579545 五、發明說明(1) 發明所屬之技術領域 本發明是有關於一種沉積室(deposition chamber), 且特別是關於一種沉積室之部件(pa r t)結構。 · 先前技術 在半導體製程中,為了有利於後續如曝光製程等作定 位(alignment)的製程,目前大多在進行沉積製程時,於 沉積室内的晶片座中採用具有定位用凸出部的壓環將晶片 固定,之後再進行沉積製程,以便同時於晶片上沉積預定 形成的薄膜以及形成定位用的標記(m a r k ),而沉積室内的 晶片座以及具有定位用凸出部的壓環之結構如第1圖所 示。 泰 第1圖是習知一種沉積室的部件結構之立體示意圖。 請參照第1圖,於沉積室中的晶片座1 0 0中配置有一壓環 (clamp)102 ,而且壓環102具有兩個凸出部104。當晶片 1 0 6被放置於晶片座1 0 0内之後,壓環1 0 2會向下壓住晶片 106。由於壓環102具有數個定位用的凸出部104,所以進 、 行沉積製程後,於晶片1 0 6上除了會沉積預定形成的薄膜 外,在凸出部1 0 4遮蔽的部位將不會有薄膜沉積,因此在 · 此處形成後續製程定位用的標記。 目前用以形成定位用標記的沉積室除了在晶片座加入 壓環外,為了將壓環上累積的電荷釋出,還會在晶片座底 下開數個小洞,並於每個洞中插入一個黃銅製的螺桿,再 將這些螺桿與壓環相接,以使壓環上累積的電荷從螺桿釋 出0579545 V. Description of the invention (1) Field of the invention The present invention relates to a deposition chamber, and more particularly to a structure of a deposition chamber. · In the prior art, in order to facilitate subsequent alignment processes, such as exposure processes, in the semiconductor manufacturing process, most of the current processes use a pressure ring with a positioning protrusion in the wafer holder in the deposition chamber during the deposition process. The wafer is fixed, and then a deposition process is performed to deposit a predetermined film and a mark for positioning at the same time on the wafer, and the structure of the wafer holder and the pressure ring with the positioning protrusions in the deposition chamber are as in the first As shown. Figure 1 is a schematic perspective view of the component structure of a conventional deposition chamber. Referring to FIG. 1, a clamp 102 is disposed in the wafer holder 100 in the deposition chamber, and the clamp 102 has two protruding portions 104. After the wafer 106 is placed in the wafer holder 100, the pressure ring 10 2 presses the wafer 106 downward. Since the pressing ring 102 has a plurality of positioning protrusions 104, after the deposition process is performed, in addition to depositing a thin film to be formed on the wafer 106, the area shielded by the protrusions 104 will not A thin film is deposited, so a mark for subsequent process positioning is formed here. In addition to adding a pressure ring to the wafer holder, the current deposition chamber used to form the positioning marks will open several small holes under the wafer holder in order to release the accumulated charge on the ring, and insert one in each hole. Screws made of brass, which are then connected to the pressure ring, so that the accumulated charge on the pressure ring is released from the screw.

Description of the invention (2) However, the screw used to release the accumulated charge is often too small because its allowable change of angle is too small. The so-called "allowable change of angle" "It refers to the range of angles that the screw placed in the small hole can tilt. The small allowable angle change will cause some screws to be unable to contact the pressing ring, which will cause the original pressing ring of the wafer to be pressed in parallel. The screw in position is tilted by touching. The tilt of the pressure ring will cause the portion of the wafer that was originally hidden by the protrusion of the pressure ring to be exposed, and a clear positioning mark cannot be obtained after the deposition process, making subsequent processes difficult to locate. If you want to ensure the correct positioning of subsequent processes, you need to spend extra cost and time to rework the wafer, but this will lead to lower yields and other disadvantages. SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION Therefore, an object of the present invention is to provide a component structure of a deposition chamber, so that the position of the pressure ring is not limited by the screw and the insulating portion. Another object of the present invention is to provide a component structure of a deposition chamber to reduce the probability of wafer rework. Another object of the present invention is to provide a component structure of a deposition chamber to improve yield. According to the above and other objectives, the present invention provides a component structure of a deposition chamber, which includes at least a shell, a pressure ring located in the shell, and a screw. The screw passes through the shell to contact the pressure ring to release the charge accumulated by the pressure ring . In addition, the housing also includes an insulating part surrounding the screw to isolate the screw from the housing, where the allowable angle change of the screw is greater than 2 3.2.

Used to release the charge accumulated on the pressure ring. In addition, the housing also includes an insulating portion surrounding the screw to isolate the screw from the housing, wherein the ratio of the diameter of the screw to the inner diameter of the insulating portion is less than 0.4. In the present invention, the inner diameter of the insulating portion is widened or the diameter of the screw is reduced, so that the allowable angular variation of the screw is increased. Therefore, when the screw is connected to the pressure ring, there will be no tilting of the pressure ring due to the inability of some screws to contact the pressure ring, thereby reducing the probability of wafer rework and improving the yield.
