Description
Technical Field

The semiconductor equipment has a complex internal environment, in order to improve the efficiency of substrate processing, at least two reaction cavities can be arranged on one piece of processing equipment, each reaction cavity at least comprises a reaction cavity 70 enclosed by the outer wall 71 of the reaction cavity, and a base 30 for supporting the substrate is arranged in the reaction cavity and has a temperature regulation function; a gas inlet element 20 for controlling the reaction gas to enter the reaction chamber, an external radio frequency source 50 for providing energy for dissociating the reaction gas into plasma; and an exhaust device 40 for exhausting the reaction by-products out of the reaction chamber while maintaining the pressure in the reaction chamber. All of which can affect the uniformity of the semiconductor substrate processing results. The temperature adjusting function of the control base, the uniform air intake of the air intake element and the uniform electric field distribution of the external radio frequency source in the reaction cavity can effectively adjust the etching uniformity of the semiconductor substrate, however, the exhaust uniformity of the exhaust device can also have obvious influence on the etching uniformity result of the semiconductor substrate but is often ignored by people.
As shown in fig. 1, in the conventional semiconductor apparatus, in order to maintain the pressure in the reaction chamber to be uniform, a plasma confinement device 10 is generally disposed at a downstream position of the reaction chamber, and the plasma confinement device can allow reaction by-products of the gases to be discharged from the reaction chamber while confining the plasma in the reaction chamber to a plasma working region. Gas confinements are typically disposed about the susceptor and include a body and a plurality of holes or slot passages extending through the body to allow for the venting of gaseous byproducts. An exhaust 40 is located below the adjacent region of the plasma confinement device 10 in the two reaction chambers, the region between the plasma confinement device 10 and the exhaust 40 being the exhaust region, the exhaust region surrounding the susceptor at the center of the reaction chamber. In order to ensure the simultaneous operation of the treatment processes in the different reaction chambers, the exhaust regions of the reaction chambers are often arranged in fluid communication and are in fluid communication with the common exhaust 40. Therefore, the exhaust device can only be disposed below the adjacent side walls of the two reaction chambers, and the communication between the reaction chambers and the exhaust device 40 is realized through an opening 45, which inevitably causes different lengths of paths from the plasma confinement devices 10 to the exhaust device 40 at different positions, and causes different pressures below different plasma confinement devices 10, thereby affecting the uniformity of gas distribution on the surface of the semiconductor substrate and reducing the qualification rate of the semiconductor substrate.

Detailed Description
The present invention will now be further described by way of the following detailed description of a preferred embodiment thereof, taken in conjunction with the accompanying drawings.
Fig. 2 is a cross-sectional view of a plasma processing apparatus having dual reaction chambers according to an embodiment of the present invention, and in another embodiment, the number of the reaction chambers of the plasma processing apparatus may be more than two, and the operation principle and the exhaust structure thereof are similar to the dual reaction chamber structure.
In the plasma reactor 100 shown in fig. 2, two reaction chambers are adjacently arranged, the two reaction chambers are respectively surrounded by the reaction chamber walls 101 and 101 ', and are provided with an adjacent side wall 105, during the plasma process, the plasma reactor 100 is usually set to be a vacuum environment, when the process starts, a gas injection device injects the reaction gas in the reaction gas source 160 into the reactor 100, the gas injection device can have various forms, and can be set to be a flat plate type gas shower head or other structures according to different processes and specific structures of the reaction chambers, in this embodiment, the gas injection device is set to be a flat plate type gas shower head 120 and 120 ', the gas shower heads 120 and 120 ' can uniformly inject the reaction gas into the reactor, the material of the gas shower head is selected to be a material suitable for being an electrode, and the gas shower head can be connected to a radio frequency power source or grounded, as part of a parallel plate capacitor to generate a plasma. A susceptor 130 and 130 ' for supporting the semiconductor substrate 135 is disposed below the gas showerheads 120 and 120 ', respectively, and an electrostatic chuck 133 and 133 ' is disposed above the susceptor 130 and 130 ', respectively, to fix the semiconductor substrate 135 during the process by an electrostatic attraction force generated by the electrostatic chucks 133 and 133 '. The generally cylindrical shape of the susceptors 130 and 130' is located at the center of the bottom of the reaction chamber to provide a more symmetrical process environment, which is beneficial to the smooth process of the reaction. The rf power source systems 150 and 150 ' act on the susceptors 130 and 130 ', and between the showerhead 120 and the susceptors 130, the showerhead 120 ' and the susceptors 130 ' generate electric fields, dissociate the reaction gases injected from the showerhead 120 and the showerhead 120 ' into plasma, and sustain the plasma to act on the semiconductor substrate. A confinement ring 110 is disposed around the base 130 and a confinement ring 110 'is disposed around the base 130'. The regions above the level of the confinement rings 110 and 110 'are plasma processing regions 102 and 102', and the regions below the confinement rings 110 and 110 'are exhaust regions 103 and 103'. The exhaust regions of the plurality of plasma processing chambers are at least partially adjacent to each other and in fluid communication with each other to form an adjacent plenum, and an opening 145 is provided below the adjacent sidewalls 105 of two chambers to allow communication between the two chamber exhaust regions 103 and 103'; the opening 145 simultaneously penetrates through the bottoms of the adjacent areas of the two reaction chambers, and an exhaust pump 140 is arranged below the adjacent ventilation areas, so that the two reaction chambers share one exhaust pump, and the exhaust pump is used for exhausting gas byproducts generated by the reaction process out of the reaction chambers.
Since the two reaction chambers have substantially the same structure, the structure of one reaction chamber will be selected for the purpose of description. The confinement ring 110 disposed around the susceptor 130 includes a substantially annular flow guide body 111 and a plurality of gas passages 112 disposed in the flow guide body 111 to facilitate passage of spent reactant and byproduct gases including charged and neutral particles in the processing region 102 into the exhaust region 103, the gas passages 112 being sized to neutralize the charged particles in the plasma while allowing the neutral particles to pass therethrough when the charged particles pass through the gas passages 112. The exhaust regions 103 and 103 ' are annular regions surrounding the susceptor 130 and the susceptor 130 ', since two reaction chambers share one exhaust pump 140, and in order to ensure the symmetry of the exhaust rates of the two reaction chambers, the exhaust pump 140 is disposed below the adjacent side walls 105 of the two reaction chambers, which necessarily causes the paths of the gases at different positions of the exhaust regions 103 and 103 ' of the two reaction chambers to the opening 145 to be different, so that the exhaust region gases near the opening 145 are exhausted from the reaction chambers through the exhaust pump along the route a at a higher exhaust rate, where the region has a lower gas pressure, and the reaction gases and byproduct gases used above the corresponding confinement rings 110 and 110 ' are exhausted from the reaction chambers through the exhaust channels 103 and 103 ' along the route B through the exhaust pump 140 at a lower exhaust rate, where the region has a higher gas pressure, the spent reactant and byproduct gases above the confinement rings 110 and 110 'corresponding to this region may slowly pass through the gas passages into the exhaust region, resulting in non-uniform gas distribution within the processing region 102 and 102' above the confinement rings, and thus non-uniform processing of the semiconductor substrate in different regions.
Fig. 3 is a plan view of a plasma processing apparatus having two reaction chambers according to the present invention, in which two adjacent reaction chambers are arranged in parallel, adjacent venting regions of the two reaction chambers are shown within a circular dotted line, and the exhaust pump is disposed below the adjacent venting regions, wherein each confinement ring 110 includes a first region 1101 and 1101 'above the adjacent venting regions and a second region 1102 and 1102' above a region other than the adjacent venting regions.
FIG. 4 is a bottom view of the rotating ring in accordance with one embodiment of the present invention; fig. 5 and 6 are schematic views of the rotating ring of fig. 4 positioned below the confinement rings of the plasma processing apparatus. Referring to fig. 5 and 6 in conjunction with fig. 2, a rotating ring 20 and a rotating ring 20 'are provided below the confinement rings 110 and 110', respectively. Fig. 5 and 6 illustrate an example in which a rotating ring is provided below the confinement ring 110 in the left reaction chamber of the dual reaction chamber plasma processing apparatus of fig. 2. The rotating ring is provided with a plurality of blocking areas, the blocking areas correspond to part of the gas passages of the limiting ring, and the corresponding positions of the blocking areas and the gas passages are adjusted along with the rotation of the rotating ring.
As shown in fig. 4, in the specific embodiment, the rotating ring 20 includes an inner edge 201, an outer edge 202, and a blocking region 203 and a gas permeable region 204 disposed between the inner edge 201 and the outer edge 202, the inner edge 201 and the outer edge 202 forming a hollow annular structure, the inner edge 201 corresponding to an inner circle below the confinement ring 110, the outer edge 202 corresponding to an outer circle below the confinement ring 110, and a blocking piece disposed between the inner edge and the outer edge, the blocking piece being the blocking region. It should be noted that the blocking area may be 1/8, 1/6, 1/4, etc. in proportion to the entire rotating ring 20, and the specific proportion may be according to actual working requirements. In this embodiment, the blocking area accounts for 3/4 in the ratio of the entire rotating ring 20. In addition, in the embodiment, the gas passage of the confinement ring can be a plurality of gas exhaust holes, when the rotating ring is in a static state, the blocking area 203 of the rotating ring is positioned below the first area of the confinement ring, and the gas permeable area of the rotating ring is positioned below the second area of the confinement ring; when the rotating ring is in the rotating motion, during one rotation of the rotating ring 20, as shown in fig. 5, when the blocking area 202 is located below the gas passage in the first area of the confinement ring 110, i.e. above the exhaust pump 140, the blocking area 202 reduces the gas flow rate in the first area, while the gas flow rate in the second area is unchanged, which makes the gas flow distribution above the susceptor 130 uniform and even reverses the distribution; as shown in fig. 6, when the blocking area 203 is located below the second region of the confinement rings 110, the gas flow rate is further slowed down because the blocking area 203 is located below the second region where the gas flow rate is slower, and the gas flow distribution over the susceptor 130 is more uneven. Therefore, the uniformity of the gas exhaust can be adjusted by adjusting the residence time of the blocking area 203 in each of the different gas exhaust areas, and further, the residence time of the blocking area 203 of the rotating ring 20 under the gas passage in the first area of the confinement ring 110 is longer than the residence time under the gas passage in the second area of the confinement ring 110.
It should be noted that the rotating ring 20 may rotate at different angular velocities below the confinement rings 110 at non-uniform speeds, wherein the rotating ring 20 rotates at a lower speed in adjacent aeration areas than in non-adjacent aeration areas, such that the opening ratio of the gas passages corresponding to the confinement rings above the adjacent aeration areas is lower than the opening ratio of the gas passages corresponding to the confinement rings above the non-adjacent aeration areas.
Referring to fig. 7, in other embodiments, the rotating ring is further provided with a plurality of gas permeable regions 203 and blocking regions 204, wherein a blocking region 204 is formed between two adjacent gas permeable regions 203, specifically, the rotating ring comprises an inner edge 201 and an outer edge 202, a plurality of blocking blocks are arranged between the inner edge 201 and the outer edge 202 at intervals, the blocking blocks are blocking regions, the regions between the blocking blocks are gas permeable regions, the area of each blocking region 203 can be the same or different, the larger the area of the blocking region, the larger the gas passage covering surface area of the blocking ring, the more obvious the gas passage venting effect of the blocking ring is, and preferably, the surface area of the blocking region below the first region of the limiting ring is larger than the surface area of the blocking region below the second region of the limiting ring.
Furthermore, the blocking areas of the rotating ring can be arranged at intervals and have different areas, on one hand, when the rotating ring is in a static state below the limiting ring, the area of the blocking area below the first area of the limiting ring is larger than that of the blocking area below the second area of the limiting ring; on the other hand, when the rotating ring of the structure can rotate at a non-uniform speed below the limit ring, the specific rotating speed and the residence time thereof can be referred to the above embodiments, and detailed description is omitted. The area of the blocking area is set to be different in size and matched with the rotation angular velocity, so that the opening rate of the gas channel of the limiting ring can be controlled more accurately, and the requirement on the uniformity of exhaust is met.
It should be noted that, in the actual process, there are many steps, and different gas parameters need to be set in each step, the gas flow field in the reaction chamber is often affected by the gas pressure, the gas flow rate and the gas viscosity coefficient, and the gas flow field can also be changed by the gas with different formulations, so that an appropriate angular velocity of the rotating ring needs to be selected according to the current gas flow field distribution to obtain the aperture opening ratios of the confinement ring in different states, thereby satisfying the uniform exhaust requirements of all process.
In summary, the dual-station processor for realizing uniform exhaust and the exhaust method thereof of the present invention change the air flow distribution in the exhaust area by partial blocking of the rotating ring by arranging the rotating ring below the limiting ring, and realize the symmetry of the gas flow field by adopting the asymmetric rotating speed.
While the present invention has been described in detail with reference to the preferred embodiments, it should be understood that the above description should not be taken as limiting the invention. Various modifications and alterations to this invention will become apparent to those skilled in the art upon reading the foregoing description. Accordingly, the scope of the invention should be determined from the following claims.
