Description
Technical field
The present invention relates to semiconductor equipment manufacturing technology field, especially relate to a kind of plasma-reaction-chamber and there is its plasma device.
Background technology
Plasma device is widely used in the manufacturing process of integrated circuit (IC) or MEMS.One of them significant purposes is exactly inductively coupled plasma (InductiveCoupledPlasma, ICP) device.Atom containing a large amount of electronics, ion, excitation state in plasma, molecule and free radical isoreactivity particle, these active particles and substrate interact and make material surface generation physical and chemical reaction, thus change the performance of material surface.
In etching process, strictly must control the temperature of plasma-reaction-chamber, because the temperature fluctuation in etching technics effect plasma reative cell is extremely sensitive, the direct uniformity affecting etch rate, and the temperature in control reative cell is in the particle deposition that suitable scope can also reduce reative cell sidewall, impel volatile residue to discharge reative cell in time, effectively can extend the cycle of preventive maintenance.
Existing a kind of plasma-reaction-chamber, realize controlling the temperature of reactor chamber by arranging heater, thermocouple and excess temperature switch on sidewall, electrostatic chuck in reative cell is by temperature control modules temperature control, but the medium window being positioned at reactor top does not have independent temperature control system, and the temperature of the effect of etching technics to medium window has obvious requirement, therefore generally realize controlling the temperature of medium window by increasing plasma starter process.But, there is following shortcoming in above-mentioned plasma-reaction-chamber: the quartz window 1) playing coupling does not have independent temperature to control, the temperature of quartz window can only be obtained by the interruption heating of plasma starter, this mode of heating is very unstable, and the step of plasma starter must be added in technical process, otherwise stable process results cannot be obtained; 2) increase the step of plasma starter, the time of monolithic technology must be extended, thus greatly reduce the output capacity of whole equipment; 3) quartz window does not have independently temperature sensor, is difficult to realize automatic temperature-adjusting and controls; 4), when plasma does not have a starter, quartz window temperature will decline, and volatile residue will contact with the quartz window of low temperature and produce number of polymers and cannot discharge, and this can cause the service life reduction of quartz window.
Chinese invention patent application CN101656194A discloses a kind of plasma chamber and temperature-controlled process thereof, and the temperature realizing medium window by arranging heating tape controls.But, above-mentioned plasma chamber has two shortcomings below: 1) mode of heating is all heat to quartz window at circumferencial direction, due to the non-conductor that quartz is heat, the heating of this circumferencial direction can cause the temperature difference to the radial direction of quartz window, affect the useful life of quartz window, the more important thing is, this mode of heating wants to realize quartz window bulk temperature evenly needs long time, causes production efficiency on the low side; 2) because quartz window exists the temperature difference diametrically, so the position of the installation of TC just affects the actual temperature that rear whole quartz window is lived in temperature control, and quartz window will be subject to the bombardment of plasma and slowly thinning in technical process, so first can vacuum breaker in the position of installing thermocouple, thus greatly reduce the useful life of quartz window, increase use cost.
