Description

  The present invention relates to an inductively coupled plasma processing apparatus that can be used for substrate surface treatment and the like.

  An inductively coupled plasma processing apparatus is used to form a thin film on the substrate surface or to perform an etching process on the substrate surface. In an inductively coupled plasma processing apparatus, a plasma generation gas such as hydrogen is introduced into a vacuum vessel and an induction electromagnetic field is generated to decompose the plasma generation gas and generate plasma. In addition to the plasma generating gas, a film forming source gas or an etching gas is introduced into the vacuum vessel, and the molecules of the film forming source gas are decomposed by the plasma and deposited on the substrate, or the molecules of the etching gas are decomposed. Ions and radicals used for etching.

  In Patent Document 1, a high-frequency antenna for generating an induction electromagnetic field is placed on the ceiling of a vacuum vessel, and a dielectric for allowing the induction electromagnetic field to pass through a portion of the ceiling directly below the high-frequency antenna. An external antenna type plasma processing apparatus having a made window is described. In the external antenna system, if the plasma processing apparatus is enlarged in response to the recent increase in the size of the substrate to be processed, the dielectric window needs to be thickened to maintain the mechanical strength. The strength of the induction electromagnetic field introduced into the is reduced. Therefore, an internal antenna type in which a high frequency antenna is provided inside a vacuum vessel is used (see Patent Documents 2 and 3).

  Further, in the invention described in Patent Document 3, a high-frequency antenna (corresponding to a coil having a number of turns of less than 1) such as a U-shape or a semicircular shape is used in which a linear conductor does not circulate. Thereby, since the inductance of the high frequency antenna can be lowered, the voltage of the high frequency antenna can be suppressed when the high frequency power is applied, and as a result, the substrate to be processed can be prevented from being damaged by the plasma.

Japanese Unexamined Patent Publication No. 08-227878 ([0010], FIG. 5) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 11-317299 ([0044]-[0046], FIG. 1-2) Japanese Patent Laid-Open No. 2001-035697 ([0050]-[0051], FIG. 11)

  In the internal antenna method, a DC self-bias voltage is generated between the conductor of the high-frequency antenna and the plasma, and ions in the plasma are accelerated by this DC self-bias voltage and incident on the antenna conductor. As a result, the high-frequency antenna conductor itself is sputtered and its life is shortened, and atoms and ions of the sputtered conductor are mixed into the plasma and adhere to the surface of the substrate to be processed and the inner wall of the vacuum container. There arises a problem that the substrate to be etched is mixed as an impurity. Further, in the internal antenna system, the temperature of the high-frequency antenna conductor is increased by arranging the conductor of the high-frequency antenna in the plasma. When the temperature of the high-frequency antenna conductor changes, the impedance of the high-frequency antenna changes, and stable power cannot be supplied to the plasma. Therefore, in the invention described in Patent Document 2, the high frequency antenna is covered with a dielectric (insulator) pipe made of ceramic, quartz, or the like, which is harder to be sputtered than copper, aluminum, or the like, which is a conductor of the high frequency antenna. The cooling water is allowed to flow into the tank. However, in such a configuration, it is necessary to provide both an electrical connection part for supplying high-frequency power and a connection part for supplying / draining cooling water at the ends of the antenna conductor and the dielectric pipe. The structure becomes complicated, which hinders the installation and removal of antennas and maintenance.

  In addition, since the high-frequency antenna is provided in the vacuum chamber (plasma processing chamber), thin film materials during deposition and by-products during etching adhere to the surface of the high-frequency antenna (or surrounding dielectric pipe). May end up. Such a deposit falls on the surface of the substrate and causes particles to be generated.

  The problem to be solved by the present invention is to provide a plasma processing apparatus that can form a strong induction electromagnetic field in a vacuum vessel and can prevent sputtering of an antenna conductor, temperature rise, and generation of particles. It is.

A first aspect of the plasma processing apparatus according to the present invention, which has been made to solve the above problems,

b) An antenna arrangement portion which is a cavity formed by providing a hole from the inner surface without penetrating the wall between the inner surface and the outer surface of the wall of the vacuum vessel;
c) an inductively coupled high-frequency antenna arranged in the antenna arrangement unit;
d) a dielectric partition material that partitions the antenna arrangement portion and the inside of the vacuum vessel;
It is characterized by providing.

  In the plasma processing apparatus according to the present invention, the high frequency antenna is arranged in the antenna arrangement portion provided between the inner surface and the outer surface of the wall of the vacuum vessel, so that a stronger induction electromagnetic field is generated in the vacuum vessel than in the case of the external antenna method. Can be generated.

  In addition, since the high frequency antenna and the inside of the vacuum vessel are partitioned by a dielectric partition material, it is possible to prevent generation of particles and sputtering of the high frequency antenna. Moreover, it can suppress that the temperature of a high frequency antenna rises.

  As the partition member, a dielectric member different from the wall of the vacuum vessel can be used. Moreover, when the wall of the vacuum vessel is made of a dielectric, a part of the wall can be used as a partitioning material.

  A sealed one can be used for the cavity. Thereby, the penetration | invasion of the foreign material into a cavity can be prevented. Further, if the sealed cavity is vacuum or filled with an inert gas, unnecessary discharge can be prevented from occurring in the cavity.

  The cavity may be filled with a solid dielectric. Thereby, it is possible to prevent unnecessary discharge from occurring in the cavity. In this case, it is not necessary to seal the inside of the cavity.

  The plasma processing apparatus according to the present invention can include a plurality of antenna arrangement portions. Thereby, the uniformity of the density of the plasma formed in the vacuum vessel can be enhanced.

A second aspect of the plasma processing apparatus according to the present invention is as follows.
a) a vacuum vessel having walls made of at least a part of a solid dielectric member;
b) a high frequency antenna formed by a conductive tube embedded in the dielectric member;
It is characterized by providing.

  According to the plasma processing apparatus of the present invention, a strong induction electromagnetic field can be formed in the vacuum vessel, and sputtering of the antenna conductor, temperature rise, and generation of particles can be prevented.

  An embodiment of the plasma processing apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIGS.

  FIG. 1A is a longitudinal sectional view of the plasma processing apparatus 10 of the first embodiment. The plasma processing apparatus 10 includes a vacuum vessel 11, a substrate holding unit 12 disposed in the internal space 112 of the vacuum vessel, a gas discharge port 13 and a gas introduction port 14 provided on the side wall of the vacuum vessel 11, and the vacuum vessel 11. A cavity (antenna placement portion) 113 provided between the outer surface 111A and the inner surface 111B of the upper wall 111, a partition member (partition plate) 16 that partitions the cavity 113 and the internal space 112 of the vacuum vessel, and a cavity from the outer surface 111A side And a high frequency antenna unit 20 attached to 113.

  The partition material 16 is made of a dielectric, and oxide, nitride, carbide, fluoride, or the like can be used as the material thereof. Among these materials, quartz, alumina, zirconia, yttria, silicon nitride, or silicon carbide can be suitably used.

  A step 111 </ b> C protruding inward is formed at the lower end of the inner peripheral surface of the cavity 113, and is attached on the step 111 </ b> C so that the outer peripheral edge of the partition member 16 is placed thereon. Further, a convex portion is provided on the lower surface of the lid 23 so as to be fitted into the cavity 113 from the outside of the vacuum vessel 11.

  The gas discharge port 13 is connected to a vacuum pump, and air, water vapor, and the like in the internal space 112 of the vacuum vessel are discharged from the gas discharge port 13 by the vacuum pump, so that the internal space 112 of the vacuum vessel is brought into a high vacuum state. Is done. The gas inlet 14 is for introducing a plasma generation gas such as hydrogen gas or a film forming raw material gas into the internal space 112 of the vacuum vessel. The substrate S held by the substrate holding part 12 is carried into the internal space 112 of the vacuum vessel from the substrate carry-in / out port 15 provided on the side wall of the vacuum vessel 11, or is carried out from the internal space of the vacuum vessel. The substrate carry-in / out port 15 is airtightly closed except when the substrate S is carried in / out.

  Next, the high frequency antenna unit 20 will be described. FIG. 1B is a longitudinal sectional view of the cavity 113 and its surroundings including the high-frequency antenna unit 20. The high-frequency antenna unit 20 includes a metal (for example, stainless steel) lid 23 and a high-frequency antenna 21 provided to close the cavity 113 from the outside of the vacuum vessel 11.

  The high frequency antenna 21 is disposed in the cavity 113, and both ends are attached to the lid 23 via the feedthrough 24. Since the high-frequency antenna 21 is thus attached to the lid 23, the high-frequency antenna 21 can be easily detached from the plasma processing apparatus by attaching and detaching the lid 23. The high frequency antenna 21 is formed of a conductive pipe, and a coolant such as cooling water can flow through the pipe. One end of the high-frequency antenna 21 is connected to a high-frequency power source, and the other end is grounded.

  Next, the shape of the high frequency antenna 21 will be described. As shown in FIG. 2, the high-frequency antenna 21 includes two U-shaped pipes, a first U-shaped portion 212 </ b> A and a second U-shaped portion 212 </ b> B that are arranged in parallel to the partition member 16 with both ends facing each other. The one end 212A1 of the first U-shaped portion 212A and the one end 212B1 of the second U-shaped portion 212B are connected by a linear connecting portion 212C. The other end 212A2 of the first U-shaped portion 212A and the other end 212B2 of the second U-shaped portion 212B are bent upward and attached to the lid 23.

  The lid 23 is provided with a cavity exhaust port 25 for exhausting the inside of the cavity 113 to make a vacuum. Further, the space between the high-frequency antenna 21 and the feedthrough 24, the space between the feedthrough 24 and the lid 23, the space between the lid 23 and the upper wall 111, and the space between the partition member 16 and the upper wall 111 are sealed with a vacuum seal. The cavity 113 is maintained in a high vacuum state by the cavity exhaust port 25 and the vacuum seal.

  Next, an example of a configuration for connecting the high-frequency antenna 21 and the high-frequency power source will be described with reference to FIG. FIG. 3 is a top view of the plasma processing apparatus 10 of the present embodiment. In the present embodiment, a total of eight high-frequency antennas 21 housed one by one in eight cavities 113 are used. These eight high-frequency antennas 21 are divided into two groups of four, and one high-frequency power source is connected to each group. Four feeding rods 32 extending in four directions from the feeding point 31 are connected to the feeding-side end portion 211 of each high-frequency antenna 21, and a high-frequency power source is connected to the feeding point 31.

  The operation of the plasma processing apparatus 10 of the present embodiment will be described by taking as an example the case where a film-forming substance is deposited on the substrate S. First, the substrate S is carried into the internal space 112 of the vacuum container from the substrate carry-in / out port 15 and placed on the substrate holding part 12. Next, the substrate carry-in / out port 15 is closed, and the air, water vapor, and the like in the internal space 112 of the vacuum vessel are discharged from the gas discharge port 13 using the vacuum pump, and the air, water vapor, and the like in the cavity 113 are discharged from the cavity exhaust port. By evacuating from 25, the internal space 112 and the cavity 113 of the vacuum vessel are evacuated. Subsequently, a plasma generating gas and a film forming source gas are introduced from the gas inlet 14. Then, high-frequency power is supplied to the high-frequency antenna 21 while flowing a refrigerant through the pipe of the high-frequency antenna 21. An induction electromagnetic field is generated around the high-frequency antenna 21 by applying the high-frequency power. The induction electromagnetic field passes through the dielectric partitioning material 16 and is introduced into the internal space 112 of the vacuum vessel, and ionizes the plasma generating gas. Thereby, plasma is generated. The film forming source gas introduced into the internal space 112 of the vacuum vessel together with the plasma generating gas is decomposed by the plasma and deposited on the substrate S.

  In the plasma processing apparatus 10 of the present embodiment, since the high frequency antenna 21 is disposed in the cavity 113 provided between the outer surface 111A and the inner surface 111B of the upper wall 111 of the vacuum vessel, an induction electromagnetic field stronger than that in the case of the external antenna method is generated. It can be generated in the internal space 112 of the vacuum vessel 11. Further, since the cavity 113 in which the high-frequency antenna 21 is disposed and the internal space 112 of the vacuum vessel in which plasma is generated are separated by the partition material 16, the plasma etches the high-frequency antenna 21 and shortens the life of the high-frequency antenna 21. It is possible to prevent the material of the high-frequency antenna 21 from being mixed into the thin film or the substrate to be processed as impurities and the generation of particles. Furthermore, since the cavity 113 in which the high-frequency antenna 21 is arranged is kept in a high vacuum state, it is possible to prevent unnecessary discharge from occurring in the cavity 113.

  In the present embodiment, the magnetic field formed by the current flowing from one end 212A1 toward the bottom of the U-shape in the first U-shaped portion 212A of the high-frequency antenna 21 and the bottom of the U-shape toward the other end 212A2. The magnetic field formed by the flowing current has a vertical component that vibrates in the same phase. A magnetic field having the same vertical component is formed also in the second U-shaped portion 212B. As a result, the vertical component of the magnetic field below the antenna can be made larger than when a single linear high-frequency antenna is used. Therefore, compared with the case of using a single linear high-frequency antenna, the plasma density can be increased when the strength of the high-frequency power and the pressure of the plasma generation gas are the same, or the plasma can be generated at the same density. In the case of obtaining it, the strength of the high frequency power and the pressure of the plasma generation gas can be further reduced.

  Next, Modification 1 of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In this modification, there is no step 111C of the upper wall 111, and the partition member 16A is provided so as to cover the cavity 113 from the internal space 112 side of the vacuum vessel. Thereby, the cavity 113 can be expanded to the internal space 112 side of the vacuum vessel, and the position of the high frequency antenna 21 can be brought close to the internal space 112 of the vacuum vessel. Other configurations are the same as those in the above embodiment.

  Next, a second modification of the first embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In this modification, a cavity 113 </ b> A is formed by providing a hole from the lower surface of the upper wall 111 without penetrating the upper wall 111. Therefore, a part of the upper wall 111 remains on the cavity 113A. The high-frequency antenna 21 is attached to the portion where the upper wall 111 is left via a feedthrough, and the cavity vacuum exhaust port 25C is attached. The configuration of the partition member 16A is the same as that of the first modification.

  Next, the plasma processing apparatus of the second embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, instead of the cavity exhaust port 25 in the first embodiment, a cavity inert gas introduction port 25A and a cavity gas exhaust port 25B are provided in the lid 23 of the high frequency antenna unit 20A. An inert gas such as argon or nitrogen is introduced from the cavity inert gas inlet 25A, and the air or water vapor in the cavity 113 is replaced with an inert gas and discharged from the cavity gas outlet 25B. Fill with inert gas. Thereby, it is possible to prevent unnecessary discharge from occurring as in the case where the inside of the cavity 113 is evacuated. Other configurations are the same as those of the first embodiment.

Next, a plasma processing apparatus according to a third embodiment will be described with reference to FIG. In this embodiment, the cavity 113 is filled with the dielectric member 27. As the material of the dielectric member 27, polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), polyether ether ketone (PEEK) or other resins, alumina, silica or other ceramics can be used. The bottom of the dielectric member 27 serves as a partition member. The high frequency antenna 21 is U-shaped like the above embodiment, and is directly fixed to the lid 23 without using a feedthrough. By fixing the high frequency antenna 21 to the lid 23 in this way, when the lid 23 is attached to and detached from the vacuum vessel 11, the high frequency antenna 21 and the dielectric member 27 around the high frequency antenna 21 are also attached to the vacuum vessel 11. It is attached to and detached from. Therefore, in the present embodiment, it can be said that the high-frequency antenna 21, the lid 23, and the dielectric member 27 constitute one set of the high-frequency antenna unit 20B.
In the third embodiment, since the cavity 113 is filled with the dielectric member 27, it is possible to prevent unnecessary discharge from occurring in the vicinity of the high-frequency antenna 21.

  Instead of the dielectric member 27, a dielectric powder may be filled in the cavity 113. In this case, the cavity 113 is sealed so that the powder does not leak from the cavity 113.

  The example in which the high-frequency antenna 21 is disposed in the cavity 113 has been described so far. However, as illustrated in FIG. 8, the high-frequency antenna is disposed at a position between the outer surface 111A and the inner surface 111B (antenna placement portion 113B) without using the cavity. 21 can also be embedded. In this case, in order to electrically insulate the high-frequency antenna 21 and the upper wall 111 and prevent unnecessary discharge from occurring in the vicinity of the high-frequency antenna 21, a dielectric is interposed between them or the upper wall 111 itself Is made of a dielectric. In the latter case, the entire upper wall 111 may be made of a dielectric, but the cost can be reduced if only the vicinity of the high-frequency antenna 21 in the upper wall 111 is made of a dielectric. As the dielectric material, the same material as the above-described dielectric member 27 can be used. Moreover, the partition material 16B can be comprised by making the part between the high frequency antenna 21 and the internal space 112 of a vacuum vessel among the upper walls 111 from a dielectric material.

  FIG. 9 shows an example in which a high-frequency antenna having a shape different from that of the embodiment described so far is used. The high-frequency antenna 41 in this embodiment is one in which one conductive pipe is formed in a spiral shape on a plane parallel to the partition member 16 as shown in a top view in FIG. The other configuration is the same as that of the first embodiment. By forming the high-frequency antenna 41 in such a shape, a magnetic field can be formed over a wider range than when a linear or U-shaped high-frequency antenna is used.

  Up to this point, an example in which only one high-frequency antenna is provided in one antenna arrangement portion (cavity) has been shown, but two or more high-frequency antennas may be provided in one antenna arrangement portion. In the example shown in the top view in FIG. 10, two high-frequency antennas 21 in the first embodiment (first high-frequency antenna 21 </ b> A and second high-frequency antenna 21 </ b> B) are provided in the cavity 113. The first high frequency antenna 21A and the second high frequency antenna 21B are arranged such that the distance between the first U-shaped portion 212A and the second U-shaped portion 212B from the partitioning member 16 is the same, and the connecting portions 212C are parallel to each other. .

  A seventh embodiment of the plasma processing apparatus according to the present invention will be described with reference to FIG. The plasma processing apparatus of the present embodiment is obtained by placing a Faraday shield 51 on the partition material 16 (between the high frequency antenna 21) in the plasma processing apparatus 10 of the first embodiment. The Faraday shield 51 is electrically connected to the metal upper wall 111 and is grounded via the upper wall 111. The Faraday shield 51 can block the direct current electric field generated by the self-bias between the conductor of the high-frequency antenna 21 and the plasma, and can prevent the plasma generated in the internal space 112 from entering the partition member 16. The life of the material 16 can be extended. A dielectric insulating member 52 is interposed between the Faraday shield 51 and the high-frequency antenna 21 in order to prevent electric discharge between them.

  Further, the Faraday shield 51 has the entire lower surface in thermal contact with the partition member 16 and the end in thermal contact with the upper wall 111. Therefore, the heat of the partition member 16 that is heated by receiving the energy of the plasma is released to the upper wall 111 through the Faraday shield 51. Thereby, since the temperature rise of the partition material 16 is suppressed, degradation of the partition material 16 due to heat can be suppressed. In order to further enhance this effect, the Faraday shield 51 may be cooled by a refrigerant, or temperature rise suppression means such as a cooling pipe may be provided separately from the Faraday shield 51.

[Other examples]
In the above embodiments, the number of high-frequency antennas 21 is eight, but the number can be determined according to the capacity of the vacuum vessel. When the capacity of the vacuum vessel is relatively small, only one high-frequency antenna 21 may be provided. Moreover, in the said Example, although the high frequency antenna unit 20 was provided in the upper wall of the vacuum vessel, you may provide in walls other than an upper wall, such as a side wall.
