Description of the Invention () Field of the Invention: The present invention relates to a process system for manufacturing integrated circuits and flat panel displays. In particular, it is used in a processing system to prevent the formation of wafers and substrates on the backside of the wafer (suc ce p t 〇 r) and purge guide. Background of the invention: Generally, the process of 'integrated circuit and flat pane! Display' is to deposit multiple layers of thin film (such as metal layer or dielectric layer) on a substrate 'and then pattern it to form different structures. In the main application, a single substrate (for example, a substrate of 100 mm, 200, and 300) is used to form multiple dies on it. The current trend is to increase the area of the substrate while reducing the size of the element 'so that more dies can be formed thereon. Therefore, an important point about manufacturing integrated circuits and flat-panel displays is to reduce the edge exclusion area that cannot make a complete die. What I want is to exclude the deposits from the back and edges of the substrate 'so that the substrate will not stick to the susceptor supporting the substrate' and to prevent the deposits from attaching or forming on areas of the substrate that are easily flaking. on. Deposits on the back and edges of the substrate can cause particles in the system. In order to eliminate the deposits on the back of the substrate and the edges, I use a purge gas that is transmitted from the back of the substrate and the air duct or purification ring. The air purifying duct is found in an article entitled "Chemical Vapor __ Page 4 This paper is applicable to the Chinese National Standard Year (CNS) Λ4 specification (2 丨 〇χ297 common seam) ---- i --- ^ --- Ai--; ------- Order ------ line (please read the notes on the back before filling this page) · Printed by Zhengong Consumer Cooperative, Central Standards Bureau, Ministry of Economic Affairs Λ7 Β7 V.

For a cross section of a conventional substrate supporting element 10 and a net ammonia catheter 12, the net gas duct 12 is rotated by a shoulder 14 on the base plate torsion element, and the net gas duct 12 includes a contact Or the inner ring edge portion 16 suspended from the edge of the substrate 18. The inner ring edge 1 defines a narrow channel between the lower surface and the substrate for the purification gas to pass through. This purification gas passes through The support element flows to the edge of the substrate with the clean air duct. However, when the purge gas flows out through the gap between the clean air duct 12 and the shoulder j 4 of the substrate support element, a low pressure region will be created. This low pressure The region will attract process gases (reaction gases; to the edges and back of the substrate, causing unwanted deposits to form on it. One of the problems encountered with the aforementioned clean gas ducts is that the back gas must be tightly controlled. Flow rate to avoid sediment growth It is formed on the edge and back of the substrate, and at the same time promotes the uniformity of deposition on the surface of the substrate. The flow rate of the purge gas between the clean gas duct and the substrate must be tightly controlled to avoid negative effects on the uniformity of deposition to the outer edge of the substrate, because the purge gas will Process gas is blocked from flowing through the surface of the substrate. Another problem encountered is that the requirements for edge eXCUSUSion have been increased. In the past, the edge peripheral area of the substrate periphery (It is 90% of the thinness from the edge of the substrate to the bottom) It is acceptable for 6 feet. However, this requirement has recently been increased to a residual area with a film thickness of 90% to 95% from the edge rain.

One or more spacing pads 84 are placed on the "surface 8 6" of the inner ring edge 6 8 of the clean air duct, so as to avoid the lower surface of the inner ring edge 6 8 of the clean air duct and the upper surface of the substrate 70 being defined The gap closes the cisure. It is best to clean the catheter and the substrate without contact. However, if the shadow nng on the edge of the inner ring is close to the surface of the substrate, one or more septa 84 Will maintain the integrity of the purification gas channel (jntegrity). The preferred range of the height of the septum 84 is 1 to 10 mils. The element 22 includes a vacuum chuck (vacuunlchuck) for use in the manufacturing process. The substrate can be firmly fixed on the support element, and other kinds of clamps or fixing devices can also be used to secure the substrate to the support element. This vacuum fixture can make the substrate firmly on the support element without contacting the air purification duct. This vacuum The fixture also shows that it can improve the uniformity of the substrate temperature, the uniformity of the thin film, generate fewer particles in the reaction cavity, and avoid bridging between the substrate and the clean air duct or between the substrate and the support element.

Description of invention () Application room. The main body of the purge gas flowing through the clean air hole 66, a right edge of the substrate A provides a gas barrier wall to avoid the generation of a > bar on the edge of the substrate. The flow of purge gas between the inner ring edge 68 of the clean air duct and the substrate can further prevent the formation of deposits on the edge of the substrate. The scavenging gas flowing through the channel 5 2 is also helpful to avoid deposits on the back surface of the substrate. It is necessary to control the flow rate of the tritium gas transferred between the clean gas duct and the substrate 'to avoid negative effects on the deposition near the edge of the substrate "9 degrees" because the purge gas will disrupt the process gas on the substrate surface. To achieve uniform deposition, the flow rate of the purge gas must be adjusted according to the size of the gap between the clean air duct and the substrate. Generally, the flow rate of the purified gas is between about 100 seem and 10,000 seem. The preferred range is between 500 sccm and 3000 sccm. The preferred range of the gap between the lower surface 86 of the inner ridge edge of the clean air duct and the substrate 70 is between 5 and 25 mils, and more preferably between 10 and 20 mils ( mil) depends on the flow rate of the purge gas that can reach the optimal substrate edge residual area without sacrificing deposition uniformity. For example, 'In a reaction chamber that processes a 200-cm substrate, has a purge gas flow rate of 500 seem, and a pressure maintained at 25 Torr, the clearance of the purge gas flow rate of about 2200 seem is about 10 mils ( mil) to achieve a uniformity Rs of 2.5%, while having a complete substrate back surface and a bevel residual area, and an edge residual area of about 1 to 1.5 cm. The uniformity measures the change from the center of the base to the edge of the substrate. The second example of the same reaction chamber conditions, in order to achieve a uniformity Rs of 2 · 50 / 〇, and at the same time have a complete substrate back and edge residues. 12_ϊ_ ______— „^^ 5 uses + country $ standard) Λ4 Specifications (2 丨 〇7 ^ Chu) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling out this page) -5 Line Λ7 B7 Printed by the consumer cooperation of the Central Bureau of Standards of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 5. Description of the invention (excision), purification gas flow rate It is better to maintain a gap of about 20 mil (mi 1) at about < 1 400 sccm. The substrate temperature is another-need to be controlled to achieve uniform deposition process conditions, because the deposition rate is typically A function of substrate temperature change. — In general, the deposition rate increases as the substrate temperature increases. For Minori ’s deposition process, the preferred substrate temperature is maintained between 170 and 26 ° C. On the substrate The back gas pressure also affects the uniformity of the temperature distribution and then affects the uniformity of the deposition. "'General back gas pressure is maintained at i to 丨 Tor (-)'. Changing the back gas pressure can change the thickness of the pronu ) From the central thin, Edge thickness (low back gas pressure, less than 2 Torr) Change to thick center and thin edges (high back gas pressure, more than 2 Torr). The best back gas pressure is to maintain 纟 丨 _5 i 5 Torr (T 〇rr) to achieve a good uniformity Rs (2% to 3%). One way to monitor the uniformity of the deposition is to measure the uniformity of the substrate resistance, which is expressed as a percentage of deviation. Generally speaking, good / Redundant uniformity 残余 In the marginal residual area at 3 cm, an Rs value of less than 5% is measured. The preferred Rs value percentage is less than 3%. To avoid backside and bevel Sediment with minimal edge residual area at the same time. When the residual area of the edge of the substrate surface is reduced, the air duct with several air holes is used to maintain the abutment of the back surface of the substrate and the edge. A purge gas. However, the flow rate of the purge gas must be provided on the back of the substrate adjacent to the bevel—sufficient purge gas concentration to prevent deposits from forming on it.

For example, 'For a clean air duct with 240 holes with a diameter of 50 mils, 45 degrees outward and 10 mils (mi 丨) from the surface of the substrate, the purge gas flow rate greater than 2 1 00 seems to be more capable Avoid the formation of deposits on the back of the substrate and the bevel, and achieve an Rs uniformity of about 3% while the edge residual area is 1 cm. The second example, for a clean air duct with 180 diameters of 60 mils, 30 degrees outward and 8 mils away from the surface of the substrate, 'purge gas flow rate greater than 290 sccm is more able Avoid the formation of deposits on the back surface of the substrate and bevel, and achieve an Rs uniformity of about 4%, while the residual edge area is 1 cm. Generally, a higher purge gas flow rate and a larger gap distance can more effectively avoid the formation of deposits on the back surface of the substrate and the bevel, and achieve a better substrate edge residual area. However, the purge gas flow rate It will also affect the uniformity Rs'. Therefore, the flow rate of the purified gas Xiao a is preferably maintained to meet the minimum requirements of the back surface and the edge residual area of the substrate. Such uniformity Rs is the most appropriate.
