本發明係關於一種加工半導體元件之噴氣系統及應用該噴氣系統之氣相磊晶設備,特別係關於一種可防止沈積物堵塞噴氣孔之一種加工半導體元件之噴氣系統及應用該噴氣系統之氣相磊晶設備。The present invention relates to a jet system for processing a semiconductor element and a vapor phase epitaxy apparatus using the same, and more particularly to a jet system for processing a semiconductor element that prevents deposits from clogging a gas injection hole and a gas phase using the same. Epitaxial equipment.
半導體積體電路(IC)產業已歷經卓越成長。隨著半導體積體電路在材料及設計的技術層面的演進,已發展出多個半導體積體電路的世代,其中每一世代皆較上一世代的體積更小,且電路複雜度更高。在半導體積體電路的發展過程中,當幾何大小減少時,功能密度(亦即在一晶片區域上相互連結的裝置的數量)即相對提高。上述尺度減少的過程通常伴隨著生產效率增加以及相關成本減少的好處,尺度的減少也使半導體積體電路在製造上的複雜度增加。因此,半導體積體電路在製程以及製造方法上的發展也需要同時進步。The semiconductor integrated circuit (IC) industry has experienced remarkable growth. With the evolution of semiconductor integrated circuits in the technical aspects of materials and design, a generation of semiconductor integrated circuits has been developed, each of which has a smaller volume and higher circuit complexity than the previous generation. In the development of semiconductor integrated circuits, when the geometry is reduced, the functional density (i.e., the number of devices connected to each other on a wafer area) is relatively increased. The above-described process of scale reduction is usually accompanied by the increase in production efficiency and the associated cost reduction, and the reduction in scale also increases the complexity of manufacturing semiconductor integrated circuits. Therefore, the development of semiconductor integrated circuits in processes and manufacturing methods also needs to progress at the same time.
舉例而言,由於三五族化合物半導體(N-base semiconductor)寬能隙的特性,使其與其他第三-五族半導體比起來具有短波長、高功率、高頻以及耐高溫操作的優勢,所以在藍、紫、白光發光二極體(light emitting diodes,LEDs)、藍光雷射二極體(Laser diodes,LDs)和高耐壓半導體功率元件(Power device)的應用上更形重要。目 前製造三五族化合物半導體磊晶片(EPI wafer)和三五族化合物半導體基板的主流設備分別為有機金屬氣相磊晶設備(MOCVD)及氫化物氣相磊晶設備(HVPE)。兩者基本上都是將第三族和第五族前驅氣體經由氣體噴氣頭(Shower head)朝向成長基板方向端的噴氣孔噴出,然後在半導體元件上形成三五族化合物半導體膜層。在上述製成中,氣相磊晶設備中的氣流穩定性對所成長的半導體膜層品質均勻性和成長速率有決定性的影響。因此如何提高氣相磊晶設備中的氣流穩定性是一個重要的課題。For example, due to the wide bandgap characteristics of N-base semiconductors, it has the advantages of short wavelength, high power, high frequency and high temperature operation compared with other third-five semiconductors. Therefore, it is more important in the application of blue, violet, white light emitting diodes (LEDs), blue laser diodes (LDs) and high voltage semiconductor power devices. Head The mainstream devices for manufacturing the EPI wafer and the tri-five compound semiconductor substrate are respectively an organometallic vapor phase epitaxy device (MOCVD) and a hydride vapor epitaxy device (HVPE). Both of them basically discharge the third and fifth precursor gases through the gas jet head toward the gas jet holes at the direction of the growth substrate, and then form a tri-five compound semiconductor film layer on the semiconductor element. In the above fabrication, the gas flow stability in the vapor phase epitaxy apparatus has a decisive influence on the quality uniformity and growth rate of the grown semiconductor film layer. Therefore, how to improve the airflow stability in the gas phase epitaxial device is an important issue.

The first jet unit includes a first member, and at least one first opening extends through the first member. The first gas passage provides one or more third group precursor gases to the one or more semiconductor components via the first opening. The second gas passage provides a fifth group of precursor gases. The fifth group precursor gas is reacted with a Group III precursor gas to form a nitride to one or more semiconductor elements. Since the surface of the first jet unit facing the one or more semiconductor elements is made of molybdenum metal having a purity of 99% or more, the first jet unit of the present invention does not have the property of adhering nitride.
本發明之另一實施例亦提供一種應用噴氣系統之氣相磊晶設備包括上述之噴氣系統、一第二噴氣單元、及一用於夾持一或多個半導體元件之基板。至少一第二開孔貫穿 第二噴氣單元,且第二氣體通路經由第二開孔提供第五族前驅氣體。由於第二噴氣單元面向一或多個半導體元件之表面係由純度大於、等於或近似於99%的鉬金屬製成,因此第二噴氣單元不具附著三五族化合物之特性。Another embodiment of the present invention also provides a vapor phase epitaxy apparatus using a jet system comprising the above described jet system, a second jet unit, and a substrate for holding one or more semiconductor components. At least one second opening a second jet unit, and the second gas passage provides a fifth group of precursor gases via the second opening.

為了讓本發明之目的、特徵、及優點能更明顯易懂,下文特舉較佳實施例,並配合所附圖示第1圖至第11圖,做詳細之說明。本發明說明書提供不同的實施例來說明本發明不同實施方式的技術特徵。其中,實施例中的各元件之配置係為說明之用,並非用以限制本發明。且實施例中圖式標號之部分重複,係為了簡化說明,並非意指不同實施例之間的關聯性。In order to make the objects, features, and advantages of the present invention more comprehensible, the preferred embodiments of the invention will be described in detail with reference to FIG. The present specification provides various embodiments to illustrate the technical features of various embodiments of the present invention. The arrangement of the various elements in the embodiments is for illustrative purposes and is not intended to limit the invention. The overlapping portions of the drawings in the embodiments are for the purpose of simplifying the description and are not intended to be related to the different embodiments.
請參照第1圖,氣相磊晶設備1包括一腔體C1、一基板10、及一噴氣系統110。氣相磊晶設備1例如為一半導體有機金屬氣相磊晶設備或一氫化物氣相磊晶設備,可用於製造發光二極體元件或氮化物半導體基板。Referring to FIG. 1, the vapor phase epitaxy apparatus 1 includes a cavity C1, a substrate 10, and a jet system 110. The vapor phase epitaxial apparatus 1 is, for example, a semiconductor organometallic vapor phase epitaxy apparatus or a hydride vapor phase epitaxy apparatus, which can be used to fabricate a light emitting diode element or a nitride semiconductor substrate.
基板10設置於腔體C1內並配置用於夾持一或多個半導體元件W。噴氣系統110包括一第一氣體通路111、第二氣體通路112、及一第一噴氣單元113,其中第一噴氣單元113更包括一中間構件114、及一底板115。第一氣體通路111提供一種或一種以上之第三族前驅氣體S1,且第二氣體通路112提供一第五族前驅氣體S2。第三族前驅氣體S1與第五族前驅氣體S2流經中間構件114內部之流路後 經由貫穿底板115之複數個開孔115a朝半導體元件W噴出。此時,第三族前驅氣體S1與第五族前驅氣體S2(例如:氨,NH3 )於基板10上方的空間進行反應,並於半導體元件W上成長第三族氮化物之薄膜。在另一實施例中,底板115僅包括一開孔配置用於供應第三族前驅氣體S1與第五族前驅氣體S2。The substrate 10 is disposed in the cavity C1 and configured to sandwich one or more semiconductor elements W. The jet system 110 includes a first gas passage 111, a second gas passage 112, and a first jet unit 113. The first jet unit 113 further includes an intermediate member 114 and a bottom plate 115. The first gas passage 111 provides one or more third-group precursor gases S1, and the second gas passage 112 provides a fifth-group precursor gas S2. The third-group precursor gas S1 and the fifth-group precursor gas S2 flow through the flow path inside the intermediate member 114, and are then ejected toward the semiconductor element W through a plurality of openings 115a penetrating through the bottom plate 115. At this time, the third group precursor gas S1 and the fifth group precursor gas S2 (for example, ammonia, NH 3 ) are reacted in a space above the substrate 10, and a film of the group III nitride is grown on the semiconductor element W. In another embodiment, the bottom plate 115 includes only an opening configuration for supplying the third group precursor gas S1 and the fifth group precursor gas S2.
然而,如第1圖所示般,第三族前驅氣體S1與第五族前驅氣體S2(例如:氨,NH3 )於基板10上方的空間進行混流時,部分混流氣體144將自基板10反彈,導致底板115表面亦累積不必要之第三族氮化物。位於底板115之沈積物堵塞底板115之開孔115a後將造成基板10上方空間內的混流的不穩定,進而影響半導體元件W的加工品質。另外,形成於底板115之沈積物若是掉落於半導體元件W上,半導體元件W將受到損壞而無法使用。為解決上述問題,多種氣相磊晶設備之實施例揭露如下。However, as shown in FIG. 1, when the third group precursor gas S1 and the fifth group precursor gas S2 (for example, ammonia, NH 3 ) are mixed in the space above the substrate 10, part of the mixed gas 144 will rebound from the substrate 10. As a result, the surface of the bottom plate 115 also accumulates unnecessary third-group nitride. The deposition of the bottom plate 115 occluding the opening 115a of the bottom plate 115 will cause instability of the mixed flow in the space above the substrate 10, thereby affecting the processing quality of the semiconductor element W. Further, if the deposit formed on the substrate 115 is dropped on the semiconductor element W, the semiconductor element W is damaged and cannot be used. In order to solve the above problems, embodiments of various vapor phase epitaxial devices are disclosed as follows.
請參照第2A、2B圖,第2A圖顯示本發明之一實施例之氣相磊晶設備2之示意圖,其中第2B圖顯示第2A圖之M1 區域之放大圖。氣相磊晶設備2與第1圖之氣相磊晶設備1相同或相似之結構將以相同或相似之標號標示,且其特徵將不再說明。氣相磊晶設備2與氣相磊晶設備1相異之處在於,氣相磊晶設備2的噴氣系統210中以第一噴氣單元213取代第一噴氣單元113,其中第一噴氣單元213包括一中間構件114、及一第一構件215。Refer to Section 2A, FIG. 2B, FIG. 2A shows a schematic diagram of the gas phase epitaxy apparatus 2 one embodiment of the present invention, wherein FIG. 2B shows an enlarged area of FIG. 1 M of FIG. 2A.

In detail, in this embodiment, the outer surface of the first member 215 directly faces the semiconductor element W, and the entirety of the first member 215 is made of molybdenum metal having a purity greater than, equal to, or approximately 99%. Therefore, the Group III nitride will not adhere to the first jet unit 213. In one embodiment, the first member 215 is comprised of 99.96% molybdenum, 0.004% iron, and 0.008% other materials. In another embodiment, the first member 215 is made of molybdenum metal having a purity greater than, equal to, or approximately 99.95%. In another embodiment, the first member 215 is made of a molybdenum alloy material having a purity greater than, equal to, or approximately 90%.
如第2B圖所示般,由於第一開孔215a未受任何沈積物堵塞,氣流214通過第一開孔215a後的噴氣角不會發生改變,並且氣流214可維持一定的流速通過第一開孔215a。As shown in FIG. 2B, since the first opening 215a is not blocked by any deposit, the jet angle of the airflow 214 after passing through the first opening 215a does not change, and the airflow 214 can maintain a certain flow rate through the first opening.

The second member 115 is coupled to the opposite side of the first member 315 facing the semiconductor component W, wherein the first member 315 is coupled to the second member 115 by screws, jams or soldering.
在此實施例中,第一構件315之外表面係直接面向半導體元件W,且第一構件315之整體係由純度大於、等於或近似於99%的鉬金屬製成。亦即,第一噴氣單元313面向半導體元件W之表面313a係由純度大於、等於或近似於99%的鉬金屬製成。因此,三五族化合物將不會附著於第一噴氣單元313上。在一具體實施例中,第一構件315係由99.96%的鉬、0.004%的鐵、及0.008%的其他物質所構成。在另一實施例中,第一構件315係由純度大於、等於或近似於99.95%的鉬金屬製成。在另一實施例中,第一構件315係由純度大於、等於或近似於90%的鉬合金材料製成。第二構件115則可由任何適當之材料所製成,例如:金屬材料、石英材料或陶瓷材料。In this embodiment, the outer surface of the first member 315 directly faces the semiconductor element W, and the entirety of the first member 315 is made of molybdenum metal having a purity greater than, equal to, or approximately 99%. That is, the surface 313a of the first jet unit 313 facing the semiconductor element W is made of molybdenum metal having a purity greater than, equal to, or approximately 99%. Therefore, the tri-five compound will not adhere to the first jet unit 313. In one embodiment, the first member 315 is comprised of 99.96% molybdenum, 0.004% iron, and 0.008% other materials.

The air jet angle of the airflow 314 after passing through the second opening 115a and the first opening 315a does not change, and the airflow 314 can maintain a certain flow rate through the second opening 115a and the first opening 315a.
參照第4A、4B圖,第4A圖顯示本發明之一實施例之氣相磊晶設備4之示意圖,其中第4B圖顯示第4A圖之M3 區域之放大圖。氣相磊晶設備4與第1圖之氣相磊晶設備1相同或相似之結構將以相同或相似之標號標示,且其特徵將不再說明。相較於氣相磊晶設備1,氣相磊晶設備4的噴氣系統410更包括一鉬金屬鍍膜116於底板115之上。詳而言之,氣相磊晶設備4之第一噴氣單元413包括一中間構件114、一底板115、及一鉬金屬鍍膜116。為方便說明,在此實施例中,以第一構件115稱作底板,並以第一開孔115a稱作開孔。Referring to Figures 4A and 4B, Figure 4A shows a schematic view of a vapor phase epitaxy apparatus 4 according to an embodiment of the present invention, wherein Figure 4B shows an enlarged view of the M 3 region of Figure 4A. The same or similar structures of the vapor phase epitaxial apparatus 4 and the vapor phase epitaxy apparatus 1 of Fig. 1 will be designated by the same or similar reference numerals, and their features will not be described again. Compared with the vapor phase epitaxial device 1, the gas jet system 410 of the vapor phase epitaxy device 4 further includes a molybdenum metal plating film 116 on the bottom plate 115. In detail, the first air blowing unit 413 of the vapor phase epitaxy apparatus 4 includes an intermediate member 114, a bottom plate 115, and a molybdenum metal plating film 116.

The jet system 500 includes two first gas passages 511, a second gas passage 512, two first jet units 513, and a second jet unit 516. Each of the first air blowing units 513 is coupled to a first gas passage 511 and is 10-15 mm apart from each other. Each first jet unit 513 includes an intermediate member 514 and a first member 515.
第一氣體通路511提供一第三族前驅氣體(例如:氯化氫,HCl),該第三族前驅氣體在中間構件514中與設置於承載船514a元素(例入:鎵,Ga)反應後經由貫穿第一構件515之複數個第一開孔515a朝半導體元件W噴出。另一方面,第二氣體通路512提供一第五族前驅氣體(例如:氨,NH3 ),該第五族前驅氣體經由貫穿第二構件516之第二開孔516a朝半導體元件W噴出。此時,第三族前驅氣體與第五族前驅氣體(例如:氨,NH3 )於基板20上方的空間進行反應,進而於半導體元件W上成長第三族氮化物之薄膜。The first gas passage 511 provides a third group of precursor gases (for example, hydrogen chloride, HCl), and the third group of precursor gases are passed through the intermediate member 514 and reacted with elements disposed on the carrier vessel 514a (eg, gallium, Ga). The plurality of first openings 515a of the first member 515 are ejected toward the semiconductor element W. On the other hand, the second gas passage 512 provides a fifth group precursor gas (for example, ammonia, NH 3 ) which is ejected toward the semiconductor element W via the second opening 516a penetrating the second member 516. At this time, the third group precursor gas and the fifth group precursor gas (for example, ammonia, NH 3 ) are reacted in a space above the substrate 20 to further grow a film of the group III nitride on the semiconductor element W.
