本申请要求于2019年03月13日提交韩国工业产权局、申请号为10-2019-0028919的韩国专利申请的优先权和权益,其全部内容通过引用结合在本申请中。
技术领域
本文中描述的本发明构思的实施方式涉及一种用于处理基板的装置和方法。
背景技术
为了制造半导体设备,执行例如光刻工艺、蚀刻工艺、灰化工艺、离子注入工艺、薄膜沉积工艺等不同工艺以在基板上形成图案。在这些工艺中,蚀刻工艺,离子注入工艺和薄膜沉积工艺在真空气氛中在基板上执行。当基板从真空气氛移至大气气氛并暴露于氧气时,在基板上形成颗粒和烟雾。因此,在基板处理工艺之后,在将基板存储在缓冲单元中的情况下,执行清除颗粒和烟雾的工艺。
缓冲单元包括具有内部空间的壳体。壳体的内部空间被设置为接收多个基板的空间。图1为示出了常规缓冲单元的立体图。参照图1,通过用气体填充壳体4的内部空间6、排空内部空间6并调节内部空间6中的温度,来清除残留在基板上的颗粒和烟雾。壳体4具有在垂直方向上延伸的容器的形状,并且基板接收在内部空间6中以布置在垂直方向上。
由于在其中同时接收多个基板的缓冲单元2的结构,提高了基板处理量。但是,根据基板的放置位置,会发生气体流速偏差和温度偏差。因此,清除颗粒和烟雾的效率可根据基板的位置而变化。
另外,在仅壳体4的内部空间6的一部分填充有基板的状态下、清除颗粒和烟雾的情况下,在接收基板的区域和不接收基板的区域之间存在较大差异。
发明内容
本发明构思的实施方案提供一种装置,该装置用于处理接收在壳体中的多个基板,而不具有根据位置的偏差。

所述分隔单元可设置为使得所述多个接收空间在彼此上方堆叠。
所述分隔单元可包括:分隔板,其分隔所述内部空间;和第一温度调节构件,其调节所述分隔板的温度。

所述装置还可包括控制器,所述控制器控制所述排气单元,且所述控制器可不同地调节从所述多个接收空间排放的气体的量。
所述处理模块包括多个处理单元,所述多个处理单元执行N个不同的处理(N为大于1的整数),且可提供M个接收空间(M为大于或等于N的整数)。
根据一示例性实施方案,一种使用装置处理基板的方法包括:在所述处理模块中处理所述基板的处理步骤;和在所述处理步骤之后,在所述多个接收空间中后处理所述基板的后处理步骤,并且独立地且分别地排空所述多个接收空间。
在所述后处理步骤中,第一基板可接收在第一空间中,所述第一空间为所述多个接收空间之一;且第二基板可接收在第二空间中,所述第二空间为所述多个接收空间的另一个。在所述处理步骤中,所述第一基板和所述第二基板可经受不同的处理。从所述第一空间和所述第二空间排放的气体的量可彼此不同。

具体实施方式
可以对本发明构思的实施方案进行各种修改和变化,且本发明构思的范围不应解释为限制于本文中阐述的实施方案中。提供这些实施方案,将使得本公开彻底和完整,并将为本领域的技术人员充分地传达本发明构思的范围。因此,在附图中,为了清楚说明,夸大了部件的形状。
下文中,将描述根据本发明构思的实施方案的、使用等离子体蚀刻基板的基板处理装置。然而,并不限于此,本发明构思适于用于使用气体处理基板的各种类型的装置。
图2为示出了根据本发明构思的实施方案的基板处理设备的示意性平面图。
参照图2,基板处理设备1具有索引模块10、装载模块30和处理模块20,并且索引模块10具有装载端口120、传送框架140和缓冲单元2000。装载端口120、传送框架140、装载模块30和处理模块20依序布置成一排。以下,布置有装载端口120、传送框架140、装载模块30和处理模块20的方向被称为第一方向12,当从上方观察时,垂直于第一方向12的方向被称为第二方向14,并且,垂直于包括第一方向12和第二方向14的平面的方向被称为第三方向16。
装载端口120上放置有载体18,每个载体18具有接收在其中的多个基板W。装载端口120沿第二方向14布置成一排。图2示出了索引模块10具有三个装载端口120的一个实施例。然而,装载端口120的数量可以根据诸如处理模块20的工艺效率和占地面积来增加或减少。各载体18中形成有支承基板W的边缘的槽(未示出)。多个槽沿第三方向16布置,且基板W沿第三方向16在载体18中在其间具有间隔的间隙在彼此之上堆叠。前开式晶圆盒(frontopening unified pod,FOUP)可以用作为载体18。
传送框架140在放置在装载端口120上的载体18、缓冲单元2000以及装载模块30之间传送基板W。索引轨道142和索引机械手144设置在传送框架140中。索引轨道142布置成使得其纵向平方向行于第二方向14。索引机械手144安装在索引轨道142上,并沿着索引轨道142在第二方向14上线性移动。索引机械手144包括基部144a、主体144b和索引臂144c。基部144a安装成沿索引轨道142为可移动的。主体144b耦合至基部144a。主体144b在基部144a上沿第三方向16为可移动的。此外,主体144b在基部144a上为可旋转的。索引臂144c耦合至主体144b,且相对于主体144b为前后可移动的。索引臂144c可以单独驱动。索引臂144c沿第三方向16在其间具有间隔的间隙在彼此上方堆叠。一些索引臂144c可用于将基板W从处理模块20传送至载体18,且另一些索引臂144c可用于将基板W从载体18传送至处理模块20。因此,在索引机械手144在载体18和处理模块20之间传送基板W的过程中,可以防止从待处理的基板W产生的颗粒粘附至处理过的基板W。
缓冲单元2000临时存储在处理模块20中处理的基板W。缓冲单元2000清除残留在基板W上的处理副产物。缓冲单元2000中的处理副产物的清除可以通过升高或降低缓冲单元2000中的压力来执行。可以设置多个缓冲单元2000。例如,可以设置两个缓冲单元2000。该两个缓冲单元2000可以设置成位于传送框架140的相对侧上的侧存储器2000。该两个缓冲单元2000可以定位成彼此面对,在其间具有传送框架140。可替代地,在传送框架140的一侧上可仅设置一个缓冲单元2000。

装载锁定腔室32提供空间,待从索引模块10传送至处理模块20的基板W暂时停留在该空间中。当基板W放置在装载锁定腔室32中时,装载锁定腔室32的内部空间从索引模块10和处理模块20密封。此后,装载锁定腔室32的内部空间从大气气氛切换成真空气氛,并且装载锁定腔室32在从索引模块10密封的状态下,对处理模块20敞开。
卸载锁定室34提供空间,待从处理模块20传送至索引模块10的基板W暂时停留在该空间中。当基板W放置在卸载锁定腔室34中时,卸载锁定腔室34的内部空间从索引模块10和处理模块20密封。此后,卸载锁定腔室34的内部空间从真空气氛切换成大气气氛,并且卸载锁定腔室34在从处理模块20密封的状态下,对索引模块10敞开。
处理模块20包括传送腔室242和多个处理单元260。
传送腔室242在装载锁定腔室32、卸载锁定腔室34和多个处理单元260之间传送基板W。当从上方观察时,传送腔室242可具有六边形形状。可替代地,传送腔室242可具有矩形或五边形形状。装载锁定腔室32、卸载锁定腔室34和多个处理单元260位于传送腔室242周围。传送机械手250设置在传送腔室242中。传送机械手250可以位于传送腔室242的中心处。传送机械手250可具有多个手(hand)252,该多个手252在水平方向和垂直方向上为可移动的,并且在水平面上向前后为移动的或者可旋转的。手252可以为独立地驱动的,并且基板W可以在水平状态下坐落在手252上。

基板支承单元1200在处理空间1106中支承基板W。基板支承单元1200可以为使用静电力支承基板W的静电吸盘1200。可替代地,基板支承单元1200可以以例如机械夹持的各种方式来支承基板W。
静电吸盘1200包括介电板1210、基部1230和聚焦环1250。介电板1210可由介电物质制成。基板W直接放置在介电板1210的上表面上。介电板1210具有圆形板形状。介电板1210可以具有比基板W小的半径。用于夹持的电极1212安装在介电板1210中。电源(未示出)连接到用于夹持的电极1212。电力从电源(未示出)施加到电极1212,且基板W通过静电力夹持到介电板1210。用于加热基板W的加热器1214安装在介电板1210中。加热器1214可位于用于加持的电极1212的下方。加热器1214可以用螺旋形状的线圈来实现。
基部1230支承介电板1210。基部1230位于介电板1210下方,并与介电板1210固定地耦合。基部1230的上表面具有台阶形状,使得中心区域位于比边缘区域高的位置。基部1230上表面中心区域具有与介电板1210底表面中心区域相对应的区域。基部1230中形成有冷却流体通道1232。冷却流体通道1232用作冷却流体循环所通过的通路。冷却流体通道1232可在基部1230中以螺旋形状设置。基部1230与位于外部的RF电源1234连接。RF电源1234将电力施加至基部1230。施加至基部1230的电力将腔室1100中产生的等离子体引向基部1230。基部1230可由金属材料形成。

接下来,将更加详细地描述上述传送单元2000。图4为示出了图2的缓冲单元的立体图。图5为示出了图4的缓冲单元的平面图。图6为沿图4的线A-A获取的剖视图。参照图4至6,缓冲单元2000包括壳体2100、基板支承单元2300、气体供应单元2600、排气单元2800、分隔单元3000和控制器3200。
壳体2100具有内部具有缓冲空间的容器的形状。壳体2100具有沿第三方向16定向的纵向方向。缓冲空间2120被分隔单元3000分隔为彼此独立的多个接收空间2122。接收空间2122被设置为接收多个基板W的空间。壳体2100在其一侧具有敞开面2140。敞开面2140面向传送框架140。敞开面2140用作入口2140a,通过该入口2140a,基板W在传送框架140和缓冲空间2120之间传送。加热器(未示出)可以安装在壳体2100的侧壁中以加热缓冲空间2120。
基板支承单元2300在缓冲空间2120中支承基板W。基板支承单元2300支承多个基板W。多个基板W通过基板支承单元2300定位成在垂直方向上布置。基板支承单元2300包括多个支承槽2330。支承槽2330具有分别在其上安置基板W的安置表面。本文,安置表面可以是支承槽2330的上表面。支承槽2330从壳体2100的内表面突出。当从上方观看时,位于相同高度的两个支承槽2330彼此面对。此外,支承槽2330沿着第三方向16定位成彼此间隔开。支承槽2330可沿着第三方向16等距离彼此间隔开。因此,多个基板W可以以在彼此上方堆叠的状态支承在基板支承单元2300上。可替代地,当从上方观察时,可以设置三个以上的支承槽2330。
气体供应单元2600将净化气体供应缓冲空间2120中。残留在基板W上的污染物可以通过从气体供应单元2600供应的净化气体来净化。此外,可通过供应到缓冲空间2120中的净化气体使外部污染物向缓冲空间2120中的渗透最小化。气体供应单元2600包括第一供应单元2620、第二供应单元2640、气体供应管线2660和加热器2680。第一供应单元2620具有多个第一气体喷嘴2622,并且第二供应单元2640具有多个第二气体喷嘴2642。
当从上方观察时,第一供应单元2620位于比第二供应单元2640更靠近入口2140a。当从前面观察入口2140a时,第一气体喷嘴2622位于入口2140a的相对侧。位于该相对侧的第一气体喷嘴2622可以将净化气体朝向彼此分配。第一气体喷嘴2622可以在水平方向上分配净化气体。第一气体喷嘴2622可以在平行于入口2140a的方向上或相对于入口2140a以锐角的方向分配净化气体。因此,第一气体喷嘴2622可以中断外部污染物向缓冲空间2120中的渗透。此外,第一气体喷嘴2622布置成沿着垂直方向彼此间隔开。例如,在竖直方向上彼此邻近的两个第一气体喷嘴2622之间的间隔可以与在垂直方向上彼此邻近的两个支承槽2330之间的间隔相同。
第二气体喷嘴2642被定位成在垂直方向上彼此间隔开,且布置为与第一气体喷嘴2622具有相同的间隔。当从上方观察时,第二气体喷嘴2642朝向基板W分配净化气体。因此,可以净化和清洗残留在基板W上的污染物。根据实施方案,在垂直方向上布置的第二气体喷嘴2642可以被分成多个组,且第二气体喷嘴2642的多个组可以以各种角度朝向基板W供应净化气体。
气体供应管线2660将净化气体供应到第一供应单元2620和第二供应单元2640。气体供应管线2660可以供应净化气体,使得相同量的净化气体被供应到接收空间2122中。例如,净化气体可为惰性气体或空气。加热器2680安装在气体供应管线2660上。加热器2680将净化气体加热到高于室温的温度。
排气单元2800排空缓冲空间2120。排气单元2800将从基板W清除的颗粒和烟雾排放到缓冲空间2120的外部。排气单元2800包括气体排气管线2820,排气阀2840和减压构件2860。气体排气管线2820连接到各自的接收空间2122,并且排气阀2840安装在气体排气管线2820中以分别调节从接收空间2122排放的气体的量。减压构件2860降低气体排气管线2820中的压力以排空接收空间2122。例如,气体排气管线2820可以连接到与敞开面2140相对的面。
分隔单元3000将壳体2100的内部空间分隔成多个独立的接收空间2122。分隔单元3000被定位成使得多个接收空间2122被布置成在彼此上方堆叠。图7为示出了图4的基板支承单元和分隔单元的立体图,图8为示出图7的分隔板和加热构件的平面图。参照图7和图8,提供了多个分隔单元3000。多个分隔单元3000在垂直方向彼此间隔开。每个分隔单元3000包括分隔板3020和加热构件3040。当从上方观察时,分隔板3020由具有与壳体2100相同形状的板实现。分隔板3020可以设置成从壳体2100为可拆卸的。因此,分隔板3020的位置可以改变,且接收空间2122的体积可以变化。此外,接收空间2122的数量可以通过分隔板3020的数量来调节。例如,可以提供与处理单元260相同数量的分隔板3020或更多的分隔板3020。加热构件3040调节分隔板3020的温度。加热构件3040可以用安装在分隔板3020中的加热丝3040来实现。根据一实施方案,加热构件3040可以设置为用于将接收空间2122的温度调节至第一温度的第一温度调节构件,加热器2680可以设置为用于通过使用净化气体将接收空间2122的温度调节到第二温度的第二温度调节构件2680。第一温度和第二温度可以彼此相等。
控制器3200控制排气单元2800调节从接收空间2122排放的气体的量。控制器可以根据位于接收空间2122中的基板W不同地调节从接收空间2122排放的气体的量。根据一实施方式,多个接收空间2122中的一个可以设置为第一空间2122a,并且另一个接收空间可以设置为第二空间2122b。经受第一处理的第一基板W1可以放置在第一空间2122a中,经受第二处理的第二基板W2可以放置在第二空间2122b中。第一处理和第二处理可以彼此不同,且可以不同地调节从第一空间2122a排放的气体的量和从第二空间2122b排放的气体的量。即,可以根据放置在接收空间2122中的基板所经受的处理类型,来不同地调节排放的气体的量。另外,即使基板经受相同的处理,也可以根据所使用的气体种类来不同地调整排放的气体的量。
下文中,将描述使用上述基板处理装置处理基板W的工艺。处理基板W的方法包括处理步骤和后处理(post-processing)步骤。处理步骤为在处理模块20中使用气体处理基板W的步骤。这里,在处理模块20中处理基板W包括在单个处理单元260中处理基板W、或在多个处理单元260中处理基板W。经受处理步骤的基板W通过卸载锁定腔室34传送到缓冲单元2000中。处理模块20处于真空状态,而索引模块10具有大气压力状态。因此,大量的颗粒附着在从处理模块20传送到索引模块10的基板W上。
后处理步骤是清除残留在基板W上的污染物的步骤。在后处理步骤中,通过将净化气体供应至基板W并排放净化气体来处理基板W。参照图9,将经受第一处理的第一基板W1传送至接收空间2122之一的第一空间2122a,将经受第二处理的第二基板W2传送至接收空间2122的另一个的第二空间2122b。第一空间2122a和第二空间2122b通过分隔单元3000和气体供应单元2600而被加热。例如,第一空间2122a和第二空间2122b可被加热到相同的温度。可替代地,从第一空间2122a和第二空间2122b排放的气体量可以彼此不同。例如,第一空间2122a中的压力可以高于传送框架140中的压力,第二空间2122b中的压力可以低于传送框架140中的压力。
在上述实施方案中,已经描述了将经受不同处理的基板W被传送到第一空间2122a和第二空间2122b。然而,如图10所示,经受相同处理的基板W1可以被传送到第一空间2122a和第二空间2122b中。在这种情况下,从第一空间2122a和第二空间2122b排放的气体的量可以彼此相同。第一空间2122a和第二空间2122b可以彼此相邻。第一空间2122a和第二空间2122b可以通过分隔板3020彼此分隔开。第一空间2122a可以是上部空间,第二空间2122b可以是下部空间。第一空间2122a和第二空间2122b可以通过分隔板3020加热。因此,可以减小第一空间2122a的上侧和第二空间2122b的下侧之间的温度差。
根据本发明构思的实施方式,壳体的内部空间通过分隔板分隔成接收空间。因此,可以均匀地处理多个基板。
此外,根据本发明构思的实施方案,多个接收空间被分别排空,并且经受不同处理的基板接收在多个接收空间中。因此,根据后处理工艺,可以通过改变从接收空间排放的气体的量来处理基板。
此外,根据本发明构思的实施方案,接收空间的温度通过分隔板和气体来调节。因此,接收空间的温度可以均匀地调节。
上面的描述示例性说明了本发明构思。此外,上述的内容描述了本发明构思的示例性实施方案,且本发明构思可以用于各种其它组合、改变和环境中。也就是说,在不脱离说明书中公开的本发明构思的范围、与书面公开等同的范围、和/或本领域技术人员的技术或知识范围的情况下,可以对本发明构思做出改变或修改。书面实施方案描述了用于实现本发明构思的技术精神的最佳状态,且可以做出本发明构思的特定应用和目的所需的各种改变。因此,本发明构思的详细描述并非旨在将本发明构思限制在所公开的实施方案状态中。另外,应当理解的是,所附权利要求包括其他的实施方案。
虽然已经参照示例性实施方案描述了本发明构思,但对于本领域的技术人员来说将显而易见的是,在不脱离本发明构思的精神和范围的情况下,可以进行各种改变和修改。因此,应当理解的是,上述实施方案并非限制性的,而是说明性的。
