Abstract

PURPOSE:To remarkability decrease foreign matter in films so as to improve film quality and product yield by making a side sputtering or sputtering up system possible. CONSTITUTION:A substrate plate 4b is moved to a position where this place faces a target 16 from a horizontal position by a substrate electrode driving mechanism 13. Setting and taking out of the substrate 4a are executable in a horizontal state; in addition, the substrate is positioned to nearly a perpendicular state at the time of film formation and, therefore, the intrusion of the foreign matter into the film at the time of film formation is remarkability lessened. Further, the target 16 is freely changeable in the distance from the substrate 4a by parallel movement and the establishment of process conditions is easily executed.

Therefore, it is generally known that the so-called sputter-up method, in which the film-forming surface of the substrate faces downward and the target particles are scattered upward from below, is advantageous for reducing foreign matter in the film. However, in order to easily set the substrate, a so-called sputter down method is often used in which the film-forming surface of the substrate faces upward and target particles are scattered downward from above to form a film. Further, also in the side sputtering in which the substrate and the target are vertically formed, the substrate is set while the substrate electrode is in the vertical state.

Further, in addition to the room for loading and unloading the substrate, a room is separately provided for each function and the substrate is moved between the rooms without opening the film forming chamber to the atmosphere each time the substrate is loaded or unloaded. In most cases, the in-line type sputtering apparatus adopts the sputter-up method or the side-sputtering method by providing a function and continuing the processing while always keeping the film forming chamber at a high vacuum. In this case, the attitude at the time of film formation is determined when the film is set on the substrate transfer jig.

Further, a robot for transporting the substrate is provided with a plurality of processing chambers around a transport chamber housed therein, and the substrate is moved in each of the processing chambers by the robot and each substrate including film formation is moved. In the single-wafer multi-chamber sputtering system that receives the processing, due to the restrictions of the robot substrate transfer method, the backside of the substrate is contacted and transferred, so the film formation surface of the substrate faces upward. I had no choice.

On the other hand, Japanese Patent Application Laid-Open No. 2-85364 proposes a side-sputtering method in which a substrate being conveyed in a horizontal state is erected in a vacuum chamber before film formation. It has not been taken into consideration in the case of raising the substrate alone, the case of forming the film while heating the substrate, the case of requiring the film formation while applying a bias potential to the substrate, or the case of a plurality of substrates. Further, as is clear from the structure, the rotation of the substrate was limited to the vertical state from the horizontal state.

In the film forming apparatus, the posture of the substrate during film formation is important. That is, not only the intended material is deposited during film formation, but also other materials, especially materials for components inside the vacuum chamber may be mixed into the film. In addition, even if the material is a target material and it is deposited as a lump of a certain amount or more, this is called a foreign substance. This is because it is easier for the substrate to adhere when the substrate is facing upward, and it is desirable that the film-forming surface is facing downward as much as possible. However, in a sputtering-up type apparatus, it is difficult for an operator to mount the substrate upward, for example. Also, in a single-wafer multi-chamber sputtering device, etc., the back surface of the substrate is held in order to transfer the substrate by a robot in a vacuum. I have no choice but to.

In the above prior art, consideration has not been given to the point that both the side sputtering or the sputter-up method is satisfied for the ease of setting the substrate and the reduction of foreign matter during film formation on the substrate. In particular, when a film is formed while heating or cooling the substrate and further when a film is formed while applying a bias potential, the attitude at the time of film formation is the same as the attitude at the time of setting the substrate.

The purpose of this is to provide a sputtering apparatus.This is also applicable to a single-wafer multi-chamber sputtering apparatus, in which the horizontal transfer of the substrate and the sputtering down method have to be adopted due to the restriction of the substrate transfer robot.

In order to achieve the above object, the structure is such that the substrate electrode for holding the substrate can be moved while being held in a state of being insulated from the ground potential, and the substrate electrode is at a predetermined position. Thus, for example, a rotating mechanism is provided for rotating the substrate 90 degrees to make it vertical, or rotating it 180 degrees to completely change the orientation of the substrate. In addition, in order to move the substrate electrode together, the structure is such that electrical and cooling water can be automatically connected so that the substrate can be heated, cooled, or a bias can be applied during film formation.

Further, since the substrate is rotated while being held by the substrate electrode, a mechanism for holding the periphery thereof by about 1 to 2 mm is provided to prevent the substrate from falling. This mechanism has a structure in which the holding mechanism can be moved when the substrate is transferred by a robot in a vacuum, for example.

In the present invention, by rotating the substrate electrode after the substrate is set or the substrate electrode after receiving the substrate by the transfer robot, side sputtering or sputtering up can be performed, so that it is dramatically improved as compared with the conventional apparatus.
