Description

一種磊晶設備、設備製作方法及磊晶方法 Epitaxial equipment, equipment manufacturing method and epitaxial method

本發明屬於半導體製造領域,涉及一種磊晶設備、設備製作方法及磊晶方法。 The invention belongs to the field of semiconductor manufacturing, and relates to an epitaxial device, a device manufacturing method and an epitaxial method.

功率積體電路製造商逐漸轉向採用基於12英寸晶圓的製造製程。表面具有厚磊晶層的晶圓被用來製造功率元件。但是,厚矽磊晶層(>30μm)的生長存在很大的挑戰,特別是當晶圓的直徑為12英寸時。在8英寸晶圓上生長厚矽磊晶層通常採用分批次處理反應器(batch type reactor)。 Power integrated circuit manufacturers are gradually turning to 12-inch wafer-based manufacturing processes. Wafers with thick epitaxial layers are used to make power devices. However, the presence of thick silicon epitaxial layer growth (> 30 μ m) is a big challenge, especially when the wafer diameter is 12 inches. Growing a thick silicon epitaxial layer on an 8-inch wafer typically uses a batch type reactor.

請參閱第1圖,顯示為分批次處理反應器的示意圖,其可以同時處理多片晶圓。但這種反應器不適合12英寸的晶圓。因為裝載有很多12英寸晶圓的反應器具有很大的尺寸,將會顯著降低磊晶層厚度的均勻性。 Please refer to FIG. 1, which shows a schematic diagram of a batch processing reactor, which can process multiple wafers at the same time. But this reactor is not suitable for 12-inch wafers. Because the reactor with many 12-inch wafers has a large size, it will significantly reduce the uniformity of the epitaxial layer thickness.

因此,只有單晶片反應器(single wafer reactor)適合12英寸磊晶層的生長。但是,採用單晶片反應器生長12英寸磊晶層時,石英腔室會遭受嚴重的多晶矽覆蓋,從而導致額外的顆粒問題。為了實現12英寸厚磊晶層的生長,並避免石英腔室的多晶矽覆蓋,磊晶製程需要使用多層薄 層來構成厚磊晶層。在每個薄層生長後,需要將晶圓取出反應器,並採用HCl清洗反應器,以去除石英腔室壁覆蓋的多晶矽。 Therefore, only single wafer reactors are suitable for the growth of 12-inch epitaxial layers. However, when a 12-inch epitaxial layer is grown using a single-wafer reactor, the quartz chamber is severely covered with polycrystalline silicon, causing additional particle problems. In order to achieve the growth of a 12-inch thick epitaxial layer and avoid polycrystalline silicon coverage in the quartz chamber, the epitaxial process requires the use of multiple layers Layer to form a thick epitaxial layer. After each thin layer is grown, the wafer needs to be taken out of the reactor and the reactor is cleaned with HCl to remove the polycrystalline silicon covered by the quartz chamber wall.

請參閱第2圖,顯示為現有技術中採用的單晶片反應器的結構圖。反應氣體與載氣氫氣均通過一個進氣口101通入石英腔室102,廢氣通過出氣口103排出。基板104通過支撐平臺105放置于石英腔室102內。石英腔室102外還包圍有保護罩106,所述保護罩106與所述石英腔室102之間設有鹵素燈107,所述保護罩106內表面設有Au反射層108。現有技術中,為了降低石英腔室壁的多晶矽覆蓋,還會採用冷卻空氣流109來冷卻石英腔室102,以降低石英腔室102的溫度。但是,這種方法所起的作用仍然有限。 Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a structural diagram of a single wafer reactor used in the prior art. Both the reaction gas and the carrier gas hydrogen enter the quartz chamber 102 through an air inlet 101, and the exhaust gas is discharged through the air outlet 103. The substrate 104 is placed in the quartz chamber 102 through the support platform 105. A protective cover 106 is also enclosed outside the quartz chamber 102. A halogen lamp 107 is provided between the protective cover 106 and the quartz chamber 102. An Au reflective layer 108 is provided on the inner surface of the protective cover 106. In the prior art, in order to reduce the polycrystalline silicon coverage of the quartz chamber wall, a cooling air flow 109 is also used to cool the quartz chamber 102 to reduce the temperature of the quartz chamber 102. However, the effect of this method is still limited.

因此,如何提供一種磊晶設備、設備製作方法及磊晶方法,以有效降低12英寸厚磊晶層生長中石英腔室壁的多晶矽覆蓋,成為本領域技術人員亟待解決的一個重要技術問題。 Therefore, how to provide an epitaxial device, a device manufacturing method, and an epitaxial method to effectively reduce the polycrystalline silicon coverage of the quartz chamber wall during the growth of a 12-inch thick epitaxial layer has become an important technical problem for those skilled in the art.

如上所述,本發明的磊晶設備、設備製作方法及磊晶方法,具有以下有益效果:本發明採用奈米壓印技術在石英腔室內上表面與內下表面上形成若干奈米級凸台,當氣體流過石英腔室內上表面與內下表面時,氣體可以在這些奈米級凸台之間的空隙中形成奈米級別的渦流,從而顯著降低石英腔室表面的氣體流速。本發明通過設置兩條氫氣進氣口,可以形成兩股氫氣氣流,且這兩股氫氣氣流分別靠近石英腔室的內上表面與內下表面。由於所述奈米級凸台的存在,這兩股氫氣氣流的流速將比反應氣體氣流的流速小得多。根據伯努利效應,當反應氣體輸送至石英腔室表 面時,它們將會被推回到反應氣體主氣流中,從而減少反應氣體與石英腔室的接觸,有效抑制石英腔室腔壁的多晶矽覆蓋。本發明的磊晶方法可以得到大面積、高品質的厚矽磊晶層。 As described above, the epitaxial device, the device manufacturing method and the epitaxial method of the present invention have the following beneficial effects: The present invention uses nano-imprint technology to form several nano-level bosses on the upper surface and the inner lower surface of the quartz chamber. When the gas flows through the upper surface and the inner lower surface of the quartz chamber, the gas can form a nano-level vortex in the gap between these nano-level bosses, thereby significantly reducing the gas flow rate on the surface of the quartz chamber. The present invention can form two hydrogen gas streams by setting two hydrogen gas inlets, and the two hydrogen gas streams are respectively close to the inner upper surface and the inner lower surface of the quartz chamber. Due to the existence of the nano-level boss, the flow rate of the two hydrogen gas streams will be much smaller than the flow rate of the reaction gas stream. According to the Bernoulli effect, when the reactive gas is delivered to the surface of the quartz chamber When they are exposed, they will be pushed back into the main gas flow of the reaction gas, thereby reducing the contact between the reaction gas and the quartz chamber, and effectively inhibiting the polycrystalline silicon covering of the wall of the quartz chamber. The epitaxial method of the present invention can obtain a large-area, high-quality thick silicon epitaxial layer.

After the boss 207 is provided, when the hydrogen flows through the inner wall of the quartz chamber, a nano-level vortex 216 is formed in the gap between the bosses, thereby significantly reducing the hydrogen gas flow rate on the surface of the quartz chamber. Effect, when the reaction gas 214 is delivered to the surface of the quartz chamber 201, they will be pushed back into the main gas flow 212 of the reaction gas, thereby reducing the contact between the reaction gas 214 and the quartz chamber 201, and effectively suppressing the quartz chamber 201 The walls are covered with polycrystalline silicon.

請參閱第10圖,執行步驟S2:在所述第一表面或第二表面上形成聚合物覆蓋層221。圖10以所述第一元件217為例進行說明。 Referring to FIG. 10, step S2 is performed: forming a polymer cover layer 221 on the first surface or the second surface. FIG. 10 illustrates the first element 217 as an example.

作為示例,採用噴塗法形成所述聚合物覆蓋層221,所述聚合物覆蓋層221的厚度範圍是200-1000nm。在其它實施例中,也可採用其它塗佈方法,只要使得到的聚合物覆蓋層221較為均勻即可。 As an example, the polymer cover layer 221 is formed by a spraying method, and the thickness of the polymer cover layer 221 is 200-1000 nm. In other embodiments, other coating methods may also be adopted, as long as the polymer covering layer 221 obtained is relatively uniform.

作為示例,所述聚合物覆蓋層221採用SU-8光阻、Zep520正性電子抗蝕劑或聚甲基丙烯酸甲酯(PMMA)材質。 As an example, the polymer cover layer 221 is made of SU-8 photoresist, Zep520 positive electron resist, or polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA).

請參閱第11圖至第13圖,執行步驟S3:提供一奈米壓印範本222,採用奈米壓印製程在所述聚合物覆蓋層221中形成若干凹槽223。 Referring to FIGS. 11 to 13, step S3 is performed: a nano-imprint template 222 is provided, and a plurality of grooves 223 are formed in the polymer cover layer 221 by a nano-imprint process.

奈米壓印製程是指將一具有奈米圖案的範本以機械力在塗有高分子材料的矽基板上等比例壓印複製奈米圖案,其加工分辨力只與範本圖案的尺寸有關,而不受光學微影的最短曝光波長的物理限制,目前NIL技術已經可以製作線寬在5nm以下的圖案。由於省去了光學微影掩範本和使用光學成像設備的成本。因此NIL技術具有低成本、高產出的經濟優勢。目前奈米壓印大概可以歸納出四種代表技術:熱壓印微影技術、紫外硬化壓 印微影技術、軟壓印、鐳射輔助直接微影技術。 The nano-imprinting process refers to embossing a nano pattern with a nano pattern on a silicon substrate coated with a polymer material in a proportional proportion by mechanical force. The processing resolution is only related to the size of the pattern. Not limited by the physical limitation of the shortest exposure wavelength of optical lithography, the current NIL technology can already produce patterns with line widths below 5nm. Because the lithography mask template and the cost of using optical imaging equipment are eliminated. Therefore, NIL technology has the economic advantages of low cost and high output. At present, nano-embossing can be summarized into four representative technologies: hot embossing lithography technology, UV curing embossing Lithography technology, soft embossing, laser assisted direct lithography technology.

本實施例中,優選採用紫外硬化壓印微影技術。紫外硬化壓印微影技術是一種在室溫、低壓環境下利用紫外光硬化高分子的壓印微影技術,其前處理與熱壓印類似,首先都必須準備一個具有奈米圖案的範本,而紫外硬化壓印微影技術的範本材料必須使用可以讓紫外線穿透的材料,並且在矽基板塗布一層低黏度、對UV感光的液態高分子光阻,在範本和基板對準完成後,將範本壓入光阻層並且照射紫外光使光阻發生聚合反應硬化成形,然後脫模、進行蝕刻基板上殘留的光阻便完成整個紫外硬化壓印。紫外壓印相對于熱壓印來說,不需要高溫、高壓的條件,它可以廉價的在奈米尺度得到高解析度的圖形,可用于發展奈米元件。 In this embodiment, it is preferable to use the ultraviolet curing embossing lithography technique. UV curing embossing lithography is an embossing lithography technology that uses ultraviolet light to harden polymers at room temperature and low pressure. The pre-treatment is similar to thermal embossing. First, a template with a nano pattern must be prepared. The template material for UV-curing embossing lithography must use a material that can penetrate ultraviolet rays, and apply a layer of low-viscosity, UV-sensitive liquid polymer photoresist on the silicon substrate. After the template and substrate are aligned, The template is pressed into the photoresist layer and irradiated with ultraviolet light to cause the photoresist to polymerize and harden to form. Then, the mold is removed and the remaining photoresist on the substrate is etched to complete the entire UV curing imprint. Compared with hot embossing, UV embossing does not require high temperature and high pressure conditions. It can obtain high-resolution graphics at the nanometer scale at low cost and can be used to develop nanometer components.

作為示例,採用感應耦合電漿蝕刻法蝕刻得到所述凸台207。 As an example, the bump 207 is obtained by etching using an inductively coupled plasma etching method.

作為示例,所述凸台的高度範圍是50-200nm,長度或寬度範圍是50-800nm,相鄰兩個凸台之間的距離為50-800nm。可通過設置所述奈米壓印範本的圖形來控制得到的凸台的長度及寬度、通過調整蝕刻時間等製程參數來控制得到的凸台的高度。 As an example, the height of the boss is 50-200 nm, the length or width is 50-800 nm, and the distance between two adjacent bosses is 50-800 nm. The length and width of the obtained boss can be controlled by setting the graphic of the nano-imprint template, and the height of the obtained boss can be controlled by adjusting process parameters such as etching time.
