Detailed description of the invention
Fig. 1 and Fig. 2 is for illustrating basic conception of the invention;
Fig. 3 is the structural schematic diagram of inductive type plasma treatment appts one embodiment of the present invention.
Specific embodiment
System in inductively coupled plasma body (ICP) etching device for generating, maintaining plasma mainly includes line Enclose (coil) and radio frequency power source (source power), matching network etc..Wherein, coil is used to motivate plasma, Distribution network is used to the impedance conversion that coil and plasma generate be a fixed value (such as 50 Ω).Coil of different shapes, The impedance to matching network input terminal equivalent to plasma caused by same process conditions is different.Plasma impedance Also it is influenced by the factors such as air pressure, gas, radio-frequency power in reaction chamber.This causes plasma impedance variation in reaction chamber bright It is aobvious.Therefore, in order to meet polytechnic demand, there is certain requirement to the scope of application of matching network.
In order to realize uniform plasma density distribution over a greater surface area, and in order to adjust plasma anti- The distribution of chamber radial direction is answered, concentric multizone coil is used by various etching apparatus more and more, such as Fig. 1, is located at reaction chamber Two groups of coils are provided in the insulation windows 3 at top, positioned at the first coil 1 of fringe region and second coil in centrally located region 2。
In the equipment for motivating plasma using the structure of multiple coils, it will usually divide the power of each coil Match.In view of cost and its complexity of structure can use a radio frequency power source generally for concentric multizone loop construction (radio frequency power source) 42, matching networks 44, the structure of an additional power divider 46 (power distributing circuit) realize, As shown in Figure 2.
When radio-frequency power is assigned to each coil 1 and 2 by power divider 46, the equivalent impedance value of each coil (impedance value is related to the Multiple factors such as air pressure, gas, radio-frequency power in reaction chamber) is also different, and impedance value can be with function Rate allocation proportion and change.The equivalent impedance value to matching network output end can also change, the impedance value both with line The equivalent impedance of circle 1,2 is related, is also obviously influenced by power sharing ratio.That is, the matching range of matching network It will receive the influence of power sharing ratio.
In order to realize that the plasma density between large range of middle section/fringe region is adjusted, it is necessary to power Allocation proportion has sufficiently large variation, this impedance value that will lead to matching network output end has very big fluctuation, thus it requires Matching network must have broader matching range.
In current related patents and document, analyzes or tested to realize in narrow matching without reference to any technology Under range, broader power sharing ratio regulating power is realized.
Inventor is the study found that in the case where coil 1 is close with 2 inductance value of coil, the resistance of matching network output end It is anti-insensitive to the variation of power sharing ratio, that is, the impedance of matching network output end is hardly by power sharing ratio It influences.Obviously, in this case, even if matching network only has relatively narrow matching range, broader power distribution can also be realized Ability, stronger radio-frequency power regulating power.
Fig. 3 is one embodiment of inductive type plasma treatment appts of the present invention, is specially an inductive type Plasma etching device.The processing unit includes a reaction chamber 100, and the lower section inside reaction chamber 100 is provided with for putting The pedestal 20 of substrate to be processed is set, a bias power source 6 is connected to pedestal 20 by a matching network.The bias power source Main function be control reaction chamber in plasma incident angle and direction.One exhaust apparatus (not shown) connection To the outer edge area of pedestal 20, for taking the newly-generated gas in reaction process away and partially having not enough time to participate in the anti-of reaction Gas is answered, to control the air pressure in reaction chamber 100.It is an insulation windows 3 at the top of reaction chamber 100, since it is electrically insulating material system At, thus the electromagnetic field of top can pass through it into reaction chamber 100, is dissociated and is generated with the reaction gas in provocative reaction chamber 100 Plasma carries out process.
At least two induction coils are provided with above insulation windows 3: first coil 1 and the second coil 2, first coil 1 are located at The periphery of second coil 2.In other embodiments, can also there are more coils, for example, can be between the first and second coil 1 and 2 Add a coil.
Radio frequency power source 42 pass sequentially through a matching network 44, a power divider 46 respectively with first coil 1, the second line 2 connection of circle.First and second coil 1 and 2 generates an electromagnetic field of high frequency, this high-frequency electromagnetic after being applied HFRF power Field is passed down through insulation windows 3 and enters inside reaction chamber 100, and the reaction gas in activated reactions chamber 100 generates and maintains needs Plasma.Power divider 46 can make adjustment to the power sharing ratio between first coil 1 and the second coil 2, to adjust Save Density Distribution of the plasma in reaction chamber 100.For example, the plasma density when middle section is significantly less than marginal zone When domain, this balance can be improved by improving 2 power of the second coil, reduction by 1 power of first coil.
First coil 1 and the inductance value of both the second coils 2 are roughly equal.A large amount of experiment all shows to work as first coil When with the ratio of both the second coils inductance value between 0.90 to 1.12, power sharing ratio between first coil and the second coil Adjustment cannot significantly affect the impedance (i.e. load impedance) of matching network output end substantially.In this way, having relatively narrow matching model The matching network enclosed can also be competent at following harshness, and use environment --- this environmental requirement can tolerate power distribution by a relatively large margin Ratio adjustment.Certainly, the ratio of the inductance value is closer, and improved effect can be also more obvious.As more preferably embodiment, the ratio Value can be between 0.95 to 1.06.
In usual etching apparatus, first coil and the second coil have same shape, due to first coil Diameter be greater than the diameter of the second coil, this makes the inductance value of first coil tend to the inductance value greater than the second coil.For Make first coil 1 and the second coil 2 that there is roughly equal inductance value in the present embodiment to increase the line of the second coil 2 Enclose the number of turns.
Following parameter (coil diameter;Coil turn;Form the diameter of the conducting wire of coil;The material of the conducting wire of coil is formed, Deng) size of coil inductance can be influenced, thus, in other embodiments, by adjusting either of which item or it can appoint Several combinations realize that inductance value is roughly equal.
Illustrate a bit, to adjust the inductance value of the first and second coil, both make to reach of substantially equal degree (first coil with The ratio of both second coils inductance value is between 0.90 to 1.12), it no doubt can admirably solve described technology in specification and ask Topic;If but above-mentioned adjustment is not in place (that is, the inductance value both made is not closer to but reaching of substantially equal journey Degree), it can still improve aforementioned technical problem to a certain extent, the degree only improved is slightly not so good as, so, it should It is regarded as a part of the invention.
It is discussed in detail although the contents of the present invention have passed through above preferred embodiment, but it should be appreciated that above-mentioned Description is not considered as limitation of the present invention.After those skilled in the art have read above content, for of the invention A variety of modifications and substitutions all will be apparent.Therefore, protection scope of the present invention should be limited to the appended claims.
