After the reaction gas is introduced into the gas passage, the flow rate of the reaction gas in the first through hole 511 can be changed by changing the relative position between the adjusting piece 52 and the corresponding first through hole 511; the reaction gas can be adjusted in real time according to the etching state of the wafer to be processed, so that the etching uniformity of the etched wafer to be processed is improved.
Specifically, the first air inlet 51 has a first groove, and the first through hole 511 is disposed at the bottom of the first groove. The reactant gas flow control device 5 further comprises a second gas inlet 53, the second gas inlet 53 is mounted on the first gas inlet 51, the second gas inlet 53 comprises at least one through first mounting hole 531a, each first mounting hole 531a is arranged opposite to one first through hole 511, and each adjusting member 52 is mounted in one first mounting hole 531 a; a first cavity a is formed between the first groove and the second air inlet 53 (the second air inlet 53 closes the upper end of the first groove), and the gas passage is formed by the first cavity a.
In this embodiment, the first air inlet 51 comprises a first cylindrical structure 512a having the first groove and a limiting ring 513a located at the top of the first cylindrical structure, the limiting ring 513a is connected with the first cylindrical structure 512a, the first cylindrical structure 512a is used for being installed in the opening 11 of the plasma processing apparatus, and the limiting ring 513a cannot pass through the opening 11.

In this embodiment, the adjusting member 52 includes a driving module 521 and an adjusting rod 522 connected to each other, and the driving module 521 is configured to drive the adjusting rod 522 to move toward or away from the corresponding first through hole 511, so as to change a relative position of the adjusting rod 522 and the corresponding first through hole 511, thereby adjusting a flow rate of the reaction gas at the corresponding first through hole 511.
In one implementation, the end of the adjusting rod 522 may at least partially cover the first through hole 511 when approaching the first through hole 511, and the driving module 521 drives the adjusting rod 522 to move so that the end of the end approaches or moves away from the corresponding first through hole 511, for one of the first through holes 511, when the adjusting rod 522 approaches the first through hole 511, the first through hole 511 is in a minimum flow state, and when the adjusting rod 522 moves away from the first through hole 511, the first through hole 511 is in a maximum flow state, so as to adjust the flow rate of the reaction gas at the corresponding first through hole 511. That is, when the distal end of the adjustment rod 522 is close to the first through hole 511, the first through hole 511 is at least partially covered, the flow rate of the reaction gas in the first through hole 511 is changed, the flow rate is reduced, or the first through hole 511 is completely closed, and when the distal end of the adjustment rod 522 is far from the first through hole 511, the flow rate in the first through hole 511 is restored, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the gas flow rate. Specifically, for example, there are 10 first through holes 511 and adjusting rods 522 corresponding thereto, and 5 of the adjusting rods 522 are driven to make 5 of the first through holes 511 corresponding thereto in the minimum flow state to reduce the flow rate of the reaction gas, and in order to further reduce the flow rate of the reaction gas, more adjusting rods 522 may be driven, for example, 8 of the adjusting rods 522 are driven to make the first through holes 511 corresponding thereto in the minimum flow state; here, the number of the first through holes 511 is merely an example, and the number is not particularly limited.
In another implementation manner, the end of the adjusting rod 522 has an adjusting section that can be inserted into the first through hole 511, and the driving module 521 drives the adjusting rod 522 to move so that the adjusting section is inserted into or away from the corresponding first through hole 511, so as to adjust the flow rate of the reaction gas at the corresponding first through hole 511. That is, the end of the adjusting rod 522 is inserted into or away from the first through hole 511, so that the first through hole 511 is in a closed state or an open state, thereby achieving the purpose of adjusting the gas flow.

That is, by making the cross-sections of different areas coplanar with the gas inflow end of the first through-hole 511, the first through-hole 511 can have different flow areas, thereby achieving the purpose of gas flow rate adjustment. Further, for one of the first through holes 511, as the adjusting rod 522 is gradually inserted into the first through hole 511, the flow rate of the reaction gas at the first through hole 511 is gradually reduced, so that the fine adjustment of the flow rate of the reaction gas at the first through hole 511 can be realized. The specific adjustment manner may be similar to the foregoing one, and is not described herein again. Optionally, other implementation manners may also be adopted for the specific adjustment manner, for example: all the adjusting rods 522 are operated, and the flow rate is adjusted by simultaneously adjusting the size of the area of the adjusting section of each adjusting rod 522 coplanar with the first through hole 511.
The driving device 521 can be an air cylinder, an electromagnetic valve, a piezoelectric actuator, a stepping motor, etc., and can be selected according to actual needs.
Preferably, the number of the adjusting members 52 is plural, so that each of the adjusting members 52 can synchronously or asynchronously adjust the relative position with respect to the corresponding first through hole 511 at any time, thereby adjusting the flow distribution of the reaction gas at the first through hole 511. Specifically, during the etching process, synchronous adjustment or asynchronous adjustment can be selected according to the etching condition of the wafer to be processed. When the etching conditions of different positions of the wafer to be processed are not consistent, the relative positions of different adjusting pieces 52 and the corresponding first through holes 511 can be made different through asynchronous adjustment, so that the flow rates of the reaction gases at the first through holes 511 at different positions are different, that is, the flow rates of the reaction gases introduced into the reaction cavity are distributed differently, and the etching uniformity is improved.
The first air inlet 51 and the second air inlet 52 may be sealed by a sealing member, and the second air inlet 52 and the adjusting rod 522 may be sealed by a sealing member.

The reaction gas flow rate control device of claim 12, wherein the area of the cross-section of the regulating section is gradually decreased in a direction toward the first through-hole, and the driving module drives the regulating rod to move such that the cross-sections of different areas in the regulating section are coplanar with the gas inflow end of the first through-hole to regulate the flow rate of the reaction gas at the corresponding first through-hole.
14. The reaction gas flow rate control device according to claim 1, wherein the regulating members are provided in plural numbers, and each of the regulating members is capable of synchronously or asynchronously regulating a relative position to the corresponding first through hole at any one time, thereby regulating the flow rate distribution of the reaction gas at the first through hole.
15. A plasma processing apparatus, comprising: a reaction chamber having an opening in the top and/or side walls thereof, said opening being provided with a reactant gas flow control device according to any one of claims 1 to 14.
