Description

멀티 챔버를 구비한 반도체 제조 장비{Semiconductor fabrication equipment having multi-chamber}Semiconductor fabrication equipment having multi-chamber

본 발명은 반도체 기술에 관한 것으로, 특히 멀티 챔버를 구비한 반도체 제조 장비에 관한 것이다.TECHNICAL FIELD This invention relates to semiconductor technology. Specifically, It is related with the semiconductor manufacturing equipment provided with the multi chamber.

반도체 생산 라인에서 사용되고 있는 식각 장비, 증착 장비 등은 통상적으로 2개 이상의 공정 챔버를 구비하고 있다. 각각의 공정 챔버에서는 동일한 레시피의 공정을 동시에 진행하거나 각각 다른 레시피의 공정을 동시에 진행하여 생산성을 높이고 있다.Etching equipment, deposition equipment, and the like used in semiconductor production lines typically have two or more process chambers. In each process chamber, the same recipe is processed at the same time or different recipes are processed at the same time to increase productivity.

도 1은 종래기술에 따른 멀티 챔버를 구비한 반도체 제조 장비의 구성도이다.1 is a block diagram of a semiconductor manufacturing equipment having a multi-chamber according to the prior art.

도 1을 참조하면, 종래기술에 따른 멀티 챔버를 구비한 반도체 제조 장비는, 장비의 본체 즉, 바디(body)(10)와, 그에 부속된 다수의 챔버를 구비한다.Referring to FIG. 1, a semiconductor manufacturing apparatus having a multi-chamber according to the prior art includes a main body of a device, that is, a body 10 and a plurality of chambers attached thereto.

우선, 바디(10)에는 공정챔버A(11) 및 공정챔버B(12)가 부속된다. 공정챔버A(11) 및 공정챔버B(12)는 각각 독립적으로 공정을 진행할 수 있다.First, the process chamber A 11 and the process chamber B 12 are attached to the body 10. Process chamber A 11 and process chamber B 12 may each independently process.

그리고, 바디(10)에는 로드락A(15) 및 로드락B(16)이 부속된다. 로드락A(15) 및 로드락B(16)은 웨이퍼의 로딩/언로딩을 수행하기 위한 것으로, 다수의 공정챔버(11, 12)를 지원하기 위하여 통상 2개의 로드락을 구비하고 있다.In addition, the load lock A 15 and the load lock B 16 are attached to the body 10. The load lock A 15 and the load lock B 16 are used for loading / unloading wafers, and are generally provided with two load locks to support a plurality of process chambers 11 and 12.

또한, 바디(10)에는 쿨링챔버(CC)(13)가 부속된다. 쿨링챔버(13)는 공정챔버A(11) 또는 공정챔버B(12)에서 공정을 마친 웨이퍼를 서서히 냉각시키기위한 챔버이다. 공정을 진행하면서 고온으로 가열된 웨이퍼가 상온의 대기에 노출되는 경우 급냉에 의해 웨이퍼의 파손이 우려되기 때문에 별도로 냉각을 위한 챔버를 구비하고 있다.In addition, a cooling chamber (CC) 13 is attached to the body 10. The cooling chamber 13 is a chamber for gradually cooling the wafer which has been processed in the process chamber A 11 or the process chamber B 12. When the wafer heated to a high temperature during the process is exposed to the atmosphere at room temperature, the wafer may be damaged by quenching. Thus, a chamber for cooling is provided separately.

또한, 바디(10)에는 얼라인챔버(AC)(14)가 부속된다. 얼라인챔버(14)는 웨이퍼를 정렬하여 각 챔버로 이동시키기 위한 것으로, 통상 트랜스퍼챔버에 하나의 얼라이너를 구비하여 얼라인챔버(14)로 사용하거나, 장비 외부에 얼라이너를 부착할 수도 있다. 한편, 얼라이너는 로봇 암(robot arm)을 구비하고 있다.In addition, the alignment chamber (AC) 14 is attached to the body 10. The alignment chamber 14 is used to align the wafers and move them into the respective chambers. In general, the alignment chamber 14 includes one aligner in the transfer chamber to be used as the alignment chamber 14, or the aligner may be attached to the outside of the equipment. On the other hand, the aligner is equipped with a robot arm.

전술한 바와 같이 현재 반도체 생산 라인에서 가동되고 있는 장비들은 하나의 바디(10)에 하나의 얼라이너가 배치된다. 상기와 같은 장비를 사용하여 공정을 진행할 때, 공정챔버A(11) 및 공정챔버B(12)에서 공정 시간이 다른 공정을 진행하는 경우, 공정 지연 및 필름의 열화가 발생하는 문제점이 있었다.As described above, the equipment currently operating in the semiconductor production line is arranged with one aligner in one body 10. When the process is performed using the above equipment, when the process time is different in the process chamber A (11) and the process chamber B (12), there is a problem in that process delay and film deterioration occur.

예컨대, 로드락A(15)에 증착 시간이 긴 레시피의 웨이퍼(L1)를 로딩하고, 로드락B(16)에 증착 시간이 짧은 레시피의 웨이퍼(S1)를 로딩한 경우를 가정하면, 증착 시간이 긴 레시피의 웨이퍼(L1)가 얼라인챔버(14)를 경유하여 공정챔버B(12)에서 증착 공정을 진행하고, 증착 시간이 짧은 레시피의 웨이퍼(S1)가 얼라인챔버(14)를 경유하여 공정챔버A(11)에서 증착 공정을 진행할 때, 로드락A(15)을 통해 로딩된 증착 시간이 긴 레시피의 웨이퍼(L2)가 공정챔버B(12)에서 진행 중인 공정이 종료할 때까지 얼라인챔버(14)에서 대기하게 된다. 이러한 상태에서 공정챔버A(11)에서 증착 시간이 짧은 레시피의 웨이퍼(S1)에 대한 공정이 종료되면, 증착 시간이 짧은 레시피의 웨이퍼(S1)는 쿨링챔버(13)로 옮겨지고, 공정챔버A(11)는 공정챔버B(12)에서 증착 시간이 긴 레시피의 웨이퍼(L1)에 대한 공정이 종료되고 증착 시간이 긴 레시피의 웨이퍼(L2)가 공정챔버B(12)로 로딩될 때까지는 아이들(idle) 상태로 있게 된다. 이는 공정챔버A(11)에서 공정이 예정된 증착 시간이 짧은 레시피의 웨이퍼(S2)가 얼라인챔버(14)에 대기하고 있는 증착 시간이 긴 레시피의 웨이퍼(L2) 때문에 얼라인챔버(14)로 가지 못하기 때문이다.For example, it is assumed that load lock A 15 is loaded with a wafer L1 having a long deposition time and load lock B 16 has a wafer S1 having a short deposition time. The wafer L1 of the long recipe proceeds through the alignment chamber 14 in the process chamber B 12, and the wafer S1 having the short deposition time passes through the alignment chamber 14. When the deposition process is performed in the process chamber A 11, the wafer L2 having the long deposition time loaded through the load lock A 15 is finished in the process chamber B 12 until the process in progress is completed. Waiting in the alignment chamber 14. In this state, when the process for the wafer S1 having the short deposition time is completed in the process chamber A 11, the wafer S1 having the short deposition time is transferred to the cooling chamber 13 and the process chamber A 11, the process chamber B 12 is idle until the process for the wafer L1 of the long deposition time is completed and the wafer L2 of the long deposition time is loaded into the process chamber B 12. (idle) state. This is because in the process chamber A 11, the wafer S2 of the recipe having a short deposition time scheduled for the process is waiting for the alignment chamber 14 to the alignment chamber 14 because of the wafer L2 of the long deposition time. Because you can't go.

이 경우, 원치 않는 공정챔버A(11)의 아이들 상태는 공정 지연을 유발하여 생산성을 저하시키며, 아이들 상태에서 대기 중인 공정챔버A(11)의 온도가 떨어지게 되어 증착될 필름의 특성이 열화되는 문제점이 있다.In this case, an undesired idle state of the process chamber A (11) causes a process delay, thereby lowering the productivity, and the temperature of the process chamber A (11) waiting in the idle state is lowered, thereby deteriorating characteristics of the film to be deposited. There is this.

본 발명은 상기와 같은 종래기술의 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 제안된 것으로, 멀티 챔버 사용에 따른 얼라이너에서의 웨이퍼 병목 현상을 해소할 수 있는 반도체 제조 장비를 제공하는데 그 목적이 있다.The present invention has been proposed to solve the above problems of the prior art, and an object of the present invention is to provide a semiconductor manufacturing equipment that can eliminate the wafer bottleneck in the aligner due to the use of a multi-chamber.

The load lock A 25 and the load lock B 26 are for carrying out loading / unloading of a wafer, and are generally provided with two load locks to support a plurality of process chambers 21 and 22.

또한, 바디(20)에는 쿨링챔버(CC)(23)가 부속된다. 쿨링챔버(23)는 공정챔버A(21) 또는 공정챔버B(22)에서 공정을 마친 웨이퍼를 서서히 냉각시키기 위한 챔버이다.In addition, a cooling chamber (CC) 23 is attached to the body 20. The cooling chamber 23 is a chamber for gradually cooling the wafer which has been processed in the process chamber A 21 or the process chamber B 22.

또한, 바디(20)에는 제1 얼라인챔버(AC-1)(24a) 및 제2 얼라인챔버(AC-2)(24b)가 부속된다. 제1 및 제2 얼라인챔버(24a, 24b)는 웨이퍼를 정렬하여 각 챔버로 이동시키기 위한 것이다. 제1 및 제2 얼라인챔버(24a, 24b)는 트랜스퍼챔버 내에 얼라이너를 설치하여 사용할 수 있다. 한편, 얼라이너는 로봇 암(robot arm)을 구비하고 있다.The body 20 is also accompanied by a first alignment chamber (AC-1) 24a and a second alignment chamber (AC-2) 24b. The first and second alignment chambers 24a and 24b are for aligning and moving wafers to each chamber. The first and second alignment chambers 24a and 24b may be used by installing an aligner in the transfer chamber. On the other hand, the aligner is equipped with a robot arm.

이하, 상기와 같이 구성된 반도체 제조 장비의 동작을 설명한다.Hereinafter, the operation of the semiconductor manufacturing equipment configured as described above will be described.

우선, 로드락A(25)에 로딩된 증착 시간이 긴 레시피의 웨이퍼(L1)가 제1 얼라인챔버(24a)를 경유하여 공정챔버B(12)에서 증착 공정을 진행하고, 로드락B(26)에 로딩된 증착 시간이 짧은 레시피의 웨이퍼(S1)가 제1 얼라인챔버(24a)를 경유하여 공정챔버A(21)에서 증착 공정을 진행한다.First, a wafer L1 having a long deposition time loaded on the load lock A 25 is subjected to a deposition process in the process chamber B 12 via the first alignment chamber 24a, and then load lock B ( The wafer S1 having the short deposition time loaded on the substrate 26 is subjected to the deposition process in the process chamber A 21 via the first alignment chamber 24a.

이어서, 로드락A(25)을 통해 로딩된 증착 시간이 긴 레시피의 웨이퍼(L2)는 공정챔버B(22)에서 진행 중인 공정이 종료할 때까지 제1 얼라인챔버(24a)에서 대기하고, 로드락B(26)를 통해 로딩된 증착 시간이 짧은 레시피의 웨이퍼(S2)는 공정챔버A(21)에서 진행 중인 공정이 종료할 때까지 제2 얼라인챔버(24b)에서 대기하게 된다.Subsequently, the wafer L2 of the recipe having a long deposition time loaded through the load lock A 25 is waited in the first alignment chamber 24a until the process in progress in the process chamber B 22 ends. The wafer S2 of the recipe having a short deposition time loaded through the load lock B 26 is waited in the second alignment chamber 24b until the process in progress in the process chamber A 21 ends.
