Description

TECHNICAL FIELD [0001] The present invention relates to an apparatus and a method for depositing a stacked atomic layer,

The present invention relates to a vapor deposition reactor and a method of forming a thin film using the same, and more particularly, to a process for forming a unit process chamber for an atomic layer deposition (ALD) Type atomic layer deposition apparatus and method.

In general, a method of depositing a thin film having a predetermined thickness on a substrate such as a semiconductor substrate or a glass substrate includes physical vapor deposition (PVD) using physical collision such as sputtering, And chemical vapor deposition (CVD).

However, in recent years, as the design rule of a semiconductor device has become finer, a thin film of a fine pattern is required and a step of a region where a thin film is formed is greatly increased, so that a fine pattern of atomic layer thickness is formed very uniformly But also the use of atomic layer deposition (ALD), which is excellent in step coverage, is increasing.

This atomic layer deposition method is similar to the general chemical vapor deposition method in that it utilizes a chemical reaction between gas molecules. However, unlike conventional CVD in which a plurality of gaseous molecules are injected into a process chamber at the same time and the resulting reaction product is deposited on the substrate, the atomic layer deposition method injects a gas containing one source material into the process chamber, There is a difference in that a product by chemical reaction between the source material at the substrate surface is deposited by chemically adsorbing the substrate and then introducing a gas containing another source material into the process chamber.

The atomic layer deposition method can be applied to a thin film encapsulation of an AMOLED display, a barrier film of a flexible substrate, a buffer layer of a solar cell, a high dielectric constant material for a ferroelectric capacitor for a semiconductor, Or aluminum (Al), a copper (Cu) wiring diffusion preventing film (TiN, TaN, etc.).

This atomic layer deposition method is currently being carried out by transferring a small-sized, batch-type, and scan-type small reactors used in plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) on a substrate or in the opposite manner.

First, in the sheet processing system, a process is performed after one sheet of substrate is loaded, and is composed of a moving susceptor for input / output and heating of a substrate, a diffuser (main body of a showerhead type) for feeding process gas and an exhaust section. However, in the single-wafer type, the chambers are very thick to prevent deformation of the process chambers and peripheral portions due to external atmospheric pressure during vacuum formation, and gate valves for carrying in / There is a problem that the productivity is remarkably reduced due to a rapid increase in consumption of raw precursor and reaction precursor, a rapid increase in maintenance cost, and an increase in process time due to an increase in adsorption-purge-reaction-purge time.

In order to solve the problem of increased maintenance cost and low productivity due to the large volume of raw material precursor and reaction precursor due to the large volume of conventional atomic layer deposition equipment, The process is carried out simultaneously. This arrangement type is partially applied to the solar cell process, however, there is a problem of simultaneous film formation on the front side as well as the back side of the substrate, uniformity of the thin film on many substrates and reproducibility, There is a problem to be done.

Next, in the scan type small reactor system, several small reactors corresponding to the length of one side of the substrate in the vacuum chamber are arranged and the substrates or the small reactors are reciprocated to form a film. However, It is difficult to control the perfect gas flow in a small reactor, and it is difficult to clearly separate the precursor of the raw material and the precursor of the reaction, so that there is a problem that particle issues arise.
