In the present invention, the setting of the temperature of process cavity is the most key, but to make passivation effect more preferably, also be unable to do without feed cavity and The setting of each parameter of preheating cavity.In the present invention, each parameter coordination cooperation in these three chambers, keeps final silicon nitride film fine and close Property, reflectivity and passivation effect are all very good.
Preferably, when feed cavity is warming up to T1' when, silicon wafer leaves feed cavity and enters preheating cavity;When preheating cavity is warming up to T2' when, silicon wafer leaves preheating cavity and enters process cavity.
Heretofore described T1' and T2' maximum temperature of feed cavity and the maximum temperature of preheating cavity are respectively referred to, the two temperature Spend it is different from set temperature when practical operation, be illustrated by taking feed cavity as an example: set temperature to T, when temperature reach T (T < T1') when stop heating, the temperature of feed cavity that waste heat can make continue increase reaches maximum temperature T1'.The present invention needs to guarantee: when Feed cavity temperature reaches T1' when so that silicon wafer is left feed cavity and is entered preheating cavity.
In the present invention, from silicon wafer, stationary state heating is accomplished to and leaves feed cavity and enter preheating cavity in feed cavity, though So experience regular hour, this period is interior, and there is no the declines of temperature, although warm because reaching setting in this period It is no longer heat up after degree, but waste heat is rising the temperature of feed cavity still, and controls temperature when silicon wafer leaves feed cavity It is just the maximum temperature T of feed cavity1’。
It in the present invention, is separated between preheating cavity and process cavity without door, escape to from preheating cavity into process cavity and also do not deposit The case where temperature reduces.
In the present invention, the silicon wafer successively passes through the whole process of feed cavity, preheating cavity and process cavity, temperature locating for silicon wafer It is gentle to spend versus time curve, without the phenomenon that skyrocketing or dropping suddenly.
Preferably, method of the invention further includes sequentially entering cooling chamber and discharging chamber after silicon wafer leaves process cavity Step.
Preferably, the cleannes requirement of the feed cavity are as follows: before using feed cavity, the heating plate in feed cavity is torn open It removes, it is clean to dip in alcohol thorough cleaning with non-dust cloth.Since when feed cavity heats up, silicon wafer is static, and heat up time compared with A length of 25s~30s, thus the cleannes of feed cavity are required it is also higher than preheating cavity and process cavity, it is preferred by the way of are as follows: Before feed cavity use, such as when each board PM (maintenance), the heating plate in feed cavity is removed, dips in alcohol with non-dust cloth Thorough cleaning is clean, thus ensure that silicon wafer in the cleanliness of the front surface of deposited silicon nitride, reduces the compound of silicon chip surface, Increase silicon nitride film deposition effect and hydrogen passivation effect.
The optimal technical scheme of deposition method as silicon nitride film of the present invention, the method is using board-like PECVD system tears the heating plate in feed cavity open before silicon nitride film deposition in silicon chip surface cvd nitride silicon thin film It removes, it is clean to dip in alcohol thorough cleaning with non-dust cloth;Silicon wafer is fixed on graphite frame;Silicon wafer enters in feed cavity, quiet in silicon wafer Feed cavity is set to heat up in the case where only with 10 DEG C/s~15 DEG C/s heating rate, and herein during heating to silicon wafer Surface inflated with nitrogen, the nitrogen flow being filled be 800sccm;When preheating cavity temperature reaches maximum temperature T1' when silicon wafer is moved into In preheating cavity, the temperature of preheating cavity is the minimum temperature T of preheating cavity when immigration2=T1', make preheating cavity with 5 DEG C/s~10 DEG C/s Heating rate heats up, when preheating cavity temperature reaches maximum temperature T2' when by silicon wafer move into process cavity in, silicon wafer leaves preheating The temperature that the temperature of chamber and silicon wafer enter process cavity is identical, and silicon wafer enter process cavity after make process cavity with 5 DEG C/s~10 DEG C/s Heating rate heat up, silicon wafer remove process cavity after enter cooling chamber cooled down, then from discharging chamber discharge, realize pair Wafers silicon nitride film deposition and hydrogen passivation.
In this optimal technical scheme, by the basis of existing technology, one being added before original preheating cavity Feed cavity, and the design of original thermal field is improved, the temperature of preheating cavity is reduced, and adjust feed cavity, preheating cavity and work The temperature of skill chamber is connected matching relationship, passes through silicon wafer successively during the entire process of feed cavity, preheating cavity and process cavity, silicon wafer institute The temperature versus time curve at place gently rises, and without the phenomenon that skyrocketing or dropping suddenly, is conducive to improve silicon nitride film deposition Effect and hydrogen passivation effect are also greatly reduced the crack probability of silicon wafer.Moreover, on the one hand by quiet in silicon wafer in the present invention To silicon wafer inflated with nitrogen when only and feed cavity heats up, the cleannes requirement of feed cavity is on the other hand improved, so that silicon chip surface is clean Degree improves, and reduces the compound of silicon chip surface and compound with impurity particle, is conducive to obtain good hydrogen passivation effect, mention Efficiency, the method for the deposition method of silicon nitride film of the invention compared with the existing technology are risen, efficiency EFF has 0.08% to mention It rises, also has promotion on open-circuit voltage Uoc and short circuit current Isc.
Compared with the prior art, the invention has the following beneficial effects:
1. the present invention joined feed cavity before existing preheating cavity, and redesign thermal field curve, pre- by reducing The temperature of hot chamber, and design the temperature variation curve of feed cavity, during the entire process of feed cavity to preheating cavity, on temperature is slow It rises, to reduce temperature when silicon chip surface has just started deposited silicon nitride, the heavy of H ion is more advantageous under this cryogenic conditions Product, reduces the spilling of H ion, has been finally reached the effect for promoting H passivation and improving silicon nitride film deposition effect;And And the temperature for reducing feed cavity and preheating cavity can also reduce power output, reduce power consumption.
2. requiring in the present invention the cleannes in feed cavity to have re-started definition, feed cavity is proposed and compares preheating cavity With the higher cleannes requirement of process cavity, the proposition that this cleannes requires is the static heating of middle silicon wafer according to the present invention, and is added The parameters such as hot temperature and time and propose, ensure that silicon chip surface before deposited silicon nitride, the cleanliness of silicon chip surface, reduce Silicon chip surface it is compound, increase silicon nitride film deposition effect and hydrogen passivation effect.
3. being improved in the present invention to environment in feed cavity, silicon wafer fills N in static heating, to silicon chip surface2, right Silicon chip surface is cleaned, and the cleanliness of silicon chip surface is further improved, and improves surface passivation effect.
4. method operation of the invention and control are simple, temperature condition of the invention only need to be set in board, fitted In popularization.
5. in the present invention, being sequentially connected altogether by feed cavity temperature curve, preheating cavity temperature curve and process cavity temperature curve Gently rise from low to high with the thermal field curve constituted, avoids steep temperature excursion in the temperature curve of prior art Central Plains and drop suddenly And the big problem of silicon wafer crack probability caused.
