Description of drawings
But the structural representation of the electrostatic chuck of Fig. 1 to be the utility model said temperature subregion regulation and control;
Fig. 2 is the vertical view of the said electrostatic chuck of the utility model.
Embodiment
Embodiment below in conjunction with description of drawings the utility model.
Cooperation is referring to Fig. 1, shown in Figure 2, and the described electrostatic chuck of the utility model comprises the dielectric layer 11 that the thermal conductive ceramic material is processed, and it is arranged on the pedestal 12 of vacuum treatment chamber bottom.Said pedestal 12 is that the edge is stair-stepping disc structure; The area of said dielectric layer 11 is equal to or slightly less than the area that is placed on the wafer 50 on this dielectric layer 11.Apply direct current on the electrode of in said dielectric layer 11, burying underground 60, come the said wafer 50 of sticking thereby produce electrostatic charge.
Correspondence has been divided some subregions on dielectric layer 11 and pedestal 12, for example can be radially to divide first subregion 21 and second subregion 22, said second subregion 22 be looped around the peripheral of said first subregion 21 and with its concentric setting; Said first subregion 21 and second subregion 22, corresponding with the central area 51 and the fringe region 52 of wafer on the electrostatic chuck 50.
In first, second subregion 21 and 22 of pedestal 12, be provided with the independent controlled heat exchanger (chiller) 31,32 of a cover separately.Said heat exchanger can be the some passages that are opened in the said pedestal 12; Through heating or cool off the fluid in this passage; Improve or reduce the temperature of electrostatic chuck respective partition, thereby can adjust respectively the temperature of wafer 50 centers and fringe region.
Dielectric layer 11 inside at said electrostatic chuck also are provided with calandria 40, and it can be the some circle heater coils that are provided with around these dielectric layer 11 edges.On the said heater coil of being processed by tungsten filament constant resistance heating element, if the power that applies regularly, the amplitude that temperature raises was directly proportional with heating time; If heating time one regularly, the intensification amplitude is directly proportional with power.
In other embodiments, the number of partitions of said electrostatic chuck can be not limited to above-mentioned two, for example can be on electrostatic chuck radially concentric be furnished with more multi partition.Perhaps, on said electrostatic chuck, also can carry out subregion according to other modes.Corresponding configuration heat exchanger or calandria or both combinations in different subregions; Through the independent said heat exchanger of control or calandria separately unlatching or close, perhaps can both adjust respectively the subregion temperature through the flow of heat-conducting fluid in the independent control heat exchanger.
Preferably, in the subregion at the edge of corresponding wafer, be provided with said calandria at least; Compare the position of heat exchanger in this subregion, make said calandria in the horizontal direction more near the edge of wafer.Because in the vertical direction, said calandria than said heat exchanger more near said wafer, faster for the temperature increase speed of its fringe region, also more flexible.In the plasma treatment chamber of existing capacitive coupling type (CCP), be that mid portion is greater than marginal portion concentration owing to the reason of physical structure is applying the plasma distribution that produces behind the high-frequency radio frequency electric field; For the treatment effect that obtains homogeneous need be at gas flow; Reactant species, perhaps compensatory correction is done in aspect such as temperature.So prior art is not because electrostatic chuck contains calandria and can't on temperature, revise, the treatment effect that obtain homogeneous need could obtain in the very big concession of others do.The utility model has added a calandria at the upper marginal position of electrostatic chuck can effectively realize the adjusting significantly to wafer surface temperature, low-cost and effectively improved the uniformity to wafer process.The upper surface zone line of prior art electrostatic chuck fixed wafer comprises that the passage of a plurality of refrigerating gases such as helium (He) is to derive unnecessary heat on the wafer; Directly taken away if imbed the heat of heater generation at zone line, can't realize the goal of the invention of the utility model by the helium of these heat conduction.So prior art is not distinguished control to the surface temperature of electrostatic chuck.The utility model recognizes that this unheeded may command blind area has proposed at the upper surface of edges of electrostatic chuck calandria to be set; Make calandria be positioned at DC electrode top and, cooperate the multi-region heat exchanger of independent control in the pedestal can improve Temperature Distribution greatly again on the entire wafer surface around the gas communication passage of radiating area.
Under the constant situation of other reaction conditions; Promote the temperature of Waffer edge through said calandria; Can make this fringe region carry out the processing speed quickening of reactions such as etching; Thereby the influence that the inhomogeneous grade of original distribution of gas that directly makes progress the counteracting wafer causes finally obtains more uniform processing effect at the center and the edge of wafer.
Although the content of the utility model has been done detailed introduction through above-mentioned preferred embodiment, will be appreciated that above-mentioned description should not be considered to the restriction to the utility model.After those skilled in the art have read foregoing, for the multiple modification of the utility model with to substitute all will be conspicuous.Therefore, the protection range of the utility model should be limited appended claim.
