Description of the Invention (I) [Related Patent Applications] The following US patent applications are incorporated herein by reference, as if they had been fully filed: Serial number of patent application:, filed in __ 'with the name " System and method for improving energy purity and implant consistency and for minimizing charge accumulation of implanted substrate ". 'I Field of the Invention] The present invention generally relates to the field of plasma immersion ion implantation systems, and more particularly to an improved system and method for providing implantation across the surface of a substrate implanted by the system. Dose uniformity. [Background of the Invention] Ion implantation has become a technology favored by the industry, and semiconductors are doped with impurities in the large-scale manufacturing of integrated circuits. In defining a specific implantation process, the ion dose is one of two implantation variables (the other is ion energy, which determines the depth of implantation). Ion dose refers to the concentration of implanted ions in a given area or volume of a semiconductor material. Typically, high current implanters (typically greater than 1 milliamp (mA) ion beam current) are used for high dose implants, and medium current implanters (typically capable of ion beam currents up to about 1 mA) are used for Lower dose application. A conventional ion implanter includes three stages or sub-systems: (i) an ion source for outputting an ion beam, and (ii) a mass decomposition magnetic field for mass. Separating a beam line of the ion beam and ( iii) A target chamber containing a semiconductor wafer or other substrate to be implanted by ion plutonium. Typically, the ion source in the ion implanter generates an ion beam. The 4 paper sizes that are ionized in a source chamber apply the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm).

Description of the invention ()) Source gas (one component is a desired doping element ) And take out the ionized source gas in the form of an ion beam. The ion beam is directed along an evacuated beam path provided by the beamline. The energetic ions in the beam impinge on the substrate in the target chamber and are implanted therein. It is important in this implant system to ensure uniform implantation dose across the surface of the matrix. Plasma immersion ion implantation (PI-tube or PI3) is an emerging technology in which a substrate such as a wafer on a platform is immersed in a plasma in a chamber. Therefore, this room is used as both a processing room and a power supply. Typically, a voltage difference is periodically established between the wall of the chamber and the platform to attract ions in the plasma to the substrate. A sufficient voltage difference will result in ion implantation on the surface of the substrate. As in conventional ion implantation systems, it is important to ensure uniformity of implantation amount across the surface of the matrix. Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a system and method for providing uniform implantation dose across the surface of a substrate implanted by a plasma immersion ion implantation system. [Summary of the invention] A system and method for providing uniform implantation dose across a surface of a substrate such as a semiconductor wafer, which is implanted in a processing chamber of a plasma immersion ion implanter. The plasma generated in the chamber includes the desired doped ions. Implantation is achieved by applying a series of negative pulses to the platform supporting the wafer. Before the wafer is processed, the ion current extracted from the plasma is determined by the dosimetry detector at a plurality of positions on the platform. The plurality of positions correspond to positions on the surface of the wafer to be implanted. A plurality of electromagnets generate a magnetic field in the chamber. The 5 paper sizes of these electromagnets are applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 specifications (210 X 297 mm) (please read the precautions on the back of Jing before filling this page) • \) -------- Order --------- Line · Printed by the Employees' Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs and printed by the Shelley Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 4 59 26 Friends A7 Β7 V. Description of the invention (5) Size, location and The current ratio is selected to establish a magnetic field in the chamber, which is perpendicular to the wafer surface and is uniform on the wafer surface. The dosimetry detector senses the ion current taken out from the plasma in a plurality of positions in the processing chamber, and outputs a feedback signal representing the feedback signal to the controller. The controller responds to the feedback signal and outputs a control signal to A power supply that controls the amount of current in a plurality of electromagnets. This current is changed 'as necessary to achieve the' average 'and dose rate across the wafer. In the preferred embodiment ', the plurality of electromagnets include a plurality of ring-shaped electromagnets placed outside the processing chamber and defining the outside of the processing chamber.

Description of the invention (3) An evacuated processing chamber I2 defined by an electrically actuable wafer support platform M2, with One of the wall portions 17 is an electrical grounding chamber housing 16 and a quartz window 19. When a negative charge voltage is applied to the platform 14, the electrical package generated in the chamber contains ions of a desired species of arsenic (such as arsenide), which are implanted into a substrate, such as a semiconductor wafer W located on one of them. As shown in FIG. 1, the wafer W is removed from the platform by a pin 23 operated by a pin assembly 25. In this way, the wafer system can be easily installed in and removed from the plasma chamber via a stabilizing component (not shown). As described below, a plasma system is generated in the processing chamber 12. An ionizable impurity gas system is introduced into the processing chamber 12 through the inlet 21 and passes through an annular passage 21A existing at the upper edge of the chamber. A radio frequency (RF) generator 22 generates an RF signal (on the order of 13.5 million hertz (MHz)), which is coupled to a matching network 24. The matching network includes a capacitor 26 that capacitively couples the radio frequency signal via wires 30 and 32 to a substantially flat plate antenna 28, which has substantially internal and external circular coils. The impedance of the RF generator 22 and the impedance of the load are matched to minimize the RF signal reflected back to the generator to ensure the maximum power output of the antenna 28. One such matching network 24 is known as an "inverted L" network, in which the capacitance of the capacitor 26 is changed by the servo motor depending on the operating conditions. The radio frequency current generated in the antenna 28 creates a magnetic field, which passes through the quartz window 19 into the processing chamber Π. The direction of this magnetic field line as shown by arrow B is based on the direction of the current passing through the antenna line 圏. The magnetic field passing through the processing chamber 12 through the quartz window 19 induces an electric field in the processing chamber. This electric field will accelerate the electrons, and its ionized impurity gas, which passes through the annular channel 21A, is accepted by the Chinese paper standard ^ (CNS) A4 size < 210 ^ 297 mm) (Please read the precautions on the back before reading) (Fill in this page)-^) --------- Order ------- ^ Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 459265 A7 ____B7 _ V. Description of Invention (.) To build a plasma. The plasma includes positively charged ions of desired impurities, which can be implanted into the wafer W when a suitable opposite voltage is applied to the platform 14 by the modulator 27. Because the implantation process takes place in a vacuum, the processing chamber 12 is evacuated via a pump manifold 29 with a pump. The electric field induced in the processing chamber is defined by a ring-shaped field line concentrated on a ring (ring surface), which exists under the antenna 28 and is parallel (such as the positions of X and Y in the cross-section of Figure 1) . The plasma system in the chamber U is thus concentrated along the annular field line. The plasma then diffuses to the wafer. Depending on the diffusion speed and chamber height, this results in a range of plasma densities on the wafer from maximum at the edge ring to maximum at the center (including a uniform condition). However, the diffusion rate will depend on the plasma conditions (kind, pressure, RF power), and it was chosen to optimize the crystal map process, so leaving only the chamber height as a control variable for uniformity. This is an inconvenient variable for uniformity control. The present invention solves the problem of controlling the uniformity of the plasma density by adding annular magnetic coils 34, 36, 38, and 40 located outside the processing chamber 12. In the preferred embodiment, Helmholz coils (electromagnets) are used. The purpose of this coil is to change the magnetic field in the processing chamber 12 to effectively change the plasma diffusion speed, which changes the radial distribution of the plasma density across the wafer surface. In a preferred embodiment, the electromagnetic coil 圏 includes two larger main wires 圏 34 and 40, and two smaller adjustment coils 36 and 38, respectively, which are located closer to the processing chamber. Around 12. The larger main wires 34 and 40 are powered by the first current source 44 and the smaller adjustment 9 The paper size applies to the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 xi97 Gongchu ^ (Please read the note on the back first) Please fill in this page for matters) --------- Order --------- Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs A7 B7 459265 V. Description of the invention (1) Coils 36 and 38 It is powered by the second current source 46 (see Figure 2). Generally, the first current 値 is applied to the two larger main coils, and the second and smaller current 値 is applied to the smaller adjustment line 或者. A single current source can be used to supply current to all four lines. The wafer platform includes a dosimetry detector such as a plurality of Faraday current collectors or cups 42 which are used to The plasma_current density is measured and thus provides an indication of the implant dose. The Faraday cups can be constructed as shown in commonly owned US Patent Application No. 09 / 218,770. In the preferred embodiment Of these, seven such cups are placed on the wafer platform with a radius of the same The Faraday cups 42 are electrically biased and include a charge ion concentration surface parallel to the implantation surface. When a wafer appears on the platform during the process, the radially outermost Faraday cups can Used to measure plasma current density and provide an immediate feedback of the dose implanted in the wafer. Before processing, when the wafer is not present on the platform, all Faraday cups can be used to provide The indication of the radial distribution of the plasma current across the wafer surface directly corresponds to the ion dose. As will be explained below, to adjust the radial distribution of the plasma current density to ensure a uniform implant dose, in the processing chamber 12 The internal magnetic field is changed to effectively change the plasma density distribution in the room. The magnetic field is changed by changing the current passing through the magnetic line. Figure 2 shows the control system used to control the current through the magnetic coil. Block diagram. Seven Faraday cups 42a-42g provide signal output 4S to the controller 50. Depending on the reading of the Faraday cup, the controller outputs a control letter 10 China National Yttrium Standard (CNS) A4 Specification (210 X297 mm) (Please read the notes on the back before filling this page), ¾ — ϋ n I · n It n ϋ < tn I-Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Printed by Industrial and Consumer Cooperatives ^ 459265 A7 ___ _ B7 V.

In this manner, a closed-loop control system is provided to control the plasma distribution across the wafer. FIG. 3 is a cross-sectional view of a magnetic field created using magnets 34, 36, 38, and 40 in the processing chamber of the system of FIG. The processing chamber 12 is shown by a broken line surrounded by a wall portion 7 of the chamber. Only the chambers along the chamber center line CL are shown in circle three. 'Assume that the magnetic fields established by coils 34, 36, 38, and 40 are almost identical to the other half of the chamber not shown. The field line B in Figure 3 defines the magnetic field created by the Hehnholz line 圏 indoors. As can be seen from these magnetic field lines, the position of the coil relative to the chamber 12 and the magnitude of the current flowing through it results in a uniform magnetic field as high as 30 Gauss across the surface of the wafer W in the chamber 12. The uniform magnetic field is perpendicular to the wafer surface and uniformly spans the wafer surface. It is important that the field is uniform and perpendicular across the entire wafer surface to avoid any charging problems due to uneven electronic orbits during the implantation process. In this example, the wafer has a diameter of 300 mm (30 cm). Printed by the Consumer Cooperative of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs as shown in Figure 3. This coil provides a magnetic field that is evenly distributed from the center line Ct of the chamber radially to almost 20 cm in each direction. A region of a uniform magnetic field inside. The uniform magnetic field in the area above the wafer W directly controls the uniformity of the plasma across the wafer surface. This plasma uniformity will then ensure a uniform implant across the wafer surface

The figure in Figure 4 is based on the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 mm). Printed by Jinsakusha, employee of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 4 59 26ί Α7 Β7 V. Description of the invention (q) Operate an argon plasma excited by a 200 watt RF source. The magnetic field leaves of the antenna 28 (positions X and Y in FIG. 3) are separated by 20 cm (10 cm on each side of the center line CL). The current system from 6 amps to 16.9 amps in the legend represents the current flowing through the larger main coils 34 and 40. The current flowing through the smaller adjustment lines 及 36 and 38 is 0.33 (33%) of the main line current, which has been found to be a suitable ratio through experiments. "" The normalized plasma electron density shown in Figure 4 is given by A known method (for example, by a moving Langmuir probe) is measured 2 cm above the wafer surface. The Langmuir probe is repeatedly moved along the plane of the wafer to measure the plasma density of various magnetic field currents. In addition, the Faraday cup cover 42 can be used to measure the plasma density on the wafer surface. Using a moving Langmuir probe or Faraday cup array, the plasma density across the wafer surface is measured. The controller 50 can then change the magnetic field by adjusting the current in the magnets 34, 36, 38, and 40 until the desired uniform magnetic field plasma density is obtained. If a Faraday cup is used, in order to achieve the uniformity of the lateral plasma density, the output signal of the Faraday cup can be used as a feedback in a closed loop system (refer to Figure 2) to change the magnetic field current. As shown in Figure 4, two stable modes of plasma were obtained. In the first mode, at lower main magnetic field currents (6-8 amps), the plasma density is concentrated along the centerline of the chamber. In the second mode, at a higher main magnetic field current (12-17 amps), the plasma density is concentrated on both sides (from the central line CL + 10cm and _i〇cm), which corresponds to the magnetic field leaves of the antenna 28 s position. The current in the middle (9-11 amps) achieves a more uniform plasma density across the wafer surface. However, this is an unstable area and the plasma density is 12 This paper size is applicable to China National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 丨 丨 ------ 丨 1 i — — — — — — Order · (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs 4 59 266 A7 B7 V. Description of the invention (ί. ≫ The tendency of one of the modes to move. The reason for the existence of these two different plasma modes can be explained by the different diffusion speeds of the plasma away from the electric field source (which is represented by the annular surface under the antenna 28). It is explained by the magnet The low magnetic fields established by 34, 36, .38, and 40 'plasma lateral diffusion rate is high, while the center of the toroidal surface begins to be filled with plasma and gradually peaks at the central line. Magnets 34, 36, 38, and 40 With the high magnetic field established, the lateral diffusion rate of the propeller is low, and the plasma maintains a toroidal shape. 'Therefore, the present invention contemplates two methods to achieve a uniform plasma density across the surface of the wafer W. Using a Faraday cup array or Mobile Langmuir probe, The precise current through the main coils 34 and 40 can be determined, which will result in a uniform plasma density across the surface of the wafer W. The wafer can then be implanted using a single implantation process step. Or, because of the above The methods all involve areas where the plasma is unstable, and a single step of implantation can be performed. Using a Faraday cup array or a moving Langmuir probe, the first implantation is performed using the first plasma density mode, and the first Secondary implants are performed using a second plasma density mode. This two-step method provides a more stable plasma in each mode compared to a single step method, although two-step separation implantation process steps will necessarily require more Therefore, a preferred method and system for implant dose uniformity across the surface of the substrate has been described. Using the present invention, dose uniformity of less than 2% change across the surface of a 300 mm wafer Has been reached. However, I can understand that the foregoing description is only by way of example. 13 (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) Applicable National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 X 297 mm) 459266 ____ V.
