Abstract

A cooled dark space shield for a multi-cathode, large area PVD apparatus is disclosed. For multi-cathode systems, a dark space shield between adjacent cathodes/targets may be beneficial. The shields may be grounded and provide a path to ground for electrons present within a sputtering plasma. Because the shields are between adjacent targets, the grounded shields may contribute to the formation of a uniform plasma within the processing space by acting as anodes. As the temperatures in the chamber fluxuate between a processing temperature and a downtime temperature, the shields may expand and contract. Cooling the shields reduces the likelihood of expansion and contraction and thus, reduces the amount of flaking that may occur. Embossing the surface of the shields may reduce the amount of material deposited onto the shields and control the expansion and contraction of the shields.

In the PVD process, the dry material can be biased by two forces so that the ions generated in the treatment zone bombard the surface of the target with sufficient energy to strike the atoms from the target. The process of applying a bias to the target to create a plasma, thereby creating an ion bombardment of the target surface and removing atoms from the surface of the target is commonly referred to as sputtering. The sputtered atoms generally travel toward the substrate to be sputtered, and the sputtered atoms are deposited on the substrate. Alternatively, the atom reacts with a gas in the plasma, such as nitrogen, to deposit a compound on the substrate in a responsive manner. Reactive deposition is often used to form a thin barrier layer of titanium nitride or tantalum nitride on a substrate (barrier laye or nucleation layers) direct current (DC) flash and alternating current (AC) sputtering In the form of a shot, the target is biased to attract ions toward the target during sputtering. A negative bias of between -100 volts (V) and -600 V can be applied to the target to attract The positive ions formed by the working gas (such as argon) advance toward the target to emit a few atoms. Usually, the sides of the sputtering chamber are covered with a mask to protect the chamber from the deposition. Electrically grounded to provide an anode opposite the target's polarity to capacitively connect the target power source to the plasma generated in the sputtering chamber 5 200823308. During sputtering, the material is sputtered and deposited onto The material deposited on the exposed surface of the chamber and the surface of the road surface may be peeled off and contaminated. Therefore, there is a need in the art for a method for reducing substrate contamination by shovel and soil.

The chamber will expand due to the chamber temperature: the temperature fluctuates between the processing temperature and the shutdown temperature. Cooling the mask reduces the likelihood of expansion and contraction, and reduces the amount of flaking that can occur. Embossing the surface of the mask reduces the amount of material that accumulates on the mask and controls the expansion of the mask and Shrinking.

本發明揭示一種用於多陰極、大面積PVD裝置的冷卻 式暗區遮罩。對於多陰極系統而言,在相鄰的陰極 (cathode)/乾材之間設置暗區遮罩是有益的。遮罩可以接 地’並爲出現在濺射電漿中的電子提供接地路徑。由於遮 罩位於相鄰的靶材之間,接地的遮罩可作爲陽極(an〇de)以 助於在處理空間内形成均勻的電漿。由於腔室内的温度在 處理溫度和停機温度之間波動,遮罩會膨脹和收縮。對遮 罩進行冷卻能減小發生膨脹和收縮的可能性,從而降低了 可能發生的剝落量 對遮罩的表面進行壓花(Ernb〇ssing) 7A cooled dark zone mask for a multi-cathode, large area PVD device is disclosed. For multi-cathode systems, it is beneficial to provide a dark area mask between adjacent cathodes/dry materials. The mask can be grounded and provide a ground path for the electrons present in the sputtered plasma. Since the mask is located between adjacent targets, the grounded mask acts as an anode to help form a uniform plasma in the processing space. Since the temperature in the chamber fluctuates between the processing temperature and the shutdown temperature, the mask expands and contracts. Cooling the hood reduces the likelihood of expansion and contraction, which reduces the amount of flaking that can occur. Embossing the surface of the mask (Ernb〇ssing) 7

It should be understood, however, that other system configurations of sputter materials include those configured to be used in the substrate. The United States submitted on September 13, 2005 and the full text of this document is hereby incorporated by reference as the demand for larger flat panel display devices has increased. As the size of the substrate increases, the splash will inevitably increase. It is common for flat panel display devices and sputtering targets with solar power greater than 1 meter. It is very difficult and difficult to obtain a large molybdenum plate (i.e., 丨8m 2.5mx 2.8mx10mm, etc.) by using a single sputtering target of a large size and is quite expensive. The target requires a lot of money, ^ / V. One-piece heartwood for production one can be: $10,000. Therefore, considering the cost 4 alone, the use of nitrogen can still achieve the deposition of a large area of the target. These targets can have different compositions of ^ ^ . ^ 1 P-passenger substrate and chamber scale +, one size increase brings the challenge of uniform deposition. The expansion and contraction of electrons in the gossip. Explain the PVD system company of the company (Applied AKT8 can also be applied to the sample system of the PolyU area patent application, 'the size of the substrate is also the size of the dry material, the length of the key block material to take responsibility For example, • 2rnxl〇mm, large area of molybdenum (ie, costing 1 to 500 smaller target homogenizations would be very challenging, one of which attracted to the device 8 200823308 Traditionally, the chamber wall and the pedestal or substrate slab are grounded to function as an anode, as opposed to a sputtering target as a cathode. The grounded chamber wall as an anode attracts the plasma. Electrons, therefore, tend to form high-density electricity near the walls of the chamber. The density of plasma near the walls of the μ chamber may increase the deposition on the substrate adjacent the walls of the chamber, as follows: The deposition on the substrate. On the other hand, the grounded pedestal also functions as an anode. The pedestal may span most of the length of the processing space. Because 舲, the pedestal can not only provide electrons at the edge of the pedestal. The grounding path, and also provides a grounding path for the electrons in the middle of the pedestal. Since the mother anode, whether it is the chamber wall or the pedestal, the anode is equally formed and the plasma is evenly dispersed throughout the processing space. The ground path of the middle portion of the pedestal compensates for the pedestal edge and the chamber wall: the ground path. By uniformly distributing the plasma in the processing space, uniform deposition is achieved throughout the substrate. When the substrate is an insulating substrate (such as glass or polymer), the substrate does not conduct =, so electrons cannot pass through the substrate. As a result, when the substrate substantially covers the substrate branch, the pedestal support cannot provide sufficient anode surface. In the case of a solar panel or a (four) board display device, the size of the substrate that blocks the ground path through the pedestal may be very large. In the field of flat panel displays, the size is 1 meter square. It is very common. For the lmxim substrate, the (4) path through the pedestal is blocked by the area of 1 square / Λ Μ Μ 2 1 ^ tq 尺. The covered chamber wall and the pedestal edge are the quasi-grounding path of the plasma electrons. There is no grounding path near the center of a board. If the large-area substrate is: Yanxin 9 200823308: There is another chamber covered by the substrate A high-density plasma is formed near the edge of the wall and the pedestal. The high-density plasma preparation near the chamber wall and the pedestal edge becomes thinner near the center of the treatment zone without the ground path. In the vicinity; in the case of a grounding path, the plasma may not be uniform, and deposition on a large-area substrate may also be uneven.

It should be understood that although six sputtering targets 204a to 204f are illustrated, more or more dry materials 204a to 204f may be used. Further, although the cartridges J 204a to 204f shown in the drawing are in the form of sputtering target strips, the present invention can also be designed in a variety of configurations. For example, a sputter target strip composed of a plurality of sputtering targets can be used. An exemplary sputter dry material that can be joined together to sputter a dry bar is described in U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 1 1/4 24,467, issued June 15, 2006, and U.S. Patent Application Serial No. 11/424,478.

As described above, the 'beam assembly* 卞4 1 2 and the dark area mask 4 1 4 can be grounded to effectively function as an anode. The unique design of the multi-cathode PVD device allows the anode to be placed in the process of both exteriors but still achieves uniformity of electropolymerization. For a plurality of money target strips spaced apart across the common backing plate (or each sputtering target having its own backing plate), there is a gap between adjacent sputtering targets. The spacing between the targets can avoid arcing. Since the anode helps to reduce the occurrence of electricity, it is advantageous to provide an anode in the space between adjacent Tibetan materials. Since the beam assembly 412 does not block any lining of sight between the sputtering targets 4〇2a, 4〇2b to the substrate, the beam assembly 4 1 2 is disposed between the sputtering coffin assemblies. advantageous. By providing the beam assembly 412 adjacent the sputter targets 402a, 402b, the shielding of the substrate by the anode can be reduced. It may be necessary to have beam assembly 412 over sputtering targets 402a, 402b 14 200823308

而延伸到處理空間中。當材料從濺射靶材402a、402b中濺 射出來時,村料可能會沿著所有的方向行進。因此,從避 射靶材402a' 402b濺射出的材料可能會沈積在樑組件412 上。故使暗區遮罩4 1 4與所述樑組件4丨2連接。從錢射乾 材402a ' 402b濺射出的任何材料會沈積在暗區遮罩414 上,而不是沉積樑組件412上。暗區遮罩414可以更換和/ 或清洗,從而樑組件412可以無限次地重 時當需要更換和/或清洗暗區遮罩414時,可以把暗區遮: 414從樑組件412上拆卸下來。暗區遮罩414可以是彎曲 的,以減少可能沈積到暗區遮罩4丨4上的材料量。 PVD裝置400内的溫度可能在處理溫度和停機溫度之 ::波動。處理溫度可以高到使腔室部件變成「紅熱」的狀 態。停機溫度則可以低到室内溫度度的波動,暗 區遮罩414會膨脹和收縮。當暗區遮罩414膨服和收縮時, 沈積到暗區遮罩414上的材料可能會剝落並污染基板。此 外’處理溫度可能會接近或超過藏射材料的熔點。如果任 ^射村料落到暗區遮罩414上並達到機射材料的炫點, 制積的材料可能會…遮罩414上滴落並污染基板。控 #暗區料414的溫度是非常有利的,因爲這樣可以減小 曰&amp;遮罩414的膨脹和收縮情形。此外,暗區遮罩414的 溫度可以控制爲保持低於滅射材料的熔點,從而減少任何 滴到基板上的滴落物。 在樑主體 通道420因此 426内设置有至少一個冷卻通道42〇。冷卻 而可貼近樑主體426和暗區遮罩414。冷卻 15 200823308 通道420可以是穿過樑組件412之樑主® 426的連續通 道,或者其也可以是多個冷卻通道420 °冷卻通道420被 密封元件422密封,以保證冷卻流禮不會進入處理空間而 污染基板。冷卻流體可以是現有技術中已知的任何冷卻流 體。在一實施例中,冷卻流體爲水。在另一實施例中,冷 卻流體爲氣態的。 第5圖爲根據本發明另一實施例之設置在相鄰靶材組 件之間的樑組件截面圖。冷卻通道5 2 0可以設置在暗區遮 罩530的雕刻部(carved out portion)内’並被冷卻通道框 架514包圍。從而使冷卻通道520貼近樑主體526。 第6圖爲根據本發明一實施例之暗區遮罩600的立體 示意圖。在一實施例中,暗區遮罩600被壓花,使得在其 朝向PVD腔室内之處理空間的表面上出現一個或多個突 出部6〇2、6〇4。突出部602、6〇4可以是獨立且實質爲正 方形的突出部602、長矩形的突出部604或其組合。暗區 遮罩600上的突出部6〇2、6〇4提供了在沈積過程中濺=材 料可能會沈積的多個較小表面。但暗區遮罩6〇〇的壓花表 面對暗區遮罩6GG任何可能的膨脹和收縮過程中是有益處 的。在溫度的變化過程中,可以是突出部6〇2、6〇4膨脹和 收縮,而不疋整個暗區遮罩6〇〇膨脹和收縮。因此,突出 部602、604可以減少可能發生的剝落量。在一實施例中, 大出邛602的表面積約爲25平方毫米。相對於使用例如喷 珠處理等簡單處理方法使表面變粗Μ,壓花由於提供了更 大的表面積使得暗區遮罩6〇〇在更換前能夠沈積更多的材 16And extend into the processing space. When the material is spattered from the sputter targets 402a, 402b, the material may travel in all directions. Therefore, material sputtered from the avoidance target 402a' 402b may deposit on the beam assembly 412. Therefore, the dark area mask 4 14 is connected to the beam assembly 4丨2. Any material sputtered from the carbon shot dry material 402a '402b will deposit on the dark area mask 414 instead of the deposition beam assembly 412. The dark area mask 414 can be replaced and/or cleaned so that the beam assembly 412 can be infinitely heavy. When the dark area mask 414 needs to be replaced and/or cleaned, the dark area can be removed 414 from the beam assembly 412. . The dark area mask 414 can be curved to reduce the amount of material that may be deposited onto the dark area mask 4丨4. The temperature within the PVD device 400 may fluctuate between the processing temperature and the shutdown temperature. The processing temperature can be high enough to cause the chamber components to become "red hot". The shutdown temperature can be as low as the indoor temperature fluctuation, and the dark area mask 414 will expand and contract. When the dark area mask 414 is swollen and shrunk, the material deposited onto the dark area mask 414 may peel off and contaminate the substrate. In addition, the processing temperature may approach or exceed the melting point of the photographic material. If any of the shots fall onto the dark area mask 414 and reach the dazzling point of the machine material, the resulting material may ... drop on the mask 414 and contaminate the substrate. Controlling the temperature of the dark zone material 414 is highly advantageous because it reduces the expansion and contraction of the 曰&amp; mask 414. In addition, the temperature of the dark area mask 414 can be controlled to remain below the melting point of the extinguishing material, thereby reducing any dripping onto the substrate. At least one cooling passage 42 is disposed within the beam body passage 420 thus 426. Cooled to be adjacent to the beam body 426 and the dark area mask 414. Cooling 15 200823308 Channel 420 may be a continuous passage through beam master® 426 of beam assembly 412, or it may be a plurality of cooling passages 420 ° Cooling passage 420 is sealed by sealing element 422 to ensure that cooling flow does not enter the process Space contaminates the substrate. The cooling fluid can be any cooling fluid known in the art. In an embodiment, the cooling fluid is water. In another embodiment, the cooling fluid is gaseous. Figure 5 is a cross-sectional view of a beam assembly disposed between adjacent target assemblies in accordance with another embodiment of the present invention. The cooling passages 520 may be disposed within the carved out portion of the dark area shield 530 and surrounded by the cooling passage frame 514. The cooling passage 520 is thus brought close to the beam body 526. Figure 6 is a perspective view of a dark area mask 600 in accordance with an embodiment of the present invention. In one embodiment, the dark area mask 600 is embossed such that one or more protrusions 6〇2, 6〇4 appear on its surface facing the processing space within the PVD chamber. The projections 602, 6〇4 can be separate and substantially square projections 602, long rectangular projections 604, or a combination thereof. The projections 6〇2, 6〇4 on the dark area mask 600 provide a plurality of smaller surfaces that may be deposited during the deposition process. However, the 6 mm embossed table in the dark area is beneficial for any possible expansion and contraction of the dark area mask 6GG. During the change in temperature, the projections 6〇2, 6〇4 may be expanded and contracted without expanding and contracting the entire dark area mask. Therefore, the projections 602, 604 can reduce the amount of peeling that may occur. In one embodiment, the large exit pupil 602 has a surface area of about 25 square millimeters. The surface is roughened relative to a simple treatment such as a bead treatment, and the embossing allows for a larger surface area to allow the dark area mask 6 to deposit more material before replacement.
