Description
本發明涉及半導體製造技術領域,尤其涉及一種反應腔室及半導體加工設備。The present invention relates to the technical field of semiconductor manufacturing, in particular to a reaction chamber and semiconductor processing equipment.
目前,磁控濺射物理氣相沉積方法已廣泛應用在半導體製造領域中。現有的磁控濺射物理氣相沉積設備如圖1所示,其反應腔室包括接地的腔室本體1,且在腔室本體1內設置有基座8,用以承載待加工工件10。在基座8的周圍還設置有卡環9。並且,在腔室本體1內,且位於基座8的上方還設置有靶材4,其與激勵源12電連接。激勵源12用於向靶材4施加負偏壓,以激發腔室本體1內部的處理氣體形成等離子體,並吸引等離子體中帶正電的離子轟擊靶材4,使金屬原子逸出靶材表面並沉積在待加工工件10上。在靶材4背離腔室本體1內部的一側還設置有支撑組件2,其與靶材4構成密封腔,其中充滿去離子水3。此外,在密封腔中還設置有磁控管5,且在支撑組件2上還安裝有驅動裝置6,用以驅動磁控管5旋轉,同時使磁控管5在靶材4的中心區域和邊緣區域之間作往復運動,以使磁控管5能够掃描靶材4的整個表面。腔室本體1內設置有內襯7,以防止腔壁被污染。爲了提高待加工工件深孔的薄膜覆蓋率,通過射頻電源11向基座8施加射頻功率。At present, the magnetron sputtering physical vapor deposition method has been widely used in the field of semiconductor manufacturing.

在生產過程中,由於靶材逸出的金屬原子缺乏良好的方向性,對於待加工工件的深孔尤其是其邊緣區域的深孔,只有部分方向的金屬原子可以沉積於深孔側壁,影響了深孔側壁的覆蓋率,並且部分深孔側壁更難以被金屬離子沉積,導致深孔側壁覆蓋率的對稱性較差。尤其接近深孔底部的側壁位置,由於該位置深寬比較高,導致該位置的薄膜沉積效果難以令人滿意。During the production process, due to the lack of good directionality of the metal atoms escaping from the target, for the deep holes of the workpiece to be processed, especially the deep holes in the edge area, only part of the metal atoms can be deposited on the sidewall of the deep hole, which affects The coverage of the sidewall of the deep hole, and part of the sidewall of the deep hole is more difficult to be deposited by metal ions, resulting in poor symmetry of the coverage of the sidewall of the deep hole.

爲使本發明的目的、技術方案和優點更加清楚明白,以下結合具體實施例,並參照圖式,對本發明作進一步的詳細說明。In order to make the objectives, technical solutions, and advantages of the present invention clearer, the present invention will be further described in detail below in conjunction with specific embodiments and with reference to the drawings.
本發明一實施例提供了一種反應腔室,如圖2所示,反應腔室包括:腔室本體1、基座2、靶材3和準直器4。An embodiment of the present invention provides a reaction chamber. As shown in FIG. 2, the reaction chamber includes: a
基座2設置於腔體本體1內,具體可以是設置在腔室本體1的底部,用於承載待加工工件X,並與射頻電源22電連接,射頻電源22用於向基座2施加射頻功率,以基座2上形成偏壓,從而能够提高待加工工件深孔的薄膜覆蓋率。在基座2的四周還設置有壓環21,用於固定待加工工件X在基座2上的位置。The
靶材3設置在腔體本體1內,且位於基座2的上方,具體可以是設置在腔室本體1的頂部。The
準直器4設置在腔室本體1內,且位於靶材3與基座2之間,並且準直器4所採用的材料包括諸如鋁(Al)或者不銹鋼等金屬材料。The
腔體本體1的上部可以設置有上電極組件5,上電極組件5包括:磁控管501,驅動裝置502、支撑組件503和等離子體激勵源504。An
其中,等離子體激勵源504與靶材3電連接,用於向靶材3施加負偏壓,以激發腔室本體1內部的處理氣體形成等離子體,並吸引等離子體中帶正電的離子轟擊靶材3,使金屬原子逸出靶材表面並沉積在待加工工件X上。支撑組件503設置在靶材3的背離腔室本體1的一側,且與靶材3構成適於容納去離子水505的密封腔室,去離子水505用於對靶材3進行冷却。磁控管501位於該密封腔室中,並連接密封腔室外的驅動裝置502。磁控管501在驅動裝置502的驅動下掃描靶材3,以在靶材3表面附近産生磁場。Wherein, the
在生產過程中,等離子體激勵源504施加偏壓至靶材3,使其相對於接地的腔室本體1形成負壓,從而使腔室本體1內例如氬氣的處理氣體放電而産生氬離子和電子。磁控管501所産生的磁場可以延長電子的運動軌迹,電子運動過程中不斷與氬原子發生碰撞,電離出大量的氬離子,可增加靶材的離化率。帶正電的氬離子被吸引至負偏壓的靶材3處。當氬離子的能量足够高時,撞擊靶材3,會使金屬原子逸出靶材3表面並向下運動沉積在待加工工件X上。During the production process, the
結合圖2和圖3所示,本實施例提供的準直器4設置於腔室本體1內,且位於靶材3與基座2之間。該準直器4可以使自靶材3逸出的金屬原子經過準直器4後具有良好的方向性,以能够在入射到待加工工件X上時更容易沉積至深孔底部,並且能够更均勻地沉積至深孔的兩個側壁,從而提高了深孔底部的薄膜覆蓋率以及深孔側壁的薄膜覆蓋率對稱性。同時,準直器4還能够對靶材3各區域産生的金屬原子進行不同程度的過濾,以起到降低沉積速率的作用,從而可以在更薄的薄膜沉積工藝中更加精確地控制薄膜生長。另外,準直器4還使基座2的負偏壓增加,有利於提高薄膜覆蓋率。As shown in FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the
在本實施例中,如圖3和圖4所示,準直器4包括準直主體41,在該準直主體41中,且分別與在靶材3所在平面(即,與腔室本體1內部相對的表面,與圖3中X方向和Y方向所在平面相互平行)上劃分的中心區域C、依次環繞在該中心區域C的周圍的中間區域B及邊緣區域A相對應的區域,均包括多個沿腔室本體1的軸向(圖1中示出的Z方向)延伸的通孔42,其中,對應中間區域B的各通孔42的深寬比大於對應中心區域C的各通孔42的深寬比和對應邊緣區域A的各通孔42的深寬比中的至少一者。也就是說,準直器4的對應腔室本體1徑向上的不同區域的通孔42具有不同的深寬比。所謂深寬比,是指通孔42的深度與寬度D的比值,其中,深度是指通孔41的軸向長度,而寬度D是指在通孔42的徑向截面上,相對的兩個側邊之間的距離。In this embodiment, as shown in FIGS. 3 and 4, the
可選的,準直主體41與腔室本體1同軸,即,準直主體41的軸線與腔室本體1的軸線相重合。Optionally, the collimating
在實際應用中,通孔42的徑向截面形狀不做限定,例如可以是多邊形或圓形等形狀。在圖3中,通孔42的徑向截面形狀爲正六邊形,且各通孔42在準直主體41中排布形成蜂窩狀結構。並且,對應腔室本體1的徑向截面上同一區域內的各通孔42的深寬比是相同的。In practical applications, the radial cross-sectional shape of the through
在下文中,將對應中心區域C的各通孔42的深寬比稱爲中心深寬比,將對應中間區域B的各通孔42的深寬比稱爲中間深寬比,將對應邊緣區域A的各通孔42的深寬比稱爲邊緣深寬比。Hereinafter, the aspect ratio of each through
在本實施例中,中間深寬比大於中心深寬比,且中間深寬比大於邊緣深寬比,即中間深寬比既大於中心深寬比,又大於邊緣深寬比。這樣,當靶材3産生的金屬原子經過準直器4時,對應靶材3的中間區域B,會有更多的金屬原子沉積在準直器4上,從而即使自中間區域B産生的金屬原子比中心區域C和邊緣區域A多,對應中間區域B的金屬原子在經過準直器4之後的數量也會與其他兩個區域的金屬原子在經過準直器4之後的數量基本相同,不會有明顯差別。準直器4相當於一個過濾器,其起到過濾作用,使對應不同區域經過的金屬原子的數量趨於一致,從而提高了薄膜沉積的均勻性。In this embodiment, the middle aspect ratio is greater than the center aspect ratio, and the middle aspect ratio is greater than the edge aspect ratio, that is, the middle aspect ratio is both greater than the center aspect ratio and greater than the edge aspect ratio. In this way, when the metal atoms produced by the
可選的,中心深寬比與邊緣深寬比的數值相同,即中心區域C和邊緣區域A具有相同的深寬比。這樣,可以保證對應中心區域C和邊緣區域A的金屬原子在經過準直器4之後的數量相同。Optionally, the central aspect ratio and the edge aspect ratio have the same value, that is, the central area C and the edge area A have the same aspect ratio. In this way, it can be ensured that the number of metal atoms corresponding to the central area C and the edge area A after passing through the
進一步可選的,中間深寬比比中心深寬比大15%以上,中間深寬比比邊緣深寬比大15%以上。在該範圍內,可以保證對應各區域的金屬原子在經過準直器4之後的數量基本相同。Further optionally, the middle aspect ratio is more than 15% larger than the center aspect ratio, and the middle aspect ratio is more than 15% larger than the edge aspect ratio. Within this range, it can be ensured that the number of metal atoms corresponding to each region after passing through the
另外,可選的,中心深寬比與邊緣深寬比的數值均大於2。在該範圍內,可以有效起到過濾作用。In addition, optionally, the values of the central aspect ratio and the edge aspect ratio are both greater than 2. Within this range, it can effectively play a filtering role.
在本實施例中,對應中心區域C的各通孔42的徑向截面面積、中間區域B的各通孔42的徑向截面面積、邊緣區域A的各通孔42的徑向截面面積相同。並且,中間區域B的各通孔42的深度應大於中心區域C及邊緣區域A的各通孔42的深度,其中,中心區域C和邊緣區域A的通孔42深度均爲50 mm及以上。In this embodiment, the radial cross-sectional area of each through
或者,中心區域C、中間區域B和邊緣區域A也可以具有相同的通孔深度。在這種情况下,中間區域B的各通孔的徑向截面面積應小於中心區域C及邊緣區域A的各通孔的徑向截面面積。Alternatively, the central area C, the middle area B, and the edge area A may also have the same through hole depth. In this case, the radial cross-sectional area of each through hole in the middle area B should be smaller than the radial cross-sectional area of each through hole in the central area C and the edge area A.
在實際應用中,準直主體1的徑向截面分別對應中心區域C、中間區域B和邊緣區域的區域各自的大小可根據具體需要而設定,但是,準直主體1的徑向截面分別對應中心區域C和邊緣區域A的區域的面積之和應占準直主體1的徑向橫截總面積的60%以上。這樣,可以保證對應中心區域C和邊緣區域A的金屬原子在經過準直器4之後的數量相同。In practical applications, the radial cross-sections of the
以上只是示例性說明,本實施例並不限於此。例如,中間深寬比可以大於中心深寬比和邊緣深寬比中的其中一個,且中間深寬比比中心深寬比或邊緣深寬比大15%以上,這樣也可以起到提高薄膜沉積的均勻性、深孔底部的薄膜覆蓋率以及深孔側壁的薄膜覆蓋率對稱性的效果。另外,當中間深寬比大於中心深寬比和邊緣深寬比時,中心深寬比與邊緣深寬比的數值也可以不同,但仍然需要滿足中間深寬比比中心深寬比和邊緣深寬比大15%以上,以保證對應各區域的金屬原子在經過準直器4之後的數量基本相同。The foregoing is only an exemplary description, and the present embodiment is not limited thereto. For example, the middle aspect ratio can be greater than one of the center aspect ratio and the edge aspect ratio, and the middle aspect ratio is more than 15% larger than the center aspect ratio or the edge aspect ratio, which can also improve the film deposition. The effect of uniformity, film coverage at the bottom of the deep hole, and symmetry of the film coverage on the sidewall of the deep hole. In addition, when the middle aspect ratio is greater than the center aspect ratio and the edge aspect ratio, the values of the center aspect ratio and the edge aspect ratio can also be different, but still need to meet the middle aspect ratio, the center aspect ratio and the edge aspect ratio. The ratio is greater than 15% to ensure that the number of metal atoms in each region after passing through the

可選的,腔室本體1的側壁包括沿其軸線(即,圖2中的Z方向)間隔設置的上側壁11和下側壁12。並且,反應腔室還包括絕緣筒體112和法拉第屏蔽件132,其中,絕緣筒體112連接在上側壁11和下側壁12之間,線圈6環繞設置在絕緣筒體112的外側。法拉第屏蔽件132環繞設置在絕緣筒體112的內側。具體來說,射頻電源7向線圈6提供射頻功率,以使線圈6産生電磁場,該電磁場經絕緣筒體112耦合至腔室本體1內。Optionally, the side wall of the
上述線圈6和射頻電源7構成一輔助等離子體激勵源。如圖5所示,在工藝時,腔室本體1內通入例如氬氣的處理氣體,除上電極組件5的等離子體激勵源504可激勵處理氣體産生等離子體外,線圈6發出的能量能够耦合至腔室本體1內,激勵氬氣産生第二等離子體Ar+
101。在基座2的負偏壓作用下,第二等離子體Ar+
101加速轟擊待加工工件X上的深孔底部的薄膜,使深孔底部已經沉積的一部分金屬M 102沉積到深孔的兩個側壁,由此提高了深孔側壁的覆蓋率。The above-mentioned
另外,由於使線圈6位於等離子體環境外部,不會被污染,因此,不需要對線圈6單獨進行更換,减少了使用成本。In addition, since the
