Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of plasma treatment, in particular to a plasma treatment device, a focusing ring temperature adjusting device and a focusing ring temperature adjusting method.
Background
The plasma processing apparatus is to process a semiconductor substrate or a plasma panel by introducing a reaction gas containing an appropriate etchant or deposition source gas into a vacuum reaction chamber, and then performing rf energy input to the vacuum reaction chamber to activate the reaction gas to ignite and sustain a plasma so as to etch a material layer on a substrate surface or deposit a material layer on a substrate surface by the plasma.
As shown in fig. 1, in a conventional capacitive coupling type plasma processing apparatus (CCP), a vacuum reaction chamber 01 is included, an air inlet device such as a gas shower head 02 is provided at the top of the reaction chamber 01, and an upper electrode 03 coupled to the ground or a radio frequency potential is provided. A base 04 is arranged at the bottom of the reaction chamber 01, and the substrate 05 is carried in the process through an electrostatic chuck arranged on the base 04; a lower electrode is provided at the susceptor 04 and rf power is applied thereto, so that an rf electric field is formed in the reaction chamber 01, and the introduced reaction gas is generated into plasma. A focus ring 06 is circumferentially disposed around the outer edge of the pedestal 04 to control plasma uniformity by adjusting the distribution of the entire rf electric field within the reaction chamber 01, particularly at the edge of the substrate 05.
In addition to electrical effects, the temperature of the focus ring 06 can also affect the deposition of polymer at the edge of the substrate 05, resulting in microscopic critical dimension differences. With the demand of etching process for high aspect ratio, high power (low frequency) etching is widely used. High power (low frequency) etching will cause a sharp rise in temperature within the reaction chamber 01 and a large amount of heat will be obtained by both the substrate 05 and the focus ring 06. In order to ensure etching uniformity of the substrate 05 to be processed, a cooling medium pipe 08 for cooling the susceptor 04 is provided inside the susceptor 04, and the substrate 05 transfers heat to the susceptor 04 through an electrostatic chuck to rapidly dissipate heat. At the same time, if the focus ring 06 does not have a good heat dissipation path, the temperature difference between the focus ring 06 and the substrate 05 will be increased, which will cause the substrate 05 edge etching process to be detuned.
In view of the above, an insulating ring 07 or the like is generally provided around the outer periphery of the base 04 below the focus ring 06 as a heat conductive layer, and heat of the focus ring 06 is transferred to the base 04 to be cooled and dissipated. Further, because the operating temperature of the focus ring 06 is different in different etching processes, a heater is typically provided to heat the focus ring 06 for better and faster temperature control of the focus ring 06. At present, the heater 09 is generally disposed inside the insulating ring 07.
However, this design has some problems, on one hand, the temperature regulation target of the focusing ring 06 is the temperature of the top surface of the focusing ring, but the heater 09 is arranged below the bottom surface of the focusing ring 06, and the heat transfer path to the top surface of the focusing ring is far, so that the heat transfer efficiency from the heater 09 to the top surface of the focusing ring is low, and the temperature rise is slow; on the other hand, the heating path of the heater 09 to the focus ring 06 and the cooling path of the cooling medium pipe 08 to the focus ring 06 overlap each other, which may cause mutual interference between heating and cooling, and the temperature control effect is not ideal and the speed is slow.
Based on the above, the present invention provides a plasma processing apparatus, a focus ring temperature adjusting apparatus and a focus ring temperature adjusting method, so as to solve the drawbacks and limitations of the prior art.

13. The focus ring temperature adjustment device of claim 11,
the second temperature control unit is an annular cooling channel, and cooling medium is filled in the second temperature control unit.
14. The focus ring temperature adjustment device of claim 1, wherein,
the inside shielding ring that is provided with the ground connection of base shielding ring's inside is provided with the cable, the cable is used for providing the electric energy to first accuse temperature unit.
15. The focus ring temperature adjustment device of claim 1, wherein,
the plasma device is provided with a cover ring which surrounds the fixed ring and covers the top surface and the outer side wall of the fixed ring.
16. A plasma processing apparatus, comprising:
a reaction chamber in which a susceptor for fixing a substrate is disposed;
a focusing ring surrounding the outer periphery of the base;
a fixing ring surrounding the periphery of the focusing ring;
the focus ring temperature adjustment device according to any one of claims 1-15.
17. A method of adjusting the temperature of a focus ring, realized by the plasma processing apparatus according to claim 16, comprising:
a cooling process or a controllable heating process is carried out on a focusing ring in the plasma processing device;
wherein, the cooling process is: the heat radiated to the focusing ring by the plasma is downwards transferred to a base which is in butt joint with the insulating ring through the insulating ring which is in contact with the lower surface of the focusing ring, and is cooled through a second temperature control unit which is arranged in the base;
the controllable temperature rising process is as follows: and starting a first temperature control unit arranged in the fixed ring to generate a controllable external heating source, and transferring heat of the external heating source to a focusing ring which is abutted with the fixed ring through the fixed ring to controllably heat the focusing ring.
