Description
The present invention relates to a substrate processing apparatus, and more particularly, to a gas supply method of a substrate processing apparatus for depositing a thin film on a substrate by supplying a source gas and a reaction gas.
The substrate treating apparatus refers to an apparatus for performing a predetermined substrate treatment, such as depositing or etching a thin film on a substrate.
As an example of a substrate processing apparatus, as disclosed in Korean Laid-Open Patent Publication No. 10-2008-0098813, a process chamber for forming a closed processing space, a substrate support portion installed in the process chamber to support a substrate, and a substrate support portion It may be configured to include a gas supply unit for supplying one or more gases in the processing space for performing deposition, etching, etc. to the seated substrate.
More specifically, the conventional substrate processing apparatus may perform a process of depositing a thin film on the surface of a substrate by sequentially supplying a source gas and a reaction gas into a processing space, a so-called atomic layer deposition process.
In this case, the substrate processing apparatus for performing the deposition process by sequentially supplying the source gas and the reaction gas may have various configurations according to the supply structure, the order, and the like of the source gas and the reaction gas.
By the way, the substrate processing apparatus for performing the deposition process by sequentially supplying the source gas and the reaction gas, the quality of the thin film formed according to the supply structure of the source gas and the reaction gas, the flow of the source gas and the reaction gas on the substrate surface, that is The thickness of the thin film over the substrate surface is greatly affected.
It is an object of the present invention to recognize the above points, in order to inject the gas in the source gas supply, the first purge gas supply, the reaction gas supply and the second purge gas supply in order that the source gas and the second purge gas is the first flow The first purge gas and the reactive gas are injected in the second flow direction intersecting the first flow direction, thereby minimizing the distortion of the gas flow when the source gas or the reactive gas is injected immediately after the purge gas is injected. A gas supply method of a substrate processing apparatus capable of depositing a thin film is provided.
The present invention was created in order to achieve the object of the present invention as described above, the present invention, in order to deposit a thin film on a rectangular substrate, injection of the source gas, injection of the purge gas, injection of the reaction gas and injection of the purge gas A gas supply method of a substrate processing apparatus in which furnace gases are injected, the first flow direction of which is directed from a first side of the rectangular substrate to a third side opposite to the first side through a source gas injection unit for injecting the source gas. A source gas supply step of forming a flow of the source gas; A first purge step of forming a flow of purge gas in a second flow direction from the second side of the rectangular substrate perpendicular to the first side to the fourth side opposite to the second side after the source gas supplying step; Wow; A reaction gas supplying step of forming a flow of the reaction gas in the second flow direction after the first purge step through the reaction gas injection unit injecting the reaction gas; And a second purging step of forming a flow of purge gas in the first flow direction after the reaction gas supplying step.
In the source gas supplying step and the second purging step, the source gas and the purge gas are injected in a direction perpendicular to or parallel to the surface of the rectangular substrate near the first side, and flow along the surface of the substrate. It is exhausted in the direction perpendicular to or parallel to the surface of the rectangular substrate near the sides, and the reaction gas and the purge gas in the reaction gas supplying step and the first purge step are perpendicular to the surface of the rectangular substrate near the second side. Alternatively, the liquid crystal may be sprayed in a parallel direction to flow along the surface of the substrate and then exhausted in a direction perpendicular to or parallel to the surface of the rectangular substrate near the fourth side.
In the source gas supply step, an inert gas is supplied to prevent the source gas from flowing into the reaction gas injection unit, and the reaction gas supply step is an inert gas to prevent the reaction gas from flowing into the source gas injection unit. Can be supplied.
A source gas exhaust portion facing the source gas supply portion to exhaust the source gas based on the substrate; a reaction gas exhaust portion facing the reaction gas supply portion relative to the substrate; In the gas supply step, the reaction gas exhaust unit is blocked by a valve so that the exhaust gas is not exhausted through the reaction gas exhaust unit, and the reaction gas supply unit includes the source gas exhaust unit so that the exhaust gas is not exhausted through the source gas exhaust unit. It can be shut off by a valve.
The source gas injection step to the second purge step may be repeated a plurality of times.
The source gas injection step to the second purge step may be injected in a direction perpendicular to or parallel to the surface of the rectangular substrate.
In the gas supply method of the substrate processing apparatus according to the present invention, the source gas and the second purge gas flows in the first flow in order to inject the gas in the order of source gas supply, first purge gas supply, reaction gas supply and second purge gas supply. The first purge gas and the reactive gas are injected in the second flow direction intersecting the first flow direction, thereby minimizing the distortion of the gas flow when the source gas or the reactive gas is injected immediately after the purge gas is injected. There is an advantage to deposit one thin film.
Specifically, in the case of the conventional gas supply method, when the source gas or the reaction gas is injected in a direction perpendicular to the flow direction of the purge gas after the injection of the purge gas, the flow of the source gas or the reaction gas is affected from the flow of the purge gas Vortex is generated, and the generated vortex inhibits the uniformity of gas flow on the substrate, and thus there is a problem that uniform deposition cannot be performed.
However, in the gas supply method according to the present invention, since the source gas or the reaction gas is injected in the same direction as the flow direction of the purge gas after the injection of the purge gas, vortices are not generated and thus a uniform thin film can be deposited.
