Description

Vacuum heating device and reflector device
Technical Field
The present invention relates to a technique for heating an object to be heated by infrared rays in a vacuum environment, and more particularly to a reflector device for reflecting infrared rays and a vacuum heating apparatus having the reflector device.
Background
Vacuum processing is widely performed in which a semiconductor substrate, a glass substrate, or the like is used as a processing object, a thin film is formed on a surface of the processing object in a vacuum atmosphere, or the formed thin film is etched in a vacuum atmosphere, and immediately before the vacuum processing, a heat pretreatment step is provided in which the processing object is heated to a predetermined temperature to improve the reactivity of the vacuum processing.
Further, if the object to be processed is heated in the vacuum environment, organic substances and moisture adhering to the object to be processed are evaporated in the vacuum environment, and the object to be processed is cleaned.
Since the temperature controllability is good, heating of the processing object is often performed by infrared irradiation, and a reflector is disposed between the wall surface of the vacuum chamber and the infrared irradiation device so as not to increase the temperature of the vacuum chamber in order to block infrared irradiation to the vacuum chamber.
However, in order to reduce the manufacturing cost, the size of the object to be processed is increased, and the size of the vacuum tank is increased, but if the size of the reflector is increased, the linear expansion amount from the hot zone is increased, and the defects such as deformation or poor installation of the reflector or the reflector installation part are increased.
In recent years, there has been an attempt to develop a reflector apparatus in which a plurality of unit reflecting plates are arranged in a row and constitute one reflector, but if the unit reflecting plates are fixed at only one location and are configured so as to be thermally expandable without being deformed, the amount of sagging in the vicinity of the edges of the unit reflecting plates becomes large, and heat leakage occurs between the unit reflecting plates.
Further, if the vicinities of the edges of the unit reflection plates are overlapped in order to prevent heat leakage, the vicinities of the edges sagging upon thermal expansion slide each other, and dust is generated in a large amount.

Detailed Description
< vacuum heating apparatus >
Reference numeral 2 in fig. 1 denotes a vacuum heating apparatus according to an example of the present invention, and includes a vacuum tank 17.
A heat source 88 is disposed inside the vacuum chamber 17, and the vacuum chamber 17 has a plurality of inner wall surfaces. A reflector device 110 is provided between the mounting surface 19, which is one of the inner wall surfaces, and the heating source 88. A substrate placement device 85 is provided between the other inner wall surface 18 facing the mounting surface 19 and the heat source 88. Here, the mounting surface 19 of the inner wall surface of the vacuum chamber 17 is a ceiling surface, and the inner wall surface 18 facing the mounting surface 19 in parallel is a bottom surface.
A vacuum exhaust device 78 is connected to the vacuum chamber 17, and if the vacuum exhaust device 78 is operated, the inside of the vacuum chamber 17 is evacuated to form a vacuum atmosphere.
The substrate placement device 85 is provided with pins 86, and a substrate 87 as a heating target is carried into the vacuum chamber 17 and placed on the pins 86 in a state where the pins 86 are raised above the surface of the substrate placement device 85. Fig. 1 shows this state.
Next, the pins 86 are lowered, the substrate 87 is horizontally arranged on the substrate arranging apparatus 85, and then the heat source 88 is energized to raise the temperature of the heat source 88 and emit infrared rays.
Of the infrared rays emitted from the heat source 88, the infrared rays emitted toward the substrate placement device 85 are irradiated onto the substrate 87, and the substrate 87 is heated.
Of the infrared rays emitted from the heat source 88, infrared rays emitted toward the mounting surface 19 located on the opposite side of the substrate 87 are irradiated to the reflector device 110 located between the heat source 88 and the mounting surface 19.
Therefore, the reflector device 110 shields infrared rays from the mounting surface 19, and prevents the vacuum chamber 17 from being heated.
The infrared rays irradiated to the reflector device 110 are reflected in a direction in which the heat source 88 is located, and are irradiated to the substrate 87.
When the substrate 87 is heated and the temperature thereof is raised to a predetermined temperature while being placed in a vacuum environment formed by evacuating the inside of the vacuum chamber 17, the energization of the heat source 88 is stopped, and the substrate 87 is transported from the inside of the vacuum heating apparatus 2 to the vacuum processing apparatus connected to the vacuum heating apparatus 2.
< Reflector apparatus >
The construction of the reflector device 110 is explained. As shown in FIG. 2, the reflector device 110 has a plurality of unit reflection devices 111 to 113, 121 to 123, 131 to 133. Each of the unit reflectors 111 to 113, 121 to 123, 131 to 133 has a rectangular unit reflector 31, and the unit reflectors 31 of each of the unit reflectors 111 to 113, 121 to 123, 131 to 133 are arranged in 3 × 3 rows and columns of 3 in the horizontal direction and 3 in the vertical direction. The unit reflection plates 31 are horizontally arranged.
In each unit reflection plate 31, one fixing device 21 and one to a plurality (here, 4) of holding devices 11a to 11d are respectively mounted on the same surface.
The structures of the unit reflectors 111 to 113, 121 to 123, and 131 to 133 are the same, and fig. 3 (a) and 3 (b) show the structure of one unit reflector 122 of the unit reflectors 111 to 113, 121 to 123, and 131 to 133.
The unit reflection devices 111 to 113, 121 to 123, and 131 to 133 are attached to the attachment surface 19 of the inner wall surfaces of the vacuum chamber 17 by the fixing device 21 and the holding devices 11a to 11d, respectively, as will be described later.
Fig. 3 (a) shows a state where the unit reflection plate 31 is separated from the mounting surface 19, and fig. 3 (b) shows a state where the unit reflection plate 31 is mounted on the mounting surface 19.
The fixture 21 has a cylindrical shaped body 52 provided with an insertion hole 53 at the center.
A first plate-side fixing hole 47 as a through hole is formed in the center of the unit reflection plate 31, and the fixing device 21 is fixed to the unit reflection plate 31 so that the insertion hole 53 communicates with the first plate-side fixing hole 47. Here, the fixing device 21 is fixed by welding to the unit reflection plate 31 in a state where the insertion hole 53 and the first plate-side fixing hole 47 are communicated.
Each of the holding devices 11a to 11d is positioned between the unit reflection plate 31 and the mounting surface 19, and includes a plate-side connecting portion 62 that contacts the unit reflection plate 31, a groove-side connecting portion 63 that contacts the mounting surface 19, and a deformation portion 64 having one end fixed to the plate-side connecting portion 62 and the other end fixed to the groove-side connecting portion 63.
Fig. 4 (a) is a plan view of the holding devices 11a to 11d, fig. 4 (b) is a left side view, fig. 4 (c) is a front view, fig. 4 (d) is a rear view, and fig. 4 (e) is a cross-sectional view of the holding devices 11a to 11d cut by a plane passing through the plate-side connecting portion 62, the deformed portion 64, and the groove-side connecting portion 63.
In the description of the connection of the mounting surface 19 to the groove-side connecting portion 63 and the fixing device 21, the groove-side connecting portion 63 is provided with the first holding-side fixing hole 60, and the unit reflection plate 31 is provided with the clearance holes 46a to 46d at the portion facing the first holding-side fixing hole 60 (in fig. 3 (a) and 3 (b), the clearance holes defined by the reference numerals 46c and 46d, the holding devices defined by the reference numerals 11c and 11d, the first screw stoppers defined by the reference numerals 26c and 26d described below, and the second groove-side fixing hole defined by the reference numerals 58c and 58d described below are not shown).
The mounting surface 19 is provided with first groove-side fixing holes 57 at positions facing the insertion holes 53, and second groove-side fixing holes 58a to 58d at positions facing the first holding-side fixing holes 60.
The plate-side connecting portion 62 is welded and fixed to the unit reflection plate 31, and in a state where the first groove-side fixing hole 57 and the insertion hole 53 are communicated and the second groove-side fixing holes 58a to 58d and the first holding-side fixing holes 60 of the holding devices 11a to 11d are communicated, the end of the fixing device 21 facing the mounting surface 19 side and the groove-side connecting portion 63 of the holding devices 11a to 11d are brought into contact with the mounting surface 19, the body portion 66 of the fixing screw stopper 27 is inserted into the first plate-side fixing hole 47 and the insertion hole 53, the fixing screw stopper 27 is rotated, the screw portion provided on the inner peripheral surface of the first groove-side fixing hole 57 and the screw portion provided on the outer peripheral surface of the portion of the front end of the body portion 66 are screwed, and the front end of the body portion 66 is caused to travel toward the bottom surface of the first groove-side fixing hole 57 by the rotation.
The head portion 67 of each fixing screw stopper 27 extending from the body portion 66 is formed larger than the first plate-side fixing hole 47, and the seat surface of the head portion 67 contacts the unit reflection plate 31 by the travel of the fixing screw stopper 27, and the head portion 67 presses the unit reflection plate 31 and the fixing device 21 toward the mounting surface 19 by the rotation of the fixing screw stopper 27.
On the other hand, the body portion 37 of the first screw stopper 26a to 26d is inserted through the free holes 46a to 46d from the distal end portion 38 provided at the distal end of the body portion 37, and the distal end portion 38 is inserted through the first holding-side fixing hole 60 and the second groove-side fixing holes 58a to 58d of the holding devices 11a to 11d, respectively. Reference numeral 39 denotes a head portion, which is in non-contact with the unit reflection plate 31.
The clearance holes 46a to 46d are formed larger than the body portion 37 of the first screw stoppers 26a to 26d, and are configured so that the edges of the clearance holes 46a to 46d are separated from the outer peripheral side surface of the body portion 37 inserted through the clearance holes 46a to 46d by a predetermined distance at normal temperature (here, the temperature range of 20 ℃ ± 15 ℃ is set to be normal temperature) or room temperature (here, 300K), and are configured so as to be separated even when the reflector device 110 is at a temperature lower than a predetermined upper limit temperature. The upper limit temperature is, for example, 600 ℃.
Threads are formed on the inner peripheral surfaces of the second groove-side fixing holes 58a to 58d and the outer peripheral surface of the tip end portion 38, respectively, and the tip end portion 38 is inserted into the first holding-side fixing hole 60 and the second groove-side fixing holes 58a to 58d, and if the first screw stoppers 26a to 26d are rotated, the tip end portion 38 advances toward the bottom surfaces of the second groove-side fixing holes 58a to 58d while the tip end portion 38 and the second groove-side fixing holes 58a to 58d are screwed together.
Here, the diameter of the body portion 37 is formed larger than the diameter of the first holding-side fixing hole 60 and the diameter of the distal end portion 38, the distal end portion 38 travels toward the bottom surface of the second slot-side fixing holes 58a to 58d, and the end portion of the body portion 37 on the distal end portion 38 side is brought into contact with the slot-side connecting portion 63, and if the distal end portion 38 travels further, the slot-side connecting portion 63 is pressed against the attachment surface 19 of the vacuum slot 17 by the end portion of the body portion 37.
Therefore, the unit reflection plate 31 is fixed to the mounting surface 19 at the portion where the fixing device 21 is provided by the fixing screw stopper 27, and the portions where the holding devices 11a to 11d are provided are fixed to the mounting surface 19 by the first screw stoppers 26a to 26 d. As a result, the relative position between the position where the fixing device 21 is fixed to the mounting surface 19 and the position where the fixing device 21 is fixed to the unit reflection plate 31 is fixed by the fixing device 21.
< heating step >
The inside of the vacuum chamber 17 is evacuated by the evacuation device 78 to be a vacuum atmosphere, and after the substrate 87 is placed on the substrate placement device 85 while evacuating, if the heat source 88 is energized to generate heat and infrared rays are radiated, the radiated infrared rays are irradiated to the substrate 87 and the unit reflecting plate 31 of the reflector device 110, and the substrate 87 and the unit reflecting plate 31 are heated.
The fixing device 21 is located at the center of each unit reflecting plate 31, and the holding devices 11a to 11d fixed to one unit reflecting plate 31 are arranged on the circumference centering on the fixing device 21 fixed to the same unit reflecting plate 31.
The deformable portion 64 of each of the holding devices 11a to 11d has a flat plate shape, and the surface of each deformable portion 64 having a large area faces the fixing device 21.
Since infrared rays are irradiated to the unit reflecting plate 31 and the irradiation of infrared rays is shielded on the mounting surface 19 of the vacuum chamber 17, the temperature rise of the inner wall surface of the vacuum chamber 17 is small even if infrared rays are irradiated, but the temperature of the unit reflecting plate 31 rises more than the temperature of the mounting surface 19 of the vacuum chamber 17.
Therefore, the mounting surface 19 of the vacuum chamber 17 is not thermally stretched (also referred to as expansion), whereas the unit reflection plate 31 is thermally stretched. In this case, since the portion to which the fixing device 21 is attached is fixed to the mounting surface 19, the unit reflection plate 31 is thermally extended in the radial direction around the portion to which the fixing device 21 is fixed.
The groove-side connecting portions 63 of the holding devices 11a to 11d are not moved because they are fixed to the mounting surface 19 by the first screw stoppers 26a to 26d, but the plate-side connecting portions 62 move in accordance with thermal expansion of the unit reflection plates 31. Therefore, a force in the radial direction is applied to the deformable portion 64 from the plate-side connecting portion 62.
The holding devices 11a to 11d (and the holding devices 12, 13a, 13b, 14a to 14c, 15a to 15d, and 16a to 16d described later) are arranged such that the force applied to the deformable portion 64 is in a direction perpendicular to the plane having a large area of the rectangular deformable portion 64, and the plate-side connecting portion 62 moves relative to the groove-side connecting portion 63 in one of the holding devices 11a to 11d (and the holding devices 12, 13a, 13b, 14a to 14c, 15a to 15d, and 16a to 16d described later) in accordance with the deformation of the deformable portion 64.
At this time, since the gaps are formed between the edges of the clearance holes 46a to 46d and the outer peripheral side surface of the body portion 37 of the first screw stoppers 26a to 26d, and the state of non-contact is maintained, the edges of the clearance holes 46a to 46d and the outer peripheral side surface of the body portion 37 do not contact each other as long as the temperature of the unit reflection plate 31 is equal to or lower than the predetermined temperature when the unit reflection plate 31 is heated and thermally elongated in accordance with the deformation of the deformation portion 64.
Therefore, the relative positional relationship between the position where the holding devices 11a to 11d are fixed to the mounting surface 19 and the position where the holding devices 11a to 11d are fixed to the unit reflecting plate 31 is changed by the deformation of the deforming portion 64 due to the thermal expansion of the unit reflecting plate 31, and as a result, the fixing device 21 moves in the radial direction centering on the portion fixed to the unit reflecting plate 31.
As described above, in one of the holding devices 11a to 11d, the plate-side connecting portion 62 fixed to the unit reflection plate 31 moves relative to the groove-side connecting portion 63 fixed to the attachment surface 19 in accordance with the deformation of the deformation portion 64, and the force applied to the plate-side connecting portion 62 and the groove-side connecting portion 63 is relaxed, so that the holding devices 11a to 11d are not broken.
When the temperature of the heated unit reflecting plate 31 decreases, the unit reflecting plate 31 thermally expanded contracts, the deformation portion 64 is deformed to return to the original shape, and in one unit reflecting plate 31 of each of the holding devices 11a to 11d, the plate-side connecting portion 62 moves in the center direction of the unit reflecting plate 31 with respect to the groove-side connecting portion 63, and the relative positional relationship between the plate-side connecting portion 62 and the groove-side connecting portion 63 returns to the state before heating.
The side surface of the adjacent unit reflection plate 31 and the side surface of the unit reflection plate 31 may be separated from each other at normal temperature and may be configured to approach each other by thermal expansion.
When the substrate 87 is heated to a predetermined temperature, the substrate 87 is moved from the vacuum chamber 17 to a processing chamber of another vacuum processing apparatus.
