Technical field
The utility model relates to the electrode of the hard inorganic material base plate plasma of a kind of dry etching body etching machine.
Background technology
Etching is a kind of considerable processing step in semiconductor fabrication process, microelectronics IC manufacturing process and the minute manufacturing technology, is a kind of main technique that graphical (pattern) that interrelate with photoetching handles.So-called etching, in fact narrow sense understanding is exactly photoetching corrosion, through photoetching photoresist is carried out photolithographic exposure earlier and handles, and falls required part of removing through alternate manner realization corrosion treatment then.Development along with little manufacturing process; On the broad sense, be etched into a kind of general designation of peeling off, remove material through solution, reactive ion or other mechanical system, become a kind of pervasive call of little processing and manufacturing.The simplest the most frequently used classification of etching is dry etching and wet etching.The dry etching kind is a lot, comprises photoablation, gaseous corrosion, plasma etching etc.Its advantage is: anisotropy is good, selects than high, and controllability, flexibility, good reproducibility are prone to realize automation, no chemical waste fluid, and processing procedure is not introduced pollution, and cleanliness factor is high.Shortcoming is: cost is high, complex equipments.The dry etching principal mode has pure chemistry process (like protected type, downstream formula, bucket formula), pure physical process (like ion beam milling), physical and chemical process, the ion etching RIE that responds commonly used, Assisted by Ion Beam free radical etching ICP etc.
Compare with other lithographic technique, the ICP lithographic technique is simple in structure, cost performance is high, the aspect ratio of device is bigger, install more miniaturization and simple to operate.The ICP source has the uniformity in diameter 20cm scope at least simultaneously, can independently control ion concentration and ion energy, has become comparatively desirable plasma source at present.The ICP reaction can obtain the high-density plasma greater than
, in order to realize the advanced course of processing.For example, lose silicon chip at normal temperatures deeply, can obtain high etch rate, vertical wide ratio of high etching and high selectivity keep sidewall steep simultaneously.This etching technics is widely used in various deep erosions, in the making like MEMS.Through the step of a depassivation of adding between passivation and etching, or, rationally regulate other etching parameters, not only can etch anisotropic end face through controlling the thickness of polymeric foil, and can be so that the end face inclination angle changes within the specific limits.Utilize ICP lithographic technique etch silicon sill and
compounds of group can obtain good etching effect equally.
The ICP lithographic technique is widely used in microelectronics, LED and photovoltaic field.The ICP lithographic technique also is used to prepare the substrate of HB-LED.
Sapphire Substrate is the base layer support of LED; On Sapphire Substrate through MOCVD grow successively
low temperature nucleating layer, N type doped layer, MQW (MQW) layer, P type doped layer; Make electrode again, just can process LED.On Sapphire Substrate, do figure through photoetching and etching and just can obtain the graphic sapphire substrate, promptly Patterned Sapphire Substrate is called for short PSS.The purpose of photoetching process is to need the sapphire of etching to appear with photoresist, with the sapphire shielding that does not need etching; The purpose of etching is that part of sapphire etching of being protected by photoresist not, to form figure.Compare with Sapphire Substrate, the graphic sapphire substrate has significant advantage.At first; After Sapphire Substrate carried out graphical treatment; When substrate surface growth
; The lattice mismatch of sapphire with
can reduce; Thereby reduce the helical dislocation that causes by lattice mismatch; Just can reduce the non-radiation recombination of light induced electron-hole effectively, improve the internal quantum efficiency of LED, strengthen the brightness of LED causing owing to helical dislocation; Secondly, because the light that produces from MQW only has the single direction of propagation, if the Sapphire Substrate of light process graphical treatment can increase the scattering of light, this just makes light that a plurality of directions of propagation are arranged.The light ray propagation that produces from MQW is during to air-sapphire interface; If incidence angle is greater than
(refractive index of
air;
is sapphire refractive index); LED is returned in light generation total reflection; If incidence angle is less than
; Light will reflect, and propagates in the air.And the design of LED is unidirectional bright dipping, does not hope that light penetrates from Sapphire Substrate one side.After being PSS, the figure on the Sapphire Substrate has increased the scattering of light, makes light that the more direction of propagation arranged; Just there is more rays generation total reflection to return LED; These light will so just improve the light eduction rate of LED from the exiting surface bright dipping, strengthen the brightness of LED.
It is significant to the brightness that improves LED to make PSS, and the sapphire sheet after the photoetching will could form PSS through over etching, and therefore, etching is the critical process step of making in the PSS technology.The purpose of etching is optionally to remove the part saphire substrate material according to the situation of photoetching.I.e. utilization is in plasmoid
and
carries out physical bombardment and chemical corrosion to Sapphire Substrate; The Sapphire Substrate that is not covered by photoresist is etched away, and that part of Sapphire Substrate that is covered by photoresist is not etched.Like this, after the over etching machine is handled, just on Sapphire Substrate, form figure, process Sapphire Substrate.
The etch rate and the etching homogeneity of sapphire etching machine are most important to the making of Sapphire Substrate.At first, etch rate is fast, and the etch period required for identical etching depth is just few, and production efficiency just can be improved.Secondly, etching homogeneity has conclusive effect for the yield that improves the PSS product.Like good uniformity in the chankings, on the basis that guarantees the luminous efficiency uniformity, on a slice sapphire sheet, just can be partitioned into more LED substrate so; If uniformity is better between the sapphire sheet sheet, 23 sapphire sheet can useless sheet can not occur as the substrate of high-brightness LED so.
Bottom electrode is not only the support of etching system etching substrate, and is that etch chamber ionic medium system passes through bias voltage down, thereby makes the accelerated motion of plasma subtegulum carry out physical bombardment to substrate, with the supporting etching of carrying out of chemical corrosion.
There are problems in the existing bottom electrode that is used for the ICP etching machine of etching inorganic material substrate.At first, electrode disk can only be placed a wafers, causes etching system can only carry out the monolithic etching, is unfavorable for large-scale production.Secondly, in order to obtain etching result preferably, need to adopt gas-cooled method that single substrate is cooled off; Cooling blast is easy to substrate blown afloat and departs from original position; Therefore, electrode system will attach compressing tablet mechanism, and it has increased the difficulty of electrode system design and processing.
