Description

具雙熱電子源之離子源及其熱電子產生方法Ion source with dual hot electron source and hot electron generating method thereof

本發明係關於一種離子佈植機的離子源,尤指一種具雙熱電子源之離子源。 The present invention relates to an ion source for an ion implanter, and more particularly to an ion source having a dual thermal electron source.

離子佈植機在半導體製程中是用以對半導體晶圓中的待摻雜區進行離子佈植,而該離子佈植機中的離子源是用來產生離子佈植用的離子束,而目前離子源依照不同的熱電子產生方式概有二種:其中一種伯納式離子源(Bernas Ion Source),另一種為間接加熱陰極式離子源(Indirectly-Heated-Cathode Ion Source;IHC Ion Source)。 The ion implanter is used in the semiconductor process to ion implant the region to be doped in the semiconductor wafer, and the ion source in the ion implanter is used to generate an ion beam for ion implantation, and currently There are two types of ion sources according to different thermoelectric generation methods: one Berna Ion Source and the other Indirectly-Heated-Cathode Ion Source (IHC Ion Source).

請配合參閱圖6A所示,伯納式離子源的熱電子源係直接採用一燈絲62,該燈絲62係自一電弧室60外殼61一側向內穿經並固定於該側的內板611。當一燈絲電源供應單元70提供電流予該燈絲62,燈絲62溫度會升高,當燈絲62溫度升高至達到一定高溫(如溫度大於攝氏1000度)後會產生電子。此時,再將一電弧電源供應單元72的正、負電極分別耦接至離子源之電弧室60的內板611及該燈絲62,於電弧室60內構成一電子的加速電場,以吸引該燈絲62的電子至該電弧室60中,使該電弧室60內的摻雜源氣體離子化而產生不同種類的離子。由於電弧電源供應單元72提供予電弧室60的內板611的電壓落於60V至150V的電壓範圍中,故通過該加速電場的電子的能量大幅提升,成為高能量的 熱電子,高能量的熱電子可多次撞擊摻雜源氣體,使其產生不同價的帶正電或帶負電離子;其中帶正電離子會同樣受到該加速電場吸引,而提高向外發射的能量。高能量離子會多次噴濺(Sputtering)該燈絲62,使燈絲62損壞而需更換。 Referring to FIG. 6A, the thermoelectron source of the Berner-type ion source directly adopts a filament 62 which penetrates from the side of the outer casing 61 of the arc chamber 60 and is fixed to the inner plate 611 of the side. . When a filament power supply unit 70 supplies current to the filament 62, the temperature of the filament 62 rises, and electrons are generated when the temperature of the filament 62 rises to a certain high temperature (e.g., the temperature is greater than 1000 degrees Celsius). At this time, the positive and negative electrodes of an arc power supply unit 72 are respectively coupled to the inner plate 611 of the arc chamber 60 of the ion source and the filament 62, and an electron accelerating electric field is formed in the arc chamber 60 to attract the The electrons of the filament 62 are in the arc chamber 60, and the dopant source gas in the arc chamber 60 is ionized to generate different kinds of ions. Since the voltage supplied from the arc power supply unit 72 to the inner plate 611 of the arc chamber 60 falls within a voltage range of 60V to 150V, the energy of the electrons passing through the acceleration electric field is greatly increased to become high energy. The hot electrons and high-energy hot electrons can strike the doping source gas multiple times to produce positively or negatively charged ions of different valence; wherein the positively charged ions are also attracted by the accelerating electric field, and the outward emission is improved. energy. The high energy ions will sputter the filament 62 multiple times, causing the filament 62 to be damaged and requiring replacement.

為提高燈絲62的使用壽命,如圖6B所示的間接加熱陰極式離子源的電弧室60’,其中的熱電子源係進一步包含有一覆蓋該燈絲62的金屬遮罩,並與該電弧電源供應單元72的負電極耦接,故作為陰極621用(下稱統稱為陰極)。當該燈絲62升溫發射電子後,由於該陰極621連接至一偏流電源供應單元71的正電極而呈正電位,而加速吸引該燈絲62發射的電子,能量被提高的電子會不停撞擊該陰極621的外側,使該陰極621的溫度提高;同理,當該陰極621加熱至一定溫度後發射電子,電子即受到由該電弧電源供應單元72提供的電壓構成的加速電場吸引,成為高能量的熱電子而向該電弧室60’發射。由於高能量熱電子同樣使電弧室60’內的摻雜源氣體離子化而產生帶正、負電的離子,帶正電離子同樣會受到加速電場而反向加速朝向陰極621發射,從而噴濺陰極621的內側,雖然可避免燈絲62直接被離子噴濺,但經過一段時間後,該陰極621同樣會被擊穿而需更換;因此,圖6A及圖6B的單組熱電子源結構的電弧室60、60’,其放電空間的離子濃度會集中在設置熱電子源的一側,且距該熱電子源愈近的離子濃度會愈高,呈現一種單一高濃度離子噴濺效應。 In order to increase the service life of the filament 62, the arc chamber 60' of the cathode ion source is indirectly heated as shown in FIG. 6B, wherein the source of the hot electrons further comprises a metal mask covering the filament 62, and the arc power supply is supplied The negative electrode of unit 72 is coupled to be used as cathode 621 (hereinafter collectively referred to as cathode). After the filament 62 is heated to emit electrons, since the cathode 621 is connected to the positive electrode of a bias current power supply unit 71 to have a positive potential, and the electrons emitted from the filament 62 are accelerated, the electrons whose energy is increased will continuously hit the cathode 621. On the outside, the temperature of the cathode 621 is increased; similarly, when the cathode 621 is heated to a certain temperature, electrons are emitted, and the electrons are attracted by the accelerating electric field formed by the voltage supplied from the arc power supply unit 72, thereby becoming a high-energy heat. Electrons are emitted to the arc chamber 60'. Since the high-energy hot electrons also ionize the dopant source gas in the arc chamber 60' to generate positive and negative ions, the positively charged ions are also subjected to an acceleration electric field and reverse acceleration toward the cathode 621, thereby sputtering the cathode. The inner side of the 621 can prevent the filament 62 from being directly splashed by ions, but after a period of time, the cathode 621 is also broken down and needs to be replaced; therefore, the arc chamber of the single set of thermoelectric source structures of FIGS. 6A and 6B 60, 60', the ion concentration of the discharge space will be concentrated on the side where the hot electron source is disposed, and the closer the ion concentration is to the hot electron source, the higher the concentration of ions will present a single high concentration ion splash effect.

無論圖6A或圖6B的熱電子源結構,其對於離子源來說均為一項耗材,也因此許多廠商投入開發延長熱電子源的使用壽命的技術,以台灣公告第I450303號「間接加熱電極式離子佈植機之陰極」發明專利可知(如圖7所示),係將一陰極80正對該電弧室另一側的斥拒極81(Repeller)的中間前端801加厚,使其可延長被離子噴賤侵蝕的時間,相對延長使用壽命。再如中國大陸公告第CN203631482號「離子源及離子注入機」實用新型專利(如圖8所示),同樣將陰極80’前端801’的直徑及厚度增大,增加陰極的使用壽命。而台灣公告第 I493590號「用於延長一離子源之使用壽命之裝置及方法」發明專利,如圖9所示,則是於電弧室內設置二組以上的熱電子源80a、80b,惟一次僅使用其中一組熱電子源80a,直到該組熱電子源80a失效後,再切換使用第二組熱電子源80b,惟需配合一旋轉結構811更換斥拒極81的相對位置,才能續行離子化;因此,第I493590號發明專利實際上是藉由切換不同組熱電子源80a、80b來延長更換熱電子源80a、80b的時間,對於單組熱電子源來說,其使用壽命並未因此而被延長。 Regardless of the structure of the hot electron source of FIG. 6A or FIG. 6B, it is a consumable material for the ion source, and therefore many manufacturers have invested in the development of a technology for prolonging the service life of the hot electron source, and the Taiwan Indirect Heating Electrode No. I450303 The cathode of the ion implanter is known from the invention patent (as shown in Fig. 7), and a cathode 80 is thickened by the intermediate front end 801 of the Repeller 81 on the other side of the arc chamber. Extend the time of erosion by ion squirting and extend the service life. Another example is the utility model patent “Ion Source and Ion Implanter” (shown in Figure 8) of CN203631482, which also increases the diameter and thickness of the front end 801' of the cathode 80' to increase the service life of the cathode. Taiwan Announcement Inventive patent No. I493590, "A device and method for extending the service life of an ion source", as shown in Fig. 9, is to set two or more sets of hot electron sources 80a, 80b in the arc chamber, but only one group is used at a time. The hot electron source 80a, until the set of the hot electron source 80a fails, switches to use the second set of the hot electron source 80b, but needs to replace the relative position of the repellent pole 81 with a rotating structure 811 to continue the ionization; therefore, The invention patent No. I493590 actually extends the time for replacement of the hot electron sources 80a, 80b by switching between different sets of thermoelectron sources 80a, 80b, for which the service life of a single set of thermoelectron sources is not extended.

由上述說明可知,目前實際延長熱電子源的使用壽命的技術仍以結構性改良為主,惟如此必須生產不同尺寸規格的陰極,且實際可延長使用壽命的時間有限。如第I493590號發明專利提出的技術雖可延長更換離子源中熱電子源的時間,但需要監測使用中的熱電子源是否已失效,以即時切換至另一備用熱電子源;此外,另需進一步增加於電弧室內增加旋轉結構,以匹配不同的熱電子源位置來維持正常使用。因此,如何在不改變電弧室結構設計的前提下,延長熱電子源的使用壽命,為本領域極欲解決的技術問題。 It can be seen from the above description that the current technology for actually extending the service life of the hot electron source is still mainly based on structural improvement, but it is necessary to produce cathodes of different sizes and specifications, and the actual life extension time is limited. The technique proposed in the invention patent No. I493590 can extend the time for replacing the hot electron source in the ion source, but it is necessary to monitor whether the hot electron source in use has failed, so as to immediately switch to another standby hot electron source; Further increase in the arc chamber to increase the rotating structure to match different hot electron source locations to maintain normal use. Therefore, how to extend the service life of the hot electron source without changing the design of the arc chamber structure is a technical problem that is highly sought after in the art.

有鑑於前揭既有離子源的熱電子源延長使用壽命的技術,均需改變電弧室結構;因此,本發明主要目的在於不改變電弧室結構下,提出一種延長熱電子源使用壽命的具雙熱電子源之離子源及其熱電子產生方法。 In view of the above-mentioned technology for prolonging the service life of the hot electron source of the ion source, it is necessary to change the structure of the arc chamber; therefore, the main purpose of the present invention is to provide a double extension of the service life of the hot electron source without changing the structure of the arc chamber.

欲達上述目的所使用的主要技術手段係令該具雙熱電子源之離子源包含有:一電弧室,係包含有:一本體,係具有一放電空間; 一第一熱電子源,係自該本體的一第一側穿入並電絕緣固定於該第一側,以曝露於該本體的放電空間中;以及一第二熱電子源,係自該本體的一第二側穿入並電絕緣固定於該第二側,以曝露於該本體的放電空間中;以及一電源供應裝置,係包含有:一加熱電源供應單元,係耦接至該第一及第二熱電子源,構成一電流迴路;以及一電弧電源供應單元,係耦接至該電弧室的本體及該第一及第二熱電子源;其中該電弧電源供應單元同時提供落在20V至45V電壓範圍之間的輸出電壓予該第一及第二熱電子源。 The main technical means for achieving the above purpose is that the ion source having the dual hot electron source comprises: an arc chamber comprising: a body having a discharge space; a first source of thermal electrons penetrating from a first side of the body and electrically insulated from the first side for exposure to a discharge space of the body; and a second source of thermal electrons from the body a second side is penetrated and electrically insulated from the second side to be exposed in the discharge space of the body; and a power supply device includes: a heating power supply unit coupled to the first And a second source of thermal electrons, forming a current loop; and an arc power supply unit coupled to the body of the arc chamber and the first and second sources of thermal electrons; wherein the arc power supply unit is simultaneously provided to fall at 20V An output voltage between the voltage ranges up to 45V is applied to the first and second sources of thermionics.

上述本發明主要調降該離子源的電弧電源供應單元的電壓落在20V至45V電壓範圍之間,令該電弧室的本體分別與該第一及第二熱電子源之間的加速電場所提供予電子及離子的能量減弱。由於該電弧室的本體內產生之離子朝向第一及第二熱電子源發射能量減弱,減低對各該第一及第二熱電子源的噴濺,以相對延長了各該第一及第二熱電子源的使用壽命。再者,由於第一及第二熱電子源產生的電子通過加速電場的能量較弱,可避免低能量的熱電子多次撞擊已離子化的離子,以有效減少不必要的二價或三價帶正電的離子,相對提高離子束(萃取電流)中有用離子的比例。 The above-mentioned invention mainly reduces the voltage of the arc power supply unit of the ion source to fall between the voltage range of 20V to 45V, and provides the acceleration electric field between the body of the arc chamber and the first and second heat electron sources respectively. The energy of electrons and ions is weakened. Since the energy generated by the ions generated in the body of the arc chamber is weakened toward the first and second hot electron sources, the splashing of the first and second hot electron sources is reduced to relatively extend the first and second The lifetime of the hot electron source. Furthermore, since the electrons generated by the first and second hot electron sources are weaker in energy by accelerating the electric field, low-energy hot electrons can be prevented from repeatedly striking the ionized ions, thereby effectively reducing unnecessary divalent or trivalent Positively charged ions increase the proportion of useful ions in the ion beam (extraction current).

欲達上述目的本發明所使用的主要技術手段係令該離子源包括一電弧室,該電弧室的本體具有一放電空間,其中該本體二側分別電絕緣地穿設有二個熱電子源;其中該熱電子產生方法包括:提供一加熱電源予該二個熱電子源,使各該熱電子源加熱至一第一預定溫度後發射熱電子;以及 提供一電弧電源予該本體及各該熱電子源,以加速吸引該二個熱電子源所發射之該熱電子至該電弧室的放電空間;其中該電弧電源提供落在20V至45V電壓範圍之間的電壓。 The main technical means for the purpose of the present invention is that the ion source comprises an arc chamber, the body of the arc chamber has a discharge space, wherein the two sides of the body are electrically insulated with two sources of thermal electrons; The method for generating a hot electron includes: providing a heating power source to the two sources of hot electrons, and heating the source of the hot electrons to a first predetermined temperature to emit the hot electrons; Providing an arc power to the body and each of the hot electron sources to accelerate the attraction of the hot electrons emitted by the two hot electron sources to the discharge space of the arc chamber; wherein the arc power supply is provided in a voltage range of 20V to 45V The voltage between them.

上述本發明主要調降電弧電源的電壓,使其落在20V至45V電壓範圍之間,令該電弧室的本體分別與該第一及第二熱電子源之間的加速電場所提供予電子及離子的能量減弱,低能量的離子對各該第一及第二熱電子源的噴濺效應得以和緩,以延長了各該第一及第二熱電子源的使用壽命,而低能量的熱電子則可避免熱電子多次撞擊已離子化的離子,有效減少不必要的二價或三價帶正電的離子,相對提高離子束(萃取電流)中所需要的離子的比例。 The above-mentioned invention mainly reduces the voltage of the arc power source so as to fall between the voltage ranges of 20V to 45V, so that the body of the arc chamber is respectively supplied to the accelerating electric field between the first and second thermoelectron sources and The energy of the ions is weakened, and the splashing effect of the low-energy ions on the first and second hot electron sources is moderated to extend the service life of each of the first and second hot electron sources, and the low-energy hot electrons It can avoid the hot electrons from hitting the ionized ions multiple times, effectively reducing the unnecessary divalent or trivalent positively charged ions, and relatively increasing the proportion of ions required in the ion beam (extraction current).

在本實施例中,雖然該電弧室10包含第一及第二熱電子源14a、14b,但其中一熱電子源14b裝設於既有電弧室的斥拒極位置;因此,就本發明的電弧室10的本體結構並未被改變。當該燈絲電源供應單元51係提供電流予該電流迴路,該第一及第二熱電子源14a、14b的燈絲141會加熱至一定溫度後放射熱電子至該電弧室10的放電空間100中。接著,當該電弧電源供應單元53提供20V至45V電壓範圍之間的輸出電壓,即可於各該燈絲141與各內板12、12a、12b之間建立一加速電場,使本體二側的燈絲141所產生的電子被加速發射至該電弧室100的放電空間100中,對通入之摻雜源氣體離子化產生數種離子。 In the present embodiment, although the arc chamber 10 includes first and second sources of thermal electrons 14a, 14b, one of the sources of thermal electrons 14b is disposed at a repulsive pole position of the existing arc chamber; The body structure of the arc chamber 10 has not been altered. When the filament power supply unit 51 supplies current to the current loop, the filaments 141 of the first and second thermoelectron sources 14a, 14b are heated to a certain temperature and then radiate hot electrons into the discharge space 100 of the arc chamber 10. Then, when the arc power supply unit 53 provides an output voltage between the voltage ranges of 20V to 45V, an accelerating electric field can be established between each of the filaments 141 and the inner plates 12, 12a, 12b, so that the filaments on both sides of the body The electrons generated by 141 are acceleratedly emitted into the discharge space 100 of the arc chamber 100, and ionization of the doped source gas generates several ions.

由於本發明調降提供予該電弧室內板12、12a、12b之電弧電源的電壓,可使該電弧室10的本體分別與該第一及第二熱電子源14a、14b之間的加速電場所提供予電子及離子的能量減弱;其中低能量的離子可減低對各該第一及第二熱電子源14a、14b的燈絲141噴濺,以延長燈絲141使用壽命。同理,由於熱電子在撞擊後能量衰減,對於低能量的熱電子來說,經一次撞擊後其能量會更減低,藉此減少對一價離子再撞擊出二價或三價離子的機會,有效減少不必要的二價或三價帶正電的離子,相對提高離子束(萃取電流)中所需要的離子的比例。本發明於電弧室10本體的第一側及第二側分別設置第一及第二熱電子源14a、14b,故可同時對放電空間100發射熱電子,更加均勻地離子化該放電空間100內的摻雜源氣體。 Since the present invention reduces the voltage supplied to the arc power source of the arc chambers 12, 12a, 12b, the body of the arc chamber 10 and the accelerating electric field between the first and second thermoelectron sources 14a, 14b, respectively. The energy provided to the electrons and ions is attenuated; wherein the low energy ions can reduce the sputtering of the filaments 141 of each of the first and second hot electron sources 14a, 14b to extend the life of the filament 141. Similarly, since the energy of the hot electrons decays after the impact, for low-energy hot electrons, the energy is reduced after one impact, thereby reducing the chance of the monovalent ions colliding with the divalent or trivalent ions. Effectively reduce unnecessary divalent or trivalent positively charged ions, and relatively increase the proportion of ions required in the ion beam (extraction current). According to the present invention, the first and second thermoelectron sources 14a, 14b are respectively disposed on the first side and the second side of the body of the arc chamber 10, so that the electrons can be simultaneously emitted to the discharge space 100, and the discharge space 100 is more uniformly ionized. Doped source gas.

The negative electrode (-) of the bias current supply unit 52 is coupled to the current loop, i.e., the filament 141 coupled to the first and second sources of thermal electrons 14a', 14b'.

當該燈絲電源供應單元51輸出電流至該電流迴路,使該第一及第二熱電子源的燈絲141加熱至一第一預定溫度後,向放電空間放射電子;此時,該偏流電源供應單元52的正、負電極)(+)、(-)係分別耦接至該陰極142及該燈絲141,以於各該陰極142及其對應的燈絲141之間建立一加速電場,吸引該燈絲141放射熱電子撞擊其對應的陰極142,使該陰極142加熱;待該陰極142加熱至一第二預定溫度後即發射熱電子至該電弧室100內。該電弧電源供應單元53的正、負電極(+)、(-)則分別耦接至該複數內板12、12a、12b及該陰極142;其中該電弧電源供應單元53提供落在20V至45V電壓範圍之間的輸出電壓,於各該陰極142與各內板12、12a、12b之間建立一加速電場,使該陰極142的熱電子被加速發射至該放電空間100中,對通入之摻雜源氣體均勻地離子化,以產生數種離子。 When the filament power supply unit 51 outputs a current to the current loop, heating the filaments 141 of the first and second thermoelectron sources to a first predetermined temperature, and emitting electrons to the discharge space; at this time, the bias current power supply unit The positive and negative electrodes (52) of (52) are coupled to the cathode 142 and the filament 141, respectively, to establish an accelerating electric field between each of the cathodes 142 and the corresponding filaments 141 to attract the filaments 141.

適用於本發明的摻雜源氣體可為四氟化鍺、鍺烷、三氟化硼、二硼烷、四氟化矽、矽烷、砷化氫或磷化氫其中之一。此外,適用於本發明的摻雜源氣體也可以為由一摻雜氣體與一補充氣體合成的一摻雜組成氣體,該摻雜氣體為四氟化鍺、鍺烷、三氟化硼、二硼烷、四氟化矽、矽烷、砷化氫或磷化氫,該補充氣體為氬氣、氫氣、氮氣、氦氣、氨氣、氟氣或氙氣;即各該參雜氣體可配合該些補充氣體的其中之一共同混合成該摻雜組成氣體,以作為本發明的摻雜源氣體之用;亦或,可分別使用各該參雜氣體及其中一補充氣體,令其共同流入該電弧室以構成一共流(co-flow)氣體,同樣可作為本發明的摻雜源氣體之用。 The dopant source gas suitable for use in the present invention may be one of ruthenium tetrafluoride, decane, boron trifluoride, diborane, ruthenium tetrafluoride, decane, arsine or phosphine. In addition, the doping source gas suitable for the present invention may also be a doping constituent gas synthesized by a doping gas and a supplementary gas, and the doping gas is barium tetrafluoride, germanium, boron trifluoride, and two. Borane, ruthenium tetrafluoride, decane, arsine or phosphine, the make-up gas is argon, hydrogen, nitrogen, helium, ammonia, fluorine or helium; that is, each of the dopant gases can be combined with the One of the supplemental gases is co-mixed into the doping constituent gas for use as the doping source gas of the present invention; or, each of the doping gas and one of the supplementary gases may be separately used to flow into the arc together The chamber is configured to constitute a co-flow gas and can also be used as the dopant source gas of the present invention.

以下進一步說明針對前揭數種不同摻雜源氣體進行實驗量測後,獲得較佳的電弧電源電壓為: The following further demonstrates that after performing experimental measurements on several different dopant source gases, the preferred arc power supply voltage is:

當自該電弧室通入的摻雜源氣體包含有三氟化硼(BF3)或摻雜源氣體為三氟化硼(BF3),該電弧電源的電壓為30V~45V。 When the doping source gas introduced from the arc chamber contains boron trifluoride (BF3) or the doping source gas is boron trifluoride (BF3), the voltage of the arc power source is 30V to 45V.

當自該電弧室通入的摻雜源氣體包含有砷化氫(AsH3)或磷化氫(PH3),該電弧電源的電壓為25V~40V。 When the doping source gas introduced from the arc chamber contains arsine (AsH3) or phosphine (PH3), the voltage of the arc power source is 25V to 40V.

當自該電弧室通入的摻雜源氣體包含有四氟化矽(SiF4),該電弧電源的電壓為25V~40V。 When the doping source gas introduced from the arc chamber contains germanium tetrafluoride (SiF4), the voltage of the arc power source is 25V to 40V.

由上述可知,本發明藉由較低電弧電源電壓所建立的加速電場,會使得該熱電子產生元件產生的熱電子能量相對減弱。理論上,熱電子正面撞離摻雜源氣體最外圍的第一個價電子所需的能量並不高,只需由8V至15V的加速電場所供予該熱電子的能量即可,但若進一步撞離摻雜源氣體的第二個價電子,則熱電子需要22V以上的加速電場提供其更大的能量才能實現。然而,熱電子的撞擊方向無法被控制,故基於考慮熱電子的撞擊力以及一定大小的萃取電流(離子束)下,本發明調整電弧電源的電壓落在20V至45V電壓範圍之間,有相當大的機會至少撞離摻雜源氣體的最外圍的第一個價電子;因此,雖然本發明相較既有離子源降低電弧電源的電壓,令製造出熱電子的能量相對較低,但也因為較低能量的熱電子在撞擊後能量衰減,而可減少撞擊出二價或三價離子的機會。 It can be seen from the above that the accelerated electric field established by the lower arc power supply voltage of the present invention causes the thermal electron energy generated by the hot electron generating element to be relatively weakened. Theoretically, the energy required to strike the first valence electron at the outermost periphery of the doping source gas from the front side of the hot electron is not high, and it is only necessary to supply the energy of the hot electron from an accelerated electric field of 8V to 15V, but if Further knocking away from the second valence electron of the doped source gas, the hot electron requires an acceleration electric field of 22V or more to provide more energy to achieve. However, the direction of impact of the hot electrons cannot be controlled. Therefore, based on the impact force of the hot electrons and the extraction current (ion beam) of a certain size, the voltage of the adjusting arc power supply of the present invention falls between the voltage ranges of 20V to 45V, which is equivalent. A large opportunity to at least strike the first valence electron at the outermost periphery of the dopant source gas; therefore, although the present invention reduces the voltage of the arc power source compared to the existing ion source, the energy for producing the hot electron is relatively low, but Because the lower energy hot electrons decay after the impact, the chance of hitting the divalent or trivalent ions can be reduced.

以三氟化硼作為通入本發明第二實施例的電弧室(單組熱電子源)及既有離子源的電弧室(單組熱電子源)進行離子化;其中設定本發明電弧電源的電壓為40V,而既有電弧室的電弧電源電壓為85V,再調整六組由小至大的電弧電源電流(依序加大功率),進行該電弧室的萃取電流(離子束)及其中有用的一價的硼離子(B+)的ROI電流的量測;其中ROI電流係指在晶圓表面上可供佈植的終端電流稱為ROI電流(Region Of Interest;ROI),實際量測結果如下表一所示。 Boron trifluoride is used as an arc chamber (a single set of thermoelectron sources) and a plasma chamber (a single set of thermoelectron sources) that pass through the second embodiment of the present invention; wherein the arc power supply of the present invention is set The voltage is 40V, and the arc power supply voltage of the arc chamber is 85V. Then, six sets of small to large arc power supply currents (in order to increase the power) are adjusted, and the extraction current (ion beam) of the arc chamber is performed. The measurement of the ROI current of the monovalent boron ion (B + ); wherein the ROI current refers to the terminal current available for implantation on the surface of the wafer is called the ROI current (ROI), the actual measurement result As shown in Table 1 below.

由上表一可知,當本發明設定電弧電源的電壓為40V,而設定既有電弧電源的電壓為85V時,同樣以三氟化硼作通入電弧室後所量測得到的萃取電流及有用的一價硼離子的ROI電流數值,很明顯可比較出在各組相同的萃取電流(20mA、25mA、30mA、35mA、40mA、45mA)中,本發明的一價的硼離子的ROI電流數值確實較既有離子源為高。 As can be seen from the above Table 1, when the voltage of the arc power supply is set to 40V, and the voltage of the existing arc power source is set to 85V, the extraction current measured by using boron trifluoride as the arc chamber is also useful. The ROI current value of the monovalent boron ion is obviously comparable to the same extraction current (20 mA, 25 mA, 30 mA, 35 mA, 40 mA, 45 mA) in each group, and the ROI current value of the monovalent boron ion of the present invention is indeed Higher than existing ion sources.

至於熱電子源的使用壽命,則同樣以前揭條件產生35mA萃取電流,並使用厚度為0.3英吋(inch)的陰極進行測試,如果如下表二所示,本發明陰極厚度由0.3英吋經過45天會減至0.28英吋,而既有電弧室則於使用0.3英吋陰極開始到陰極0.0英吋(被擊穿)僅為期29天;因此,本發明確實可有效延期陰極的使用壽命。 As for the service life of the hot electron source, the same extraction condition produces a 35 mA extraction current and is tested using a cathode having a thickness of 0.3 inch. If the cathode of the present invention is shown in Table 2 below, the thickness of the cathode is from 0.3 inches to 45. The day will be reduced to 0.28 inches, while the existing arc chamber will start from the 0.3 inch cathode to the cathode 0.0 inch (breakdown) for only 29 days; therefore, the present invention can effectively extend the life of the cathode.

前揭量測數據是以本發明第二較佳實施例的電弧室裝設單組熱電子源進行量測而得,如依圖2B所示安裝二組熱電子源14a’、14b’的電弧室10’,由於總體產生的熱電子數量增加,可量測到較上表一更高的一價的硼離子的ROI電流數值;此外,相較於離子濃度集中在單組熱電子源一側的電弧室,本發明圖2B的二組熱電子源14a’、14b’可使總體產生的離子均勻地分佈在放電空間100兩側,而且相較設置單組熱電子源的電弧室的單一高濃度離子噴濺效應,本發明圖2B所示的電弧室10’,可將高濃度離子噴濺效應有效地分散到該二組熱電子源14a’、14b’上,令其噴濺效應減半,以大幅延長表二所示的陰極142使用天數,也可增長電弧室10’的壽命。 The pre-measurement data is obtained by measuring a single set of thermoelectron sources in the arc chamber of the second preferred embodiment of the present invention, and the arcs of the two sets of thermoelectron sources 14a', 14b' are installed as shown in FIG. 2B. In chamber 10', due to the increase in the total amount of hot electrons generated, the ROI current value of the higher monovalent boron ion can be measured compared with the above table 1; in addition, the ion concentration is concentrated on the side of the single group of the hot electron source. The arc chamber, the two sets of thermoelectron sources 14a', 14b' of FIG. 2B of the present invention can uniformly distribute the generally generated ions on both sides of the discharge space 100, and is higher than the single arc chamber in which a single set of thermoelectron sources are disposed. The concentration ion splash effect, the arc chamber 10' shown in FIG. 2B of the present invention can effectively disperse the high concentration ion sputtering effect on the two sets of the hot electron sources 14a', 14b', so that the splash effect is halved. In order to greatly extend the number of days of use of the cathode 142 shown in Table 2, the life of the arc chamber 10' can also be increased.

再請參閱圖1及圖3,為本發明的離子源1以複數彈性勾扣組件將該散熱裝置20及電弧室10緊扣於該基座30上,即該基座30的下基板31上螺設有四個等距離的L形固定件32,各該固定件32上勾設有一彈簧33的一端,該彈簧33另一端則勾扣於一勾條34一端,該勾條34另一端形成有一勾部341,以勾扣於該電弧室10的該萃取電極板13的二相對長邊,於扣合後受到該彈簧33下拉的回復力,該電弧室10及其下方的散熱裝置20即可緊扣於在該基座30的頂面301上。 Referring to FIG. 1 and FIG. 3 again, the ion source 1 of the present invention is fastened to the base 30 by the plurality of elastic hook assemblies, that is, the lower substrate 31 of the base 30. The screw is provided with four equidistant L-shaped fixing members 32, one end of a spring 33 is hooked on each of the fixing members 32, and the other end of the spring 33 is hooked to one end of a hook strip 34, and the other end of the strip 34 is formed. There is a hook portion 341 for hooking the two opposite long sides of the extraction electrode plate 13 of the arc chamber 10, and receiving a restoring force of the spring 33 after the fastening, the arc chamber 10 and the heat sink 20 therebelow It can be fastened to the top surface 301 of the base 30.

當調大電弧電源功率時,該電弧室的溫度會隨之提升,因此本發明使用高散熱的散熱裝置20,該高散熱的散熱裝置20係包含有一散熱本體21及至少一冷卻媒介管22。該散熱本體21的底面212係設置於該基座30的頂面301,其頂面211係全平面地貼平於該電弧室外殼11的底面,再如圖4所示,本實施例的該散熱本體21的二相對短側214係自該頂面211分別向下向內漸縮,該散熱本體21的底面212小於頂面211;再如圖5所示,為另一散熱裝置20’的實施例,該散熱本體21的二相對短側214的下部向下向內凹設一空間216,該散熱本體21的底面212小於頂面211;相較於圖5所示的散熱裝置30的實施例,可快速 將電弧室10傳導至該散熱本體21的頂面211的熱,較快速地集中至該散熱本體21的中間。再者,為不與該進氣管40干涉,再配合圖3所示,該散熱本體21對應該進氣管40的一側面213係向內凹設有一凹槽215,該凹槽215係貫穿該散熱本體21的頂面211及底面212,由於且該進氣管40的外管壁與該凹槽215內壁面有一間距,使該進氣管40不與該散熱本體21接觸。各該冷卻媒介管22係穿經該散熱本體21,並自該散熱本體21底面向下穿出二支管221、222,並自該基座30的頂面301插入該基座30中,以外接一冷卻媒介(圖中未示)。再者,其中一支管221係作為冷卻媒介進入管;另一支管222則作為冷卻媒介的排出管,使該冷卻媒介可於該冷卻媒介管22中流動。較佳地,該冷卻媒介可為冷卻氣體或冷卻液體。 When the power of the arc power source is increased, the temperature of the arc chamber is increased. Therefore, the present invention uses a heat dissipating device 20 having a high heat dissipation, and the heat dissipating device 20 includes a heat dissipating body 21 and at least one cooling medium tube 22. The bottom surface 212 of the heat dissipation body 21 is disposed on the top surface 301 of the base 30, and the top surface 211 is flush with the bottom surface of the arc chamber housing 11 in a full plane, as shown in FIG. 4, the embodiment of the present embodiment The two opposite short sides 214 of the heat dissipating body 21 are respectively tapered downwardly and inwardly from the top surface 211, and the bottom surface 212 of the heat dissipating body 21 is smaller than the top surface 211; and as shown in FIG. 5, it is another heat dissipating device 20'. In an embodiment, the lower portion of the two opposite short sides 214 of the heat dissipation body 21 is recessed downwardly into a space 216, and the bottom surface 212 of the heat dissipation body 21 is smaller than the top surface 211; compared to the implementation of the heat sink 30 shown in FIG. For example, it can be fast The heat that conducts the arc chamber 10 to the top surface 211 of the heat dissipation body 21 is concentrated more quickly to the middle of the heat dissipation body 21. In addition, in order not to interfere with the air intake pipe 40, as shown in FIG. 3, the heat dissipating body 21 is concavely disposed with a recess 215 corresponding to a side surface 213 of the intake pipe 40, and the recess 215 is penetrated. The top surface 211 and the bottom surface 212 of the heat dissipation body 21 have a distance between the outer tube wall of the air inlet tube 40 and the inner wall surface of the recess 215, so that the air inlet tube 40 does not contact the heat dissipation body 21. Each of the cooling medium tubes 22 passes through the heat dissipation body 21, and passes through the two tubes 221 and 222 from the bottom surface of the heat dissipation body 21, and is inserted into the base 30 from the top surface 301 of the base 30, and is externally connected. A cooling medium (not shown). Furthermore, one of the tubes 221 serves as a cooling medium inlet tube; the other tube 222 serves as a discharge tube for the cooling medium, so that the cooling medium can flow in the cooling medium tube 22. Preferably, the cooling medium can be a cooling gas or a cooling liquid.

綜上所述,本發明散熱裝置20、20’係主要全平面貼平於該電弧室10底面,除提供更穩固的支撐外,藉由更大接觸面積提供該電弧室高熱傳導效率,再配合冷卻媒管22內的流程冷卻媒介,快速將散熱本體21的熱帶離,使整體散熱效率更佳;再者,由於該散熱裝置20、20’係主要全平面貼平於該電弧室10的底面,縱使外殼在高溫運作下不易受熱變形,亦能進一步避免因使用某些易熱裂解的摻雜氣體堵塞該電弧室的底進氣孔。 In summary, the heat dissipating device 20, 20' of the present invention is mainly flattened on the bottom surface of the arc chamber 10, and in addition to providing a more stable support, the arc chamber is provided with a high thermal conduction efficiency by a larger contact area, and then cooperates.
