디퓨젼 플랜지 및 이의 제조방법{Diffusion flange and method for thereof}Diffusion flange and method for manufacturing the same

본 발명은 플랜지 및 이의 제조방법에 관한 것으로, 더욱 상세하게는 반도체 소자 제조에 사용되는 확산로의 300mm 플랜지에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a flange and a method of manufacturing the same, and more particularly to a 300mm flange of the diffusion furnace used in the manufacture of semiconductor devices.

일반적으로 반도체 소자는 반도체 기판인 웨이퍼상에 사진, 식각, 확산, 이온주입, 금속증착 등의 공정을 선택적이고도 반복적으로 수행함으로써 만들어진다. 이러한 여러 공정중 빈번히 수행되는 공정의 하나로 웨이퍼상에 P형 또는 N형 불순물을 침투시키거나 산화막 또는 질화막 등의 특정막을 형성 또는 성장시키는 확산공정이 있다.In general, a semiconductor device is made by selectively and repeatedly performing a process such as photographing, etching, diffusion, ion implantation, and metal deposition on a semiconductor substrate wafer. One of the processes frequently performed among these processes is a diffusion process that infiltrates P-type or N-type impurities on a wafer or forms or grows a specific film such as an oxide film or a nitride film.

이러한 확산공정에서는 주로 화학기상증착(Chemical Vapor Deposition, CVD)법이 이용된다. 상기 CVD방법은 화학소스를 가스 상태로 장치내에 공급하여 웨이퍼 표면상에서 확산을 일으키게 함으로써 웨이퍼상에 유전체막, 도전막, 반도전막 등을 증착시키는 기술이다.In this diffusion process, chemical vapor deposition (CVD) is mainly used. The CVD method is a technique of depositing a dielectric film, a conductive film, a semiconducting film, etc. on a wafer by supplying a chemical source into the device in a gas state to cause diffusion on the wafer surface.

이러한 CVD방법은 통상 장치내의 압력에 따라 저압CVD, 상압CVD로 구분되고, 그 외에도 플라즈마CVD 또는 광여기CVD 등이 일반적으로 사용되고 있다. 이 중에서 LP(Low Pressure)CVD는 상압보다 낮은 압력에서 웨이퍼의 표면상에 필요한 물질을 증착시키는 방법으로서 주로 사용된다.Such a CVD method is generally classified into low pressure CVD and atmospheric pressure CVD according to the pressure in the apparatus. In addition, plasma CVD or photoexcited CVD is generally used. Among them, LP (Low Pressure) CVD is mainly used as a method of depositing a necessary material on the surface of the wafer at a pressure lower than normal pressure.

이러한 LPCVD방법을 이용한 확산공정은 주로 우수한 균일성과 반복성 및 낮은 결함률 등의 장점을 갖는 종형확산로(Vertical Diffusion Furnace)에서 그 진행이 이루어진다.The diffusion process using the LPCVD method mainly proceeds in a vertical diffusion furnace having excellent uniformity, repeatability, and low defect rate.

즉, 웨이퍼상에 산화막을 입히기 위한 가스들이 플랜지(100)의 가스주입구를 통해 유입되는데, 이러한 가스들은 플랜지(100)내로 들어와 서로 혼합되게 된다. 이때, 혼합량에 따라 적은양의 가스들은 제1주입구(120a)로 유입되고, 많은 양의 가스는 제2주입구(120b)로 유입되어 혼합되게 된다.That is, gases for coating an oxide film on the wafer are introduced through the gas inlet of the flange 100, and these gases enter the flange 100 and are mixed with each other. At this time, a small amount of gas is introduced into the first inlet 120a according to the mixing amount, and a large amount of gas is introduced into the second inlet 120b to be mixed.

또한, 제1주입구(120a)와 제2주입구(120b)를 서로 마주보게 형성시키는 이유는 서로 다른 가스들이 믹싱될때에 주입과 동시에 플랜지의 중심에서 서로 부딪히면서 믹싱이 잘되게 함에 있다.In addition, the reason for forming the first inlet 120a and the second inlet 120b to face each other is that the mixing is performed well when the different gases are mixed with each other while hitting each other at the center of the flange.

한편, 플랜지(100)에는 냉각장치가 마련된다. 냉각장치는 상부체결부(111)의 내부에 순회관(131a)을 형성하여 냉각수를 한바퀴 순회시키도록 형성되는 제1냉각라인(130a)과, 마찬가지로 하부체결부(112)의 내부에 순회관(131b)을 형성하여 냉각수를 한바퀴 순회시키도록 형성되는 제2냉각라인(130b)으로 구성된다. 이러한 냉각장치는 도 4에서 보는 바와 같이 상부체결부(111) 및 하부체결부(112)의 외측면상에 원형의 냉각홈부(135a)(135b)를 형성한 후, 이 냉각홈부(135a)(135b를 냉각커버(136a)(136b)로 막아 용접결합으로 형성된다. 이때, 각각의 냉각홈부(135a)(135b)들은 완전한 원형으로 형성되는 것이 아니라 한쪽으로 입구를 형성하고 거의 한바퀴 순회하여 입구 바로 옆에 출구를 형성하도록 마련된다. 이렇게 형성된 각각의 냉각홈부(135a)(135b)에는 입구에 냉각공급포트(132a)가 냉각커버(136a)(136b)를 관통하도록 용접결합되어 형성되고, 출구에 냉각배출포트(132b)가 냉각커버(136a)(136b)를 관통하도록 용접결합되어 형성된다.On the other hand, the flange 100 is provided with a cooling device. The cooling device forms a circulation tube 131a in the upper fastening portion 111 to form the first cooling line 130a so as to circulate the cooling water one round, and similarly, the circulation tube is formed inside the lower fastening portion 112. 131b) to form a second cooling line 130b formed to circulate the cooling water. Such a cooling device forms circular cooling grooves 135a and 135b on the outer surfaces of the upper fastening portion 111 and the lower fastening portion 112 as shown in FIG. 4, and then the cooling grooves 135a and 135b. Is formed by welding by blocking the cooling cover 136a and 136b, in which the cooling grooves 135a and 135b are not formed in a completely circular shape, but form an inlet to one side and circulate almost one round, right next to the inlet. Each of the cooling grooves 135a and 135b formed as described above is formed by welding a cooling supply port 132a to the inlet to penetrate the cooling cover 136a and 136b and cooling the outlet. The discharge port 132b is welded and formed to pass through the cooling covers 136a and 136b.

본 발명에 따른 디퓨젼 플랜지(100)에는 결로방지수단(140)이 더 마련된다. 결로방지수단(140)은 고온으로 발열되는 디퓨젼 플랜지(100)에 냉각장치에 의한 냉각이 이루어질때에 온도차이로 인한 결로현상이 발생될 수 있는 것을 방지하기 위한 수단이다.The diffusion flange 100 according to the present invention is further provided with condensation preventing means 140. The condensation preventing means 140 is a means for preventing condensation due to a temperature difference when cooling by the cooling device is performed on the diffusion flange 100 that is heated to a high temperature.

이러한 결로방지수단(140)은 하부체결부(112)의 제2냉각라인(130b)의 내측에 결로발생관(141)을 뚫어 형성된다. 즉, 결로방지수단(140)은 도 5에서 보는 바와 같이 하부체결부(112)의 외측면상에 결로홈부(145)가 제2냉각라인(130b)보다 작은 원형으로 형성되고, 이 결로홈부(145)를 결로커버(146)로 용접결합되도록 형성된다. 그리고 결로커버(146)에는 하나의 수증기배출포트(142)를 형성하여 결로홈부(145)와 연통되도록 마련된다.The condensation preventing means 140 is formed by drilling a condensation generating tube 141 inside the second cooling line 130b of the lower fastening portion 112. That is, the condensation preventing means 140 is a condensation groove 145 is formed on the outer surface of the lower fastening portion 112 is smaller than the second cooling line 130b as shown in Figure 5, the condensation groove portion 145 ) Is formed to be welded to the condensation cover 146. The condensation cover 146 is provided to communicate with the condensation groove 145 by forming one steam discharge port 142.

이와 같이 형성된 결로방지수단(140)은 디퓨젼 플랜지(100)가 가열되고, 냉각장치에 의해서 냉각될때에 발생되는 결로현상을 결로방지수단(140)의 결로홈부(145)에서 물로 응축시키고, 이 응축된 물은 디퓨젼 플랜지(100)가 고온이므로 수증기로 기화되면서 수증기배출포트(142)로 배출되게 된다.The condensation preventing means 140 formed as described above condenses the condensation phenomenon generated when the diffusion flange 100 is heated and cooled by the cooling device to water in the condensation groove part 145 of the condensation preventing means 140. The condensed water is discharged to the steam discharge port 142 while being vaporized with water vapor because the diffusion flange 100 is a high temperature.

도면에서는 도시하지 않았지만, 결로방지수단(140)은 하부체결부(112)에만 형성되는 것이 아니라 하부체결부(112)에서와 마찬가지로 상부체결부(111)에도 형성시킬 수 있다. 또는, 결로방지수단(140)은 상부체결부(111)에만 형성시킬 수도 있다.Although not shown in the drawing, the condensation preventing means 140 may be formed in the upper fastening part 111 as in the lower fastening part 112, instead of being formed only in the lower fastening part 112. Alternatively, the condensation preventing means 140 may be formed only on the upper fastening portion 111.
