表面に各種被膜を形成する継型気相成長装置に関する。DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION [Technical Field] The present invention relates to a vapor phase growth apparatus, and particularly to a joint type vapor phase growth apparatus that performs epitaxial growth or deposition on a semiconductor substrate to form various films on the surface of the semiconductor substrate.

As described in ``Electronic Materials J, November 1978 issue, pp. 70-78 1. Epitaxial OVD Apparatus,'' a vertical vapor phase system in which a wafer placed on a heated susceptor is covered with a quartz belljar. There are known growth devices.

体として輻射熱の透過を図ることによってベルジャの低
温化を図っている。By the way, in such an apparatus, when the processing gas comes into contact with the inner wall of the bell jar which is in a high temperature state, thermal decomposition occurs and the released products are deposited on the inner wall of the bell jar. Conventionally, in order to lower the temperature of the bell jar, attempts were made to lower the temperature of the bell jar by installing a pipe through which cooling water flows around the outer periphery of the opaque bell jar, or by making the bell jar a transparent body to allow radiant heat to pass through. .
しかし、前記のような装置ではつぎのような問題が生じ
ることが本発明者によってあきらかとされた。However, the inventor has found that the following problem occurs in the above-mentioned apparatus.

て析出物除去を行なう必要も生じ、工数が増大する。{1} A vertical vapor phase growth device that cools the bell jar with water can make the device smaller, but since the bell jar is opaque, heat accumulates inside the bell jar, and the processing gas tends to thermally decompose on the inner wall of the bell jar. Reactants tend to precipitate on the inner wall of the bell jar. The precipitation of the reaction product on the bell jar causes the precipitate to peel off from the bell jar and adhere to the wafer, leading to abnormal growth of the film during film formation and causing a decrease in yield. Furthermore, in order to minimize the amount of deposits attached to the wafer, this apparatus requires frequent cleaning of the bell jar to remove deposits, which increases the number of steps.

要がある。(2) In a device in which the bell jar is a transparent body, heat passes through the bell jar, so that heat is not trapped in the inner wall of the bell jar, and it becomes difficult for reactants to be deposited in the bell jar due to thermal decomposition. However, this structure requires a mechanism for treating a large amount of heat leaking out of the bell jar, and has the disadvantage that the cover (furnace body) structure surrounding the bell jar becomes complicated and large. That is, in order to prevent the presence of the cover from interfering with heat radiation in the bell jar, the distance between the outer wall surface of the bell jar and the inner wall surface of the cover should be as large as possible, so the cover becomes large. Further, it is necessary to provide a cooling device on the cover to remove heat radiated from the bell jar.
本発明の目的は、反応生成物がベルジャの内壁に析出し
難い縦型気相成長装置を提供することにある。An object of the present invention is to provide a vertical vapor phase growth apparatus in which reaction products are less likely to be deposited on the inner wall of a bell jar.
また、本発明の他の目的は装置全体が小型となる。縦型

バー(炉体)の小型化を達成するものである。In other words, in the present invention, the processing gas (reactant gas) is thermally decomposed on the inner wall of the bell jar! By making it a translucent body that emits appropriate heat radiation so that the temperature is low enough to prevent the reaction from occurring, it is possible to prevent the reaction products from precipitating on the inner wall of the bell jar, and to reduce the amount of heat radiation emitted to the outside of the bell jar. By minimizing the amount, it is possible to downsize the cover (furnace body) that covers the bell jar housing and has a water cooling mechanism, etc.

The bell jar 3 is semi-transparent and has a structure that allows some of the radiant heat to pass through and reflects some of it on the inner wall surface of the bell jar 3.As will be described later, the inner wall surface of the bell jar 3 is not treated. The transparency is such that heat is radiated to a temperature that does not cause the gas 6 to thermally decompose.

During heat treatment, forced exhaust is used to create a desired atmosphere in the reaction chamber 4, for example, an atmosphere of 3iH4+H in the case of epitaxial growth of silicon using monosilane.

A silicon substrate (wafer) 11, which is an object to be processed, is placed on the susceptor 10. Also, susceptor 1

放射される。Note that the reaction vessel 5 is surrounded by a cover (furnace body) 13. Although this cover 13 is not particularly shown, it has a cooling mechanism that cools the cover 13'Y with cooling water, and is designed to cool the radiant heat that has passed through the bell jar 3. ``Such an apparatus injects SiH4 and H into the reaction chamber 4 from the nozzle 7, and then grows an epitaxial layer made of silicon on the surface of the wafer 11. During this heat treatment, since the bell jar 3 is semi-transparent, some of the radiant heat is reflected by the inner wall surface of the bell jar 3.
A portion of the radiation returns to the inside, passes through the haherjar 3'(11'), and is emitted to the outside.

The temperature is not high enough to thermally decompose 4, and the precipitation of silicon on the bell jar wall surface as a result of the high bell jar temperature does not occur.

の反応生成物の析出は生じ難くなる。(1) The present invention uses a belljar as a translucent body to radiate a part of the radiant heat emitted from the reaction chamber to the outside of the belljar, and to raise the belljar temperature to a temperature that does not cause thermal decomposition of the processing gas near the inner wall of the belljar. As a result of this maintenance, precipitation of reaction products on the inner wall of the bell jar becomes less likely to occur.

The effect that can be obtained by manufacturing is obtained.

As a result, the cover covering the bell jar no longer needs to be pulled far away from the bell jar as in conventional equipment.
If j<, the effect of reducing the size of the cover, or in other words, reducing the size of the entire vertical vapor growth apparatus can be obtained.

奏する。Although the invention made by the present inventor has been specifically explained above based on the examples, the present invention is not limited to the above-mentioned examples. Needless to say, it's 1f. For example, as shown in Fig. 2, the upper part (ceiling part) of the bell jar 3 is made of a transparent material with higher thermal emissivity, and the other parts are made of semi-transparent material, so that the temperature of the bell jar 3 in the ceiling part decreases, causing reaction generation. Vc can be further ensured to prevent the adhesion of substances. Furthermore, in this structure, since the ceiling part is transparent, it also functions as a viewing window for observing the inside of the bell jar.

tt図るようにしてもよい。Furthermore, as shown in FIG. 3, by making the lower part of the semitransparent belljar 3, that is, the belljar portion surrounding the heater 12 and the susceptor 10, an opaque body 14, the thermal emissivity in the lower part of the belljar 3 can be extremely reduced. It is also possible to increase the reflection of radiant heat on the inner wall surface of the bell jar 3 to prevent heat from escaping, thereby making effective use of heat, or in other words, saving energy.
