Description

EXHAUST METHOD, EXHAUST DEVICE AND SUBSTRATE PROCESSING
APPARATUS
Field of the Invention
The present invention relates to the technical field of microelectronics processing technology, and particularly relates to an exhaust method, an exhaust device and a substrate processing apparatus using the above exhaust method or the above exhaust device.
Background of the invention
During the manufacturing procedure of microelectronic products, it is required to perform various thin film preparation processes on the surface of the substrate. Wherein, a commonly used chemical vapor deposition (CVD) process is of a thin film preparation method which makes use of the chemical reaction between process gases to form a desired film on the surface of the substrate. Such a process can be used to prepare films with a variety of characteristics and uses, such as a crystalline film, an amorphous film, an insulating film, a conductive film and a protection film.
In the CVD process, uniformity of the prepared film is directly dependent on whether the process gas contacts the substrate fully and uniformly.
Currently, the commonly used CVD apparatus mainly uses one gas supply port and one exhaust port to import the process gas into the chamber via the gas supply port to participate into a corresponding chemical reaction and export the by-produces after the reaction and the process gas which doesn't fully react via the exhaust port, to thereby form a stable distribution of gas flow field inside the chamber. However, gas flow formed in such a gas supplying and exhausting solution is relatively unchanged so that stronger gas flow passes through some regions inside the chamber (such as regions close fo the gas supplying port and the exhaust port inside the chamber), and a relatively ample gas flow cannot always be obtained in other regions. The above un-uniform distribution of the process gas flow will in turn result in uniformity of the CVD process results.
To this end, one Japanese patent document: JPA No. 1984-3489738 discloses a CVD apparatus, which uses a complex substrate holding part and a complex partition plate device for guiding gas flow so as to enhance uniformity of the distribution of the process gas inside the chamber. However, since the substrate holding part and the partition plate device of the above 5s technical solution are of complex structures, thin films attached on the complex structures are apt to peel off to result in particle contamination. Moreover, the design solution of the above partition plate device is highly correlated with the chamber volume, and if the same partition plate device is installed in substrate processing chambers with different volumes, the resultant effects of gas distribution will differ much; thus, when applied to a substrate processing apparatus with a large volume, the partition plate device needs to be designed and manufactured newly, which will increase design cost and manufacturing cost of the apparatus to a certain degree.

Detailed Description of the Preferred Embodiments
In order to make persons skilled in the art better understand the technical solutions of the present invention, the exhaust method, the exhaust device and the substrate processing apparatus provided by the present invention will be described in detail in conjunction with the accompanying figures below.
The exhaust method provided by the present invention is used to exhaust gas in cooperation with the substrate processing chamber. Referring to Fig.1, the flow chart of the exhaust method provided by the present invention is iNustrated.
The exhaust method includes steps: 10) providing the substrate processing chamber with at least two exhaust ports and enabling exhaust speed of the respective exhaust ports to be controlled individually; 20) enabling the at least two exhaust ports to exhaust gas outwards at different exhaust speed. In this way, through the above at least two exhaust ports of which the exhaust speed can be controlled individually, a plurality of gas flow directions can be formed inside the substrate processing chamber, moreover, since the exhaust speed of the respective exhaust ports can be controlled individually, the exhaust speed of a certain exhaust port can be increased or decreased based on the processed substrates in an actual process, so as to change rate of the gas flow formed at the exhaust port, to increase or decrease gas supplying amount obtained by the substrates in this gas flow path, and eventually obtain relatively uniform processed substrates. Base on the above advantages, when the exhaust method provided by the present invention is used to exhaust gas, it is not required to provide a complex partition plate mechanism, thus avoiding the problem of particle contamination resulted from the partition plate mechanism efficiently. In addition, for substrate processing chambers of various volumes, the exhaust method provided by the present invention can be used to exhaust gas and a relatively uniform gas flow distribution can also be achieved in the respective substrate processing chambers.
In some embodiments, in order to achieve more uniform gas flow distribution, in the step 20), the exhaust speed of the respective exhaust ports can be varied with time. In this way, a dynamic gas flow distribution can be formed inside the chamber and the dynamic gas flow distribution may present a gas flow distribution along at least two directions inside the chamber and changing in strength with time; or present a gas flow distribution in any direction randomly occurring in the chamber; and preferably, present a gas flow distribution which rotates in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction in the chamber, and so on. As for the detail, please refer to the following embodiments.
In step 10) of an exhaust method according to an embodiment of the present invention, the substrate processing chamber has at least three exhaust ports. Normally, the above at least three exhaust ports are dispersedly arranged at different locations in the chamber, and in order to make the process gas uniformly distributed in the chamber, gas flow formed by the respective exhaust ports should cover all regions in the substrate processing chamber to the greatest extent.
In step 20) of the present embodiment, the exhaust speed of at least one exhaust port among the above at least three exhaust ports is larger than that of the others, and exhaust speed of the respective exhaust ports vary with time.
In this way, a rotatable gas flow can be formed in the substrate processing chamber, thus obtaining a relatively uniform process gas distribution along the circumferential and radial directions of the substrates.
Please referring to Fig.2, the schematic structural view of the substrate processing chamber applying the exhaust method provided by the present invention is illustrated. As shown in Fig.2, four exhaust ports (36-1, 36-2, 36-3 and 36-4) are provided around the substrate processing chamber and a gas supply port 23 is located at the center of the chamber. During a process, the exhaust speed of one exhaust port among the four exhaust ports (36-1, 36-2, 36-3 and 36-4) is made to be largest (the exhaust speed is represented by E in the Figure) and the exhaust speed of the other three exhaust ports are made to be approximately identical with each other; and the above largest exhaust speed E1 is made to move according to a specific rule among the respective exhaust ports, that is, the exhaust speed of one of the four exhaust ports (36-1, 36-2, 36-3 and 36-4) is made to be largest according to the specific rule, to form a dynamic gas flow distribution. it is easy to understand that, as an extreme condition of the present embodiment, the exhaust speed of the other three exhaust ports may be made to be zero.
Of course, in a practical application, it is also possible to make the exhaust speed of one exhaust port larger than that of the others and at the same time set the exhaust speed of the other exhaust ports according to the following rule: 1s the exhaust speed of an exhaust port is set according to a distance of this exhaust port from the above exhaust port with the largest exhaust speed, in particular, the larger the distance of this exhaust port from the exhaust port with the largest exhaust speed is, the smaller the exhaust speed of an exhaust port is. That is to say, the exhaust speed of the respective exhaust ports are gradually decreased from the above exhaust port with the largest exhaust speed, to make the gas flow vary as a whole and more smoothly, and eventually obtain more uniform processed substrates.
It is easy to understand that, after the exhaust speed of the respective exhaust ports have been set, the respective exhaust ports can successively obtain the largest exhaust speed in the order in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, to form a rotatable gas flow in the substrate processing chamber and in turn achieve more uniform process results. In particular, for example, the following method can be used to obtain the above rotatable gas flow: the above rotatable gas flow is formed by making exhaust speed of the respective exhaust ports continuously vary in the order in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction: or, the above rotatable gas flow is formed by making exhaust speed of the respective exhaust ports vary once every a predetermined period of time in the order in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction. Wherein, the above predetermined period of time may be a constant or a variable so that the above rotatable gas flow may rotate at a constant speed, a variable speed or a variable acceleration. When the above predetermined period of time is a constant, a gas flow varying at a constant speed is formed in the substrate processing chamber; when the above predetermined period of time is a variable varying with time, a gas flow moving at a variable speed or at a variable acceleration is formed in the substrate processing chamber. In a practical process, particular parameters such as the predetermined period of time and the exhaust speed can be flexibly set according to requirements of the practical process or experimental measurement and can be adjusted at any time.
It should be pointed out that, the above respective embodiments are just illustrative or preferable embodiments of the exhaust method provided by the present invention, and persons skilled in the art can make various modifications to and improvements on the respective steps of the method based on the above embodiments. For example, the exhaust speed of the respective exhaust ports may vary with time randomly or in a step fashion; in summary, all the technical solutions which can generate a dynamic gas flow distribution in the substrate processing chamber and are made based on the spirit and substance of the present invention should be considered to be within the protection scope of the present invention.
As can be seen from above, with the exhaust method provided by the present invention, an ample supply of gas flow can be obtained at any region in the substrate processing chamber, to increase uniformity of the processed substrates; moreover, since the above exhaust method is easy to be implemented and it is not required to provide a complex partition plate mechanism in the substrate processing chamber, the problem of particle contamination caused by the partition plate mechanism may be avoided efficiently; moreover, the exhaust method provided by the present invention can be applied to substrate processing apparatuses of various volumes and can achieve the same exhaust effect.
As an alternative technical solution, an exhaust device provided by the present invention is also used to cooperate with the substrate processing chamber to exhaust gas. The exhaust device includes at least two exhaust ports connected to the substrate processing chamber, wherein, the exhaust speed of the respective exhaust ports can be controlled individually. In this way, by means of the above at least two exhaust ports of which the exhaust speed can be individually controlled, a plurality of gas flow directions can be formed in the substrate processing chamber and flow rate in the various gas flow directions can be adjusted in a real-time manner according to requirements, to obtain an ample gas flow at any region in the chamber and in turn increase uniformity of the process results. Moreover, using the exhaust device provided by the present invention to exhaust gas, it is not required to provide a complex partition plate mechanism, avoiding the problem of particle contamination caused by the partition plate mechanism. Moreover, as for substrate processing chambers of various volumes, the exhaust device provided by the present invention can be used to exhaust gas, and a relatively uniform gas flow distribution can also be formed in each substrate processing chamber.
Please referring to Figs.3 and 4 together, wherein, Fig.3 is a principal block diagram of an exhaust device according to the first embodiment of the present invention; Fig.4 is a schematic structural view of the exhaust device of the embodiment illustrated in Fig.3. As shown in Figs. 3 and 4, the exhaust device in the present embodiment includes four exhaust ports 36 (i.e. 36-1, 36-2, 36-3 and 36-4) provided on the sidewall of the substrate processing chamber 13, the exhaust ports 36 are connected to dedicated and individual gas extraction devices respectively, and the exhaust speed of the respective exhaust ports 36 are adjusted by adjusting gas extraction speed of the respective gas extraction devices. As shown in Fig.4, the above gas extraction device may be a gas extraction pump, the present invention is not limited thereto and other gas extraction devices are applicable. In the present embodiment, since four exhaust ports are evenly provided around the chamber and each exhaust port is connected to one gas extraction pump, so when gas extraction speed of these four gas extraction pumps are successively controlled in the order in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction so that the gas extraction speed of the respective gas extraction pumps is gradually increased on by one, a rotatable and dynamic gas flow distribution may be formed in the chamber.
It should be pointed out that, in order to form the above rotatable gas flow, it is only required to meet a condition that at least three exhaust ports are dispersedly provided around the chamber, so the number of the exhaust ports is not only limited to four illustrated in Fig.4, and may be three, five or more, which should also fall within the protection scope of the present invention.
Please referring to Fig.5, a principal block diagram of the exhaust device according to the second embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. As shown in Fig.5, in the present embodiment, based on the above embodiments illustrated in Figs.3 and 4, an individual cross section adjusting valve is provided in an exhaust pipe between each exhaust port and its corresponding gas extraction device, in this way, by adjusting the cross section adjusting valves in the respective exhaust pipes, exhaust cross-sectional areas of the respective exhaust ports are adjusted and exhaust speed of the respective exhaust ports are in turn adjusted. Of course, as for the exhaust device in the present embodiment, it is also possible to adjust exhaust speed of the : respective exhaust ports by adjusting the respective cross section adjusting valves and gas extraction speed of the respective gas extraction devices simultaneously.
Please referring to Fig.6, the principal block diagram of the exhaust device according to the third embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. In the present embodiment, the respective exhaust ports are connected to the same gas extraction device via the individual exhaust pipes respectively, a cross section adjusting valve is provided in each exhaust pipe, and the exhaust cross-sectional area of the respective exhaust ports is adjusted by adjusting the cross section adjusting valves in the respective exhaust pipes to adjust exhaust speed of the respective exhaust ports.
Please referring to Fig.7, the principal block diagram of the exhaust device according to the fourth embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. The present embodiment is different from the embodiment illustrated in Fig.6 only in that all the exhaust ports are collectively connected to the same cross section adjusting valve, to collectively control exhaust speed of the respective exhaust ports by the same cross section adjusting valve.
It is easy to understand that, in the respective exhaust devices according to the embodiments of the present invention, it is intended to adjust exhaust speed of the respective exhaust ports by adjusting gas flow rate per unit area and/ or exhaust cross-sectional area of the respective exhaust ports; then a dynamically changing gas flow distribution is formed in the substrate processing chamber by reasonably setting exhaust speed of the respective exhaust ports and making it vary dynamically with time. Preferably, a dedicated exhaust speed controlling module may be provided to control exhaust speed of the respective exhaust ports to enable the respective exhaust ports to exhaust gas outwards at different exhaust speed and enable exhaust speed of the respective exhaust ports to vary with time. In particular, with this exhaust speed controlling module, it is possible to enable exhaust speed of the respective exhaust ports to be largest successively in the order of the clockwise or counterclockwise direction along which these exhaust ports are arranged, in other words, the exhaust speed controlling module can control the exhaust speed of the respective exhaust ports to be largest successively along ' the clockwise or counterclockwise direction, to form a rotatable gas flow rotating along the clockwise or counterclockwise direction in the substrate processing chamber; of course, it is also possible fo form gas flow changing according to other rules or changing randomly etc. in the chamber using the exhaust speed controlling module. In a practical application, for example, the above exhaust speed controlling module may be implemented using a programmable controlling device such as a single chip microcomputer.
Please referring to Fig.8, a cross-sectional view of the first cross section adjusting valve used in the exhaust device provided by the present invention is illustrated. The cross section adjusting valve includes a valve body 51, a gas outlet 59 communicating with the valve body 51, at least three gas inlets 56 (56-1, 56-2, 56-3 and 56-4) which are dispersedly arranged and a rotatable valve core 52 provided inside the cross section adjusting valve; wherein, the gas outlet 59 is connected to one gas extraction device, and the at least three gas inlets 56 are correspondingly connected to the respective exhaust ports respectively; the rotatable valve core 52 is used to enable gas inlet speed of the respective gas inlets 56 to switch sequentially with time in a clockwise or counterclockwise direction, to enable exhaust speed of the respective exhaust ports correspondingly connected to the respective gas inlets 56 to switch sequentially in the clockwise or counterclockwise direction, that is, exhaust speed of the respective exhaust ports correspondingly connected to the respective gas inlets 56 are gradually changed along the clockwise direction or gradually changed along the counterclockwise direction, as the reference number 54 shown in Fig.8.
As shown in the Figure, in the present embodiment, the valve body 51 is configured to have the shape of a cylinder, the gas outlet 59 communicates with one end face of the cylindrical valve body 51, and a plurality of gas inlets 56 (four gas inlets 56-1, 56-2, 56-3 and 56-4 in this embodiment) communicate with the side face of the cylindrical valve body 51. In the present embodiment, it is preferable to make the four gas inlets 56 evenly distributed on the circumference of the valve body 51, and in a practical application, the number of the gas inlets 56 can also be decreased or increased according to requirements (there are at least two gas inlets; in some preferable embodiments, there are at least three gas inlets), and the gas inlets 56 are connected to the side face of the valve body 51 in an uneven arrangement manner.
The valve core 52 is of a hollow tubular structure and can rotate around the central axis of the valve body 51. A through hole 53 is provided on the side face of the tubular valve core 52, the gas inlets 56 communicate with the gas outlet 59 via the through hole 53, and there is a certain gap 55 between the valve core 52 and the valve body 51. The gas inlet 56 facing directly toward the above through hole 53 can obtain the largest gas inlet speed, enabling the exhaust port connected with this gas inlet 56 to obtain the largest exhaust speed, as the reference number 57 shown in Fig.8; as the valve core 52 rotates, the respective gas inlets 56 obtain the largest gas inlet speed one by one, and accordingly the respective exhaust ports obtain the largest exhaust speed one by one. At the same time, the gas inlets 56 which have not faced directly toward the above through hole 53 can indirectly communicate with the above gas outlet 59 via the above gap 55, to obtain a relatively small gas inlet speed; and, flow rate of each gas inlet 56 may be also affected by the current distance of the position of the gas inlet 56 from the through hole 53 on the valve core 52. Taking the position of the valve core 52 shown in Fig. 8 as an example, the gas inlet 56-3 is farthest from the through hole 53, so its flow rate
P3 is smallest; and the gas inlet 56-1 is facing directly toward the through hole 53, so its flow rate P1 is the largest, and larger than that of the other gas inlets; flow rate P2 and flow rate P4 of the other two gas inlets 56-2 and 56-4 are between the flow rate P1 and the flow rate P3.
It should be understood that, the number of the through hole 53 on the above valve core 52 is not limited to one in the present embodiment and may be increased according to requirements so that two or more gas inlets 56 can obtain the largest flow rate simultaneously; moreover, on basis of providing a plurality of through holes 53 on the valve core 52, the through holes 53 are set to have cross sections of different sizes, so that the flow rate of the respective gas inlets 56 may be controlled by the sizes of cross sections of the respective through holes 53; in addition, the through hole 53 in the present embodiment may be of other shapes, as long as the used shape meets the condition that the fluid can pass through smoothly.
In addition, the cross section adjusting valve includes a valve core driving part for driving the valve core to rotate at a predetermined speed along a predetermined direction (not shown in the Figures). In a practical application, the above valve core driving part may be implemented by various devices, such as an electric motor, a hydraulic motor. Moreover, the above valve core driving part may be controlled by preset computer program to control parameters such as the rotation direction and speed of the valve core, and the varying frequency of the rotation direction and/or speed of the valve core, to meet requirements in different processes.
Please referring to Fig.9, a schematic structural view of the cross section adjusting valve according to the second embodiment of the present invention is illustrated. In particular, Fig.9(A) is a front cross-sectional view of the cross section adjusting valve provided by the present embodiment; and Fig.9(B) is a left view of the cross section adjusting valve provided by the present embodiment. As shown in the Figures, the shape of the valve body 61 is similar to that of the valve body 51 in the above embodiment illustrated in Fig.
8, the gas outlets 67 are provided on the side face of the cylindrical valve body 61, four gas inlets 66 (66-1, 66-2, 66-3 and 66-4) are evenly provided on one end face of the valve core 61 and distances of the respective gas inlets 66 from the center of the circular end face, on which the gas inlets 66 are located, are substantially identical with each other.
In the present embodiment, the valve core 62 is configured to be a disc and corresponding to positions of the gas outlet 67 and the gas inlets 66, the valve core 62 is provided with a through hole 63 for communicating the gas outlet 67 with the gas inlets 66.

When any gas inlet 66 is facing directly toward the through hole 63, flow rate p of the gas inlet 66 will reach the largest value. Therefore, as the valve core 62 rotates, the gas inlets 66 may obtain the largest flow rate one by one. In the present embodiment, the valve core 62 and the valve body 61 have a certain gas 65 therebetween, to allow the gas inlets 66 which have not reached the largest flow rate to communicate with the gas outlet 67 with relatively small flow rate.

It is obvious that, the cross section adjusting valve in the present embodiment has the same or similar working principle as that of the above cross section adjusting valve illustrated in Fig.8 and the only difference : therebetween is the structure of the valve core as well as positions of the gas inlets 66 and the gas outlet 67, therefore the same exhaust effect can be achieved.
Fig.10 is a cross-sectional view of the third cross section adjusting valve used in the exhaust device provided by the present invention. In the present embodiment, the valve body 71 of the cross section adjusting valve is provided with four gas inlets 76 (i.e. 76-1, 78-2, 76-3 and 76-4) thereon, and a rotatable valve core 72 (i.e. 72-1, 72-2, 72-3 and 72-4} is provided in each gas inlet 76 respectively. Through controlling rotation of the respective valve cores 72, gas inlet speed of the respective gas inlets 76 can be individually controlled, and in turn exhaust speed of the respective exhaust ports are controlled individually.

Please referring to Fig.12, a schematic view of the substrate processing apparatus according to one specific embodiment of the present invention is ilustrated. As shown in the Figure, in the present embodiment, a substrate processing chamber 100 provided with a single layer of tray 22 is used. The substrate processing chamber 100 is provided with a gas supply port 80 and four exhaust ports 36 (i.e. 36-1, 36-2, 36-3 and 36-4, and only 36-1 and 36-3 are visible in the cross-sectional view illustrated in Fig.12) evenly provided on : the circumference of the substrate processing chamber 100, wherein, the gas supply port 80 is approximately located above the center of the tray 22, and the four exhaust ports 36 are evenly distributed in the periphery of the tray 22.
