of improving the cleaning efficiency of a deposition chamber.
A substrate processing apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention includes a chamber in which a processing space is formed; A gas supply device for supplying gas into the chamber; An exhaust port for exhausting gas to the lower portion of the chamber; A substrate support positioned within the chamber and having a substrate seating portion on which the substrate is mounted, and a support shaft for supporting the substrate seating portion; And a guide member provided at a lower end of the substrate supporting unit to guide the flow of the cleaning gas to the lower portion of the substrate supporting unit.
According to the present invention, the flow of the cleaning gas can be induced between the plate of the guide member and the rear surface of the substrate supporting apparatus during cleaning of the substrate processing apparatus. As a result, the cleaning efficiency of the substrate holding apparatus and further the substrate processing apparatus can be improved, and the reliability and yield of the subsequent deposition process can be secured.
In addition, by providing the guide member having the plate facing the rear surface of the substrate supporting apparatus, heat inside the substrate processing apparatus can be prevented from being lost through the substrate processing apparatus lower region. Therefore, it is possible to reduce the amount of temperature change inside the substrate processing apparatus, thereby reducing the cost required for the deposition process.
