An embodiment of the application provides a reactive ion etching machine, which is used for improving the cooling efficiency of a counter electrode and a silicon wafer.
Referring to fig. 1, in one embodiment, the reactive ion etcher includes a cooling fluid supply device 100 for supplying a cooling fluid, a reaction chamber 200 for performing an etching reaction, a cooling device 300 for cooling components such as an electrode and a silicon wafer, and other related components. The present application is primarily described with respect to the structure of the cooling device 300, and other components will not be described again.
At least the tray 330 of the cooling device 300 is located in the reaction chamber 200, and for example, the entire cooling device 300 may be located in the reaction chamber 200. At least one of the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet of the cooling device 300 is connected to the cooling liquid supply device 100 for feeding the cooling liquid. Preferably, in one embodiment, the liquid inlet and the liquid outlet are both in communication with the cooling liquid supply device 100 for cyclically supplying the cooling liquid for cooling. Of course, in some embodiments, the drain port may be in communication with other containers for recycling or draining the cooling fluid. Usually, cooling water may be used as the cooling liquid, but of course, other liquids having a good cooling effect may be used as the cooling liquid.
Referring to fig. 2-5, the cooling device 300 includes a cooling plate 310, a cooling plate 320, and a tray 330. The tray 330 is used for holding a processing object such as a silicon wafer. The tray 330 is mounted on the cooling plate 320 so as to transfer heat to the cooling plate 320.
The cooling tray 310 has a recess 311, a liquid inlet 312, and a liquid outlet 313. The recess 311 is formed by recessing the top surface of the cooling plate 310. The liquid inlet port 312 and the liquid outlet port 313 are provided in the bottom wall of the recess 311 for allowing the cooling liquid to enter the recess 311 and to be discharged from the recess 311. In the present embodiment, the liquid inlet 312 and the liquid outlet 313 are communicated with the cooling liquid supply device 100 through the corresponding pipelines 110 (shown in fig. 2).
The bottom wall of the recess 311 has a protruding choke 314 and at least one ring of water storage slots 315 (including two slot walls). The obstruction 314 is located between the inlet port 312 and the outlet port 313 to prevent the coolant from flowing directly from the inlet port 312 to the outlet port 313. The reservoir 315 surrounds the liquid inlet 312 and the liquid outlet 313. As shown in fig. 4, some gaps may be left between the blocking element 314 and the wall of the water storage tank 315, so that not all the cooling liquid is blocked by the blocking element 314, and a portion of the cooling liquid may flow into the area where the liquid discharge port 313 is located from the gaps, thereby ensuring that the portion of the cooling plate 320 corresponding to the area where the liquid discharge port 313 is located can be cooled.
Referring to fig. 2, 3 and 5, the cooling plate 320 covers the recess 311 and forms a cooling cavity with the recess 311 for accommodating a cooling liquid. The cooling cavity is filled with cooling liquid, and the bottom surface of the cooling plate 320 is directly contacted with the cooling liquid, so that the cooling liquid can cool the cooling plate 320. The cooling plate 320 is fixed to the cooling plate 310 by fixing means such as welding, screwing, or bonding, while sealing the recess 311.
In the present embodiment, the choke 314 is designed to be higher than the wall height of the water storage tank 315. The top end of the flow blocking member 314 abuts or extends through the cooling plate 320 to completely close the flow of the cooling fluid in height, thereby causing the cooling fluid to flow toward the reservoir 315, as indicated by the arrows in fig. 4 and 5. The top of the water storage tank 315 has a gap with the cooling plate 320 so that the cooling liquid enters the water storage tank 315 through the gap. As shown in fig. 4, the water storage tank 315 has a circular shape. In other embodiments, the water storage tank 315 may have other shapes, such as a square, a triangle, other number of polygons, a special-shaped structure, and the like.
Referring to fig. 4 and 5, after the cooling fluid flows into the cooling cavity through the fluid inlet 312, the cooling fluid is forced to accumulate toward the water storage tank 315 by the flow blocking member 314, and once the cooling fluid reaches a certain height, the cooling fluid flows into the water storage tank 315 and the surrounding area (as indicated by arrows). By flowing the cooling fluid through the entire area of the cooling chamber as much as possible, rather than directly from the inlet port 312 to the outlet port 313, the cooling fluid flowing in can be uniformly brought into contact with the cooling plate 320 for heat exchange. After flowing into the water storage tank 315, the cooling liquid can flow uniformly within a predetermined range, the size of which depends on the size of the silicon wafer to be processed by the apparatus. The coolant in the reservoir 315 cannot easily flow out of the drain port 313, and the contact time of the coolant with the cooling plate 320 is prolonged. The cooling device 300 can uniformly push the cooling liquid to flow, so as to prolong the water retention period and reduce the influence of convection on heat dissipation.
Referring to fig. 2 to 4, in one embodiment, the choke 314 is a Y-shaped cylinder having a Y-shaped lift pin groove 3141 for mounting a lift pin for lifting a processing object mounted on the tray 330. The cooling plate 320 has a lifting port 322 matching the Y-shaped cylinder, and the top end of the Y-shaped cylinder is hermetically disposed in the lifting port 322. Wherein the top of the Y-shaped cylinder may be flush with the top wall of the cooling plate 320. In this embodiment, the choke 314 is used as a lift pin mounting seat, so that the choke and the lift pin can be integrated, which is beneficial to the compactness of the whole structure. Of course, in other embodiments, the obstruction 314 and the lift pin slot may be two parts, and the obstruction 314 only serves to block the flow of the cooling fluid from the fluid inlet 312 directly to the fluid outlet 313.
In order to increase the flow-blocking effect of the flow-blocking element 314, in an embodiment, referring to fig. 4, the liquid inlet 312 and the liquid outlet 313 are symmetrically disposed on two sides of one leg 3142 of the Y-shaped cylinder. Of course, the liquid inlet 312 and the liquid outlet 313 may be disposed elsewhere, and are not limited to the positions shown in FIG. 4.
In the present embodiment, the tray 330 dissipates heat through heat transfer with the cooling plate 320. In order to further enhance the cooling effect on the tray 330, in one embodiment, the bottom surface of the tray 330 has a first concave-convex portion with concave-convex fluctuation. The cooling plate 320 is used to mount a second concavo-convex portion having concavo-convex undulation on the top surface of the tray 330. The concave portion of the first concave-convex portion is fitted with the convex portion of the second concave-convex portion, and the convex portion of the first concave-convex portion is fitted with the concave portion of the second concave-convex portion, so that the contact area between the tray 330 and the cooling plate 320 is increased, and the heat dissipation efficiency of the tray 330 is improved.
Referring to fig. 2, 3 and 6, as an example, the first concavo-convex part includes at least two circular protruded ridges 3311 concentrically arranged and a circular groove 3312 between the adjacent circular protruded ridges 3311, and the second concavo-convex part has a circular groove 3211 and a circular protruded ridge 3212 corresponding to the first concavo-convex part.
Further, the first concavo-convex part may further include a radial protrusion 3313 disposed in a radial direction, the radial protrusion 3313 being disposed to intersect the circular protrusion 3311, and the second concavo-convex part has a radial groove 3213 to be fitted to the radial protrusion 3313.
Of course, the first concave-convex portion and the second concave-convex portion may have other shapes and structures of concave-convex undulations, and are not limited to the above-described structure.
Since the cooling plate 320 and the tray 330 are not necessarily made of the same material, and they may have different thermal expansion coefficients, a certain gap (for example, a gap of 0.2 mm) needs to be left in the concavo-convex fit structure of the two, in order to compensate the effect of the reserved gap on the concavo-convex fit and the thermal conduction of the two components, so as to further improve the heat transfer between the tray 330 and the cooling plate 320, in an embodiment, referring to fig. 2 and 3, a heat conducting member 340 made of a heat conducting material is disposed between the cooling plate 320 and the tray 330, and the heat conducting member 340 is attached to the cooling plate 320 and the tray 330. The heat-conductive member 340 may be a plate shape so as to be better fitted with the tray 330 and the cooling plate 320. As an example, the heat conducting member 340 is an aluminum foil, and the heat transfer is accelerated by utilizing the characteristic that the heat conduction of metal is faster. Of course, the heat conducting member 340 may be made of other heat conducting materials capable of improving heat conducting efficiency.
The present invention has been described in terms of specific examples, which are provided to aid understanding of the invention and are not intended to be limiting. For a person skilled in the art to which the invention pertains, several simple deductions, modifications or substitutions may be made according to the idea of the invention.
