Description

Background
In the prior art, when a thin film deposition process is performed, only a single surface of a wafer (usually, the front surface of the wafer, i.e. the surface facing the direction of gas inflow) can be coated, but in some processes, deposition coating operations need to be performed on both surfaces of the wafer, which is difficult to meet the process requirement by adopting the existing deposition equipment. The reason is that in the existing film plating equipment, the back surface of the wafer is completely contacted with the surface of the heater, and the front surface of the wafer is exposed in the process cavity, so that film plating operation can only be performed on the front surface of the wafer. If the back surface of the wafer needs to be coated and the front surface does not need to be coated, the front surface of the wafer needs to be shielded, and the wafer is turned over by a moving device such as a mechanical arm outside the equipment, so that the back surface of the wafer faces the opposite surface into which the gas flows to finish the coating operation. This approach is not only prone to wafer damage and contamination, but is inefficient, resulting in reduced device yields.

In order to make the illustration as concise as possible, not all structures are labeled in the drawings.
When the existing thin film deposition equipment needs to rotate or even turn over a wafer, the operation is usually needed by means of a mechanical arm positioned outside the cavity, so that the operation is complicated, the yield of the equipment is reduced, and the mechanical arm is easy to collide with parts inside the cavity, so that the wafer is easy to damage. In addition, the contact area between the mechanical arm and the wafer is large, so that the coating position is shielded, and the coating yield is affected. In this regard, the inventors of the present application have made long-term studies to propose an improvement.
Specifically, as shown in fig. 1 and 2, the present invention provides a thin film deposition apparatus comprising: a base 11, a clamping module and a rotating module; the susceptor 11 is used for carrying a substrate 12, such as a wafer, which may be held on the basis of vacuum suction principles, and heating and/or cooling means may be provided within the susceptor 11, so that the susceptor 11 may also be referred to as a heater in some examples; the clamping module comprises more than two clamps 131 and a first driving unit, wherein the clamps 131 are matched with the edge shape of the substrate 12 and are suitable for clamping the substrate 12 from the edge of the substrate 12, the first driving unit comprises a push rod 132 and an air cylinder 133, the push rod 132 is connected with the clamps 131 and the air cylinder 133, the push rod 132 drives the clamps 131 to move under the driving of the air cylinder 133, and the more than two clamps 131 move from different directions to the substrate 12 so as to clamp or release the substrate 12 from different sides of the substrate 12; the rotation module includes a first gear 141, a second gear 142, and a second driving unit 143, the first gear 141 being connected with the push rod 132, the second gear 142 being engaged with the first gear 141, the second driving unit 143 being connected with the second gear 142, the second driving unit 143 including, for example, a rotation motor to precisely control rotation readings. The second driving unit 143 drives the second gear 142 to rotate, and under the meshing action, the first gear 141 rotates, so as to drive the push rod 132 connected with the first gear 141 to rotate, and the rotating clamping module drives the substrate 12 to rotate to a required angle, for example, to rotate until the substrate 12 turns over.
The thin film deposition apparatus generally further includes a process chamber 18, i.e., a deposition chamber, the susceptor 11 is disposed in the process chamber 18, and part units of the clamping module and the rotating module, such as a holder 131 of the clamping module, a first gear 141 and a second gear 142 of the rotating module, may be disposed in the process chamber 18, and the pushing rod 132 may be moved from the inside of the process chamber 18 to the outside of the process chamber 18. By the movement of the push rod 132 in the horizontal direction, the relative position of the clamper 131 and the substrate 12 is changed to clamp or release the substrate 12. In order to ensure that the process chamber 18 is kept sealed during the rotation operation, in a preferred example, the push rod 132 is in sealing connection with the cylinder 133 by using the bellows 16, i.e. the device further comprises a plurality of bellows 16, the piston rod of the cylinder 133 is connected with the push rod 132 and sleeved in the bellows 16, one end of the bellows 16 is connected with the outer wall of the process chamber 18, and the other end is connected with the cylinder 133. Similarly, the second driving unit 143 may be disposed outside the process chamber 18, and the second driving unit 143 may include, for example, a cylinder, and its main structure is disposed outside the process chamber 18 and connected to the outer wall of the process chamber 18 through a bellows, but the piston rod of the second driving unit 143 is sleeved in the bellows and extends from the outside to the inside of the process chamber 18 to be connected to the second gear 142. In other examples, in case of ensuring the sealing of the process chamber 18, the first gear 141, the second gear 142, and the second driving unit 143 of the rotation module may be entirely disposed outside the process chamber 18 while only the holder 131 is disposed inside the process chamber 18, so that the rotation of the rotation module may be more conveniently observed.
An exemplary working process of the thin film deposition apparatus provided by the present invention includes that when a substrate 12 needs to be coated, on the premise of ensuring that the gripper 131 does not collide with the base 11, the first driving unit drives the push rod 132 to move towards the substrate 12 until the gripper 131 abuts against the substrate 12, after the different grippers 131 abut against different sides of the substrate 12 to fix the substrate 12, the substrate 12 is separated from the base 11, the second driving unit 143 drives the second gear 142 to rotate, thereby driving the first gear 141 to rotate, and the gripping module drives the substrate 12 to rotate to a desired position, then the substrate 12 is placed on the base 11, the gripping module releases the substrate 12 to perform coating, and after coating, the substrate 12 is turned over again and reset according to the method described above. Or directly coating film in a state where the clamper 131 still holds the substrate 12 after turning over the substrate 12.
The key structure required by the rotation of the substrate can be arranged in the process cavity, so that the process cavity is not required to be opened in the process of rotating the substrate, and the pollution of the substrate can be avoided. Meanwhile, the arrangement of each structure is very compact, the layout of each structure can be met under the condition that the size of the cavity is not increased, the rotation operation is simple and efficient, and the improvement of the equipment output rate is facilitated.
In the case of the substrate 12 being fixable, the number of the holders 131 may be determined according to the structure thereof, and generally, the smaller the holding area thereof, the larger the number of the holders 131 is required, and the capability of sealing all the holders 131 to the side face of the substrate 12 is ensured as much as possible. In a preferred example, the number of the holders 131 is 2, and each holder 131 is in a semicircular shape, so that the 2 holders 131 form a circular ring, and the inner diameter of the circular ring is matched with the size of the base plate 12, so that the base plate 12 can be completely fixed in a circumferential direction. The clamper 131 and the base 11, or the substrate 12 on the base 11, form a closed environment to form a labyrinth seal device, so that the front surface of the substrate 12 is ensured to be free from plating film during the back surface process, and the substrate pollution is avoided. In comparison, the provision of 2 semicircular holders 131 contributes to simplification of the overall structure of the apparatus.
To better clamp the wafer, in one example, the clamp 131 includes a side edge, a first bottom edge and a second bottom edge, where the side edge abuts against the side surface of the substrate 12 during the process of clamping the substrate 12 by the clamp 131, and the first bottom edge and the second bottom edge are connected to the side edge at one end and extend to contact the upper surface and the lower surface of the substrate 12 at the other end respectively. Namely, the side edge, the first bottom edge and the second bottom edge of the holder 131 are connected to form a clamping groove, and the substrate 12 is embedded in the clamping groove in the process of holding the substrate 12. The first and second base edges preferably extend from the edge of the substrate 12 to the surface of the substrate 12 a distance of 2-3mm, which is typically a reserved non-coating area that does not interfere with normal coating operations. The material of the holder 131 may be selected in many ways, but in a preferred example, the holder 131 includes a metal material layer and a non-metal protection layer located inside the metal material layer, for example, a POM (polyoxymethylene) material layer, and the metal material layer may provide good support, and the POM material has good self-lubrication and wear resistance. In the process of clamping the substrate 12, the POM material layer is in contact with the substrate 12, so that damage to the substrate 12 can be avoided, and particle pollution caused by abrasion of the clamp 131 due to the edge of the substrate 12 can be avoided. To facilitate the clamping of the substrate 12, the first bottom edge and the second bottom edge of the clamp 131 may be non-horizontally connected with the side edges to have an inclination angle, so that the clamping groove of the clamp 131 has a V-shaped opening, and the edge of the substrate 12 slides into the clamping groove from the opening during the clamping of the substrate 12. The first bottom edge and the second bottom edge may be further provided with bumps to provide a certain compression during the process of clamping the substrate 12 to firmly fix the substrate 12.
The plurality of grippers 131 may share one driving unit, but it is necessary to realize interlocking of the plurality of grippers 131 by means of a connecting device such as a bearing. In a preferred example, each first driving unit driving each gripper 131 is independent, that is, the first driving units are disposed in one-to-one correspondence with the grippers 131, so as to avoid mutual interference, and the substrate 12 can be rotated to any angle, so that the rotation operation is more flexible.
The first gear 141 and the second gear 142 may be positioned so as to be engaged with each other. In a preferred embodiment, the first gear 141 and the second gear 142 are right angle gears, the first gear 141 is fixed on the push rod 132, and the second gear 142 is located below the first gear 141 to achieve a smoother transmission.
In some examples, the thin film deposition apparatus includes a detection module to detect whether the substrate 12 is rotated into place. There are various options for the detection module, such as in an example, the detection module includes more than two position sensors 17 spaced above the base 11, for example, disposed in the process chamber 18 and at the top, i.e. 2 position sensors 17 are spaced from each other, and each has a distance from the base 11, for example, 2 position sensors 17 may be respectively located directly above two ends of the base 11. The position sensor 17 is preferably a non-contact sensor, or a distance sensor may be used. The detection module is arranged, and whether the rotation position of the substrate 12 is in place is judged by the length of the optical fiber emitted by the position sensors 17 at the two sides of the upper side of the process cavity 18. When the positions of the two position sensors 17 show non-uniformity, then a low-speed fine adjustment is performed by the second drive unit 143 of the rotary module, for example by a rotary motor, thereby ensuring that the readings of the two position sensors 17 are uniform. The signal of the position sensor 17 is transmitted to the central processing unit of the console, which transmits a signal to the rotation mechanism to adjust the horizontal state of the substrate 12. In other examples, a displacement sensor or other detection module may be used, for example, a detection device disposed at a predetermined position to detect whether the substrate is horizontal, but compared with the position sensor 17, the detection device is simpler to use.
To better realize the rotation of the substrate 12, collision damage between the substrate 12 and other components during the rotation is avoided as much as possible, and in an example, the thin film deposition apparatus further includes a plurality of pins 151 and a third driving unit. The number of the ejector pins 151 is 3, for example, and the ejector pins are uniformly distributed at intervals along the circumferential direction of the base 11, one end of each ejector pin 151 is connected with a third driving unit, and the other end of each ejector pin passes through the base 11, and can be lifted in the base 11 under the driving of the third driving unit, so that the substrate 12 is driven to lift. The third driving unit includes, for example, a fixing plate 152 and a lifting cylinder 153, where the main body of the lifting cylinder 153 may be disposed outside the process chamber 18 and connected to the outer wall of the process chamber 18 through a bellows, and one end of the ejector pin 151 is fixed on the fixing plate 152 and extends upward into the base 11, and the fixing plate 152 moves up and down under the driving of the lifting cylinder 153, so as to drive the ejector pin 151 to lift in the base 11. Of course, in other examples, the rotation module may be connected to the lifting device, or the rotation module may be integrated with a lifting function, and the rotation module may be lifted up while rotating to gradually lift the substrate 12, so that the collision with the base 11 during the rotation operation may be reduced to some extent by lifting the rotation module itself. Alternatively, in other examples, the substrate 12 may be separated from the base 11 before the substrate 12 is clamped by using a pneumatic suspension method, for example, a plurality of air holes are formed in the base 11, and when the substrate needs to be turned over, air flows are ejected from the air holes so that the substrate floats above the base. However, the lifting thimble 151 is arranged in the base 11, which is a safer and more efficient design. The ejector pins 151 are made of ceramic or silicon carbide, for example, and the surface of the ejector pins contacting the substrate 12 may be an inclined slope so as to avoid scratching the substrate 12 during the process of lifting the substrate 12 as much as possible.
In the case of the provision of the ejector pins 151, an exemplary operating state of the device is described as follows:
a) Substrate 12 is initially not within process chamber 18 and substrate 12 is transferred to process chamber 18 by a robot arm, such as with substrate 12 facing up and back down, with pins 151 in a raised position to raise substrate 12 above the bottom edge of holder 131 (this position typically being when the front side of substrate 12 is not coated or the front side coating has been completed in other chambers prior to entering the process chamber).
b) Alternatively, the front surface coating of the substrate 12 performed in the process chamber 18 is completed, and at this time, the front surface of the substrate 12 is upward, the back surface is downward, the substrate 12 is lifted by the ejector pins 151, and the susceptor 11 is positioned at a low position, and is in a standby state for coating the back surface of the substrate 12.
In the above states a and b, the base 11 is in the low position. The reason why the two process operations a and b can be performed is that there is a clamping module, and the clamping module cooperates with the edge of the base 11 and the base 12 to form a sealed environment after the base 12 rotates to form a labyrinth seal device, so that the front surface of the base 12 is ensured to be free of coating during the back surface process, and the front surface of the base 12 is ensured not to be coated or secondarily coated. In other words, even if the operation of b as described above is not completed in one process chamber, the operation of a can be performed, still having the above-described effect.
When the substrate 12 needs to be coated by overturning, the piston rod of the air cylinder 133 extends outwards, the clamp 131 is abutted against the edge of the substrate 12 to clamp the substrate 12, the ejector pins 151 descend to gradually separate from the substrate 12, after the ejector pins 151 are in a low position (at this time, the ejector pins 151 and the base 11 are in a low position), the substrate 12 is overturned by utilizing the rotary motor through the rotary module of the design, the front surface of the substrate 12 faces downwards and the back surface faces upwards, the base 11 is lifted to the lower side of the substrate 12 (for example, the base 11 is in unlimited access to a wafer by adjusting the step number of the rotary motor) so as to support the substrate 12, and therefore the front surface of the substrate 12 is blocked, and then the back surface coating operation is performed.
The thin film deposition apparatus provided herein may be a chemical vapor deposition apparatus, and thus the apparatus may further include a gas distribution plate at the top of the process chamber to introduce the deposition source gas into the process chamber. And may further include an inert gas line, which may be disposed in a support module supporting the susceptor to introduce an inert gas to the surface of the susceptor, the inert gas may perform a cleaning and protecting function on the substrate, and the support module of the susceptor may be provided with a lifting unit (not shown). The thin film deposition apparatus may also be a physical vapor deposition apparatus, such as a magnetron sputtering apparatus, and thus the apparatus may further include a magnetron assembly located at the top of the process chamber. The embodiment is not limited to a specific type of the apparatus, or is applicable to various types of thin film deposition apparatuses, and can meet diversified thin film deposition requirements.
As can be seen from the foregoing description, the thin film deposition apparatus provided by the present application will have several of the following advantages:
1) By adopting the thin film deposition equipment provided by the application, only the edge of the substrate is contacted when the rotation operation of the substrate is carried out, devices such as a mechanical arm and the like outside the cavity are not needed, and the overturning operation is completed in the sealed process cavity, so that the pollution of the substrate can be effectively avoided.
2) The rotation of arbitrary angle of base plate can be realized to this application, can detect the upset simultaneously and whether put in place, if the upset fails in place, can correct the operation, improves the operation yield.
