Invention Description () Field of invention · A method for manufacturing a dielectric layer, especially for a furnace-tube chemical vapor deposition reactor 'can modify the substrate The effect of medium ion concentration due to temperature effects. BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION In a semiconductor process, a general dielectric material is formed by a chemical vapor deposition method, and a furnace tube type; a gas phase and a redundant stomach reactor can perform a deposition process on multiple wafers simultaneously. Figure 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a vertical furnace tube chemical vapor deposition reactor. Please refer to FIG. 1 'The reactor 100 itself is made of Quartz which is annealed. The reaction gas 102 is usually sent into the furnace tube from the gas inlet 104 at the lower end of the furnace tube (of course, there are other different design methods). The wafer 106 to be subjected to the deposition process is placed on a boat 108 also made of quartz, and is placed in an appropriate position of the furnace tube 110 with the boat 108 for deposition. The exhaust gas 112 remaining from the deposition reaction is discharged from the gas outlet 114 through the vacuum system. The heater (not shown in the figure) not only heats the wafer 106 in the furnace tube 110, but also raises the temperature of the entire furnace tube 110 to be equivalent to the temperature to which the wafer 106 is subjected. The reactor 100 shown in Figure 1 is a combination of low pressure and heat. 2 The paper size applies the Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 specification (210 X 297 male f) (Please read the precautions on the back before filling this page) 丨 Fees Order --------- line * 529121 Printed by the Consumer Cooperatives of the Intellectual Property Bureau of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Λ7 __B7 _ V. Description of the invention () Walls and batch-type chemical vapor deposition equipment. In general, the number of wafers to be deposited at a time can be as large as or more. The biggest feature of the reactor 100 design is that the surface temperature of each wafer 106 in the furnace tube can be controlled in an extremely uniform state. However, because the concentration of the reaction gas will decrease with the progress of the reaction, the design of the furnace tube 110 may face a higher deposition rate on the surface of the wafer 106 near the process gas inlet 104 than in other parts. In order to make the deposition of each wafer 106 in the reactor tube 110 within a certain uniformity. Therefore, the temperature in the furnace tube 110 changes in a gradient, so that the area close to the process gas inlet 104 is at a lower temperature, and then gradually increased in order to make the wafer 106 near the gas outlet Π4 at a relatively high temperature. High temperature in order to make up for the difference in deposition rate caused by the decrease in gas concentration. Depending on the process, the temperature difference between the front and back of the furnace tube is between 20 and 40 ° C. In the current commercial VLSI process, the materials deposited by furnace-tube chemical vapor deposition reactors are mainly poly silicon, silicon oxide, silicon nitride, and nitrogen. Silicon oxide (Silicon-Oxy-Nitdde) and so on. The temperature controlled by the process is about 400 ° C to 850 ° C. Although the furnace tube chemical vapor deposition reactor can perform the deposition process on multiple wafers at the same time, but in order to correct the Shen 3 II caused by the decrease in gas concentration ---------- change ----- --- tr --------- 线 # (Please read the notes on the back before filling out this page) This paper size applies Chinese National Standard (CNS) A4 (210 x 297 meals) Intellectual Property of the Ministry of Economic Affairs Printed by the Bureau ’s Consumer Cooperatives 529121 A7 V. Description of the invention () The difference in product rate and a temperature gradient in the furnace tube produces different temperatures for the dopant ion concentration that has been implanted in the wafer.

Invention Description ( ) Step. In the deposition step, a reaction gas is provided to the furnace-tube chemical vapor deposition reactor. The reaction gas varies with the material to be deposited, such as' depositing silicon nitride with silane halides and ammonia, and Silane, dinitrogen oxide, and gas deposition of silicon oxynitride and silicon oxide deposition with oxygen, silane, or oxygen, tetraethoxy silicon courtyard. At the same time, a gradient temperature was provided in the furnace-tube chemical vapor deposition reactor for calibration The difference between the concentration and pressure of the reaction gas. The range of the gradient temperature will vary depending on the material to be deposited, but the applicable temperature range is between about 400 ° C and 850 ° C. It must be performed after the deposition step is completed Steps for removing the pipeline to remove the reactor Residual toxic gas. The time required to remove the pipeline step is about the same as that of the deposition step. Therefore, inverting the gradient temperature while removing the pipeline step can reduce the temperature in the upper, lower and middle layers of the reaction chamber, especially It is the difference of the temperature environment encountered by the wafers between the upper and lower layers to correct the effect of the ion concentration in the substrate due to the temperature effect.
