Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to the grounding of a plasma processing facility for a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) process for manufacturing TFT-LCD PANEL, and more particularly, to form a uniform plasma atmosphere within the plasma processing space and to deposit the same. The present invention relates to an RF ground (STRAP) for a PECVD process that can deposit a uniform thin film on a substrate by preventing the deposition material from being deposited on the edge side of the substrate.
Typically, in the process of manufacturing a flat panel display device such as an LCD, a plasma processing apparatus that performs a predetermined process on a GLASS substrate using plasma is used, and the plasma processing apparatus includes an upper electrode (diffuser) and a lower electrode. The substrate is positioned between the susceptors, a plasma is generated in the space between both electrodes, and the substrate is subjected to a predetermined process. At this time, RF power is applied to one of the two electrodes, and the other electrode is grounded.
In the conventional plasma enhanced (PE) plasma processing apparatus, RF power is applied to the upper electrode, and a side cross section is fixed to the bracket provided on the lower surface of the lower electrode to fix the RF STRAP (ground) to a ground means made of aluminum on the bottom of the chamber. Grounded by
Here, the above-described lower electrode also serves as a mounting table in which a substrate (not shown) is positioned in an upper region thereof, and thus the substrate is raised upward to reduce the separation distance from the upper electrode after the substrate is supplied from the outside of the plasma processing apparatus. Plasma treatment is performed on the substrate, and when the treatment is completed, the lower electrode is lowered again and then the substrate is taken out. Therefore, the lower electrode continuously moves in the vertical direction.
Here, the bracket is attached to the lower surface of the lower electrode and the grounding means for electrically connecting the bottom of the chamber is composed of a flexible member such as a flexible material such as aluminum, which is composed of a predetermined portion of the lower region of the bracket It is fixed to the chamber bottom predetermined part by fixing members, such as a bolt, respectively. At this time, the ground means is bent in the middle portion, the ground means is at an angle to the lower surface of the lower electrode or the bottom of the chamber, the bending and unfolding is repeated in accordance with the repeated lifting operation of the lower electrode in accordance with the processing performed.
Therefore, aluminum used as a conventional grounding means has a Young's modulus of 70.3 GPa, so that a local load is applied due to the repeated lifting operation of the lower electrode.
Accordingly, the conventional grounding means has a problem that the local fatigue strength is increased and broken, thereby closing the ground path of the plasma electrons inside the apparatus.
In addition, conventionally, there is a problem in that the thin film deposited on the substrate is deposited toward the edge of the substrate according to the closing of the ground path.

In addition, the ground portion is heat-treated at 350 degrees Celsius for 3 to 4 hours, after the heat treatment is preferably formed by washing and drying through isopropyl alcohol (IPA) cleaning.
In addition, the ground portion is formed in a pair to be located at both ends of the second electrode portion, one end of the ground portion is bolted to one end side of the second electrode portion, the other end of the ground portion is bolted to the inner bottom wall of the chamber It is preferred to be fastened.
Here, the pair of grounding portions are preferably bent to be symmetrical to each other.
In addition, the ground portion may include a plurality of holes that are drilled at regular intervals, and the holes may be connected to each other through straight holes forming a straight line.
In addition, a plurality of vacuum holes are provided to receive the vacuum from the outside of the second electrode portion, and a lifting unit is disposed at the bottom of the second electrode portion.
Here, the elevating unit is preferably provided with an elevating shaft for supporting the lower end of the second electrode portion, and the elevating cylinder connected to the elevating shaft and receiving the power from the outside to elevate the elevating shaft.
