The terminology used herein in the description of the application is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to be limiting of the application. The term "and/or" as used herein includes any and all combinations of one or more of the associated listed items.
Please refer to fig. 1. The embodiment of the application provides a gas distribution mechanism of a thin film deposition device, which comprises a spraying backboard 33, a gas equalization board 29, a uniform flow board 23 and a spraying board 22 which are sequentially arranged along a first direction X.
Wherein the shower back plate 33 and the shower plate 22 together form a shower header, and the air homogenizing plate 29 and the air homogenizing plate 23 are positioned in the shower header. A first air-homogenizing cavity 31 is formed between the homogenizing plate 23 and the spraying back plate 33, a second air-homogenizing cavity 25 is formed between the homogenizing plate 23 and the spraying plate 22, and the air-homogenizing plate 29 is arranged in the first air-homogenizing cavity 31. The shower back plate 33 is provided with a first through hole at a position facing the gas-equalizing plate 29. The gas-equalizing plate 29 is provided with a through gas-equalizing hole (not shown). The flow homogenizing plate 23 is provided with through flow homogenizing holes 28, and the flow homogenizing holes 28 are used for allowing the process gas to enter the second gas homogenizing chamber 25 from the first gas homogenizing chamber 31. The shower plate 22 is provided with shower holes 26 therethrough.
According to the gas distribution mechanism of the film deposition device, process gas can sequentially pass through the gas equalizing holes, the gas equalizing holes 28 and the spraying holes 26 and enter the reaction cavity to react with a product to be processed, so that the gas distribution mechanism can improve gas distribution uniformity, and film deposition uniformity is improved.
In the present embodiment, the area of the gas uniformity plate 29 is larger than or equal to the area of the first through holes, so that all the process gases flowing out of the first through holes can be uniformly distributed. The area described in this embodiment means an area of a surface perpendicular to the first direction X. Preferably, the central lines of the spraying backboard 33, the air homogenizing board 29, the air homogenizing board 23 and the spraying board 22 can be overlapped, so that the air distribution mechanism is symmetrically distributed, and the air distribution is more uniform.
Preferably, the air distribution mechanism further comprises a first air inlet pipe 10 and an air inlet flange 11. The outlet of the first inlet pipe 10 is connected to an inlet flange 11. The first air inlet pipe 10 and the air inlet flange 11 are located on the side of the shower back plate 33 facing away from the air equalization plate 29. The first through hole of the shower backplate 33 and the inner wall of the air intake flange 11 form an air intake 40. In the first direction X, the diameter of the air inlet 40 gradually increases, i.e. the air inlet flange 11 tapers. The intake flange 11 may be a water cooled flange. A space ring 30 is arranged between the air equalizing plate 29 and the spraying backboard 33, so that the air equalizing plate 29 is fixedly connected with the spraying backboard 33.
In the present embodiment, in the first direction X, the air-equalizing holes and the air-equalizing holes 28 are staggered, and the air-equalizing holes 28 and the shower holes 26 are staggered, so that uneven air distribution caused by local small hole overlapping can be prevented, and air distribution uniformity can be further improved.
The process gas enters the gas inlet 40 from the first gas inlet pipe 10 through the gas inlet flange 11 and then enters the first gas equalizing cavity 31. The first inlet pipe 10 has a relatively high inflow speed, and the process gas enters the inlet flange 11, and the process gas diffuses to the periphery due to the gradual expansion of the volume, so that the speed is reduced, and a first gas equalizing layer is formed.
The process gas continues to flow to the gas-equalizing plate 29, a small gap is formed between the gas-equalizing plate 29 and the spray backboard 33, the process gas is blocked by the gas-equalizing plate 29 and then diffuses to the periphery through the gap, and meanwhile, the process gas can diffuse downwards from the gas-equalizing holes, and the gas-equalizing plate 29 forms a second gas-equalizing layer.
Thereafter, the process gas is diffusion-filled in the first gas-equalizing chamber 31, gradually and uniformly, and then flows into the second gas-equalizing chamber 25 through the gas-equalizing holes 28 of the gas-equalizing plate 23, and the gas-equalizing plate 23 forms a third gas-equalizing layer.
Finally, the process gas is uniformly diffused and filled in the second air-equalizing cavity 25, then is sprayed out through the spraying holes 26 of the spraying plate 22, uniformly flows to the product to be processed on the surface of the carrier plate, and the spraying plate 22 forms a fourth air-equalizing layer.
According to the four-layer gas-equalizing layer, the gas distribution mechanism is guaranteed to have excellent gas distribution uniformity, so that the flow field uniformity of process gas in the film deposition device is improved, and the film deposition uniformity is improved.
In this embodiment, a uniform plasma field is formed between the lower surface of the shower plate 22 and the carrier plate, and the gap between the lower surface of the shower plate 22 and the carrier plate is required to be uniform, so that the flatness of the lower surface of the shower plate 22 is required to be high, and the deformation of the shower plate 22 is required to be small. While the shower plate 22 has a large area (for example, a surface thereof perpendicular to the first direction X may be square, and a side length may be 2 to 5 meters), and the shower plate 22 has a high temperature (for example, may be 200 to 300 c), and the shower plate 22 is extremely susceptible to thermal deformation or sagging.
Thus, the air distribution mechanism further comprises at least two first connection assemblies 27. The first connection assembly 27 is located on the peripheral side of the gas-equalizing plate 29 and is located approximately at the intermediate position of the gas-equalizing plate 23 and the shower plate 22. The first connecting assembly 27 can fixedly connect the uniform flow plate 23, the spray plate 22 and the spray back plate 33, can prevent sagging deformation of the middle parts of the uniform flow plate 23 and the spray plate 22, ensures the flatness of the lower surface of the spray plate 22, improves the uniformity of an electric field and improves the uniformity of film deposition.
Specifically, as shown in FIG. 2, the first connection assembly 27 may include a first fastener 36. The shower back plate 33 is provided with a second through hole for installing the first fastening piece 36, the uniform flow plate 23 is provided with a third through hole for the first fastening piece 36 to pass through, and the shower plate 22 is provided with a fourth through hole for installing the first fastening piece 36. The first fastener 36 may be a screw or other fastener having a securing effect. A third cover plate 35 may be disposed on the side of the shower back plate 33 facing away from the shower plate 22, where the third cover plate 35 covers the second through hole and may reinforce the shower back plate 33.
Wherein the fourth through hole coincides with the location of one of the shower holes 26 where the mounting of the first fastener 36 would result in uneven distribution of process gas. Therefore, the shower plate 22 is provided with at least two inclined holes 39 on the peripheral side of the fourth through hole, and the extending direction of the inclined holes 39 intersects the first direction X. One end of the inclined hole 39 is communicated with a cavity (namely the second air equalizing cavity 25) between the uniform flow plate 23 and the spray plate 22, and the other end is communicated with the fourth hole, so that process gas can enter the spray holes 26 below the first fastening pieces 36 through the inclined hole 39, the influence caused by the first fastening pieces 36 is eliminated, and the uniformity of gas distribution is ensured.
In addition, to prevent compression deformation of the shower backing 33, the flow distributor plate 23, and the shower plate 22 when the first fastener 36 is tightened, the first connection assembly 27 further includes the boss 24 and the retaining ring 38. The boss 24 is located between the shower back plate 33 and the flow homogenizing plate 23. In the first direction X, the height of the boss 24 is greater than or equal to the distance between the shower backplate 33 and the uniform flow plate 23. The boss 24 is provided with a fifth through hole through which the first fastener 36 is inserted. The retaining ring 38 is located between the flow uniformity plate 23 and the shower plate 22. In the first direction X, the height of the positioning ring 38 is greater than or equal to the distance between the uniform flow plate 23 and the shower plate 22. The positioning ring 38 is provided with a sixth through hole through which the first fastener 36 is inserted. By providing the boss 24 and the positioning ring 38, the shower back plate 33, the uniform flow plate 23, and the shower plate 22 can be fixed to each other with a gap in the first direction X at the time of tightening the first fastener 36 without being deformed by buckling. Wherein, the positioning ring 38 can be fixedly connected with the uniform flow plate 23 and the boss 24 through the second screw 37.
In this embodiment, the high frequency voltage is fed from the conductive plate to the shower back plate 33 and then conducted to the shower plate 22, and the lower surface of the shower plate 22 and the grounded carrier plate form a plasma field. The spraying back plate 33, the spraying plate 22 and the internal metal parts thereof are all provided with high-frequency voltage, so that unnecessary and harmful arcing discharge is easily formed with the peripheral metal parts, particularly at the sharp corners of the edges, and special insulation treatment is needed.
As shown in fig. 1 and 3, the present air distribution mechanism further includes an insulating plate group located on the peripheral sides of the shower plate 22 and the shower back plate 33. The insulation plate set may be fixedly mounted to the shower plate 22. In the first direction X, one end of the insulating plate group is aligned with the surface of the shower back plate 33 facing away from the shower plate 22, and the other end is beyond the surface of the shower plate 22 facing away from the shower back plate 33.
Specifically, the insulating plate group includes a first insulating plate 18 and a second insulating plate 20, the first insulating plate 18 extending in the first direction X, and the second insulating plate 20 extending perpendicular to the first direction X. The first insulating plate 18 and the second insulating plate 20 have high temperature resistance characteristics. The edges and sharp corners of the shower plate 22 may be completely wrapped by the first and second insulating plates 18, 20, the common edge 53 of the first and second insulating plates 18, 20 nested within each other may wrap the first sharp corner 43 of the shower plate 22, the edges 46, 47 of the second insulating plate 20 may wrap the second sharp corner 45 of the shower plate 22, and the edges 47, 55 of the second insulating plate 20 may wrap the third sharp corner 44 of the shower plate 22. The sloping side 54 of the second insulating plate 20 smoothly transitions from the bottom side of the second insulating plate 20 to the bottom side of the shower plate 22, preventing disturbance of the gas flow, preventing formation of vortex, etc.
Further, the second insulating plate 20 may be mounted to the shower plate 22 by the first screw 21. Since the first screw 21 is made of metal, and is connected to the shower plate 22 with high-frequency voltage, the first screw 21 also has high-frequency voltage. Therefore, the head of the first screw 21 is provided with a threaded hole, and the elongated thread inside the insulating cap 42 fastens the insulating cap 42 on the head of the first screw 21, so as to insulate and protect the first screw 21 and prevent the first screw 21 from arcing with the bottom metal piece. A washer 41 is provided between the insulating cap 42 and the first screw 21.
Please refer to fig. 1. The embodiment of the application also provides a thin film deposition device, which comprises a main body, a carrier plate (not shown) and an air distribution mechanism. The air distribution mechanism may be an air distribution mechanism as described in any embodiment above, which is not described herein.
The main body is internally provided with a reaction cavity (not shown), and at least part of the gas distribution mechanism is positioned in the reaction cavity. The main body comprises a cavity cover 1, and the cavity cover 1 is fixedly connected with a spraying backboard 33. The carrier plate is used for containing products to be processed. The carrier plate is located within the reaction chamber and on the side of the shower plate 22 facing away from the shower back plate 33.
In this embodiment, the thin film deposition apparatus further includes a second connection assembly for connecting the chamber lid 1 and the shower backboard 33. The second connection assembly comprises a second fastener 9, a first insulating ring 13, a first spacer and a first cover plate. The second fastener 9 may be a screw or other fastener having a fixing effect.
The first insulating ring 13 is located between the chamber cover 1 and the spraying backboard 33, and the second fastening piece 9 penetrates through the chamber cover 1 and the first insulating ring 13 to be fixed on the spraying backboard 33. The first spacer is provided between the second fastener 9 and the chamber cover 1. The first cover plate is arranged on one side of the cavity cover 1, which faces away from the spraying backboard 33, and is connected with the first isolating piece.
A third insulating ring may be provided between the side of the second fastener 9 remote from the shower backplate 33 and the first cover plate. The first spacer and the third insulating ring insulate the second fastener 9 with the high frequency voltage, preventing the high frequency voltage from being conducted to the chamber cover 1. The first cover plate plays a role in pressing the third insulating ring and simultaneously plays a role in reinforcing the grooving of the cavity cover 1.
In this embodiment, the thin film deposition apparatus further includes a third connection assembly for connecting the chamber lid 1 and the shower backboard 33. Preferably, the second connection assembly is located on the peripheral side of the first connection assembly 27, and the second connection assembly is located approximately in the middle portion of the shower backplate 33. The third connection assembly is located at the end of the shower backplate 33 and the second connection assembly is closer to the first connection assembly 27 than the third connection assembly.
As shown in fig. 4, the third connection assembly includes a third fastener 15, a second insulating ring 14, an insulating sleeve 16, and a second spacer 19. The third fastener 15 may be a screw or other fastener having a fixing function. In the present embodiment, the shower back plate 33 is mounted and fastened to the chamber cover 1 by the second fastening member 9 and the third fastening member 15. Wherein the second fastening member 9 and the third fastening member 15 are oppositely oriented, so that the connection is more stable and convenient.
The shower back plate 33 is provided with a seventh through hole through which the third fastening member 15 is penetrated. The second insulating ring 14 is located between the chamber lid 1 and the shower backplate 33. The third fastening piece 15 is arranged through the spraying backboard 33 and the second insulating ring 14 and is fixed on the cavity cover 1. The insulating sleeve 16 is arranged in the seventh through hole, the outer diameter of the side of the insulating sleeve 16 facing the shower plate 22 is larger than the outer diameter of the side facing away from the shower plate 22, i.e. the insulating sleeve 16 may be stepped. The inner wall of the insulating sleeve 16 and the third fastener 15 have a first gap 51 in the second direction Y. The second spacer 19 is disposed between the third fastener 15 and the shower plate 22. The second direction Y intersects the first direction X. Preferably, the second direction Y is perpendicular to the first direction X. In this embodiment, the first direction X is a vertical direction, and the second direction Y is a horizontal direction.
Because the size of the spray backboard 33 is larger, the temperature difference between the spray backboard 33 and the cavity cover 1 is larger, and the thermal deformation relative displacement is larger. The shower backplate 33 and the chamber cover 1 are fixedly connected by a second connection assembly, which is approximately in the middle of the shower backplate 33, so that the expansion of the shower backplate 33 is mainly manifested at the ends/surroundings, whereby the third connection assembly is provided with a first gap 51.
Preferably, a spacer 17 may be provided between the third fastener 15 and the insulating sleeve 16. The inner wall of the insulating sleeve 16 and the spacer 17 are provided with a second gap 52 in the second direction Y. When the spray backboard 33 is heated and expanded to shift left, the third fastening piece 15 and the gasket 17 are relatively fixed, and due to the existence of the first gap 51 and the second gap 52, the insulating sleeve 16 is driven to move left, the thermal expansion displacement is released, the spray backboard 33 and the spray board 22 are prevented from being damaged by themselves or other parts caused by huge thermal stress and thermal deformation due to the limitation of the thermal expansion deformation, the flatness of the lower surface of the spray board 22 is ensured, the electric field uniformity is improved, and the film deposition uniformity is improved. The insulating sleeve 16 may be circular in shape so as to have a good compensation for thermal expansion deformations of 360 degrees.
In the present embodiment, the shower back plate 33 is provided with a high-frequency voltage, and the chamber cover 1 is grounded, and the high-frequency voltage of the shower back plate 33 cannot be transmitted to the chamber cover 1, so that an insulating process is performed between the shower back plate 33 and the chamber cover 1. The first insulating ring 13 and the second insulating ring 14 are made of a high temperature resistant nonmetallic material, and prevent conduction between the shower back plate 33 and the chamber cover 1. Meanwhile, the first insulating ring 13 has a sealing structure, and seals the space between the spray backboard 33 and the cavity cover 1 to form a vacuum sealing area.
Although the second insulating ring 14 is made of insulating material, the outer surface of the second insulating ring 14 is deposited with a thin film for a long time, and the film layer has conductivity, so the second insulating ring 14 has a special design. The second insulating ring 14 includes a first ring portion 48 and a second ring portion 49, the second ring portion 49 being located on a peripheral side of the first ring portion 48, a first cavity 50 being provided between the first ring portion 48 and the second ring portion 49, the first cavity 50 communicating with an outside of the second insulating ring 14. In this way, the risk of film deposition inside the first cavity 50 is greatly reduced, so that the outer surface of the second insulating ring 14 is prevented from being deposited by the film to conduct the spraying backboard 33 and the cavity cover 1, and the electric field stability is ensured.
Because the spraying backboard 33 carries high-frequency voltage, the cavity cover 1 is grounded, the spraying backboard and the cavity cover cannot be conducted, and the third fastening piece 15 is made of metal and has a conductor function. Thus, the insulating sleeve 16 is made of a high temperature resistant insulating material, preventing the third fastener 15 from electrically conducting between the shower backplate 33 and the chamber cover 1. The second spacer 19 is installed between the head of the third fastener 15 and the charged shower plate 22, insulating the third fastener 15 from the shower plate 22. In this way, the high-frequency voltage carried by the shower back plate 33 and the shower plate 22 is prevented from being transmitted to the chamber cover 1.
In this embodiment, the parts such as the shower back plate 33, the shower plate 22 and the flow homogenizing plate 23 are easily polluted by the film deposition and dust particles during the process, so that a heating part can be arranged in the shower back plate 33 to heat the parts such as the shower back plate 33, the shower plate 22 and the flow homogenizing plate 23 and the internal gas thereof, on one hand, the temperature of the gas distribution mechanism can be increased, the surface film deposition and dust adhesion can be reduced, and on the other hand, the process gas can be heated to reach or approach the process temperature before the process is performed, the film deposition uniformity and the film deposition efficiency can be improved, and the cost can be reduced. The heating portion may be a heater nested on the upper surface of the shower backplate 33.
Meanwhile, since the spraying backboard 33 is provided with high-frequency voltage, the outgoing line of the heating part of the spraying board 22 is connected with the filter, so that the interaction between the high-frequency voltage of the spraying backboard 33 and the heating part and the temperature measuring sensor of the heating part can be eliminated. The cavity cover 1 can be provided with an insulating sleeve through which the outgoing line passes. The insulating sleeve is made of high-temperature resistant insulating materials, and high-frequency voltage of the outgoing line of the heating part is prevented from being transmitted to the cavity cover 1.
In the present embodiment, a third gap 57 is provided between the chamber lid 1 and the shower back plate 33. The thin film deposition apparatus may further include a second air inlet pipe and a second cover plate. The second air inlet pipe is used for conveying inert gas. The second cover plate is arranged on one surface of the cavity cover 1 facing the spraying backboard 33, and the second cover plate and the cavity cover 1 form a blowing cavity. The outlet of the second air inlet pipe is connected with the purging cavity. The second cover plate is provided with a plurality of purge holes for communicating the purge chamber with the third gap 57.
The inert gas enters the purging cavity from the second air inlet pipe and flows into a third gap 57 formed among the cavity cover 1, the spraying backboard 33 and the first insulating ring 13, the process gas is blown away from the third gap 57, dust particle pollution formed by thin film deposition of the process gas on the surface of the third gap 57 is prevented, and arcing discharge between the lower surface of the cavity cover 1 and the upper surface of the spraying backboard 33 is prevented.
The shape of the main body is not limited only, but also may be rectangular parallelepiped, cylindrical or other three-dimensional shape. Accordingly, the cross section of the body may be rectangular, circular or otherwise in a direction perpendicular to the first direction X. In this embodiment, the cross section may be square and have a side length of at least 2 meters. I.e. the reaction chamber has a side length of at least 2 meters. The embodiment has a large-area cavity, so that a large-area carrier plate and a spray plate 22 can be arranged, and the large-area carrier plate can contain more objects to be treated, so that the productivity can be improved, and the cost can be reduced.
The thin film deposition device provided by the embodiment of the application is used for depositing the thin film of the photovoltaic cell slice in the heterojunction process, the process efficiency reaches more than 25%, and compared with the existing mainstream process and equipment, the thin film deposition device is high in efficiency, and the efficiency of the photovoltaic cell slice can be greatly improved. Therefore, the film deposition device improves the efficiency of the battery piece, reduces the processing procedures and reduces the equipment cost.
