Description
本発明の製造システムには工完短縮の効果もある。生産性の向上による短縮効果の他に、パイプライン処理による短縮効果がある。パイプライン処理は複数の被処理物の組に複数の処理を施すのに適した処理方法である。本発明の製造システムのパイプライン処理は、継続する複数の処理の他にその間の搬送も含めたパイプライン処理である。搬送に処理の丁度L倍の時間を割り付けた、処理と搬送を融合させたパイプライン処理である。複数の被処理物に対する処理、搬送を単位とするパイプライン処理でも有効であるが、M=1、すなわち被処理物1個を1組として扱う場合が最も効果が大きい。前述したように半導体工業における被処理物である半導体ウェハの数は極めて多数であり、半導体ウェハに対する処理は多種にわたり、処理の回数も極めて多いので、被処理物の組の数が増え、処理が増えるほどパイプライン処理化することによる工完短縮の効果は大きい。L=1の場合が最も優れていることは言うまでもない。
図1乃至図12及び表1乃至表3を用いて説明する。図1は本発明の製造システムの一実施例を示す図である。本実施例の製造システムは素子が形成されコンタクト孔が開口された半導体ウェハに配線を形成するための製造システムである。本実施例はこの製造システムを用いて半導体ウェハに1層の配線層とパッシベーションのための保護膜層を形成した実施例である。
図1、図2、図7、図9、図11、図13乃至図20を用いて説明する。本実施例は本発明をシリコンのメモリーLSIを製造する製造システムおよび製造方法に適用した実施例であり、2層金属配線を有する相補型MOS LSIの配線工程に係る一連の処理をウェハに施す製造システムおよび製造方法である。
図21乃至図22、表5を用いて説明する。本実施例は本発明をシリコンのメモリーLSIを製造するための製造システムおよび製造方法に適用した実施例であり、2層金属配線を有する相補型MOSLSIの配線工程に係る一連の処理をウェハに施す製造システムおよび製造方法である。
本実施例の製造システムによれば、従来の製造システムに比較して格段に工完が短縮されることがわかる。本実施例の製造システムで3分/枚の処理時間に統一されている場合が最も優れていて、全てのウェハがほとんど処理待ちなしで処理されている。一部5分/枚の処理を混用しても大きな工完の長期化はもたらされない。これと比較して、従来のバッチ処理による製造システムを用いた場合には、工完の平均値も長く、またその分布も大きい。
図19、図23を用いて説明する。本実施例は本発明をシリコンの論理LSIを製造するための製造システムおよび製造方法に適用した実施例である。製造する論理LSIは2層金属配線を有する相補型MOSLSIである。
本実施例の製造システムでは、高い清浄度を必要とする洗浄処理、ウェットエッチング処理をウェハに施す処理装置は全て中央の局所的な超清浄空間406に収められている。このような配置は、超清浄空間406に高い清浄度を要求する処理装置が集約されることで清浄度の維持、管理が容易となる利点がある。本実施例の装置の処理装置はいずれも共用化の度合いが高いので、例えばリソグラフィー処理装置401を中央に配して搬送装置への負担を低減するよりも清浄度維持の容易さを優先させて図23の配置とした。
図24乃至図25を用いて説明する。本実施例は本発明をシリコンの論理LSIを製造するための製造装置および製造方法に適用した実施例である。製造する論理LSIは2層金属配線を有する相補型MOSLSIである。
図27乃至図39及び表6乃至表8を用いて説明する。図27は本発明の製造システムの一実施例を示す図である。本実施例の製造システムは素子が形成されコンタクト孔が開口された半導体ウェハに配線を形成するための製造システムである。本実施例はこの製造システムを用いて半導体ウェハに1層の配線層とパッシベーションのための保護膜層を形成した実施例である。
る。処理時の圧力は0.6Pa、処理時間は30秒である。防食処理を終えたウェハ1は搬送機構606−11によって搬送機構606−3を経て防食処理室606−5からアッシャー室606−6に移動する。アッシャー室606−6では酸素プラズマによってレジストがアッシング除去される。処理時の圧力は50Pa、処理時間は30秒である。レジストを除去された半導体ウェハ1は、搬送機構606−11によって搬送室606−3を経て0.65Paの予備室2 606−7に移動する。ウェハ1が移動した後、予備室2 606−7は大気圧の高純度窒素で満たされる。その後、半導体ウェハ1は搬送機構606−12によって高純度窒素が満たされた払い出し室606−8に運ばれ、搬送機構606−13による搬送を待つ。処理の開始から搬送可能となるまでの所要時間は5分であり、1分間搬送を待つ。
表8は処理装置間搬送装置の3つの部分、AからB、BからC、CからDへの搬送を行う部分が、時刻T0から時刻T0+13Tまでの各T分間に搬送する半導体ウェハをまとめた図である。
