Description
The present invention relates to a low pressure chemical vapor deposition apparatus, and more particularly, to a low pressure chemical vapor deposition apparatus in which a polysilicon deposition process is performed.
Low Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (hereinafter referred to as PCVD) apparatus is a device for depositing a desired film on the upper surface of a polysilicon by supplying gas while maintaining a low pressure in a vapor deposition tube.
The LPCVD apparatus can include a boat in which a plurality of polysilicon are seated at different heights, and a deposition tube that surrounds the boat and deposits a plurality of polysilicon seated in the boat.
The polysilicon may be formed in a disc shape, and one side of the two sides may be a front side where a semiconductor chip can be formed after a plurality of processes, and the other side Back side ".
When the polysilicon is deposited inside the deposition tube, it can be deposited in a state in which the front side is directed upward and the backside is directed downward. On the contrary, when the front side is directed downward and the backside is directed upward It is also possible to deposit them in a state of being exposed.
Polysilicon may be deposited by an LPCVD apparatus and then post-processed such as a polishing process. The quality may vary depending on the direction in which the polysilicon is placed in the deposition tube.
An object of the present invention is to provide a low pressure chemical vapor deposition apparatus capable of minimizing the defective ratio of polysilicon and simplifying the internal structure.
The present invention relates to a cassette rack for loading a cassette containing polysilicon therein; A cassette loader for loading the cassette into the cassette rack; A boat for raising the polysilicon; A polysilicon transfer for withdrawing polysilicon from a cassette loaded in the cassette rack and loading the polysilicon into the boat; And a deposition tube for depositing polysilicon loaded with the boat, the cassette loader comprising: a loader plate; And a handle holder which is provided on the loader plate and holds a handle protruding from the cassette.
The handle holder includes a first holder on which the handle is lifted; And a second holder having a cover portion surrounding the part of the handle and an upper holder portion protruding from the upper portion of the cover portion and covering an upper end of the handle.
The first holder includes a protrusion inserted into a space formed in the handle, and a seating groove recessed to receive the handle. The protrusion and the seating groove may be formed on the upper surface of the first holder.
The cassette loader may further include a cassette supporter protruded from the rotor plate and on which the cassette is mounted.
The cassette supporter is protruded and installed on the loader plate, and the pair can be spaced apart from each other in the horizontal direction.
The pair of cassette supporters may be spaced apart by an interval smaller than the width of the cassette.
The cassette includes a cassette body having a space in which a wafer is received and seated in the supporter, a first lower plate protruding downward from one side of the cassette body, and a second lower plate protruding downward from the other side of the cassette body, And a second bottom plate spaced apart from the first bottom plate in a horizontal direction, wherein one of the pair of cassette supporters is formed with a first avoiding groove portion that avoids the first bottom plate, and the other of the pair of cassette supporters And one of the second avoidance grooves may be recessed to avoid the second bottom plate.
The cassette rack may include at least one seating plate on which the cassette is seated, and the seating plate may be formed with a loader hole through which the loader plate passes, It can be raised and seated.
The loader hole may be formed larger than the handle.
And a pair of cassette guides for guiding the cassette may be disposed on the seating plate.
The present invention minimizes the percentage of defects that can occur when the front side of the polysilicon is directed upwardly of the deposition tube without any additional equipment for reversing the cassette and when the backside of the polysilicon is oriented toward the top of the deposition tube There is an advantage to be able to.
In addition, since the cassette is moved in a state in which the cassette loader catches the protruding handle on the cassette, the possibility that the cassette falls off the cassette loader can be minimized, and the cassette can be moved with high stability.
In addition, since the cassette supporter supports the cassette together with the cassette holder, there is an advantage that the cassette loaded with the polysilicon can be moved with high safety.
There is also the advantage that the cassette rack can help smoothly seat the cassette in the cassette rack without interfering with the entry of the handle.
