Description
The present invention relates to an atomic layer deposition apparatus, and more particularly, to a gas supply apparatus capable of processing a large area substrate and a large-area atomic layer deposition apparatus having the same.
In recent years, as the degree of integration of semiconductor devices increases in semiconductor manufacturing processes, there is an increasing demand for microfabrication. That is, in order to form a fine pattern and highly integrate the cells on one chip, a new material having a thin film thickness reduction and a high dielectric constant should be developed. Particularly, when a step is formed on the surface of the substrate, it is very important to ensure step coverage, step coverage, and uniformity within the wafer, which smoothly cover the surface. An atomic layer deposition (ALD) method, which is a method of forming a thin film having a minute thickness at the atomic layer level, has been proposed to meet such a requirement.
The ALD process is a method of forming a monolayer by using chemisorption and desorption processes by the surface saturated reaction of reactants on the surface of the substrate. Is a possible thin film deposition method.
The ALD process alternately introduces two or more source gases, respectively, and prevents the source gases from mixing in the gaseous state by introducing purge gas, which is an inert gas, between the inlet of each source gas. That is, one source gas is chemically adsorbed on the substrate surface, and then another source gas reacts to generate a further atomic layer on the substrate surface. Then, such a process is repeated at one cycle until a thin film having a desired thickness is formed. Here, the source gas must be chemically adsorbed and chemically reacted only on the substrate surface, so that no other surface reaction occurs until one atomic layer is completely formed.
On the other hand, in the conventional atomic layer deposition apparatus, the process gas flows into the process chamber by the operation of the flow rate controller and the valve. However, since the size of the process chamber is increased as the size of the substrate is increased, it has been difficult to uniformly introduce the process gas into the process chamber in the conventional method. In particular, as the size of the process chamber increases, the number of ports for introducing the process gas must be increased, thereby increasing the number of flow control controllers and valves. Also, considering the flow rate of the process gas, the number of the distribution lines and ports for uniformly sending the position of the first process gas inlet port must also be increased. However, as the number of flow control controllers and valves increases, there is a difference in flow of the process gas due to the flow error of the flow rate controller and the valve. If the complicated distribution lines and ports are not precisely designed, The uniformity of the gas is reduced.
According to embodiments of the present invention, a gas supply apparatus capable of uniformly introducing a process gas into a large process chamber capable of processing a large-area substrate and a large-area atomic layer deposition apparatus having the gas supply apparatus are provided.
