Description

Gas extraction system and use this system to make the semiconductor-fabricating device and the method for film
Technical field
The invention relates to a kind of gas extraction system and use this system to make the semiconductor-fabricating device and the method for film, and particularly relevant for a kind of chemical vapour deposition (CVD) (chemical vapor deposition with increased in size, CVD) equipment, it can stably be carried out high-temperature control and can stably import into discharge and handle gas.
Background technology
In general, when the semiconductor element pattern becomes meticulousr output with maximization per unit wafer, can utilize light-sensitive surface for energy-sensitive.Yet because because material layer under light-sensitive surface can produce the reverberation of diffusion, (anti-reflection coating, ARC) processing procedure prevents the reverberation that spreads so can carry out the antireflection coating of using nitride film.Moreover, because 200 millimeters or larger sized wafer have been used in the increase gradually of wafer size at present.
This large scale wafer can experience the required various processing procedures of semiconductor element manufacturing at least one chamber (chamber).This processing procedure comprise be used to feed to the deposition reaction gas of chamber to form the processing procedure of material layer on the wafer and according to pre-defined pattern and use the etching reaction gas etch to be formed on the processing procedure of the material layer on the wafer.
For example, wafer can experience on the wafer by the processing procedure of the predetermined material layer (for example sull or nitride film) of CVD, PECVD or similar approach deposition, by etched material layer with the form contact hole processing procedure that semiconductor substrate and metal wire are electrically contacted each other, the silicon processing processing procedure that removes the processing procedure of the photoresist pattern that is used for the contact hole pattern structure and remove the matrix silicon layer that during the etching contact hole, damages with etching with ashing.
Be used for depositing or etched reacting gas from be directed into chamber to carry out the case of deposition or etch process with concurrent, gas injects the unit can be installed in the top of chamber so that reacting gas can be evenly distributed in the whole surface of wafer.
Yet in this correlation technique, because the scattered reflection of the bottom pattern of light-sensitive surface and can't accurately form the pattern of light-sensitive surface, wherein when element pattern became meticulousr, light-sensitive surface can be to the luminous energy sensitivity.Therefore, for fear of the generation of scattered reflection, can carry out the antireflection coating process to form nitride film or analog.Yet the light-sensitive surface pattern can collapse during the subsequent etch processing procedure.Moreover when wafer size became big, gas injects the unit can't inject reacting gas equably on the whole surface of wafer.
Fig. 1 is the notion profile that illustrates the correlation technique semiconductor-fabricating device.
Fig. 2 is the perspective view of correlation technique shower nozzle (showe rhead) and baffle plate (baffle).
Please refer to Fig. 1 and Fig. 2, the bottom that the correlation technique semiconductor-fabricating device comprises chamber (chamber) 10 with reaction compartment, be configured in chamber 10 is to allow wafer 21 heating (heater) block 20 placed on it, to be arranged on the chamber 10 the ejection head unit 30 of reacting gas to chamber 10 to be provided, to be formed on chamber 10 both sides and at a plurality of steam vents 40 between heating block 20 and the ejection head unit 30 and be used for pump interface 42 with unreacted gas permeation steam vent 40 discharge chambers 10.Moreover gate valve (not shown) can be formed on the side surface of chamber 10.In addition, extra electricity slurry generation unit can be arranged in the chamber to produce the electricity slurry.

In this ejection head unit 30, baffle plate 32 can form with the size that is same as shower nozzle 33.Therefore, equipment regularly and during unscheduled maintenance required plenty of time and cost can throw into question.Just, in the case of electric arc processing procedure, shower nozzle 33 can be affected and therefore damage with the baffle plate of making in advance 32 that is installed in shower nozzle 33 during processing procedure.Therefore, baffle plate 32 should be changed with shower nozzle 33.Moreover in the case that baffle plate 32 is disassembled and made up in shower nozzle 33 more afterwards, the assembled state of baffle plate can change because of worker's technology.Therefore, can cause again because the baffle plate 32 in ejection head unit 30 is starched running rate and the productivity that the arc light generation makes preventive maintenance time become longer thereby reduced equipment with gaseous contamination or electricity in the shower nozzle 33.Moreover, also can produce bigger maintenance cost.
In addition, the method for using the correlation technique semiconductor-fabricating device to make film also has following point.
Just, reaction gas is known from experience the entire inner space that imports and be supplied to equably by the device of baffle plate 32 shower nozzle 33 via the gas supply orifice 31 of ejection head unit 30.Afterwards, reaction gas is known from experience via shower nozzle 33 injecting chamber 10 equably.At this moment, low-temp reaction gas can be directed into wafer (it can be stabilized in the film formation temperature) once more so that the temperature of wafer can descend a little.Just, when the low temperature reacting gas is by baffle plate 32 and shower nozzle 33, have time delay, therefore the temperature in chamber 10 can descend immediately, and film can be preferably in the stable temperature deposit over time.
Moreover in the correlation technique semiconductor-fabricating device, steam vent 40 and pump interface 42 can be arranged on the sidewall of the chamber between ejection head unit 30 and the heating block 20, other products when removing the residue reacting gas in chamber 10 thus and reacting.Yet, in the example of large scale device, the removing fully of unreacting gas can in the edge of heating block 20, carry out lentamente and when only removing reacting gas via the side surface of chamber unreacting gas can't remove equably.To on wafer 21, form high quality thin film when therefore, unreacting gas reacts once more and will become quite difficult on wafer 21 with uniform thickness.Moreover, can be difficult to confirm the even distribution of reacting gas.Just, be not easy according to the increase of the reacting gas that is injected into chamber 10 or reduce the distribution control reacting gas.
In addition, can produce wafer when moving and the problem that drops by blading, wherein blading be the wafer Filtting device of AMT mechanical arm and in order to rotation, lift up and down and move wafer.Afterwards, after film forms processing procedure, can in chamber, use latent heat (latentheat) to clean.Therefore, the productivity of the cleaning efficiency of chamber and semiconductor-fabricating device can descend.

Below will describe the running of the semiconductor-fabricating device of present embodiment in detail.
After gate valve is opened, place to be written into the wafer locked 121 and can to place on the heating block 120 of chamber 110 (it comprises pre-defined reaction compartment) of present embodiment by barrow.After gate valve was closed, the pressure in chamber 110 can be adjusted to deposition pressure and heating block 120 can be heated to Celsius 400 to 600 depositing temperatures of spending.At this moment, need one section to stablize and allow wafer to be stabilized in said temperature to carry out successive process.
During this period, outside deposition gas can see through ejection head unit 130 and be sprayed to chamber 110 equably.At this moment, deposition gas know from experience to see through that gas supply orifice 131 injects and the gas that imported by gas supply orifice 131 can be dispersed on the shower nozzle 133 equably by the device of the baffle plate 132 that combines with the hole.In the present embodiment, because baffle plate 132 can combine with optimum size and gas supply orifice 131, so can minimize that deposition gases is sprayed and by 130 time spents of ejection head unit and arrive matrix afterwards.Therefore, in chamber 110, change to such an extent that instantaneous temperature can minimize in deposition gases injection period.For example, the baffle plate 132 of ejection head unit 130 with the case of making greater than the size of 1.2 to 2.0 times of gas supply orifices in, the gas that straight-line pass gas supply orifice 131 moves can collide baffle plate 132 and scatter with horizontal direction afterwards.In addition, because the size of baffle plate 132 is little,, and therefore slightly change to such an extent that the time can shorten in gas injection period chamber 110 temperature so the gas of collision baffle plate 132 can arrive matrix at short notice.Therefore, can shorten the stabilization time of thin film deposition.
The deposition gas cognition that is dispersed in equably on the shower nozzle 133 via baffle plate 132 is sprayed to chamber 110 equably through shower nozzle 133.At this moment, gas arrive matrix institute's time spent and in gas injection period chamber temperature slightly change to such an extent that the time can be according to the injection rate of deposition gases and injection rate and different.Moreover, but the speed of gas injecting chamber 110 also can be changed and via the uniformity of shower nozzle 133 injecting gas also Be Controlled.All can be used as deposition gases according to the film all gases that will be formed on the wafer 121.

By the device of pump interface 140 can avoid because of the film that non-homogeneous exhaust caused of deposition gases irregular.
As mentioned above, after other products when unreacting gas and reaction removed, gate valve can be opened and place the wafer of heating block to be taken out and to place to be written into from chamber by barrow and lock.
Use the film of the semiconductor-fabricating device of present embodiment to form temperature gradient that processing procedure can be minimized in decrease of temperature in the chamber and allow reacting gas evenly on whole matrix so that can solve the reacting gas uneven distribution degree of causing problem to improve the uniformity of film.Moreover, equipment regularly with the unscheduled maintenance case in, so owing to use and few preventive maintenance time and cost can fall in small front apron that the gas supply orifice combines, and the personnel of this technology of tool can not finish maintenance easily yet.
Various semiconductive thin films all can use the semiconductor-fabricating device of above-mentioned present embodiment to make.Be used as method below with reference to graphic detailed description manufacturing in order to the nitride film of the cover curtain film that forms the semiconductor element pattern.Below will describe with large scale wafer (300 millimeters).
Fig. 8 illustrates the notion profile that uses semiconductor-fabricating device to make the method for semiconductor element according to the embodiment of the invention.
Shown in Fig. 8 (a), hard cover screen film 220 can form on wafer 210, and is coated with anti-reflection film 230 and light-sensitive surface in regular turn on hard cover screen film 220.Afterwards, light-sensitive surface can be patterned to form light-sensitive surface pattern 240.
Shown in Fig. 8 (b), use sensitization film figure 240 to come patterning hard cover screen film 220.Shown in Fig. 8 (c), use hard cover screen film 220 to carry out etch process with implementation patterning program, that is partly remove wafer 210 as etch mask.Although present embodiment is to describe formation hard cover screen film 220 to come patterned wafer 210, the invention is not restricted to this.Just, hard cover screen film 220 can be used for the processing procedure that all make semiconductor element.
This hard cover screen film 220 can nitride film, sull or its mixture form.This hard cover screen film 220 can be used as etch mask with prevent light-sensitive surface collapse caused below etching etched wafer 210 simultaneously.Therefore, should have high etch-selectivity compared to wafer 210 as the nitride of hard cover screen film 220, and nitride film itself should be harder.In addition, if will use nitride film as etch mask the time then nitride film should under fixed thickness, make.In order to form hard nitride film, nitride should be in the high temperature deposit of 400 to 600 degree Celsius.Moreover, in order on large scale wafer 210, to form uniform thickness and thick nitride film, the nitride gas that forms the nitride film material and be imparted to wafer should be sprayed equably.When if this hard cover screen film 220 is to use in the semiconductor-fabricating device of present embodiment, then can satisfy two above-mentioned conditions.
At this moment, inlay to the blade of AMT mechanical arm and can use the suction (being negative pressure) that produces by rotating flow to lift wafer, wherein this rotating flow be when the gas around blade along the cylinder medial movement of discharge portion and reduce the density of gas thus and produce.Blade can bring to wafer with rubber blanket and contact, and keeps wafer to move thus.
Therefore, because the wafer of distortion can be written under high temperature and take out, wafer breaks or cracked phenomenon so can reduce.Moreover, because the liquid of supply is flatly mobile,, minimize the fraction defective of wafer thus so the pressure that puts on the crystal column surface can be very little.
Comprehensively above-mentioned, blade comprises gas exhaust part, rubber blanket and sensor.Good hole (being gas feed) can be provided at each gas exhaust part so that gas can move and produce rotating flow along the cylindrical inner wall of discharge portion when seeing through this import supply gas.When if rotating flow is very strong, then the density of gas can reduce and produce negative pressure thus.Therefore, wafer can rise in the balance point between the buoyancy that is produced during to the suction of main body and when emission gases in order to mobile wafer.At this moment, this wafer degree of floating is 0.2 millimeter to 0.5 millimeter.Therefore, this wafer can be brought to and contact with outstanding 0.5 millimeter rubber blanket and stop afterwards.The number of gas exhaust part is 4, but can change this number to produce enough suction.Rubber blanket is to be arranged in 9 positions to contact uniformly with wafer therewith, and the frictional force between wafer and rubber blanket can prevent that wafer from getting loose.Rubber blanket is made with hexafluoroization four carbon (Perfluoro), and it is to have good heat-resisting special rubber materials with opposing high temperature.In addition, can use special sticker to be easy to inlay pad in separable mode.
As mentioned above, because wafer is to move in the noncontact mode, so can prevent that wafer from dropping and the foreign material avoiding being produced in the wafer from then on moves to other wafers or the part in device from the mechanical arm blade.In addition, also removable electrostatic charge removes the origin cause of formation that produces foreign material thus.
By using conduction sensor (transmissive sensor) can judge whether to detect the existence of wafer as sensor.Because the detection performance of sensor can be different with processing procedure according to the film quality of wafer, so can use the conduction sensor.When if this blade is installed, then after wafer shifts out chamber, enter and be written into before the lock, wafer can remain in the chamber of cooling.At this moment, because wafer can not move under the state of cooling or distortion fully, so can need not wait until that wafer just carries out the next processing procedure of wafer under cooling off fully.Therefore can reduce the entire process time, it helps productivity.Another advantage is exactly to come cool wafers by the gas that is discharged from the gas exhaust part during moving.
In addition, the program of cleaning according to semiconductor-fabricating device of the present invention of handling below will be described.
In general, if when carrying out thin film deposition process in chamber, film can be deposited on the surface of the interior wall and the shower nozzle of chamber slightly.
When so the difference thermal pressure owing to thermal coefficient of expansion after the down-stream successful execution can be created on the film that is deposited on the shower nozzle.Therefore, the successive process film can partly separate and can produce impurity in film when carrying out.For head it off, electricity consumption slurry generator will be provided via feed tube, baffle plate and shower nozzle and inject cleaning source, electricity slurry generator is to be used as at the top of chamber control electricity to starch the far-end of element with the direct etch processing procedure.This moment, cleaning procedure can be carried out when the outside of two to four heating rods to chamber maintains 100 to 300 degree Celsius than low side by connecting at chamber temp for maximum etch efficient.Therefore, can increase cleaning efficiency, so that can reduce the entire process time and improve productivity.Therefore, can remove the interior wall that remains in chamber and the film of nozzle surface.At this moment, NF 3Can be used as cleaning source gas, and NF 3Electric paste etching also can use this to carry out.
As mentioned above, using the small size baffle plate that combines with the gas supply orifice that reacting gas can be evenly distributed on the shower nozzle and via shower nozzle is infused on the matrix that places heater equably and apace.
Moreover, can minimize reacting gas and arrive matrix institute's time spent to minimize stopping reaction temperature (400 to 600 degree Celsius) the required time via shower nozzle.
Moreover the preventive maintenance time of equipment and cost also can reduce.
In addition, other products during reaction can remove the path of reacting gas and remove easily by changing in order to the bottom via matrix.Therefore, the uniformity of film can be improved by distributing reacting gas equably.
The above, it only is preferred embodiment of the present invention, be not that the present invention is done any pro forma restriction, though the present invention discloses as above with preferred embodiment, yet be not in order to limit the present invention, any those skilled in the art, in not breaking away from the technical solution of the present invention scope, when the technology contents that can utilize above-mentioned announcement is made a little change or is modified to the equivalent embodiment of equivalent variations, in every case be the content that does not break away from technical solution of the present invention, according to technical spirit of the present invention to any simple modification that above embodiment did, equivalent variations and modification all still belong in the scope of technical solution of the present invention.
