Description
本發明係關於一種基板處理設備,且更特定言之,係關於一種藉由使用電漿來處理基板的設備及方法。The present invention relates to a substrate processing apparatus and, more particularly, to an apparatus and method for processing a substrate by using plasma.
半導體裝置之製造要求各種製程,諸如沈積製程、光刻製程、蝕刻製程、灰化製程、潔化製程、拋光製程等。許多包含沈積製程、蝕刻製程及灰化製程之製程用於藉由使用電漿來處理諸如晶圓之半導體基板。The fabrication of semiconductor devices requires various processes such as deposition processes, photolithography processes, etching processes, ashing processes, cleaning processes, polishing processes, and the like. A number of processes including deposition processes, etching processes, and ashing processes are used to process semiconductor substrates such as wafers by using plasma.
韓國專利公告第10-2011-0061334號中揭露一種藉由使用電漿來執行基板處理過程之設備的一個實例。設備包含位於電漿生成腔室與製程空間之間的隔片,且隔片係電氣接地。一般而言,電漿包含自由基、離子、電子及其類似物。隔片吸收一些離子及電子,並允許自由基通過提供有基板之區域,藉此除去光阻劑、原生氧化層或晶圓表面上化學反應形成之氧化層。An example of an apparatus for performing a substrate processing process by using plasma is disclosed in Korean Patent Publication No. 10-2011-0061334. The device includes a spacer between the plasma generation chamber and the process space, and the spacer is electrically grounded. In general, the plasma contains free radicals, ions, electrons, and the like. The spacer absorbs some ions and electrons and allows free radicals to pass through the area provided with the substrate, thereby removing the photoresist, the native oxide layer or the oxide layer formed by chemical reaction on the surface of the wafer.
一般而言,由於隔片係藉由螺釘耦接至腔室,因此隔片中佈置有耦接孔。隔片係藉由使用單一材料(諸如,具有高機械強度的鋁(Al)或塗佈有氧化層的鋁(陽極氧化鋁;anodized Al))製成,以避免在隔片中處理耦接孔時 隔片破裂。然而,若使用Al或塗佈有氧化層之鋁材料,由於自由基之通過率較低,故光阻劑或氧化層的去除率較低。In general, since the spacer is coupled to the chamber by screws, a coupling hole is disposed in the spacer. The spacer is made by using a single material such as aluminum (Al) having high mechanical strength or aluminum (anodized aluminum) coated with an oxide layer to avoid processing the coupling hole in the spacer. Time The septum ruptured. However, if Al or an aluminum material coated with an oxide layer is used, since the radical pass rate is low, the removal rate of the photoresist or the oxide layer is low.

由於上述結構,第一氣體係藉由電力直接激發為電漿,且第二氣體係藉由與第一氣體反應而激發為電漿。Due to the above structure, the first gas system is directly excited into plasma by electric power, and the second gas system is excited into plasma by reacting with the first gas.
上述實施例中所述之第一氣體及第二氣體之種類可變化。The types of the first gas and the second gas described in the above embodiments may vary.
此外,可僅提供第一氣體供給件320而並不提供第二氣體供給件340。Further, only the first gas supply member 320 may be provided and the second gas supply member 340 may not be provided.
電漿源400在排氣腔室144中自第一氣體生成電漿。依據實施例,電漿源400可為電感耦合之電漿源400。電漿源400具有天線420及電源440。天線420提供在排氣腔室144之外部,且環繞排氣腔室144若干周。天線420之一端連接至電源440,且另一端接地。電源440供應至天線420。依據實施例,電源440可為天線420供應高頻功率。The plasma source 400 generates plasma from the first gas in the exhaust chamber 144. According to an embodiment, the plasma source 400 can be an inductively coupled plasma source 400. The plasma source 400 has an antenna 420 and a power source 440. Antenna 420 is provided external to exhaust chamber 144 and surrounds exhaust chamber 144 for several weeks. One end of the antenna 420 is connected to the power source 440, and the other end is grounded. A power source 440 is supplied to the antenna 420. According to an embodiment, the power source 440 can supply the antenna 420 with high frequency power.
隔片500佈置在處理腔室120與電漿生成腔室140之間。當電漿供應至基板W上時,隔片500保持處理腔室120內之完整區域內的電漿密度及流量。隔片500接地。依據實施例,由於隔片500係提供以用於接觸製程腔室100,因此隔片500可藉由製程腔室100接地。選擇性地,隔片500可直接連接至額外接地線。因此,自由基係藉由隔片500供應至處理腔室120,此舉可防止離子及電子被引入至處理腔室120。The spacer 500 is disposed between the processing chamber 120 and the plasma generation chamber 140. When the plasma is supplied onto the substrate W, the spacer 500 maintains the plasma density and flow rate in the entire region within the processing chamber 120. The spacer 500 is grounded. According to an embodiment, since the spacer 500 is provided for contacting the process chamber 100, the spacer 500 can be grounded by the process chamber 100. Alternatively, the spacer 500 can be directly connected to an additional ground line. Thus, free radicals are supplied to the processing chamber 120 by the spacers 500, which prevents ions and electrons from being introduced into the processing chamber 120.
隔片500固定至製程腔室100。依據實施例,隔片500可耦接至電漿生成腔室140之下端。圖2至圖4為依據本 發明之實施例之隔片500的視圖。圖2為隔片500耦接時的透視圖。圖3為隔片500分離時的透視圖。圖4為隔片500的剖視圖。The spacer 500 is fixed to the process chamber 100. According to an embodiment, the spacer 500 can be coupled to the lower end of the plasma generation chamber 140. Figure 2 to Figure 4 are based on this A view of a septum 500 of an embodiment of the invention. 2 is a perspective view of the spacer 500 when coupled. Figure 3 is a perspective view of the spacer 500 when it is separated. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the spacer 500.
參閱圖2至圖4,隔片500具有注射板520及固定板540。Referring to FIGS. 2 through 4, the spacer 500 has an injection plate 520 and a fixing plate 540.
注射板520具有圓盤形狀。注射板520可實質上具有與基板W類似之直徑。自注射板520之上端延伸至下端的注射孔522界定在注射板520中。實質上具有幾乎相同之密度及直徑的注射孔522界定在注射板520的對應區域。選擇性地,依據界定於注射板520之區域,注射孔522可具有不同密度。此外,依據界定於注射板520之區域,注射孔522可具有不同直徑。電漿生成腔室140中之電漿係藉由注射孔522供應至處理腔室120。The injection plate 520 has a disk shape. The injection plate 520 can have a diameter substantially similar to the substrate W. An injection hole 522 extending from the upper end to the lower end of the injection plate 520 is defined in the injection plate 520. Injection holes 522 having substantially the same density and diameter are defined in corresponding regions of the injection plate 520. Alternatively, the injection apertures 522 can have different densities depending on the area defined by the injection plate 520. Further, depending on the area defined in the injection plate 520, the injection holes 522 can have different diameters. The plasma in the plasma generation chamber 140 is supplied to the processing chamber 120 through the injection port 522.
固定板540耦接至注射板520。固定板540具有環形形狀,且環繞注射板520。耦接孔542界定在固定板540中。複數個耦接孔542具固定間隔地提供在沿固定板540之長度方向上。各耦接孔542可提供為在垂直方向穿過之通孔。耦接孔542之內表面可具有螺紋。隔片500係藉由插入穿過耦接孔542之耦接件590而固定至製程腔室100。螺釘可用作耦接件590。The fixing plate 540 is coupled to the injection plate 520. The fixing plate 540 has an annular shape and surrounds the injection plate 520. The coupling hole 542 is defined in the fixing plate 540. A plurality of coupling holes 542 are provided at a fixed interval along the length of the fixing plate 540. Each of the coupling holes 542 may be provided as a through hole that passes through in the vertical direction. The inner surface of the coupling hole 542 may have a thread. The spacer 500 is fixed to the process chamber 100 by a coupling 590 inserted through the coupling hole 542. A screw can be used as the coupling 590.
依據實驗,當針對由各單一材料(亦即,石英、Al2 O3 、Al及陽極氧化鋁(anodized Al))製成之隔片量測自由基通過率時,以石英、Al、陽極氧化鋁(anodized Al)及Al2 O3 之次序提供更佳之通過率。然而,在由具有極佳之自由基 通過率之石英材料製成的隔片中處理耦接孔時,石英易受脆性影響,因此很容易破碎。依據實驗,當針對由各單一材料(亦即,石英、Al2 O3 、Al及陽極氧化鋁(anodized Al))製成之隔片量測脆性時,脆性強度最強為石英,接著依序為Al2 O3、 陽極氧化鋁(anodized Al)以及Al。According to the experiment, when the free radical passage rate is measured for the separator made of each single material (that is, quartz, Al 2 O 3 , Al, and anodized Al), it is oxidized by quartz, Al, and anodizing. The order of aluminum (anodized Al) and Al 2 O 3 provides a better pass rate. However, when the coupling hole is processed in a separator made of a quartz material having an excellent radical passage rate, the quartz is susceptible to brittleness and thus is easily broken. According to the experiment, when the brittleness is measured for the separator made of each single material (ie, quartz, Al 2 O 3 , Al, and anodized Al), the brittle strength is the strongest, followed by Al 2 O 3 , anodized aluminum, and Al.
依據本發明之實施例,由於注射板520具有注射孔522,因此自由基可較好地通過注射板520。此外,由於耦接孔542界定在固定板540中,因此其製造過程需簡單。此外,由於固定板540環繞注射板520以界定隔片500之外部,因此其裝卸需簡單。因此,注射板520由相對於固定板540之材料具有相對高之自由基通過率的第一材料製成。此外,固定板540由相對於注射板520之材料具有相對強之脆性的第二材料製成。舉例而言,第一材料為石英或包含石英之材料。第二材料可為Al、陽極氧化鋁(anodized Al)或包含至少一種前述材料之材料。然而,固定板540及注射板520之材料並不僅限於上述實施例,因此在慮及自由基通過率及脆性後可有多種選擇。According to an embodiment of the present invention, since the injection plate 520 has the injection hole 522, the radicals can preferably pass through the injection plate 520. Further, since the coupling hole 542 is defined in the fixing plate 540, the manufacturing process thereof is simple. Further, since the fixing plate 540 surrounds the injection plate 520 to define the outside of the spacer 500, its handling is simple. Therefore, the injection plate 520 is made of a first material having a relatively high radical passage rate with respect to the material of the fixed plate 540. Further, the fixing plate 540 is made of a second material having a relatively strong brittleness with respect to the material of the injection plate 520. For example, the first material is quartz or a material comprising quartz. The second material may be Al, anodized Al or a material comprising at least one of the foregoing materials. However, the materials of the fixing plate 540 and the injection plate 520 are not limited to the above embodiments, and thus various options are available after taking into consideration the radical passing rate and brittleness.

The height of the recess 544 is substantially the same as the thickness of the injection plate 520. Due to the above structure, after the injection plate 520, the upper plate 560, and the lower plate 580 are assembled, the edge region of the injection plate 520 is disposed to overlap the upper plate projection 566 from the top. Viewed from the bottom, the edge regions of the injection plate 520 are arranged to overlap the lower plate projections 586.
