Abstract

PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To prevent gas discharged from an adsorption face from reaching the surface of a treated base material by first introducing external air into a vacuum vessel in a vacuum state after treatment of the treated base material has terminated in the vacuum vessel maintained in a vacuum state, then discharging the condensed and captured external air on the adsorption face of a cryo- pump. SOLUTION: The inside of a vacuum vessel 10 storing a wafer W is evacuated, then an adsorption face 11a of a cryo-pump 11 is cooled, a gas A in the vacuum vessel 10 is condensed and captured on the adsorption face 11a, whereby the inside of the vacuum vessel 10 is maintained in vacuum state. After filming process is performed on the surface of the wafer W in the vacuum vessel 10 in vacuum state, an external air B is introduced into the vacuum vessel 10. By increasing the temperature of the cooled adsorption face 11a, the gas A is discharged from the adsorption 11a into the vacuum vessel 10 so that this gas A is discharged into the external air B. Thereby, the air A hardly reaches the filming surface of the wafer W.

A vacuum processing apparatus equipped with the above cryopump is driven, for example, as follows. First, after the wafer to be processed is stored in the vacuum chamber of the vacuum processing apparatus, the inside of the vacuum chamber is pre-evacuated using a roughing pump such as a rotary pump. Next, the adsorption surface of the cryopump provided in the pump chamber communicating with the inside of the vacuum chamber is cooled, and the gas remaining in the vacuum chamber is condensed and captured by the adsorption surface. At this time, water vapor is first captured, and then gas molecules having a low vapor pressure are sequentially captured. Thereby, the internal pressure of the vacuum chamber is lowered to a predetermined value suitable for processing the wafer surface, and then the wafer surface is processed in the vacuum chamber. Then, after this process is completed, the temperature of the adsorption surface of the cryopump is raised to discharge the gas from the adsorption surface into the vacuum chamber. Then, an external gas is introduced into the vacuum chamber to return the inside of the vacuum chamber to atmospheric pressure, and then the processed wafer is taken out from the vacuum chamber.

However, in the above method of driving the vacuum processing apparatus, after the wafer processing is completed,
First, since the gas is released from the adsorption surface of the cryopump into the vacuum chamber in a vacuum state, the gas released from the adsorption surface easily enters the processing surface of the wafer. However, this gas also contains water vapor, and in addition to water molecules, the water vapor may adsorb pollutants or other substances attached to the adsorption surface. Therefore, when such water vapor enters the processed surface of the wafer, the contaminants are trapped on the processed surface together with the water vapor.
Then, the water vapor that has adsorbed such contaminants may penetrate into the film on the treated surface and leave stain-like stains that can be confirmed by visual inspection. When a film is formed, this stain contributes to a decrease in yield.

Thereafter, in the step shown in FIG. 1B, the adsorption surface 11a of the cryopump 11 is cooled so that the gas A remaining in the vacuum chamber 10 is condensed and captured by the adsorption surface 11a. Here, the suction surface 11a is cooled to a temperature sufficient to reduce the internal pressure of the vacuum chamber 10 to the vacuum state required for processing the surface of the wafer W. As a result, first, the water vapor is captured on the adsorption surface 11a, and then the gas molecules are captured on the adsorption surface 11a in order of increasing vapor pressure. As described above, after the internal pressure of the vacuum chamber 10 is reduced to a predetermined value, in the next step, a process of forming a film on the surface of the wafer W in the vacuum chamber 10 is performed. The steps up to this point are performed in the same manner as in the conventional case, and the following steps are the steps characteristic of the present invention.

That is, in the step shown in FIG. 1 (3), after the processing of the wafer surface in the vacuum chamber 10 is completed as described above, the leak valve 13 provided in the vacuum chamber 10 kept in a vacuum state. And a gas (hereinafter, referred to as outside air) B outside the vacuum processing apparatus 1 is introduced into the vacuum chamber 10.

Next, in the step shown in FIG. 1 (4), immediately after the internal pressure of the vacuum chamber 10 is recovered as described above in the step described with reference to FIG. 1 (3), it is cooled to a predetermined temperature. The temperature of the adsorbed surface 11a is raised to room temperature. As a result, the gas A condensed and trapped on the adsorption surface 11a is released into the vacuum chamber 10. And the suction surface 11a
After the temperature reaches the normal temperature and the internal pressure of the vacuum chamber 10 is completely restored to the atmospheric pressure, the wafer W processed in the vacuum chamber 10 is taken out from the vacuum chamber 10.

According to the driving method of the vacuum processing apparatus described above, after the outside air B is introduced into the vacuum chamber 10 kept in a vacuum state, the gas A is released from the adsorption surface 11a of the cryopump 11, The gas A condensed and trapped on the adsorption surface 11a is released into the outside air B introduced from the outside. Therefore, it is difficult for the gas A released from the suction surface 11a to reach the surface of the wafer W housed in the vacuum chamber 10 by being blocked by the outside air B. Further, before the gas is released from the adsorption surface 11a of the cryopump 11, the internal pressure of the vacuum chamber 10 rises by introducing the outside air B, so that the gas A is less likely to be released from the adsorption surface 11a.

From the above, the surface of the wafer W is prevented from being contaminated by the water vapor of the gas A released from the adsorption surface 11a and the contaminants adsorbed by the water vapor. Therefore, when the film forming process is performed on the surface of the wafer W by driving the vacuum processing apparatus as described above, the clean state of the film forming surface is secured. In addition, it is possible to prevent contaminants from permeating into the film together with water vapor, and when an optical film is formed on the surface of the wafer W, it is possible to prevent a decrease in yield due to the formation of the stain.

In the driving method, the internal pressure of the vacuum chamber 10 is high because the internal pressure of the vacuum chamber 10 is raised to some extent by the introduction of the outside air B and then the gas A is released from the adsorption surface 11a of the cryopump 11. There is a risk of becoming. Therefore, a safety valve is provided in the vacuum chamber 10
Make sure the internal pressure of does not rise above atmospheric pressure. Further, in the above driving method, even if the temperature of the adsorption surface 11a is raised to room temperature, the amount of the gas A condensed and captured by the adsorption surface 11a without being released from the adsorption surface 11a may increase. Conceivable. Therefore, after taking out the wafer W from the vacuum chamber 10, the step of removing the residue of the gas A condensed and trapped on the adsorption surface 11a is carefully performed as necessary.
