本發明的實施例提供用於處理基板的改良式設備。在至少某些實施例中,該設備可提供橫越基板的改良式溫度均勻性。例如,與本發明一致的實施例可用於雙功能腔室中,在雙功能腔室中,基板上的材料的正常沉積之後是該相同基板的加熱。通常,在材料沉積於基板的第一表面上之後,基板的第一表面是高度反射性的,且因此,藉由高強度光源照射於基板的反射性第一表面上來加熱基板會是沒有效率的。但是,基板的第二表面(相對於第一表面,例如底表面)可更能吸收光能且可提供較佳的熱耦合。另外,因為空間限制,熱源必須定位成使得基座的移動不會被阻礙。因此,熱源必須位於基板支座基座的周邊之外。在與本發明一致的實施例中,提供了反射性表面與保護性屏蔽部的組合,反射性表面與保護性屏蔽部的組合將熱能從周邊的熱源反射朝向基板。 Embodiments of the present invention provide an improved apparatus for processing a substrate. In at least some embodiments, the device can provide improved temperature uniformity across the substrate. For example, embodiments consistent with the present invention can be used in a dual function chamber in which the normal deposition of material on the substrate is followed by heating of the same substrate. Generally, after the material is deposited on the first surface of the substrate, the first surface of the substrate is highly reflective, and therefore, heating the substrate by irradiating the reflective first surface of the substrate with a high intensity light source may be inefficient. . However, the second surface of the substrate (relative to the first surface, such as the bottom surface) may be more absorbing light energy and may provide better thermal coupling. In addition, because of space constraints, the heat source must be positioned such that movement of the pedestal is not obstructed. Therefore, the heat source must be located outside the perimeter of the base of the substrate support. In an embodiment consistent with the present invention, a combination of a reflective surface and a protective shield is provided, the combination of the reflective surface and the protective shield reflecting thermal energy from the surrounding heat source toward the substrate.

根據本發明的某些實施例,第1圖繪示了腔室100的示意橫剖面視圖。腔室100是配置來用於將材料沉積於基 板的第一側上並且照射在基板的第二側上,基板的第二側相對於基板的第一側。此種腔室100是雙功能腔室,可以在基板上執行材料處理與熱處理兩者,而不用從腔室移除基板。在金屬沉積處理的實例中,熱處理可為重流處理,例如,用以減少基板的凹部中的金屬的突出。 1 is a schematic cross-sectional view of a chamber 100, in accordance with some embodiments of the present invention. The chamber 100 is configured to deposit material onto the substrate On a first side of the plate and on a second side of the substrate, the second side of the substrate is opposite the first side of the substrate. Such a chamber 100 is a dual function chamber that can perform both material processing and heat treatment on the substrate without removing the substrate from the chamber. In the example of the metal deposition process, the heat treatment may be a reflow process, for example, to reduce protrusion of metal in the recess of the substrate.

腔室100具有壁部104與蓋部102,壁部104與蓋部102圍繞腔室100的內部容積138。基板支座106將內部容積138分成上容積136與下容積134。通過形成於蓋部102中的入口108而允許製程氣體進入腔室的上容積136,且設置於基板支座106的基板接收表面116上的基板168在腔室100的處理位置160處曝露至製程氣體。 The chamber 100 has a wall portion 104 and a lid portion 102 that surrounds the interior volume 138 of the chamber 100. The substrate support 106 divides the interior volume 138 into an upper volume 136 and a lower volume 134. The process gas is allowed to enter the upper volume 136 of the chamber through the inlet 108 formed in the cover portion 102, and the substrate 168 disposed on the substrate receiving surface 116 of the substrate support 106 is exposed to the process at the processing location 160 of the chamber 100. gas.

在操作時,基板支座106垂直地移動於腔室100內,在處理的不同階段中伸展且縮回至各種位置。例如,基板支座106可垂直地受到致動而將設置於基板支座106的基板接收表面116上的基板168移動於腔室的處理位置160與輸送位置124之間。輸送位置124界定了基板操縱設備(未示)可通過入口122來操縱基板168之基板168的位置。 In operation, the substrate support 106 moves vertically within the chamber 100, stretching and retracting to various positions during different stages of processing. For example, the substrate support 106 can be vertically actuated to move the substrate 168 disposed on the substrate receiving surface 116 of the substrate support 106 between the processing location 160 of the chamber and the delivery location 124. The delivery location 124 defines a substrate handling device (not shown) that can manipulate the position of the substrate 168 of the substrate 168 through the inlet 122.

複數升舉銷114設置通過於基板支座106的基板接收表面116。複數升舉銷114可由致動器162伸展,藉由耦接於致動器162的馬達(未示)而與基板支座106無關地移動。例如,在某些實施例中,複數升舉銷114可受到致動而將基板168升舉且維持在處理位置160附近,同時基板支座106縮回在輻射源平面126之下。在某些實施例中,藉由致動該等升舉銷,基板168可定位在不同於處理位置160的熱處理 位置128處,該處理位置160可能是材料處理位置。 The plurality of lift pins 114 are disposed through the substrate receiving surface 116 of the substrate support 106. The plurality of lift pins 114 can be extended by the actuator 162 and moved independently of the substrate support 106 by a motor (not shown) coupled to the actuator 162. For example, in some embodiments, the plurality of lift pins 114 can be actuated to lift and maintain the substrate 168 near the processing location 160 while the substrate support 106 is retracted below the radiation source plane 126. In some embodiments, the substrate 168 can be positioned at a different heat treatment than the processing location 160 by actuating the lift pins At location 128, the processing location 160 may be a material processing location.

基板接收表面116可包含靜電夾盤,靜電夾盤通常包括導體158設置於絕緣的基板接收表面116中。導體158可為板材、導線網格、或者迂迴地繞線通過基板接收表面116的單一路徑導線。電力通常透過設置通過於基板支座之軸部132的導管156而耦接至導體158。當基板接收表面116接合於基板168時,靜電夾盤可受到能量啟用,以將基板168固定於基板支座106上。在此時,冷卻氣體也可通過導管156而建立。 The substrate receiving surface 116 can include an electrostatic chuck that typically includes a conductor 158 disposed in the insulated substrate receiving surface 116. Conductor 158 can be a sheet metal, a wire grid, or a single path wire that is bypassed through substrate receiving surface 116. Power is typically coupled to conductor 158 by a conduit 156 that is disposed through shaft portion 132 of the substrate support. When the substrate receiving surface 116 is bonded to the substrate 168, the electrostatic chuck can be energized to secure the substrate 168 to the substrate support 106. At this point, cooling gas can also be established through conduit 156.

基板支座106(其中基板定位於其上)將基板168移動朝向處理位置128與160。當基板支座106上升朝向處理位置160時,基板支座106(其中沉積環118放置於突部150上)經過輻射源裝置112。當基板接收表面116到達處理位置160時,基板168可受到材料處理,例如沉積、佈植、或蝕刻。如同下述,沉積環118可配置來接合於蓋環166,蓋環166可為金屬或陶瓷,且蓋環166從沉積環118向外朝向蓋部102延伸。藉由控制從上容積136通過蓋環166進入下容積134的氣流,接合的蓋環166可以改良沉積環118的功能。當基板支座106移動朝向處理位置160與128時,沉積環118接合於蓋環166。當基板支座106從處理位置160移動朝向處理位置128時,蓋環166與沉積環118和基板支座106一起移動。 The substrate support 106 (with the substrate positioned thereon) moves the substrate 168 toward the processing locations 128 and 160. When the substrate holder 106 is raised toward the processing position 160, the substrate holder 106 (where the deposition ring 118 is placed over the protrusion 150) passes through the radiation source device 112. When the substrate receiving surface 116 reaches the processing location 160, the substrate 168 can be subjected to material processing, such as deposition, implantation, or etching. As described below, the deposition ring 118 can be configured to engage the cover ring 166, which can be metal or ceramic, and the cover ring 166 extends outwardly from the deposition ring 118 toward the cover portion 102. The engaged cover ring 166 can improve the function of the deposition ring 118 by controlling the flow of air from the upper volume 136 through the cover ring 166 into the lower volume 134. The deposition ring 118 engages the cover ring 166 as the substrate support 106 moves toward the processing locations 160 and 128. As the substrate support 106 moves from the processing position 160 toward the processing position 128, the cover ring 166 moves with the deposition ring 118 and the substrate support 106.

輻射源裝置112設置於腔室100的周邊142處,且輻射源裝置112界定了輻射源平面126,輻射源平面126是在 處理位置160與輸送位置124之間。輻射源裝置112通常圍繞基板支座106。輻射源裝置112包括殼體188、輻射能量源182、從殼體188突伸並且支撐輻射能量源182的至少一支座184、以及殼體188的反射表面186。殼體188通常是由導熱材料製成,像是金屬,例如不鏽鋼。支座184可為導熱材料,像是金屬,例如不鏽鋼,或者折射材料,像是陶瓷。輻射能量源182可為燈,該燈產生波長從紅外線到紫光的輻射,或者輻射能量源182可為微波、毫米波、兆赫波、次毫米波、或遠紅外線源。輻射能量源182可產生的輻射是具有波長從大約5x10-2m至大約1x10-7m。範例輻射能量源包括加熱燈、鹵素燈、弧光燈、與同軸微波或毫米波源。 The radiation source device 112 is disposed at a perimeter 142 of the chamber 100, and the radiation source device 112 defines a radiation source plane 126 that is between the processing location 160 and the delivery location 124. The radiation source device 112 generally surrounds the substrate support 106. The radiation source device 112 includes a housing 188, a source of radiant energy 182, at least one seat 184 that protrudes from the housing 188 and supports a source of radiant energy 182, and a reflective surface 186 of the housing 188. Housing 188 is typically made of a thermally conductive material such as a metal such as stainless steel. The support 184 can be a thermally conductive material such as a metal such as stainless steel or a refractive material such as ceramic. The radiant energy source 182 can be a lamp that produces radiation having a wavelength from infrared to violet, or the radiant energy source 182 can be a microwave, millimeter wave, megahertz, submillimeter wave, or far infrared source. The radiant energy source 182 can produce radiation having a wavelength of from about 5 x 10 -2 m to about 1 x 10 -7 m. Exemplary sources of radiant energy include heat lamps, halogen lamps, arc lamps, and coaxial microwave or millimeter wave sources.

殼體188的反射表面186經過塑形,以將來自輻射能量源182的輻射反射朝向位於處理位置128或160處的基板168的背側172(例如,作為反射體)。在某些實施例中,殼體188的反射表面186經過塑形,以允許基板的實質上均勻照射。殼體188的反射表面186可具有任何所欲形狀,例如圓柱形、超環面、橢圓形、卵形、或不規則的彎曲形狀。除了是彎曲的之外或者取代彎曲的,殼體188的反射表面186可為小的平面。在某些實施例中,殼體188的反射表面186可為多個圓柱體的結合部分,該等圓柱體具有相同或不同的曲率半徑,每一圓柱體也可為末端漸細的或者部分為小的平面。在某些實施例中,殼體188的反射表面186是半超環面的。在某些實施例中,殼體188的反射表面186包括複數反射件,每一反射件可彼此無關地是實質上平坦的、彎曲的、 末端漸細的、或小的平面,該等反射件是定位成接近是彎曲的表面。支座184通常為非連續的,例如支撐銷、桿、或突塊,使得來自輻射能量源182的輻射到達殼體188的實質上整個反射表面186並且反射朝向基板168的背側172。 The reflective surface 186 of the housing 188 is shaped to reflect radiation from the radiant energy source 182 toward the back side 172 of the substrate 168 at the processing location 128 or 160 (eg, as a reflector). In some embodiments, the reflective surface 186 of the housing 188 is shaped to allow for substantially uniform illumination of the substrate. The reflective surface 186 of the housing 188 can have any desired shape, such as a cylindrical shape, a toroidal surface, an elliptical shape, an oval shape, or an irregular curved shape. In addition to or instead of being curved, the reflective surface 186 of the housing 188 can be a small plane. In some embodiments, the reflective surface 186 of the housing 188 can be a combined portion of a plurality of cylinders having the same or different radii of curvature, each of the cylinders being tapered or partially Small plane. In some embodiments, the reflective surface 186 of the housing 188 is semi-pericyclic. In some embodiments, the reflective surface 186 of the housing 188 includes a plurality of reflective members, each of which can be substantially flat, curved, independently of one another. A tapered or small plane at the end, the reflectors being positioned to approximate a curved surface. The support 184 is generally non-continuous, such as a support pin, rod, or tab, such that radiation from the radiant energy source 182 reaches substantially the entire reflective surface 186 of the housing 188 and is reflected toward the back side 172 of the substrate 168.

沉積環118設置於基板接收表面116的邊緣148周圍。沉積環118可為金屬或金屬塗覆的陶瓷,例如不鏽鋼、氧化鋁、或類似者。通常,沉積環118是由可耐高溫處理的材料所形成。另外,如同下述,沉積環118的第一表面176是反射性的。 A deposition ring 118 is disposed around the edge 148 of the substrate receiving surface 116. The deposition ring 118 can be a metal or metal coated ceramic such as stainless steel, alumina, or the like. Typically, the deposition ring 118 is formed from a material that is resistant to high temperatures. Additionally, as described below, the first surface 176 of the deposition ring 118 is reflective.

沉積環118實質上覆蓋了基板支座106的外部區域146,以防止外部區域146上的沉積。沉積環包括環狀主體,環狀主體具有第一表面176與相對第二表面178。第二表面178例如放置於基板接收表面116的外部區域146中所形成的突部150上。在某些實施例中,沉積環具有的直徑是大約12吋至大約15吋。沉積環也包括開口180,開口180設置通過於沉積環118的中央。設置通過於沉積環118之中央的開口180的尺寸經過設計,以曝露基板接收表面116的主要部分。在某些實施例中,設置於基板接收表面116上的基板168接觸於沉積環118。在替代的實施例中,基板168可具有外部半徑是小於沉積環118的內部半徑,使得基板168不接觸於沉積環118。 The deposition ring 118 substantially covers the outer region 146 of the substrate support 106 to prevent deposition on the outer region 146. The deposition ring includes an annular body having a first surface 176 and an opposite second surface 178. The second surface 178 is placed, for example, on the protrusion 150 formed in the outer region 146 of the substrate receiving surface 116. In certain embodiments, the deposition ring has a diameter of from about 12 吋 to about 15 吋. The deposition ring also includes an opening 180 that is disposed through the center of the deposition ring 118. The opening 180 disposed through the center of the deposition ring 118 is sized to expose a major portion of the substrate receiving surface 116. In some embodiments, the substrate 168 disposed on the substrate receiving surface 116 is in contact with the deposition ring 118. In an alternate embodiment, the substrate 168 can have an outer radius that is less than the inner radius of the deposition ring 118 such that the substrate 168 does not contact the deposition ring 118.

在處理位置160處的處理完成之後,基板支座106可受到定位,以進行基板168的背側熱處理。藉由中斷給導體158的電力(或者在真空夾盤的實施例中,是中斷給基板 接收表面的真空),可釋放基板168的任何夾力,然後基板支座106縮回,且將升舉銷114致動至伸展位置中。這使基板168從基板接收表面116脫離,並且當基板支座106縮回至輻射源平面126之下的熱處理位置時,使基板168維持在處理位置160處。基板背側藉此而曝露至來自輻射源裝置112的輻射。如果需要的話,藉由致動該等升舉銷,可將基板168移動至不同於處理位置160的熱處理位置128。在此種實施例中,處理位置160可為材料處理位置。根據特定實施例的能量曝露需求,如同所需的,熱處理位置可位於材料處理位置之上或之下。基板168在第1圖中是圖示在熱處理位置中。 After the processing at processing location 160 is complete, substrate holder 106 can be positioned to perform a backside heat treatment of substrate 168. By interrupting the power to the conductor 158 (or in the embodiment of the vacuum chuck, it is interrupted to the substrate) Receiving the vacuum of the surface), any clamping force of the substrate 168 can be released, then the substrate support 106 is retracted and the lift pins 114 are actuated into the extended position. This disengages the substrate 168 from the substrate receiving surface 116 and maintains the substrate 168 at the processing location 160 when the substrate holder 106 is retracted to a heat treated position below the radiation source plane 126. The back side of the substrate is thereby exposed to radiation from the radiation source device 112. Substrate 168 can be moved to a heat treatment location 128 that is different from processing location 160 by actuating the lift pins, if desired. In such an embodiment, the processing location 160 can be a material processing location. According to the energy exposure requirements of certain embodiments, as desired, the heat treatment location can be above or below the material processing location. The substrate 168 is illustrated in the first embodiment in the heat treatment position.

在熱處理期間,輻射源裝置112被供電啟動,且能量從輻射源裝置112發射朝向基板168的背側。基板168的背側172是與上面有執行材料處理的表面170相對的基板表面。除了提供整合的材料與熱處理室之外,藉由照射基板168的較不反射表面,用這個方式來照射基板168的背側172可以改良熱處理的能量效率。在某些實施例中,基板168上所執行的材料處理會在表面170上形成反射層或部分層,反射層或部分層會減少能量吸收。照射背側172則可以避免增加的反射性。另外,表面170的反射性可以反射來自輻射源裝置112的輻射,來自輻射源裝置112的輻射行進通過基板168又返回通過基板168,以進一步改良效率。 During the heat treatment, the radiation source device 112 is powered up and energy is emitted from the radiation source device 112 toward the back side of the substrate 168. The back side 172 of the substrate 168 is the substrate surface opposite the surface 170 on which the material processing is performed. In addition to providing an integrated material and heat treatment chamber, illuminating the back side 172 of the substrate 168 in this manner can improve the energy efficiency of the heat treatment by illuminating the less reflective surface of the substrate 168. In some embodiments, material processing performed on substrate 168 can form a reflective layer or partial layer on surface 170 that reduces energy absorption. Irradiation of the back side 172 avoids increased reflectivity. Additionally, the reflectivity of surface 170 can reflect radiation from radiation source device 112, and radiation from radiation source device 112 travels through substrate 168 and back through substrate 168 to further improve efficiency.

如同上述,沉積環118包括第一表面176,第一表面176是配置來增加從輻射能量源182反射朝向位於處理位置160處的基板的輻射量(例如,第一表面的至少多個部分 是配置來將輻射徑向向內反射朝向處理室的中心軸174)。在某些實施例中,沉積環118可配置作為輻射源裝置112的反射表面186的延伸。 As described above, the deposition ring 118 includes a first surface 176 that is configured to increase the amount of radiation that is reflected from the radiant energy source 182 toward the substrate at the processing location 160 (eg, at least portions of the first surface) Is configured to reflect radiation radially inward toward the central axis 174 of the processing chamber). In certain embodiments, the deposition ring 118 can be configured as an extension of the reflective surface 186 of the radiation source device 112.

在某些實施例中,第一表面176具有紋理,以增進第一表面176上所沉積的材料的黏著,藉此減少在基板處理期間在沉積環118的第一表面176上所增長的所沉積材料的任何剝落。在某些實施例中,第一表面176具有粗糙度是大約80至大約100微吋RMS。 In some embodiments, the first surface 176 is textured to enhance adhesion of material deposited on the first surface 176, thereby reducing deposition that is grown on the first surface 176 of the deposition ring 118 during substrate processing. Any peeling of the material. In certain embodiments, the first surface 176 has a roughness of from about 80 to about 100 micro 吋 RMS.

根據本發明的某些實施例,第2圖圖示了範例沉積環118的橫剖面側視圖。第2A圖繪示了第2圖的沉積環118的詳細橫剖面側視圖。第3A-C圖繪示了沉積環的第一表面176的各種非限制性範例實施例。 2 illustrates a cross-sectional side view of an exemplary deposition ring 118, in accordance with some embodiments of the present invention. 2A is a detailed cross-sectional side view of the deposition ring 118 of FIG. 2. 3A-C illustrate various non-limiting, exemplary embodiments of the first surface 176 of the deposition ring.

在某些實施例中,如同第2-2A與3A-C圖所繪示的,沉積環118的第一表面176包括至少一反射部204,至少一反射部204是配置來將光能反射朝向沉積環的中心軸(例如,沉積環也是反射體)。例如,如同第2A與3A-B圖所繪示的,沉積環118的第一表面176可包括一個反射部204。沉積環118的第一表面176也可包括超過一個反射部204,如同第3C圖所繪示的。雖然沉積環118的整個第一表面176可為反射性的,當在本文相關於沉積環使用時,用語「反射表面」或「表面的反射部」是用以描述配置來將光能反射朝向沉積環之中心軸的該表面。 In some embodiments, as depicted in Figures 2-2A and 3A-C, the first surface 176 of the deposition ring 118 includes at least one reflective portion 204 that is configured to reflect light energy toward The central axis of the deposition ring (eg, the deposition ring is also a reflector). For example, as depicted in Figures 2A and 3A-B, the first surface 176 of the deposition ring 118 can include a reflective portion 204. The first surface 176 of the deposition ring 118 can also include more than one reflective portion 204, as depicted in Figure 3C. Although the entire first surface 176 of the deposition ring 118 can be reflective, the term "reflecting surface" or "reflecting surface" is used to describe the configuration to reflect light energy toward deposition when used herein in connection with a deposition ring. The surface of the central axis of the ring.

在某些實施例中,反射部204包括第一表面176的主要部分。在某些實施例中,反射部204是第一表面176的 大約百分之5至大約百分之50。反射部204是配置來將熱能反射朝向環狀主體的中心軸174。在某些實施例中,反射部相對於環狀主體的中心軸的夾角是大約0度至大約30度的角度,或者高達大約30度。包括至少一反射部204並且配置來將熱能反射朝向環狀主體之中心軸174的第一表面176有利地增加了導引朝向基板的背側172的輻射量,藉此改良(例如,減少)基板的溫度不均勻性。另外,發明人已經發現到,至少一反射部204可有利地沿著第一表面176的一部分併入於沉積環中(例如,具有表面積是第一表面176的總表面積的大約百分之5至大約百分之50),以有利地改良(例如,減少)基板的溫度不均勻性,同時維持沉積環的功能。導引朝向基板背側172的輻射量的增加可有利地在重流腔室的空間限制內執行。 In some embodiments, the reflective portion 204 includes a major portion of the first surface 176. In some embodiments, the reflective portion 204 is the first surface 176 About 5 to about 50 percent. The reflecting portion 204 is disposed to reflect thermal energy toward the central axis 174 of the annular body. In some embodiments, the angle of the reflective portion relative to the central axis of the annular body is an angle of from about 0 degrees to about 30 degrees, or up to about 30 degrees. The first surface 176 including at least one reflective portion 204 and configured to reflect thermal energy toward the central axis 174 of the annular body advantageously increases the amount of radiation directed toward the back side 172 of the substrate, thereby improving (eg, reducing) the substrate Temperature non-uniformity. Additionally, the inventors have discovered that at least one reflective portion 204 can advantageously be incorporated into the deposition ring along a portion of the first surface 176 (eg, having a surface area that is about 5 percent of the total surface area of the first surface 176 to About 50 percent) to advantageously improve (eg, reduce) temperature non-uniformity of the substrate while maintaining the function of the deposition ring. The increase in the amount of radiation directed toward the back side 172 of the substrate can advantageously be performed within the space constraints of the reflow chamber.

在某些實施例中,在將沉積環118放入腔室中之前,沉積環118的反射部204先塗覆有反射材料。在某些實施例中,沉積環118是在腔室100內塗覆反射材料。反射部204可塗覆有反射材料,例如銅、金、鋁、或類似者。 In some embodiments, the reflective portion 204 of the deposition ring 118 is first coated with a reflective material prior to placing the deposition ring 118 into the chamber. In some embodiments, the deposition ring 118 is coated with a reflective material within the chamber 100. The reflective portion 204 can be coated with a reflective material such as copper, gold, aluminum, or the like.

沉積環118的反射部204彎曲及/或成小平面的方式是相容於殼體188的反射表面186的彎曲及/或成小平面,使得殼體188的反射表面186與沉積環118的反射部204一起形成複合式反射體,該複合式反射體是配置來將來自輻射能量源182的輻射盡可能多地、盡可能均勻地導引至位於輻射能量源182之上的基板背側。 The manner in which the reflective portion 204 of the deposition ring 118 is curved and/or faceted is compatible with the curvature and/or facet of the reflective surface 186 of the housing 188 such that the reflective surface 186 of the housing 188 and the reflective ring 118 are reflected. The portions 204 together form a composite reflector that is configured to direct as much radiation as possible from the radiant energy source 182 to the back side of the substrate above the radiant energy source 182 as much as possible.

在某些實施例中,第一表面176包括傾斜表面210。 在第2A與3A-B圖中,反射部204設置於傾斜表面210的附近。傾斜表面有利地作用來促進容納所沉積材料,及/或當基板168降低至沉積環118的中央開口內時,傾斜表面有利地作用來導引基板168進入適當的位置中。在某些實施例中,傾斜表面210也可以是反射部(例如,第二反射部),類似於反射部204。 In certain embodiments, the first surface 176 includes an angled surface 210. In FIGS. 2A and 3A-B, the reflection portion 204 is provided in the vicinity of the inclined surface 210. The inclined surface advantageously acts to facilitate containment of the deposited material, and/or when the substrate 168 is lowered into the central opening of the deposition ring 118, the inclined surface advantageously acts to guide the substrate 168 into the proper position. In some embodiments, the inclined surface 210 can also be a reflective portion (eg, a second reflective portion), similar to the reflective portion 204.

在某些實施例中,如同第2A與3A-B圖所繪示的,第一表面176包括平坦部206,平坦部206設置於沉積環118的外部周邊附近,以接合於蓋環166,蓋環166可為金屬或陶瓷,且蓋環166從沉積環118向外朝向蓋部102延伸。藉由控制從上容積136通過蓋環166進入下容積134的氣流,蓋環166與平坦部206可以改良沉積環118的功能。當基板支座106朝向處理位置160與128移動時,沉積環118接合於蓋環166。當基板支座106從處理位置160朝向處理位置128移動時,蓋環166與沉積環118和基板支座106一起移動。 In some embodiments, as depicted in Figures 2A and 3A-B, the first surface 176 includes a flat portion 206 disposed adjacent the outer periphery of the deposition ring 118 to engage the cover ring 166, the cover The ring 166 can be metal or ceramic and the cover ring 166 extends outwardly from the deposition ring 118 toward the cover portion 102. By controlling the flow of air from the upper volume 136 through the cover ring 166 into the lower volume 134, the cover ring 166 and the flat portion 206 can improve the function of the deposition ring 118. The deposition ring 118 engages the cover ring 166 as the substrate support 106 moves toward the processing locations 160 and 128. As the substrate support 106 moves from the processing position 160 toward the processing position 128, the cover ring 166 moves with the deposition ring 118 and the substrate support 106.

在某些實施例中,如同第2A與3A-B圖所繪示的,第一表面176包括凹槽208。在某些實施例中,凹槽208可設置於平坦部206的徑向向內處。在基板處理期間,凹槽208有利地提供了用於所沉積材料之增長的貯存槽。在某些實施例中,傾斜表面210可設置於凹槽208的附近或旁邊。例如,在某些實施例中,傾斜表面210可形成凹槽208的一個壁部。 In certain embodiments, as depicted in Figures 2A and 3A-B, the first surface 176 includes a recess 208. In some embodiments, the groove 208 can be disposed radially inward of the flat portion 206. The grooves 208 advantageously provide a storage tank for the growth of the deposited material during substrate processing. In some embodiments, the angled surface 210 can be disposed adjacent or beside the groove 208. For example, in some embodiments, the inclined surface 210 can form one wall of the recess 208.

根據本發明的某些實施例,第4圖是範例沉積環118的頂視圖。沉積環118包括外部直徑402、內部直徑404、與中央開口406。在某些實施例中,沉積環118可包括一或多個 凸出部408,凸出部408可以有助於將沉積環118定位。 4 is a top view of an exemplary deposition ring 118, in accordance with some embodiments of the present invention. The deposition ring 118 includes an outer diameter 402, an inner diameter 404, and a central opening 406. In some embodiments, the deposition ring 118 can include one or more Protrusions 408, which may help position the deposition ring 118.

返回參照第1圖,在熱處理完成之後,藉由縮回該等升舉銷114,基板通常再次接合於基板接收表面116。可再次施加夾力,且再次建立冷卻氣體來冷卻基板。如果需要的話,基板支座106可之後移動至適當位置來進行進一步的處理,或者回到輸送位置來進行基板的取回。當基板支座106位於輸送位置處時,藉由伸展該等升舉銷114來提供基板的取用,所以機器人葉片可插置於基板與基板接收表面116之間。 Referring back to FIG. 1, after the heat treatment is completed, the substrate is typically re-bonded to the substrate receiving surface 116 by retracting the lift pins 114. The clamping force can be applied again, and the cooling gas is again established to cool the substrate. If desired, the substrate holder 106 can then be moved to the appropriate position for further processing, or returned to the delivery position for substrate retrieval. When the substrate holder 106 is at the transport position, the substrate is accessed by extending the lift pins 114 so that the robot blade can be interposed between the substrate and the substrate receiving surface 116.

針對材料(亦即,沉積或佈植)與熱處理,基板不需要定位在相同的位置處。在前述中,是建議在材料與熱處理期間處理位置160是相同的,但是不需要非得如此。例如,熱處理位置可不同於材料處理位置。基板可從材料處理位置升高或降低至熱處理位置。熱處理位置相關於材料處理位置的位置通常取決於輻射源的設計與材料處理的需求。 For materials (ie, deposition or implantation) and heat treatment, the substrates need not be positioned at the same location. In the foregoing, it is suggested that the processing position 160 is the same during the material and heat treatment, but need not necessarily be the case. For example, the heat treatment location can be different than the material processing location. The substrate can be raised or lowered from the material processing location to the heat treatment location. The location of the heat treatment location relative to the material processing location typically depends on the design of the radiation source and the needs of the material processing.

因此,本文已經揭示用於改良橫越基板之溫度均勻性的改良設備。本發明設備可有利地促成重流階段,以使沉積在特徵的側壁上的材料可以移動至特徵的底部,藉此減小結構的深寬比。 Accordingly, improved apparatus for improving temperature uniformity across a substrate has been disclosed herein. The apparatus of the present invention can advantageously facilitate a reflow stage such that material deposited on the sidewalls of the feature can be moved to the bottom of the feature, thereby reducing the aspect ratio of the structure.

雖然前述是關於本發明之實施例,本發明之其他與進一步實施例可被設想出而無偏離其基本範圍。 While the foregoing is a description of the embodiments of the present invention, further and further embodiments of the invention may be
