Description
本發明有關於一種晶圓承載盤,尤指一種應用該晶圓承載盤的薄膜沉積裝置,主要透過絕緣導熱單元電性隔離加熱單元及導電部,以避免加熱線圈的電流與導電部的交流偏壓相互導通,並有利於在晶圓承載盤承載的晶圓表面形成均勻的薄膜。。 The present invention relates to a wafer carrier plate, in particular to a thin film deposition device using the wafer carrier plate, which mainly electrically isolates a heating unit and a conductive part through an insulating heat-conducting unit, so as to avoid the current of the heating coil and the conductive part. The pressure is connected to each other, and it is beneficial to form a uniform thin film on the surface of the wafer carried by the wafer carrier. .
化學氣相沉積(CVD)、物理氣相沉積(PVD)及原子層沉積(ALD)皆是常用的薄膜沉積設備,並普遍被使用在積體電路、發光二極體及顯示器等製程中。 Chemical vapor deposition (CVD), physical vapor deposition (PVD) and atomic layer deposition (ALD) are all commonly used thin film deposition equipment, and are commonly used in integrated circuits, light-emitting diodes, and display manufacturing processes.
沉積的設備主要包括一腔體及一晶圓承載盤,其中晶圓承載盤位於腔體內,並用以承載至少一晶圓。以物理氣相沉積為例,腔體內需要設置一靶材,其中靶材面對晶圓承載盤上的晶圓。在進行物理氣相沉積時,可將惰性氣體及/或反應氣體輸送至腔體內,並分別對靶材及晶圓承載盤施加偏壓,其中晶圓承載盤還會加熱承載的晶圓。腔體內的惰性氣體會因為高壓電場的作用,形成離子化的惰性氣體。離子化的惰性氣體會受到靶材上的偏壓吸引而轟擊靶材。從靶材濺出的靶材原子或分子會受到晶圓承載盤上的偏壓吸引,並沉積在加熱的晶圓的表面,以在晶圓的表面形成薄膜。 The deposition equipment mainly includes a cavity and a wafer carrier. The wafer carrier is located in the cavity and used to carry at least one wafer. Taking physical vapor deposition as an example, a target material needs to be set in the cavity, where the target material faces the wafer on the wafer carrier tray. During physical vapor deposition, inert gas and/or reactive gas can be delivered into the cavity, and a bias voltage is applied to the target and the wafer carrier respectively, wherein the wafer carrier also heats the wafers carried. The inert gas in the cavity will form ionized inert gas due to the action of the high-voltage electric field. The ionized inert gas will be attracted by the bias on the target material and bombard the target material. The target atoms or molecules sputtered from the target are attracted by the bias voltage on the wafer carrier and are deposited on the surface of the heated wafer to form a thin film on the surface of the wafer.
此外在進行化學氣相沉積及原子層沉積時,亦可能需要加熱晶圓承載盤,並對晶圓承載盤提供偏壓,以利於在晶圓承載盤承載的晶圓表面形成厚度均勻的薄膜。 In addition, during chemical vapor deposition and atomic layer deposition, it may also be necessary to heat the wafer carrier and provide a bias voltage to the wafer carrier to facilitate the formation of a thin film of uniform thickness on the surface of the wafer carried by the wafer carrier.
如先前技術所述,在進行沉積製程時經常需要對晶圓承載盤提供一交流偏壓,並透過一加熱線圈加熱晶圓承載盤,以提高沉積在晶圓表面的薄膜的均勻度。然而加熱線圈上的交流電流有可會與晶圓承載盤上的交流偏壓相互導通,造成晶圓承載盤上的交流偏壓的大小不穩定,進而導致沉積在晶圓表面的薄膜的厚度不均勻。為了避免上述的情形發生,本發明提出一種新穎的晶圓承載盤,主要透過一絕緣導熱單元電性隔離晶圓承載盤上的加熱線圈及導電部,以防止加熱線圈上的交流電流干擾導電部上的交流偏壓,使得晶圓承載盤可形成穩定的交流偏壓,以提高晶圓表面形成的薄膜的均勻度。 As described in the prior art, during the deposition process, it is often necessary to provide an AC bias to the wafer carrier and heat the wafer carrier through a heating coil to improve the uniformity of the film deposited on the wafer surface. However, the AC current on the heating coil may be connected to the AC bias on the wafer carrier, causing the AC bias on the wafer carrier to become unstable, which in turn causes the thickness of the film deposited on the wafer surface to vary. Evenly. In order to avoid the above situation, the present invention proposes a novel wafer carrier, which mainly electrically isolates the heating coil and the conductive part on the wafer carrier through an insulating and thermally conductive unit, so as to prevent the alternating current on the heating coil from interfering with the conductive part. The AC bias on the wafer carrier can form a stable AC bias to improve the uniformity of the film formed on the wafer surface.

腔體21設置至少一進氣口211,其中進氣口211流體連接腔體21的容置空間26,並用以將一製程氣體輸送至容置空間26內,以進行沉積製程,例如製程氣體可以是惰性氣體或反應氣體。此外亦可於腔體21上設置一抽氣口,並透過幫浦經由抽氣口將腔體21內的氣體抽出。
The
環狀構件25設置在晶圓承載盤10上,並位於晶圓12的周圍。擋件27設置在腔體21的容置空間26內,並位於晶圓承載盤10的周圍區域。具體而言,擋件27的一端連接腔體21,而另一端則形成一開口。在本發明一實
施例中,擋件27未連接腔體21的一端可形成一環形凸緣271,其中環形凸緣271位於擋件27的開口周圍,並可將蓋環29設置在擋件27的環形凸緣271上。
The
腔體21可包括一進出料口212,用以輸送晶圓12。驅動單元28可連接支撐件17,並通過支撐件17驅動晶圓承載盤10遠離擋件27,如圖2所示。而後可透過機械手臂經由進出料口212將晶圓12放置在晶圓承載盤10上,機械手臂亦可經由進出料口212將晶圓承載盤10承載的晶圓12取出腔體21。
The
當機械手臂將晶圓12放置在晶圓承載盤10後,驅動單元28可透過支撐件17驅動晶圓承載盤10及承載的晶圓12朝擋件27的方向位移,使得晶圓承載盤10上的環狀構件25接觸擋件27上的蓋環29,而擋件27及蓋環29則環繞設置在晶圓12的周圍,如圖3所示。擋件27、蓋環39、晶圓承載盤10、晶圓12及/或環狀構件25會將腔體21的容置空間26區分成兩個部分,其中擋件27、蓋環29、晶圓承載盤10、環狀構件25及/或腔體21之間的空間可被定義為一反應空間261,而靶材24及晶圓12位於反應空間261內。
After the robot arm places the
在沉積的過程中,晶圓承載盤10的加熱單元11會加熱晶圓12,並會分別對頂板213及晶圓承載盤10施加偏壓,其中反應空間261內的惰性氣體因為高壓電場的作用,而形成離子化的惰性氣體。離子化的惰性氣體會受到靶材24上的偏壓吸引而轟擊靶材24,從靶材24濺出的靶材原子或分子會受到晶圓承載盤10上的偏壓吸引,沉積在晶圓12的表面。
During the deposition process, the
請配合參閱圖1,本發明晶圓承載盤10的加熱單元11及導電部15被絕緣導熱單元13隔離,其中加熱單元11的加熱線圈14的交流電流不會傳
輸至導電部15上,使得導電部15可形成穩定的交流偏壓或直流偏壓,並可提高晶圓12表面沉積的薄膜品質。
