Abstract
Description
The present invention relates to a vacuum chucking susceptor and an atomic layer deposition apparatus including the same, and more particularly, to a vacuum chucking susceptor and an atomic layer deposition apparatus including the same that can stably chuck a wafer seated on the susceptor by vacuum. It is about.
In general, in order to deposit a thin film having a predetermined thickness on a wafer such as a semiconductor wafer or glass, physical vapor deposition (PVD) using physical collision such as sputtering and chemical vapor deposition using chemical reaction ( thin film manufacturing method using chemical vapor deposition (CVD) or the like is used.
As the design rule of the semiconductor device is drastically fine, a thin film of a fine pattern is required, and the step of the region where the thin film is formed is also very large. Accordingly, the use of an atomic layer deposition (ALD) method, which is capable of forming a very fine pattern of atomic layer thickness very uniformly and has excellent stem coverage, has been increasing.
The atomic layer deposition (ALD) method is similar to the conventional chemical vapor deposition method in that it uses chemical reactions between gas molecules. However, unlike conventional chemical vapor deposition (CVD) methods injecting a plurality of gas molecules into the process chamber at the same time to deposit the reaction product generated above the wafer onto the wafer, the atomic layer deposition method processes one gaseous material. It is different in that it is injected into the chamber and then purged to leave only the physically adsorbed gas on top of the heated wafer, and then inject other gaseous materials to deposit chemical reaction products that occur only on the top of the wafer. The thin film implemented through such an atomic layer deposition method has a high step coverage characteristic and has the advantage that it is possible to implement a pure thin film having a low impurity content, which is widely attracting attention.
Meanwhile, a semi-batch type atomic layer deposition apparatus capable of simultaneously depositing thin films on a plurality of wafers is disclosed. In the conventional semi-batch type atomic layer deposition apparatus, a plurality of wafers are disposed radially along the circumferential direction on the susceptor, and as the susceptor rotates, source gas is sequentially sprayed onto the wafer to perform the deposition process.
However, as the susceptor on which the wafer is seated rotates at a high RPM, the wafer may not be stably seated on the susceptor and floats. In severe cases, the wafer may deviate from the susceptor, which causes the wafer to fail.
One object of an embodiment of the present invention for solving the above problems is a vacuum chucking susceptor capable of chucking a wafer seated on a susceptor by vacuum, and an atomic layer deposition apparatus including the same. To provide.
Another object of the present invention is to provide a vacuum chuck susceptor which does not damage a wafer by performing chucking of a wafer by a vacuum, and an atomic layer deposition apparatus including the same.
In addition, another object according to an embodiment of the present invention, by connecting a plurality of flow paths for providing a vacuum to the wafer with one vacuum pump, a vacuum chuck standing to perform the chucking of the plurality of wafers with one vacuum pump To provide a acceptor and an atomic layer deposition apparatus including the same.
