While in plasma-reinforced chemical vapor deposition process cavity of the present invention, carrying out chemical vapor deposition, reactant gases enters described inlet mouth 110, by described battery lead plate 102, diffuse in described cavity 101, described radio-frequency power supply 111 is applied to the radio frequency power produced on described battery lead plate 102 makes the reactant gases in described cavity 101 be activated into plasma, after the gas reaction be excited, on the described semiconductor wafer 100 be positioned on described heating support component 103, form deposited film.In the process of deposited film, described semiconductor wafer 100 is heated by the well heater 105 in described heating support component 103, to promote surface reaction and to reduce undesirable impurity, produces.Described heating support component 103 is generally ground connection, thereby described radio-frequency power supply 111 is applied on described battery lead plate 102, produces radio frequency power.
For outside the supply lead 108 of avoiding the described well heater 105 in described heating support component 103 is exposed to, cause described supply lead 108 ground connection to be short-circuited, be provided with heater power lead encapsulation box 106 in described heating support component 103, after making described supply lead 108 bottom by described cavity 101 entering described cavity 101 from described cavity 101, the supply lead 108 between described well heater 105 and described cavity 101 bottoms is encapsulated by described heater power lead encapsulation box 106.
The volatile by-product produced in the process cavity inner reaction can be extracted out by the central row pore 302 on described well heater 105 and described off-gas pump Link Port 107 by described off-gas pump 109.Because described semiconductor wafer 100 is positioned on described well heater 105 on the part higher than described depressed part 301, and on described well heater 105 higher than the part of described depressed part 301 some grooves 303 that distributing, therefore the gas in process cavity can enter to described central row pore 302 by described groove 303, then is extracted out by described off-gas pump 109 via described off-gas pump Link Port 107.So not only can make the volatile by-product in process cavity be drawn out of, but also can more firm being adsorbed on described well heater 105 by the described semiconductor wafer 100 of air pressure official post.But thus, the air pressure at described off-gas pump Link Port 107 places is by the inevitable elsewhere interior lower than cavity 101, therefore can by described cavity 101 surroundings, to described off-gas pump Link Port 107 places, be flowed in the interior formation of described cavity 101 than air flow, and it is thinner near the right box body 203 on the described heater power lead encapsulation box 106 of described off-gas pump Link Port 107, easily by said flow, blown down, from and can make described supply lead 108 is exposed to, cause the danger that described supply lead 108 may ground short circuits.Once described supply lead 108 ground short circuits, will cause whole process cavity to shut down.In the present invention; for overcoming this defect; by the periphery at described heater power lead encapsulation box 106, described protective guard 401 also is set and stops said flow, any side that makes said flow can't blow down in the described heater power lead encapsulation left box body of box 106 and right box body.Can guarantee like this risk that described heater power lead 108 does not have ground short circuit, causes process cavity to shut down.
Obviously, those skilled in the art can carry out various changes and modification and not break away from the spirit and scope of the present invention the present invention.Like this, if within of the present invention these are revised and modification belongs to the scope of the claims in the present invention and equivalent technologies thereof, the present invention also is intended to comprise these changes and modification interior.
