Description

下電極組件及電漿處理裝置Lower electrode assembly and plasma treatment device

本發明涉及半導體器件及其製造領域,尤其涉及一種下電極組件及其電漿處理裝置。The present invention relates to the field of semiconductor devices and their manufacturing, and in particular to a lower electrode assembly and its plasma treatment device.

生產積體電路等半導體器件、有源無源電子元器件,甚至是一些工業產品,需要多種積成減成以及輔助工藝,諸如沉積、蝕刻、離子注入等等,用到多種工藝裝置。在摩爾定律的驅動下元器件精密度逐年革新,這很大程度歸功於新技術新方法不斷引入,其中電漿這一干法工藝技術扮演著舉足輕重的角色,逐漸成為半導體工藝核心技術之一。The production of semiconductor devices such as integrated circuits, active and passive electronic components, and even some industrial products requires a variety of integration and auxiliary processes, such as deposition, etching, ion implantation, etc., using a variety of process equipment. Driven by Moore's Law, the precision of components is improving year by year. This is largely due to the continuous introduction of new technologies and methods. Among them, plasma, a dry process technology, plays a decisive role and has gradually become one of the core technologies of semiconductor processes.

在電漿處理裝置中,反應腔室內配置一對平行電極板(上電極和下電極),射頻功率源將高頻施加在下(或上)電極上,通常施加在下電極上,射頻電流從下電極耦合到上電極上,再通過反應腔體接地形成射頻回路,在電極間形成高頻電場,利用該高頻電場將工藝氣體激發為電漿。下電極上還施加有偏置功率源,用於控制電漿的鞘層厚度和直流偏壓。這些電漿在偏置功率源的電場作用後與基片表面發生物理轟擊作用及化學反應,從而對基片表面進行處理,例如對基片表面進行清洗或蝕刻。In the plasma treatment device, a pair of parallel electrode plates (upper electrode and lower electrode) is configured in the reaction chamber. The radio frequency power source applies high frequency to the lower (or upper) electrode, usually to the lower electrode, and the radio frequency current flows from the lower electrode. Coupled to the upper electrode, and then grounded through the reaction cavity to form a radio frequency loop, a high-frequency electric field is formed between the electrodes, and the high-frequency electric field is used to excite the process gas into plasma. A bias power source is also applied to the lower electrode to control the plasma sheath thickness and DC bias. These plasmas undergo physical bombardment and chemical reactions with the substrate surface under the action of the electric field of the bias power source, thereby processing the substrate surface, such as cleaning or etching the substrate surface.

由於電漿大致為橢球形,基片中央區域上方的電漿較強(分佈較密集),基片邊緣區域上方的電漿較弱(分佈較稀疏),這使得基片中央區域蝕刻速率較快、邊緣區域蝕刻速率較慢,出現蝕刻不均勻問題。而且,電漿基本覆蓋整個基片,難以對基片進行局部處理。Since the plasma is roughly ellipsoidal, the plasma above the central area of the substrate is stronger (more densely distributed), and the plasma above the edge area of the substrate is weaker (distributed more sparsely), which results in a faster etching rate in the central area of the substrate. , The etching rate in the edge area is slow, and uneven etching occurs. Moreover, the plasma basically covers the entire substrate, making it difficult to perform local treatment on the substrate.

本發明提出了一種下電極組件及電漿處理裝置,將下電極中的靜電圖形化電極及射頻圖形化電極分別劃分為若干個直流電極單元及射頻電極單元,射頻電流通過射頻電極單元耦合到與所述射頻電極單元對應的直流電極單元上,而後再耦合到上電極,通過控制輸入到每個射頻電極單元上的電流強度,可調節射頻電極單元上方對應的電漿的鞘層厚度及直流偏壓大小,進而調節該電漿的轟擊方向及強度,實現射頻電場的局部精確調整和動態控制。The present invention proposes a lower electrode assembly and a plasma treatment device.

圖1示例性的示出一種電漿處理裝置的結構示意圖。電漿處理裝置包含反應腔2,所述反應腔2用於對基片進行處理。所述反應腔2內包含相對設置的上電極組件1和下電極組件4,上、下電極組件之間形成處理區域。一個或多個高頻功率源(包括源射頻功率源與偏置射頻功率源)可以被單獨地施加在下電極組件4或同時被施加在上電極組件1與下電極組件4上,在處理區域內形成高頻電場。本實施例中,高頻功率源施加在下電極組件4上。該高頻電場對少量存在於處理區域內的電子進行加速,使之與反應腔2內工藝氣體的氣體分子碰撞。這些碰撞導致反應氣體的離子化和電漿的激發,從而在處理腔體內產生基本覆蓋整個基片的電漿。Figure 1 illustrates a schematic structural diagram of a plasma treatment device. The plasma processing device includes a reaction chamber 2, which is used to process the substrate. The reaction chamber 2 contains an upper electrode assembly 1 and a lower electrode assembly 4 arranged opposite each other, and a processing area is formed between the upper and lower electrode assemblies. One or more high-frequency power sources (including source RF power sources and bias RF power sources) may be applied to the lower electrode assembly 4 individually or simultaneously to the upper electrode assembly 1 and the lower electrode assembly 4 within the treatment area. A high frequency electric field is formed. In this embodiment, a high-frequency power source is applied to the lower electrode assembly 4 . The high-frequency electric field accelerates a small amount of electrons existing in the processing area, causing them to collide with gas molecules of the process gas in the reaction chamber 2 . These collisions result in ionization of the reactive gases and excitation of the plasma, thereby generating a plasma within the processing chamber that substantially covers the entire substrate.

圖2示出一種下電極組件的結構示意圖。在該圖所示的結構中,下電極組件4包含:基座11,用於承載靜電卡盤8。所述基座11的材質通常為導電的金屬材質,如鋁,當高頻功率源連接到基座11上時,基座11可視為一個等勢體。本實施例中,所述基座11連接有源射頻功率源5,用於激發產生電漿。其他實施例中,所述基座11連接偏置射頻功率源,用於控制電漿的能量分佈。所述靜電卡盤8用於吸附固定基片3,其中設有方形虛線框圈出的靜電圖形化電極12,所述靜電圖形化電極12包含多個直流電極單元15。所述直流電極單元15施加正的直流電壓時,直流電極單元15產生的電場會導致靜電卡盤8上方的固定基片3極化,為了中和基片產生的電荷,在基片的表面產生負電位,不同極性的電位之間產生的庫侖力可以使固定基片3吸附於靜電卡盤8上。所述靜電卡盤8可採用陶瓷結構。Figure 2 shows a schematic structural diagram of a lower electrode assembly. In the structure shown in this figure, the lower electrode assembly 4 includes: a base 11 for carrying the electrostatic chuck 8 . The base 11 is usually made of a conductive metal material, such as aluminum. When a high-frequency power source is connected to the base 11, the base 11 can be regarded as an equipotential body. In this embodiment, the base 11 is connected to an active radio frequency power source 5 for exciting and generating plasma. In other embodiments, the base 11 is connected to a bias radio frequency power source for controlling the energy distribution of the plasma. The electrostatic chuck 8 is used to adsorb and fix the substrate 3 , and is provided with an electrostatic patterned electrode 12 enclosed by a square dotted line frame. The electrostatic patterned electrode 12 includes a plurality of DC electrode units 15 . When the DC electrode unit 15 applies a positive DC voltage, the electric field generated by the DC electrode unit 15 will cause the fixed substrate 3 above the electrostatic chuck 8 to be polarized. In order to neutralize the charge generated by the substrate, an electric field is generated on the surface of the substrate. Negative potential and the Coulomb force generated between potentials of different polarities can cause the fixed substrate 3 to be adsorbed on the electrostatic chuck 8 . The electrostatic chuck 8 may adopt a ceramic structure.

繼續如圖2所示,所述基座11與所述靜電卡盤8之間還設有橢圓形虛線框圈出的射頻圖形化電極9,所述射頻圖形化電極9與所述基座11之間設置一絕緣層10。所述射頻圖形化電極9包含有多個射頻電極單元14,所述射頻電極單元14的上方對應至少一個所述直流電極單元15。Continuing to show in Figure 2, a radio frequency patterned electrode 9 enclosed by an oval dotted line is also disposed between the base 11 and the electrostatic chuck 8. The radio frequency patterned electrode 9 and the base 11 An insulation layer 10 is arranged between them. The radio frequency patterned electrode 9 includes a plurality of radio frequency electrode units 14 , and above the radio frequency electrode unit 14 corresponds to at least one DC electrode unit 15 .

當射頻功率源連接至所述射頻電極單元14上時,因為固定基片3和射頻電極單元14之間還設置有直流電極單元15,所以射頻電流會先耦合到與所述射頻電極單元14對應的所述直流電極單元15上,再作用到所述反應區域的電漿鞘層上,由此,根據射頻圖形化電極和靜電圖形化電極的分佈,所述處理區域可以被劃分為與之對應的若干個基片處理區。同一基片處理區下方對應至少一個直流電極單元15和至少一個射頻電極單元14,且同一基片處理區內對應的直流電極單元15的數量大於等於射頻電極單元14的數量。通過控制每個射頻電極單元上的射頻電流的大小,可分別控制不同基片處理區內電漿的能量分佈,實現射頻電場的局部精確調整和動態控制。如果同一基片處理區內對應的直流電極單元的數量小於射頻電極單元的數量,即出現多塊射頻電極單元對應一塊直流電極單元的情況,會導致多塊射頻電極單元上不同的射頻電流耦合到同一塊直流電極單元上後再作用到處理區域,造成多個射頻信號在同一塊直流電極單元上的混合,會弱化對基片處理區的精確調整效果。所述射頻電極單元14間可發生橫向耦合,為防止射頻串擾,相鄰的兩個射頻電極單元14間設置射頻阻隔件13。When the radio frequency power source is connected to the radio frequency electrode unit 14, because there is a DC electrode unit 15 between the fixed substrate 3 and the radio frequency electrode unit 14, the radio frequency current will first be coupled to the direction corresponding to the radio frequency electrode unit 14. on the DC electrode unit 15, and then acts on the plasma sheath of the reaction area. Therefore, according to the distribution of the radio frequency patterned electrode and the electrostatic patterned electrode, the treatment area can be divided into corresponding Several substrate processing areas. At least one DC electrode unit 15 and at least one RF electrode unit 14 correspond below the same substrate processing area, and the number of corresponding DC electrode units 15 in the same substrate processing area is greater than or equal to the number of RF electrode units 14 . By controlling the size of the radio frequency current on each radio frequency electrode unit, the energy distribution of the plasma in different substrate processing areas can be controlled respectively, achieving local precise adjustment and dynamic control of the radio frequency electric field. If the number of corresponding DC electrode units in the same substrate processing area is less than the number of RF electrode units, that is, multiple RF electrode units correspond to one DC electrode unit, which will cause different RF currents on the multiple RF electrode units to be coupled to The same DC electrode unit is then applied to the processing area, resulting in the mixing of multiple RF signals on the same DC electrode unit, which will weaken the precise adjustment effect on the substrate processing area. Lateral coupling may occur between the radio frequency electrode units 14. To prevent radio frequency crosstalk, a radio frequency blocking member 13 is provided between two adjacent radio frequency electrode units 14.

本實施例中,所述射頻圖形化電極9包含五個射頻電極單元,如圖3中實線部分所示,分別為:位於所述射頻圖形化電極9中心的第一射頻電極單元1401,以及與所述第一射頻電極單元1401同心且呈扇形的第二射頻電極單元1402、第三射頻電極單元1403、第四射頻電極單元1404及第五射頻電極單元1405,相鄰的兩個射頻電極單元間設置射頻阻隔件13。本實施例中,每個射頻電極單元上方對應一個直流電極單元,即靜電圖形化電極同樣包含五個直流電極單元。由於靜電圖形化電極12與射頻圖形化電極9重合,因此採用虛線部分表示靜電圖形化電極,其圖式標記用括弧內表示。如圖3中虛線部分所示,所述靜電圖形化電極12包含:位於所述靜電圖形化電極12中心的第一直流電極單元1501,以及四個與所述第一直流電極單元1501同心且呈扇形的第二直流電極單元1502。In this embodiment, the radio frequency patterned electrode 9 includes five radio frequency electrode units, as shown in the solid line part in Figure 3, which are: the first radio frequency electrode unit 1401 located in the center of the radio frequency patterned electrode 9, and The second radio frequency electrode unit 1402, the third radio frequency electrode unit 1403, the fourth radio frequency electrode unit 1404 and the fifth radio frequency electrode unit 1405 are concentric and fan-shaped with the first radio frequency electrode unit 1401. Two adjacent radio frequency electrode units Radio frequency blocking pieces 13 are arranged between them. In this embodiment, each radio frequency electrode unit corresponds to a DC electrode unit, that is, the electrostatic patterned electrode also includes five DC electrode units.
