[technical field]
The invention relates to a kind of gas distribution plate and comprise the substrate processing apparatus of this gas distribution plate.
[background technology]
Generally speaking, semiconductor device, display unit, solar cell etc. are that substrate is carried out various processing and produces.For example, carry out that several times thin film deposition process and optical micro-image handled, etch processes forms the circuit pattern on the substrate, still will carry out extra process, as clean, bonding processing, cutting process etc.Among these were handled, depositing treatment and etch processes were to carry out in the chamber profile substrate processing apparatus.For this reason, the gas distribution plate of equipment passed in the reactant gases supply and arrive on the substrate, thus on substrate deposition or etch thin film.
Fig. 1 is the sectional view that illustrates substrate processing apparatus according to related art techniques, and Fig. 2 is the sectional view that illustrates the distortion of gas distribution plate according to related art techniques.
With reference to Fig. 1, usually PECVD (electricity slurry enhanced chemical vapor deposition) equipment is used as substrate processing apparatus 10.Substrate processing apparatus 10 comprises chamber 11, and this chamber comprises Pit cover 12, and is provided with reaction compartment E in inside.Substrate 2 is positioned on the substrate-placing plate 14, and well heater 28 is installed among the substrate-placing plate 14.Gas distribution plate 20 injects reactant gases towards substrate-placing plate 14.Edge frame 26 connects airtight in the inwall of chamber 11, and in order to prevent the outer peripheral areas of thin film deposition at substrate 2.Feed tube 24 is supplied to gas distribution plate 20 with reactant gases.Venting port 22 is in order to the reactant gases among the discharge reaction compartment E, and the vacuum in the conditioned reaction space E.
Pit cover 12 is connected to RF (less radio-frequency) voltage source 13, and substrate-placing plate 14 is connected to ground terminal, and this Pit cover and substrate-placing plate are respectively as top electrode and lower electrode.In view of the above, when reactant gases flowed into reaction compartment E, Pit cover 12 and substrate-placing plate 14 were in order to activated reactive gas.
Gas distribution plate 20 comprises several filling orifices 18.Gas distribution plate 20 and Pit cover 12 couplings, and spatial accommodation is formed between gas distribution plate 20 and the Pit cover 12, in order to hold the reactant gases of supplying from feed tube 24.Substrate-placing plate 14 moves down and carries/unload carried base board 2, and moves up, to form or etch thin film on substrate 2.In other words, the setting of substrate-placing plate 14 is to make its upper and lower moving.
Edge frame 26 is fixed in the inwall of chamber 11.When substrate-placing plate 14 moved up, edge frame 26 had shielded the outer peripheral areas of substrate 2, thereby prevented that the film of the outer peripheral areas of substrate 2 from forming.
Feed tube 24 is installed, makes it pass the middle portion of Pit cover 12.Baffle plate (not illustrating) is installed in the position of the corresponding feed tube 24 in the spatial accommodation, in order to will be from the reactant gases uniform distribution of feed tube 24.Venting port 22 and vacuum pump (not illustrating) coupling, with the reactant gases among the discharge reaction compartment E, or the vacuum in the conditioned reaction space E.
The film that is deposited on the substrate 2 must have homogeneous thickness and attribute in whole base plate 2.Reactant gases evenly is supplied on the substrate 2, and the electricity that between gas distribution plate 20 and substrate-placing plate 14, produces slurry homogeneity, uniform thickness and attribute can be influenced.In the inhomogeneity factor of even supply that influences reactant gases and electricity slurry, principal element be between gas distribution plate 20 and substrate-placing plate 14 apart from isotropism.In other words, when the distance between gas distribution plate 20 and substrate-placing plate 14 is all equalization, just can obtain the uniformity of film on the substrate 2.
As shown in Figure 1, gas distribution plate 20 was carrying out thin film deposition before the processing on the substrate 2, and its state is parallel with substrate-placing plate 14.Yet after finishing the processing of thin film deposition on substrate 2, the temperature of reaction compartment E must be increased to preset temperature, with decomposition and the reaction of carrying out reactant gases.Because increase in temperature, the gas distribution plate 20 that is installed in Pit cover 12 can expand.As shown in Figure 2, when gas distribution plate 20 expanded, gas distribution plate 20 can be sagging because of the weight effect of gas distribution plate.In view of the above, the distance between gas distribution plate 20 and substrate-placing plate 14 can increase from the edge toward middle.In other words, can be greater than at intermediary distance D cen at the distance D edg at edge.
Moreover along with the size increase of substrate 2 and gas distribution plate 20, in order to handle large size display unit or solar cell, the sagging distortion of gas distribution plate 20 worsens more.In view of the above, be supplied to the reactant gases density on the substrate 2, and the electric pulp density between gas distribution plate 20 and substrate-placing plate 14, be not for evenly, therefore be difficult to the thin film deposition homogeneity of acquisition at substrate 2.Moreover, when the film on the etching substrates 2, be difficult to obtain etch uniformity.Therefore, the homogeneity of film meeting deterioration, production efficiency just reduces.

Now be described in detail embodiments of the invention with reference to alterations.
Fig. 3 illustrates the gas distribution plate of substrate processing apparatus and the sectional view of substrate-placing plate according to the first embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 4 and Fig. 5 illustrate the top of gas distribution plate and the orthographic plan of lower surface respectively according to the first embodiment of the present invention.
With reference to Fig. 3 to Fig. 5, in the substrate processing apparatus of first embodiment, gas distribution plate 200 comprises first surface 201 (being called top surface), second surface 203 (being called lower surface) and first and second side surface 205 and 207.First surface 201 can be parallel to substrate-placing plate 114.Second surface 203 is towards substrate-placing plate 114, and it also has recess shapes, as contains the recess shapes of concave surface.Gas distribution plate 200 has several filling orifices 210, and reactant gases is injected towards the substrate 102 that is positioned on the substrate-placing plate 114.Gas distribution plate 200 and substrate-placing plate 114 are arranged in the chamber (not illustrating) that is provided with reaction compartment (not illustrating).Gas distribution plate 200 and substrate-placing plate 114 can have the identical shape of essence in the plane, as circle or rectangular shape.
Each filling orifice 210 can comprise the part 214 that becomes a mandarin, bore portions 212 and diffusion part 216.Part that becomes a mandarin 214 and diffusion part 216 are respectively as the inlet and the outlet of filling orifice 210.
The part that becomes a mandarin 214 is extended towards second surface 203 from first surface 201.Know from experience the part 214 that becomes a mandarin from the reaction gas of outside supply.Bore portions 212 is led to the part 214 that becomes a mandarin, and its diameter can be less than the diameter of the part 214 that becomes a mandarin.Diffusion part 216 leads to bore portions 212, and extends to second surface 203, and reactant gases is supplied towards substrate-placing plate 114.Several filling orifices 210 can distribute with the essence identical distance on gas distribution plate 200 equably.
For deposition or etch thin film on substrate 102, reactant gases is supplied to the reaction compartment of chamber, and the temperature in the chamber can be increased to Celsius approximately 200 or 500 and spends.In view of the above, gas distribution plate 200 can thermal expansions, and under the weight effect of gas distribution plate 200 and sagging.Describe as correlation technique,,, can reduce from the edge toward the centre just the distance between gas distribution plate and substrate-placing plate can not be equalization if gas distribution plate is smooth.
Yet the gas distribution plate 200 of first embodiment has the recess shapes that contains concave surface on second surface 203, with compensation caused because of gas distribution plate 200 is sagging apart from disparity.In other words, before deposition or etch thin film on the substrate 102, the distance between gas distribution plate 200 and substrate-placing plate 114 reduces from the edge toward the centre.For example, at the distance D edg at edge less than at intermediary distance D cen.Then, when deposition on substrate 102 or during etch thin film, gas distribution plate 200 sagging is that the thermal expansion because of gas distribution plate 200 causes.Yet because of considering the sagging of gas distribution plate 200 in advance, second surface 203 has the recess shapes that contains concave surface.In view of the above, even gas distribution plate 200 is sagging, the structure with the recess shapes that contains concave surface of second surface 203 can compensate the unequal distance that causes because of sagging.Therefore, the distance between gas distribution plate 200 and substrate-placing plate 114 can be essentially whole equalizations.For example, ' edg can essence be same as during treatment substrate 102 be positioned at the intermediary distance D ' cen in the distance D that is positioned at the edge during the treatment substrate 102.
For example, second surface 203 can have the gas distribution plate of smooth second surface and forms by preparation, then, based on experiment or simulation, consider the downward protrusion radian of the smooth second surface that causes because of thermal expansion, handle smooth second surface, contain the second surface 203 of concave surface with formation.When handling smooth second surface, also can consider volume because of the downward protrusion of smooth second surface that thermal expansion causes.
Have the recess shapes that contains concave surface because second surface 203 formed, the thickness of gas distribution plate 200 can reduce from the edge toward the centre.When the gas distribution plate thermal expansion, the distance between gas distribution plate 200 and substrate-placing plate 114 can be impartial, but first surface 201 has sinking part 123.Yet sinking part 123 can not influence the injection that reactant gases passes filling orifice 210 in fact.
As mentioned above, second surface 203 will be in order to becoming equalization between the distance between gas distribution plate 200 and the substrate-placing plate 114, and this can improve reactant gases and the electric density uniformity of starching in the reaction compartment.Yet because of diffusion part 216 events, the density of reactant gases can change because of the position is different.
More specifically, the diameter of diffusion part 216 212 increases to second surface 203 from the aperture.For example, diffusion part 216 has truncated cone.Several parts 214 that become a mandarin have the identical height of essence, that is, the first gas passage L1 that essence is identical, and several bore portions 212 have the identical height of essence, that is, the second gas passage L2 that essence is identical.Yet because of the second surface 203 events that contain recess, several diffusion parts 216 have the 3rd gas passage L3 that differs from one another.In other words, because of the second surface 203 events that contain recess, the 3rd gas passage L3 reduces from the edge toward the centre.Moreover because of each diffusion part 216 has truncated cone, several diffusion parts 216 have the diameter that differs from one another.In other words, the diameter of diffusion part 216 reduces from the edge toward the centre.
The part that becomes a mandarin 214 is by the specific gas flow rate and the gas flow of bore portions 212 conditioned reaction gases.Diameter is greater than the diffusion part 216 of the diameter of bore portions 212, and it spreads in order to the reactant gases that will pass become a mandarin part 214 and bore portions 212, and reactant gases evenly is injected on the substrate 102.The reactant gases that is fed on the substrate 102 is directly proportional with the diameter of bore portions 212 and the volume of diffusion part 216.Several become a mandarin partly and bore portions 214 and 212 has essence identical first and second gas passage L1 and L2 respectively.Yet several diffusion parts 216 have the 3rd gas passage L3 and the volume that differs from one another.In view of the above, the injection rate from the reactant gases of several diffusion parts 216 is different each other.In other words, injection rate reduces from the edge toward the centre.
With reference to Fig. 4, several parts 214 that become a mandarin that are positioned at the first surface 201 of gas distribution plate 200 have the identical diameter S1 of essence, each other and spaced apart with essence identical distance P1.With reference to Fig. 5, several diffusion parts 216 have different diameter S1 ..., Sn, each other and with different interval P1 ..., Pn is spaced apart.For example, diffusion partly 216 diameter increases toward the edge from middle, and the interval between several diffusion parts 216 reduces toward the edge from middle.
In view of the above, compensated the sagging unequal distance that causes because of gas distribution plate 200 even contain the second surface 203 of concave surface because diffusion part 216 have different gas passages and volume so, the injection rate of reactant gases can increase toward the edge from middle.Therefore, the reactant gases density between gas distribution plate 200 and substrate-placing plate 114 can be uneven, thereby can make on substrate 102 film uniform deposition or etching is quite difficult.
For head it off, second embodiment is proposed now, as following.
Fig. 6 is the sectional view that illustrates substrate processing apparatus according to a second embodiment of the present invention, and Fig. 7 is the sectional view that illustrates gas distribution plate and substrate-placing plate according to a second embodiment of the present invention.Fig. 8 amplifies the sectional view that illustrates a part of gas distribution plate according to a second embodiment of the present invention.Fig. 9 and Figure 10 illustrate the top of gas distribution plate and the sectional view of lower surface according to a second embodiment of the present invention and respectively.Now will omit in the present embodiment narration with the first embodiment similar components.
With reference to Fig. 6 to Figure 10, the substrate processing apparatus 110 of second embodiment comprises chamber 111, and this chamber comprises Pit cover 112, and portion is provided with reaction compartment E within it.Substrate-placing plate 114 is positioned at reaction compartment E, and substrate 102 mountings are on substrate-placing plate 114.Well heater 128 is installed in the substrate-placing plate 114, with heated substrates 102.Gas distribution plate 200 is supplied reactant gases towards substrate-placing plate 114.Edge frame 126 connects airtight on the inwall of chamber 111, and it is in order to prevent the outer peripheral areas of thin film deposition at substrate 102.Feed tube 124 supply reactant gasess.Reactant gases in the venting port 122 conditioned reaction space E, and the vacuum among the reaction compartment E.
Pit cover 112 is connected to RF (less radio-frequency) voltage source 113, and substrate-placing plate 114 is connected to ground terminal, and this Pit cover and substrate-placing plate are respectively as top electrode and lower electrode.In view of the above, when reactant gases flowed into reaction compartment E, Pit cover 112 and substrate-placing plate 114 were in order to activated reactive gas.
Gas distribution plate 200 comprises several filling orifices 310.Gas distribution plate 200 and Pit cover 112 couplings, and spatial accommodation is formed between gas distribution plate 200 and Pit cover 112, this spatial accommodation and in order to hold the reactant gases of supply from feed tube 124.Substrate-placing plate 114 moves down and carries/unload carried base board 102, itself and move up form or etching substrates 102 on film.In other words, substrate-placing plate 114 is in order to move up and down.
Edge frame 126 is fixed in the inwall of chamber 111.When substrate-placing plate 114 upwards moved, edge frame 126 had shielded the outer peripheral areas of substrate 102.Therefore prevent that film is formed on the outer peripheral areas of substrate 102.
Feed tube 124 is installed, makes it pass the middle portion of Pit cover 112.Baffle plate (not illustrating) is installed in the position of the corresponding feed tube 124 in the spatial accommodation, and in order to the reactant gases of uniformly distributing from feed tube 124.Venting port 122 and vacuum pump (not illustrating) coupling, so that the reactant gases among the reaction compartment E is discharged, or the vacuum in the conditioned reaction space E.
Gas distribution plate 200 comprises first surface 201 (being called top surface), second surface 203 (being called lower surface) and first and second side surface 205 and 207.First surface 201 can be parallel with substrate-placing plate 114.Second surface 203 is towards substrate-placing plate 114, and has recess shapes, as contains the recess shapes of concave surface.
Gas distribution plate 200 has several filling orifices 310, and reactant gases is injected on the substrate 102 that is positioned on the substrate-placing plate 114.Gas distribution plate 200 and substrate-placing plate 114 are positioned at reaction compartment E.Gas distribution plate 200 and substrate-placing plate 114 can have the identical shape of essence in the plane, as circle or rectangular shape.
Each filling orifice 310 can comprise the part 314 that becomes a mandarin, bore portions 312 and diffusion part 316.Part that becomes a mandarin 314 and diffusion part 316 are respectively as the inlet and the outlet of filling orifice 310.
The part that becomes a mandarin 314 is extended towards second surface 203 from first surface 201.From the reactant gases of outside supply becomes a mandarin part 314.Bore portions 312 is led to the part 314 that becomes a mandarin, and its diameter can be less than the diameter of the part 314 that becomes a mandarin.Diffusion part 316 leads to bore portions 312, and extends to second surface 203, and reactant gases is injected on the substrate-placing plate 114.Several filling orifices 310 can distribute with the essence identical distance on gas distribution plate 200 equably.
Before treatment substrate 102, the distance between gas distribution plate 200 and substrate-placing plate 114 increases from the edge toward middle.For example, at the distance D edg at edge less than at intermediary distance D cen.Then, when treatment substrate 102, gas distribution plate 200 can be sagging, and therefore the distance between gas distribution plate 200 and substrate-placing plate 114 becomes equalization.For example, ' edg can essence be same as during treatment substrate 102 be positioned at the intermediary distance D ' cen in the distance D that is positioned at the edge during the treatment substrate 102.
The part that becomes a mandarin 314 has and is about several microns diameter, itself and by bore portions 312 adjustments of gas flow rate and gas flows.Diameter is greater than the diffusion part 316 of the diameter of bore portions 312, and it spreads in order to the reactant gases that will pass become a mandarin part 314 and bore portions 312, and reactant gases evenly is injected on the substrate 102.The reactant gases that is fed on the substrate 102 is directly proportional with the diameter of bore portions 312 and the volume of diffusion part 316.In a second embodiment, several diffusion parts 316 have the identical volume of essence, so that the reactant gases uniformly distributing is on substrate 102.
The part that becomes a mandarin 314 extends to corresponding bore portions 312 from first surface 210.Several bore portions 312 are arranged to the concave of second surface 203 with the identical shape of essence.In view of the above, the become a mandarin height of part 314 increases toward the edge from middle.With reference to Fig. 8, three adjacent parts 314 that become a mandarin have three height that differ from one another, that is, three gas passage ID1 to ID3.In other words, the become a mandarin first gas passage L1 of part 314 increases toward the edge from middle usually: ID1<ID2<ID3.
Several bore portions 312 and several diffusion parts 316 are parallel with second surface 203.In view of the above, several bore portions 312 have the second identical gas passage L2 of essence, and several diffusion parts 316 have the 3rd identical gas passage L3 of essence.
With reference to Fig. 9, when observing several from first surface 201 and become a mandarin part 314, several parts 314 that become a mandarin have the identical diameter S1 of essence, each other and spaced apart with essence identical distance P1.Yet with reference to Fig. 7, when several became a mandarin part 314 from second surface 203 observations, several parts that become a mandarin seemed spaced apart by different interval each other, as different interval P1 ' and P1 ".
With reference to Figure 10, when from second surface 203 several diffusion parts 316 of observation, several diffusion parts 316 have the identical diameter S2 of essence, and are spaced apart with essence identical distance P2 each other.Can have shape as elliptic arc because contain the section of the second surface 203 of concave surface, and the central axial line of each diffusion part 316 is perpendicular to substrate-placing plate 114, the area of the diffusion part of observing from second surface 203 316 can increase toward the edge from middle slightly.Yet this increases the variation that can not influence the amount of reactant gases of being injected from diffusion part 316 in fact slightly.In view of the above, just several diffusion parts 316 are considered as having the identical diameter S2 of essence, each other and spaced apart with essence identical distance P2.
