반도체 화학기상증착장비용 증발기의 용액공급구조Solution supply structure of evaporator for semiconductor chemical vapor deposition equipment

본 발명은 반도체 화학기상증착장비용 증발기의 용액공급구조에 관한 것으로, 특히 공급되는 용액이 원할하게 증발되도록 하여 공정의 재현성을 향상시키도록 하는데 적합한 반도체 화학기상증착장비용 증발기의 용액공급구조에 관한 것이다.The present invention relates to a solution supply structure of the evaporator for semiconductor chemical vapor deposition equipment, and more particularly to a solution supply structure of the evaporator for semiconductor chemical vapor deposition equipment suitable for improving the reproducibility of the process by allowing the supplied solution to be evaporated smoothly. will be.

반도체 웨이퍼 제조공정중 메탈 및 캐패시터 제조등의 박막형성공정에서는 최근의 추세인 집적도의 증가에 다른 종횡비가 커지면서 복잡한 형상 및 미세한 구조에 화학기상증착법이 널리 이용되고 있으며, 이러한 화학기상증착법을 수행하는 장비중 전구체(PRECURSOR)인 금속유기화합물을 증발기에서 증발시켜서 반응기 내로 주입시키는 화학기상증착장비에서는 증발기를 필수적으로 사용하게 된다.In the thin film forming process such as metal and capacitor manufacturing during the semiconductor wafer manufacturing process, chemical vapor deposition is widely used for complex shapes and fine structures as the aspect ratio increases due to the recent increase in the degree of integration. Evaporator is essential in chemical vapor deposition equipment in which a metal organic compound, which is a heavy precursor (PRECURSOR), is evaporated in an evaporator and injected into the reactor.

상기와 같이 화학기상증착장비에 설치되어 있는 종래 증발기가 도 1에 도시되어 있는 바, 이를 간단히 설명하면 다음과 같다.The conventional evaporator installed in the chemical vapor deposition equipment as shown above is shown in Figure 1, briefly described as follows.

도 1은 종래 화학기상증착장비용 증발기의 구조를 보인 부분절결사시도로서, 도시된 바와 같이, 종래 화학기상증착장비용 증발기는 내측에 일정공간부(1)가 형성되어 있는 원통형의 케이스 바디(2)와, 그 케이스 바디(2)의 상단부에 삽입설치되어 액체상태의 전구체를 주입하기 위한 용액주입관(3)과, 상기 케이스 바디(2)의 내측 공간부(1)에 고정설치됨과 아울러 상기 용액주입관(3)의 하단부와 일정간격을 두고 설치되어 용액을 가열하여 기화시키기 위한 원판형의 다공질 가열판(5)과, 상기 케이스 바디(2)의 하단부 외측으로 형성되어 가열판(5)에서 기화된 전구체를 반응기로 유입시키기 위한 기체유출관(6)과, 상기 케이스 바디(2)의 상단부 일측에 설치되어 공간부(1) 내측으로 반송기체를 유입시키기 위한 반송가스유입관(7)으로 구성되어 있다.1 is a partial cutaway perspective view showing a structure of a conventional evaporator for chemical vapor deposition equipment, as shown, the conventional evaporator for chemical vapor deposition equipment is a cylindrical case body having a predetermined space (1) formed inside ( 2), a solution injection pipe 3 inserted into the upper end of the case body 2 to inject a liquid precursor, and fixed to the inner space 1 of the case body 2; It is installed at a lower interval with the lower end of the solution injection pipe (3) is a disk-shaped porous heating plate (5) for heating and vaporizing the solution, and formed on the outside of the lower end of the case body (2) in the heating plate (5) A gas outlet pipe 6 for introducing a vaporized precursor into the reactor and a carrier gas inlet pipe 7 installed at one side of an upper end of the case body 2 to introduce a carrier gas into the space 1; Consists of.

상기와 같이 구성되어 있는 종래 반도체 화학기상증착장비용 증발기에서는 전구체인 Ba(DPM)2와 같은 용질을 부틸아세테이트와 같은 용매에 녹여서 전구체용액(9)을 만든다.In the conventional evaporator for semiconductor chemical vapor deposition equipment configured as described above, a precursor solution 9 is prepared by dissolving a solute such as Ba (DPM) 2 as a precursor in a solvent such as butyl acetate.

그런 다음, 상기 증발기(8)의 케이스 바디(2) 외측에 설치된 히터(미도시)를 이요하여 가열판(5)을 일정온도로 가열한 상태에서 용액주입관(3)을 통하여 가열판(5)의 상면에 전구체용액(9)을 주입한다.Then, a heater (not shown) installed outside the case body 2 of the evaporator 8 is used to heat the heating plate 5 to a predetermined temperature, and then, through the solution injection pipe 3, The precursor solution 9 is injected into the upper surface.

이와 같이 주입된 전구체용액(9)은 가열판(5)에서 가열되어 기화되고, 반송가스유입관(7)으로 유입되는 아르곤가스와 같은 반송가스에 의하여 다공질의 가열판(5)을 통과하여 기체유출관(6)을 통하여 반응기로 주입되고, 이와 같이 주입된 기체는 웨이퍼의 상면에 일정두께의 박막을 형성하게 된다.The precursor solution 9 injected in this way is heated and vaporized by the heating plate 5, and passes through the porous heating plate 5 by a carrier gas such as argon gas flowing into the carrier gas inlet tube 7 to allow the gas outlet tube to flow. Injected into the reactor through (6), the injected gas forms a thin film of a predetermined thickness on the upper surface of the wafer.

그러나, 상기와 같은 종래 반도체 화학기상증착장비용 증발기에서는 가열판(5)으로 공급되는 전구체용액(9)에서 용질에 비하여 용매가 빨리 증발되기 때문에 용질이 많이 잔류하고, 계속공급되는 전구체용액(9)의 농도는 점차증가하여 미처증발되지 못한 전구체 용액이 석출되어 다공질인 가열판(5)의 미세한 홀을 막게 되며, 이와 같은 현상은 일정양을 기화시켜서 반응기로 공급하지 못하여 발생되는 작업의 재현성을 저하시킬뿐만 아니라, 가열판(5)의 잦은 교체에 따른 작업지연 및 제조원가상승을 초래하는 문제점이 있었다.However, in the conventional evaporator for semiconductor chemical vapor deposition equipment as described above, since the solvent evaporates faster than the solute in the precursor solution 9 supplied to the heating plate 5, the solute remains much and the precursor solution 9 continues to be supplied. The concentration of is gradually increased to precipitate the precursor solution that has not been evaporated to block the fine holes of the porous heating plate 5, and this phenomenon may reduce the reproducibility of the work generated by not supplying the reactor by vaporizing a certain amount. In addition, there was a problem that the work delay and manufacturing cost increase due to frequent replacement of the heating plate (5).

상기와 같은 문제점을 감안하여 안출한 본 발명의 목적은 항상 일정양을 기화시켜서 반응기로 공급하여 작업의 재현성을 향상시키도록 하는데 적합한 반도체 화학기상증착장비용 증발기의 용액공급구조를 제공함에 있다.The object of the present invention devised in view of the above problems is to provide a solution supply structure of an evaporator for semiconductor chemical vapor deposition equipment suitable for improving the reproducibility of work by always vaporizing a certain amount and supplying it to the reactor.
