Embodiment
In order to make those skilled in the art person understand the present invention program better, the present invention is described in further detail below in conjunction with the drawings and specific embodiments.
The radio-frequency unit that is used for apparatus for processing plasma provided by the present invention comprises radio-frequency power supply, radio frequency adaptation and inductance-coupled coil, and the three connects successively.
Please refer to Fig. 3, Fig. 3 is the structural representation of a kind of embodiment of inductance-coupled coil provided by the present invention.
In first kind of embodiment, inductance-coupled coil provided by the present invention comprises two phase independent parts at least, i.e. centering coil L1 and periphery coil L2.
Centering coil L1 is located at the center at described apparatus for processing plasma reaction chamber top, and periphery coil L2 is positioned at the circumferential position at described apparatus for processing plasma reaction chamber top, and periphery coil L2 is around centering coil L1.Obviously, the below of centering coil L1 and periphery coil L2 corresponds respectively to the centre and the periphery position of reaction chamber, and both are input radio frequency energy in described centre and periphery position respectively, and then excites and keep plasma.Therefore, described reaction chamber directly upwards also just forms two zones that plasma density is different at it, and the plasma in each zone is mainly excited by the radio-frequency (RF) energy from different coils.
Because the ratio of radio-frequency current can be adjusted among centering coil L1 and the periphery coil L2, therefore, can subregion control the concentration of described reaction chamber ionic medium body.When described reaction chamber is radially gone up the plasma density unevenness when even, can adjust the ratio of radio-frequency current among centering coil L1 and the periphery coil L2 as the case may be, thereby adjust both in the centre of described reaction chamber and the relative intensity of periphery electromagnetic field that the position forms, so that eliminate the difference that described reaction chamber is radially gone up plasma density, and then guarantee that the various technical processs of carrying out in the apparatus for processing plasma finish smoothly.
The outside of periphery coil L2 can further be provided with one group or organize the periphery coil more, and each periphery coil is along the radial distribution at described reaction chamber top.Like this, described reaction chamber is in its zone that directly upwards can further form three or more, and the plasma in each zone is excited by the radio-frequency (RF) energy from different coils equally.
Footpath at the reaction chamber top makes progress, and can keep suitable distance between centering coil L1 and the periphery coil L2, and this distance is obviously obviously greater than the spacing between two adjacent in the every group of coil circles.Because the concentration of reaction chamber centre plasma is higher easily, keep above-mentioned suitable distance to help avoiding the excessive concentration of plasma in the reaction chamber centre between centering coil L1 and the periphery coil L2, therefore plasma will be more even in the distribution that reaction chamber directly makes progress.
