Background technology
Product integrated level height, become more meticulous, high efficiency, low cost, be the direct driving force of microfabrication development of manufacturing such as integrated circuit always.Since 1970, plasma process is at first brought into use in the device manufacturing, and this makes the plasma process technology become the key technology of large scale integrated circuit industrial circle microfabrication such as (LSI).At present, plasma process technology such as etching, ion injection, cleaning, deposition are widely used in the manufacturing process of very lagre scale integrated circuit (VLSIC).The plasma process technology is mainly used in SiO
2, Si
xN
yDeng the microfabrication of semiconductive thin films such as dielectric film, Si, GaAs and metallic films such as Al, Cu, this technology is uniquely can effectively accurately control various scantlings to the submicron order size, and has the technology of high repeatability.
Yet along with dwindling of device feature size, in the microfabrication below the submicron order size, the plasma process technology need solve the problem of rapidoprint and device damage.Particularly there is a series of problem in etching technics.Plasma etch process, when need solve high uniformity, high selectivity and depth-to-width ratio, satisfy the requirement of high etching rate, low damage, in this process, be easy to generate subject matters such as irradiation damage that electrostatic damage, ion bombardment damage, ultraviolet light and X-ray cause, electronic shadow effect.
Problems such as plasma damage can influence etching precision and device performance, cause discomposition, non-localized lattice, dangling bonds, and phenomenon such as threshold voltage shift, mutual conductance degeneration, junction leakage increase.These problems are along with device feature size reduces to become outstanding further, and particularly the accurate etching below 10nm is very difficult.Therefore, becoming more meticulous of integrated circuit had higher requirement to technology and equipment, and traditional plasma processing tool is difficult to satisfy the requirement that further becomes more meticulous and process.
The neutral particle technology is a kind of method that can solve problem such as material and device damage in the microfabrication.This technology adopts the method that generates eutral particle beam, has finely solved electrostatic damage in the plasma etching, has weakened problems such as irradiation damage, has improved craft precision and device performance, satisfies the requirement that the integrated circuit manufacturing constantly becomes more meticulous.
Fig. 1,2 illustrate a neutral particle process system respectively.This system is under the certain vacuum condition, after process gas enters reative cell 102 tops from air inlet 111, on snail type radio-frequency coil 122, load radio-frequency power, make process gas under the exciting of radio-frequency power supply 121, produce plasma on reative cell 102 tops.In plasma atmosphere, produce ion, free radical, molecule, atom etc. are arranged.Ion quickens by Dc bias 124, by obtaining energy behind the aperture on the neutralization web plate 123 and realizing the ion neutralization.When being added with voltage on the web plate 123, ion can quicken to obtain energy at the volley to the web plate motion under effect of electric field in the reaction chamber.When ion motion is in the aperture of web plate, can bump with hole wall, carry out charge neutrality, form eutral particle beam 132.Eutral particle beam is handled the chip 104 that is placed on the slide holder 103, realizes technologies such as etching.During the eutral particle beam etching, the electric field strength that ion need be higher is quickened the back neutralization, thereby obtains the needed high-energy of etching.In this structure, when the downward web plate of cation moves, can not make the downward web plate motion of anion; When the downward web plate of anion is moved, can not make the downward web plate motion of cation.That is, can not be simultaneously to cation and anion neutralization.Yet must adopt mist by a certain percentage in some technologies, several different particles act on simultaneously and could satisfy technological requirement.But different types of gas discharge produce from the existence form difference.For example, when adopting the mixed gas discharge of CF4, Ar/O2, CF4, Ar ion mainly exist with the form of cation, and the O oxonium ion then mainly exists with the form of anion.This meeting causes CF4, Ar ion and O oxonium ion can not satisfy specific etching technics simultaneously by neutralization.
