Description

Atomic layer deposition method for surface of three-dimensional bluff body
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of atomic deposition, in particular to a three-dimensional bluff body surface atomic layer deposition method.
Background
In the development of modern science and technology, particularly in the development of nano science and technology, almost all relevant applications relate to nano coating technology aiming at realizing various surface functions, particularly nano coating technology capable of controlling thickness at atomic scale. In the selection of the coating method, although the wet chemical method under the liquid phase condition has low cost, a uniform and compact high-quality nano coating layer with the same thickness is difficult to form. The currently widely used nano-coating technology is based on the nano-coating technology under the gas phase condition, such as physical vapor deposition, chemical vapor deposition, atomic layer deposition, and the like. The atomic layer deposition technology has a unique surface self-limiting growth mechanism, and the application range of the atomic layer deposition technology is rapidly expanded along with the development of semiconductor and microelectronic industries in recent years.
The atomic layer deposition technology adopts modes and mechanisms of orderly and alternately transporting reactant molecules, self-limiting surface growth, stepping surface covering and the like to control the gas-phase chemical reaction on the surface of an object, thereby realizing the accurate control of the growth rate of the film in nanometer/sub-nanometer scale. Currently, atomic layer deposition techniques are irreplaceable in applications requiring the preparation of a variety of thin film materials that are ultra-thin, highly uniform, and excellent in shape retention. As such, atomic layer deposition techniques have a wide range of applications. With incomplete statistics, the use of atomic layer deposition techniques has grown exponentially over the past decade, and this approach has now been widely used in semiconductor and related industries, such as: integrated circuits, sensors, III-V devices, micro/nano-electromechanical systems manufacturing, optical devices and optoelectronic engineering, anti-rust and wear resistant materials, and renewable energy applications (e.g. solar). Other large-scale applications include corrosion protection, energy storage and production (e.g., advanced thin film batteries and fuel cells), flexible electronic moisture or gas sealing coatings, biocompatible coatings for medical devices and implants, water purification, advanced lighting devices (e.g., LEDs), ecological packaging materials, decorative coatings, glass anti-splinters, water-resistant coatings, and the like.
From the material preparation point of view, in the nano coating technology represented by atomic layer deposition, the application objects are basically limited to streamline substrates (i.e. flat substrates), such as silicon wafers, quartz wafers, glass wafers and the like. The main reason is that the nano-coating technology is developed under the continuous development of the semiconductor and microelectronic industries, and the main carrier of the modern semiconductor and microelectronic industries is various flat substrates. From the viewpoint of process control related to the vapor-phase nano-coating technology, in the atomic layer deposition technology, the transport of reactant molecules, the surface and interface physicochemical reactions, and the discharge of reaction byproducts and impurities all occur in a flowing gas environment. The hydrodynamic environment of the gas in the reaction chamber then constitutes the global environment for the growth of the thin film on the surface of the substrate and plays a crucial role in the process control of the coating and the final quality of the film.
The hydrodynamic environment in the reaction chamber is actually the result of the interaction of the reaction chamber design, substrate shape and size, substrate surface state, coating parameter control (temperature, pressure, gas flow rate), and other factors. When the vapor phase nano coating technology is expanded to a three-dimensional bluff body (namely a non-flat substrate), the bluff body replaces the original flat streamlined body, so that the aerodynamic environment in the reaction cavity is fundamentally changed. One of the most important changes is that the aerodynamic boundary layer is separated from the surface of the three-dimensional bluff body. At this time, the transport of reactant molecules, physical and chemical mechanisms associated with surface film growth, control of film growth, and final coating quality are all severely affected. In fact, the surface self-limiting growth mechanism and the stepwise film coating method involved in the conventional atomic layer deposition technology are not unconditionally generated, but are strictly limited to the aerodynamic condition that the aerodynamic boundary layer is not separated from the surface of the plated substrate. In the conventional atomic layer deposition application of the flat substrate, the aerodynamic boundary layer can not be separated from the surface of the substrate, so that the role of the aerodynamic factors in the control of the atomic layer deposition process is neglected for a long time. When the atomic layer deposition technology is expanded to the surface of the three-dimensional blunt body, the parameter control (including temperature, vacuum degree, gas flow rate and the like) of the traditional atomic layer deposition can not ensure the self-limiting and step-by-step film growth of the surface of the whole blunt body, and the necessary correction is carried out on the deposition process on the basis of the consideration of the separation factor of the aerodynamic interface layer, so that the surface self-limiting growth mechanism and the step-by-step film coating mode can be realized on the surface of the three-dimensional blunt body. In addition, besides the influence caused by the boundary layer separation, the intervention of the three-dimensional macroscopic blunt body can also cause the influence of various other complex factors on the nano coating film under the gas phase condition. For example, turbulence of the gas in the reaction chamber. Once the turbulence is formed, the transport of the reaction material and the transport of the reaction by-products and impurities are affected to different degrees, thereby affecting the quality of the coating film. Therefore, besides the separation factor of the gas boundary layer, when the atomic layer deposition coating is carried out on the surface of the three-dimensional bluff body, the whole design of the reaction cavity is also involved so as to ensure the laminar flow condition in the whole cavity as far as possible and avoid the formation of turbulent flow.

The atomic layer deposition method for the surface of the three-dimensional bluff body is a method for ensuring the establishment of integral laminar flow conditions in a reaction cavity and inhibiting the separation of an aerodynamic boundary layer of the surface of the bluff body based on aerodynamic calculation, and can be applied and implemented through the design of the reaction cavity meeting related conditions.
The invention can maintain the integral laminar flow condition in the reaction cavity by controlling the quantitative parameters, the gas development distance, the Rayleigh number and other conditions related to the atomic layer deposition reaction cavity and controlling the adjustment of the quantitative Z, thereby ensuring the establishment of the integral laminar flow condition in the reaction zone, the rapid and effective transportation of reactant molecules and the rapid discharge of reaction byproducts during the deposition of the atomic scale film on the surface of the three-dimensional bluff body. On the other hand, the design also inhibits the gas backflow, thereby avoiding the backflow of redundant reactant molecules and reaction byproduct molecules and avoiding the pollution to the substrate surface, the cavity and the gas transportation system caused by the backflow.
The embodiments of the present invention are described below with reference to specific embodiments, and other advantages and effects of the present invention will be easily understood by those skilled in the art from the disclosure of the present specification. The invention is capable of other and different embodiments and of being practiced or of being carried out in various ways, and its several details are capable of modification in various respects, all without departing from the spirit and scope of the present invention.
It is to be understood that the processing equipment or apparatus not specifically identified in the following examples is conventional in the art.
Furthermore, it is to be understood that one or more method steps mentioned in the present invention does not exclude that other method steps may also be present before or after the combined steps or that other method steps may also be inserted between these explicitly mentioned steps, unless otherwise indicated; it is also to be understood that a combined connection between one or more devices/apparatus as referred to in the present application does not exclude that further devices/apparatus may be present before or after the combined device/apparatus or that further devices/apparatus may be interposed between two devices/apparatus explicitly referred to, unless otherwise indicated. Moreover, unless otherwise indicated, the numbering of the various method steps is merely a convenient tool for identifying the various method steps, and is not intended to limit the order in which the method steps are arranged or the scope of the invention in which the invention may be practiced, and changes or modifications in the relative relationship may be made without substantially changing the technical content.
Example 1
The reaction chamber used in this example was cylindrical (as shown in FIG. 1), the chamber size was 20cm diameter by 50cm long, the inlet was standard size, and nitrogen was chosen as the reactant carrier gas (nitrogen has a gas thermal diffusion constant of 0.185 cm)2Per second), the maximum allowable gas flow rate of the reaction zone is Qmax=226.6cm3In seconds. The size of the device to be processed in the reaction cavity is 3x3cm, the position is the positive center of the cavity, the control volume Z is regulated, and the result is shown in Table 1:
TABLE 1
Figure BDA0002494122780000091
Figure BDA0002494122780000101
As can be seen from table 1, by adjusting the controlled amount Z, the overall laminar flow condition in the reaction chamber can be maintained, specifically, the reynolds number of the gas in the reaction chamber can be maintained between 10 and 1600, so that the establishment of the overall laminar flow condition in the reaction region, the rapid and effective transport of the reactant molecules, and the rapid discharge of the reaction by-products during the deposition of the atomic scale thin film on the surface of the three-dimensional bluff body are ensured. On the other hand, the design also inhibits the gas backflow, thereby avoiding the backflow of redundant reactant molecules and reaction byproduct molecules and avoiding the pollution to the substrate surface, the cavity and the gas transportation system caused by the backflow.
Example 2
The deposition experiment was performed under the conditions of condition 3, comparative example 1, and comparative example 2. Plating TiO on the surface of the ring2By using H2O and TiCl4As a precursor source, the atomic layer deposition control cycle is: 0.005 second TiCl4 spray +10 second purge +0.003 second H2O spray +15 second purge. The carrier gas was 99.999% pure nitrogen. The coating temperature is 100 ℃. The gas flow rate was 200sccm and the chamber pressure was 1 torr. The number of atomic layer deposition cycles was 250. The specific results are shown in FIG. 2. As can be seen from fig. 2, when Z is beyond the predetermined range, the fluid environment in the ald chamber cannot be well controlled, especially the laminar flow condition, so that the reaction gas is separated from the surface of the object to be plated in the defluiding direction of the ring, and as a result, the ald cannot be uniformly plated in the defluiding direction (fig. 2b), even cannot be plated (fig. 2 c). After adjusting the amount to the range specified in this patent, it can be seen that atomic layer deposition can be achieved uniformly on all surfaces of the three-dimensional ring (fig. 2 d).
In conclusion, the present invention effectively overcomes various disadvantages of the prior art and has high industrial utilization value.
The foregoing embodiments are merely illustrative of the principles and utilities of the present invention and are not intended to limit the invention.
